PLEASE NOTE: We apologise but the estimate for this vehicle appeared incorrectly in the printed catalogue and should have read £35,000 - 45,000. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has developed an oil leak, which should be investigated before driving on the road. - Rare and desirable 'Suffix A' Range Rover - One of 2,844 Home Market RHD cars built during the 1971 production year - Restoration just completed by model specialist Kingsley Cars There was always scope for the production of a sibling that combined the no-nonsense Land Rover's off-road prowess with a greater degree of on-road chic and comfort. Though various plans were mooted in the 1950s, it was the emergence of the American SUV a decade later that finally convinced Rover to create such a model. Spen King famously oversaw the '100 inch Station Wagon' project that was finally revealed as the Range Rover in 1970. Far from competing with the likes of the Ford Bronco that had inspired its creation, the David Bache-penned newcomer created a whole new genre of go-anywhere vehicles. The Range Rover was based around a box section chassis and steel 'safety frame' onto which the lightweight outer panels were bolted. Power came from the ubiquitous Rover V8 - initially in 3.5-litre guise. This was connected to a permanent four-wheel drive system for optimum traction - a transfer box offered a full set of high and low gear ratios. Suspension was by long travel coil springs all round and braking was by discs front and rear. This delightful Range Rover Two-Door with rare and desirable 'Suffix A' chassis plate was one of just 2,844 right-hand drive home market examples built in the 1971 model year. Acquired by the vendor in the summer of 2015 it commenced a thorough restoration later that year by Range Rover specialist restorers Kingsley Cars. As can be seen in the photographs the body and axles were removed from the chassis and the car is described by the vendor as having a perfect shell with zero rust having had all the corrosion cut, followed by a panel-off re-paint. Other significant works included a top-end refresh of the engine and a restored/new Palomino PVC interior. Finished in the wonderful Tuscan blue colour this exceptional 2-door Range Rover should be paid close attention by enthusiasts of the model. The restoration was being completed as the catalogue went to press and we hope to have photographs of the finished vehicle on our website before the sale.

- A genuine AC Ace that had an original Cobra body fitted in 1966 - Owned by the vendor in 1964, 1966, and again since 2010 with a well-documented history - Over £30,000 of recommissioning works by a Bristol specialist in 2000/2001 A notably late, home market AC Ace Bristol, chassis BE1199 has a well-documented history. The information below is condensed from a wonderful three-page letter that the vendor wrote to The AC Car Club in 2010, plus the Club's archive records and those of the AC Ace Register. Dispatched from the Thames Ditton factory on January 11th 1962 and initially finished in Svecia Red with Black interior trim and a hard top, chassis BE1199 was first owned by a Dr Robert Page-Blair of Cadogan Gardens, London who had it registered with his personal number plate 'RPB 880'. Re-liveried Blue by 1964 when then owner Lynton Moss Esq. was involved in a minor accident whilst driving through Ruislip, Middlesex, the AC first entered the vendor's custody that same year for the princely sum of £105. AC Cars refused to sell him the required driver's side wing and door to repair the car, so he approached their supplier and bought the panels direct (along with two new and complete AC Cobra bodies which he found irresistible). Chassis BE1199 was repaired and painted metallic Regal Red and it is believed the next owner was a Mr Jenkins of Chelsea, London. The Ace was involved in another minor accident during early 1966 which resulted in the vendor reacquiring it. Based in a Lexham Mews garage at the time, he chose to fit one of the Cobra bodies rather than refurbish the lightly damaged original. Painted White and by now re-registered as 'JA 131', the vendor recalls selling the AC to a local photographer named Sean Woodnutt. Although, the AC Car Club's records show the car as having been owned by a Mr Gathercole of Lambeth in 1967. Possibly Mr Woodnutt sold it to Mr Gathercole. During the late 1960's Mr Gathercole reportedly blew a piston and rather than repair the engine he fitted a Ford V6 unit. Over twenty years later in 1989, the car passed through the hands of a succession of well-known dealers and collectors and ended up having another Bristol 100D2 engine fitted, and then in late 1991 it was painted green. Stated as then having a Swiss owner in 1992 and a German (Hamburg) owner in 1998, the car was subsequently owned in 2000 by a Mr Lee from Hong Kong who appears to have kept the car in England. Between October 2000 and July 2001, Mr Lee spent over £30,000 on 'JA 131' with a well-known Bristol specialist having the car thoroughly recommissioned, including a refresh of the engine cylinder head and gearbox. The current V5C states that the AC was acquired by a Lincoln-based gentleman in 2006 and it is understood that he fitted some replacement wheels to sharpen the car's handling and retained its 'OY 8365' number plate. Purchased by the vendor for the third time in August 2010, he has now decided to part company with it once more. The generously sized history folder contains many notes and letters from the above mentioned owners' clubs and a quantity of expired MOT certificates. Supplied with a hard top, this rather special car is described by the vendor as having a 'good' interior and paintwork with a 'very good' body, engine, and gearbox, adding that it 'drives very well'. A beautiful motor car with an exciting and documented history.

- 1 of just 270 3-litres made At its announcement in 1953, Lagonda's new 3 Litre model was only available in two-door Convertible and Saloon guise, but a four-door Saloon similar to that of the previous 2.6 Litre followed the following year; as did a MKII specification that included floor-mounted gearchange. Production of the convertible ceased in 1957 and that of the Saloon in 1958, by which time just 270 3-litres had been made. The 1957 3-litre Saloon now offered from a deceased estate has remained dry stored and unused for over 20 years, and was in the care of its most recent keeper for no less than 56 years. First registered in Croydon and finished in Black with Blue hide trim, the Lagonda is understandably now in need of a degree of recommissioning before it takes to the road once more. It comes complete with V5C, original owners' handbook and buff log book, and currently displays an unwarranted 36,100 miles.

- Built at San Jose on 30th November 1967 and supplied new via Holiday Ford of Sunnyvale, California - Genuine 'S' Code car with 390 cu in 4V V8 engine - Restored to concours standard in its original livery - Power disc brakes, power steering, rear sport deck, automatic transmission XPL Type, heavy duty suspension Faced with increasing competition from the likes of the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Charger, Ford opted to comprehensively re-style its class-leading Mustang for the 1967-model year. Sporting a jutting grille, concave rear panel and widened sheetmetal, the newcomer was not only more visually imposing than its predecessor but also able to accommodate larger engines. Notable as the first Mustang to be fitted with a 'big block' V8, the 390 'S' code could be had in Notchback, Convertible or Fastback guises. The best-looking variant, the latter was deemed suitable transport for Lieutenant Frank Bullitt in the iconic film of the same name. Needless to say numerous '67 and '68 Fastbacks have since been repainted Highland Green so as to ape the 'king of cool' Steve McQueen's most famous movie mount (some even began life as authentically-powered 390 'S' code cars). According to a letter on file from the Ford Motor Company not to mention a Marti Auto Works DeLuxe Report, this particular example - chassis 8R02S105660 - was ordered for stock by the Holiday Ford dealership of Sunnyvale, California on August 24th 1967. Actually built on November 30th 1967, some seventy-seven days behind schedule, it was 1 of just 1,075 1968-model year Fastbacks to be finished in Sunlit Gold with Nugget Gold upholstery - a combination with plenty of 'pop' in the California sunshine. As well as the all-important 'S' code 390 cu in (6.4 litre) eight-cylinder 4V engine rated at 325hp, its impressive build specification included: C-6 Select Shift Cruise-O-Matic transmission, Heavy Duty Suspension, Power Steering, Sport Deck Rear Seat, Tinted Glass, Deluxe Belts, F70x14 Wide Oval tyres, Remote Control Left Hand Mirror, White Sidewall Nylon Tyres, Deluxe Wheel Covers and Power Disc Brakes etc. Formerly the property of Jeff Taylor, the founder of Monster.com, chassis 8R02S105660 was extensively restored for him by Tango Classic Autos of Bellingham, MA (which he also owned) during the early / mid-2000s. Perhaps the most telling invoice with regard to the lengths gone to during the rejuvenation is one for a 'National Judging Rule Book 64.5 to 73'. Tango Classic Autos morphed into Cape Cod Mustang following its acquisition by Bret Matteson in 2007 but the re-branded firm's website still contains mention of the Fastback: 'This 390 '68 Mustang has been totally restored to "concours trailered". It is a factory Non-GT "S" Code 390 Mustang that has had a no expense total restoration. The 390 engine as well as the total drivetrain has been rebuilt including the C-6 transmission and third member. This solid San Francisco Fastback was disassembled and the body has been restored ground up. Red primer, over spray and correct engine compartment details were added to this restoration. Many N.O.S. parts were used throughout the automobile and the engine compartment was finished with many rebuilt 390 parts including the hard to find smog system. This is a totally restored 1968 Mustang with the very popular 390 engine. Beautifully restored, it is ready to be shown'. Sparingly used since entering the current ownership during 2012, the Ford is believed to have covered just 700 or so post-refurbishment miles. Quite possibly the most impressive Mustang restoration that we have yet encountered, 'FMA 184F' remains highly presentable and boasts a wealth of correct detailing even down to its door tag rivets, engine bay / boot stickers, seatbelt labels and exhaust system markings. Worthy of very close inspection, this 'California Dreamin' 390 'S' Code Fastback is accompanied by a V5C Registration Document, MOT certificate valid until June 23rd 2016, handbook and history file.

