An extremely rare UK/RHD survivor with just 31,700 miles and in commensurate condition. Offered at 'No Reserve' as a charity lot with all proceeds going to 'Feedback Madagascar'Giugiaro-styled Alfasud was a revelation when launched, an all-new car with an all-new powertrain, built in an all-new factoryDespite its small engine, the Alfasud impressed with its superb handling, road holding, and high cruising speed, enhanced by all-round disc brakes, a good driving position and a swift, light gearchangeQuiet and refined, the 'Sud is now a collectors' favouriteA rare UK/RHD example in 'museum-quality' condition with Bruno Cilento paintwork and with just under 32,000 miles covered from newAccompanied by period paperwork, including sales brochures, handbooks and a Haynes workshop manualWhen it went on sale in 1972, the Alfasud rewrote the small-car rulebook to become the forerunner of the 1980s ‘hot hatch’. Given that Alfa Romeo had no experience of small, front-driven cars, the sheer dynamic excellence of the flat-four-powered ‘Sud came as a pleasant shock to critics and commentators, who greeted it with rapturous acclaim. Developed by Austrian engineer Rudolf Hruska, who had previously worked at Porsche and Volkswagen, the Alfasud was noted for its powerful boxer engine, low centre of gravity, aerodynamic profile, and best-in-class handling. The innovative styling by the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro of ItalDesign was much-copied and much loved – with sales of more than 1m in 12 years, the 'Sud would become the best-selling model in Alfa’s rich history.As so often with Italian cars, the Sud also had an interesting and backstory. The Italian government worked with Alfa to build the factory near Naples, as an investment in the impoverished South of Italy (hence the 'Sud' name). It is fair to say that the south’s inexperience in car manufacture meant the project did not run entirely smoothly; the first Suds were conspicuously susceptible to rust, although rustproofing was improved in ’77 and ’78.The Alfasud 'Super' was the range-topping model, available with both 1.2- and 1.3-litre engines. The Super introduced improvements both outside, with new bumpers including large plastic strips, and inside, with a revised dashboard, new door cards and the choice of either Alfatex (vinyl) or two-tone cloth seats. In May 1978, the Super’s 1.3-litre engine gained power and capacity (now 1350cc) with a twin-choke carburettor setup.This particular 5-speed car left the factory on the slopes of Mt.Vesuvius in 1979 and made its way to the UK, where it was originally sold to a young lady driver by a family dealership in Skegness. About four years later she sold the 'Sud on to a new owner in the Leeds commuter belt, and it remained in Yorkshire with just three owners until the late 2010s.Given the model’s tendency to rust, the excellent condition of this 'Sud is highly impressive – indeed, it makes the colour (official name: Bruno Cilento, or Rust Brown) somewhat ironic. However, this is almost certainly down to the care that successive owners took of the car, perhaps sensing its status as a future classic. With only just 30,700 miles on the clock and a documented MOT history, it has clearly been lovingly cared for. The same degree of care was evident in its second-to-last owner, who brought it from North Yorkshire to Lewes in Sussex in the late 2010s.Various receipts record the substantial amount of time and money this Italophile spent restoring the original details, from hubcaps to pedal covers. By the time it was bought by its last owner, an Italian car collector in London, it was almost museum-specimen quality; the collector’s high-quality bare-metal repaint by an Italian paint specialist and a thorough brake overhaul were the perfecting touch. The Boxer engine in is excellent mechanical health, the interior is original and intact, the steel wheels are original and the new tyres are in period style. Accompanying the car are numerous original handbooks, period paperwork, brochures, old tax discs and two sets of keys, plus extensive MOT and service history, helping to support its mileage and quality of ownership.All in all, the preservation level of this Alfasud makes it a truly remarkable example of a model that was considered a landmark car at its very inception, and 20 years later would be described by one classic car magazine as “"The classic sporting saloon car of the 1970s." The sheer preservation level of this little car warrants a place in a collection amongst the finest Italian machinery.This very special car is coming to auction from a private collector of original low-mileage classics who has, for several years, supported the work of the charity ‘Feedback Madagascar’ https://www.feedbackmadagascar.net/Excluding active war zones, Madagascar is the poorest state in the world. 21 million people live here, and 9 out of 10 people live on less than $2 per day. A quarter of children are out of school and half of the children under five suffer chronic malnutrition, the fourth highest rate in the world. Slash and burn agriculture and soil erosion have turned the island red and endangered huge numbers of animals and plants.Our extremely generous vendor and Silverstone Auctions have aligned to offer this car at ‘No Reserve’ with the whole hammer price plus commission going to the charity. Not only will the new owner become the custodian of a very special Alfa, he/she will have played a significant role in helping the communities of this island. So, please come and see just how good this ‘Sud is, bid strongly and enjoy both the car and the feeling of helping such a worthwhile cause.SpecificationMake: ALFA ROMEOModel: ALFASUD SUPERYear: 1979Chassis Number: AS5055070901FRegistration Number: JWW 940VTransmission: ManaulEngine Number: AS30160/012014 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 31700 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Brown Click here for more details and images
