A special edition produced to celebrate Red Bull's Third  F1 Constructors Title, one of only 30-UK cars, just 300 miles and an interesting history.In 2013, to celebrate their third Formula 1 Constructors’ World Championship title, Renault and Red Bull Racing released a new, limited-edition Mégane RS Red Bull Racing RB8. Painted in the exclusive Crépuscule Blue colour used by the Red Bull F1 team, combined with Platinum Grey details such as the F1 blade, door handle, door mirror housings and rear lip spoiler, the sports hatch also displayed Red Bull graphics at the rear and on the sides. The cars sat on fabulous, black 19'' Steev alloys with high-performance Bridgestone tyres. On the inside, the RB8 featured Red Bull Racing branding on the numbered aluminium sill guards and carpet mats and the logo also appeared on the headrests of the Recaro seats, which were trimmed in new leather/fabric upholstery. Mechanically, the new car was pretty well the same as the Mégane RS Trophy edition, featuring a 'Cup' chassis, limited-slip differential, and 265bhp and 360Nm of torque squeezed out of a 1,998cc, 16v, four-cylinder turbo.The remarkable example on offer here is #791 of 891 worldwide, but it's one of only 30 right-hand drive cars that made it to the UK, with one being retained by Renault. #791 was selected by RBR to be specially prepared and offered as a gift from Sebastian Vettel and RenaultSport to Calerm Yoovidhya, the Thai national and majority share holder of the Red Bull empire, to commemorate their multiple F1 Championship victories.The car is currently owned by Rob Marshall who acquired it in 2020. At the time, Rob was Red Bull Racing's Chief Engineering Officer, having previously been Chief Designer working alongside Adrian Newey, providing Sebastian Vettel with the required tools to win his four World Championships. Having spent most of its life in storage, the unrepeatable low-mileage of 300 is fully warranted, and despite having not gone anywhere, it has been serviced as required and recently had a cambelt change dictated by time rather than mileage.A potent, limited-edition ‘hot hatch’ with a story to tell that will be at home with any F1 fanatic or eclectic collector. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged. SpecificationMake: RENAULTModel: MEGANE RENAULTSPORT RED BULL RACING RB8.Year: 2013Chassis Number: VF10ZY10649924840Registration Number: L563 YAVTransmission: ManualEngine Number: Co21352Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 308 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Slate Grey - Cloth / HideClick here for more details and images

Lot 707

On offer from a private Collection, this Immaculately restored Morris Mini Pick-Up is about as good as you will ever find.Introduced in January 1961, the Mini Pick-Up was based around the same stretched platform as its Panel Van sibling. Similarly exempt from sales tax as a commercial vehicle, it sported a pressed steel grille, sliding windows and external door hinges throughout its 22-year production life. Initially powered by an 848cc four-cylinder, it could be specified with the more powerful 998cc engine from1967 onwards (both A-series units being mated to the same 4-speed manual transmission). Benefiting from a 4"-longer wheelbase, taller rear suspension turrets and underfloor fuel tanks, the Pick-Up/Panel Van derivatives were arguably even more fun to drive than their saloon equivalents. Mini became a standalone brand during October 1969, with parent company, British Leyland, dropping the compact saloon and its derivatives from the Austin and Morris ranges, a change signified by simplified badging and a new logo. The otherwise unchanged Pick-Up could still be had in 850 or 1,000 guises.Dating from 26th February 1962, this pretty little Morris Mini Pick-Up found it's way into the hands of our vendor in January 2011 and underwent a comprehensive and meticulous nut and bolt restoration, leaving no detail overlooked. Now very smartly-presented in Willow Green with black trim, it retains its original 848cc engine and 4-speed gearbox, and can truly be described as excellent in every area, one of the best we have ever seen. Part of our vendor's significant Collection, it's kept safe and dry, regularly maintained, with a small history file including the Heritage Trust Certificate, and used for a bit of fun and the occasional trip to Goodwood.For collectors and enthusiasts alike, 6396 MU presents a golden opportunity to acquire a meticulously restored 1960s classic, offering more than its fair share of nostalgia.SpecificationMake: MORRISModel: MINIYear: 1962Chassis Number: MAV4217735Registration Number: 6396 MUTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 197961 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 6365 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Lot 652

