1964 FERRARI 330 GT 2+2 SERIES 1 Registration Number: BVN 781B Chassis number: 5863GT Recorded Mileage: 43,000 miles - Matching numbers, UK delivered from new - One of only c. 20 known surviving RHD examples - In current ownership since 1971 Replacing the 250 GTE 2+2 and the limited-production 330 America was the Ferrari 330 GT 2+2, making its first public appearance at the Brussels Salon in January 1964. This new model helped carry on the success of the 2+2 models of the immediate past with several key updates, in hopes of seeing an increase in sales over the 250 GTE 2+2. Ferrari’s new four-seater featured a completely new body style from Pininfarina, one that was very distinctive from the other Ferrari models on sale at the time. The easiest way to identify the first-series 330 GT 2+2 is by its quad headlight front end. The Series II cars did not adopt quad headlamps, which was the easiest way to idenify them. The public did not warm to them and so no other future Ferrari used quad headlamps. Other notable cosmetic changes include more angular nose and tail sections from the 250 GTE 2+2 and the introduction of a wider front grille to help increase airflow to the engine. Following in the footsteps of the 330 America in terms of its drivetrain, the 330 GT 2+2 featured a four-litre V12 engine mated to the existing four-speed-plus overdrive transmission as in the 250 GTE. Its wheelbase was increased by two inches, and with the installation of Koni adjustable shock absorbers, handling improved immensely. The 330 GT 2+2 remains one of Ferrari’s finest four-passenger touring cars - with its 300-horsepower, 4.0-litre engine, the 330 is powerful yet easy to drive around town, while its luxurious appointments make the car as suited to today’s road tours and events as when it was new. The 330 GT 2+2 still provides a great opportunity to enter into classic V12 Ferrari ownership at a reasonable price. An early RHD 'Series 1' model, chassis number '5863' was delivered new on 1st August 1964 to Maranello Concessionaires on St. Swithin’s Lane in the City of London. Finished in a dark shade of Blu Scuro with a stylish red leather interior, the 330 was soon to be despatched to its first private owner, the Scottish businessman Sir John "Jack" Stewart-Clark, who kept the Ferrari for a two or so years before moving the car on to its next custodian. Changing hands a few times during the 1960s, during which time the 330 had been repainted from dark blue to a sportier shade of red, in October 1971 our current vendor Peter chased up a classified ad placed by a dealer in London’s Notting Hill for a “Ferrari 330 Sports”. According to the seller, the car was a “fabulous looker” and “a snip” at a mere £1,750! Our man, a devoted Italian classic car enthusiast and collector, promptly bought the Ferrari and took to the road. After purchase, and knowing that the clutch needed adjustment, upon removing the gearbox it transpired more than a new new clutch was needed, the flywheel was blue with radial cracks after only a thousand miles use, and more work than that was immediately revealed. Other than the necessary work at the time, the 330 had some later work in 1987 and at the time a new MoT certificate obtained. The doors had previously been lightened in 1973, at which point new perspex windows were also fitted, with a sliding panel to the driver's window to enable pit signals in light competition use. However the car never raced and remained with a number of other exotic Italian classic cars in the collection. After 51 years of ownership, and due to a general desire to thin out his collection, our vendor has finally decided the time is right to find a new home for his 330 GT. In August 2022, in preparation for sale, an engineer was brought in to wake the slumbering V12 engine. After careful preparation, and some work to the carburettors and fueling, the engine was turned over and instantly burst into life,. Whilst largely complete the brakes are disconnected and the car lacks its door furniture. In recognition of this our vendor has asked for the pre-auction estimate to be reduced accordingly. In largely solid and well preserved condition, this hugely stylish, understated classic GT car of the 1960s is the perfect candidate for full restoration to original condition. The 330 is supplied with a record of continuous ownership from new, a copy of the original buff logbook and an original Ferrari 330 brochure. A UK V5C will need to be applied for, which Dore & Rees are happy to assist with if required.