Lot 323
Simply gorgeous, 1930s Anglo-German creation and one of only 19.The result of an agreement between BMW and AFN of Middlesex in 1934Basically a late-thirties 327 built by BMW and supplied to Frazer Nash already badged as Frazer Nash–BMW, with Imperial instruments and in right hand drive. Fitted with the 328's 1971cc straight-six generating 80bhp (327/80)Only 19 were imported with around 12 believed to have survivedUnderstood to have been fully restored by the TT Workshop around 2005Part of BMW UK's Historic Fleet since 2015 and displayed at various eventsCurrently being recommissioned by BMW and will be offered running and drivingAbsolutely stunning but some cosmetic detailing would return it to a Concours standardBMW’s reputation as a manufacturer of sporting motorcars really started with the annual Eifelrennen event, held at the Nürburgring on 14th June 1936. Here Ernst Henne beat a field that included 1½-litre single-seat racing cars driving the prototype of what would become one of the most iconic sports cars of all time – the legendary ‘328’. The fact that this victory had been achieved only eight years after BMW’s establishment as an automobile manufacturer is all the more remarkable.Capitalising on this success, the company launched a new range of models that would become the foundation of their reputation as a manufacturer of the highest quality cars with power and style. The flagship of the range was the 328 which incorporated a lightweight tubular chassis and a powerful straight-6 engine with overhead valves and triple carburettors. Alongside the 328, BMW offered the 327, a delightful sports tourer based on a shortened, boxed, ladder-type chassis with semi-elliptic rear springs, a Hurth 4-speed gearbox and hydraulic brakes all round.The 327 was available with a choice of two engines, one was BMW's standard 6-cylinder but, for an extra few Deutschmarks, the car could be fitted with the 328’s 80bhp unit. This engine was the masterpiece of designer Rudolf Schleicher and although only displacing 1,971cc, it utilised hemispherical combustion chambers, inclined valves and twin downdraught inlet ports generating a very credible 80bhp in standard tune. This design had two rocker shafts, one situated above each bank of valves, giving the engine an external appearance almost indistinguishable from that of a twin-overhead-cam design but with considerable cost saving. It proved capable of developing even more power and after the war would be used by Cooper, Bristol and Frazer Nash with great racing success.In 1934, a cooperation agreement was concluded with BMW, which made Middlesex-based, Frazer Nash the general importer of these German vehicles for the British market and at the same time allowed them to sell the cars under their own brand name as ‘Frazer Nash-BMW’. The cars were built by BMW and supplied to Frazer Nash already badged as Frazer Nash–BMW, with Imperial instruments and in right hand drive. When fitted with the 2-litre engine, they were known as ‘Frazer Nash-BMW 327/80’. This arrangement continued until the outbreak of war in 1939 when, unsurprisingly, it was rapidly terminated. Only 19 Frazer Nash-BMW 327/80s were imported and, it's believed, only 12 remain.The stunning piece of automotive artwork on offer here is indeed one of those surviving 12. AFN imported DAK 760 into Isleworth in early 1939 and it would be wonderful to tell you that we know all about the car's history since then, but we don't as very little documentation exists. We do know, however, that it was fully restored around 2005 by marque specialists, TT Workshop, and judging by a very similar car also restored by TT Workshop, the restoration costs would certainly exceed the car's guide today. It has formed part of BMW UK's Historic Fleet since 2015 and has been displayed at various events over the years.Attractively finished in Midnight Blue over Cream with blue pinstripes, the car has real presence displaying none of the stately Teutonic pomp normally associated with pre-war German cabriolets, but echoes the elegant lines of thirties' Alfas with styling cues that suggest the work of those ‘swoopy’ blue and cream creations beloved of the French coachbuilders. The story is continued throughout the interior. Lavish Navy Blue leather and luxurious matching pile await you as you open the door and the whole thing is capped with one of the most beautiful dashboards we have ever seen with cream-faced Art Deco-style instruments and clocks surrounded by an array of Bakelite switches and knobs echoing the beautiful wireless radios of the era. The folding soft-top appears in excellent condition and the jack etc. are neatly stashed in the tidy engine bay. One can only imagine the reactions of people when this cabriolet was first released in 1937, it still draws gasps today. It’s a design that’s very much of its time, yet an enduring one. 32,586 miles are indicated on the odometer, naturally not warranted, and the car will be offered running and driving with the braking system currently being overhauled by BMW and general recommissioning works being undertaken. It's an older restoration with limited recent use and inevitably there will be certain items that may be inoperative, for example we have been made aware that the clock and cigar lighter are inoperative and the fuel gauge a little temperamental. There are one or two areas in need of further cosmetic detailing but overall this remains a stunning example of 1930s automotive elegance and your personal inspection is welcomed and encouraged.