- Family owned for over 35 years - 80% restored, engine running, body sound - USA car, complete with comprehensive collection of parts Rolls-Royce of America Inc was established to bypass the swingeing import duty that had hitherto restricted its parent company's transatlantic sales. Operating from factory premises in Springfield, Massachusetts, the new concern initially built carbon copies of the famous 40/50hp model. However, as time progressed so its product became more attuned to the US market. The beautifully wrought ladder frame chassis and enviably smooth 7428cc straight-six engine were little altered but later cars featured a three-speed, centre gearchange manual transmission and left-hand drive (interestingly just 600 or so of the 1,703 Springfield Silver Ghosts completed were to LHD specification). Designed to woo existing Packard, Cadillac and Pierce Arrow customers who had little truck with the idea of a chassis only purchase, a catalogued range of Rolls-Royce Custom Coachwork was soon made available. The various designs were given British names and subcontracted to the likes of Amesbury, Biddle & Smart, Holbrook, Locke, Merrimac, New Haven, Smith-Springfield and Willoughby. Visually distinguished by its rakish windscreen, just twenty-five examples of the undeniably handsome six-light Berwick Sedan are thought to have been made. Rumoured to have previously belonged to an American peanut farmer, chassis S298PK was purchased by the vendor from Steve Lovatt of renowned marque specialist Ristes Motors during the late 1980s. Treated to a meticulous `body off, chassis up' restoration thereafter, much of the work was carried out by the vendor's son (an ex-Ristes' employee). Albeit, his former mentor was called upon to fully overhaul the engine (number 21984). Unfortunately, the refurbishment has yet to be completed and while considerable attention has self-evidently been paid to the body frame, paintwork, dashboard, wood veneer door cappings and running gear etc, the seat frames need re-upholstering and sundry other jobs completing. Recently returned to running order by Ristes, this rare left-hand drive Springfield Ghost cries out to be finished.

- Very rare 1933 model-year only tourer with period competition history - First owned by the vendor in the 1960's and reacquired in 1991 - Restored from the chassis up at he cost of over £100,000 Arguably the handsomest Riley 9 derivative, the two-door Lynx Tourer was only current for the 1933 season. Sporting half the door count of its successor not to mention an elegant 'disappearing hood', the short-lived model was notably rakish and low-slung. Powered by a 'sports' version of the Coventry marque's advanced 'twin-cam' four-cylinder 1087cc engine mated to four-speed manual transmission, the four-seater enjoyed a level of performance that belied its 9hp tax rating. Based around a ladder-frame chassis equipped with all round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and bias-adjustable drum brakes, the Riley was known for its crisp handling too. Built to special order complete with a bespoke dashboard, chassis 6021101 was collected from the factory by first owner Herbert Way Esq. A solicitor by profession, Mr Way was also a keen motorist and participated in several of the Riley Motor Club's 24-hour Rally and Reliability Trials (badges for which adorn the front of 'RV 3333'). An accompanying period photo of the Lynx in action shows some minor damage to the offside running board and one hypothesis is that safety concerns may have prompted Mr Way to commission the 'straight top' doors and pillar-mounted spotlight which it retains to this day. Remaining with its first keeper until 1956, the Riley was taken off the road and laid-up in a barn some eight years later. In between times the two-door Lynx briefly belonged to the vendor - then an art student - who ran it for a memorable summer before his father intervened. Advertised for sale in Motor Sport magazine by Andrew Booth of Orchid Cars, 'RV 3333' re-entered the current ownership during 1991 for the princely sum of £10,500. A long overdue 'ground up' restoration was begun later that decade. Renowned marque specialist Blue Diamond was entrusted with refurbishing the chassis, gearbox, front / rear axles, steering, brakes and suspension, while Hamlins Engineering of Bridgwater overhauled the original powerplant with Sprite camshafts and Brooklands inlet / exhaust manifolds etc John Foy Ltd of Royston was tasked with renovating the ash frame and repairing / renewing the alloy bodywork as well as re-trimming, re-wiring, re-painting and generally finishing the car. The project stalled when the vendor's wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer but recommenced during 2012 and was completed in time for his 70th birthday celebrations last January. Used on an often daily basis since then, the Riley has covered some 4,500 post-rejuvenation miles. Refinished in its original Maroon livery and having had over £100,000 lavished on it (aside from the cost of re-acquisition), 'RV 3333' is considered by the vendor to 'surely be the best Lynx in the world'. Thanks to the efforts of Mr Way's nephew, the Riley's history file not only contains a plethora of restoration invoices but also numerous period photos and even his uncle's 1933 RAC badge.

