1978 Mercedes Benz 450SL ConvertibleRegistration no. BOK 225TChassis no. 10704422048689Engine no. 11798522031675Odometer reading: 85,000MOT: Exempt *Automatic transmission*Off the road since 2013*Full Mercedes-Benz service history to December 1995*Offered for re-commissioningFirst introduced in 1971/72, the luxurious 450 SL convertible and 450 SLC coupé were outwardly identical to their '350' (3.5-litre) sister models, though endowed with superior performance courtesy of a more-powerful 4.5-litre V8 engine. Built on a longer wheelbase, the coupé accommodated two rear seat passengers and provided greater boot space than the convertible. Mercedes-Benz's increasing preoccupation with safety was evident in the design of the interior, which boasted a padded dash top, recessed or flexibly mounted switchgear and padded steering wheel on a 'collapsible' column. Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection was standardised for 1975, electronic ignition and self-adjusting hydraulic tappets being introduced at the same time. Maximum speed of these superbly equipped top-of-the-range models was in excess of 130mph. Finished in red with original tan leather interior, this automatic transmission 450 SL has been in the current ownership for the last 25 years and was in continuous use until 2013 when it was taken off the road. The car comes with full Mercedes-Benz service history up to December 1995 at 75,808 miles, while subsequent maintenance saw two exhaust manifolds replaced by Mercedes Drayton Stafford in August 2000. As well as the aforementioned history the Mercedes also comes with most MoTs for the period 1988 to 2012; sundry bills; an old-style logbook; and a V5C document. Re-commissioning will be required before the car returns to the road.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 54/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1931 BMW 3/15 Ihle SportsCoachwork by Gebrüder Ihle Karrosseriebau GmbHRegistration no. BF 7438Chassis no. 24886Odometer reading: tbcMOT: Exempt*Rare coachbuilt BMW light car*Left-hand drive*Excellent conditionIhle Karosseriebau of Bruchsal, Germany was a coachbuilder active from circa 1928 to 1939, specialising in two-seater sports bodies for the BMW 3/15 and DKW's smaller models. Ford, Hansa, and Opel chassis were catered for also. This example of Ihle's special coachwork is on a BMW Dixi chassis. The acquisition of the Dixi works at Eisenach in 1928 had provided BMW, hitherto a manufacturer of aero engines and motorcycles, with a foothold in motor manufacturing. Dixi had recommenced civilian production post-1918 with a range of revived pre-war models and then in 1927 the firm obtained a licence to manufacture the Austin Seven, which was marketed as the Typ DA1 or 3/15. Dixi would not stay independent for very much longer however, being acquired by BMW in October 1928 for around 1 million marks. Dixi's built-under-license version of the Austin Seven was gradually developed and improved, ending up with swing-axle suspension and overhead valves, before the arrival of the first true BMW in 1933. The current vendor saw this Ihle-bodied BMW in Japan while looking at another car and immediately fell in love with it. He personally imported the car and has owned it ever since. Finished in blue with tan leather interior, this rare coachbuilt BMW light car is described by the vendor as in generally excellent condition and offered with a V5C document. £10,000 – 15,000Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 84/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1923 Rolls Royce Doctor's CoupéRegistration no. UFF 327Chassis no. 66 H2 Engine no. G357Odometer reading: TBCMOT: Exempt *Coachwork by Bradburn and Wedge*Quality coachbuilt example*Good history fileThis car, along with others from the same vendor, has been standing for up to 25 years. Her husband died in 1996, and his collection of cars remained mostly unused from that point until I was asked to see them with a view to their sale by auction. They were all stored over that time in a purpose-built building that was heated, and dehumidified, which the deceased gentleman had had constructed solely for the purpose of storing his cars. Having been standing for that period of time, they will require careful re-commissioning and safety checks prior to use by a new owner. However, during our inspection and photography of the vehicles we have found that all are rolling, most have operable handbrakes, and some of the clutches are also