Very smart P1 in lovely original condition with 23 stamps in the book.Built at Subaru's Fuji Heavy Industries plant in Japan and honed by rally royalty, Prodrive, the Impreza P1 was always destined to become the hugely desirable modern classic that we rightfully see it as today. Built in a limited run of just 1,000 cars, every one featured the iconic Blue Mica paintwork, Anthracite 17-inch OZ racing wheels and a plethora of upgrades and unique features. It's easy to see why the P1 has gained such a cult following.Based on the two-door bodyshell, with the aerodynamics enhanced by Peter Stevens of McLaren F1 fame, beefier running gear and a fabulous suspension setup by Prodrive, the P1 has more in common with the legendary Impreza 22B than its larger four-door Impreza WRX contemporaries. Developed with British B-roads in mind, by the very same company which helped the likes of the late Colin McRae, the late Richard Burns and Petter Solberg win World Rally Championships, the Prodrive One was intended to counter the wave of grey-import STI Type Rs coming from Japan.The upgrades to the P1 were extensive, but not intrusive. The list includes a more powerful 280bhp engine (up 69bhp from a standard Impreza Turbo), mated to a 5-speed manual transmission with longer gearing, and ABS brakes meaning the difference between a standard Impreza and a P1 is minimal. Further upgrades include a big-bore exhaust, quick-shift gear linkage, 17-inch titanium-finish alloy wheels and a rally-proven suspension set-up. With the sprint from 0-60 taking just 4.66 seconds, the P1 certainly has the bite to match the bark.First registered on 1st September 2000, this P1 presents exceptionally well in totally standard specification bar a stainless steel exhaust and has just four former keepers who have covered around 94,000 miles between them. It has been meticulously looked after, with our vendor describing the service history as impeccable with 23 service stamps from new. The engine is completely as Subaru delivered it with all of the engine bay covers and guards all in place.With soaring prices of Japanese domestic market cars, and 22Bs heading well north of £100,000 in recent years, this really smart, low-mileage, P1 seems exceptionally good value in comparison, and is ready to carry on doing the things that Imprezas do best.SpecificationMake: SUBARUModel: IMPREZAYear: 2000Chassis Number: JF1GM8KDGYG002832Registration Number: X424 BPATransmission: Manual Engine Number: 822168 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 94000 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Unregistered and unrepeatable. Just 143 recorded miles from new. Sourced for the current owner in the 1980s by classic car stalwart, Mike Ayling, this unregistered MGB Roadster, Chassis No GVADJIAG/18012 had been purchased by its first owner as a potential investment and never registered, however the original V5/55 Application for first registration is still present together with the original handbook and Heritage Certificate.  Mike had been tasked by a good friend with finding a trio of cars to be correctly preserved until his three youngest grandchildren reached their respective 21st birthdays at which point they would receive a brand new MGB as a present. What a lovely idea. He was able to find two delivery mileage, MGB Roadsters (one black and one white) and they were immediately prepared for a long hibernation, however it took nearly six months to persuade the owner of this Snapdragon Yellow car to part with it.In Mike's words "I collected the car myself from Gloucestershire and trailered it back to Fernhurst where it was subjected to the same deep preservation as the black and white MGBs. The fuel tank was filled with paraffin, the engine overfilled with oil and the carburretors filled with a light preservation oil. The car was then totally Waxoyled three times and then transported to my friend’s garage where my technician, Jeffrey Bull, and I laid the base of the Carcoon, placed the car on axle stands inflated the Carcoon and left it for the next 35 years. I visited the garage frequently and checked on all three  cars, turned the wheels, serviced the Carcoon fans and put them all back to bed."The grandson who inherited the yellow MGB is a non-driver and lives in London so he has recently decided to sell the vehicle. It was removed from storage and fully recommissioned, remaining in true time-warp order with the delivery mileage of just 143 miles still showing on the speedometer! However, there was one concern. Again in Mike's words ''When I originally sold the car to Richard,  I provided my friend's personal assistant with the documentation, all of which was complete, together with two sets of keys and various documents including a brief on the history and details of what had been done to the car in terms of storage activity. Sadly, with the passage of time and my friend in his late ‘90s, some of the documents and keys were misplaced. I was then tasked with the problem of obtaining new keys, however, fortunately I remembered that MGBs were produced with a spare ignition key secured to the bulkhead, under the bonnet with a self-tapping screw. I went to look at the car, removed the Carcoon, which had provided more than 35 years exemplary service, lifted the bonnet and finally found the key. If you look now at the car, you will see the outline of the key on the bulkhead, evidenced by the shadow in the underseal! This is the key which comes with the car now. From the chassis number I was able to obtain keys for both the door and the boot."This remarkable MGB is now resplendent once again, wide awake and ready for the next part of its journey. Your earliest inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate this piece of MG history.SpecificationMake: MGModel: MGB 1.8 ROADSTERYear: 1980Chassis Number: GVADJ1AG/18012Registration Number: UNREGISTERED - GVADJ1AG/18012Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 18V-847-F-H/37215Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 143 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Silver Grey ClothClick here for more details and images

An official UK Ralliart car, with a single owner from new, in standard condition, just 26,000 miles; the 'grail' Evo VI!It wasn't until the launch of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI (more commonly referred to as the Evo VI GSR) that the Japanese firm entered the consciousness of a wider spectrum of rally enthusiasts. The first Evo to be officially available in the UK, the Mitsubishi Evo VI was launched in January 1999. From May 1999, UK cars were imported by Mitsubishi Motors and prepared by Ralliart UK (a new company offering closer ties with the UK importer that saw the opening of a small number of Ralliart dealers; even cars sold through Ralliart UK were still subject to Single Vehicle Approval (SVA), which was carried out on behalf of customers). Most came as GSR-spec, but a cheaper RSX model was also launched to combat the draw of Subaru’s keenly-priced Impreza rival. The ‘standard’ Evo VI GSR stole enthusiasts’ hearts from the get-go, its 2.0-litre turbocharged engine produced 276bhp (although it’s accepted that it was closer to 300bhp), and 275lbft. Fed through all four wheels via a 5-speed gearbox, it made the 1,360kg car fast and exciting. The key was its generous cooling. Not only did the Evo VI have a bigger intercooler, oil cooler and radiator than the Evo V, but it also had enlarged ducts in the front bumper, made possible by locating the number-plate to the side. That told anyone also considering a Subaru Impreza WRX that the Evo VI was ‘serious’. It certainly was, now fitted with a new ECU and permanent four-wheel drive with Active Yaw Control (AYC) that gave physics-defying handling by minimising oversteer and understeer, and a practical four-door body, the Evo immediately gave Subaru a bloody nose. It also helped it crack 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds and head on to 150mph (rather than the 112mph limited top speed of many Japanese imported models). Its body was stiffened with 130 additional spot welds and thicker gauge steel. The front suspension was improved with stronger, forged front knuckles the rear with forged aluminium to reduce unsprung weight.With a price tag of £30,995 when it officially went on sale in the UK, the Evo VI proved a performance bargain. In addition to its WRC-inspired mechanicals, it had showroom-friendly features such as climate control, Recaro sports seats and electric windows and mirrors. The 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.The car presented here is a 1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR, car #149 (denoted by its service booklet and gearstick plaque) supplied to the UK-market via Ralliart UK. Finished in Ichelle Blue it was sold via Mitsubishi Motors Reading on 25th March 1999 to its one-and-only owner (our vendor), who applied the registration S666 EVO to it. The car is today still in factory-standard condition, having covered just 26,724 (verifiable) miles (atoc) with early Mitsubishi service history (followed by trusted local independents), accompanied by its original Ralliart service booklet and Mitsubishi sales invoice. Our vendor was an early advocate of the abilities of the Evo VI and was invited, with other customers, by Mitsubishi on a specially chartered flight to Rotterdam to inspect and drive their respective cars. The cars were then brought into the UK, fettled by Ralliart, and given to owners via the specialist dealerships. Our vendor has owned and enjoyed this car ever since, ensuring it has always been garaged and well-maintained. After being garaged and not used (but regularly run-up) for a number of years, it benefitted from £1,700-worth of recommissioning work in June 2021, including an engine flush, a full oil/fluid and filters service, a new battery, new timing/auxiliary belts, a new v/belt tensioner, new spark plugs, and new brake hoses.The car is now absolutely ready to go and be enjoyed by a new owner. It drives and performs particularly well, as well as you might expect from such a cosseted example. This special car - with its conscientious single ownership history and superb original condition - would make a shrewd purchase given the market growth for rare rally-derived modern-classics. Not to be missed!SpecificationMake: MITSUBISHIModel: LANCER EVOLUTION VIYear: 1999Chassis Number: CP9A1012568Registration Number: S666 EVOTransmission: Manual Engine Number: 4G63-YT0350 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 26000 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Meticulously cared-for, Moonstone Blue, RS Cosworth, fresh from £8,000 worth of mechanical recommissioning by respected marque specialists.At its introduction in 1982, the Sierra's revolutionary new shape proved a touch more divisive than Ford had anticipated and some serious marketing became a priority, so it was the obvious choice to become the platform for Ford's new competition aspirations in conjunction with Cosworth. It fitted the brief well as it was rear-wheel drive, had good aerodynamics, albeit being prone to lift at high speeds and was available as a three-door. The new body kit and rear spoiler would sort out the lift issues but, more importantly, Ford still needed to build 5,000 units for homologation, somewhat worrying when the company's initial approach to the dealer network came back with an estimate that suggested they could sell around 1,500 units! The eventual sales record is, of course, history. Ford went on to sell 5,545 three-door cars including the RS500, of which only 500 were built, and the Cosworth engine also found its way into nearly 30,000 Ford Sierra Saloons (Cosworth 3dr, Sapphire 2wd, and 4wd).This lovely Sierra RS Cosworth was supplied new on 15th May 1987 finished in desirable Moonstone Blue and appears to have been looked after all its days which is not always the case with these cars. It was kept in dry storage for 11 years between 2006 and 2017 when its owner, at the time, moved the car to his business premises and began a gentle tidying over a period of months. The interior was completely stripped, painted internally, refreshed and put back together, the underside was cleaned and the wheels were refurbished. We understand that within the car's history file there are over 100 images of this work being carried out.The car was purchased by our vendor in 2020 and, although its cosmetic condition was fantastic, it had hardly been used since going into storage in 2006 and consequently was in need of mechanical recommissioning. At an indicated mileage of 63,995, it was entrusted to specialists Obsessive Car Care in Northampton who, in addition to carrying out a full cambelt service, fitted new cam pulley seals, phase sensor, distributor cap, rotor arm, full set of high-quality ignition leads, crank sensor, water temp sensor, coil, ignition module and an air charge sensor. Many parts were from Burton Engineering or Graham Goode Racing. At this point, a tiny core-plug leak was detected from the rear of the engine, so a new core-plug was fitted along with a top-of-the-range new original-spec clutch from Graham Goode Racing. As leading Cosworth specialists, Graham Goode were asked by our vendor to thoroughly inspect and road test the car and recommend anything they felt was necessary. Most of this work was carried out in 2021 and we understand around £8,000 was invested in bringing the 'Cossie' back to full health.The history file also contains the original Ford service books, stamped to 30,000 miles, over 100 images of the car, including the underside showing it to be in very good condition, photos showing the interior being stripped, refreshed and put back together, and an original instruction manual in a ring binder. Presenting very well and driving even better, this is a fabulous all-round example at a reasonable guide, especially looking at the trajectory these desirable Cosworths have been on in recent years. SpecificationMake: FORDModel: SIERRA RS COSWORTHYear: 1986Chassis Number: WF0FXXGBBFGT50786Registration Number: D848 UODTransmission: ManualEngine Number: GT50786Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 64125 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey ClothClick here for more details and images