- Built to the special order of HRH, Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh - 1 of just 20 MK1 examples made but fitted with a power hood and floor-change gearbox (modifications that were standardised on the MK2) not to mention a pioneering radio telephone and extra vanity mirror for HM, The Queen - Bespoke Edinburgh Green livery, original Grey leather upholstery and current (third private) ownership since 1977 Faced with the need for a full four-seater so that he could transport members of his family as well as any attendant security detail but wanting something sporting, exclusive and British, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh opted for a Lagonda 3 Litre Drophead Coupe. An avid motorist who as Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten had held the unofficial record among his fellow naval officers for the 98-mile run from Bath to London, he doubtless approved of the Lagonda's all-round independent suspension, rack and pinion steering, full-synchromesh gearbox, svelte Frank Feeley styling and race proven DOHC straight-six engine. Capable of over 100mph and one of just 20 MKI examples made, the Duke's car boasted a number of personalised features including its Edinburgh Green livery, hydraulically-operated hood, bespoke dashboard / door cappings (covered in Dark Green leather) and radio telephone. The latter allowed him to speak directly to Buckingham Palace via a unique Admiralty frequency and Pye relay station up on the Hampstead hills. A technology buff, HRH obviously enjoyed his new 'toy' as the Daily Sketch told its readers: 'The Duke takes a keen delight in making surprise calls to the Queen . . . Sometimes he disguises his voice when speaking to Charles and Anne'. Very much a personal car, the 3 Litre Drophead Coupe was used by HRH to go to polo matches at Cowdray Park, drop Prince Charles off at Cheam prep school, commute between Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle and most likely attend meetings of the Thursday Club (a private dining club which met at Wheeler's restaurant in Soho and whose fellow members comprised Baron Nahum, David Niven, Peter Ustinov, Francis Bacon and Lucien Freud amongst others). The Lagonda also undertook its fair share of official duties (hence the pennant mount in its nearside front wing) with trips as far apart as Aberdeen, Scotland and Melbourne, Australia. Taken to the Antipodes as part of the Duke of Edinburgh's 1956-1957 Tour of the Commonwealth, the 3 Litre Drophead Coupe was piloted by both HRH and his chauffeur Walter Bennett during the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. An unintentional overshoot on one occasion prompting The Herald newspaper to run the knowing headline: 'Duke goes too far . . . and finds himself one of the crowd'. Interestingly, the four-seater's arrival Down Under had been presaged by an article entitled 'It's on way here - Glamour Car for Duke' which referred to it as his 'favourite' and noted: 'An enthusiastic motorist, the sporting Duke is bringing out an equally sporting car which was specially handbuilt'. Indeed, the Lagonda was allocated its own '101' number plate and pennant for the Olympics (both of which the vendor has procured but is minded to hang on to for sentimental reasons). According to its accompanying copy Build Sheet and Service Records (the former recording HRH, The Duke of Edinburgh as the purchaser), chassis LB/290/31 was treated to sometimes weekly maintenance by the factory with engineers being dispatched to the Royal Mews and Windsor Castle. As well as tailoring the pedals to the Duke's preferences, converting the gearchange to a centre floor shift and installing the radio telephone, the records note the fitting of an additional mirror to the nearside. This mirror is rumoured to have been used by HM The Queen to adjust her hats and remains in situ today (whereas the radio telephone was removed when the Duke sold the car presumably to prevent any unwanted calls to the Palace). Keen that the 3 Litre Drophead Coupe should (a) never fail to proceed and (b) look its best in public its manufacturer was only too eager to remedy any cosmetic blemishes or mechanical maladies. Already familiar with the four-seater, Aston Martin Lagonda dispatched its chief service engineer Tony Tocock to look after the four-seater for the duration of its Australian sojourn, while Dunlop wrote to the Royal Mews to assure them that its Antipodean stockists would all carry a set of correct tyres for the car. Aston Martin Lagonda were subsequently granted a Royal Warrant of Appointment to HRH, The Duke of Edinburgh, while his example inspired purchases from the likes of King Baudouin of Belgium, King Hussein of Jordan and Prince Bertil of Sweden. Employed by Prince Philip for numerous domestic engagements such as giving talks to the Automobile Association (of which he was President), lectures at various universities and even to open the unrestricted M1 motorway in 1959, taking the wheel of the Lagonda also allowed him to interact with the public in a less formal manner. For instance in 'The Aylesbury Duck' by James Goodwin the author, a traffic policeman, recalls how: 'On one occasion I noticed that the constables from Hyde Park Station were busy just inside the gates of the park . . . I held up my right arm and stopped the Park Lane traffic. When it had stopped I then turned ninety degrees to see to the stationary traffic, only to realise that the green Lagonda I had been holding up for all of three minutes contained people that I immediately recognised; Her Majesty The Queen sitting next to HRH Prince Philip, who was driving the car with its roof down. They were on their way from Windsor to Buckingham Castle and they were both laughing so I don't think they were too displeased. Their presence made me understand all the activity in the park!' Similarly, Tim Heald's book 'The Duke: Portrait of Prince Philip' contains the following Lagonda-related anecdote: 'The popular image of the Duke of Edinburgh is one of almost unrelieved tough masculinity yet time and again, as I met those who knew him, I would be told stories about his kindness and concern. As a young equerry back in the 1950s, John Severne misread the day's schedule and let through a typing error which made nonsense of the timings. Early that morning the Duke's voice came blasting down the intercom. 'How on earth do you suppose we're going to get from the Palace to Herstmonceux in an hour?' 'I . . . er . . . oh . . . sorry, sir'. 'Quick get my car out. And warn the Royal Observatory that we're going to be late'. 'Yes sir'The Duke took the wheel of his Lagonda and drove fast to Sussex. He likes to drive fast as everyone who has ever been driven by him will testify, but despite a speedy journey they were still behind schedule when they finally arrived. As they got out and approached the waiting reception line the Duke half turned to his shamefaced equerry and said 'If anyone asks why we're late, tell them it's my fault'. Concerns about HRH's heavy right foot prompted Walter Bennett to tell journalists that while his employer liked to 'step on it', he was no 'speed merchant'. Nevertheless after some seven years and 35,000 miles of service, the Duke chose to replace the Lagonda with an Alvis TD21 Drophead Coupe. News of the change prompted Mr Alfred Rogers of Newmarket to write to the Palace asking if he could purchase the 3 Litre Drophead Coupe. Shying away from the prospect of a direct sale, James Orr - Prince Philip's then private secretary - sent a couple of elusive replies... Click here for the full description.

- LHD matching numbers example with just 38,000 miles recorded - One previous owner, purchased by the vendor from an estate dispersal sale - Bare metal respray approximately three years ago otherwise extremely original - Rare hubcaps on steel wheels - Red seats with red headlining and door trims The iconic Datsun 240Z would not have made it into production without the enthusiastic support of Yutaka Katayama (then president of Nissan USA). A small team headed by Yoshihiko Matsuo created the car, and whilst hugely popular in America, sales were hampered on the other side of The Pond by a high purchase price and residual anti-Japanese sentiment. But any Z represents a huge leap forward over established classics such as the MGB and TR6, and in truth, the Datsun is the spiritual successor to the Austin-Healey 3000, which went out of production a year before the Datsun came onto the market in 1969. The design team even went so far as to think about how long-distance transportation to North America would affect the cars' cosmetic condition, and rust-proofed accordingly; by contrast imported British sportscars sometimes arrived on the dockside with visible corrosion. The Mercedes-Benz-inspired single overhead-cam 2393cc straight-six (L24) motor was a revelation in drivability, and would scream to its 6,500rpm redline. Hitachi copies of SU side-draught carburettors were utilised, but modified to improve fuel delivery and power giving 0-60mph in 8.3 seconds and a top speed of around 125mph. Delivered new to the USA and resident in Washington State, this LHD matching numbers example has had just one previous owner and registers just c.38,000 miles on its odometer. Purchased by the vendor from an estate dispersal sale, it was treated to a bare metal respray approximately three years ago but otherwise remains extremely original. Finished in silver with red seats, red headlining and door trims, the car is fitted with extremely rare hubcaps on steel wheels. Accompanied by a Swansea V5 document it is described as "running beautifully" and will be offered with a fresh MoT.

- Believed one of only 16 UK supplied RHD Club Sports and featuring the original sales invoice for £131,710 - An extraordinary number of factory and dealer fitted extras including carbon pack, bucket seats, and special colour - Only one owner form new and just 55,000 recorded miles with a very comprehensive maintenance record When Porsche launched the 996 version of their 911 GT2 in 2000, the car swiftly gained iconic status as one of the most focused and fastest Porsche production cars ever manufactured. With the reported 462bhp produced from its twin turbo flat six engine being transferred to the road through the rear wheels only (the Turbo model had four wheel drive), performance was electrifying with 60mph being achieved from rest in just under 4 seconds and a top speed of about 198mph. The comprehensive history file on this rather special GT2 Club Sport contains both the handwritten order form and the sales invoice form AFN Porsche on London's Park Lane. They state that the options chosen when new were special paint, carbon package, leather console, carbon rear console, leather sport steering wheel and leather steering column casing, front floor mats, leather interior light, carbon door entrance panels, aluminium dials, carbon gearshift and handbrake, top-tint windscreen, centre console, Becker radio/CD, Club Sport package, leather bucket seats, coloured wheel centres, passenger six-point harness, and security glass covering. The total of the two-page invoice was a generous £131,710. The purchaser resided in Bayswater, West London, and was very much a Porsche enthusiast who raced a modern 911, but despite having his own workshop to maintain his racing car, he entrusted the supplying dealer's Reading workshops to maintain the car for the first four annual services, and Porsche Hatfield for the 2006 and 2007 services. Thereafter he had the car maintained in his own workshop and transferred the registration into the name of his racing team in March 2013. As well as the aforementioned invoices, the history file also contains many maintenance invoices, many expired MOT certificates, and the hand book pack. With only a reported 129 GT2 models imported by Porsche into the UK when new of which apparently only 16 were to Club Sport specification, this one owner car has a super provenance and is described by the vendor as being excellent in all respects. It is sure to attract the interest of Porsche collectors.