operable.UFF 327 was bodied by Bradburn and Wedge, coachbuilders of Wolverhampton as a Doctor's coupe with a rear 2-person dickey seat. It has a copy of the original chassis card from Rolls Royce. The coach builder's identification plates are still affixed to both sills and also to the dashboard.UFF 327 was purchased by the vendor's deceased husband from Gregor Fisken in November 1994 (invoice on file). Shortly afterwards the car was sent to Andrew Hemingway for investigation as to any work which might be required. A considerable amount of work was found to be needed, and this was undertaken and completed in October 1995 (invoice on file) and included significant work on the engine, together with the brakes, suspension and other aspects (close inspection recommended). The total of this invoice is £13,223.96. We understand that further work was carried out, but was completed after the owner's death, and there is no invoice on file for this. Since this time the vehicle has had little or no use. As noted above, it will require careful re-commissioning and safety checks prior to use by a new owner.There is a letter in the history file from a researcher suggesting that this vehicle is 'the only surviving 20HP attributed to Bradburn and Wedge still retaining its original coachwork.'Documentation includes a current V5C, an old-type V5, the aforementioned copy chassis card, invoices, correspondence, some photographs, and miscellaneous papers. Also present is a copy instruction book.Presently on SORN.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 35/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1969 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 Coupé ProjectRegistration no. Not UK RegisteredChassis no. 1R25146Engine no. 7R-1471-9Odometer reading: TBCMOT: Exempt *Imported from the USA circa 2014*Left-hand drive*Offered for restorationThe first significant upgrade of Jaguar's sensational E-Type sports car occurred in October 1964 with the launch of the 4.2-litre version. Along with the bigger, torquier engine came a more user-friendly gearbox with synchromesh on first gear, and a superior Lockheed brake servo. Apart from '4.2' badging, the car's external appearance was unchanged, but under the skin there were numerous detail improvements. These mainly concerned the cooling and electrical systems, the latter gaining an alternator and adopting the industry standard negative ground, while the interior boasted a matt black dashboard and improved seating arrangements. The top speed of around 150mph remained unchanged, the main performance gain resulting from the larger engine being improved acceleration. Like its 3.8-litre forbear, the 4.2-litre E-Type was built in roadster and coupé forms, and in 1966 gained an additional 2+2 coupé variant on a 9' longer wheelbase. In 1968 all three versions of the E-Type underwent major revision to comply with US safety and emissions legislation, emerging in Series 2 guise minus the original's distinctive headlight covers. In addition, enlarged side and rear lights were adopted, while a thickened front bumper centre section bridged a larger radiator intake. Interior changes included a collapsible steering column and rocker switches in place of the earlier toggles. This left-hand drive Series 2 Coupé was imported from the USA circa 2014 and is offered for restoration. The car comes with a State of California Certificate of Title and is sold strictly as viewed.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 20/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1965 Triumph Herald 12/50 Convertible with HardtopRegistration no. CTT 848CChassis no. GD26431RSOdometer reading: 52,397 MOT: exempt*Relatively rare convertible model*Lowered suspension*Well maintainedThe introduction of the Herald in 1959 marked the beginning of the end for Standard's small saloons, although the Ten's 948cc, overhead-valve, four-cylinder engine lived on in up-rated form in the Herald, endowing the latter with a 70mph top speed and 40mpg fuel consumption. The need to facilitate ease of assembly overseas influenced the return to a separate chassis, but despite this apparent anachronism the Herald proved an outstanding success; its all-independent suspension made for class-leading ride quality and a phenomenally tight turning circle, while Giovanni Michelotti's inspired styling proved attractive to both men and women alike. Larger engines and disc front brakes were adopted as the Herald matured, and by the time production ceased in 1971 more than 500,000 had been produced. Finished in Cactus Green with red interior, this rare Herald convertible has the 12/50 model's 1,147cc 51bhp engine and front disc brakes. The car appears to be fairly original, though it should be noted that the suspension has been lowered by around 1' and after-market wheels fitted in order to improve the handling. 