The original Turbo. One of only 74, UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 3-litre cars presented in gleaming black with olive green leather and on offer from 43 years single private ownership.This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of one of only 74 right-hand drive, 3-litre 930 Turbos supplied directly to the UK. Offered directly from 43-years single private ownership (just two owners in total) and spectacularly presented in solid Schwartz (700) paintwork with an olive green leather interior and matched green carpets, possibly unique in this colour combination. Whilst in the ownership of our vendor, this rare classic Porsche has been enjoyed regularly and always maintained by the same expert Porsche specialists who know the car rather well.In 1997, the decision was taken to undertake a full bare-metal body restoration to have the old 911 looking its best once again. Our vendor confirms that in his ownership the Turbo has had no accident damage and during the restoration no evidence of damage was discovered. Two new front wings, new front and rear bumpers were expertly replaced and a nearside Porsche door mirror fitted (for safety) before the original colour was re-applied. The windscreen was replaced with one which has an integrated aerial, so the new offside wing has not been drilled for a conventional aerial. The front fog lights were removed and replaced with Cibie driving lights, which are activated when main beam is selected, giving excellent road illumination. A detailed invoice supports the works carried out over 317 hours which cost £5,388 in total, and this is accompanied by a portfolio of 39 photographs documenting the restoration. At 72,493 miles the speedometer failed and a new unit was fitted, however, the original unit is included in the sale and, when combined, the total mileage recorded is c.103,610. For the last 43 years, the cosseted Turbo has been dry stored in a temperature-controlled garage when not in use and as such remains beautifully preserved since the restoration and ready to offer another 40+ years of enjoyable motoring.Presented for auction having just had a major engine-out service and detailed mechanical check-over which included removing and refurbishing the turbo, replacing brake pipes, new calipers and the brake master cylinder (£7,000).Accompanied by a large history file including service invoices dating back to 1979, a wealth of old MOT certificates, its Porsche wallet with manuals, the original tool kit, original jack and spare wheel, original tyre compressor, original first aid kit (unused), original spare bulb kit and original tyre pressure gauge. A copy of Porsche Post  from Summer 1979 is also included with chassis #181 featuring on the cover.This stunning and significant early 911 Turbo is now available as the owner is simply ready for something a little less on the ‘wild side’. A special opportunity to take ownership of this magnificent piece of Porsche history.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 901/930Year: 1976Chassis Number: 9307700181Registration Number: TSO 283RTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: GreenClick here for more details and images

An older restoration to a show standard, this delightful 400 would make a fast and stylish entry in next year's Mille Miglia.Imitation is said to be the most sincere form of flattery, however, it seems a little unlikely that BMW's engineers felt particularly gratified when the Bristol Car Company obtained the rights to their automotive designs as part of Germany's post-WW2 reparations. Although there was undoubtedly a significant input from the bright aeronautical engineers at Bristol, the 400, which commenced production in 1947, was effectively a synthesis of three pre-war BMW designs, with a chassis derived from that of the 326, an engine from the 328 sports car and an aerodynamic bodyshell similar to that of the 327 coupé. The 1,971cc six-cylinder engine of the BMW 328 featured an ingenious new cylinder head, designed by Rudolf Schleicher, incorporating hemispherical combustion chambers and inclined valves without recourse to overhead, or twin camshafts. Instead, the Type 319 engine's single block-mounted camshaft and pushrod valve actuation were retained, thus avoiding an expensive redesign. Two rocker shafts were employed, one situated above each bank of valves, giving the engine an external appearance almost indistinguishable from that of a twin-overhead-cam design. Downdraft inlet ports contributed to the motor's deep breathing, and its tunability made it a popular choice for British racing car constructors, most notably Cooper, during the 1950s. Externally, Bristol's Type 85A clone of the BMW motor differed little from the German original, the most obvious difference being the adoption of SU, rather than Solex, carburettors part way through production. The most significant changes made by the Bristol designers were metallurgical, their utilisation of the highest quality materials contributing to increased engine life. A maximum output of 80bhp at 4,200rpm was claimed, which was good enough for a top speed of around 95mph.The 400's aerodynamically efficient body was constructed of steel panels on a wooden frame, with the doors, bonnet and boot-lid skinned in aluminium. Beneath the skin, the chassis boasted independent front suspension by single upper wishbones and lower transverse leaf-springs, whilst torsion bars located within the chassis members controlled the live rear axle. Contrasting with the exterior's modern appearance, the traditional wood-embellished interior was reminiscent of an earlier age. In total, 474 Bristol 400s were made between 1947 and 1950 with, it's believed, around 120 still on the road. Dating from 1948, Chassis number #460-180, on offer here, is indeed one of those original cars. It has recently benefitted from a full bodywork refurbishment with any corrosion and rust being fully addressed and removed prior to being finished to a very high standard in a lovely shade of light metallic green (an Aston Martin colour we believe possibly California Sage). The interior has been refurbished with the same attention to detail as the bodywork and looks simply spectacular in fresh Biscuit hide piped in Chocolate with matching door cards, headlining and a new carpet. The wooden dash has been removed and refinished, all instrumentation is period and in good working order and a full tool kit is in its appointed place in a box in the engine bay. The boot has also benefitted from all this attention and looks splendid with new Cinnamon carpets edged in Chocolate.For over a decade, this lovely 400 has been the property of a well known Morgan dealer's family and has been properly looked after and fettled as required to a far higher standard than one might expect from less fastidious owners. In our vendor's words "You simply have to drive it to experience how good the taut handling is and how well the motor pulls though the lovely synchromesh gear box. It feels more like 1970 than 1948."Mille Miglia eligible, this car would make a stylish, fast and comfortable entrant to the famed event. This is undoubtedly the best example of a 400 we have seen and, although prepared to a show standard, JYM II remains a practical and versatile post-war classic.SpecificationMake: BRISTOLModel: 400Year: 1948Chassis Number: 460-180Registration Number: TBATransmission: ManualEngine Number: 850 1238Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Biscuit LeatherClick here for more details and images