- Arthur Daley's famous 1981 Daimler Sovereign from the hit TV series Minder - The car George Cole wanted to buy himself, and came close to doing so before it was given away in a TV Times competition - Used in series 4,5,6 and the Christmas Special 'Minder on the Orient Express' - Recent mechanical overhaul to the brakes, suspension, bushes, ball joints, and servicing at the cost of £4,000 - Recent bodywork restoration with glass out repaint in its original livery of Portland Beige, interior refresh and new steering rack at the cost of £4,500 - Extensive service history, original handbooks, service book and original tool kit - 43,990 recorded miles and offered with an advisory free MOT into March 2017 This lovely-looking 4.2-litre-engined Series III Daimler Sovereign will be immediately familiar to the many fans of the '80s comedy-drama TV series Minder, and would no doubt nowadays be referred by its star, the roguish car dealer and entrepreneur Arthur Daley, as 'a nice little earner'. The Daimler's accompanying Heritage Certificate confirms that 'VDU 343X' (it carried the fake registration 'DYO 979V' for the camera) was manufactured on July 7, 1981 and finished in its still current livery of Portland Beige and Burnt Umber interior trim. First registered to Jaguar Cars, it was assigned to Euston Films and featured prominently as Daley's 'wheels' in Series 4, 5 and 6 of their massively popular show, as well as the Christmas specials 'Minder Around The Corner and 'Minder On The Orient Express'. Daley was brilliantly played by the late George Cole, who reputedly became so enamoured of the Daimler that he attempted to purchase it from Jaguar Cars for his own use, and was on the point of doing so when it was decided to offer the car as a prize in a TV Times competition - a copy of the magazine cover with Cole enticingly dangling the vehicle's original keys is included in its history file. The final iteration of the XJ6/XJ12/Sovereign range was the Series III model introduced in 1979. It was based on what had been the long wheelbase version of the earlier cars which was then treated to a subtle makeover by Pininfarina, providing what was now an 11-year-old design with a more contemporary look. The resulting changes included an increased glass area, narrower door frames, slimmer radiator grille, and more substantial rubber-faced bumpers. There were three engine options - the ubiquitous straight-six XK unit in either 3.4 or 4.2-litre guise and the V12 one of 5.3-litres. Though production of the V12-engined cars continued until 1992, that of the six-cylinder ones was phased out following the launch of their long overdue replacement, the XJ40 range, in 1986. Of the 318,000 XJ6, XJ12 and Sovereigns built, no less than 132,952 were Series III models. This Daimler's vendor has recently invested heavily in his historic car. For example, £4,500 was spent with Miles Classic of Huddersfield on bodywork restoration that included a glass out repaint in the original colour and a refresh of the interior, while a further £4,000 was paid to marque specialist XJK of Newcastle-under-Lyme for attention to the brakes and suspension etc - during all of which such major items as the automatic gearbox and steering rack were replaced. Perhaps unsurprisingly the vendor now grades the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, straight-six engine and transmission as all being in 'excellent' order, and is offering this truly unique Sovereign complete with extensive service history and service book, original handbooks and tool kit, and an advisory-free MOT valid into March next year. The odometer currently displays a total of 43,990 miles. The inclusion of 'VDU 342X' in this auction not only represents an increasingly rare opportunity for Jaguar/Daimler aficionados to acquire a fine example of one of the marque's most iconic models (maybe as a present for 'er indoors'?), but for Minder fans to invest in not just one but both star cars from the show, as the Ford Capri equally famously driven by Daley's boxer turned bodyguard, Terry McCann (played by Dennis Waterman), is also on offer. As Arthur would almost certainly have said: "Buy the pair and from now on the world is your lobster."

- Terry McCann's famous 1977 Ford Capri 2.0 S from the hit TV series Minder - Not only driven by Terry in the opening sequence but also at various times during the series - Recent bodywork restoration and bare metal repaint in its original Ford polar white , new vinyl roof and interior refresh at the cost of £7,800 - Extensive mechanical overhaul including brakes, suspension, service and wax oiled at the cost of over £5,000 - 88,700 recorded miles and offered with an advisory free MOT into March 2017 Dennis Waterman has enjoyed a long and successful acting career that took off with the role of DS Carter in 'The Sweeney' and was furthered by that of Terry McCann in 'Minder' - another Euston Films Series in which he not only played the likeable bodyguard (minder in London slang) to unscrupulous used car salesman Arthur Daley (George Cole), but sung the theme tune - 'I Could Be So Good For You'. The MKII Capri offered here was first registered on January 25 1977 and is the actual car driven by McCann in Minder's opening titles and at various times throughout the Series, which ran from October 1979 to March 1994. 'SLE 71R', which was voted the '28th Greatest TV Car Ever' by Sky TV viewers, was reputedly acquired by a gentleman from Kent after Euston Films had finished with it, and is rumoured to have come close to being scrapped at some stage before belonging to John Hill of Capri Club International from 1991 to 2014, when it was purchased by the vendor. He now regards the body, White paintwork, 2.0-litre engine and manual transmission as 'excellent' and the Black interior trim as 'good', and small wonder as: £7,800 has recently been invested in bodywork restoration, a bare metal repaint in the original colour of Polar White, new vinyl roof, and refresh of the interior. The famous Ford has also benefited from over £5,000 worth of mechanical fettling involving attention to the brakes, suspension and wheels as well as a service and Waxoyl treatment. Currently displaying 88,700 miles, the Capri is being offered with: a collection of old MOTs, plus an advisory-free one into March 2017; invoices for all the work carried out; not to mention the possibility of also acquiring its automotive co-star - ie Arthur Daley's famous Jaguar from the same hit Series. A once in a lifetime opportunity for TV buffs everywhere! The choice of a Capri for former professional boxer turned minder Terry McCann was an interesting one. Though having served time in prison, he was cast as being basically honest and loyal, and his repeated attempts to find a better job suggest a degree of ambition. This linked nicely with the Capri, the model dubbed by Ford as 'The Car You Always Promised Yourself' - ie one for the young, aspiring mainly male driver. Launched in 1969, it was an all-new model range for the Blue Oval - a Coupe that was intended to reproduce in Europe the success of the mighty Mustang in the US - ie our pony car. And a success it most certainly was, with no less than 1.2 million sales accrued for the MKI version. The MKII model like the Minder car was launched in 1974. It was an example of gentle evolution rather than revolution, via which Ford heeded the lessons imposed by the oil crisis and attempted to make their popular Coupe better suited to the needs of the time. The revised model was treated to a shorter bonnet, larger cabin, more modern facia and smaller steering wheel. Most significantly, the Capri now gained a hatchback rear door making the stowage area far more easily accessible and giving rise to a boot space of 630 litres. The engine powering the Minder car was the 2.0 single overhead camshaft Pinto unit, that in standard form produced 98bhp at 5,200rpm and 112 lb ft of torque at 3,500rpm. This drove through either a four-speed manual gearbox or C3 three-speed automatic. The result was no supercar, but a lively performer that allowed Terry to stay out of trouble - at least some of the time!

PLEASE NOTE: New photographs of this vehicle were taken after the description was written which show the chrome sill strips in place. - Recently imported from America and now UK registered and MOT'd - Left hand drive, red leather, recently repainted, and engine serviced - Reportedly 'very good' (interior, gearbox) to 'excellent' (body, engine, electrics) The 190SL was introduced in 1955, the year Mercedes-Benz swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300SLR, and the graceful new two-door convertible grand tourer was sold alongside the road-going version of the SLR, the 300SL, whose styling it strongly resembled. In fact, the underpinnings of the two cars were quite different and, while the 300SL had a purpose-built tubular spaceframe (W198), its smaller sibling was built on a shortened version of the 'Ponton' saloon (W121) platform, which was of a monocoque construction. The 190SL also boasted an all-new engine, an over-square SOHC straight-four unit of 1897cc that produced some 105bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car to a maximum speed of 112mph. The engine was coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox operated by a lever between the seats. The suspension comprised double wishbones and coil springs at the front and a coil-sprung swing axle at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball and braking by power-assisted drums all round. Built to the highest standards and among the quickest comparable cars of the time, the 190SL featured a well-appointed cockpit, notable comfort for its occupants and relatively generous luggage space. Under the circumstances, even the steep asking price did nothing to deter purchasers. The convertible could be ordered with or without a removable hard top. There was also the option of a third seat that was placed transversely behind the front ones and big enough to carry an adult. The 190SL continued in production until 1963, when both it and the 300SL were replaced by the Pagoda. By this time over 25,000 190SLs had been built. This example of Mercedes-Benz's beautiful 190SL was imported from America by the vendor in 2015 and was immediately subjected to a repaint, the works of which were still to be completed during our photography; the chrome sill strips will be fitted before the sale. The vendor states that the paint is "new" and the body that it was applied to is "excellent" and features "great shut lines". The engine is also described as being "excellent" and reportedly features "great oil pressure" and we are informed that it will have a service before the sale. With UK registration having recently been granted by the DVLA this beautiful Mercedes-Benz just awaits a new owner and the summer motoring season ahead.

1 of just 42 RHD M Coupes factory-finished in Dakar Yellow, 'W244 YAR' boasts a solid Black Napa leather interior and has covered some 86,500 miles from new; a figure substantiated by its 'full main agent and marque specialist service history'. As well as scheduled maintenance the BMW has benefited from additional fettling (such as a 'nut and bolt' overhaul of its rear driveline) not to mention various modifications designed to enhance the driving experience including an AC Schnitzer short-shift, uprated braided brake/clutch hoses, polyurethane bushes and an amazing sounding Remus exhaust. Reportedly, 'all the major mechanical issues and faults associated with these particular cars have been addressed by the current and previous owners'. The Vanos system has been recently refurbished with uprated seals, the engine's health belies its age and the car gained a new gearbox/clutch some 30,000 miles ago. Cosmetically, this beautiful BMW underwent a full 'panel off' respray in late 2015, encompassing new front wings and sills, plus a thorough anti-rust/wax oil treatment. The boot floor is regularly inspected and free from cracks, with the original factory welds being in excellent condition. This really is a very cherished example that is only being offered due to the vendor moving overseas. H&H are indebted to the vendor for the following description: Having extensive full BMW service history with thousands of pounds worth of receipts and fully up to date service book this M Coupe also had BMW's extended warranty package from May 2002 until May 2011, looking at the history and speaking to the previous owners, BMW have replaced anything that had a fault with no hesitation or attempt to repair.