Lot 606
Recently refreshed, this sparkling Corniche soft-top has covered just over 32,000 miles.Beautiful Corniche in the rather stylish colour combination of Seychelles Blue over Magnolia hideA glamorous resident of New York for most of its life and returned to the UK in 2017A remarkably low 32,135 miles covered, supported by an American CARFAX reportAccompanied by its original handbooks, factory toolkit and jackThe recipient of a recently completed three-year recommissioning process, including a bare-metal repaint, a new mohair hood and full mechanical serviceFor the Corniche, the revered 6.75-litre aluminium-alloy V8 engine produces around 10% more power than standard, giving a top speed of more than 120 mph and sportscar-beating acceleration to matchThe two-door convertible version of the Silver Shadow has been, without a doubt, the most commercially successful convertible ever produced by Rolls-Royce. First introduced in 1966 as the ‘Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward Two-door, Drophead Coupe’, to give it its full title, the car was instantly in demand. When Rolls-Royce launched the two-door cars, the international jet-set began to clamour for attention at the dealerships. With waiting lists measured in years, these hugely desirable vehicles 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, the Palm Beach and Aspinalls. Customers who ordered the Drophead were not the same people who purchased the company's sensible saloons and the cars were frequently specified in bright colours and eventually it became apparent that this version deserved to have its own model name so, after a few cosmetic changes in 1971, the Corniche was born. The name originally comes from the French word for a coastal road, especially along the face of a cliff, most notably the Grande Corniche along the French Riviera above the principality of Monaco, and it was thought at the time that this new name would convey some of the style and glamour of Monte Carlo and, fifty years later, it still does. Rolls-Royce envisioned a time when owners would like to drive their own cars and the Corniche continued to be developed with this in mind and even had a rev counter fitted as standard. Around 10% more power was coaxed from the proven 6,750cc aluminium-alloy V8 endowing the two-door with a top speed in excess of 120 mph and sportscar-beating acceleration to match. Progressively developed, the Corniche received Rolls’ advanced split-level air conditioning system along with a re-designed fascia in 1976 - the first Rolls-Royce model to do so. A mild restyling was on the cards for the Spring of 1977 and the differences included rack-and-pinion steering, alloy and rubber bumpers, aluminium radiator, and oil cooler. Despite its sky-high asking price, the model proved a major success for Rolls-Royce; periodically revised and updated, it remained in production well into the 1990s, the last (Convertible) examples being delivered in 1995.The car presented here dates from 1983 and was personally imported by our car-collecting vendor in the Summer of 2017, having been a New York inhabitant for most of its life. Used sparingly, as most ‘Big Apple’ stately automobiles often are, it has covered just 32,135 miles. It's accompanied by its original handbooks, its factory toolkit and jack, a handful of receipts and an American CARFAX which supports the low mileage.Upon its arrival here, the car was fully serviced, MOT’d and UK registered. Whilst close inspection revealed it to be rust-free, there was evidence of some minor lacquer peel on a few areas of the bodywork. Subsequently, with the intention of keeping the car, the vendor commissioned it to be stripped to the bare metal and re-painted in its factory colour of Seychelles Blue whilst the coachlines were hand-painted in Magnolia to match the interior leather. The paintwork now presents in superb, better-than-new condition and is a sight to behold.Now, with this standard of bodywork, the car was treated to a completely new mohair hood with a matching lambswool inner lining. All the interior wood has been specialist re-veneered and lacquered, whilst the seats, although in excellent condition, have been professionally cleaned and refreshed. The car wears a set of new Avon Turbospeed white-wall tyres.Many thousands of pounds have been invested to make this Corniche one of the best available and it's accompanied by a full photographic record of its recommissioning by numerous specialists, a project that has taken three years and much expenditure to complete. Unsurprisingly, the car drives and performs as well as you’d expect, with all auxiliaries elements correctly working too.An unexpected change of circumstances regretfully means that our vendor must now part with his Corniche, a car he had aspired to own for several years, having sourced a very sound example and enjoyed the process of bringing back to its absolute best. Freshly MOT’d and always garaged since its renewal, this sparkling Corniche is the perfect addition to any collection of special motor cars.These beautiful convertibles have a timeless elegance and this delightful example looks superb in the head-turning colour combination of Seychelles Blue with blue-piped Magnolia hide and navy blue carpets. Anyone who saw one of these with the top down when they were first introduced would have found it difficult to conceive that an amalgam of steel, glass, Walnut and leather could have been formed into something so utterly desirable.(The registration ‘BEE 633’ is not included in the sale of the car but is available by separate negotiation).SpecificationMake: ROLLS ROYCEModel: CORNICHE CONVERTIBLEYear: 1983Chassis Number: SCAZD42A8DCX05830Registration Number: BEE 633Drive Side: Left-hand DriveClick here for more details and images
