1978 Bentley T2 Long Wheelbase Transmission: automaticMileage:The Bentley T-Series was the Bentley badged version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, available as a four or two-door saloon with coachwork by James Young or Mulliner Park Ward. The Bentley differed from its Rolls-Royce equivalent by its more rounded front grille and different bonnet while the badging on the wheel covers, boot lid and gauges naturally featured Bentley motifs. In October 1966, the 'T' saloon's pre-tax 'list price' of £5,375 undercut the Rolls-Royce by £50! The Bentley was technically an identical twin of the Rolls-Royce and seemed to have been purchased mostly by owners wishing for a more understated luxury saloon.This rare luxury long wheelbase Bentley T2 was first registered on 20th January 1978, the car is one of only two built this production year and is presented in Scots Pine Green coachwork with a contrasting cream leather opulent trim. A non Everflex roof car and a car well known to the Rolls-Royce and Bentley owners club due to its rarity, this car has spent a number of years in Germany and was cared for by Steenbuck Automobiles with a number of TÃV certificates for recent years available in the history file. Prior to its holiday in Germany, Ghost Motors were responsible for its care and since its return to the UK the car has spent the last year wafting around London going to various social events. Delivered new to a titled owner, this car has spent much of its life being chauffeur driven and well maintained, with documents found in the history file. We are informed by the owner that the car is in very good order.Not only are the long wheelbase cars four inches longer but we believe incredibly good value given the rarity in the Rolls-Royce and Bentley marketplace, what better way to arrive to that social event and impress?
2023 Shepherds Hut Transmission: manualMileage:This has been fastidiously built by the vendor's craftsman and all on a solid, blasted and painted turntable chassis base. In other words, there is real build quality at play here. And far more usable in terms of being a voided space within, rather than being cluttered up with fixed beds, tables, chairs, etc.Easy for someone to have a pull-out double sofa, or a simple workstation with chair, etc.Built on a twin axle base, this attractive Shepherds Hut / Home Office / Garden Room has been bespoke-built using finest quality & sustainable materials with precision and meticulous attention to detail throughout. 3x 2 studwork, fully insulated walls and floor with Thermawrap to ceiling. Cloaked in Tyvec breathable membrane over 8mm ply, featherboard to the outside and TGV within. Two double USB plug points with 3-way fuse board, twin LED light string on top of each sidewall and exterior caravan hook up. Brand-new Irish Oak UPVC double glazing throughout, including the unique and magnificent 1500mm x 1500mm picture window- that beautifully frames any view- twin top-opening side windows and half-glazed entrance door. Blackout blinds are fitted within, providing good privacy so as to get a good nights sleep and keep any glare out, should you be working on your computer/laptop. The roof is corrugated tin, giving a nice traditional look. This Shepherds Hut is warm in winter due to the insulation and slimline low-watt heater, cool in summer and this creates the perfect home office or garden room or just simply a fun safe space for children to 'hang out' at a fraction of the price or hassle of an extension or conservatory.
1948 Morris Minor MM Lowlight Split Screen Transmission: manualMileage:15538Sir Alec Issigonis' concept was to combine the luxury and convenience of a good motor car at a price affordable by the working classes. The Minor was a roomy vehicle with superior cornering and handling characteristics. The Minor prototype had been known as the Morris Mosquito. More than 1.3 million of the lightweight, rear-wheel drive cars were eventually produced, mainly in Cowley, Oxfordshire, becoming Britain's first car to sell a million units and was exported around the world. Production continued in Birmingham until 1972 with the last Morris Minor (commercial) assembled at Stoke, Nelson, New Zealand in 1974. The front torsion bar suspension was shared with the larger Morris Oxford as was the almost-unibody construction. Although the Minor was originally designed to accept a flat four engine with four distinctive gaps in the engine bay to accommodate it, late in the development stage it was replaced by a 918cc side-valve inline-four engine, pretty much unchanged from the outgoing Morris 8 and producing 27.5hp and 39lbf ft of torque. This little engine pushed the Minor to just 64mph but delivered 40 miles per imperial gallon.This example is one of the very earliest cars in existence, being just the seventh car to roll off the production line in 1948. It is understood to be the oldest example in private ownership, with chassis number 501 belonging to the National Motor Museum. The car was purchased by our vendor's late uncle in 1965, being in the family ever since. The car is presented in exceptional condition throughout, the Platinum Grey paintwork gleams and would proudly sit next to far more expensive cars at any show. The car has some very rare features, such as the single round rear lights, a part which is said to have taken twenty years to source during the ground up restoration process, when a new old stock pair were found at an autojumble. The car also has side semaphore indicators and chrome door tops, opposed the stainless steel tops found on later cars.This example really does need to be seen to be fully appreciated, it is understood to be the oldest running useable example; there are no records of chassis numbers 502-506, so this car is likely to be the oldest surviving example which is publicly available. It's very unlikely that the National Motor Museum will sell chassis 501 anytime soon. This car would be a fantastic addition to any collection and is an opportunity which should not be missed.