- 1 of just 1,959 and subject to an extensive mechanical and body off restoration - A matching numbers example with correct C-Type cylinder head - Offered with a large collection of invoices and photographs of the restoration - Current ownership since 1995 and offered with a fresh MOT although exempt - 5 Speed gearbox, XK150 front brakes and Kenlowe fan According to its accompanying Heritage Certificate, this gorgeous-looking XK started life as one of just 1,959 lefthand drive export models, and was manufactured on November 26, 1956 before delivery to Jaguar Cars New York. It is believed to have been stored for many years while in the USA and had few keepers, the last of whom retained it from 1967 to 1995. In an extraordinary coincidence, it was then acquired by the UK-based vendor who, having been alerted to its availability, researched its whereabouts and history, only to discover it resided next-door-but-one to a relative of his in Santa Barbara. In a further twist of fate, its registration began with the letters DLE, the initials of his then partner! The Jaguar is a matching numbers MC version complete with correct C-Type cylinder head and has been the subject of an extensive mechanical and body-off restoration, during which it was converted to righthand drive. The work included: a repaint in its original colour of Black by the vendor's own bodyshop; a complete re-trim in Red leather; re-veneering of the woodwork; rechroming by Prestige Plating; the provision of new chromed wire wheels and tyres. Desirable uprates include a five-speed gearbox, the larger XK150 brakes and a Kenlowe electric fan. The vendor unsurprisingly now classifies the XK's bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as all being in 'Excellent' order and is offering the Jaguar complete with photos of the restoration, Heritage Certificate, and a collection of old tax discs and MOTs, plus a fresh MOT even though, of course, it's not legally required. The displayed mileage of just 89,000 is believed (but not warranted) to be correct. NB The M in MC referred to the provision of wire wheels, dual exhausts and auxiliary lights and the C to the C-Type cylinder head.

- RHD car manufactured 25 June 1969 and delivered via Henlys London - Red with black leather interior - Much work carried out in the current ownership This attractive matching numbers UK specification right hand drive E-type 4.2 Roadster was built on 25-6-1969 and supplied new to London Jaguar Dealer Henlys. This is confirmed by a letter from Jaguar Cars in the history file. During the 1980's the car was exported for use in Canada before the owner re-imported it back to the UK in August 1990 - still as a right hand drive car. The next lady owner kept the car from 1991-2015 covering only 3688 miles during this 24-year period; the mileage now shows 60,100 miles, which is believed to be correct. In 2001 the car was treated to a comprehensive bare metal body shell restoration by the Imperial Motor Company of Dewsbury, this also included a new bonnet and wax-oiling all cavities and door shells. During the past 12 months a further c.£9,000 has been lavished on the car with marque specialists including a full service, new engine and gearbox mounts, new front shock absorbers, new wire wheels and tyres, new stainless exhaust, new mohair hood and foot-well carpets. The vendor states that the car drives very well with the steering, suspension and brakes performing correctly. The engine is also said to perform strongly exhibiting the correct oil pressure whilst the original black leather interior has a period correct patina. This desirable UK specification matching numbers E-Type 4.2 roadster is accompanied by a Swansea V5C document.

- An original RHD example manufactured in September 1978 and dispatched to Australia - Accompanied by a Heritage Certificate and registered with the DVLA in June 2014 - Described as having original and good paintwork and a very good interior There was always scope for the production of a vehicle that combined the no-nonsense Land Rover's off-road prowess with a greater degree of on-road chic and comfort. Though various plans were mooted in the 1950s, it was the emergence of the American SUV a decade later that finally convinced Rover to create such a model. Spen King famously oversaw the '100 inch Station Wagon' project that was finally revealed as the Range Rover in 1970. The David Bache-penned newcomer was powered by the ubiquitous Rover V8 - initially in 3.5-litre guise which was connected to a permanent four-wheel drive system for optimum traction. According to the Heritage Certificate that accompanies this delightful 2-Door Range Rover, it left the production line on September 1st 1978 and was dispatched fourteen days later to British Leyland Australia. Having been repatriated it was registered with the DVLA in June 2014 and acquired by the Range Rover enthusiast vendor in 2015. Described by the vendor as having very original paintwork and bodywork that is in generally good condition, he continues to describe the interior as being very good.

This interesting and attractive Z1 features Metallic Blue bodywork teamed with a Cream/White leather and cloth interior. It was purchased new in the Sultanate of Oman, where it was maintained extensively to June 2000 (38,179 km) by AL Jenaibi International Automobiles LLC in Muscat, the BMW dealer for the Sultanate and is believed to have been originally owed by the Sultan of Oman. By November 2001 the car had found its way to these shores and granted the UK registration 'H542 OEE'. It was at this point it was purchased by the vendor from Astle BMW of Scunthorpe and we are told it is the only Z1 to be fitted with both a Heater and Air-Conditioning from the 8,000 made making it extremely rare. Having always been garaged during his ownership the BMW has just received a full mechanical service and bodywork refurbishment by marque specialist Munich Legends including the installation of new front wings and a driver's door skin. Having only travelled just over 4,000 miles during his ownership he now considers the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, straight-six engine and manual gearbox to all be in 'excellent' order and 'H542 OEE' is offered with a collection of invoices, original service book and a fresh MOT. H&H are indebted to the vendor for the following information: - BMW Dealer in Muscat, Oman, National Automobiles, Al Jenaibi International Automobiles LLC, BMW Dealer in Muscat, Oman, which records the following: - Free pre-delivery check on 19 November 1990. - Running-in Inspection performed at 2,297 km on 28 December 1990. - BMW Oil Service performed at 13,644 km on 29 August 1995. - BMW Inspection performed at 18,596 km on 18 October 1997. - BMW Oil Service performed at 21,535 km on 2 November 1999. - BMW Oil Service performed at 30,349 km on 22 January 2000. - BMW Inspection performed at 38,179 km on 13 June 2000.

- 1 of just 448 Fixed Head examples made - Supplied new via Northampton Motor Services to Colonel Nigel Victor Stopford Sackville CBE of Drayton House, Lowick and retained by him until 1966 at circa 58,000 miles. - Two former keepers shown on its V5C Registration Document - Off the road from 1969 - 2016 having recently emerged from a five-year long, 'chassis up' restoration - Matching chassis and engine (Vantage spec) numbers - Credible 65,000 recorded miles "The Aston Martin DB2/4 is a sports car with a very definite appeal. It has full saloon car comfort, coupled with performance and roadholding of a very high order" (Autocar Magazine) Introduced at the October 1953 London Motor Show, the DB2/4 represented a new breed of longer-legged, more accommodating Aston Martin. Some seven inches longer and a little taller than its predecessor, the fitting of a smaller seventeen gallon fuel tank (still good for circa 300 miles) plus some minor platform changes liberated enough room for two small seats to be positioned above the back axle. Visually distinguished by a one-piece windscreen and rear hatchback, the new model boasted such niceties as a telescopic steering column and adjustable backrests. Panelled in lightweight aluminium over an advanced tubular frame chassis, its independent front suspension featured a sophisticated trailing link, coil-sprung set-up tempered by an anti-roll bar, while at the rear a Panhard rod assisted radius arms in keeping the coil-sprung beam axle firmly tied down. Initially powered by a 2580cc version of the famous Willie Watson / W.O. Bentley designed DOHC straight-six engine, the adoption of a larger 83mm bore size saw capacity rise to 2922cc in mid 1954. Thanks to its 'Vantage' state of tune, the 2.6 litre unit was credited with developing some 125bhp and 144lbft of torque - outputs sufficient for a quoted 111mph top speed. Overshadowed by its racing DB3 / DB3S siblings, the model still enjoyed a successful competition career winning the team prize on the 1955 Monte Carlo Rally (interestingly, the factory also fielded a pair of DB2/4s for the Mille Miglia). Of the 565 MKIs made, just 448 are thought to have been two-door saloons. According to its accompanying copy Aston Martin Ltd (AML) Build Sheet and Service Records, this particular MKI 2.6 litre example - chassis number LML/656 - was supplied new via Northampton Motor Services to Colonel Nigel Victor Stopford Sackville CBE of Drayton Park. Specified with optional heavy duty shock absorbers and RJ needles, the 2+2-seater underwent further preparations for Continental Touring at the Feltham Works during June 1954. Pleasingly retaining its original Instruction Book which shows that new tyres were fitted in April 1958 (29,000 miles), September 1961 (45,000 miles) and June 1965 (58,000 miles), 'KBD 236' was still wearing the latter set of Pirelli Cinturatos when it entered the current ownership via our April 2011 Buxton auction. A Northants resident for almost all its life and dry stored for forty-two years (1969 - 2011), the Aston Martin still shows just two former keepers on its V5C Registration Document. Believed to have covered just 65,000 miles from new, the DB2/4 has not long emerged from an extensive, nigh on 'nut and bolt' restoration that saw it stripped to a bare chassis. Having sought advice from the likes of Aston Services Dorset, Nicholas Mee, Four Ashes and Chicane Classics, the vendor had Ian Pitney and former Mulliner Park Ward panel beater Lance McCormack refurbish the chassis and bodywork. The factory-fitted engine was overhauled by Dave Swithen using parts sourced from Stamper Aston Martin of Cumbria (the same firm also supplying numerous components for other aspects of the project). Tarrozzeria carried out the repainting, while ex-Wood & Pickett craftsman Patrick Hanson re-trimmed the interior ('KBD 236' was originally finished in Moonbeam Grey with Red Connolly leather upholstery). Further benefiting from new wire wheels shod with Avon tyres, rejuvenated brightwork and a fresh wiring loom etc, the DB2/4 started readily upon inspection and boasts a current MOT certificate valid until 31st January 2017. Gaining as much pleasure from preserving Britain's motoring heritage as he does from driving it, the vendor is only offering this highly presentable, 'matching numbers' Aston Martin for sale to fund a series of other restoration projects.