'CTT 848C' is currently owned by a classic car mechanic and has been well maintained. Accompanying documentation consists of a BMIHT Certificate of Authenticity; some old MoTs and tax discs; a V5C Registration Certificate; and a quantity of invoices from Triumph specialists AJF Motor Engineers and James Paddock Ltd. Cheap-to-run classic fun, the car also comes with an original owner's handbook.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 61/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

2005 MG SV-R CoupéRegistration no. no. to be advisedChassis no. SA95VGCCN5M130616Odometer reading: 1410MOT: N/A*One of only 42 SV-Rs built*First registered in 2008*Present ownership since 2011The SV story began with MG/Rover's acquisition of the Italian-based Qvale Automotive, manufacturer of the Qvale Mangusta. Already homologated for the US market, the Mangusta must have seemed an ideal starting point for MG's new supercar. Styled by renowned designer Peter Stevens, the SV used carbon fibre body panels, which were manufactured in the UK and then shipped to Italy for fitting to the box-frame chassis. Completed cars were then transported to the MG Rover factory at Longbridge for final trimming and finishing. Power was supplied by a Ford V8 engine producing 320bhp, while there was also a more powerful (385bhp) SV-R version capable of 175mph. Sadly, the SV had arrived too late to help rescue MG, and when the factory closed its gates in 2005 only 82 cars plus four 'XP' pre-production prototypes had been made. One of only 42 SV-Rs built, and one of the very last to leave the factory, this example was intended for the Italian Motor Show but never delivered as MG had gone into administration. Notable features include black leather Recaro seats with four-point racing harnesses; OZ 18' split-rim alloy wheels with stainless steel embellishers; and red Brembo brake callipers gripping drilled and vented discs. The car was stored until 2008 when it was purchased from the official receiver and registered on an '08' plate. When the current vendor purchased the MG at a UK auction in November 2011, it had covered only some 800 miles from new. Accompanying documentation consists of copies of the purchase invoice and catalogue description.This rare and desirable SV-R has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use. Please also note this Lot is subject to UK import tax if it is to remain in the UK. £20,000 – 25,000No ReserveFootnotes:Vendor Score Total: 58/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1961 Land Rover Series II 4x4 UtilityRegistration no. 625 RKXChassis no. 141100856Odometer reading: 38,367 MOT: Exempt*Two previous owners*Desirable 2,286cc petrol engine*Outstandingly original condition*Recently re-commissionedSome ten years after the original's introduction it was felt that the time had come to update the Land Rover's somewhat primitive slab-sided styling. The result was the Series II, which featured the more rounded sides that would continue to characterise the Land Rover until production of the Defender model ceased in 2016. Introduced in 1958, the Series II was available with either the 2,286cc petrol engine or the newly developed 2,052cc diesel first seen in 1956 on what became known retrospectively as the 'Series I'. By this time the original permanent four-wheel drive freewheel transmission had been superseded by the more conventional selectable two- or four-wheel drive arrangement, with a set of low ratios available if required when the latter option was selected. The Series II's arrival also marked the standardisation of only two different wheelbase lengths - 88' and 109' - the Series I's 107' option being dropped. Equipped with hardtop, this Series II Land Rover has the desirable 2,286cc petrol engine and is presented in outstandingly original condition throughout. Recent re-commissioning included welding the chassis to a very high standard in order to preserve the vehicle's originality for the future, plus fitting new front springs, tyres, wheel cylinders, fuel tank, and a full service. We are advised that the Land Rover has had only two previous owners.