1978 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II Transmission: automaticMileage:58000Whilst the Yichang Factory in China assembles a car every 46 seconds, over here we take our time. And it shows. For every Silver Shadow that Rolls-Royce produced in Crew during the 1970s and 80s, the highly focused and specialised workforce spent 12 weeks putting each one together. From the advanced fully-independent and self-levelling suspension to the all-aluminium 6.75 litre, V8 engine with its power-output tactfully described as "adequate". As modern as the engineering was beneath the skin, every owner was still afforded the last word in luxury and refinement with Connolly leather and burr walnut, a symphony of the most elegant of automotive interiors. This ULEZ-exempt example is presented in the rare-optioned metallic Silver Sand with a beige interior piped in dark brown with Cumberland Stone carpets, lambswool over-rugs and footrests. The Cumberland Stone carpets also continue into the boot, a feature rarely seen, compared to standard black. Also included is a dark brown dash-top with beige knee-roll and radio surround. This Silver Shadow II also boasts the Harvey Bailey handling package, passenger door mirror controllable from the inside and lightly tinted Sundym glass all round in fact, the interior of this car is hard to fault especially when combined with ice-cold (updated system to R134A) air conditioning.Originally delivered to Lex Mead Rolls-Royce in Bristol, it was then immediately transferred to Jack Barclay in London whereupon it was sold to the first owner. A comprehensive service history, initially from Jack Barclay then Haines & Hall followed by specialists can be found within a stamped service book in the original owner's pack alongside all receipts, MoT's test certificates and a documented summary of all service work. Another recent addition includes new hydraulic brakes and suspension pipes, four new and correct Avon Turbospeed tyres, a jack and toolkit in the boot and both original ignition keys. Serviced less than 200 miles ago, it will nonetheless receive another light service prior to delivery as well and a full MoT test certificate. The Financial Times Weekend supplement recently tipped the Silver Shadow as one of the best investments you can make currently. Historics would not disagree with that august publication in this instance.
1998 Bentley Azure Widebody Symbolic Edition Transmission: automaticMileage:35000The Bentley Azure was launched in 1995 and was based on the platform of the Continental R which had been launched in 1991. The Azure intended to both convey a sense of presence and allow for comfortable seating of four adult passengers. Power came from the company's stalwart 6.75 litre, V8 featuring a single intercooled turbocharger. The gearbox was a General Motors sourced four-speed automatic unit with the Azure capable of 0-60mph in an impressive 6.1 seconds. Owing to the limited space at Bentley's Crewe factory, the Azure was designed and manufactured by Pininfarina, significantly adding to the vehicle's production cost.This unique and desirable Azure Symbolic Edition is finished in a special-order Mendip Blue (an Aston Martin colour) in deviation from the black that the other six cars were finished in with magnolia leather hide interior. A Mulliner commissioned example; this car had a number of non-standard features spanning two pages on the supplied specification details report. Sitting on 18" chrome wheels, this example also boasts the T-style console, Burr walnut veneers, the removal of side repeater flashers, flared arches, Bentley wings in the door waist rails and an uprated 420bhp engine boasting 875nm of torque to mention but a few of the non-standard features from new. The car was originally supplied to Bentley San Diego on 1st May 1998 and imported to the UK in 2018 from Florida with 13,000 miles on the odometer, where the seller informed us it had just had a $10,000 overhaul including the replacement of the hood hydraulic lines unfortunately, we do not have invoices for this within the history file. Since its arrival in the UK, the car has been cared for by Bowling-Ryan Ltd, Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists in Bolton with the most and recent service in August 2022 coupled to previous services in 2018 and 2020. Supplied with handbooks, an MoT test certificate with no advisories and valid until April 2024, the Azure is not only one of the best cars to cruise the French Riviera but it is uniquely specified and rare which increases its potential for strong collectable values in the future.