- 1 of just 351 Series II examples made - Supplied new via Raymond Mays to Rowland Hunt Esq. of Aswardby Hall, Lincs - Uprated with a later Series engine during the 1960s (copy logbook from 1968 quotes the current engine number) - Significantly improved during the current ownership including a respray in California Sage Metallic, top-end engine overhaul (big valve cylinder head) and extensive suspension / brake / steering fettling - Part of a European collection for over 20 years Debuting at first the Paris and then London Motor Shows of 1958, the Aston Martin DB4 was a world class high-performance GT. Some four years in the making, its gestation was overseen by the marque's Technical Director John Wyer. Working alongside Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, Harold Beech developed a robust sheet-steel platform chassis which could accommodate the Italian coachbuilder's 'Superleggera' or 'Super Light' method of body construction (whereby hand beaten aluminium alloy panels are fitted over a cage-like structure of small-diameter support tubes). Equipped with independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a Watts linkage located 'live' rear axle and four-wheel disc bakes, the model was powered by a new all-alloy DOHC straight-six engine. Displacing 3670cc thanks to its 'square' bore and stroke dimensions (92mm x 92mm), the sophisticated powerplant was designed by Tadek Merak. Interestingly, the Polish-born engineer is thought to have fought Wyer's wishes for a more competition friendly 3-litre unit and to have initially favoured cast-iron construction. With a quoted 240bhp and 240lbft of torque on tap, the two-door fixed-head also boasted a four-speed all-synchromesh manual gearbox as standard. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds, 0-100mph in 21 seconds and 140mph, the DB4 won rave reviews from the likes of Autocar and Motor magazines. Despite a well stocked dashboard, finest Connolly hides and thick carpets, the refinement of early cars was compromised by wind roar at speed. Frames were quickly adopted for the side windows as a result and the 2+2 progressively refined through five series (a process that also saw it put on weight). Introduced in January 1960, the Series II variant was distinguished by its front-hinged bonnet, flat glass opening rear quarter lights, uprated front brake callipers and increased oil sump capacity. Of the 1,110 DB4s made, just 350 are thought to have been Series II cars (chassis DB4/251/L to DB4/600/R). According to its accompanying copy Aston Martin Ltd (AML) Build Sheet and Service Records, this particular Series II example - chassis number DB4/415/R - was supplied new via Raymond Mays to Rowland Hunt Esq. of Aswardby Hall, Spilsby on November 11th 1960. Acquired by watchmaker Bentima Co Ltd of 168 Old St, EC1 the following April, a copy continuation logbook on file shows that ownership later transferred to James Mario Elliot of Carlisle Place, SW1, Brenda Diane Making, Anthony Elliott and C. Benge (interestingly, the latter three all quoted 28 Carlingford Road, Morden, Surrey as their address). The same document also reveals that the DB4 was upgraded with a later series powerplant during the 1960s (engine number 370/894 supplanting 370/487). Early DB4 engines were prone to failure hence the reason that Aston Martin added an oil cooler to its specification as the model evolved. Part of a private European collection from the late 1980s through till 2014 when it entered the current custodianship via the Landmark Car Co Ltd, chassis DB4/415/R has since been substantially improved. Treated to a 'top-end' engine overhaul including replacement big valve cylinder head by Motronic Automotive Services of Iver at a cost of some £9,411.47, the four-seater was subsequently despatched to marque specialist Chicane Classics for over £30,000 worth of attention to its steering, brakes, front / rear suspension, exhaust and tyres etc. Cosmetically enhanced via a respray in California Sage Metallic, the Aston Martin started readily upon inspection and is understood to have covered some 500 post-fettling miles. Trimmed in Black leather as per its build specification and reunited with its original registration number 'SCT 415', this rare Aston Martin DB4 Series II is offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document, copy build record, copy continuation logbook and numerous restoration bills / invoices.

- Entered from a private collection and current ownership since 2009 - 18,000 miles from new (last serviced by P&A Wood @ 16,004 miles) - Desirable Mulliner pack with 20-inch alloy wheels and diamond quilted seats and door cards etc - 6.0 litre W12 twin-turbocharged engine, automatic transmission, climate control etc Introduced at the 2003 Geneva Salon, the Continental GT was the most technologically advanced Bentley in generations. Powered by the marque's first all-new engine since 1959, its twin-turbocharged 5998cc W12 was allied to six-speed ZF Tiptronic transmission. With a quoted 552bhp and 479lbft of torque on tap plus Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive, the 2+2-seater GT was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 198mph. A deft blend of muscularity and elegance, the two-door coupe's lines were the work of Dirk Van Braekel. Equipped with sophisticated independent suspension and ventilated ABS disc brakes all-round, the Continental GT proved an accomplished transcontinental express. Unveiled for the 2005 model-year, the Mulliner Driving Specification boasted 20-inch 7-spoke alloy wheels, drilled alloy pedals and diamond quilted upholstery / door cards etc. Responsible for broadening Bentley's appeal in a way that no predecessor could match, the Continental GT's future classic status is assured. Finished in the striking combination of Silver Lake with Nautic Blue leather upholstery, this particular Continental GT Mulliner has had just two former keepers and covered a mere 18,000 miles from new. Purchased from Broughtons of Cheltenham for £53,210 on 22nd April 2009 with a warranted mileage of 10,500, the Bentley has since formed part of the vendor's impressive private collection (and been garaged alongside several 1950s/1960s Continentals). Last serviced by marque heritage dealer P&A Wood at 16,004 miles and sparingly used over the past few years, 'N5 AVB' remains highly presentable. Offered for sale with book pack (including stamped service log), history file and MOT certificate valid until March 2017.