1965 JAGUAR C-TYPE BY PROTEUS Registration Number: CHG 635C Chassis Number: 1B54867DN/CC2121 Recorded Mileage: Under 50 road miles from new - All-aluminium single-door period Le Mans chassis by Proteus - 3.8 litre Jaguar engine with triple Weber carburettors - Running in mileage only since completion Where else to start but with legendary test driver Norman Dewis. Whilst testing a C-Type for The Motor, he summed the new model up thus: "Within a very few hours of first acquaintance, the experienced driver feels well able to travel at speeds in excess of 120mph whenever the road traffic conditions render such motoring prudent…as the speed climbs beyond the 130 mark, the car does tend to feel a little light, but the curious sense of becoming faintly airborne is offset by no loss whatever in directional controls. At such speed there is no shake or even tremble in the body nor is there anything to indicate that much higher speeds would not feel equally safe to the occupants in the car. The driving of the Jaguar XK120C on the motor roads of Europe is in fact a great and memorable experience." Built in a remarkably short space of time, the first ever competition model from Jaguar, the C-type brought the firm international recognition in motor racing. Following Leslie Johnson’s impressive outing at the 1950 Le Mans in an XK120 S, management approved the development of a new racing model based on the XK, initially named the XK 120 C, the model was later known as the C-Type. The new model started with an all-new lightweight tubular space frame, redesigned rear suspension and an upgraded 3.4-litre engine with a new cylinder head, high-lift camshafts, racing pistons and a side-exit dual exhaust system. Stylist Malcolm Sayers designed the wonderful coachwork with the classic elliptical grill. Three factory C-Types were entered into Le Mans in 1951, two retiring early but Peter Walker’s and Peter Whitehead’s car pressed on for victory, becoming the first British car to win Le Mans in almost 20 years. Duncan Hamilton returned in 1953 in his Weber-carburetor fed “Lightweight” to win again, meanwhile Jaguar built a further 40 or so customer cars. Rare, beautiful and historically significant, the C-Type was a true watershed moment in the evolution of post-war racing sports cars. Unsurprisingly there remains a healthy level of interest in authentic replicas of this rare and exotic racer. Originally named ‘Copycat’, Proteus was founded in 1980 by architect Jim Marland, the company being re-named as Proteus in 1983. Over the years Proteus developed a reputation for building some of the finest Jaguar C-Type recreations available, ultimately focusing entirely on the production of this vehicle. In true Jaguar XK120-C tradition, the Proteus features a tubular chassis with a lightweight aluminium body, period Jaguar engine and drivetrain, and authentic period design details such as the leather bonnet straps, original-style dials, wire wheels on spinners and a Le-Mans style fuel filler. The Proteus was always supremely quick, with a quoted 260 BHP, and was capable of reaching 0-60 in a shade over five seconds. Each car was built to customer specifications, with various options for colour and trim. Only around twenty cars were built each year, making the Proteus C-type both rare and desirable. The build of this fabulous Proteus C-Type started over 20 years ago, the basis being frame number CC2121, an earlier Proteus C-Type replica chassis, with a lightweight all-aluminium single door “Le Mans” body and vented bonnet. The former owner, a prominent historic racer and collector, and custodian of a genuine factory C-Type, was exacting in his requirements for this pet project. In addition to its lightweight body, our car features a 3.4 litre XK engine with period-correct triple Weber carburettors, a four-speed gearbox with overdrive, live rear axle, 16” wire wheels and disc brakes on each corner. Early in the build the owner was dissatisfied with the fit and shape of the bonnet supplied, and so commissioned a brand new aluminium bonnet by CMC of Bridgenorth, complete with authentic Le Mans 1953 scoop to feed its thirsty Webers. The car was actually completed in the early 2000s, but was subsequently dry stored for some years before being recently recommissioned in preparation for road use. This wonderful example presents very nicely with only the slightest evidence of road use and age. The paint shows an excellent finish throughout, capturing the fluidity of the undulating lines as achieved over 70 years ago. The construction of the body panels is exceptional, with excellent fit and finish, authentic and attractive exterior trim and lighting, a properly nested side exhaust, clear headlight covers, and correctly painted wire wheels. The aircraft-inspired cockpit is focused, purposeful and engaging, the low windscreen and additional aero-screens effectively transport you back to this golden era of motor racing. Climbing in creates a sense of racing heritage and purposeful features; neatly clustered instruments sit behind an attractive wooden steering wheel. The authentic green leather seats sit neatly in the cockpit, revealing just a few painted frame tubes, a reminder of the C-Type’s racing heritage. Under the bonnet, the engine features prominently with its Weber carburettors, a handmade aluminium airbox, polished cam covers and tubular exhaust manifolds. Finished in a correct shade of Jaguar racing green, this is a highly accurate replica of the original 1953 winner, finished to an exceptional standard and with only a handful of shakedown miles since completion. The C-Type is supplied with invoices totalling over £40,000 for its build, with much work in period by specialist Legends Racing of Cheltenham (is in addition to the initial cost of the base Proteus chassis/body and donor engine, transmission and drivetrain). The car has been serviced in September 2022 to ensure proper operation and driveability, and fitted with a new starter motor, fuel pumps and lines, attention to the suspension, carburation and running, and new Blockley tyres on each corner. A masterpiece of automotive design and racing excellence, the Jaguar C-Type is a car only a few in the world can truly aspire to. This highly authentic replica offers the enthusiast to live the 1950s Le Mans dream in what is effectively a barely run-in example of the marque. This super C-Type will be supplied with UK V5C, new MOT certificate and file of invoices detailing its older build and recent expenditure.

