Registration - XSJ 153Chassis - 21525M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 37,317 This fascinating two-seat special is based on a 1947 Alvis TA14. The vendor acquired it in 2014 and informs us that the boat-tailed conversion was carried out some years previously by a garage in Caernarfon. Evidently all the running gear is TA14, including the rod brakes, but the engine is not the original one. The unique car’s specification includes: a clip-on hood and side screens; semaphore arms; a working Smiths heater; a charming radiator mascot depicting a large-pawed hare; a pair of massive Lucas King of the Road headlights; and a period brass fire extinguisher. The vendor confirms the car is running, but says it would currently benefit from a service and some light recommissioning. He presently grades the four-cylinder engine, manual gearbox, two-seater bodywork, green paintwork and black vinyl upholstery as all being in ‘average’ condition. ‘XSJ 153’ is now available for purchase complete with a large quantity of spares (including another engine, two spare gear boxes, as well as spare guages), that can be collected from the vendor, plus an array of old tools and vintage fuel cans etc, but relatively little paperwork. The TA 14 was Alvis’s first post-war offering and was sold from 1946 to 1950, at which point the model was superseded by the TA21. The TA14 was available in two configurations: a four-door saloon with body by Mulliners of Birmingham, or a two-door drophead with body by either Tickford or Carbodies. The model was based on a widened and lengthened pre-war Alvis 12/70 chassis and retained that car’s leaf spring suspension and mechanically operated brakes. However, whereas the 12/70 was equipped with wire wheels, the newcomer was fitted with steel discs rims.The Alvis was powered by an enlarged 12/70 engine – a four-cylinder unit of 1892cc fed by a single SU carburettor and producing 65bhp. This was mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. The model had a top speed of around 74mph and could reach 60mph in just over 22 seconds. Some 3,311 examples of the model are said to have been produced in the four years of production. In summary:A unique two-seat special with Alvis TA14 running gearIn running order but in need of a service and some recommissioningLot includes a host of spares, including a second engine

Registration - GDW565WChassis - GCATWM010920M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 9.512 Here we have a very smartly presented MKII RS2000 Custom that’s finished in the discreetly attractive combination of Nordic Blue bodywork and light beige interior trim. It was apparently stored for 10 years by the previous owner and has travelled a mere 200 miles in the last 14. However, it has been the subject of much attention, including a full engine and gearbox rebuild four years ago by Burton Power, during which the motor was fitted with a brand-new pair of Weber carburettors. Among the many other items replaced are: the brake system, front and rear dampers, and the upholstery which was installed by Aldridge Trimming of Wolverhampton. Additions to the standard specification include power-assisted steering by Burton Power and a Pandora Elite alarm system. The vendor currently classes the Pinto engine, five-speed manual gearbox and upholstery as ‘excellent’, and the two-door bodywork and paintwork as ‘good’. He is now offering the fast Ford complete with: upgraded sound system, jack, spare wheel, and a history file containing old MOTs, plus invoices and photos in support of the work carried out. Ford’s long awaited MKII RS2000 was launched at the 1975 Earls Court show. Based on the two-door saloon, it was the most luxurious of the sporting Escorts of the time, and was powered by an uprated version of the 2.0-litre SOHC Pinto unit employed in the Capri, Cortina and Granada – a four-into-two exhaust manifold coupled to a big bore exhaust system raising its output to 110bhp. This was sufficient to help sprint the Escort to 60mph in 8.5 secs and on to a top speed of almost 110mph. The foam-filled plastic snout and flexible rear spoiler were said to give a significant reduction in drag. The custom version offered from late 1978 onwards featured the following: fishnet headrests on Recaro seats, full door cards, clock, centre console, 6Jx13in RS alloy wheels, boot carpet, remote-control driver’s door mirror, black rear body panel. In summary:A handsome six-keeper example that’s driven 200 miles in 14 yearsEngine, transmission, brakes and interior all recently rebuiltComes complete with power steering and aftermarket alarm system