1953 MG Midget TD II RoadsterRegistration no. OPO 935Chassis no. TD 27204Engine no. 27601Odometer reading: 54,975MOT: Exempt *An older restoration*Present ownership since circa 2015*Not used for some time*Requires re-commissioningThe penultimate T-Series Midget, the TD appeared in 1949. A larger car than its predecessors, the TD owed much to the contemporary MG Y-Type saloon, using a narrowed and modified version of the latter's box-frame chassis, on which sat an all-new body roomier than before but retaining the classic looks of the traditional MG sports car, while its engine was the well-tried 1,250cc four-cylinder XPAG unit. The TD's saloon parentage was far from a handicap, for the Y-Type was a later and more advanced design than the TC Midget, employing independent front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. Although thoroughly traditional both in appearance and its coachbuilt method of construction, the TD body offered greatly increased 'elbow room' to its occupants when compared to that of the TC. From August 1951 a larger clutch was fitted and associated changes made to the flywheel and bell-housing, subsequent cars being known as the TD II. A runaway sales success with some 30,000 sold, the TD is, paradoxically, rare in the UK, as most went for export to earn vital foreign currency.Restored at date unknown, this TD was acquired by the lady vendor's husband circa 2015 and used sparingly. Dry stored, unused, for some time, the car will require re-commissioning before further use. The engine is said to run well and the Midget would be a good candidate for further sympathetic restoration.

1949 Humber Super Snipe MkIICoachwork by Coachwork by TickfordRegistration no. GAK 687Chassis no. 8801844Odometer reading: TBCMOT: N/A*Rare survivor of Humber's top-of-the-range model*One of only 44 built*Restored in the early 2000sAlready the majority shareholder in the combined Hillman/Humber concern, Rootes completed its takeover in 1931. Under Rootes' guidance, Hillman concentrated on models with mass-market appeal while Humber was pitched at a wealthier clientele. The Super Snipe first appeared in the late 1930s, finding a ready market within the ranks of Civil Service officialdom and the middle class professions, and continued in mildly face-lifted form post-WW2. In 1948 the Super Snipe underwent a more extensive revision, emerging as the longer and wider MkII, though still with the 4.1-litre six-cylinder sidevalve engine producing 100bhp. Styled with the assistance of Raymond Loewy's design studio, the MkII featured a new front end, while, perhaps surprisingly, running boards were reinstated. A touring limousine and a drophead coupé were available alongside the standard four-door saloon. The car offered here is one of only 44 drophead coupés built on the Super Snipe MkII chassis, of which only seven (not all in roadworthy condition) are known to survive. The 36th of the series, 'GAK 687' was delivered new to J C France & Co of Dewsbury on 18th November 1949. The Humber was restored to its present condition in the early 2000s and acquired by the current owner from Justin Banks in June 2004. 'GAK 687' comes with a history file containing copies of numerous invoices for parts used in its restoration; four MoTs (most recent expired 2005); an old-style V5C Registration Certificate; and an original Tickford brochure.The Humberhas been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

1994 Land Rover Defender 300TDI 110Registration no. L392 DJFChassis no. SALLDHAF7MA945308Engine no. 16L04613AOdometer reading: 11,334MOT: 12/08/2022 *Converted to four-person seating*Used sparingly in recent years*Serviced annuallyFollowing the successful reception of the all-new Land Rover Discovery model in 1989, it was decided to give the traditional Land Rover its own name: Defender. Now boasting bold 'Defender' logos, the Land Rover continued its seemingly inexorable process of development, gaining disc brakes and power assisted steering as standard during the 1990s together with a host of other improvements. Despite, or perhaps because of, being recognisable related to the very first Land Rover of 1948, the Defender retained a steadfastly loyal customer base; indeed, in the UK in 2013 it even managed to out-sell the Range Rover. The aforementioned upgrades would continue to be made regularly until production of the traditional Land Rover Defender ceased in January 2016. This two-door Defender underwent full refurbishment in 2006 including conversion for four-person seating with two sideways-folding seats in the rear, the latter making for a flexibly large loading area (see detailed bill on file). Access to the rear seats is via the rear door, and saddle racks have been installed (the vehicle has been used to tow a horse trailer). A new turbocharger and alloy wheels were fitted during the refurbishment, and the Defender has a new speedometer. Mileage prior to the latter's replacement is estimated at circa 75,000, while a total of 11,588 miles have been covered during the current ownership. The vehicle has been serviced annually by Mark Smith of Bicester and comes with service records dating back to 2015. Pony riding activities having ceased, the Defender is now little used.

