1990 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC Transmission: automaticMileage:150002The W126 was the flagship series for Mercedes-Benz. Debuted in September 1979 as the successor to the earlier W116 range, the W126 was the second generation to officially bear the S-Class name referring to Sonderklasse or 'special class'. The W126 was initially offered with straight-six, V8, and turbo diesel engine saloon cars but in September 1981, a two-door coupé version of the W126 was introduced. Compared to its predecessor, the W126 was more aerodynamic, fuel efficient, capacious and powerful. The W126 S-Class sported a new Mercedes-Benz design style which was subsequently used on other vehicles in the company's line-up. The W126 line also introduced many Mercedes-Benz safety innovations, including the first airbag supplemental restraint systems, seatbelt pre-tensioners and traction control system.Registered new on 1st August 1990 this 500 SEC is presented in black coachwork and looks superb. The paintwork is good and retains a deep shine and the interior presents very well. Very few examples are offered in black making this a very rare sight indeed. Supplied with old MoT test certificates and the UK V5 registration document the Mercedes is offered without reserve and is a superb opportunity to acquire a nicely presented example.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1969 Ford Cortina Mk. II Savage Transmission: manualMileage:13Fully nut and bolt restoredRic Wood 3.4 litre engineSold from the estate of Alan MonkleyThe Ford Cortina Savage was the incarnation of racing driver Jeff Uren and produced by his own company, Race Proven Limited, who took a Ford Cortina saloon and ‘shoehorned’ the Essex V6 three litre engine into the vehicle. The gearbox was taken from the Ford Corsair 2000E. Weber carburettor, uprated brakes, electric cooling fan, differential, dampers, additional fuel tank and exhaust were all modifications together with the dashboard, alloy wheels and badges made for this unique motor vehicle. Jeff Uren had raced for and managed the Ford Works team before joining the Willment race team, which fielded Ford Falcons, Galaxies, Cobras, GT40s, and, most famously, the humble Cortina Mk. I. Uren was responsible for the development of the Willment Sprint GT Mk. I Cortina. When John Willment gave up racing, Uren set up Race Proved Performance and Racing Equipment Limited as his own company in 1967. The first car to have the Savage treatment (by dropping in a Ford 3.0 litre Essex V6 engine and re-engineering the suspension) was the Mk. II Cortina; this then progressed to Mk. IIIs, Mk. IVs and even a one-off Mk. V Cortina.In Graham Robson's ‘The Story of Ford's Best-Seller’, Uren recalled, Walter Hayes (the then head of Ford GB’s PR), wangled quite a lot of 1600E Cortina’s for us to convert although they were very scarce at the time. He approved of the Savage because it put Fords into the hands of a different class of user, older people, quite well-off, who bought them as fun cars.This example of the raucous Savage Cortina is presented in black with matching trim and complementary wood veneer wrapping the 1600 dash. First registered in April 1969, the car has been owned by the vendor since 1989. The car is in stunning fully nut and bolt condition and testament to the skills and persistence of Mr. Monkley whom cherished and restored this car that also boasts a Simpson exhaust. The car has a comprehensive history file and is well known to the Savage register/owner’s club as was Mr. Monkley. The engine is a 3.4 litre Ric Wood Essex engine and was rebuilt in 2009 for which the invoice is found in the history file along with countless invoices and receipts.Interested parties should note that this example has very recently been restored and thus some minor fettling and running in will be expectedInterested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1990 Mercedes-Benz 420 SEC Transmission: automaticMileage:205586The W126 was a series of flagship vehicles for Mercedes-Benz. Debuted in September 1979 as the successor to the earlier W116 range, the W126 was the second generation to officially bear the S-Class name referring to Sonderklasse or ‘special class’. The W126 was initially offered as straight-6, V8 and turbo diesel engine saloon cars. In September 1981, a two-door Coupé version of the W126 was introduced.

The W126 line also introduced many Mercedes-Benz safety innovations, including the first airbag supplemental restraint systems, seatbelt pre-tensioners and traction control system.Registered on 16th May 1990 this example is presented in metallic blue coachwork over a contrasting interior. The paintwork is well and shows little sign of age, and the interior is very good with very few blemishes to show. This Mercedes-Benz 420 SEC is supplied with a history file containing previous MoT test certificates and the UK V5 registration document.

1998 Aston Martin DB7 Volante Transmission: automaticMileage:46763The Aston Martin DB7 was designed by Ian Callum and debuted at the 1993 Geneva Motorshow. Taking many of its design influences from earlier Aston Martin models including the DB4/5/6, it is regarded as one of the most beautiful Aston’s ever built. Production of the latest Aston Martin moved from Aston’s iconic home of Newport Pagnell to a purpose built facility in Bloxham, Oxfordshire. The DB7 was launched with a six-cylinder 3.2 litre supercharged engine which produced 335bhp and boasted a 0-60mph of 5.2 seconds. This powerful engine propelled the DB7 on to a top speed of 157mph. As with the handbuilt Aston Martins, only the finest materials were used including full Bridge of Weir leather for the sumptuous interior, aluminium instrument surrounds and tread plates.This Aston Martin DB7 Volante is finished in Pennine Grey metallic with charcoal full leather interior. This beautiful example has covered a mere 45,270 miles from new. The comprehensive specification includes 18” alloy wheels, CD autochanger, heated seats, air conditioning and heated windscreen. Supplied new by Stratstone Mayfair to Saatchi & Saatchi, this stunning example boasts an impressive service history with 24 service stamps, the last of which was carried out by Aston Service London in April 2019 at 45,260 miles. In March 2021 at 45,994 miles the engine was fully rebuilt by Aston Service London, this included a new set of Ross pistons, the supercharger was also reconditioned at the same time. Prior to completion the car also had a new set of front brake discs and pads fitted, the total invoice cost was £11,353.96. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 28th April 2022, this is a perfect opportunity to own such an iconic British classic that presents in beautiful condition.  Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1961 MG A Coupé (1600) Transmission: manualMileage:When the MGA arrived in 1955, it must have come as quite a shock to MG aficionados who had become accustomed to the pre-war look of the company's sports cars. It was a complete departure in styling and its beautiful, streamlined body was right up to the minute in terms of appearance. It was powered by a new engine; MG had decided that the old XPAG unit had had its day and so introduced a much more modern B Series engine that had made its debut in the recently announced Magnette saloon. The 'A' was officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955. Only 5,869 cars were sold on the home market, giving the MGA the highest export percentage of any British car and was replaced by the MGB in May 1962.This delightful example of the MGA is presented in a modern grey with complementary red trim, it was first registered on 24th April 1961 making this a late car in the production life of the A. The chromework is all in very good order including the optional luggage holder, the interior befits a restored example such as this and is indeed a lovely place to be. The engine bay is simply lovely and upon inspecting this car it certainly gives the impression that it has been a labour of love and is a cherished example. In this condition, this is a very desirable British sports car perfect for weekend blasts in the countryside or touring further afield and viewing highly recommended.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1997 Mercedes-Benz SL60 AMG Transmission: automaticMileage:78258Launched in 1989, the R129-series continued the SL dynasty from Mercedes-Benz, a 'Sport Lightweight' family which began in 1954 with the legendary 300SL Roadster and 'Gullwing' has survived into its 6th generation with the current R231-series. Traditionally the most sporting model of the MB line-up, the SL was the preserve of the rich and famous when new. From the hypnotic dance of the electric hood mechanism to the rollbar that automatically flips up if the car senses an accident. The SL oozed sophistication with all the latest technology such as adaptive suspension with active damping, airbags, traction control, air conditioning and a superb new five-link rear suspension all as standard.The Mercedes-Benz SL60 was the short-number production AMG variant SL deemed, at the time, to be the flagship of the range. Its enormously powerful and ultra-smooth six-litre V8 engine delivered ferocious performance which could be enjoyed from the luxury cabin which Mercedes-Benz is renowned for. This example is particularly special being one of just 49 right hand drive cars produced. With just 78,258 miles recorded from new, the condition is very good indeed. Offered in Silver with blue leather trim and genuine AMG exhaust tips this facelift model boasts a new soft top and has refurbished wheels, thus is described by the vendor as an exceptionally clean example. Much expenditure has been carried out with one of the country’s leading specialists, the SL Shop, which is documented in the history file. Costing more than £105,000 when new and delivering close to 410bhp with an (unlimited) top speed of more than 185mph and 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, this is a remarkable piece of engineering excellence. To blend such incredible performance with predictable handling and a sumptuous, electronics-packed, leather-bound cabin is a feat that was only achieved by Mercedes-Benz in the nineties. Now revered as a bonafide 'future classic' we believe this car represents a rare opportunity at today's guide price.