With only 150 miles since a comprehensive restoration with input from Alfaholics and Classic Alfa amongst others, this 2-litre Spider looks almost 'showroom fresh'. 1970s open-top motoring does not come much better than this.A modern classic by Pininfarina, the simple-yet-elegant 'Kamm tail' Spider bodywork, which premiered on the 1970 Spider Veloce Series 2, would prove enduringly popular, lasting into the 1990s. The Spider's mechanics were essentially those of the Giulia with independent front suspension, a coil-suspended live rear axle, and four-wheel servo-assisted disc brakes, whilst the engine was the Giulia Sprint GTV's 1.6-litre, double-overhead-camshaft four. The twin-Dell Orto equipped 2-litre Spider Veloce (105.27) arrived in 1971. Wind tunnel testing resulted in the 2000's signature drag-reducing Wunibald Kamm-designed 'Coda Tronca' tail, while improvements over the earlier Duetto models included bigger brakes and a limited-slip differential. Other changes were not so easily spotted. The windscreen was more inclined, leading to additional modifications and adorning the front was a new heart-shaped grille and revised bumpers. Several other detail changes were made before production changed to the Series 3 in 1982. Outstanding speed, acceleration and handling were all characteristics of this class-leading model, which nevertheless possessed a remarkable docility, even at high speeds.According to its Certificate of Origin, this original right-hand drive 2000 Veloce was originally supplied on 20th May 1975 and onwards to its first owner on 4th June 1975. It's been the subject of a recent extensive restoration and now presents superbly in a gleaming coat of Alfa Rosso over a classic black interior and is supplied with an extremely rare factory hardtop. The extensive rebuild was not purely cosmetic, but far more in-depth, ensuring that this example now stands head and shoulders above the average. Works included a full body refurbishment and an engine and gearbox rebuild incorporating new carburettors, electric fuel pump and electronic ignition at which point it was fully set up on a rolling-road. Further restoration included a total suspension and brake overhaul, a new fuel tank, and a full retrim including door cards, seats, carpet and hood, all set off by a glorious set of Alfaholic GTA-style alloys. With renowned Alfa Romeo specialists Alfaholics and Classic Alfa amongst others, having had a hand in the restoration, this outstanding Spider is ready to be enjoyed once again and with just 150 miles covered since completion, a period of 'running-in' is highly recommended to achieve the very best from this ever popular 1970s convertible. Accompanied by a large history file including restoration invoices and a ‘Certificato Di Origine’, your early inspection of this Alfa Romeo is highly recommended and encouraged to fully appreciate the opportunity available.   SpecificationMake: ALFA ROMEOModel: 2000 SPIDER VELOCEYear: 1975Chassis Number: AK2472189Registration Number: KLL 799NTransmission: ManualEngine Number: AR001178Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 14800 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

An iconic 1980s hot hatch with just one keeper from new and less than 1,000 miles. Surely the lowest-mileage XR3 left?No one could do go-faster quite like Ford, and at its unveiling in August 1980, the XR3 represented a master class in addenda-driven design. The whale-tail spoiler, the distinctive - soon to be iconic - cloverleaf alloy wheels both became instant classics. Its 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine was hailed as the height of modernity and could rustle up a whole 96bhp. Okay, it may have been less than 100bhp, but this was 1980 and in the XR3's defence, its 8.5sec 0-60mph time was quicker than the Golf GTI's, with 14bhp less.First registered on 1st August 1981 to it's one and only keeper, this superbly presented Ford XR3 has just been recommissioned, with new fuel and water pipes and a new exhaust system after being laid up when it had covered just 992 miles on the road between 1981 and 1984. It's finished in its original Diamond White, accented by the correct black plastic and rubber trims with factory sunroof, and sits on its original 14" Clover alloys.It's trimmed in red/grey laser cloth and has the the small two-spoke steering wheel which was fitted to the early cars. Its factory Philips 'P-Series' radio remains, along with factory features including climate control/ventilation, wind-down windows and a heated rear window. The Anthracite headlining, door cards, and carpeting show only minimal wear reflecting the super-low-mileage.Powered by Ford's (revolutionary at the time)1.6-litre Canted Valve Hemispherical chamber (CVH) engine mated to a twin-choke Weber carburettor which generated 96bhp at 6,000rpm offering 0-60 in 8.5 seconds and a top speed of 113mph. It's fitted with a 4-speed manual transmission which was standard on pre-February 1982 cars. This time-warp Ford is supplied with the original keys and the dealer book pack, as presented by Spate Ford of Malvern, including the service record detailing its one and only service.This superb XR3 would grace the home of any serious Ford collector or enthusiast, and will surely be one of the stars of any Blue Oval event. With less than 100 reported to be left on the road, is this the lowest-mileage XR3 left?SpecificationMake: FORDModel: XR3Year: 1981Chassis Number: WF0BXXGCABBR49532Registration Number: FUY 950XTransmission: ManualEngine Number: BR49532 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 992 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Lot 739