1973 BMW 3.0 CSL CoupéRegistration no. UEC 154MChassis no. 2285342Odometer reading: 86,885MOT: Exempt*Present ownership for 40-plus years*Reconditioned engine fitted at 68,000 miles (circa 19,000 miles ago)*Requires re-commissioning following period of storage1973 was a landmark year for BMW, for not only did the German manufacturer power Jean-Pierre Jarier to the European Formula 2 Championship, it also captured the European Touring Car Championship using one of the most iconic racing 'saloons' of modern times: the 3.0 CSL (Coupé Sport Leicht) homologation special, known popularly as the 'Batmobile'. Powered initially by a fractionally over-bored (3,003cc) engine (enabling it to compete in the over 3-litre class) the 3.0 CSL came with 206bhp for road use and well over 300 horsepower for the track. The current vendor has owned this rare right-hand drive BMW 3.0 CSL for the last 40-plus years, during the course of which it has been used for several European tours. While in the vendor's ownership the car has benefited from ongoing restoration and regular maintenance, most significantly the installation of a new 'factory' reconditioned engine at 68,000 miles (receipts available). Stored for a period of time, the car will require general re-commissioning before further use; in that connection it should be noted that the tyres need replacing and that, although the engine runs, the injector seals are leaking. Finished in gold with original black cloth/vinyl interior, the CSL comes with a V5C Registration Certificate and a fully documented history.With only 1,039 CSLs produced between 1973 and 1975 compared to over 19,000 standard CS/CSi models, these 'specials' will always be relatively rare and today this ultimate BMW coupé is highly sought after. £60,000 - 80,000Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 77/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

2005 Bentley Continental Flying Spur SaloonRegistration no. LJ05 BBFChassis no. SCBBE53W96C031037Odometer reading: 58,950MOT: 26/07/2022*Landmark modern Bentley*58,950 miles from new*Full service history (bar one service)The Continental Flying Spur was a derivative of the Continental GT, the first model introduced by Bentley Motors following its acquisition by the Volkswagen Group in 1998 and the first Bentley to employ mass production manufacturing techniques. Premiered in 2003 at the Geneva Motor Show, the Bentley Continental GT realised the concept of the 1994 Java concept car as a more affordable Bentley, to be manufactured in larger volumes than hitherto had been the norm.The Continental GT was powered by a 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine producing 552bhp and 479lb/ft of torque. A Torsen-type permanent four-wheel-drive six-speed transmission was standard equipment, and the Continental GT could accelerate from 0-62mph in 4.8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 197.6mph. A mechanically identical Continental GTC Convertible was made available for 2006, followed by another version of the Coupé: the range-topping GT Speed. Before then (in 2005) Bentley had launched the Continental Flying Spur, a four-door saloon variant that took its name from the 1960s original. Currently displaying a total of 58,950 miles on the odometer, this magnificent Bentley Continental Flying Spur is finished in Navy Blue with Cream/Navy Blue leather interior, the latter equipped with a rear entertainment system including headphones. The car has had only two owners from new and comes with its Bentley service book recording full service history (bar one service). Last serviced 2,000 miles ago, the car comes with bills totalling £15,000, two sets of keys, and a V5C document.