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2000 Porsche Boxster Transmission: manualMileage:39488The first-generation Boxster (the 986) was introduced in late 1996 and was powered by a 2.5 litre flat, six-cylinder engine. Harm Lagaay's design, inspired by the 356 Speedster and 550 Spyder, stimulated a commercial turnaround for Porsche. Many believe the introduction of the Boxster helped save Porsche from acquisition. It was Porsche's first water-cooled, non-front engine sports car as the Boxster is mid-engine, while in the 911, rear-engine. This layout provided a low centre of gravity, near-perfect weight distribution and good handling. In 2000, the new Boxster S variant was introduced with a larger 3.2 litre engine and the base model received a more powerful 2.7 litre engine. In 2003, styling and engine output was upgraded on both variants. Production of the 986 began at the former Porsche 928 facility in Stuttgart, Germany in 1996. The Boxster was Porsche's biggest volume seller from its introduction in 1996 until the company introduced the Cayenne sport utility vehicle in 2003.This lovely example in dark metallic grey with black leather interior is presented in good condition throughout and comes with air conditioning, electric windows and has a valid MoT test certificate which expires October 2022. It is powered by the smooth 2.7 litre engine mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. It also comes with two sets of keys and has had three former keepers.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1953 Land Rover Series I 80" Transmission: manualMileage:103In the aftermath of the Second World War, Rover's chief engineer Maurice Wilks used a ‘demobbed' Willys Jeep around his farm in Anglesey and was impressed with its abilities. Eventually, it wore out and he was keen to replace it with a British vehicle, however, nothing remotely similar was available. Coincidentally, his brother Spencer, who was Managing Director at Rover, had reached the same conclusion as he struggled to get his Rover 10 to reach the more inaccessible parts of his estate on Islay. This is where `The Best 4x4 by Far' started - a utility vehicle devised in 1947, they would have no idea that Maurice's resulting design would become an icon and launch a whole new industry sector. The vehicle appeared as the 'Land Rover' in 1948 and proved so popular with the military and the farming fraternity that demand massively outstripped supply.This Series I Land Rover was supplied new in ‘kit form’ to Australia in 1953, which was common for the era. In 2016 the car was repatriated to the UK and the vendor set about carrying out a total nut and bolt restoration from top to bottom. The bodywork was bare metal stripped and any corrosion cut-out and repaired as necessary. The paint remains in exceptional condition with all the body panels visually straight. Mechanically this Series I has been very well sorted, the engine was stripped, rebored and rebuilt using as many new parts as possible. The axles were overhauled as was the gearbox. A comprehensive selection of photographs depicts the extent of the restoration, the fastidious vendor even made sure he replaced most of the nuts and bolts with the original ones estimating that these alone cost him circa £1,000. Having covered just 103 miles since the restoration and only being sold due to health issues, this Land Rover Series I is a fine example and viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the extent of the rebuild and quality. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1978 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II Transmission: automaticMileage:51945The Silver Shadow broke new ground for the Crewe Company in a number of key areas, from the sophisticated fully independent suspension with an advanced self-levelling system to the four-wheel ventilated disc brakes. The only major components carried over from the Silver Cloud III was the excellent, all aluminium, 6.2 litre V8 and four-speed automatic transmission with fluid flywheel, the latter replaced by GM’s excellent 400 three-speed box in October 1968, while the engine was enlarged to 6.75 litres the following year. Although no power output was ever divulged by the company, merely described as ‘adequate’, the Silver Shadow’s superior aerodynamics meant the car was perfectly happy cruising the motorways. No less than eight individual Connolly hides were used to trim the interior of each car and the standard of finish on the upholstery, rich Wilton carpets and burr walnut veneers was impeccable. Each Silver Shadow employed 20 electric motors, powering everything from the radio antenna to adjusting the individual front seats. Build quality on the Silver Shadow remained unsurpassed, each taking no less than 12 weeks to build from start to finish.Presented in Shell Grey with Charcoal leather trim this left hand drive 1978 Silver Shadow II was repatriated from the US in 2018 and presents very well having been used by our vendor during European trips when travel allowed. Benefitting from works in our vendors tenure include new front calipers, and brake hoses coupled to new front suspension and upper inner mounts. The steering rack has been overhauled and transmission serviced before the carburettors were overhauled. A new battery has been recently fitted along with a new exhaust manifold gasket with new door seals showing a good level of maintenance. Unfortunate lack of storage has led our vendor to look to part with his Shadow but offered without reserve this is a very attractive prospect for a luxury 1970’s Rolls-Royce.Guide Price £7,000 - £12,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1980 Porsche 911 / 930 Turbo with RUF upgrades Transmission: manualMileage:65000In the early 1970's, Porsche had designs on racing a turbocharged version of the 911 and the Porsche 911 Turbo or 930 was born. It was the fastest production car available on the market. Adding this level of power to the already powerful car created a vehicle that was not for the faint hearted. In skilled hands, however, a 930 will show a clean pair of heels to most of its rivals. It was based around the Carrera RS 3.0, the engine from which was modified, courtesy of turbo technology. Initially, power output was 260bhp but from 1978, it was increased to 300bhp by raising the engine capacity to 3.3 litres as is the case in this instance.Appearing to originally sell in Japan, this 3.3 litre model was then re-imported back to Europe in 2019. Needless to say, VAT and duty has been accounted for and a UK V5C and MoT test certificate can be found within the history file. It would also appear that, in 2016, the engine & gearbox was dropped out for an engine rebuild with heads off and pistons and liners refitted with specialists, ‘Autoumbau Porsche’ in Bedfordshire with a total bill of a shade under £10,000. At the same time, correct and period leather seats were installed as well as a decent service, chain tensioners, pipe-work and new sound-deadener. In addition to this mechanically clean bill of health, German specialist, RUF, have supplied a number of upgrades for this car including dials, gearstick and the all-important boost-control. The classic 930 Turbo will always stand out as the 911 to have and the specification here is great.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1994 Renault Alpine A610 Turbo Transmission: manualMileage:64794Significant investment in 2012 and 2013Very good historyProduced by Renault-owned French carmaker Alpine during the first half of the smashing 1990s (1991 to 1995), the A610 had all the attributes of a sports car... or at least the ones that were common during the day; for example, the pop-up headlights, the rear-engine and rear wheel drive layout, complete with a cool turbocharged 3.0litre V6 engine. The A610 draws power from the well-known PRV (nicknamed because the series was jointly created by Peugeot, Renault, and Volvo) producing 247 horsepower.Originally registered on 7th January 1994, this delightful Renault presents in very good order and has clearly been exceptionally well cared for. In 2012 she had a documented speedometer change, the old one is supplied and was reading 61,332 when it stopped. The current odometer reading is 3,462 making the total mileage this Alpine has covered 64,794. The original service books and handbook together with the black leather pouch are supplied with this A610 Turbo together with a comprehensive and interesting history folder, with invoices dating back to 2001. In August 2012 at the time of the odometer change other work was carried out on the car, notably maintenance to the brakes and the air conditioning system. In August 2013, it was decided to bring this rare Renault back up to standard and the car was sent to Renault Alpine Tuning Services for the bodywork to be attended to in a major way. The engine gearbox and subframe were removed, the various panels were removed and repairs carried out to the footwells, sills, outriggers and rear turrets with panels being refabricated where necessary. At the same time a new water pump was fitted, together with a new starter motor, alternator and clutch. The car was then painted in the original colour and to a very good standard, the total cost of this documented work was £12,460. The car is supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 11th May 2022 together with all the previous MoT’s dating back until 3rd July 2000. Finding one of the 760 Alpine A610s produced is laborious, finding one of the 67 right hand drive examples in this condition is even more difficult. With its supercar performance and looks, these impressive Renaults are underrated and offer good investment potential.