One of just 38 right-hand drive cars produced and offered to auction with 26,200 miles.By the 1960s, Rolls-Royce had finally accepted that many owners might actually prefer to drive their own cars, launching the Silver Shadow with owner-driver comfort in mind, and no doubt appreciated by those chauffeurs still in service. The two-door convertible version of the Silver Shadow soon followed and has been without argument the most successful convertible ever produced by Rolls-Royce. First introduced in 1966 as the "Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward two-door, drop head coupé", it eventually became apparent by popular demand that this version deserved to have its own model name so, after a few cosmetic changes in 1971, the Corniche was born. Whilst the Coupé was discontinued in 1980, the Corniche Convertible was produced until 1995, remaining largely unchanged cosmetically, with a production total of 5,678 convertible cars.The purchase of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd, by Volkswagen in 1998 may have raised a few eyebrows but it secured the future of not just Rolls-Royce but also Bentley, a roaring success that surely would have pleased old W.O. himself. The licensing and production agreement between Volkswagen and BMW came to an end in 2003, and the two brands went their separate ways with Rolls-Royce production moving to the new BMW-owned factory in Goodwood, launching the V12-powered Phantom later that year whilst Volkswagen spearheaded Bentley’s new chapter, one of the most significant relaunches of a brand in living memory. Only one new Rolls-Royce model was produced under Volkswagen holding ownership, the Corniche V, and the last Rolls so named.Launched in 2000 with a list price at of £300,000, the most expensive car then offered by Rolls-Royce, the Corniche V has many unique distinctions, not least being the last V8 powered Rolls-Royce, with the 6.75-litre engine enhanced by a turbocharger borrowed from Bentley. Whilst sharing design elements with the Silver Seraph it was based on the Bentley Azure’s platform. The Corniche V remains one of the rarest models produced by Rolls-Royce, and out of 329 cars hand-built at Crewe, just 38 were produced in right-hand drive. Interior refinement and build quality remained as high as ever with lashings of leather and the finest of wooden veneers, and Rolls-Royce still remained the watchword for excellence. This delightful car was one of just 14 Corniches that left the factory in right-hand drive in 2001, finished in Fountain Blue, trimmed in Oatmeal leather with dark blue piping and topped by a contrasting dark blue hood.Registered to the first of just two former keepers on 1st March 2001, the car was purchased in 2009 by a true Rolls-Royce enthusiast who enjoyed the car, driving it sparingly on only the most special of occasions, and stabled alongside his early Corniche Fixedhead Coupē. With his recent passing, the family have entrusted us with this very special motorcar, and will retain the private registration number which is not included in the sale. The car was bought from leading Rolls-Royce specialists Balmoral UK of Halesowen, Birmingham, returning to them regularly for servicing and maintenance, with the most recent service carried out in 2018 at 24,490 miles. The history file includes reams of service and maintenance receipts, and the wallet includes handbooks and the well-stamped service book.Presented to auction with an odometer reading of just 26,153 miles, at the time of cataloguing, this rare motorcar offers perhaps the only opportunity to own a Rolls-Royce that is both old school and modern in equal terms, bridging the best of both worlds, and so rare, that very few people have had the chance to admire the elegant coachwork in person, an omission that can be corrected by taking the opportunity to view this wonderful motor car prior to our sale.SpecificationMake: ROLLS-ROYCEModel: CORNICHEYear: 2001Chassis Number: SCAZK28E5YCH68137Registration Number: TBATransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 101206L410M/TITDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 26200 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Magnolia Click here for more details and images

The pinnacle Impreza that ticks all the right boxes, this 36,000 mile JDM 22B is on offer from 18-years, long-term ownership with just one former keeper.Built to celebrate both the marque's 40th anniversary and its third straight WRC manufacturers' title, the 22B STi was billed as the production version of Subaru's already-iconic two-door World Rally Car. With its beefy front and rear arches increasing width by 80mm, a high-rise rear spoiler and the unique EJ22 engine, the 22B was as close to Colin McRae's rally car as any mortal was ever going to get. It wasn't so much a homologation special but more of a road-going replica.Often mistaken, the '22B' in the model's name is derived from the 555 WRC car sponsorship. Five hundred and fifty-five is 22B in hexadecimal, the number base used in computer programming. At the time, the IT world was booming and the Impreza was the icon car for the successful IT contractor in both the UK and Japan alike. ‘22B’ is often incorrectly referred to the engine capacity, which was increased from 1,994cc to 2,212cc. The 'B', meanwhile, supposedly stood for Bilstein, the damper supplier. Whichever way you look at it, Subaru created a truly fabulous machine.Only 399 22Bs were built for sale to the domestic market (another 25 were made for overseas markets) and they pre-sold almost instantly in early 1998, costing a shade under £40,000 in period.The engine wasn't simply a standard 2.0-litre bored out to 2.2-litre, the EJ22 was a separate casting. While they are exceptionally strong engines, people liked to push the boundaries a bit and often found out the hard way where the engines limit was, post-remapping. Subsequently getting hold of replacement engines was a nightmare as there were no more and many owners who blew them up resorted to putting in the later EJ25 2.5-litre engine that was originally developed to get more power for the heavily emission-controlled US cars. Even Nicky Grist couldn’t get a replacement when the engine in his second one (he had an 000 and an import) let go.The 22B is equipped with a specially-developed, 2.2-litre EJ22-engine with forged pistons, a seam-welded bodyshell (supposedly identical in shape to the WRC), special gearing, a twin-plate racing clutch, strengthened drive/prop shafts, driver-adjustable front/rear diff and bigger brakes. The suspension uses unique forged-aluminium lower links, rose-joined transverse links, inverted Bilstein dampers and Eibach springs, plus a fetching set of Gold 17-inch BBS alloy wheels.Theoretically Subaru were upholding their end of the Gentleman’s agreement between all Japanese car manufacturers including the likes of Toyota, Nissan, Subaru and Mitsubishi. The agreement was to limit all JDM production cars to 280bhp and 180km/h in order to reduce road fatalities. However, as so many have found since, cars such as the 22B, R34 GT-R, Evo VI and Supra all seem to produce comfortably more than the agreed 280bhp, so while the 22B is officially producing 276bhp, real world figures suggest the BHP readout comfortably starts with a 3!The car presented here a 1998 Subaru Impreza 22B-STI, car #318 of the 400 examples, is a matching-numbers example, imported into the UK by Litchfield Imports in 2004. After just 6 months of ownership, the first UK owner sold it to our vendor who has cherished and enjoyed the car for the next 18 years and this enthusiastic ownership is clearly evident from the car's superb condition. Our vendor bought the car back in 2004 and has routinely had the car serviced and maintained as and when required by Motor House Servicing, with a letter accompanying the history file verifying this work. The car was treated to a recent full service on 11/05/22. Within the history file there is the Bill of Sale from Subaru Crossroads Garage when our vendor purchased the car in 2004, at 13,000 miles meaning this 22B has averaged a mere 1,300miles per year for the last 18 years as it now shows 36,500(atoc).On file there is an invoice for the TSL 76mm full exhaust system costing £851.88 when fitted in 2004 with the original exhaust coming with the car. Unfortunately, due to a system error there is currently no paperwork from Motor House Servicing showing the invoices for maintenance/servicing, however the owner of said garage is happy to speak to any interested parties to verify its past. Accompanied by its original Subaru booklets from Japan and photos showing the car pre-import, this is a splendid example of an appreciating icon.With the ever-skyrocketing prices of the cream-of-the-crop JDM cars, this fabulously original 22B is a very reasonable way to ensure you have one of the greats.SpecificationMake: SUBARUModel: IMPREZA 22B-STIYear: 1998Chassis Number: GC8071359Registration Number: S55 WOWTransmission: ManualEngine Number: TBCDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 36500 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Blue and Black ClothClick here for more details and images