1975 Chevrolet El CaminoRegistration no. KKH 990NChassis no. AAPV0241210589869Odometer reading: 6,571MOT: Exempt*Built for the South African market*Right-hand drive*Automatic transmission*Restored in South Africa in the 2000sNowadays an integral part of American popular culture, the pickup truck has come to be thought of as the modern-day equivalent of the cowboy's horse. Once viewed as strictly utilitarian commercial vehicles, they were seized on as ideal candidates for customising and hot-rodding in the post-war era, and today, like so many fashions that start in the USA, enjoy a cult following worldwide. General Motors rationalised its truck production in 1911, introducing the 'GMC' brand name, to which Chevrolet was added during WWI. Chevrolet's El Camino pickup (or coupé utility vehicle) was first introduced in 1959 in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero, which, unusually for a pickup, featured an integral body/chassis rather than the traditional separate frame. In the El Camino's case it was adapted from the Biscayne two-door station wagon platform. This car is an example of the fourth generation, which was based on the station wagon from the Chevelle line-up and was built from 1973 to 1977. It has the 250ci (4.1-litre) six-cylinder engine and automatic transmission. This El Camino was built in right-hand drive configuration for the South African market and was imported from there in January 2019. Restored in South Africa in the early 2000s, the car still presents well, but having been unused since importation will require some re-commissioning before returning to active use.

Clothed in stylish bodywork by Stanley Riley, the Coventry marque's pre-war offerings were among the world's finest small-capacity sporting cars. Right from the start it was obvious that the 9hp Riley engine possessed enormous potential as a competition unit, and at Brooklands J G Parry-Thomas and Reid Railton were the first to demonstrate just how good it was. The success of their racer led to a production version, the Speed Model, which would turn out to be merely the first in a lengthy series of memorable Riley sports cars. This Riley Nine was restored in the 1990s, having being re-bodied with open tourer coachwork in the early 1970s, and more recently was re-trimmed and fitted with a new hood and side screens. The current vendor purchased the Riley at a UK auction in November 2017, at which time it was reported to be in good all-round condition. During the present ownership the Riley has been serviced by marque specialists Blue Diamond Services, who last checked over the engine in August 2021, while the electrics were rewired in 2018. Finished in cream with black wings and dark blue interior, this very attractive Nine comes with a file containing sundry invoices; some old MoT certificates; a V5C registration document; and Riley Register history. Running and driving, this is sensibly priced entry-level VSCC car that is certain to provide the fortunate next owner with lots of fun.

The V5 models are well worth seeking out and the V6 4MOTION cars make fine high-speed cruisers. If you really want a Golf laden with a ton of attitude however, you owe it to yourself to track down a used Golf R32. It's a Golf like no other.' – RAC Drive magazine. The Mk4 version of Volkswagen's outstandingly successful Golf hatchback was first introduced in August 1997, followed by saloon (Bora) and estate (Variant) versions. New high-performance models included the 3.2-litre V6-engined Golf R32. Introduced in 2002, the R32 featured '4MOTION' four-wheel drive, VW considering its 232bhp maximum to be too much for the front wheels to cope with alone. It certainly put the power down effectively, helping the R32 reach 60mph in around 6.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 153mphServiced annually, this collectible Golf R32 comes with full main dealer service history with VW Oxford from the beginning of its life. The car came into the present ownership in November 2005 when it was two years old, and all subsequent bills have been kept. The last bill, though not from a main dealer, is dated 28/10/2021 for fitting new VAG front shock absorbers. VW bills on file total some £17,000, and the car also comes with its original wallet, stamped service book (2011-2021), V5C document, and an original can of touch-up paint.