An original UK-supplied, right-hand drive, manual gearbox V12, carefully restored in the past.A decade after the original Jaguar E-type arrived, the design progressively matured through 1971 with the introduction of the Series 3. Designed to showcase the new smooth and torquey 5.3-litre engine, originally developed for Le Mans, the Series 3 cars were available as a Roadster (convertible) or a 2+2 Coupe. The Series 3 is easily identifiable by its large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tyres, a larger bonnet bulge, updated bumpers, four exhaust tips and a badge on the rear that proclaims it to be a V12. It also featured uprated brakes, power steering as standard and a large horizontal scoop added to the underside of the bonnet to assist with cooling. The interior was entirely new in the V12, with more comfortable seating, stylish new door panels and a smaller dished and leather-rimmed steering wheel. Being slightly larger and altogether much softer in nature, the E-type in Series 3 form had lost the wildness of its youth but gained the long-legged touring profile, to which it was arguably better suited.On offer here is an original UK-registered, right-hand drive Series 3 Roadster finished in Opalescent Silver with red hide and a black roof, complemented by the almost obligatory set of chrome wire wheels. Rolling off the production line in December 1971, the Jaguar was initially supplied through Ritchie’s of Glasgow and first registered with the very interesting registration number ‘7R’ which unfortunately no longer remains with the vehicle, however the present private registration, PDO 94, is to remain assigned to the E-Type once sold, an attractive addition. Restored some years ago to a very high standard, the Jaguar remains in outstanding condition throughout. The exterior paintwork is almost blemish free with the interior looking as if it has been freshly retrimmed. Mechanically we understand that it runs and drives superbly, underlined by bills and invoices detailing regular care and maintenance in recent years, including detailed paperwork from Corton-Miller of Boston, Lincolnshire, classic car specialists and tuning experts. Also in the history file are older registration documents, previous MOT Certificates, and a Heritage Certificate issued in 2021, as well as the original Handbook and Passport to Service.Finished in one of the most pleasing of E-Type colour schemes and with the desirable manual gearbox, PDO 94 is ready to enjoyed once again by its next custodian, be that at the local Classic Car Show or pressed into use as the Grand Tourer that it was always intended to be.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: SERIES 3 V12 ROADSTERYear: 1971Chassis Number: 1S1170Registration Number: PDO 94Transmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Red HideClick here for more details and images

Lot 649

The 'Sprint' was part of a series of ultra-hot and super-rare Ralliart-built UK cars; #001 with just 38,500 miles, in simply superb condition and with an impeccable service history.The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution was launched by Ralliart, Mitsubishi's rally car division, for the 1993 season and literally evolved over the years into one of the most successful rally cars of its era. By January 1999, the Lancer legend was already well established; the outgoing Evo V had proved its might, providing immense attitude, performance and tuning potential. The Evo VI used the same four-door bodyshell, four-wheel drive chassis and fantastic turbocharged powerplant packing a 276bhp punch.But now the Evolution was, at last, officially available in the UK, priced £25,940 through Ralliart dealers in GSR trim. It offered supercar-slaying statistics of 155mph top speed and sub-five second 0-60mph sprint. At its heart was the familiar 4G63 engine, now improved for durability and including new pistons with oil cooling channels, bigger oil cooler and intercooler. Likewise, the Lancer’s basic underpinnings remained, with trick AYC (Active Yaw Control), 320mm Brembo four-pot front brakes (300mm rear) with new 7.5x17' OZ wheels. The suspension was revised, with forged front arms and knuckles to reduce unsprung weight. Even the bodyshell was stiffened, with thicker steel and extra spot welds.Love or loathe the styling, you can’t deny an Evo VI looks purposeful. Its massive motorsport-spec front bumper now housed a wider mouth, with revised spot-lamps and offset number plate. Regular Evo side-skirts remained, but a new twin-blade rear wing was used to meet WRC regulations. Meanwhile, the GSR interior included black Recaro seats, climate control and blue gauges.By 1999/2000, such was the UK-demand for more potent incarnations, a series of ultra-hot, ultra-rare Evos were made available, including several Ralliart-built UK cars like the 320bhp RS Sprint, 340bhp Extreme, RSX (RS spec plus some GSR trim) and 380bhp RS450.The car presented here is a 2000 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI RS Sprint, being #001 of just 12 examples produced (a plaque on the lower dashboard denotes this), being fully (officially) fettled by Ralliart UK. As a Ralliart-tuned, limited edition rally icon (in appropriate Scotia White paintwork) it is hugely sought after; powered by a turbocharged 2-litre inline-four, tweaked to produce 330bhp (tuned by Ralliart, now featuring a titanium turbocharger, a modified ECU, ARP Racing conrod bolts, a HKS exhaust system, and a HKS air filter) coupled to a 5-speed gearbox and a limited-slip differential. It also features shorter gear ratios and a quicker steering rack, while the A/C, electric windows, electric door mirrors, central locking, and rear wiper have been omitted to save weight; it is fitted with the optional OZ Racing ‘GSR’ wheels and a twin-plate clutch.The car is accompanied by a comprehensive maintenance history, including a full service and underside restoration in 2021, and a major timing belt service with CPP Motorsport in October 2019, its original Owner’s Manuals, spare key and Bill of Sale, along with correspondence to the original customer, and eight x MOT Certificates.The car underwent a full service and underside restoration in 2021; prior to this, in October 2019 at 38,400 miles, CPP Motorsport replaced the oils and cambelt, before replacing the balance shaft belt. Full service history below:Oct 2019 - CPP Motorsport - 38,400 milesJun 2004 - GTO Evolution - 32,534 milesMar 2004 - GTO Evolution - 31,720 milesOct 2003 - Xtreme Automobiles - 29,126 milesJan 2003 - Xtreme Automobiles - 27,008 milesDec 2002 - MA Developments - UnrecordedFeb 2002 - Ralliart UK - 20,765 milesAug 2001 - Ralliart UK - 18,283 milesMar 2001 - Ralliart UK - 14,267 milesFeb 2001 - Ralliart UK - 11,445 milesNov 2000 - Ralliart UK – 9,562Aug 2000 - Ralliart UK - 5,468 milesMar 2000 - Global Autosport - 1,430 milesThe Evo VI's candle burned brightly for a mere two years before being replaced in March 2001 by the Evo VII. For many, the Evo VI remains the pinnacle of Mitsubishi Evo design for its style, aggression, and usability. An Evo VI is a car that, even today can comfortably cover ground faster than almost anything else on the road.SpecificationMake: MITSUBISHIModel: LANCER EVOLUTION VI RS SPRINTYear: 2000Chassis Number: JMYSNCP9A000648Registration Number: V524 POBTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 4G63YX8088 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 39000 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Lot 751