Direct from 28-year family ownership, subject to a 7-year chassis-up restoration and one of just 25 models.Launched as the upmarket equivalent to the Land Rover in 1970 the Range Rover’s interior was somewhat behind that found in the contemporary Austin Maxi, at half the price. Interior refinements were added incrementally and it is perhaps inconceivable that a leather interior was only first introduced as an option in 1988! By the 1990s however it was clear that the smart money, both old and new, saw the Range Rover as a dual-purpose, luxury motorcar. The Autobiography Scheme was launched at the London Motor Show in 1993 and for the first time buyers could specify their Range Rover, available only as the long wheelbase 4.2-litre LSE, in any colour and interior trim they chose. Demand far outstripped supply and it was decided to limit the Autobiography option to just 25 cars, for the simple reason that there weren’t enough bare-shell LSE models available. Many retail-ready LSEs were re-painted and re-trimmed at Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Department, leading to production delays, late deliveries and cancelled orders. Leaving the production line in 1994 as an LSE in Beluga Black, this very special car was sent for Autobiography upgrades on the 7th February 1995 and re-finished in British Racing Green, with magnolia leather and fitted with a TWR body kit, a precursor to the Brooklands body kit of the later soft-dash Range Rover. It caught the eye of our vendor, Mrs Cook, who convinced her husband to exchange their bright red, six-month old, Autobiography for this car, a far classier alternative and benefitting from the same exclusivity. As lifelong Tottenham Hotspurs fans, the private registration number “L15 PUR” was applied to the car on the 12th October 1995 and is included in the sale, preserving the car’s history. The Range Rover was used regularly by our vendor’s late husband but, and despite meticulous in-house care and maintenance, the usual issues commonly found with the Classic started to show by 2006. It was then used sparingly until taken off the road in 2011. Easing into part-retirement Mr Cook now saw his beloved Range Rover as a restoration project worthy of his time and money. What followed was a seven-year odyssey involving expert structural and panel works, meticulous cosmetic preparation and specialist mechanical attention leading to significant improvements. The accompanying photograph album shows the thorough preparation and painstaking re-assembly of the Range Rover, a standard so high that it was often trailered to classic car events and mirrors placed underneath. The full schedule of works is simply too vast to include but in brief we start with the chassis which was shot-blasted, powder-coated, primed, hand sanded, primed again, painted black and lacquered. The bodyshell received remedial attention, replacement sections added where necessary with Waxoyl rust-proofing treatment to all vulnerable areas. The body panels were either shot-blasted or hand sanded back to bare metal and laboriously prepared for the several stages of painting. The axles were shot-blasted and thicker diff pans were welded on whilst new bearing housings and swivels were fitted. The braking system received new EBC discs, ventilated and grooved up front and grooved to the rear, whilst the callipers were rebuilt using stainless steel pistons. Specialist attention was directed to the air-suspension with new air springs fitted together with Koni dampers whilst “unobtanium” parts were manufactured specifically. The gearbox and torque converter were overhauled by the noted Midland Automatic Transmissions of Kettering. Mr Cook commissioned ADR Performance Engineering of Northampton to rebuild the engine with instructions to improve performance. A Tornado tune and ECU remap combined with forged pistons, reground crank, larger inlet valves and a Piper camshaft increased the brake horsepower to 265, a substantial increase from the standard 200bhp. Twin Kenlowe fans keep things cool and modern Bosch fuel-injectors have vastly improved start up and tickover. Ceramic-coated stainless steel headers replaced the cast-iron exhaust manifolds and the rest of the exhaust system was naturally upgraded to stainless steel. The sound-deadened interior was refreshed where necessary, inevitably receiving a new headlining, whilst the most significant upgrade saw dashboard and door caps stripped of their basic veneers and re-veneered with symmetrically cut American Burr Walnut, coated with multiple layers of polyester lacquer. Nationwide Trim not only supplied the headlining but also supplied new carpets with green over-mats piped in magnolia leather which matched the leather now covering the A, B and C pillars. Non-standard additions include new dark green webbing for the seatbelts, professionally fitted sound system and front and rear parking sensors. The extensive history file includes handbooks, service book, invoices, photographic record of the restoration and a copy of the Land Rover Owners International magazine from January 2019 which features this Range Rover’s restoration in far greater detail and poignantly showcases Mr Cook’s pride in his achievement. A Range Rover LSE is a rare car today, an early Autobiography is rarer still, very few come direct from 27-year family ownership and anyone wishing to replicate this superb restoration would need to budget at least £100,000, an estimate on file quotes £120,000. Offered to auction at a keen guide with a fresh MOT and a largely immaterial odometer reading of 106,698 miles at the time of cataloguing. We welcome and encourage your inspection of this remarkable Range Rover.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: RANGE ROVER LSE AUTOBIOGRAPHYYear: 1994Chassis Number: SALLHBM33KA638550Registration Number: L15 PURTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 40D06206A Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Sorrell Beige LeatherClick here for more details and images

Regarded as the ultimate Porsche Turbo; one of only 53 examples, UK-specification, just 25,000 miles and extremely original.First launched at the 1973 Paris Auto Show, with production commencing in 1975, the Porsche 911 (930) Turbo was a genuine Supercar which defined both the 1970s and 80s and was one of the fastest production cars available at that time. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS which was increased to 3.0-litres (eventually 3.3-litres) and, of course, turbocharged with technology gleaned from Porsche's 917/30 Can-Am programme. The brakes were also derived directly from the 917. The bodywork received special treatment resulting in one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear 'Tea-tray' spoiler.In 1989, before production was discontinued, Porsche marked the occasion by creating a very special, right-hand drive, limited-edition 930 LE - the ultimate Turbo, produced as the last hurrah to a turbo charged era. Starting out as a standard 3.3-litre model, the cars were then sent to the exclusive team at Zuffenhausen who built each example by hand.With just 53 of these cars produced, one for each UK dealership in 1989, a host of bespoke no-cost options were offered including colour-coded wheels, top-tinted windscreen, a choice of colours for interior and exterior, rear-quarter air intake ducts, electric sunroof, heated multi-adjust electric seats, electric sunroof, and gold ‘Turbo’ lettering stitched behind the seat. They also came fitted with leather throughout, extending over the seats, dash, centre console and door trims. Topped-off with a 3-spoke steering wheel with a special Porsche crest badge in gold, a feature which is echoed on top of the gear knob, plus a gold plaque with ''911 Turbo, 1975-1989 Limited Edition Model'’ engraving - as recognition of the LE's place in Porsche 911 history.Further features include electrically adjustable Sports seats with heating, electric tilt and slide sunroof, climate control, Becker Mexico radio/ CD, rear wiper, and a 180-mph speedometer (Z order number 02061).On the outside, the LE cars are visually very striking, with the poster pin-up wide bodywork and big rear wing. The side intake strakes and deep front spoiler (with additional oil cooler) follow the styling of the Low-build (Flachbau) SE model; similarly, the LE utilises the 330bhp 3.3-litre engine of the SE, hence a larger turbo charger, higher lift camshafts, higher boost pressure, larger intercooler, and quad exhaust system. Featuring the G50 5 speed manual gearbox with short shift, and option M220 limited slip diff.At the time of production, Porsche had no plans to turbocharge the incoming 964, so it was believed that the LE would indeed be the final forced induction model to leave the Stuttgart factory. The price was an eye-watering £84,500, a full 50% more than the average house price at the time!This original, right-hand drive UK-specification (C16) Porsche 911 (930) Turbo Limited-Edition (LE) was sold new on the 1st August 1989 by JCT600 (Rawdon) Ltd. Official Porsche Centre of Newcastle upon Tyne and was believed to have been ordered by the then Chairman of Newcastle United Football Club, Sir John Hall. He had a preference for purchasing cars with a black and white interior, hence this LE is finished in its special Linen and Black leather. This combination perfectly complements the Grand Prix White paintwork and matching Fuchs alloys.This superbly preserved car has covered just 24,996 miles (atoc) from new, supported by an original stamped-up service booklet (a mixture of Porsche Centres and marque specialists), up until 23,505 miles. Subsequently it was serviced by the highly respected Hairpin Company when our vendor purchased it from them in 2020. The car is thought to retain its original paint, to have never been restored and is wholly original – it certainly retains that Porsche smell and the overall condition is truly commensurate with the low mileage indicated.The factory option sticker under the bonnet remains in place and shows all the options codes you would expect for its model type, including (139) heated seats, (220) limited slip differential, (XA4) front spoiler, (XB7) rear air-ducts, (XE7) front oil cooler, (XH1) 3-spoke steering wheel, (XK5) leather gear lever, and (XN7) leather handbrake.The car is accompanied by its compete book pack, numerous receipts for maintenance over the years, tool roll, jack, and a UK V5C. This rare Turbo LE was the culmination of the 930 Turbo's 14 years of production, and as a result, is probably the best-developed iteration of this model, making it highly collectable today. This is one of the best Turbo LEs we’ve had the pleasure of offering, and we urge you to come and see the car in the metal.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 930 TURBO LEYear: 1989Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ93ZKS000750Registration Number: G656 RTYTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 67K01008 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 24000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Linen / Black leatherClick here for more details and images

A simply stunning example of the much loved R107, purchased new by our vendor, and displaying only 26,328 miles.The Mercedes-Benz SL range from the 1980s was known as the R107 Series and was undoubtedly the ultimate, California-sunshine, top-down symbol of the era. Various engine options were offered but the most desirable was always the smaller 280, 6-cylinder version (which at the end of the decade became the 300) so inevitably it was always the rarest and most sought after. Launched in 1985, the 300SL was the ultimate incarnation of the updated R107 and was available for only four years with just 13,443 ever built, making them a rarity in right-hand drive. It was powered by a 2,962cc straight-six engine that produced 185bhp at 5,700rpm and 188lbft of torque at 4,400, sufficient output to endow this open-topped Mercedes with rapid acceleration and a top speed of 130mph.This particular late-production 300SL is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive example and, with just one owner from new, this is a real opportunity to own a classic Mercedes convertible from the days when their build quality was legendary. Purchased from Gerard Mann Mercedes of Tamworth, and delivered on the 1st of August 1989 to our vendor's mother on a G plate on 'new plate day', this wonderful example has been cherished for its entire life in the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield. Stored in a dry garage, it's supplied with an extensive history file including its original books, all MOTs and Tax Discs over its complete life. Having covered only 26,300 miles in its first 21 years, it was parked up around 12 years ago and has been stored ever since. Our vendors have ensured that the engine was turned over regularly and, having now decided to bring it to the market, they have had it simply serviced and put through an MOT, pleasingly with 'Nil Advisories'. The indicated mileage at the time of consignment was 26,328.The optional hardtop roof has never been off, but it is believed that the soft top underneath is likely unmarked. The interior still appears 'showroom fresh' as do the tool kit and spare wheel. Our vendors have sensibly agreed to have the car sympathetically detailed prior to the sale, just to bring back the lovely finish that you would expect in such a low mileage Mercedes.As has been said many times, a car is only original once, and this SL remains delightfully original. There is slight marking to the edge of the driver's door, a reflection of the access in the garage more than anything, and a small mark on the bumper but we have agreed with our vendor that this is something that any purchaser might choose to attend to or leave as is, given the incredible condition of the rest of the car. So here we have a very low mileage, one owner from new Mercedes-Benz in exceptional condition, with the optional hardtop fitted, and an interior that belies it's 33 years, ready for a new owner to cherish for the next thirty years.   SpecificationMake: MERCEDES-BENZModel: 300SLYear: 1989Chassis Number: WDB1070412A103043Registration Number: G621 EOVTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 10398222010809 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 26328 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: LeatherClick here for more details and images