Registration - T730 SCGChassis No. - JN1GBAS14U0031771M.O.T. - July 2024Odometer - 53,624 Attractively finished in a dark shade of green and trimmed in grey leather, ‘T730 SCG’ benefits from having the optional turbocharged version of Nissan’s proven 2.0-litre twin-cam powerplant. It rides on quality Michelin Primacy tyres and currently displays a totally credible (though unwarranted) total mileage of just 53,624 courtesy of six keepers, the most recent of whom has retained the Nissan since January last year. He classes the well-presented interior as ‘excellent’, and the four-cylinder engine, five-speed manual transmission, two-door bodywork and metallic paintwork as ‘good’. He is now offering the car complete with Kenwood bluetooth stereo coupled to a boot-mounted Clarion CD autochanger, service history file, and a current MOT valid into July next year. Multiple generations of Nissan’s ‘Silvia’ series of compact sports cars were offered at home and abroad from 1965-1968 and 1975-2002. The S14 model that debuted in Japan towards the end of 1993 was marketed in Europe as the 200SX, and is the offering that concerns us here. A sporting two-door coupe, it was available between 1994 and 2000 with a 2.0-litre twin-cam engine in either normally-aspirated or turbo form, and with either five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. The attractive model was treated to a mild styling update during 1996, versions of which are known by the Nissan cognoscenti as the S14A – examples with the force-fed engine also benefited from improved turbochargers. The cars rode on five-spoke alloy wheels and featured a prominent boot spoiler. In summary:A discreet performance car with two-litre turbo powerA six-keeper example currently displaying just 53,624 milesEquipped with bluetooth stereo and CD autochanger

Registration - SLX 569Chassis - A1543700HC0M.O.T. - January 2024Odometer - 34,160 This delightful and ultra-rare (only five remain in the UK) Minx convertible is arguably deserving of its own feature film. Back in March 2019, rotten as a pear and stripped for spares following zero interest in it as complete project, it was three days away from an appointment with the crusher when the vendor came galloping over the hill on a white charger (we made that last bit up) and rescued it for the princely sum of £400. The first task was to source a pair of new rear wings and door shuts, as the originals were long gone. A trusty fabricator friend of the vendor then began the long road to recreating the shell, while another rebuilt the engine and gearbox, while yet another (Paddy from VC Classics of Doncaster) dealt with the Minx’s reassembly, respray in Rover Old English White, installation of new carpets etc. The painstaking rebuild was carried out to original specification with one obvious exception – due to a lack of hood and hood frame, the car was reconfigured as a roadster with tonneau; something that can easily be reversed for the cost of a bespoke hood, if and when required. ‘SLX 569’ started life in black and was first registered in Park Lane, London in March 1956. No more is known of its history until it was purchased by a Mr Scutter of Reading in 2001. It then languished on his farm until his death in 2017, at which point the rights passed to his son from whom it was rescued two years later. Unsurprisingly the vendor now considers the 1390cc four-cylinder engine, column-change four-speed transmission, bodywork, paintwork and cream upholstery to all be in ‘excellent’ condition. Only completed in January this year, this splendid phoenix of a Hillman is now ready for some lucky new owner to enjoy. It comes complete with a separate rebuilt gearbox (the one in the car is slightly noisy in first and reverse due to a chipped tooth), splendid two-tone tonneau cover, history file and a current MOT valid to January next year. In summary:A unique four-keeper, 34,217-mile exampleRescued from certain destruction and lovingly rebuilt over 4 yearsUnderstood to be one of only five such convertibles left in the UK

Registration - DNN 543Chassis - S1/E/152922M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 94,784 Morris 8s are rare visitors to the auctions these days, and it’s certainly a long time since we’ve seen one in this condition. It was first registered in July 1937 and decades later has been the subject of a comprehensive restoration that was started in the 1980s by a previous owner and recently completed by the vendor. The engine was apparently rebuilt at the outset but has covered very few miles since. Within the last two years the body was removed, the chassis treated to some minor welding, the car repainted in the more appealing combination of black over green, the interior completely retrimmed, and new tyres fitted all round. The work included an overhaul of the braking system, but the vendor is keen for us to point out that the rear shoes currently have a tendency to bind, while the front linings apparently need matching (spare linings are included in the lot). The car has been refurbished to original specification, the only exception being the very sensible addition of flashing indicators. A WW2 theme has been created by the addition of white bumpers, side stripes and headlight mask, but the latter two can apparently be readily removed if desired. The vendor presently classes the bodywork and upholstery as ‘good to excellent’ and the engine, gearbox and paintwork as ‘good’, and he is now selling ‘DNN 543’ complete with new six-volt battery, luggage rack, suitcase, period-correct jack, toolkit, tyre pump, oil can, a selection of genuine WW2 related items (suitable for re-enactments) and some spare parts, plus a history file containing receipts and photos covering the work carried out. The Series I Morris Eight was unveiled in 1935 as a rival to Ford’s hot-selling Model Y. It was better equipped than most of its competitors and boasted electric wipers, synchromesh on its upper two gearbox ratios and Lockheed hydraulic brakes. The model was powered by a 918cc side-valve engine of 23.5bhp and ultimately produced in no less than five guises – ie two and four-door saloon, cabriolet, tourer and van. A total of 164,102 Series Is were produced all told. In summary:The subject of a recently completed long-term restorationNotably well presented to original specificationComes with some genuine WW2 items suitable for re-enactments