1991 Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk. II Transmission: manualMileage:124497Understood to be a UK-ordered but left hand drive example, purchased from Dovercourt Volkswagen in London, it has a rare specification in that it is a five-door car with a full leather interior, plus air conditioning, electric windows and mirrors, ABS brakes, and with no sunroof. This example has more recently been fitted with a full stainless steel Miltek exhaust, Koni coilover suspension, 16" steel wheels and an Alpine stereo. Accompanying the vehicle is a specification sheet, which is also transcribed below.The brilliant black paintwork is in good condition overall, with only minor blemishes and the interior and black leather is good, showing modest wear for its age and mileage. The vendor notes that the air conditioning needs re-gassing and the central locking system is faulty but otherwise there are no known faults. Recently treated to a fresh MoT test certificate, this GTi is offered with a history file including various booklets, the service book featuring many stamps, previous MoT test certificates, and a handful of receipts for parts from Volkswagen specialist, The Phirm and The Heritage Parts Centre covering the last few years. Offered without reserve, this Classic GTi is ready for its new custodian and is an opportunity not to be missed.
2003 Bentley Azure Performance Final Series Transmission: automaticMileage:15400The Bentley Azure was launched in 1995 and was based on the platform of the Continental R which had been launched in 1991. The Azure intended to both convey a sense of presence and allow for comfortable seating of four adult passengers. Power came from the company's stalwart 6.75 litre, V8 featuring a single intercooled turbocharger. The gearbox was a General Motors sourced four-speed automatic unit with the Azure capable of 0-60mph in an impressive 6.1 seconds. Owing to the limited space at Bentley's Crewe factory, the Azure was designed and manufactured by Pininfarina, significantly adding to the vehicle's production cost.One of the rarest of Azure developments was the 'Final Series Performance' version, only 62 examples of which were completed towards the end of production during 2002/2003. The 'FSP' was based on the Bentley Azure Mulliner, which came with an engine up-rated to produce 420bhp, suitably stiffened suspension, and various other improvements. This series was commissioned as a tribute to the cars that had marked Bentley's release from Rolls-Royce's benefaction.This Bentley Azure Performance final series is one of 62 ever produced and one of just 15 cars in right hand drive. We are led to believe the car was previously owned by Mr. Duncan, the owner/founder of the 'Henry the hoover' one of which can be found in almost every office in the UK, who owned and cherished this very special Bentley for a decade with the car wore the number plate 'H5NRY' from 2016. Presented in Peacock Blue with a cream quilted leather and French navy blue secondary leather interior and blue roof. This is a lovely low mileage car showing just 15,400 miles since its date of first registration on 27th March 2003. Offered with 17 Main dealer services at HR Owen, the car has within the last 700 miles had over £10,000 lavished on it with service and preparation for sale.General characteristics on the final edition included Bentley-branded brake calipers, a turbo boost gauge on the facia (T series layout), chromed bezels a large red starter button, diamond quilted sports seats and door inserts, a choice of dark stained walnut or black lacquer furnishings and winged Bentley motifs on the waist rails.This is an iconic and rare final series, beautifully presented and very collectable example and viewing is highly recommended.