A properly engineered and superb fast-road driving RS homage.The 1973 Porsche 911RS is considered by all knowledgeable Porsche enthusiasts to be the single best 911 of all time. This is high praise when you consider the large number of 911 models that have been built over the 50+ years since the model's introduction. The Carrera RS (Renn Sport) is still to this day the benchmark 911, the beautiful lines only being matched by the sheer delight of driving it, with its positive steering, exhilarating sound, and linear performance. The RS had a purity of purpose that was not compromised by outside factors. For this reason, the Porsche RS Replica or "back-date" market has grown enormously, and demand is far outstripping the supply of quality machines.This tribute car presented here pays homage to the legendary 1973 2.7 RS, echoing that famous silhouette very well, and was professionally built by a well-respected Porsche specialist covering just over 1,000 miles since completion with its one and only owner. It utilises a C16, RHD 1984 3.2 Carrera Coupé as its starting point, this being a healthy well-serviced example with a decent history file containing numerous invoices and MOT Certificates documenting its conservative mileage.This striking car, now reborn, looks just right in the classic combination of Grand Prix White with Guards Red decals, wearing period Fuchs alloy wheels with Bridgestone Porsche N-rated tyres. All panels are period correct, having been sourced from Porsche, including new front wings, bonnet, front slam panel, sills, kidney bowls, rear quarters, fuel tank, and bumpers. All body seals are also new. The suspension has been rejuvenated with new dampers and new Powerflex bushes as well as new engine and gearbox mounts. Uprated drilled sports discs have been fitted along with new calipers, uprated steel-braided brake lines, and new wheel bearings. The 3.2-litre engine has been comprehensively stripped and rebuilt with new bearings, piston rings, chains, chain guides, chain tensioners, valve guides, and gaskets throughout. Additionally, the car was treated to an air induction kit, a brand-new starter motor and a custom stainless-steel exhaust and heat exchangers. The 915 gearbox has been fully rebuilt with new synchro rings, dog teeth, a WEVO conversion with a proper gearbox gate shifter system, along with a WEVO short shifter and PSJ precision coupler, and now feels like a G50 box! A new clutch and flywheel have been fitted and all gear linkage bushes have been replaced. New brake lines, fuel lines and oil return lines throughout, engine tinware, cam covers, cooling fan, oil cooler, oil tank and oil thermostat. The suspension components have been powder coated and all screws, piping, nuts, and bolts have been replaced throughout with factory parts. The interior hasn't missed out with many brand-new parts and materials including the headlining, RS Perlon carpets throughout, Prototipo Steering Wheel, red 3-point seat belts along with 6-point race harnesses, Recaro race seats, RS door-cards, Pioneer stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, and white dial faces. Included with the car are the manuals, a new factory service book, a replica period toolkit, a brand-new factory jack, plus two new keys.If, like most of us, an original 1973 2.7 RS is a tad outside the budget, this superb 'homage' must surely be the next best thing.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 'RS TRIBUTE'Year: 1984Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ91ZES102925Registration Number: A43 DUXTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 63E05342Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 1007 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

A magnificent RS2000 that was subject to a bare shell, fully-documented restoration in the early 2000s whilst retaining its beautifully preserved, original Custom interior.It was back in 1970 that Ford introduced their Rally Sport models - the RS range. Originally designed as a way of building limited numbers of homologation specials for serious competition use, it soon grew into a major marketing opportunity, and one that Ford grabbed with both hands. By 1976, when the RS 2000 Mk2 was launched, the term RS had grown to mean something a bit special.In late 1978, the Custom Pack became an option and included the following; Fishnet Recaro seats, full door-cards, clock and pod centre console, 6J x 13″ alloys, boot carpet, remote driver’s door mirror and the back panel around the rear lights was painted black.Offered here is a 1980 Ford Escort RS2000 superbly restored in the early 2000s, finished in its original body colour and retaining the original brown Custom Pack interior. Known and highly regarded within the RS owners club, the detailed bare shell restoration is fully documented with photographs before and during the works completed. Our private vendor informs us that the interior including the carpets and desirable fishnet Recaro seats remain original and beautifully preserved, with the clock in the pod functioning correctly.Standing up to the test of time today, this RS2000 presents rather well with the Diamond White paintwork retaining a deep gloss and the aforementioned original interior also presenting well. Mechanically, the Pinto fires up on-the-button and performs well running smoothly and accelerating through every gear. The car is accompanied by a large box-file full of history including a memory stick with photographic evidence documenting the restoration, a wealth of old MOTs, the original VIN plate, invoices for regular maintenance over the years. This lovely example will be offered serviced up-to-date and, although exempt, will have a fresh MOT.This is a superb opportunity to take ownership of a true 1980s icon, an RS finished in the colour of all competition Fords and well restored whilst retaining lots of originality. Excellent examples will continue to be in high demand and this one is offered at a realistic guide and ready to turn heads at any classic car event. SpecificationMake: FORDModel: RS2000Year: 1980Chassis Number: GCATAA015660Registration Number: RNO 993WTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 27869 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BrownClick here for more details and images

Offered from a prominent UK Bentley collection, this low mileage Continental R has benefitted from over £15,000 maintenance spend in the last 12 months - just 45,000 on the odometer and presented in stunning colours.Introduced in 1991, the Continental R was the first Bentley in 26 years to not share a body style with a concurrent Rolls-Royce and was inspired by the highly collectable Continental R-Type of the 1950s. The elegant two-door coachwork was styled by John Heffernan and Ken Greenley, a duo whose résumé included sports cars like the Aston Martin Virage. Five years later, Bentley introduced a short-wheelbase version dubbed the Continental T that was equipped with an uprated engine developing 420bhp and an impressive 650 foot-pounds of torque available at only 2,200rpm. Bentley customers soon expressed an interest in equipping the wide-body Continental R model with the T’s more powerful engine, and the Continental R Mulliner was consequently introduced at the 1999 Geneva Salon. Production ran from 1999 until 2003 with just 131 examples being built and they are often regarded as one of the last real Bentleys produced before the company's acquisition by Volkswagen.The example presented here is a 2001 Bentley Continental R Wide-bodied Mulliner Coupé (SCBZB25EX1CH63540) that has covered just 44,775 miles over the last 21 years. According to the Bentley Vehicle Specification sheets, the car is finished in Black Sapphire which basically is a very dark blue. The interior looks simply fabulous in a combination of French Navy and Barley hides with Dark Blue carpets, Dark Blue Lambswool Rugs and Burr Walnut veneers. The spec/option sheet runs to two A4 pages and makes fascinating reading.The car was purchased from Silverstone Auctions around 18 months ago with an indicated 43,765 miles and despite the fact that our fastidious vendor has only covered just over 1,000 miles in that time, he has spared no expense on service and maintenance in that period - some £15,000. Entrusted to H R Owen, Cheltenham they completed a major service on the car in 2021 replacing anything that wasn't upto standard. The Bentley also received 4 new tyres, an ECU re program, and has again had its annual service in May this year.In exceptional condition throughout having been maintained and stored regardless of cost, and in a delightful colour combination, this elegant Bentley is accompanied by a total and comprehensive service history including detailed invoices and numerous MOT Certificates.This is an opportunity to acquire one of the very best Bentley Wide-body examples on the road today.   SpecificationMake: BENTLEYModel: CONTINENTAL R MULLINER AYear: 2001Chassis Number: SCBZB25EX1CH63540Registration Number: Y932 BBATransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 102094L410M/T2W Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 44775 MilesInterior Colour: BlueClick here for more details and images