Registration - R994 BWTChassis No - SAXXPDNADBD157772M.O.T. - NoneOdometer - 14,600Here we have the potential bargain of the sale – a totally original Rover 100 that’s covered just 14,611 warranted miles from new and is being sold at No Reserve. In short, if you are seeking an economical university runabout for your son or daughter, then ‘R994 BWT’ could well fit the bill perfectly. Its red three-door hatchback bodywork is teamed with Ascot grey/fawn cloth interior trim that’s in unmarked condition. The Rover is powered by an 1120cc version of the K Series engine, drives through a five-speed manual gearbox, and rides on steel wheels shod in quality BFGoodrich tyres. It has had a total of seven keepers to date, and was acquired by the current one a year ago. He says the car ‘runs and drives superbly’ and presently grades the four-cylinder engine, transmission and upholstery as ‘excellent’ and the bodywork and paintwork as ‘good’, and is now selling the car complete with new fuel pump, Philips radio/cassette and history that supports the ultra-low indicated mileage. The Rover 100 was the final iteration of what started life as the Austin Mini Metro. That model first saw the light of day in 1980 and was intended as a larger alternative to the classic Mini, which was now 21 years old. Some of the Mini’s proven underpinnings were carried over; not least its sub-frame mounted 998 and 1275cc engines that drove the front wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox. The suspension was a version of the Allegro’s Hydragas system. The newcomer was initially just sold in three-door Hatchback form, but the packaging was good, accommodation deceptive and the ride and handling much lauded, and the model became a big seller, with a million finding homes within the first 10 years of production. By May 1990, the Austin had been heavily revised and morphed into the Rover Metro, complete with a new range ofK Series engines, and by December 1994 even the Metro moniker itself had been consigned to history and the car renamed the Rover 100. In summary:Just 14,611 warranted miles and seven keepers from newAn original unmolested example with ‘unmarked’ interiorEntered from a deceased estate and being sold at No Reserve