2009 Rolls-Royce Phantom VII Extended Wheelbase Transmission: automaticMileage:25322There is little doubt that this represents the world's most luxurious car, it is the brand that leads where others follow. A journey of pure refinement and luxury cosseted, as you are, in classic Rolls-Royce burr-walnut and immaculate Connolly leather. Synonymous with historic motorsport, Goodwood is also known for one other famous motoring aspect. A cornerstone of automotive excellence in fact. Rolls-Royce have established their new factory there producing the Phantom, unrestrained luxury, flawless build quality and, needless to say, the most desirable executive automobile on the market today. The ride quality is second to none thanks to its advanced air-ride suspension and automatic self-levelling control system. In March 2005, an Extended Wheelbase Phantom was displayed at the Geneva Motor Show, it was 9.8" longer than the standard car. The Phantom EWB was, without a doubt, the new benchmark in terms of luxury and road presence, literally overshadowing the rather dull looking Maybach and making the long wheel-base variants of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW's 7-series and Audi A8 look like glorified taxis.Costing a staggering £350,000 when new and optioned to the highest specifications, this Phantom with Extended Wheelbase has covered just 25,322 miles (at time of photography) from new. It was ordered new by the property company of one of Russia's most wealthy Oligarchs and maintained without regard to cost. It resided underground at Beechwood House in Hampstead, one of London's most exclusive mansions, with the first three owners of the car all associated with the original owners property company. The list of options ordered for the car include individual rear seats, rear fridge and cocktail cabinet with dual decanters and glasses. Rear storage for crystal champagne flutes, rear fold-out foot rests, rear picnic tables with flip-up entertainment screens, extended burr-walnut to the steering wheel and drinks holder cover. The car also sits on new seven-star alloy wheels shod with four recent tyres giving the car a contemporary look. An expansive history file comes with the car detailing the services by Rolls-Royce, London with its most recent in October 2022. It comes with its original twin book-pack, both keys, valet door opener and more. The exterior shows stunning royal blue metallic paintwork with the interior unmarked seashell leather piped in dark blue with the headrests carrying the Rolls-Royce monogram and fold down vanity mirrors fitted for the rear passengers convenience. Traditional highly-figured burr walnut completes the opulent interior. Always garage-kept, the car is pristine inside and out with the story continuing with a simply immaculate under-bonnet area and gleaming V12 engine. This must be one of the highest-specification Extended Wheelbase Phantoms available. It appears new and reportedly drives like it.
2012 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé Transmission: automaticMileage:36177A historic model in the continuing history of the Rolls-Royce marque, the Phantom was the first all-new design to be introduced by the company following its takeover by BMW. Produced at a new factory near Goodwood in Sussex, the Phantom revived a great name from Rolls-Royce's past, which had always been synonymous with unrestrained luxury. In keeping with the tradition established by previous Phantoms, the newcomer was a very large motor car, outstretching the old Silver Seraph by 18 while boasting a radiator shell four inches taller. Priced at around £260,000 at time of launch, it was also 40% more expensive. While the body structure represented the ultimate in automotive technology, its accoutrements remained entirely traditional in choice of materials, consisting of the finest hide trim, genuine woollen carpets, and carefully selected wood veneers.This Phantom Coupé was originally registered by Rybrook Rolls-Royce as a demonstrator and was specified in this stunning colour combination of Metropolitan Blue with Seashell extended leather interior. The car was purchased by the vendor in 2013 and has been cherished ever since, maintained regardless of cost and presented in absolutely immaculate condition. The original specification includes the all-important starlight leather headlining, Piano black veneer, 21" fully polished alloy wheels, automatic soft close doors and boot lid, two Rolls-Royce door umbrellas, front and rear parking cameras, garage door opener, 15 speaker premium surround sound, active cruise control, sat nav, Bluetooth, ambient interior lighting, heated seats and automatic Spirit of Ecstasy. Quite simply, this car is the very height of luxury, there is nothing aside from a private jet which would be better appointed for a journey to the south of France.Further cementing just how fastidious the vendor is, the car had over £12,000 of paintwork in 2018, just to bring it up to the standard he desired, attending to any stone chips which had been picked-up over the preceding years. A further £8,205 was spent in 2021, attending to rubber seals around the windows, doors, wings, arch clips and so on, the car now must be seen to be fully appreciated. These cars are sure to go down as one of the most desirable modern Rolls-Royce's in years to come, produced in such small numbers and beginning to look even better with age, this example would be the perfect addition to any collection of significant cars.
2002 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante Transmission: automaticMileage:70270Introduced in 1993 to the public, the handsome new DB7 was styled by Ian Callum, its lines were evocative of earlier Aston Martin models and elements of the DB4/5/6 could be seen in its design. Arguably one of the most attractive looking cars ever produced by Aston Martin, the DB7 was well received and attracted new customers worldwide with its traditional layout of the curvaceous two-door coupé body. At the Geneva Motor Show in 1999, Aston Martin introduced the six litre Cosworth-designed and built V12 engine, developing 420bhp and accelerating from 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds with a top speed limited to 185mph. Ian Callum enlarged the grille, added fog lamps and restyled the valances to give the car a more aggressive look.This beautiful Aston Martin was originally registered on 22nd December 2002, the possibilities are it was a Christmas present. The Silver Birch coachwork is in great order as is the Parchment interior. The specification includes heated front screen and satellite navigation. We are advised this DB7 drives with no known faults and the Touchtronic gearbox operates as it should. A significant service history accompanies this Aston Martin confirming it has clearly been a very well looked after car. Supplied with a V5C registration document, a current MoT test certificate valid until 27th June 2024 and the original service books, this is certainly one of the prettiest Aston Martin DB7 Volantes we have seen for a while.