A beautiful German delivery, European-specification, Pagoda fresh from a 'last nut and bolt' restoration. UK-registered, running and driving without fault and ready for the next chapter.Launched in 1963 to replace the underpowered 190SL and utilising some of the new manufacturing techniques being adopted in the emerging S-Class, the Paul Bracq designed 230SL was proudly unveiled to an appreciative audience at the Geneva Motor Show. Remaining in production until 1971 with around 49,000 finding customers, the W113 Class, frequently referred to as the Pagoda, eventually spanned three engine sizes.The same show in 1967 coincidentally, saw the introduction of the W113-250SL. The new car retained the stiffer suspension and sporty feel of the earlier cars, but provided improved agility with its larger 2.5-litre engine and was now fitted with rear disc brakes and a larger tank. They were offered with a 4-speed Automatic transmission or a 4/5-speed ZF manual gearbox. Replaced by the 280SL in January 1968, its one-year production run makes the 250SL the rarest of the W113 Series.This spectacular 250SL was German supplied and remains in left-hand drive with its original hardtop. It has been subject to a painstaking restoration by M-B marque specialists over the last five years including D-Class, Multitech, SS Motors, Quickfit Safety Belts, SLS in Germany and the SL Shop. The work included a full glass-out respray, brand new leather interior, carpets, hood, engine, running gear and in excess of £36,000 was spent on retrimming, servicing and new parts. These new parts included brand new black Mercedes grained leather throughout including the dash, door cards, seats etc, brand new correct salt and pepper carpets throughout, brand new wood kit incl’ dash and surrounds, a new Mercedes Mohair hood, Mercedes-branded chrome seat-belts, new exhaust, headlights, Michelin Whitewall Tyres 185HR14 MXV, a new Becker Europa Vintage FM Radio with ’67 MB knobs and a Hirschmann Electric Chrome Wing Aerial.The engine rebuild included a reground crank with new mains and big ends, piston rings, rebuilt head with new valves, springs, guides and seats, recon oil pump, new timing chain, recondition fuel injection system and a new clutch and flywheel.At the time of photography, the odometer read 93,121 miles meaning that the car has only covered a handful of miles since the work was completed. The original documents held in the history file include its Service Book, and the stamped Mercedes-Benz Kundendienst alongside acres of invoices from the recent restoration in addition to a UK V5C. The fastidious attention to maintaining originality is clearly illustrated by the period-correct Becker Europa with 1967 MB-knobs, the Hirschmann aerial and proper Michelin tyres. This truly is a superb restoration and, resplendent in its gleaming new Signal Red paintwork, this is undoubtedly one of the finest examples of the rare 250SL on the market today. SpecificationMake: MERCEDES-BENZModel: 250SL PAGODAYear: 1967Chassis Number: 11304310000494Registration Number: TBATransmission: AutoEngine Number: 12998012008821Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 93121 MilesMake: LHDClick here for more details and images

The legendary RS2. A UK-supplied, right-hand drive example having recently emerged from long-term storage. Showing just 33,748 miles and finished in the desirable Nogaro Blue.The Audi RS2 is a limited-edition, high-performance five-door estate car manufactured between March 1994 and July 1995. It was an exciting collaboration between Audi and Porsche built on Audi’s 80 Avant model as a basis and, priced at £45,705 even 28 years ago, it was by no means inexpensive. Specially-finished Audi 80 Estate shells were shipped to Porsche’s Zuffenhausen facility in Stuttgart where they were fitted and enhanced with Porsche-designed suspension and braking system components.The Audi 2.2-litre, five-cylinder, 20-valve turbocharged engines were also enhanced for good measure by Porsche including the fitment of a KKK turbocharger. A six-speed manual transmission delivered power to all four wheels, through a manually activated locking differential at the rear axle. The resultant power output was a substantial 311bhp at 6,500rpm and 302lb-ft of torque at 3,000rpm, which enabled the RS2 to sprint from 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds on its way to a top speed of 163mph.Offered here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive example that was showing 33,748 miles at the time of cataloguing and is finished in desirable Nogaro Blue with Nogaro blue Alcantara with black hide seating. The V5 shows only two former keepers and this particular example has just emerged from a period of long-term storage.Between cataloguing the RS2, and the car arriving at the Silverstone Classic event, the car will be sent to our vendor's chosen specialist engineering company to carry out some light mechanical recommissioning following its long-term storage. Invoices and details of this work will be available to view over the course of the Silverstone Classic weekend or can be sent to you in advance. We, therefore, welcome and encourage all interested parties to come and see the car for themselves at the sale.The Audi RS2 has earned cult status amongst motoring enthusiasts and collectors which is not surprising considering that it was a collaboration between two giant and well-respected car manufacturers, production numbers were small (especially right-hand drive examples) and the RS2 was also the first model in Audi’s now legendary ‘RS’ performance line.There were less than 3,000 of these remarkable Audis produced for the worldwide market and just 180 were made in right-hand drive format making this a very rare and sought-after car in today’s market and, with this particular example being low mileage, low ownership and finished in a desirable colour combination, this certainly seems to be a very rare opportunity.SpecificationMake: AUDIModel: RS2Year: 1995Chassis Number: 8CSZ000809Registration Number: M898 LYYEngine Number: ADU0002950 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

Purchased by Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees in 1979 and owned by the family until 2012.When Rolls-Royce launched the two-door version of the Silver Shadow in 1966, the international jet set began to clamour for attention at the dealerships. These hugely desirable motorcars began to change hands at significant premiums over list price and one can imagine the hushed negotiations over the green baize of the gaming tables at Crockfords and Aspinalls. The Drop Head Coupé that followed in 1967 was even more exclusive, and waiting lists ran for years. Rolls-Royce could not have predicted the Swinging Sixties, or those who profited from this new era, and demand for the convertible came from all strata of monied society, the most vocal of which were heard on the radio. It was practically a law that celebrity Rolls-Royce owners had to be pictured alongside their car, and the convertible Rolls was the most coveted of all.If given the choice whilst on holiday in France, most would prefer to visit a discothèque rather than a bibliothèque, and the launch of “disco” in 1970 was a revolution. For the first time, strangers could dance on a multi-coloured dancefloor to up-beat music with a heavy dose of sexy electric guitar, both parties strutting their stuff without, quite frankly, Edwardian values of decorum. If there was one band that defined this new era of disco it was the Bee Gees, providing not one but three headline tracks to the quintessential disco film of the 1970s, Saturday Night Fever. One song, Night Fever, is often played as the anthem of the decade. As one third of the Bee Gees, Maurice Gibb was one of the most successful and highly paid of the era, enabling him to indulge his passion for Rolls-Royce motor cars.By the late-1970s, demand for the Corniche Convertible, as now named, was even more ferociously high than the previous decade, and second hand cars were highly sought after, impatiently in demand by the super rich. These sums are often mythologised and exaggerated but the accompanying carbon copy Bill of Sale from 1979 confirms these eye watering prices. When Maurice Gibb walked into the H.R. Owen showroom at Melton Court in South Kensington on the 17th April 1979 and saw this 1973 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible in Masons Black with a St. James red leather interior showing 30,214 miles, he parted with the incredible sum of £35,000. Bearing in mind that this was a six-year old car with 30,000 miles, he paid over three times the car’s list price when new, or double the price of a contemporary Ferrari 308 with change left over for a brand new Ford Capri!Maurice Gibb’s love affair with the Rolls-Royce started in the 1960s, famously photographed with the band looking through the window of Jack Barclay’s Mayfair showroom in 1968, various period snaps show Mr Gibb impeccably tailored in white alongside a Cloud Convertible or astride the bonnet of his Silver Shadow. Perhaps it was either his affection for this Corniche or the desire to get his money’s worth that saw the car remain as part of his collection until his sudden passing on the 12th January 2003, with the car remaining in the family until 2012. Those familiar with celebrity cars may note that most cars only enjoy a few years of ownership until traded in against newer models, and a thirty-three year family connection is very rare. So beloved was this Corniche, that Mr Gibb was photographed arriving in the Corniche at a press junket in 2001, gallantly aiding his wife Yvonne out of the rear seat, copies of which are on file.The car was nicknamed 'Rosie' and the private registration '3829 MG' issued to the car in period, and is generously included in the sale, as are the monogrammed over-mats. The Corniche’s current V5C show a number of previous registered keepers, which included Mr Gibb personally, his company and family members. An accompanying declaration on file, signed by Mr Gibb’s brother-in-law and personal assistant of thirty-years is dated 23rd July 2012 and confirms the car’s history. This declaration states regular servicing and MOT records show that the car’s mileage in July 2012 was 48,013 miles. Under new ownership, the Corniche benefited from some £24,000 of maintenance and servicing by Royce Motor Services of Gloucester between 2012 and 2019.Purchased on the 8th June 2021 by our vendor from a leading Rolls-Royce specialist, a purchase he readily agrees was on impulse, the car joined his fleet of modern motorcars, many of which are current model Rolls-Royces, and as an international businessman with limited time for classic motoring, his Lamborghini Miura would take precedence over the rest of his Collection. With recent expenditure of £10,000 the Corniche is presented to auction with an upgraded interior, dark red mohair power hood, a mileage of some 52,919 miles at the time of cataloguing and a history file that includes not only the aforementioned carbon copy Bill of Sale and signed declaration, but a note from a chap who confirms he use to wash the car for Mr Gibb on a Saturday morning!Considered the most attractive version of the Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible, the chrome bumpered cars produced between 1971 and 1977 only number a total of 1,232 in both right and left-hand drive, with very few in Masons Black. Questionable colour combinations of the era have often split opinion but few would argue that this Corniche’s combination is a perfect blend of Seventies retro, sleek black and funky red.In conclusion, classic cars should be fun, enjoyed by drivers and passengers alike, and we defy anyone not to arrive at a destination with the roof down and a Bee Gees hit blaring, whether the high notes are accurately hit or not.SpecificationMake: ROLLS-ROYCEModel: CORNICHE CONVERTIBLEYear: 1973Chassis Number: DRH14555Registration Number: 9829 MGTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 14555Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 52919 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Red LeatherClick here for more details and images