Registration - M3 EOVChassis No - WBSBG92000EA89525M.O.T - July 2024Odometer - 109,000 This very tidy Evo certainly looks the part, its Estoril metallic paintwork contrasting nicely with the grey Alcantara interior trim and shiny BMW Motorsport alloy wheels. It has had a total of just seven keepers to date, the most recent of whom has retained the car since July 2017. It was apparently serviced last month, and other recent maintenance has included: refurbishment of the engine’s VANOS system; replacement of the cam cover gasket; the installation of a new Milltek exhaust system; new front brake discs and pads and fresh rear calipers and pads; refurbishment of the Fulda-shod wheels. The vendor presently grades the six-speed manual transmission as ‘excellent’, the six-cylinder engine, two-door bodywork and upholstery as ‘good’, and the paintwork as ‘average’. He is now offering the BMW complete with: engine strut brace; sunroof, Sony CD player and 10-stack autochanger; spare wheel and tyre; full tool kit; first aid kit; and a pair of A4 folders covering the car’s history, plus a current MOT valid into July of next year. The odometer presently registers c.109,000 miles The third generation of BMW’s all-conquering 3 Series model (code name E36) was launched to much acclaim in October 1990. It was penned by Pinky Lai and Boyke Boyer who, as its silhouette suggests, were intent on optimising the newcomer’s aerodynamics. The model was ultimately produced in saloon, hatchback, coupe, convertible and estate guises, and with a choice of engines ranging from 1.6 to 3.2 litres. The M3 variant was offered from 1992 to 1999, the desirable Evolution development of which was launched at the 1995 Frankfurt Salon and featured a larger 3.2-litre engine of advanced specification, that was coupled to a six-speed Getrag gearbox. The E36 range was supplanted by the E46 in the year 2000. In summary:An eye-catching example of the relatively rare Evo variantThe subject of considerable recent maintenanceComes with Milltek exhaust, sunroof, Sony CD system and MOT
Lot 78
Registration - 305 NYAChassis No - AA2S7-D148784M.O.T. - August 2024Odometer - 31,269 This early, floor-start example of Alec Issigonis’ mould-breaking small car has recently emerged from a major restoration - its rebuilt original 848cc engine has subsequently covered just 100 miles. The body is freshly painted in the same Almond Green colour it bore when it left the factory, while the new light green and grey interior trim is also to original specification, and the Mini rides on period-correct 10” cream-painted steel wheels shod in Falken Sincera SN-807 tyres. A nice, and rare touch are the two wicker baskets housed under the rear seat – a little-known option back in the day. The vendor describes all aspects of the newly-restored car as ‘excellent’ and informs us that ‘305 NYA’ has been in the same family ownership for 20 years – not the more usual father-to-son story, however, but son-to-father! The enthusiast pair – the fifth and sixth keepers - have compiled two ‘huge’ history folders’. The Heritage Certificate shows that the matching-numbers vehicle rolled off the Longbridge production line on September 13, 1961, and was despatched to Taunton Motor Company in Somerset two days later (the dealer plate is still displayed on the driver’s door sill). It was then issued with registration ‘305 NYA’ on October 27. Sensitively restored and very well presented complete with 12 months’ worth of MOT, this charming little motorcar should provide its next owner with many years of fun motoring. The classic Mini needs little introduction. BMC’s compact, two-door, four-seater may have first gone on sale in August 1959 but is inextricably linked to the Swinging Sixties. Designer Alec Issigonis maximised the space available for passengers and luggage by mounting the 850cc A Series engine transversely and driving the front wheels, making it a far more practical proposition than its diminutive proportions initially suggest. The model was first marketed as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini-Minor, with the Austin Seven being renamed the Austin Mini in January 1962, and the Mini marque itself coming into being in 1969. In summary:A newly-restored, matching numbers, floor-start exampleSame family ownership for the past 20 years; six keepers in totalJust 100 miles covered since completion of the restoration

Registration- DGS 383XChassis No - WF0CXXGAECBR03631M.O.T. - September 2024Odometer - 90,000 Big-engined Capris are all the rage these days, but ‘DGS 383X’ takes the scene to a whole new level. What started life as an unassuming blue 3.0S is now an immaculate white specimen sporting beefy X-pack arches that shield wide-rim RS wheels shod with 225/50 R15 Yokohama tyres. Inside, the rear seat has been removed and a full FIA Safety Devices roll cage installed along with bucket seats, Securon harnesses, carbonfibre door cards and many other mods aimed at fast road or on-track driving. The engine has apparently recently been rebuilt and, although we’re not party to the full specification, a quick peek under the bonnet reveals a trio of carburettors – a sturdy strut brace is also evident. The vendor presently regards the V6 engine, five-speed manual transmission, modified bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as all being in ‘excellent’ order. The Capri is now on offer complete with lots of receipts and old MOTS that evidently support the indicated mileage of 91,421, plus a current MOT valid for the next 12 months. Ford’s Capri was launched at the 1969 Brussels Salon. The fastback coupe was intended to do for Europe what the Mustang had done for the USA. The newcomer was initially offered with a generous choice of four-cylinder engines, but by September they’d been joined by the 136bhp, 3-litre V6 Essex unit. Worthwhile improvements to the model came with the MKII versions of 1974 and the quadruple headlamp MKIII cars introduced in 1978. The 3.0S version was immortalised in the TV Series ‘The Professionals’ and a pair of cars from that show recently fetched £93,375 each! In summary:A tastefully much-modified example for use on road or trackNine-keepers and a warranted 91,421 miles from newComes with lots of paperwork and a fresh 12 months’ of MOT