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1964 Jaguar Mk. II (3.8 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:66114Synonymous with the swinging ‘60’s and the hit TV series, Inspector Morse, the Jaguar Mk. II Saloon has been used as a vehicle to transport everyone from dignitaries and politicians to bank robbers and the criminal select. Desirable due to being a well-balanced saloon car with space for four adults and a good size boot, it also boasted engine options including the mighty Jaguar 3.8 litre power unit; small wonder it became popular as a getaway vehicle. When released, traditional Jaguar buyers had no need to feel alienated by the new offering from Coventry as the interior was up to their usual standards with leather and walnut being the order of the day.This Jaguar Mk. II was first registered on 16th December 1964 and presents in delightful condition. The red coachwork is in good order as is the interior trim. The 3.8 litre engine is mated to a manual gearbox with overdrive resulting in this being a great car to drive with ample performance and good roadholding. Sitting proudly on a relatively new set of chrome wire wheels, this Jaguar comes with a large history folder confirming it has been a well looked after example. The XK engine started on the button when requested and ran smoothly with good oil pressure, she is described by the vendor as driving with no known faults. The chromework on this Jaguar is in good condition, open the driver’s door and the aesthetically pleasing dashboard is also in good order. The history folder confirms the mileage of 25,771 back in 1970, it is thought the odometer reading of 66,114 is correct although this is not warranted. Supplied with a V5C registration document, this Mk. II 3.8 offers presence, style and comfort in abundance.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1984 Land Rover Series III Transmission: manualMileage:46500Land Rovers were inspired by the US-built Willys Jeep immediately after the war and by 1992, Land Rover claimed that 70% of all the vehicles they had ever built were still in use. Before the war, Rover had produced luxury cars which ceased to be in demand in the immediate post-war period and raw materials were strictly rationed to those companies building construction or industrial equipment. Rover's original factory in Coventry had also been bombed, forcing the company to move into a huge factory it had built in Solihull to construct aircraft. The Series III is the most common vehicle, with 440,000 of the type built from 1971 to 1985. The headlights were moved to the wings and the traditional metal grille featured on its predecessor, was replaced with a plastic one. The production run for the Series III was from 1971 through to 1985 and during this cycle (1976) the 1,000,000th Land Rover rolled off the production line. The Series III saw many changes in the later part of its life as Land Rover updated the design to meet increased competition.This great looking Land Rover was originally registered and used by The British Army. The spare wheel is bonnet mounted to allow for additional room in the load space area. This long wheel base example has benefitted from recent works which includes a rebuild of the 2.3 litre petrol engine, a new clutch and four new tyres. These superb vehicles are the ultimate utilitarian mode of transport, happy on the road and equally as happy driving through a muddy field. Supplied with a UK V5C registration document and, unusually, some army history in addition to several recent invoices.

1966 Ford Mustang Fastback Transmission: automaticMileage:55150The Ford Mustang was the brainchild of Lee Iacocca and was branded as the first 'Pony Car', borne out of a need to compete with the flood of European sportscars coming into the USA in the sixties. The first production Mustang rolled off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan on 9th March 1964 and was introduced to the public at the New York World's Fair on 17th April 1964.Manufactured in 1966 at the Dearborn plant, this Mustang Fastback is presented in metallic blue with black leather trim. Fully restored in 2014, it was purchased by the current owner in 2015. This automatic 2+2 Fastback boasts a 289 C-Code engine which sounds glorious upon start-up and is coupled to a GT twin exhaust system. Sitting on GT Cobra 17 inch wheels with uprated GT lights, this example boast all disc brakes with new pads, a centre console and power steering. Available in the history file, a 16 pages report and full car survey from March 2021 by Classic Car Surveys describes the car as exceptional and is valued at £37,000.

1999 Bentley Arnage Green Label Transmission: automaticMileage:104310The Bentley Arnage was launched in 1998, a large luxury saloon car that replaced the previous Bentley Turbo saloon. Built in Crewe from 1998 to 2009, the Arnage and its Rolls-Royce sibling, the Silver Seraph, were introduced in the Spring of 1998 and were the first entirely new designs for the two marques since 1980 when the Silver Spirit and Mulsanne models were introduced. The Arnage Green Label was to be powered by a powerful BMW V8 engine with Cosworth-engineered twin-turbo chargers.Originally registered on 2nd April 1999, this Bentley is in the delightful colour combination of Peacock Blue with Parchment interior piped in blue. With 18 stamps in the service book, the last one at 104310 miles, it is clear this is a very well cared for example and sits on a well shod set of correct Avon Turbo speed tyres. The cabin area of these well-appointed vehicles is superb, with leather and wood in plentiful supply and as expected from such a prestigious marquee, the ride is exemplary. Fitted with the 4398cc BMW V8 engine, this Arnage is supplied with the original service books, two sets of keys, Wilton overmats and two umbrellas in the boot, together with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 21st October 2022.

1968 Lotus Elan plus 2 Transmission: manualMileage:63790Launched by Lotus in 1962, the two-seater Elan which had been a classic GT style 2+2 model was developed using a stretched chassis and widened track to accommodate two small rear seats. Improvements to the interior and the addition of front fog lights, in 1969, characterised the new Elan +2S but it wasn't until the much-awaited big valve head engines arrived early in 1971 that the Elan +2 really came of age thanks to the new 126bhp output. Known as the Elan Sprint, the same engine was transplanted into the +2S to create the Elan +2S 130. This version was capable of 125mph and 0-60 in just 7.4 seconds. It wasn't just the rapid performance that boosted Lotus's image but the fact that this model was the first that Lotus chose not to supply in kit form.This example has recently been imported from South Africa where it resided in a private collection. Presented in Team Lotus livery, the coachwork is well although there are some minor blemishes as you would expect for a car of this age. The interior is also in presentable order displaying a light patina. Powered by a 20 valve ‘silver top’ 4A-GE Toyota engine producing 160bhp and mated to a five-speed Toyota gearbox, this is a very fast example indeed and fitted with the desirable Toyota running gear it is rare opportunity not to be missed. The car is offered with an MoT test certificate valid until October 2022, UK Taxes paid documents and the NOVA form, ready for UK registration. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2004 Aston Martin Vanquish 2+2 Transmission: automaticMileage:35250An entirely new Aston Martin for the 21st Century, the Vanquish debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2001, with deliveries commencing a few months later. The Vanquish took over from the Vantage V8 with the Newport Pagnell factory undergoing an extensive multi-million pound refurbishment to accommodate it, gaining a new assembly line, paint shop, rolling road and water test facility. Styled by Ian Callum, the man responsible for the DB7, the Vanquish was developed with assistance from Aston Martin’s parent company Ford using constructional techniques more advanced than those of any current road car of that time. The 6.0 litre, 48 valve, V12 engine, the first of its type for Aston Martin, developed 460bhp at 6,800rpm, 400lb/ft of torque available at 5,500 revs. The state-of-the-art electronic engine management system provided ‘drive by wire’ throttle control and was linked to the six-speed manual gearbox’s electro-hydraulic change mechanism, a first for a production car. The gearchange was controlled by F1-style paddles and could be operated in either of two modes, fully manual or computer controlled automatic, with a ‘sport’ setting available on both. It was an instant sales success and its choice as transport for James Bond only added to the appeal. This truly stunning Aston Martin Vanquish 2+2 has only covered 35,250 miles and was supplied new in March 2004. The impressive list of factory fitted items include 19” multi spoke wheels, Xenon headlights, Alcantara roof lining, heated electric seats and the magnificent Linn audio upgrade with subwoofer. The service history is just as impressive and features ten main dealer stamps with the most recent service at 31,453 miles. This Aston Martin Vanquish is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in July 2022. Ever since the introduction of the DB9, Aston Martin have built a reputation for building the ultimate Gran Turismo cars, a combination of high performance with ultimate luxury and the Vanquish certainly continues this trend.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1995 BMW M3 Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:74000The E36 was BMW’s third generation of the popular executive car range. This variant was created to replace the, already successful, E30 chassis platform and benefited from a multilink rear suspension set-up that improved handling characteristics dramatically.This particular car was the flagship M3 variant offered in a bright Hellrot paint with the sought after Alcantara and cloth 'Vader' interior. The M3 was designed to give the driver a more focused and performance orientated driving experience. Powered by a high revving 3.0 litre engine producing an impressive 286bhp, the M3 had heaps of performance within a car that could be used every day. The M3 also benefited from improved brakes and a limited slip differential to separate it from the rest of the BMW range. The M3’s potential, affordable price tag and usability, propelled the car to automotive superstardom making it the benchmark coupé that other manufactures aim to compete with. The skyrocketing residual values of the earlier generation M3’s has had a halo effect on the rest of the BMW range over the last few years, meaning well maintained examples of the E36 are at an all-time high, making them highly desirable to any budding driver and collector looking for a fun vehicle to invest in.Specified from new with a five-speed manual gearbox, limited slip differential, E36 M3 'Vader' seats, electric sunroof, mirrors and windows and 'EVO' boot spoiler. Impressive provenance and history (with many stamps in the book), including the original driver’s manual, stamped maintenance book and black BMW wallet are found in the comprehensive history file accompanying this car. This is a stunning example of a truly eye-catching car which is certainly a future benchmark classic; certainly, one of the best we have had for sale for a long time and it even comes with its original toolkit!Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1965 Ford Mustang Convertible (289ci) Transmission: automaticMileage:26772The Ford Mustang is an American icon and was originally based on the Ford Falcon compact. The first production Mustang rolled off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan in March 1964 and was introduced to the public at the New York World's Fair on 17th April 1964. It was, and remains, one of the most successful product launches in automotive history. The Mustang sold over one million units in its first 18 months on the market and its legend lives on with revised models still in production today some 50 years after production commenced. With each revision, the Mustang saw an increase in overall dimensions and in engine power. By 1969, the muscle car race was on and Ford offered a 351 or 428 Cobra Jet and other performance engines in most models, although these were often ordered with the Fastback and Mach One cars. Ford added a Fastback to its 1965 Mustang line-up, but the convertible holds a special place in American culture and was heavily publicised as ‘a car to escape the mundane nature of life.’ Finished in burgundy metallic with excellent linen vinyl interior, this 1965 Mustang convertible has been the subject of an earlier restoration and presents extremely well. It is fitted with a power roof, automatic transmission and sits on a great set of 16 x 7 alloy road wheels. She has been equipped with the highly desirable ‘Borgeson’ power steering conversion and disc brakes to the front. The Borgeson system uses a new power steering box and Saginaw pump which powers the steering column and is more positive, giving a much better ‘feel’. The disc brake conversion uses all new parts and improves braking significantly. The 289ci engine has recently had new head gaskets fitted and is able to run on unleaded fuel. A four-barrel Edelbrock carburettor is fitted, and we are told this Mustang offers a spirited performance with a meaningful exhaust note. Registered in the UK and supplied with a V5C registration document, this Mustang is ready to be enjoyed immediately and is a real head turner.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1971 Triumph TR6 Transmission: manualMileage:3746The Triumph TR6 was manufactured for seven years from 1969 and by the time production came to an end in July 1976, it was the best-seller of the TR range. The bodywork closely resembled that of the previous model, the Triumph TR5, but the front and rear were squared off and all TR6s featured inline six-cylinder engines. For the US market, the engine was fitted with carburettors whilst, for other world markets including the UK, the TR6 was fitted with fuel-injection. It featured a four-speed manual gearbox, independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 15 wheels and tyres, pile carpet on the floors and boot, bucket seats and a full complement of instruments. In total 94,619 TR6s were built of which 86,249 were sold overseas and only 8,370 were sold in the UK.This desirable ‘CP’ 150bhp TR6 is a UK home market supplied example and is presented in red coachwork over a black interior and comes complete with a Mohair hood and desirable factory hardtop. The general condition of the Triumph is good and the paintwork, which has recently been treated to an extensive respray presents very well. Still retaining its original registration number, the TR6 also comes complete with its desirable factory hardtop. The history file that accompanies the car includes many old tax discs, various sundry bills, an invoice detailing the recent extensive respray (£4,030), photos of a previous restoration and 28 MoT test certificates. This well-presented example with its sizeable history file is a fantastic opportunity to acquire an original 150bhp, right hand drive Triumph TR6. Good examples are difficult to come across and this one should certainly not be overlooked. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1968 MGB Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:56739The MGB is a sports car launched in May 1962 to replace the MGA. Introduced as a four-cylinder roadster, a coupé with 2+2 seating was added in 1965. The MGB was a relatively modern design at the time of its introduction, utilising a monocoque structure instead of the traditional 'body-on-frame' construction used on both the MGA and MG T-types. The lightweight design reduced manufacturing costs while adding to overall vehicle strength. Wind-up windows were standard and a comfortable driver's compartment offered plenty of legroom. The MGB's performance was considered brisk at the time of its introduction with a 0-60mph time of just over 11 seconds aided by the relatively lightweight of the car. Handling was one of the MGB's strong points. The three-bearing 1798cc B-Series engine produced 95bhp at 5400rpm and the engine was upgraded in October 1964 to a five-bearing crankshaft in an effort to improve reliability. The MGB was one of the first cars to feature controlled crumple zones designed to protect the driver and passenger in a 30mph impact.This good looking MGB was registered on 23rd December 1968 and presents extremely well in the striking colour combination of black with a piped red interior and black roof. The looks of this desirable MG are enhanced by wire wheels with ‘knock off’ spinners. An updated stereo completes the driving pleasure, and we are informed by the vendor that XDH 999G is a joy to drive. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, this sensibly priced roadster is ready for a new owner on what will soon be its 53rd birthday.      Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1937 Bentley 4¼ litre Saloon by Freestone & Webb Transmission: automaticMileage:89750Bentley motorcars have always been built to be driven. That is as true today as it was in 1919 when W. O. Bentley designed the first vintage Bentley. The early history was written on the racetracks with the spirit of the Bentley Boys. They celebrated five magnificent Le Mans victories in the 1920's and in 2003, enjoyed a return to those glory years with a sixth win. When Rolls-Royce bought Bentley Motors, they shut down production of the 8 and 4½ litre. Then they had to decide what to do with the Bentley name as they couldn't afford to alienate their customer base and not build a new Bentley. The question was what sort of car to build; after several false starts, the Experimental Department developed a prototype car based on an earlier 18hp experimental chassis called the 'Peregrine' and a suitably tweaked 20/25hp engine; this combination proved to be a winner.Originally registered on 2nd March 1937 this Derby Bentley has been owned in the same family since 1986. The Freestone & Webb bodywork is a rare and unusual design often referred to as a ‘Top-hat’ roof line. The rest of the coachwork is in good proportion and this is a handsome 4¼ litre saloon. Having been off the road for the last 10 years, she will require work and recommissioning. Prior to being parked up she was running delightfully and the cylinder head has been converted to run on unleaded fuel. The registration number of DLP 52 is supplied with the Bentley and being a 4¼ litre saloon by Freestone & Webb, a very well respected coachbuilder, this is a car synonymous with British motoring heritage and as a complete example will make a very desirable projectInterested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1967 Triumph GT6 Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:69463 The GT6 was launched in 1966 as a fastback version of the popular Spitfire model. Powered by 2.0 litre engine from the Triumph 2000 the model enjoyed a production run until 1973. This new model, like the Spitfire, inherited what was essentially the Triumph Heralds chassis and running gear which had already proved capable of handling six-cylinder power when developed for the Vitesse saloon. With brisk performance and stylish looks the GT6 deserved its nickname of the ‘baby E-Type’ and today it is one of the most sought after post-war Triumph sports cars.Originally registered on 17th May 1967, this stunning GT6 presents wonderfully in Signal Red with a contrasting black interior. The car has benefitted from just three long term owners and retains a lot of its essential originality. The vendor tells us that when he purchased the car from its second owner, a rather strong-willed, former air hostess, he was ‘interviewed’ for his suitability in becoming the much-cherished cars new keeper. The impressive file for this attractive matching numbers Triumph contains previous MoT test certificates, various receipts and bills and shows a comprehensive recommissioning in 2009 costing £6,863. Also present is a Heritage Certificate confirming its matching numbers status and that the car was built with the option of a heater, wire wheels and windscreen washers. A copy of Triumph Sportscars by Andrea and David Sparrow is included in the sale and features OPK 640E. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, this well documented example with an interesting history and verifiable low-milage is realistically priced and could prove to be a fine future investment.