Owned from new for almost 30 years by Roger Daltrey of The Who; in great condition and ready to be enjoyed.One of the 20th Century’s truly great automobiles, the Volkswagen Beetle spawned a host of derivatives, the longest enduring being the Cabriolet. A single prototype was built pre-war, but it was not until 1949 that production commenced, the bulk of which was entrusted to Karmann of Osnabruck whose four-seater Cabriolet appeared soon after the two-seater Hebmuller-built version. Only Karmann’s would stand the test of time, outliving the saloon and remaining ever fashionable, an instantly recognisable motoring icon to this day and one ever popular with showbusiness celebrities.Mechanical changes to the Cabriolet kept pace with those of the saloon until the latter’s production began to wind down in the early 1970s. Thus, the Cabriolet gained the Super Beetle’s MacPherson strut front suspension, trailing-arm rear suspension and more-bulbous bonnet for 1971. 1973 brought with it a curved windscreen (and shortened bonnet), recessed dashboard and altered rear wings with enlarged light clusters. Topping the range was the 1303 LS with a 49bhp 1.6-litre twinport air-cooled flat-four engine. In this specification the Cabriolet continued to be built until January 1980, two years after German production of the saloon had ended.The car presented here is 1977 Volkswagen Beetle 1303 LS Cabriolet formerly owned from new for almost 30 years - from 1977 until 2005 - by Roger Daltrey CBE, founder and lead singer of The Who, legendary rock band of the 1960s. The car is accompanied by a signed letter from Daltrey confirming that he owned the car for that period. Also in the history file is a Volkswagen Museum Certificate which confirms the specification above, a build date of 27th January 1977 and that the car was UK-delivered. It also confirms the original colour scheme of Viper Green Metallic paintwork with a Pale Sand hood.The car has benefited from diligent ownership since 2005, being regularly serviced and maintained. In 2014 the Karmann bodywork receiving a full bare metal respray in the original factory colour of Viper Green, whilst there are still in situ Cibie Oscar driving lamps fitted during Daltrey’s ownership. The previous owner also had the seating and door cards fully re-trimmed in beige leather, with perforated centre panels.During the penultimate service while in Daltrey’s care the original service book was misplaced, and so the servicing history for this period is substantiated solely by his signed letter. Accompanying the car is an original book pouch, containing a period owner’s manual, the authenticity certificate from Stiftung AutoMuseum Volkswagen, some old MOT certificates and previous V5 documents. A 2005 newspaper article from when Daltrey sold the car is also included, along with his signed letter to the buyer at the time.Our vendor is a big fan of The Who, enthusiastically buying the car in 2019, and has since kept up its conscientious custodianship. He has lavished over £10,000 on this very deserving car, primarily to get it back to its original specification, saying “the car is now as near to as it was when it left the factory as I can get it; it's in great nick, not Concours but very good.”A really fun car in very good condition, with Rock Royalty provenance, at an attractive guide.SpecificationMake: VWModel: BEETLE 1303 LS CABRIOLETYear: 1977Chassis Number: 1572067740Registration Number: TNM 325RTransmission: Manual Engine Number: AS468349 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 80000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BeigeClick here for more details and images

On offer from 35-years current family ownership with just over 67,000 miles and its original stamped service book.The original Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was the first Ford to wear the Cosworth badge and was introduced at the 1985 Geneva Motor Show as a means of homologating the Sierra for Group A Touring Car racing. These regulations dictated that a minimum of 5,000 were built and sold and eventually Ford complied, with 5,545 finding homes. Based on the three-door Sierra bodyshell, it was designed by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) and was powered by a Cosworth-designed 2.0-litre turbo engine of now-legendary repute. The RS Cosworth used a 204bhp 2.0-litre DOHC engine with a Garret T3 turbocharger and inter-cooler enabling it to reach 62mph in 6.8 seconds and a top speed of 150mph. In 1986, the Sierra Cosworth was a new kind of performance car - a blue-collar hero able to humble true sports cars.This lovely Sierra RS Cosworth was supplied new, finished in Diamond White and first registered on 11/08/1986 to the Rugby Autocar Co. Ltd. It was subsequently purchased by our vendor's late husband, some six months later on 13th of February 1987 from Ford Main Dealer, Soans of Leamington for a total vehicle price of £14,995. A photocopy of the sales invoice from Soans accompanies the car in the history file alongside the original book pack, original stamped service book, and other original booklets and manuals.After a near 20-year hibernation, the car returned to the road around two years ago in March 2020, and recommissioning included the replacement of the front and rear brake calipers, brake hoses, track control arms and steering mounts, tie-rod ends, steering-rack gaiter kit, wheel bearing kit front and rear, power-steering belt, distributor cap and rotor arm, oil and filter and an exhaust system at a cost of £823 including VAT. There are one or two minor interior issues, the dashboard is cracked and there is a small hole by the handbrake where Michael J. Mouse popped in for the winter but further detailing would take it to the next level.From 35-years current family ownership, only 67,110 miles and a good history file, this RS Cosworth seems very sensibly guided.     SpecificationMake: FORDModel: SIERRA RS COSWORTHYear: 1986Chassis Number: WF0EXXGBBEGU97405Registration Number: D77 CHPEngine Number: GU97405 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 67110 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Recaro Grey ClothClick here for more details and images

Beautifully specified in Peacock with Sapphire, a modern classic Bentley Coupé manufactured in limited numbers with enormous presence.Introduced in 1991, the Continental R was the first Bentley in 26 years to not share a body style with a concurrent Rolls-Royce and was inspired by the highly collectable Continental R-Type of the 1950s. The elegant two-door coachwork was styled by John Heffernan and Ken Greenley, a duo whose résumé included sports cars like the Aston Martin Virage. Five years later Bentley introduced a short-wheelbase version dubbed the Continental T that was equipped with an uprated engine developing 420bhp and an impressive 650 foot-pounds of torque available at only 2,200 rpm. Bentley customers soon expressed interest in equipping the wide-body Continental R model with the T’s more powerful engine, and the Continental R Mulliner was consequently introduced at the 1999 Geneva Salon. The nomenclature was an homage to H.J. Mulliner, the British coachbuilder responsible for the original R-Type’s breathtaking fastback bodywork. The R Mulliner’s wide-body configuration offered spacious interior elegance, whilst the twin-turbocharged V8 could rocket the car to a top speed of nearly 170mph, with brisk 5.6-second sprints to 60 mph from standstill. Individually tailored to customer order, the R Mulliner was Bentley’s ultimate 20th century combination of luxury and performance, produced in a modest total quantity of 148 cars with 63 in right-hand drive. Offered here is a well specified Bentley Continental R finished in Peacock Blue with mostly Sapphire Black interior. Purchased new by the F & W Manufacturing Company, London W1 for £240,000, this Wide body Coupé shows circa 65,000 miles on the odometer and comes with a complete, well-documented service history.Accompanying the Bentley is a service file with invoices indicating that over £15,000 has been spent on maintenance in recent years, including a service at P&A Wood as part of its pre-sale preparations, the last owner having bought the Bentley from this notable dealer directly. As well as servicing, this work included new front brake pads and discs, new rear pads, new alternator belt, various electrical rectifications, Waxoyling of the underbody, and some other maintenance. The original service book shows over 20 Bentley main dealer or specialist stamps and the original book-pack is complete with drivers handbooks.The car was purchased by our vendor in 2018, who has used it sparingly and invested his passion into bringing this car up to its fantastic current condition. On the button and driving well, this magnificent modern-classic Bentley is described as in excellent condition and will be offered with a fresh MOT and its original registration plate applied for.NB; The Cherished Registration Number illustrated does not form part of the sale. SpecificationMake: BENTLEYModel: CONTINENTAL RYear: 2000Chassis Number: SCBZB26E6YCH63317Registration Number: TBATransmission: AutomaticDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 65000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Realm Engineering chassis and body, freshly built, IVA tested and with less than 50 miles on the clock.Faced with a glut of incomplete and unused D-Type bodies, chassis’ and parts following their withdrawal from racing at the end of the 1956 season, Jaguar made the decision to convert these left-over vehicles to road-going specification, for wealthy enthusiasts and drivers, most notably in the United States of America. Largely unchanged from the competition-spec vehicles (by modern standards, anyhow) this new vehicle - dubbed the XKSS - was fitted with a more conventional body, passenger door, wrap-around windscreen, side screens and quarter-bumpers, and not much else. Rarely did competition vehicles make it to production in such an untamed manner, but that was all part of the appeal for XKSS buyers. Sadly, following a devastating fire at Jaguar’s Browns Lane factory that destroyed all but sixteen XKSS models which had already been built, production was ended. As a result, the remaining survivors of the original 16 vehicles command an understandable premium when they come up for sale, putting them out of reach for all but the wealthiest of owners.Thankfully, there are numerous companies and talented individuals producing near-identical replicas and recreations, with one such company being Realm Engineering, who supplied the chassis and GRP kit body that made up this fantastic recreation we have here. Notably, Realm are well-known in their field for C and D-Type replicas, as well as producing the only AC Cobra replica which has Carroll Shelby’s personal seal of approval, so you can be certain that they are at the top of their game. Constructed to an incredibly high standard by the current owner over the last two years, this ‘XKSS’ utilises running gear from an XJ6, with the 4.2-litre inline-six engine and 5-speed gearbox providing drive, whilst the build also features a narrowed Jaguar independent IRS rear axle. Upgrades include triple Weber carburettors, big valve head and an unleaded fuel conversion.Sat on the correct replica 16” Dunlop racing wheels and fitted with a mohair folding hood, this 'XKSS recreation' looks every inch the thoroughbred British sports car, providing its owners with a near-identical driving experience without the eye-watering price tag attached to a real Jaguar XKSS. Alongside the roof, the car is also complete with its side screens, hood cover, boot rack and wet weather gear, should you be caught in a typically British shower.Following completion of the build, this example was correctly IVA tested and approved, registered on the V5 as a ‘Heritage XKSS’ and given an age-related registration from the donor vehicle’s year. Now, correctly registered MKU 170W can be removed and a private non age defining or personal plate can be fitted. Having driven only to and from the test station and the paint shop to get its coat of freshly-applied Old English White, this 2022-registered 'XKSS recreation' is ready for the next owner to enjoy to its fullest.Supplied with the V5C showing first registered on 1st May 2022 with no former keepers, a photographic record of the build with around 300 images, folder full of invoices and documentation of the build process, IVA certification and with no requirement for an MOT for the next three years, this really is an unrepeatable opportunity to obtain an as-new XKSS recreation that is ready to drive.SpecificationMake: REALM HERITAGE XKSSModel: XKSS RECREATIONYear: 2022Chassis Number: REALMSSS167680080Registration Number: MKU 170WTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 102736 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 15 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Old Jaguar RedClick here for more details and images