2011 Range Rover Vogue SE Believed To Be Ex-Royal Fleet Transmission: automaticMileage:123654There can be few cars that are as well-known and iconic as the mighty Range Rover. Launched in 1970 and built in the UK, this leader in the 4x4 field is now on its fifth incarnation. Enjoyed by Royalty and celebrities alike, the Range Rover is both aspirational and practical. The car has been described as 'the best 4x4 by far' and has been the winner of numerous awards.This example began its life in 2011 as a part of the Royal fleet, being supplied and serviced early on by the Vehicle Operations department at Gaydon and having some warranty work carried out by Land Rover Aberdeen "“ close to Balmoral. This example is fitted with the rear extra grab handles, something the late HM Queen Elizabeth II would always specify, to aid her getting in and out of Range Rovers. It was also without a parcel shelf when our vendor purchased the car, a dog guard was fitted instead, again something which would always be specified. Glass sunroof, retractable side steps and mudflaps are also fitted. To add to the rear comfort even further, this example was specified with heated and air-conditioned electric rear seating. Ordered of course in Galway Green with Sand leather interior, this 4.4 litre V8 example boasts air suspension, and the car is currently with its fifth owner with none of the previous aware of what could have been such illustrious beginnings.Upon requesting details from the DVLA, the vendor has been refused any previous keeper's details, the same situation arose when details of the specific modifications were requested from Land Rover, they did not wish to speak about the car. The gallery shows an image of the late HM Queen Elizabeth II on a visit to a university, though it is hard to make out which one it is from the slightly grainy photo. The photo shows the Range Rover behind the late HM Queen Elizabeth II with the rear door about to be shut and the Queen appears to be walking away from the vehicle, giving a very strong chance of it being the one she travelled in for the visit. The earlier mentioned grab handles on the inner rear B pillars are believed to be unique to the late HM Queen Elizabeth II's Range Rovers, due to her insistence of no assistance from staff when entering and exiting the car thus the handles along with the side steps enabled comfortable entry for a lady who would have been in her mid 80's at the time.The car now is in very good order. Having covered less than 124,000 miles from new, the service history is comprehensive, listed below.12/03/2013 @ 3738 miles - Vehicle Operations Gaydon28/02/2014 @ 19,339 miles - Pentland Land Rover Perth 24/11/2014 @ 36,370 miles - Pentland Land Rover Perth 23/11/2015 @ 53,004 miles - Pentland Land Rover Perth 15/06/2016 @ 69,324 miles - Gordon Lamb Land Rover Chesterfield 11/09/2017 @ 78,979 miles - Grange Land Rover Swindon 16/09/2019 @ 110,280 miles - Morgan Cars NI 13/01/2022 @ 119,125 miles - Marshall and Son Ltd26/04/2023 @ 123,151 miles "“ Marrion 4x4Guide Price: £25,000 - £35,000
1999 Maserati Quattroporte IV Evoluzione (3.2 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:23342Maserati launched its first Quattroporte back in 1963 and has continued to make a version of this luxury four-door sports saloon ever since. The fourth-generation model came out in 1994 and was the first Maserati to be produced under new owners Fiat, who had bought this illustrious Italian marque from Alejandro de Tomaso in 1993. An evolution of the Biturbo platform, the Quattroporte IV was styled by Marcello Gandini (of Lamborghini Miura and Countach fame) and featured his signature slashed rear wheel arch design which had first been seen on the Countach and later on the Maserati Shamal. Initially powered by the 280bhp twin-turbo 24-valve 2.8 V6 from the Ghibli, the Quattroporte IV got the flagship Shamal engine in 1996, a 336bhp twin-turbo 3.2 V8 which gave it blistering performance, 0-60 in 5.8 seconds and a top speed of 168mph. A Getrag six-speed manual gearbox came as standard, but a more town-friendly ZF four-speed automatic was also available as an option.This excellent, rare right hand drive, 1999 Maserati Quattroporte IV has only covered 23,400 miles from new which is supported by comprehensive service history. Supplied new by Meridien Maserati in the New Forest, Hampshire to Mr. J Peters of St. Peters Port, Guernsey. In his ownership the car was looked after by Meridien Modena and Doyle Motors Guernsey. In 2015, the car was sold to Dr. D Mitchell and imported into the UK, for the three years that he kept the car it was