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1971 Jaguar E-Type Series III 2+2 Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:76252By the mid-1960s, the Jaguar E-Type was appealing to the man with a young family but who were restricted by the size of the current Jaguar E-Type Coupé and its open topped sibling. This prompted Jaguar to offer a third option in the form of a 2+2 Coupé. By adding nine inches to the wheelbase and two inches in height, it was then possible to fit a rear seat capable of seating two adults in tolerable comfort. Of course, the rear seat was more suited to children or, as 'The Motor' put it at the time, the car could 'extend dad's youth for another seven years'. Robert Bell in Motor was quoted as saying at the time that all we expected to try was a new engine but what in fact we drove was a new car. Not a yowling, aggressive Ferrari-like machine with which, perhaps, most people associate a V12 engine but a very smooth, quiet and refined grand touring sports car.Manufactured on 3rd March 1971, this E-Type was built as a left hand drive model and was intended to be sold in Italy. However, as the Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirms, this order was cancelled and the car remained with Jaguar Cars. The car appears to have undergone a colour change from light blue to British Racing Green and converted to right hand drive before it was finally despatched to Coombs in Guildford on 30th March 1973. Presenting now in very good order throughout, this E-Type starts on the button and runs exceedingly well; these long-legged tourers are ideal for a trip to the coast or to the South of France. With only four previous keepers, this Jaguar has clearly been very well cared for. The beige leather trim complements the recently repainted exterior and the car also has a full length Webasto sunroof. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a good history folder, this classically dynamic design is still a head turner.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1966 Bentley T1 Two-Door Fixedhead Coupé Transmission: automaticMileage:91700The T-Series was the Bentley badged version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, available as a four or two-door saloon with coachwork by James Young or Mulliner Park Ward. In October 1966, the ‘T’ saloon's pre-tax 'list price' of £5,375 undercut the Rolls-Royce by £50! The Bentley was technically an identical twin of the Rolls-Royce and seemed to have been purchased mostly by owners wishing for a more understated luxury saloon. The former sporting image of Bentley motor cars differing from Rolls-Royces had gone by the time the Silver Shadow/Bentley ‘T’ was introduced and this was no longer a primary reason to purchase a Bentley over the Rolls-Royce sibling.This example was originally registered on 27th October 1966. Bentley T1’s are exceedingly rare with only 1,868 cars manufactured in total worldwide of which just 114 were built as two-door examples. The coachbuilders for this particular car were H.J. Mulliner Park Ward and the car bears a strong resemblance to its cousin, the Rolls-Royce Corniche. Supplied by Jack Barclay Ltd to Mr. Peter Cadbury at an invoice price of £8,742-19s-5d this Bentley T1 is in need of a total restoration. Supplied with a V5C registration document and the last MoT test certificate which expired on 5th June 2007 and a copy of the original factory build sheets, we are advised the engine has been started on this T1 recently. With Bentley rocker covers and dials, together with the traditional rounded grille, this two-door H.J. Mulliner Park Ward is a great car to restore and certainly deserves to be returned to its former glory.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1938 Fiat 508c New Balilla Spider Transmission: manualMileage:The charter establishing Fiat was signed in 1899 and a year later the factory opened and produced 24 cars in the first year. By 1908, Fiat had expanded throughout Europe and the United States and when World War I began production focused on supplying the army. After the war, during Mussolini’s rule, the company’s international presence was scaled back. By the early 1920s, production methods could not keep pace with the demand for automobiles. A new five story factory, the largest in Europe, opened in 1923 with a test track installed on the roof. The Fiat 508c was introduced as a small family car in 1937 as a replacement for the 508 Balilla. Under the new body, the 508c had a more modern and refined mechanics to include independent front suspension and an enlarged overhead valve engine. In 1939, it was updated and simply renamed the Fiat 1100, according to official figures the top speed was 110km/h or 68mph. The main body style for the 508c was a four-door pillarless saloon which was imported to the UK, the rest of Europe had a choice of a long wheelbase, four-door, six window saloon or a four-door convertible saloon, a four-door Torpedo, a two-door cabriolet, a two-door spider and a two-door Berlinetta.This Fiat 508c New Balilla Spider is a replica of a car built by Jack Tuson for Brooklands and the late 1930s Tourist Trophy races. Fiat England only imported the saloon version of the New Balilla, whereas a large numbers of the two-seat sports car version were produced in Italy. Tuson persuaded Fiat England to import a bare chassis on which he built his car. Other new features included an aluminium cylinder head and independent front suspension. It was in this car that he had a number of successes at Brooklands in 1938.The current owner rescued two derelict cars in the early 1970s. The bodies were rotten, so all the mechanical units, engines, gearboxes, axles and suspension were removed and kept. One chassis was too badly corroded but the other with registration JK 7465 was more than usable and was the basis of the recreation of the Tuson Brooklands car. Based on a set of notes written by Tuson which explained how to build his two-seat race car, they also showed that the vendor had all the material to build the replica. The engine has a number of modifications to improve performance, a late type crankshaft and con-rods were installed together with a three branch exhaust of Tuson design, a special camshaft with inlet and exhaust valve timings overlap of 40 degrees was also installed. This New Balilla, finished in black with red interior has VSCC eligibility and has competed in handicap and ODM races for nearly 20 years starting in 2000 with some success, particularly in the 1100cc class.It is supplied with a V5 registration and a file containing drawings and photographs of the restoration, magazine articles and a large number of invoices.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2000 Audi Mk. I TT Quattro Convertible 225PS (221bhp) Transmission: manualMileage:27027The Audi TT takes its name from the historical successes of NSU competing at the British Isle of Man TT. The exterior design was both bold and highly distinctive with many design awards won along the way. Early Mk. I TT's are becoming increasingly difficult to find with low mileage and low ownership and there is a flourishing club support network throughout UK and Europe catering for the surging enthusiasm for this iconic model.This privately entered TT Roadster is fitted with the desirable 'APX' 1.8 litre, turbocharged petrol engine and Quattro all-wheel drive, mated to Audi's six-speed manual DQB gearbox. Supplied new by Scotts Audi, Berkeley Square to Ms. Soyas-Ridley. She is recorded as both the first and the second registered keeper, with just her address changing in 2002. After twenty years of being registered within the first keeper’s family, ownership passed, in 2020, to the current owner by which time it had covered just 23,800 miles. Timing-belt, tensioners and water pump have all been recently replaced, plus a new clutch earlier this year. We're told that the car provides first class motoring with responsive performance and seamless transmission. Beautifully finished in a Desert Green pearl effect with black roof and complimented inside by fabulous and very rare 'Steppe Green' fine Nappa leather and carpets. Bose speakers add to the sense of top-quality appointments in the pristine cabin. Entirely unmodified, the TT retains all tools, books and owner’s wallet (nine x stamped entries in service booklet). A very rewarding future classic investment.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2004 Lamborghini Gallardo Transmission: manualMileage:49400The Gallardo was manufactured from 2003 to 2013 and is their best-selling model with 14,022 being built throughout its lifetime. The first generation Gallardo came with a 4961cc, V10 engine and offered two choices of transmission, a conventional six speed manual transmission and an advanced six-speed, electro hydraulically controlled, semi-automatic, which Lamborghini abbreviates to 'E-Gear'. Over the years however, it is the manual gearbox cars that have become far more collectible amongst the purists.Originally from H R Owen, this striking example presents with the all-important gated six-speed gearbox, black exterior and a sumptuous black leather interior and, as such, is just one of 500 made worldwide. All original books are supplied with the car which also comes with a ‘Tracker’ and service history showing a recent interim service at 49,097 miles, six main agent stamps, two specialist stamps and an upgrade by Lamborghini Manchester. The history file also includes various invoices, two sets of keys and a CD autochanger. Benefitting from an MoT test certificate valid for 10 months, this manual Gallardo is extremely competitively priced and encompasses the pedigree and styling to ensure intrinsic value for years to come.