** Saleroom notice** Awaiting new V5 from the DVLA with the new engine number on it  Over 1,000 man-hours have been invested in this venerable Defender transforming it into a simply remarkable vehicle. Offered here in Keswick Green, this Defender 90 is no ordinary example as you might expect, after over 1,000 man-hours of careful restoration and innovative development. Now sporting a clever soft-top conversion with roll-cage, the work was carried out by Classic Days Bespoke Vehicles at J. Day Engineering in February 2022. It’s now powered by a standard 3.9-litre Rover V8 and automatic transmission transplanted from a Discovery 1. The donor vehicle had covered 139,000 miles but had been regularly maintained and serviced for many years prior at J. Day Engineering so they knew that the engine was sound. Naturally it was fully dismantled/inspected, serviced and refitted with new auxiliary parts before being installed in the Defender project.As you can see from our images this is a superbly-crafted development, however, viewing in person is the only way to appreciate the quality on offer.

A rare homage to a rare car. A superb re-creation of the 1968 911R, probably the genesis of all the lightweight 911s that followed.This lovely 911 did indeed start out as a 1975 2.7-litre 911S but was a rare, UK-supplied, right-hand drive car finished in Porsche Light Yellow. Its owner in 2013 had always been interested in recreating one of the very rare lightweight 911Rs that were the stuff of legend, and chose this H-Series Carrera as the perfect base for his re-creation. Some six years before the arrival of, undoubtedly the best known sporting 911 ever, the '73 2.7RS,  Porsche’s engineers took four standard 911S models off the production line with the intention of creating an ultra-light 911 to be known as the R (Racing). Weight reduction was the focus and the front cover, wings, doors and bumpers were made of glass-fibre-reinforced polymer, manufactured by the Stuttgart company Karl Baur. The weight reduction affected almost every part of the car. The 911R's windscreen was made of 4mm thin glass, the other glass was replaced with 2mm thick Plexiglas and what was not absolutely necessary has been left out. Purism in its purest form. In the slimmed-down cabin, two of the five instruments were removed as was the winding mechanism for the side windows and simple leather straps replaced the door pulls. Compared to a standard 1967 911 S - which at 1030kg was hardly a heavyweight - the weight reduction was 230 kg in total. Owners of modern GT2 and GT3 911s will recognise these weight saving techniques but this was 1967!  After the four original prototypes, a further 20 production 911Rs were built and when one of these original cars comes to market, the numbers are usually North of £400,000.The transformation of this 911S into a 911R homage began in 2013 and was totally painstaking involving huge amounts of detail. Within the history file there is full photographic evidence of the build which started with all rust being eradicated, new sills, diaphragms, B-posts and kidney bowls. The later-type front slam panel was removed in favour of the Porsche early long-bonnet panel together with inner wing extensions. At the same time, the sunroof was removed to aid strength and the whole shell re-painted in Ivory White with a full livery emulating that of the 1969 Tour De France winner, Guy Larrousse . The engine cover was custom-built in GRP along with a three-piece rear bumper and valance and a one-piece front bumper. 911R-spec front wings in GRP were fitted along with steel bowls. High-impact polycarbonate windows were installed except the screen with sliders and vents as per R-spec. A pair of period-correct Recaros were installed trimmed in Alcantara and leather along with a matching dash top. A full roll-cage was fitted and TRS rebranded harnesses to complete the safety aspect.The engine was rebuilt at the same time and the original block (6350106) bored from 2.7 to 2.8-litres and fitted with new pistons by its skilled mechanical owner. Within the car's history file are full details of the engine build and the rest of the work carried out but the list is far too long to include here, however, in September 2021 the car was rolling-road tested and displayed a maximum output of 233bhp, nearly 60 more than the standard car, which seems impressive.Within the history file there are literally thousands of pounds worth of receipts showing the detailed attention lavished on this special Porsche and the file also contains a magazine feature on the car by Classic Porsche in January 2015, an MSA Competition Log Book to cover Hill climbs and Sprints, dated January 2015 and some associated communication with Motor Sports UK, previously Motor Sports Association. SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911SYear: 1975Chassis Number: 911530071Registration Number: WVV 64HTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 6350106Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 83635 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Early four-pot, 3-dial, left-hand drive, SWB car that benefits from a Francis Tuthill engine build.This particular Porsche 912 Coupé, a 3-dial dash car, was supplied new through Chuck Iverson Inc of Newport Beach California in June 1966 where we believe it stayed until importation to the UK in 1999, a true black plate car, specified with the desirable 5-speed gearbox option.  In need of some attention at that time, the required refresh was placed in the hands of Specialist Vehicle Preparations of Droitwich in 2014 who were tasked with rebuilding the 912 to FIA specification with the required FIA HTP papers being issued upon completion.Subsequently, and now in the hands of the present owner, a mechanical overhaul was deemed necessary with Francis Tuthill being the go-to workshop. A full engine and gearbox strip and rebuild followed to original 1600 specification including, amongst other things, new barrels and pistons, heater boxes, Solex carburettors and a balanced bottom end, all personally built by Francis Tuthill who estimated 120 – 130 bhp upon completion.Now resplendent in its original hue of Gulf Blue, new carpets, sound deadening and door cards have just been fitted to finish this outstanding 912. It should be noted that the FIA HTP papers issued in 2014 expired in 2019 but we understand that new papers could be issued with very little investment. Complete with extensive history files including its original hand and service books, American paperwork, general invoices for works completed, and the FIA HTP papers from 2014, this is an outstanding Porsche 912 with potential as a fast road or a race / rally car should you be so inclined. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged. SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 912 SWBYear: 1965Chassis Number: 452596Registration Number: BFH 421DTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 130000 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Two former keepers, just 21,000 miles and one of only 19 UK-delivered cars. Built to celebrate 60 years of Bentley production at the historic Crewe Factory and one of just 60 produced of which only 19 were in right-hand drive. Special features of the Arnage Diamond Series include diamond-quartered wood marquetry and diamond-quilted leather seat upholstery. Externally, the Diamond Series is distinguished by a stainless steel matrix to the front bumper, new larger diameter 19 inch x 8J twin-spoke alloy wheels, to a unique design, and Union Flag badges to the front wings. A new range of Heritage paint colours was also available.The Arnage Diamond Series also sees the reintroduction of the ‘Flying B’ mascot, a feature that last adorned the radiator of a series production Bentley in the late 1970s. "This collector’s model has one of the most beautifully crafted cabins fitted to any Bentley, says Chairman and Chief Executive, Dr Franz-Josef Paefgen. "It clearly demonstrates the exceptional craftsmanship skills of the Crewe workforce, the culmination of 60 years of experience over several generations. The diamond-quartered marquetry of the Arnage Diamond Series is truly unique in the motor industry".Based on the Arnage R, the Diamond was available with either the 400bhp or, at extra cost, the 450bhp version of the Crewe-designed and produced 6.75 litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine. P9 JXN was first registered in 2006 and utilises the 400bhp twin-turbo, 6.75-litre V8 and automatic transmission.