Registration - H609 FDHChassis No - YV1944855M1023355M.O.T. - April 2024Odometer - 75,089If you’re in search of a sturdy and capacious cruiser that’s clearly been cherished from new, then you could do a lot worse than take a peek at ‘H609 FDH’, that combines Volvo’s rugged build quality with what appears to be fastidious former ownership. It’s a 1991 940 GLE that’s finished in a pleasing shade of metallic blue and trimmed in blue fabric. Despite travelling 75,089 warranted miles, it looks as though its seats have barely been sat on and its boot never been pressed into service. In fact, the Volvo’s had four keepers to date but, while the vendor has only had the car for a year or so, it had previously remained in the same ownership for 30 years, during which it was always garaged and, it would seem, fastidiously maintained. For example, it is accompanied by every MOT it’s been issued with from new, as well as a notebook in which is chronicled every item of work carried out, including when tyres were replaced etc. We understand a full engine service, including the replacement of the cambelt, was carried out a mere 89 miles ago, at a not insignificant cost of £2,158.08. The vendor now has no hesitation in declaring the four-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, four-door bodywork, paintwork and upholstery as all being in ‘excellent’ order, and is offering this apparently excellent motorcar at No Reserve and complete with factory-fitted sunroof and audio system, tow hook, Haynes manual, first aid kit, the aforementioned paperwork and old MOTs, plus a current certificate valid to April 3, 2024. Volvo’s 700 series range of executive saloons and estate cars was produced from 1982 to 1992, during which time no less than 1,430,000 examples were manufactured. Though slightly less luxurious than the 760, the 740 is nevertheless a well-appointed executive offering that could be chosen with any one of a number of engines, from a normally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder one to the top of the range 2.3-litre turbo unit. The sale car is powered the normally-aspirated 2.3-litre option. In summary:A fastidiously maintained four-keeper, 75,089-mile exampleRemained within the same ownership for 30 yearsBeing sold at No Reserve.

Registration - RL02 HJDChassis No - WP0ZZZ98Z2U604687M.O.T. - 12/2023Odometer - 95,000Boxsters have been lauded by the press and enthusiasts alike from the day the model was launched 27 years ago, despite which they remain remarkably good value in the second-hand market. This tidy 986 example is powered by the 2.7-litre engine which drives through the optional Tiptronic paddle-shift gearbox. It has recently been treated to a new hood and nowadays rides on a set of premium Pirelli P Zero tyres. The vendor, the Porsche’s sixth keeper, inform us that while in his care it ‘has always been dry stored and well maintained, runs and drives superbly, and could happily be employed as a daily driver’. He presently grades the flat-six engine, transmission and convertible bodywork as ‘excellent’, the black leather trim as ‘good to excellent’, and the silver paintwork as ‘good’. ‘RL02 HJD’ is now being sold complete with a full service history (including the stamps of a number of Porsche specialists), a pair of keys, an assortment of invoices, and a current MOT valid to December 4. The chic two-door, two-seat Boxster was introduced alongside the evergreen 911 in 1996. Being of mid- rather than rear-engined configuration it actually exhibited superior handling and roadholding to the seemingly immortal 911, winning immediate acclaim from the media and customers alike. It was also the first road-going Porsche since the 550 Spyder to be designed from scratch as a roadster, having been penned that way by Dutch designer Harm Lagaay, who was also primarily responsible for the 968, 993, Cayenne, 996 and Carrera GT. The Boxster sobriquet was a contraction of ‘boxer-engined roadster’ – the newcomer being a convertible with water-cooled flat-six engine. At launch the powerplant was 2.5-litres in capacity, but the standard offering was increased to 2.7-litres in 2000, coincident with the introduction of the higher performance 3.2-litre S. Suspension was independent all round by MacPherson struts and coil springs, braking by power-assisted ventilated discs, and steering by rack and pinion. With 225bhp on tap the 2.7-litre version was capable of sprinting to 60mph in only a little over six seconds and on to a top speed of almost 160mph. In summary:A tidy six-keeper, 95,513-mile example with automatic transmissionRecently treated to a new hood and a set of premium tyresComes complete with full service history and current MOT