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III Coupé Transmission: automaticMileage:64659The Jaguar E-Type was ageing and needed new life. History repeated itself by achieving huge success when Jaguar debuted its robust new engine in a sportscar instead of the saloon for which it was designed. Despite its sportscar heritage, Jaguar depended on saloon vehicles for its survival and had developed its twelve-cylinder engine to power them with sufficient torque and refinement. Larger and softer in nature with weight redistributed 53/47, the Series III had lost the wilds of its youth but gained the long-legged touring profile to which it was arguably better suited. Robert Bell in Motor was quoted as saying at the time that ‘all we expected to try was a new engine but what in fact we drove was a new car. Not a yowling, aggressive Ferrari-like machine with which, perhaps, most people associate a V12 engine but a very smooth, quiet and refined grand touring sports car.’Supplied by University Motors Ltd. in Kingston-Upon-Thames and first registered on 22nd June 1973, this Jaguar presents in silver with blue interior and is fitted with an automatic gearbox. This is a one owner vehicle which has been cherished by the vendor and is offered to market for the first time in 48 years. The name on the original Jaguar ‘Passport to Service’ is the same as on the V5C registration document - something very rarely seen. The bodywork was restored some 12 years ago with the car being resprayed in its original colour of silver, the interior is original and has a delightful patina, a full-length sunroof has also been fitted. The V12 engine runs well and we are advised by the fastidious vendor that she drives well with no known faults. Originally used as his daily driver, the vendor has been using this E-Type less and less in recent times, with the car covering fewer than 500 miles in the last 15 years, hence the decision has been made to part with it. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a good collection of invoices, this is a very genuine Jaguar, she is not in concours condition but is a very good example. A piece of British motoring history in more ways than one.      Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1966 Aston Martin DB5 Transmission: manualMileage:6767From a deceased estateManual transmissionComprehensive history fileMatching numbers exampleTo the casual observer, the 1963 DB5 is virtually indistinguishable from a late model DB4 Vantage; the DB5 is essentially a four-litre version of the DB4. Initially fitted with the four-speed David Brown gearbox, the vast majority of cars received the superior five-speed gearbox either as an option or later as standard fitting. So why is the DB5 so often thought of as the quintessential Aston Martin? Without doubt, this is due to a Silver Birch example featuring in the 1964 James Bond film, Goldfinger, complete with modifications and hidden weaponry. With 007 behind the wheel of the sensational sports GT, demand outstripped supply - the factory just couldn't capitalise fast enough on the marketing success of the DB5. Even today, DB5's are highly regarded and change hands for sums significantly greater than almost anything else in the rangeThis late example DB5 was supplied new by the franchised dealer H W M of Walton-on-Thames and presents well in Autumn Gold with an Oxblood leather interior that was fitted in place of the original beige trim during a comprehensive restoration that took place during the 1980’s. The work was undertaken by coachbuilders, Medcalf and Co. during the tenure of the cars third owner, Mr. Steel of Surrey. We are informed that the odometer was zeroed during the restoration process and now reads 6,767 miles. In October 1995, the DB5 passed into the current family ownership having been purchased from Mr. Steel. The history file for this delightful Aston Martin contains older invoices including a number from RS Williams dating from 1968 through to 1972, a selection of previous MoT test certificates, an old style continuation logbook, various correspondence from current and past owners, AMOC literature, magazines and press cuttings. The six-cylinder engine started immediately when requested and ran well with no adverse noises and the manual gearbox offered a smooth gearchange.JNJ 5D is being sold on behalf of the estate of its late, enthusiast owner who used the car sparingly during his tenure and attended various owners club meetings. Without doubt one of the prettiest and most iconic cars ever manufactured, a DB5 always causes interest when coming to the market and we expect this car to continue the trend. The association of the Aston Martin marque with James Bond started with the DB5 and the model has retained superiority in the market place ever since. Given the realistic estimate, if you have ever aspired to own a DB5, this really is a gift of an opportunity.Please note we understand the previous owner - Mr Reg Steel – confirmed that Aston Martin Works Service department at Newport Pagnell undertook the engine rebuild in the 1980s. Invoices for this work are not found in the history file as Mr Steel's company, Acsim Limited, were invoiced for the works. Acsim Limited were liquidated in 1995 thus records are unattainable. The history file does contain a letter from David Eales of Oselli Limited (dated October 1995) recalling that the engine was rebuilt for Mr Steel by Aston Martin Works Service, during the time he was employed by the factory. We are lead to believe Mr Steel also feels a factory replacement block was supplied during the rebuild, and stamped accordingly.Please note that the speedometer on this car has recently stopped working.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1938 Bentley 4¼ Four-Door Cabriolet Coachwork by Carrosserie Worblaufen Transmission: manualMileage:65583Launched in 1933, the first of what would become known as the 'Derby' Bentleys continued the marque's sporting associations, but in a manner even more refined than before. Even W O Bentley himself acknowledged that the new 3½ litre model - popularly known as the 'Silent Sports Car' - was the marque's finest ever, commenting: taking all things into consideration, I would rather own this Bentley car than any car produced under that name. By the end of the 1930s the 'Derby' Bentley had undergone a number of significant developments, not the least of which was an increase in bore size in 1936 that upped the capacity to 4,257cc, a move that coincided with the adoption of superior Hall's Metal bearings. This new engine was shared with the equivalent Rolls-Royce and enjoyed a superior specification in Bentley form, boasting twin SU carburettors, a raised compression ratio, and a more 'sporting' camshaft. Thus the new 4¼ litre model offered more power than before while retaining the well-proven chassis with its faultless gear-change and servo-assisted brakes.Essentially an owner-driver sports car, the 3½ litre and later 4¼ litre Bentleys found favour with such motoring celebrities as Briggs Cunningham, N S Embiricos, Eddie Hall, Woolf Barnato, and Land Speed Record specialist Sir Malcolm Campbell. In Rolls-Royce and Bentley tradition, customers chose their own bespoke coachbuilders. The likes of Park Ward, Vanden Plas, Gurney Nutting, Barker, and Freestone & Webb were firm favourites in the UK, while European coachbuilders responsible for some memorable designs on the 'Derby' chassis included Van Vooren, Kellner, and Figoni at Falaschi. Unique among 'Derby' Bentleys is this four-door cabriolet by Carrosserie Worblaufen; this being the only pre-war Bentley to carry the Swiss coachbuilder's distinctly Teutonic-style coachwork. Carrosserie Worblaufen had been established in 1929 by Fritz Ramseier, formerly employed by Gangloff of Geneva, and his brothers Hans and Ernst. From humble beginnings Worblaufen swiftly moved upmarket, benefiting from a strong demand for its drophead coupés on quality chassis from the likes of Isotta-Fraschini, Alfa Romeo, Delage, Talbot-Lago, and Mercedes-Benz.This stunning example was despatched to Switzerland via Dover and Dunkirk aboard the SS Shepperton. Bentley Motors' guarantee was issued on 15th September 1938 when the car was delivered via agents S. A. Perrot Duval & Cie of Geneva to its first owner, Professor Dr Hans Wildbolz, a prominent physician.Presented with four-door convertible coachwork, a stunning configuration rarely seen on the 4¼ litre chassis. It is finished in silver-grey while the interior is trimmed in deep red pigskin with chrome framed windows and taut cabriolet hood which when raised gives a sleek coupé appearance, provides ideal snug accommodation while still retaining a stunning appearance, and when lowered provides comfortable motoring in warmer climes. This car also features a most practical wind-up rear screen affording weather protection for the rear passengers while the functional luggage boot contains two fitted silk-lined suitcases. The correct dashboard instrumentation is metrically calibrated, and a coachwork feature is the ingenious door hinging where opening the back door automatically closes the front door and vice versa - something that impresses even the most avid car collector.In 1975, B125LE was first registered with the Bentley Drivers' Club in USA in the ownership of C F Brown of Ohio. In 1985 the Bentley passed to E H Adolph of Connecticut, who then owned the car until 2003 when it passed to well-known West Coast collector, Barrie Hon. In 2004 the car was shipped to Europe and exhibited by invitation on the Concours d'Élégance lawns at Ville d'Este in Italy and was also exhibited that same year at the prestigious Concours d'Élégance at Pebble Beach. In 2007 further restoration was carried out by Chris Kidd's Tired Iron Works of Monrovia, California. Fresh from restoration, the car appeared again at the 2007 Pebble Beach Concours d'Élégance, finishing third in class against formidable competition in one of the world’s most notable Concours events.Upon inspection the car is in excellent condition throughout, supremely elegant Swiss coachwork twinned with the best of British engineering which was fully restored with the intent to present and rub shoulders with the very best. Privately owned by our vendor since 2012 with concourse invites both sides of the Atlantic, B125LE is ready again to participate in the more demanding long-distance motor tour or grace the lawns at Pebble Beach or Ville d'Este. The car is currently UK registered and is offered with a most comprehensive history file containing restoration invoices and copies of the Factory Order and Build Sheets and a (copy) FIVA Identity Card dated July 2004. Viewing is certainly advised for a truly unique offering.