maintained by Autoshield Maserati, Manchester. The next change of keeper came in 2017/18 when passed to Mr. P Winfield whose preferred repairer was McGrath Maserati. The last recorded service with the cambelts changed was with Autoshield at 23,176 miles in November 2021, this was done for the current owner who purchased the car in June 2021. Since that service the car has covered less than 200 miles. Finished in Netuno Blue metallic with Ivory leather interior, this excellent Maserati Quattroporte IV is supplied with an MoT test certificate which expires in August 2024, the handbook pack which contains the service record book and a file containing invoices from 2015 to the last service. The Quattroporte IV Evoluzione is regarded as the best Quattroporte produced as this was after Maserati was taken over by Ferrari.
2003 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:102000The fifth generation SL was in production between 2002 and 2008 and featured the all-new retractable hardtop - an important feature for the British weather. Mercedes-Benz followers were impressed with the stability of the car with the hardtop in place and the ease at which they could remove it. Such was its success; the SL is still one of the leading cars in the Mercedes-Benz range. This generation of car features the very capable 5.0 litre 302bhp V8 powerplant mated to a standard auto gearbox. The R230 also features the ABC (active body control) which offers the balance of comfort and handling. The complex system uses accumulators and hydraulic fluids to regulate the firmness and heights of the suspension. This sleek looking Mercedes shows only four previous keepers and has been in the vendors possession since 2017. The high level of specification for this popular model includes, cruise control, Xenon headlights, front and rear parking sensors, the COMAND media system with satellite navigation, dual-zone air conditioning, switchable sport mode, an electrically operated suspension lift system, cruise control, and electrically adjustable heated seats with three-position memory. Options added when new also include Bose sound system, telephone pre-wiring and hand-free, Linguatronic a heated multi-function steering wheel, garage door opener and Burr walnut trim. The car presents well in the classic colour combination for this model of Teal blue with a black leather interior. The cars accompanying file contains original handbooks, various bills, receipts and previous MoT test certificates and a service book showing 13 stamps. The last service was completed in February 2023 at 101,125. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and a MoT test certificate until February 2024 with no advisories, this impressive Mercedes is offered at a fraction of the £69,000 paid when new.Interested parties should note that this car arrived with a fault with the ABS/ESP which appears to be linked to the battery. A brand-new battery has been fitted to the car, but we have not managed to find the fault and rectify the issue. At this stage, it is advised that the car will need to be trailered from site and will need a specialist to diagnose and rectify the problem believed to be relating to the power supply.
2000 Mercedes-Benz SL320 Transmission: automaticMileage:63042Unveiled at the March 1989 Geneva Motor Show, the new Mercedes-Benz R129 Series SL range was beautifully engineered. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell, its sophisticated, all-round independent suspension (double-wishbone front/five-link rear) was augmented by a host of active and passive safety features including electronic stability control, ventilated ABS disc brakes, adaptive-damping shock absorbers, front airbags and an integral rollover bar that deployed in less than a third of a second if the car ever sensed an impending flip. Suitably cosseting, the convertible's impeccably built cabin consisted of a fully automated power hood and featured such advancements as memory seats, electric windows and mirrors and an adjustable steering column. Yet lurking beneath all the luxury and refinement was a performance orientated sports car.This lovely example of this popular and final R129 model is presented in silver with a black leather interior. The car comes with its Japanese Mileage Guarantee Certificate verifying its mileage as correct. These, last of the line, V6 engined SL's are extremely popular models today and this particular SL320 represents great value for money considering its original capital cost. The car is supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 8th May 2024 together with the original handbooks.