Registration - S475 UKYChassis No - VF7S6NFZF56784290M.O.T. - NoneOdometer - 65,000 According to the ‘How Many Left’ website, just 653 Saxo VTRs are currently licensed for use on UK roads, which explains why these attractive pocket-rockets are now rarely seen. This attractive MK1 version matches Poseidon Blue paintwork to multi-coloured cloth interior trim. Its relatively modest indicated mileage of 65,507 is supported by its MOT record and stems from the Citroën having been dry stored for the past 10 years and travelled only 13,221 miles in the last 17. The vendor currently classes its four-cylinder engine, five-speed manual gearbox and paintwork as ‘excellent’ and the three-door bodywork and upholstery as ‘good’. He is now selling the Saxo without Reserve and complete with glass sunroof, Wharfdale audio unit and Dimma locking fuel cap. Launched in 1996, the Saxo was Citroën’s replacement for the successful AX, and was certainly a step forward in terms of design. The frontwheel drive newcomer was offered with a choice of no less than four petrol engines varying in capacity from 954 to 1587cc, and one diesel unit of 1527cc. There were two sporting options among the range – VTR and VTS. The MK1 VTR (1997-1999) was powered by a fuel-injected eight-valve version of the company’s four-cylinder 1587cc powerplant, the output of which was 90bhp. Thanks to a lightweight bodyshell, this was sufficient to sprint the three-door hatchback to 60mph in under 10 seconds and on to a top speed of c.116mph. Suspension was by coil springs up front and torsion bars at the rear, and braking by discs all-round, ventilated at the front. The bodykit that distinguished the VTR from the more junior members of the line-up was shared with the top of the range VTS model. In summary:An apparently very original eight-keeper exampleThe modest overall mileage of 65,507 is backed by the MOT recordDry stored for the last 10 years

Registration - N426 MPVChassis No - JT153UF2000033048M.O.T. - July 2024Odometer - 104,000‘N426 MPV’ was first registered in September 1995, and is a second generation model and therefore benefits from all the improvements that that brought to the market. It has had a total of seven keepers to date, including both the vendor and his wife, and has remained in their care since 2019. It has been the subject of ongoing maintenance during their tenure and the work has included: the respraying of the bumpers by Agmors Coachworks of Glasgow, refurbishment of the ECU, the replacement of the handbrake cables and installation of four new tyres - Nokian on the front and Pirelli on the rear. The most recent service was conducted six months ago, which included a change of oil and filter and the replacement of a pair lambda sensors. The vendor presently considers the automatic transmission and grey leather interior trim to be in ‘excellent’ order, and classes the 3968cc V8 engine, four-door bodywork and Pearlescent White paintwork as ‘good’. The odometer of the Lexus currently registers a total of 105,079 miles, a figure that appears to be supported by the MOT history. The car is now being offered complete with a glass sunroof and current MOT valid into July next year, and is being sold at No Reserve. When launched in 1989 the first generation LS 400 was designed to serve as the flagship model for the Lexus brand – the luxury division of Toyota. It was a relatively conventional saloon with a V8 engine mounted up front and driving the rear wheels. It was generally well received, however, and remained in production until usurped by the second generation version four years later. The engineers had worked hard in the intervening years and the newcomer, though very similar in looks, was an improvement in many ways and featured a longer wheelbase, strengthened body structure, an updated suspension system, improved braking and increased sound insulation. There was also a reduction in weight which led to a modest gain in fuel economy, while the performance of the 3968cc V8 engine had risen slightly to 260bhp – sufficient to allow the big Lexus to sprint from rest to 60mph in around 7 seconds when required. In summary:A well-presented 105,079-mile exampleThe subject of ongoing maintenance in the current ownershipComes with current MOT and is being sold at No Reserve

Registration - A423 MDYChassis - C66500M.O.T. - June 2024Odometer - 55,400 This eye-catching Morgan is accompanied by a substantial history file of invoices and photographs documenting the extensive body-off restoration to which it was treated in 2019/2020. The 1597cc, four-cylinder Ford CVH engine was completely stripped and rebored; the cylinder head skimmed; the crankshaft overhauled with new bearings; the timing belt, water pump and oil pump replaced; the carburettor overhauled, and a Piper fast road camshaft and new pistons rings, alternator and coil installed. The Ford Type 9 manual five-speed gearbox with long 1st gear was overhauled by specialists Leek Transmission, and a new brake master cylinder, pipes and calipers fitted, along with uprated dampers and springs and a new wiring loom. The body received new door posts and a fresh pair of steel front wings prior to undergoing a full professional bare-metal respray in British Racing Green. To complete the picture, the interior was retrimmed in green-piped cream leather. In total, more than £10,000 was spent on bringing the car up to ‘excellent’ condition throughout, while the wood of dashboard, Moto-Lita steering wheel and gear-knob help retain the period feel that typifies the 4/4. The odometer presently indicates a credible though unwarranted total mileage of 55,397, while MOT records confirm that this very tidy Morgan has covered fewer than 1,000 miles since 2007. Launched in 1936, the 4/4 was the first four-wheeled vehicle Morgan produced, with the 4/4 name indicating four wheels and four cylinders. Production was halted briefly during WWII and from March 1951 to September 1955, other than that it ran continuously until 2018, making the model the world’s longest-running production vehicle. This nimble sports car originally featured a 1122cc Coventry Climax engine, while the Series II 4/4 introduced in 1955 featured a Morgan Plus 4 chassis and 1172cc side-valve engine. Various incarnations followed, leading to the launch of the 4/4 1600 in 1968, to which the 1597cc Ford CVH engine was fitted from March 1982 to November 1991, during which time 1,652 4/4s like the one now offered were built. In summary:A handsome example of the quintessential British sports carThe subject of a well-documented restoration in 2019/2020Subtly modified with fast road camshaft and uprated suspension