- Entered from a private collection and current ownership since 1987 - Supplied new to Sheikh Mubarak Abdullah Al Hamad Al Sabah via Saad & Trad, Beirut - Later imported from America and entrusted to marque specialist P&A Wood for conversion to right-hand drive specification - 6230cc V8, automatic transmission, power assisted steering and air conditioning fitted - Reputed to have covered just 58,000 miles from new - 1 of just 82 chassis bodied to design number 2011 by H.J. Mulliner Introduced in Autumn 1962, the S3 Continental was notable as the last Bentley to be coachbuilt on a separate chassis. Powered by a 6230cc OHV V8 engine allied to four-speed automatic transmission and reputedly capable of nigh-on 120mph, the newcomer was ferociously expensive. One of the more striking designs available, H.J. Mulliner's 'Flying Spur' made precious few stylistic concessions to its four-door practicality. Inspired by the heraldic symbol bestowed upon the Scottish Johnstone Clan for helping Bonnie Prince Charlie escape the English on horseback, the model's distinctive moniker came courtesy of H.J. Mulliner's Managing Director, Harry Talbot Johnstone Esq. Understandably popular among contemporary celebrities such as Jayne Mansfield, Fanny Craddock, Sir John Mills, Harry Belafonte and Keith Richards, just 312 S3 Continentals were completed between 1962 and 1966. However, H.J. Mulliner only bodied 82 chassis to its design number 2011. According to its accompanying copy chassis cards, this particular example - chassis BC92LXB - was supplied new via Saad & Traad of Beirut to Sheikh Mubarak Abdullah Al Hamad Al Sabah (the extended Al Sabah family includes the present Emir of Kuwait). Originally finished in Carribbean Blue with Off White leather upholstery - the same combination it pleasingly sports today - the Bentley was also specified with Colonial suspension, electric windows all-round, Dunlop white-sided tyres and a 'Made in England' bulkhead plaque. Apparently resident in America thereafter, the Flying Spur was first UK road registered on 7th February 1972. Numerous copy invoices on file from Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists P&A Wood show that they have known the decidedly elegant four-seater for some forty odd years. As well as looking after the Bentley for previous custodians Bernard J. Crowley Esq., J.J. Burton Esq. and Ian Scoggins Esq. not to mention installing a heated rear window and air-conditioning, the renowned Essex-based firm sold it to the vendor on 5th February 1987 at an indicated 41,715 miles. The subject of an article in the Third P&A Wood Newsletter entitled 'The Missing Registration Document and the Mouse!' chassis BC92LXB was described thus: 'We had a Bentley S3 Flying Spur with very low mileage for sale. It was a car which had been imported from America and which we had converted from left- to right-hand drive for a customer who wanted a very good low mileage example . . . It soon became apparent that there was a mouse in the car. We tried everything to find the mouse but just like in the cartoons it was probably laughing at us while we almost dismantled the whole car! . . . The history file had been left on the back seat and everything was there except for the Registration Document . . . The buyer took the car for the weekend and on the Monday telephoned Paul to say he had found the document. "Where was it?" asked Paul. The buyer explained that when he switched the heater on it blew out all over him! The mouse had used it for its nest in the heater ducts. He took it in good spirits and sent us all the pieces in an envelope. We had the car back but never did find the mouse!' Assorted old MOT certificates suggest that the Bentley has covered just 17,000 or so miles over the last twenty-nine years. Part of an impressive private collection during that time (and stabled alongside several other Continentals), the sports saloon has benefited from in-house maintenance plus attention to its ignition (2002, 2008), brake system (2008, 2010), windscreen seal (2010) and fuel pumps. Treated to a £14,730 bodywork restoration / respray in 2009-2010, more recent work has seen the wood veneers refinished and the sump cleaned out. A globe-trotting Flying Spur with an enviable history, 'RYT 15' shows a highly credible 58,000 miles to its odometer. A great way to share Bentley Continental motoring with friends.

- Entered from a private collection and current ownership since 1984 - Supplied new to James Douglas Alston CBE of South Lopham Hall, Norfolk by Jack Barclay Ltd and later the property of the actor Patrick Allen - 1 of just 119 S1 Continental chassis bodied to design number 7400 by H.J. Mulliner - 4.9 litre straight-six engine, automatic transmission and original Champagne leather upholstery - Extensive period service history with Jack Barclay Ltd Allocated design number 7400, the two-door all-aluminium Fastback coachwork which H.J. Mulliner crafted for the Bentley S1 Continental chassis was decidedly rarer than that fitted to its R-Type predecessor. Stylistically more reserved but still "flowing and purposeful and free from any needless excrescence", the newcomer was not only underpinned by a notably stiffer chassis (up fifty percent in terms of torsional rigidity) but also boasted a smaller turning circle, more compliant suspension and improved hydraulic brakes. Typically allied to four-speed automatic transmission, its refined 4887cc OISE straight-six engine yielded a 120mph top speed and impressive acceleration. Arguably the ultimate Bentley S1 Continental variant, the H.J. Mulliner Fastback was among the very fastest and most glamorous four-seaters of its generation. According to its accompanying copy chassis cards, this particular example - chassis BC94AF - was supplied new via Jack Barclay Ltd and Mann Egerton & Co Ltd to James Douglas Alston CBE of South Lopham Hall, Diss, Norfolk (a gentleman farmer and former deputy Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk whose business interests extended to Norwich City Football Club). Clothed by H.J. Mulliner with body number 5888, the Bentley was initially road registered as 'SYE 545' on 5th July 1956 and finished in Tartan Green with Champagne leather upholstery. Purchased from Jack Barclay Ltd by A.J. Koenen Esq. - a London-based wine merchant - some three years and 38,000 miles later, the Fastback passed to its third keeper the renowned stage and screen actor Patrick Allen Esq during February 1966. Re-registered as 'PKA 999' during his tenure which copy Jack Barclay Ltd invoices show lasted well into the 1970s, chassis BC94AF is then known to have passed through the hands of Bertram Cowen Ltd, Kevin Dolan Esq. and Nicholas Hart Esq. before entering the current ownership on October 1st 1984 (purchase invoice on file). Assorted old MOT certificates suggest that the Bentley has covered just 10,000 or so miles over the last thirty-two years. Part of an impressive private collection during that time (and stabled alongside its sibling BC90AF for several decades), the luxurious four-seater sports saloon has nevertheless been treated to an engine overhaul by Arthur Archer of Dunmow: new piston rings, bearings, valve guides, gaskets etc (1987, c.5,000 miles ago), replacement woolcloth headlining (2000), front suspension refurbishment (2006), new windscreen (2009), fresh exhaust system (2012) and rejuvenated wood veneers (2016) plus attention to its ignition system and brakes etc. Pleasingly thought to retain its original Champagne leather upholstery, the Fastback had already been repainted Dark Blue when Mr Dolan displayed it at the RREC's South of England Rally on 8th May 1983. Awarded 2nd Place in the Best Visiting Classic Class at the Jaguar Drivers' Club's East Anglian Concours d'Elegance Meeting some twenty-four years later, the Bentley remains a very imposing and presentable motorcar. Reluctantly being offered for sale and currently undergoing a cherished number plate transfer, this decidedly rare S1 Continental H.J. Mulliner Fastback - 1 of just 119 - is accompanied by an original sales brochure, handbook and history file. Post-War Bentleys rarely come more beautiful or collectable.

Ever since the landmark 300SL was unveiled in 1954, Mercedes have produced an SL (Sport Leicht) model or range of models. The similarly styled, but mechanically unrelated, 190 followed in 1955, completing the first generation of cars. It was succeeded by the W113 Series, the rarest variant of which, the 250SL, was officially introduced at the March 1967 Geneva Salon. Blessed with effortlessly elegant Paul Bracq styling, it was powered by a new SOHC straight-six engine. Suspension was independent all-round while braking was by power-assisted discs on all four corners, and steering by power-assisted recirculating ball. The majority of 250SLs were specified with four-speed automatic gearboxes, and many were ordered in 'Coupe Convertible' guise, that came with both a soft-top and the famous 'Pagoda' hardtop roof. Faster than the 230SL yet more stiffly-sprung and agile than its 280SL successor, the 250SL remained in production for just a single year, accounting for a mere 5,196 sales worldwide, more than a third of which were exported to America. This smartly-presented left-hand drive SL was first registered on January 1st 1968 and specified with both power steering and automatic transmission. Relatively little is known about its history other than it was owned by a Mrs Kathleen Hack of Michigan USA from December 4th 1989 until purchased by the vendor and UK registered as 'KCK 447F' last year. At some stage the Benz has been upgraded by the replacement of its original 2.5-litre engine by a 2.8-litre one from a period 280 SE. The car is resplendent in Red matched to a Black leather interior and currently displays 102,935 miles. The vendor presently classes the Pagoda's straight-six engine, automatic gearbox and interior as 'excellent' and the two-door bodywork and paintwork as 'very good', and is offering the car complete with fresh V5 and both hard and soft tops.