1931 Austin Seven TourerRegistration no. 0W59Chassis no. 115189Engine no. M113593Odometer reading: TBCMOT: Exempt *Ideal VSCC entry level motoring*Older restored example*Much used and enjoyed exampleThis car, along with others from the same vendor, has been standing for up to 25 years. Her husband died in 1996, and his collection of cars remained mostly unused from that point until I was asked to see them with a view to their sale by auction. They were all stored over that time in a purpose-built building that was heated, and dehumidified, which the deceased gentleman had had constructed solely for the purpose of storing his cars. Having been standing for that period of time, they will require careful re-commissioning and safety checks prior to use by a new owner. However, during our inspection and photography of the vehicles we have found that all are rolling, most have operable handbrakes, and some of the clutches are also operable.OW 59 was purchased by the vendor's deceased husband at an indeterminate time prior to 1988. Thereafter the Austin was used on a regular basis most years, for shows and rallies, with various members of the family driving it.It has a full hood plus side screens. As noted above, it will require careful re-commissioning and safety checks prior to use by a new owner.Documentation includes current V5C, a continuation RF60 old log book dating from October 1952, a maintenance history log covering a period from late 1955 to 1964, some expired MoT certificates, and miscellaneous papers.Presently on SORN.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 39/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1972 Aston Martin V8 Series 2 Sports SaloonRegistration no. TYY 529LChassis no. V810565RCAEngine no. V/540/1438Odometer reading: TBCMOT: Exempt *The 65th Series 2 V8 produced*Automatic transmission*In dry storage for 30-plus years*Offered for re-commissioningAlthough always intended to house the new Tadek Marek-designed V8, the DBS first appeared with the 4.0-litre six of the concurrently produced DB6. Styled in-house by Bill Towns, the four-seater DBS employed a platform-type chassis with independent suspension all round: wishbone and coil-spring at the front, De Dion with Watts linkage at the rear. Bigger and more luxuriously appointed than the DB6, the heavier DBS disappointed some by virtue of its slightly reduced performance, but there were no complaints when the V8 arrived in 1969. With an estimated 345bhp available from its 5,340cc, fuel-injected, four-cam motor, the DBS V8 could reach 100mph in under 14 seconds, running on to a top speed of 160mph - a staggering performance in those days and one which fully justified the claim that it was the fastest production car in the world. Even in automatic transmission form the V8 could reach 100mph in around 15 seconds and better 145mph flat-out. In 1972 the acquisition of Aston Martin by Company Developments brought with it a change of name for the V8-engined cars: out went DBS V8, in came AM V8. This new Series 2 was readily distinguishable by its restyled front that now featured two instead of four headlamps and recalled the looks of the earlier DB six-cylinder cars. Electronic ignition and air conditioning were now standard. The 65th Series 2 V8 produced, '10565' was previously registered '2 BLW' (1983) and has been in dry storage for the last 30-plus years (the engine has not been turned over). The car is offered for re-commissioning and sold strictly as viewed.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 42/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1953 Kaiser Manhattan SedanChassis no. 022119Engine no. 1149788Odometer reading: 89,066MOT: Exempt *Offered without reserve*Milestone model*Exceptional styling*Present ownership since 2004Newcomer Kaiser-Frazer stole a march on the Detroit establishment with the launch of an all-new range in August 1946. Styled by gifted designer Howard 'Dutch' Darrin, the '47 Kaisers featured a straight-through fender line linking front and rear wings, a styling device setting them apart from the mainly pre-war designs of the majors, and one that would prove highly influential. Founded by shipbuilding magnate Henry J Kaiser and Graham-Paige executive Joseph Frazer, the fledgling marque prospered briefly, producing a number of novel designs that included saloon-like hatchbacks and four-door convertibles. By 1949, however, sales were in decline, and to remedy matters Darrin was re-hired. The resulting '51 Kaisers were an audacious step forward in automotive styling, featuring a low waistline and generous glass area as aspects of a look that was well ahead of its