Very well-presented, fully restored early-S3 Esprit in Lotus’ iconic JPS colours, reportedly painted by the factory in-period.The Esprit S3 was officially unveiled at the British International Motor Show at the NEC Birmingham in October 1981 and, like its predecessors, it was designed by the legendary automotive engineer Giorgetto Giugiaro as an early example of his polygonal folded paper designs. The Esprit S3 gained popularity for its distinctive wedge-shaped body and advanced engineering, captivating enthusiasts worldwide. As an evolution of its predecessors, the Esprit S3 solidified Lotus' position as a pioneer in the realm of lightweight, high-performance sports cars.Despite the styling remaining relatively similar to the previous generation S2 Esprit, the S3 saw a host of upgrades and benefits. Mechanically, it featured a more powerful (Type 912) 2.2-litre inline four-cylinder engine offering 160bhp mated to a 5-speed gearbox and, weighing just 1,000kg, the performance was spritely, with 0-60mph taking just 6.7 seconds. Cosmetically the S3 received redesigned front and rear bumpers, side-skirts and front spoiler, with the interior revised to provide more headroom and additional space in the footwells.This handsome early S3 was purchased by our vendor in August 2021 on 91,000 miles, and came with a quintessentially Lotus story on how it was painted in JPS colours. Having managed to trace back the car's lineage, our vendor found himself speaking with the son of the original owner of the car, who told the story of how his father took delivery of XRE 383X, a brand-new Jupiter Red S3. Within six months of ownership, he became so fed up with the car breaking down that it was sent back to Lotus to fully disassemble and re-assemble to iron out any issues, and reportedly, as a goodwill gesture, the factory also resprayed it in the JPS colours the car wears today at the owner’s request. However, upon taking delivery of their freshly rebuilt and repainted car, it continued to break down in the following three months to the extent that the AA recovered the car back to Lotus who provided a full refund.Shortly after our vendors purchase, a restoration was undertaken to return the car to its former glory having been believed to be lost/stored in a garage for 18-years. The restoration process was extensive with a full respray including the engine bay, door shuts and wheels by AD Panelcraft in Milton Keynes. The interior was stripped, with the leather either retrimmed or restored, and a new carpet set in the correct Blenheim Champagne colour was added, as well as a new gear knob and headlining. The gauges were taken out and restored in addition to a new heater surround and matrix due to corrosion spots.Mechanically, the car is in lovely condition with the main components having been addressed. A new clutch and cambelt were installed ensuring improved performance and reliability. The engine received a thorough service and freshen-up, bringing it back to its optimal condition including a new SU fuel pump. The car sits on AVO front and rear adjustable dampers with standard front callipers and a VW rear calliper conversion with new cables by PNM Motorsport as the handbrake mechanism wasn’t working. Bushes and ball joints have been replaced as required to ensure the whole driving experience is as flawless as its overall appearance.Presented to market in the wonderfully iconic JPS black and gold colours, complemented by the refreshed champagne leather interior and very attractively-guided, this Esprit is surely a worthy addition to any collection or perhaps just drive and enjoy it.SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ESPRITYear: 1982Chassis Number: SCC085912CHD11278Registration Number: XRE 383XTransmission: ManualEngine Number: CC912820320179 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 91650 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: CreamClick here for more details and images