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Resto-mod Transmission: automaticMileage:350Immaculate re-imagined Porsche CarreraRestored over many thousands of hoursCompletely bespoke with just one example madeThe early days of this exquisite example are slightly academic. It went from Germany to Japan (import documents enclosed) and then back to the UK. The real story begins in 2011 when it arrived with the vendor. The Porsche marque was the designer’s personal passion and with an award-winning restoration team around him they wanted to prove a point with this, the very pinnacle of the restorer’s art, the very best the car can be.There are elements here that if you had your own way, you still wouldn't imagine or consider. Originally built in March 1986, this is an original lefthand drive, ROW (rest of world), G-Series body, which was launched in ‘73 just before the 930 Turbo and developed to conform to the latest US crash test regulations. A taut body with no sunroof and the classic 3.2 litre Carrera engine planted at the rear end. It was to undergo a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration over 10 years to bespoke specification until it was finally registered on 1st June 2019 after approximately 500km and a 12-month snagging and evaluation process.Once completely stripped, the bare shell was dipped, hand-rolled steel wide arches fitted, to RSR specification. The rust-free body was strengthened and diligently prepared. The shell was finished using an 8-step paint process and painted in Porsche GT3 Grau schwarz, a nod to its younger sibling. A centre fill fuel tank in the forward luggage compartment together with a handmade, themed cap was installed. A ducktail/964 electric spoiler controlled from the cabin was fitted. The door handles mirrored the theme on the fuel tank cap and that same theme is subtly repeated throughout the car. With the addition of a one-off composite front bumper and splitter, an RSR-style rear bumper and to the rear, a fully rebuilt 3.2 litre engine running 964 cams with 46IDA (triple carb) PMO (USA) carburettors with K&N filters and hats. Turn the key and the MSD ignition and BK racing distributor fire. The cylinders are fully rebuilt and relined with machine work carried out by Redtek, assembly by Wrightune and tested on the BS Motorsport dynamometer. The headers are straight through units with all oil lines braided with a front fender cooling fan. It has a 915 gearbox (5-speed), fully rebuilt running a Wevo (USA) shifter and linkage and pushing out 231hp or 223.4 ft-lb torque. The engine was designed with a flat torque curve, unlike the original with its heavy inertia. This iteration reaches 209ft-lb at 3200rpm, versus the original which needed to climb to 4800rpm to reach the same, 209 ft-lb. These modifications result in a much freer and more responsive engine, when you put your foot down it goes! The vehicle retains that charming characteristic Porsche air cooled sound, complemented by a M&K (USA) GT3-style muffler with minimal baffle and a block-off butterfly valve controlled from the cabin to muffle sound in RH tip should you require.The engine bay itself is smoothed and lacquered with all fixings removed or hidden, including the wiring harness and coil. The engine and gearbox all use Clubsport rubber compounds for mountings and bushes, much care and testing were undertaken to find the perfect blend of bushings and mountings throughout the car. The front discs are converted to Rebel Racing products (USA) and enlarged to 28mm x 318mm at the front with 996 calipers and braided lines with the rear running 996 calipers and discs. Naturally, Zuffenhaus (USA) three-piece 17” Fuchs wheels can be found in each corner with 9” and 11” frosted finish, anodised rims and Toyo Proxes R1R tyres.The suspension takes the form of Bilstein HD Sport dampers and inserts with one-off machined and leathered front strut brace with themed fixed mounts. Through-body Elephant Racing (USA) hollow front and rear adjustable sway bars are fitted and anodized to match the colour theme. The torsion bars are 21mm at the front and 27mm to the rear with geometry set up for fast-road use by Northway Porsche. The headlamps are HID units with a high output alternator. Air conditioning is all electric and mounted in the luggage compartment with a modern fuse box with blade fuses. Heating is via an electric heater hidden in the luggage bay and piped into the cabin.The interior, also, is a thing of beauty. As exquisite as a pair of Edward Green shoes or a Patek Philippe watch; the design spec was to create a cockpit like a luxury apartment, simply a nice place to sit and enjoy. The seats are lollipop style, one-off houndstooth check colour and size of design, a bespoke material created for the builder by Achtung Kraft (USA). The centre console is also bespoke with twin stitch and a themed compartment with a re-modelled, more simple, dashboard sporting all new clocks; colour coded and calibrated. The doors and panels carry bespoke quarter cards with an alcantara glovebox, handles and headliner and complete with remote central locking.The footwells are not forgotten, snug with handmade wool carpet and mats piped in leather and one-off houndstooth check. The rear seats have been converted and boxed to house JL sub-speaker and MSD (USA) sparkbox. The steering wheel is a classic model as used on many iconic 1960s and 1970s cars with a double-wrapped, thick leather rim.There is also a Bluetooth stereo in a hidden compartment with the electric heater and the a/c controls. The JL amplifier is a three-channel unit with sub-woofers and themed removable covers. This all beautifully put together as the images demonstrate and as shown in the accompanying hard backed build book; a history documenting the car from arrival right through to the finished result including the shell in bare metal so detail can be examined. For the weekend away, there is even a matching leather bag in the same interior houndstooth style and, of course, the subtle theme.Like a Porsche, but better.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5 16V Cosworth Transmission: automaticMileage:112500In 1983, Mercedes-Benz introduced the Cosworth 2.3 16V into their range and the new cars were substantially different from the other 190 models. The body kit reduced the drag coefficient and the steering wheel was smaller than that on other 190s, whilst the fuel tank was enlarged to 70 litres. The Getrag five-speed, manual gearbox was unique to the 16 valve and featured a 'dog-leg' first gear. An enlarged 2.5 litre engine replaced the 2.3 in 1988 and offered double-row timing chains to fix the unreliable single chains on the early 2.3s. The power output was up by 17bhp with a slight increase in torque. It is debated whether the 2.5 engine was developed and built by Mercedes-Benz or by Cosworth … interestingly, they were not keen to broadcast the fact that their most sporting saloon car had an engine developed by a British company. The suspension on the 16 valve models is very different from the standard 190 and as well as being lower and stiffer, it has larger anti-roll bars, harder bushes and hydraulic self-levelling suspension on the rear allowing the rear ride-height to remain constant even when the car is fully loaded.This lovely example of this highly sought after model is especially rare being right hand drive and is presented in black metallic with black leather interior. It comes with an electric sunroof, electric windows, electric front seats and cruise control. The present vendor replaced all the door panels and the bonnet as well as replacing the spoiler with a new one and then had the car resprayed in 2018. The car looks superb! The history file contains various invoices from past work including the latest expenditure of £1622 with Steve Redfearn Mercedes-Benz Specialist in Wimbledon. This car has been very well looked after and it is refreshing to see such an example in such wonderful condition throughout.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS 63 AMG Transmission: automaticMileage:5698The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a two-seater luxury supercar developed by Mercedes-AMG to replace the SLR McLaren and is the first Mercedes-Benz designed in-house by AMG. Described as the spiritual successor to the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing, clearly the design inspiration also drew on the spectacular 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé from 1955. Unveiled in 2009 with sales starting in mid 2010 for European customers, the SLS gained instant fame with its use as the safety car in the 2010 Formula One season and being the cover car for the widely acclaimed Gran Turismo 5 PlayStation 3 computer game.The engine is a dry sump 6.3 litre AMG V8 with quad camshafts, four valves per cylinder, forged pistons, forged and balanced crankshaft and Bosch fuel injection which produces a colossal 563bhp at 6800rpm. This equates to seriously impressive performance figures with 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds and an electronically limited terminal velocity of 197mph (317 km/h). Well respected American motoring magazine, Car and Driver tested the SLS on the drag strip and recorded a quarter mile time of 11.7 seconds at 125mph (201 km/h).Registered in September 2010, this right hand drive Mercedes-Benz SLS is a particularly handsome coupé car with its Gullwing doors reminiscent of the 1950s 300 SL. Finished in metallic silver with a red leather interior, this SLS sounds as good as it looks and has covered only 5,698 miles. The 6208cc engine roared into life when requested and it is blatantly apparent there is an extraordinary amount of horsepower available to your right foot. This Mercedes-Benz is in excellent order and benefits from a full service history. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until October 2022, this is a superb piece of design and engineering from the German manufacturer with the potential to be a sound future investment.