time. The mildly face-lifted Manhattan was introduced for '52 as a new top-of-the-range model, undergoing a more radical makeover for 1954, a process which, if anything, improved an already state-of-the-art design. The 226.2ci (3.7-litre) six-cylinder sidevalve engine also came in for revision, gaining a McCulloch supercharger that raised maximum power from 115 to 140bhp. Sadly, this was all too late to save Kaiser-Willys, as the company had become, which ended passenger car production the following year. This Kaiser Manhattan was purchased by the vendor from Mirbach Hanse GmbH of Hamburg, Germany in October 2004. An increasingly collectible milestone model in the history of a charismatic yet neglected marque, the car is offered with a bill of sale copy and a Swedish vehicle identity document. This rare and stylish car has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

1987 Audi Quattro CoupéRegistration no. D757 BAVChassis no. WAUZZZ85ZHA024459Engine no. WV035068Odometer reading: 218,000MOT: 21/10/2022 *Iconic four-wheel drive sports model*Stored for 11 years*Recent specialist re-commissioningOne of the most influential designs of recent decades, the Audi Quattro brought four-wheel drive into the motoring mainstream. Introduced in 1980, the Quattro was based on the outwardly similar Coupé's bodyshell, but used a different floor pan to accommodate its four-wheel-drive transmission and independent rear suspension. The engine was a development of the five-cylinder, 2.1-litre unit first seen in the 200 saloon, equipped with a KKK turbocharger and producing 197bhp in road trim, considerably more being available in competition tune. Engine capacity was later raised to 2.2 litres; maximum power stayed at 197bhp but with peak torque lower in the rev range. As a rally car the Quattro excelled, winning the Manufacturers' Championship for Audi in 1982 and 1984 and the Driver's Championship in 1983 and '84, but its enduring legacy would be the demonstration of four-wheel drive's advantages for passenger cars. Retaining its original Ronal alloy wheels, this 2.2-litre Quattro was recently re-commissioned by Quattro Tech Cambridge following 11 years in storage. Systems overhauled included the fuel injection, with a new fuel pump and filter fitted, together with a new ignition system, a new starter motor, and a new battery. Accompanying receipts detail the many new parts fitted. Finished in white with grey cloth interior, the car is has 218,000 miles showing on the odometer and is described by the vendor as in generally very good condition. An all-time classic, the car is offered with a V5C document; MoT to October 2022; and the aforementioned receipts.

Formerly the property of the Maharajah of Burdwan1927 Rolls-Royce 20HP TourerCoachwork by Hooper & CoRegistration no. DS 7695Chassis no. GAJ81Odometer reading: tbcMOT: Exempt*Offered without reserve*Shipped to India as a 'Trials' car (demonstrator)*Owned by the Maharajah of Burdwan for some six years*First UK registered in 1988'This model was introduced to meet requests for a smaller, less expensive car in keeping with the trend after the First World War towards smaller cars for a wider market. Construction was simplified - but standards of workmanship were not compromised...' - Edward Eves, Rolls-Royce - 75 Years of Motoring Excellence.Produced alongside the renowned Silver Ghost, the 20hp model was equally as well engineered and became popular as a lighter alternative suitable for a wide range of body styles. The 3.1-litre, six-cylinder monobloc engine featured overhead valves with an in-unit gearbox, single plate clutch, and open prop-shaft with spiral bevel final drive. As company founder Henry Royce said when the car was introduced, 'simplicity was one of the aims of the designers, but not at the expense of perfection'. Intended principally as an 'owner/driver' car, the 'Twenty' sold well during the period following hostilities, being popular as a town car, while many were fitted with touring bodies.Accompanying copy chassis records show that 'GAJ81' was bodied by Hooper & Co as an open tourer and shipped to India in September 1927 for use as a 'Trials' car (demonstrator). Its first private owner (from 7th December 1928) was the Maharajah of Burdwan, who was followed by Mr D L Dhur of Calcutta (from 24th May 1934). It is not known when the Rolls-Royce first returned to the UK, but the accompanying old-style V5 document records the date of first registration as 1st April 1988. The current vendor purchased the car at a UK auction in May 2010 (copy bill of sale on file). This most attractive 20hp has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.