Registration - G262 JUHChassis No - SFABXXBAFBLL79780M.O.T. - April 2024Odometer - 30,000 The black bodywork of this tidy-looking XR2i is teamed with patterned grey cloth interior trim and rides on period correct alloy wheels shod with Nankang tyres. It is an eight-keeper example that is currently registering a very modest total mileage of 30,190 (unwarrented), that appears to be supported by its partial MOT history. The vendor informs us that the Ford has just been treated to a service but volunteers there is a slight misfire and some evidence of both oil and coolant leaks. Overall he rates the hot hatch’s bodywork as and paintwork as ‘good’, the five-speed manual transmission and upholstery as ‘average’, and the CVH engine as ‘below average’. The car is now being sold complete with glass sunroof, Pioneer radio/cassette player and a current MOT certificate valid to April 24. After developing through no less than seven generations, Ford’s incredibly successful Fiesta was finally discontinued in June of this year, much to the disappointment of its legions of fans the world over. No less than 22 million examples were sold during the model’s astonishing 47-year reign, 4.8 million of which found homes in the UK, where it was the top selling model for 12 consecutive years (2009-2020) and the country’s best-selling car of all time. From frugal family car to winner of international rallies, Ford’s famous baby has ticked countless boxes in its reign and leaves a very large automotive hole behind it. The XR2i model we’re concerned with here, was a performance version of the MKIII Fiesta that was launched in 1989. It was powered by Fords 1600cc eight-valve OHC CVH engine of 108bhp – sufficient output to accelerate the three-door hatchback to 60mph in around 9 seconds and on to a terminal speed of c.118mph. In summary:An eight-keeper example displaying just 30,190 miles from newJust serviced, and MOT’d to April 24 next yearEquipped with factory sunroof and Pioneer stereo system
Lot 68
Registration - 815 YUKChassis No. - AN5-L/39237M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 6,763 This bonnie specimen was imported from America and first UK registered in March 2012, since when it has had just the one registered owner - ie the late father of the vendor, who we gather lavished a considerable level of time and money on the car. It apparently started life in yellow, but is now resplendent in dark blue, that’s matched to blue interior trim, an (as yet unused) red hood, and silver-painted wire wheels. The vendor informs us that the Frogeye was campaigned in speed hillclimbs while in the US, hence the conversion to knock-off wheels and what is thought to be a 1275 rather than the original 948cc A Series engine. He confirms that while in his father’s tenure the car was always garaged and well maintained, and he currently regards the powerplant, four-speed manual transmission, bodywork, paintwork and upholstery as all being in ‘good’ order. He volunteers that the twin SU carburettors would now benefit form a tune-up, but otherwise reckons the Sprite is good to go, and is selling it complete with a brand new battery, tonneau cover, Moto-Lita woodrim steering wheel and history file. Thanks to its prominent, bonnet-mounted headlights, the original Sprite quickly became known as the ‘Frogeye’ - a moniker that has stuck to this day. The little two-seater, designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company and built by BMC at the MG factory in Abingdon, was launched in Monte Carlo immediately prior to the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix. The unique, one-piece bonnet covered a mildly tuned, 43bhp 948cc version of the BMC A series engine already found in the Austin A35 and Morris Minor. The suspension was by coil springs and wishbones at the front and quarter elliptic springs at the rear, with lever arm dampers all round. The construction was ‘integrated’ rather than a full monocoque and featured forward projecting chassis legs of the type used in the E-Type Jaguar. The minimal specification excluded exterior door handles and boot lid. Some 49,000 Frogeyes were built between 1958 and 1961. In summary:One caring UK owner since being imported from the USA in 2012Features wire wheels and Moto-Lita woodrim steering wheelEquipped with an as yet unused red hood and new battery