- Engine upgrade to Vantage specification and 4 speed ZF automatic gearbox - Original wheels and gearbox included and available for collection from vendor - Vantage front air dam and Oscar India bonnet fitted - Suffolk Red with Fawn leather interior - Featured on front cover of Classic & Sportscar magazine in 1986 - Purchased from Paul Spires and three owners from new - In the current ownership since 1990 In 1973 Aston Martin introduced the Weber carburettor-fed V8, retrospectively designated Series 3. In 1977, the engine, incorporating some of the modifications for the then-new V8 Vantage was given the 'S' specification. Later cars also had a redesigned dashboard with black replacing chromed instrument bezels. TYX807S was delivered to a London business in March 1978 and in 1986 passed to Paul Spires, currently commercial director at Aston Martin Works. In October 1986, the car featured on the front cover of Classic and Sportscar magazine. In 1990, it was acquired by the current third owner. In 1991, the colour was changed from the original Florida Blue to Suffolk Red and a Vantage front air dam and Cibié driving lights fitted. In 1993 the chassis was refurbished by Aston Engineering of Derby, with a Harvey-Bailey handling kit fitted, and in 1995, they extensively overhauled and upgraded the engine to Vantage V540 specification (approx. 380 bhp) with stainless exhaust system, since when the car has completed approximately 23,000 miles. In 2002, uprated AP brakes were fitted. In 2011, at 123,831 miles the Chrysler gearbox was replaced with a ZF4HP24 unit with a low-stall torque converter, necessitating a new speedometer. The lower three ratios are the same as original with the addition of a lock-up 0.73:1 overdrive fourth gear giving 33mph per 1,000 rpm and making for more relaxed and economical running. The car is currently fitted with 17" Image alloy wheels, giving a wide availability of tyres but the original GKN wheels (and Chrysler gearbox) will be available with the car. Additional equipment includes intermittent wipers, electric door mirrors, headrests, rear seat belts, mats and alarm/immobiliser/remote central door locking. The interior is refurbished, with the dashboard vinyl replaced by matching leather and the headlining in alcantara. The car is ready to be used and enjoyed but would also provide a sound base for return to original specification.

- First registered to Viscount Monsell of Evesham - One of just ten Lagonda M45As built - Stunning looking conversion to Le Mans style coachwork Among the rarest Lagondas ever made, the M45A measured its production span in terms of months rather than years. Notable as the last model to be signed off before Lagonda went into receivership, manufacture recommenced during Autumn 1935 once LG Motors (Staines) Ltd had taken control but is thought to have accounted for just ten saloons. An evolution of the M45 incorporating lessons learnt from the sporting M45 Rapide, the M45A utilised a modified version of the marque's proven 10-ft 9in wheelbase `ZM' chassis but with the engine set further forward so as to increase cabin space. The radiator and Girling brake system of the Rapide were adopted but otherwise the newcomer was mechanically more akin to the M45 (though, it did also share the racier model's rocker cover). Powered by an unstressed Meadows 6ESC 4453cc OHV straight-six engine, the M45A was reputedly capable of 95mph. Compared to the `Silent Traveller' ST34 saloon body fitted to the M45, the pillarless four-door ST64 body found on its successor was not only roomier but also boasted a host of detail changes including: a larger, more rounded boot, reprofiled windscreen, flush door hinges, improved mouldings and restyled / valanced wings (complete with a central ridge). Of the ten M45A saloons built during the Summer and Autumn of 1935, it is understood that just two are known to have survived. According to its chassis plate, Z11408 began life as one of those extremely rare M45A ST64 pillarless saloons. A letter from the Lagonda Club confirms it was first registered on 1st July 1935, although it was not delivered to its first owner, Viscount Monsell of Evesham, until 8th November. Due to its Surrey registration number it is quite possible the car served as a Works demonstrator between first registration and its November delivery date. Bolton Meredith Eyres-Monsell, 1st Viscount Monsell GBE PC, had been a decorated Naval Commander during WW1, receiving the Order of the Nile from the Sultan of Egypt. He enjoyed a lengthy and successful political career, serving as an MP for Evesham District from 1910 to 1936 and held the position of Chief Whip of the Conservative party until 1931 when he was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. It is not known when he sold the car but by November 1955 it was in the ownership of a K A Targett of Chiswick and in 1970 was acquired by Tony Toffolo of Paignton, Devon. According to Club records, it was he who removed the original saloon body replacing it with touring coachwork. It is believed this is the coachwork worn by the car today. The work would appear to have been completed to a good standard and CPK 384's appearance is both striking and extremely attractive. Finished in green with black seating and carpets, aero screens and Rapide style exhaust complete its sporting character. In December 1984 the car was acquired by motor dealer, Geoff Forty, who sold it in April 1985 to a Mr H Pendlebury of Blackburn. By July 1990 it was in the ownership of a Miss Janet Simpson of Preston, from whom it was purchased by the vendor's late-father in 2008. The engine currently fitted is numbered M45/15 and is understood to have originally been installed in chassis Z10510 before being repaired under warranty and then fitted into chassis Z10795 which is believed to have been subsequently broken up. Featured on the front cover of Lancashire Life magazine in December 2007 (a copy accompanies the car), it is understood to drive well with a good turn of speed, although the exact current specification of the Meadows straight 6 OHV engine is unknown. CPK 384 is being offered with Swansea V5c document, a number of expired MoT certificates and a photocopy spiral bound Revised Handbook for 4.5-litre, M45R and LG45 models. Although exempt, it is expected to possess a fresh MoT certificate in time for the sale. Fast, tough and beautiful, the M45 is as highly prized today (and for exactly the same reasons) as it was amongst those lucky enough to have enjoyed ownership during its 1930s heyday.

Introduced at the September 1979 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Porsche 924 Carrera GT was built as a limited run of 406 homologation specials (331 LHD, 75 RHD). Designed as the basis for a successful Group 4 racer / rally car, it utilised the same basic two-door bodyshell as the standard 924 albeit adorned with various mouldings (front valance, front wings, rear wheelarch extensions etc). Running 0.75bar boost, an 8.5:1 compression ratio and large intercooler, the turbocharged 1984cc SOHC four-cylinder engine was quoted as developing 210bhp and 203lbft of torque. Priced at just £19,210.75, the model's UK allocation sold out in next to no time. This RHD example is finished in black with black / red pinstripe interior, the vendor advises the vehicle comes with evidence of an engine overhaul in 1989, 14 expired MoT certificates, various service sheets and invoices (including a retrim of the front seats in 2016 and the fitment of a reconditioned turbo). Accompanied by an MoT to August 2016, it is described as having "very good" bodywork and paintwork with "excellent" engine, transmission and interior.

- 1 of 17 examples built and 1 of 3 known survivors - Body by Hughes Ltd in Kenya - Finished in Spruce Green - Extremely rare barnfind for restoration 109E18717 rolled off the production line at Dagenham in 1961 as a grey two door saloon. Interestingly it then formed part of a small batch of seventeen examples that were delivered to Hughes Ltd, Ford's then main agent in Nairobi, where Cassini & Hughes would convert them into station wagons for police use. Following its conversion, and for reasons unknown, the car returned to the UK in August 1964 being registered BLR 298B. By the late 1970s it was in a sorry state and was acquired by Bob Renshaw who restored it replacing the original 1340cc engine with a 1500cc unit. By 1992 the car was deteriorating again and was purchased by John Cantwell who set about another rebuild, changing the colour from Bronze to Spruce Green and re-registering it 2271 RU. Following its completion the car was a regular on the show circuit being featured in Popular Classics magazine before again falling into disuse. Displaying some 74,000 miles and one of just three known survivors, this rare barnfind is ripe for another restoration and comes with Swansea V5 and history information as researched by John Cantwell.

- Nut and bolt restoration completed by Triumph specialists Northern TR Centre in 1994 - Recorded history having only 3 family private owners - Matching numbers vehicle - Rare features include aluminium bonnet, cranked gear lever, 'ultra rare' metric trim on dash and door cards, early design rear light assemblies and original tools with early jack and starting handle This early 'long door', matching numbers TR2 is finished in the rare original hue of Geranium matched to Blackberry-coloured leather interior trim and weather equipment. Of its 62-year history, it has been registered for the road for a mere 17 and has numbered just three family private owners, all known to each other and from the same community. It was the subject of a full body and mechanical nut and bolt restoration in 1994, courtesy of the renowned Triumph specialists, the Northern TR Centre. The total mileage stands at 52,655, just 360 of which have been accrued since the completion of the refurbishments. The car has nevertheless been maintained in show condition and full working order and stored in a heated garage as part of a small private vehicle collection. The emphasis of the restoration was to retain and refurbish as many of the original parts as possible, thereby maintaining the car's impressive provenance. Rare features include the alloy bonnet, cranked gear lever, 'metric' trim of the facia and door cards, early design of rear light assemblies, and the original tools with early-style jack and starting handle. The Blackberry trim is matched by Wilton quality carpets and full set of period-correct weather equipment, including tonneau and hood stick cover. The Triumph is eligible for the Historic Mille Miglia and has featured in TR books by both Bill Piggot and David Hodges. Post restoration, 'FMS 858' has won awards in regional classic events and is considered by the vendor to possess 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission, and to be at least a '95 point' car by the concours judging standards of the Triumph Register of America. Recently treated to a new battery and tyres as part of ongoing maintenance, it is being offered complete with the original buff log book, driver's handbook, photographic records of the restoration, a substantial file of invoices and represents a rare opportunity for serious Triumph collectors everywhere.