1995 Aston Martin DB7 Transmission: manualMileage:87699Introduced in 1993 to the public, the handsome new DB7 was Aston Martin's first six-cylinder model since production of the DBS had finished in 1971. Styled by Ian Callum, its lines were evocative of earlier Aston Martin models and elements of the DB4/5/6 could be seen. Arguably one of the most attractive looking cars ever produced by Aston Martin, the DB7 was well received and attracted new customers worldwide with its traditional layout of the curvaceous two door coupé body and robust six-cylinder engine. Regarded by many as the purist modern Aston Martin, the DB7 will undoubtedly be a collectable car for years to come and is equally at home in the city or out on the open road.This lovely and extremely rare example is presented in metallic grey with a grey leather interior and contrasting dark grey piping. The car comes with electric windows, electric seats, air conditioning and a comprehensive service history with 20 stamps in the service book and the present owner has had a service carried out with an Aston specialist costing £2,200 and the car has covered a mere 200 miles since. This is the rare manual gearbox example of which only 257 were made. In superb condition throughout and with a valid MoT test certificate until July 2024, this must be one of the best of this model available today.
1988 Austin Mini 1000 Transmission: automaticMileage:33320The Mini was made by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered a British icon of the 1960s; with its space-saving, front-wheel drive layout, allowing 80% of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage. This influenced a generation of car makers, and in 1999, the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century, behind the Ford Model T. This distinctive, two-door car was designed by Sir Alec Issigonis, and was manufactured at the Longbridge and Cowley plants. The Mini Mk. I had three major UK updates; the Mk. II, the Clubman and the Mk. III. Within these were a series of variations, including an estate car, a pick-up and a van. The Mini Cooper and Cooper 'S' were sportier versions, and made successful racing cars, winning the Monte Carlo Rally four times from 1964 through to 1967. Initially, Minis were marketed under the Austin and Morris names; as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini Minor, until Mini became a marque in its own right in 1969.This remarkably well kept Mini 1000 City automatic has been well cared for throughout its life, covering only 33,320 miles from new. Our vendor, Mr. Warner purchased this example in November 1989 which was under a year after the first owner, a Mrs Smith, had purchased new from the Austin dealership. The interior trim and headlining are in very good order and the Russet Brown paintwork is certainly a credit to the car. Accompanying this vehicle is an impressive history file, including every MoT test certificate from new, as well as a wealth of servicing and repair bills. Original handbooks and owner's manual can also be found along with a V5C registration document and MoT test certificate valid until January 2024. Having been garaged and well looked after by our vendor for some 34 years, this is a collector's example with a history to support its place as a true classic Mini.Guide Price £7,000-£10,000
1982 Lancia Montecarlo Transmission: manualMileage:52225The Lancia Beta Montecarlo is a mid-engined sports car which was produced from 1975 through to 1982. Cars from 1975 to 1978 were known as a Lancia Beta Montecarlo and the latter cars produced from 1979 to 1982, were simply known as Lancia Montecarlo. Both series were offered in coupé and spider versions and were constructed by Pininfarina. The total production amounted to 3,835 first series Beta Montecarlo's and 1,940 second series, of which only 172 cars were right hand drive coupés.This particular example presents in largely original condition. The vendor had the aim to sympathetically refresh the car, retaining as much of the original paint as possible. The car had some repairs to the sills and outer door skins earlier in its life but on the whole, our vendor was so impressed with the condition of the car when he saw it, he decided to buy it. The interior presents in fantastic condition, showing it has clearly been in the hands of enthusiasts for its whole 41 years and 52,000 miles.Our vendor has spent a reasonable amount of money on the car whilst in his ownership, the largest invoice coming from Freelance Motors in Devon in 2018. The work carried out came to a total cost of £1,945.48, for work consisting of a Guy Croft racing exhaust, which gives a lovely tone without being too shouty. Other work included a wheel alignment, big end shells, sump replacement, front and rear springs, suspension poly-bushing, front shock absorber, a thorough service and various gaskets and mountings. The car has also been cared for by Darren Cooksey, who is hugely knowledgeable on Lancia Montecarlo's. He did a timing belt change, fuel pump change and recent carburettor rebuild, along with various other small jobs. This Montecarlo is an excellent example, which our vendor has enjoyed using regularly in the summer months and sometimes even uses it to commute to work. He reports the car is always a joy to drive.Guide price: £10,000-£15,000