1946 STANDARD FLYING EIGHT SALOON Chassis Number: NA2121DL Registration Number: KPC 288 Recorded Mileage: 3,690 miles - Rare early post-war example - Nicely restored in current ownership The smallest member of the Standard Flying family, the Flying Eight was launched just prior to the 1938 Motor Show at Earls Court in October of that year. It was a brand new design, marking Standard's first entry into the tax-busting 8 hp market. The frame was all new, with box section longitudinals, and independent front suspension (ifs) by a transverse leaf spring. The 1,021cc engine put out a heady 31bhp through a 3 speed gearbox and stopped with Bendix mechanical brakes operated by cables. Two versions were available from the launch of the model: A two-door all-steel saloon, and a 2/4-seat open tourer, with a drophead coupe from 1939. The 8 hp model, now without the Flying name, was rapidly re-introduced after the Second World War with the first models appearing within ten days of VE day. The only major update from the pre-war model involved the fitting of a 4-speed gearbox. The car was pitched by Standard against the Austin 8 and Morris Eight rivals, and was priced at £314. The 8 was phased out when the new Triumph Mayflower was launched in 1949. A slow seller, it was soon replaced by the new Standard Eight in 1953. This very early post-war model was first registered in January 1946 in the London area, later finding its way down to South West England and the ownership of a classic car collector near Frome. In current ownership the Standard has been restored to a very good standard, The black coachwork retains a lovely shine, and the retrimmed interior in tobacco leather presents extremely nicely with little signs of any wear. Dry stored since the passing of the former owner, the Standard will no doubt benefit from some light recommissioning before being used on the road once more. This charming little motor car is offered with its original buff log book and several period instruction books and data sheets.

Bentley Racing TourerRegistration number: BLT 988Chassis registered with Bentley owners club in 1934VIN number: U5BHEngine number: NAChassis Number: B80CR(Original Engine Number: U5BH)MOT expires: NANew Version V5C present listing no former keepersCurrent mileage shown4900ccGreenthe 3½ litre Bentley with chassis number B80 CR was delivered in January 1935 with engine no U5BH, carrying a 4-door saloon body constructed by Arthur Mulliner of Northampton and registration number BLT 988. Arthur Mulliner constructed 41 bodies for Derby Bentleys between 1934 and 1939, 39 saloons and 2 fixed head coupes. Very few of their original bodies have survived, maybe 10 or fewer. In 1939 they were bought by Henlys and ceased coachbuilding after 179 years, their origins being traced back to 1760. B80 CR was ordered by H M Bentley & Partners of Hanover Court, London W1 and was sold to D E Pelly Esq of Yew Tree Cottage, Higham, Colchester, Essex. B80 CR replaced Mr Pelly’s earlier Park Ward special drophead coupe B90 AH, also supplied through H M Bentley & Partners in May 1934. The chassis card (copy attached) shows that the car was returned to H M Bentley & Partners two years later, traded in for B1 HM, a 4 ¼ litre Bentley with standardised All Steel saloon coachwork by Park Ward. B80 CR was then sold later in 1937 to a J. Heber Percy, a diplomat at the British Embassy in Alexandria Egypt who kept it until 1945. This may well have been Josceline Reginald Heber-Percy, born 1880 in the Isle of Wight, brought up at Hodnet Hall in Shopshire, who married a cousin in Warwick in 1904, had two daughters and a son before serving in WWI first with the Northumberland Fusiliers, and then with the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders and rising to the rank of Captain. He later became Deputy Lieutenant of Warwickshire. He died in 1964.This beautifully built Bentley based on a 1930’s Derby chassis took its inspiration for the 1920’s TT model. Early success in the 1922 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, when Bentleys finished second, fourth and fifth to take the Team Prize, led to the introduction of the TT Replica (later known as the Speed Model) The current owner has spent years creating an impressive and capable, sporting special which bares all the correct features and proportions of a vintage machine. Importantly this car has a prewar identity and coupled up with a 1950s 4.9 litre engine it performs as well if not better than a 1920's four and a quarter litre. Originally registered BLT 988 in 1935 on an Arthur Mulliner four door saloon, it was found in the mid 1990s as a derelict barn find. All that remained was the original chassis, bulkhead, axles and bonnet.. This was the perfect base for a sporting 1920s special and the new owner lovingly and diligently created the perfect 1920's style replica. The car is finished extremely well sporting a period style, fabric body and accurate wings. The interior is trimmed beautifully in green leather and the dashboard sports the correct style period dials .On the road it sounds glorious and has huge amounts of power capable of keeping up with modern traffic.