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2013 Piaggio Vespa 946 Transmission: paddleMileage:380The 2013 Vespa 946 is a small scooter that was especially developed to help you move with agility around the city. As far as style is concerned, the Vespa 946 draws inspiration from the first Vespa prototype of 1946, featuring a retro design combined with a few contemporary lines. The scooter’s distinctive element is its body which is technically a single steel and aluminium component which also has a supporting function. Thanks to its modern body and the intensive use of aluminium, the scooter has a very low curb weight which combined with an upgraded 125cc, 3-valve, 4-stroke, air cooled engine offers an impressive fuel consumption rated at 155 mpg.This superb example is presented in ‘as new condition’ showing a mere 380 miles from new on the odometer. It is painted in black with a grey seat enabling a pillion rider and comes with manuals in a presentation box, two sets of keys and is ready to go! Stylish and a rare collectable model, this Vespa has only had one previous owner. Superb!Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1983 Porsche 911 SC Cabriolet (3.0 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:8896The Porsche 911 is a luxury two-door sports coupé with a distinctive design, rear engine and independent rear suspension; an evolution of the swing axle on the Porsche 356. It has undergone continuous development although the basic concept has remained little changed. Throughout its lifetime, the 911 has been modified by private teams and by the factory itself for racing, rallying and other forms of automotive competition and is among the most successful competition cars ever. In the mid-1970s, normally aspirated 911 Carrera RSRs won major world championship sports car races such as Targa Florio, Daytona, Sebring and Nürburgring, even against prototypes. The 911-derived 935 Turbo also won the coveted 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1979. In the 1999 international poll for the award of Car of the Century, the 911 came fifth. It is one of two in the top five that had remained continuously in production (the original Beetle remained in production until 2003) and was until 1998, the most successful surviving application of the air cooled, horizontally opposed rear-engine layout.This superb right hand drive 1983 Porsche 911 SC Cabriolet was supplied new to the Sultan of Brunei in Malaysia and is believed to have only covered 8,896 miles from new. It is thought the Sultan gave this Porsche to one of his staff and while in Malaysia the colour was changed to red. Imported to the UK in 2019, the new owner set about returning the car to its original specification, this included removing all the panels and repainting the car back to its original colour of white, refreshing the black leather interior, refurbishing the wheels and fitting new tyres. For the mechanics, it was sent to Caversham Porsche where it was serviced, new oil cooler pipes fitted, new exhaust system and the air conditioning serviced. The service book is stamped with its first service in Malaysia and the recent service here in the UK. This Porsche is supplied with a V5 registration document, the original service book and the invoices for the work carried out in the UK. Recently the rear seats have been retrimmed, new seat belts and a new battery fitted. The engine has been professionally tuned and the 2994cc engine sounds great when on song with performance to match. This rare and well sorted cabriolet is ready to be used and enjoyed immediately, it would be difficult to find one with lower mileage and in such stunning condition.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1980 Ford Escort Mk. II Rally Spec (1.7 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:35854The squarer-styled Escort Mk. II appeared in January 1975 with the first production models having rolled off the production lines on 2nd December 1974. Unlike the first Escort (which was developed by Ford of Britain), the second generation was developed jointly between the UK and Ford of Germany. Codenamed ‘Brenda’ during its development, it had the same mechanical configuration as its predecessor; the estate and van versions even used the same panel-work as the Mk. I but with the Mk. II front end and interior. The car used a revised underbody which had, in fact, been introduced as a running change during the last six months of the life of the Mk. I. The car was a success with just four body styles competing in a variation of market niches where rival manufacturers had multiple models. The ‘L’ and ‘GL’ models were mainly purchased by the private sector; the ‘Sport’, ‘RS Mexico’ and ‘RS2000’ in the performance market; the ‘Ghia’ for an untapped small car luxury sector and ‘base’ models for the fleet market. The Escort continued to prove hugely popular with buyers in Britain during the second half of the 1970s, but production slowed and after an incredibly popular model run, ended in Britain in August 1980 with other countries following soon after.Originally registered on 23rd May 1980, this Escort has a particularly poignant story to it. The car was purchased by Scott Stacey in 2010 in its standard guise of 1300 and in need of total restoration. Scott decided to turn the car into a full-on rally replica. After suffering from Crohns disease from a very early age, things took an unfortunate turn for the worse in 2016. In 2017 he closed his business due to failing health and proposed to his girlfriend in the December. Following surgery in 2018 Scott was feeling well and planned to finish the car and use it for his wedding. However, there was too much work to do and the car did not make the wedding day in July 2019. Unfortunately, early in 2020 Scott’s health once again seriously deteriorated and he was given just a few months to live. Without telling him, his friends set up a GoFundMe page and embarked upon a Car SOS style mission. They managed to take the car without his knowledge and finished the project. The bodywork needed not much more than a good machine polish. Fuel problems and a host of electrical issues were addressed, and the drivetrain refreshed accordingly. The result of this heart-warming act of kindness Scott and his wife were able to enjoy during his final few months. Presenting now in stunning condition, this Escort Mk. II is fitted with a 1700 Kent engine, performance camshaft and 40 DCOE carburettors. The gearbox is a Type E and is fitted with ‘Rocket’ ratio gears, the rear axle is a Quaife limited-slip-diff unit. The suspension is via GAZ shock absorbers all-round and stopping power is by four-pot calipers and vented front discs, the rear brakes have also been converted to discs. The result of all this hard work and commitment is a car that not only looks great but has performance to match and it is a true credit to everyone involved.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1929 Ford Tudor Hot Rod Transmission: manualMileage:28191This stunning bespoke Hot Rod was imported from Texas in bare metal by the late Graham Jones and originally completed by Home Grown Hotrods in Southend. Jon of Home Grown Hotrods recalls, Mr Jones a former Minardi, BAR & Tyrrell Formula 1 press officer would often source rare parts and bring them back with him from trips to various tracks. The Tudor Saloon body of the 1929 Ford is as new, and due to this benefits from rear seats enabling this fire breathing hot rod to transit four passengers. Fitted with a new Chevrolet small block engine, stainless steel exhaust and new brake lines while painted in Rover Green with black before fitting with Halibrand wheels.The car passed to Mr Monkley in 2015 and has since been kept in stunning condition it has had some remedial work to ensure it is in top condition for a continental trip to Switzerland and back, this included a replacement front crossmember, upgraded brakes, shock absorbers and suspension setup to assist in a long distance drive. The trip to the Alps was successful and this car often seen at American and Hot Rod shows described as totally reliable and easy to drive with an automatic gearbox that changes smoothly with its close ratios whilst the torque from the V8 is ideal for both cruising or street racing. Offered with a V5 registration document and boasting a useful trunk to the rear for luggage. A stunning one-off example for which viewing is highly recommended.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1967 Jaguar E-Type Series I Coupé (4.2 Litre) Transmission: manualMileage:64666Introduced in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type caused a sensation when it appeared with its instantly classic lines and 150mph top speed. While, inevitably, the car's stupendous straight-line performance and gorgeous looks grabbed the headlines, there was a lot more to the E-Type beneath the skin. The newcomer's design owed much to that of the racing D-Type and, indeed, the E-Type would be one of the last great sports cars developed directly from a successful competition ancestor. Just as in the D-Type, a monocoque tub formed the main body/chassis structure while a tubular space frame extended forwards to support the engine. The latter was the same 3.8 litre, triple-carburettor, 'S' unit first offered as an option on the preceding XK150. With a claimed 265 horsepower on tap, the E-Type's performance did not disappoint. Mainly because it weighed around 500lb less than the XK150 but also, because aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer used experience gained with the D-Type to create one of the most elegant and efficient shapes ever to grace a motor car.Delivered new in 1967, this wonderful matching numbers example is finished in the very elegant colour combination of metallic blue over a dark blue leather interior and is presented in superb order throughout. Converted to right hand drive from its original left hand drive guise, this E-Type is one of the best we have ever seen. Professionally restored by marque specialists, the car has undergone a full bare metal respray as well as a complete interior retrim and consequently presents fabulously. During the restoration, this Jaguar was treated to an engine, gearbox, and rear differential rebuild and as such is in very good order throughout, the original matching numbers engine is included in the sale although it’s not currently fitted to the car. The brake and clutch master cylinders were rebuilt, and a new wiring loom, ancillaries and carburettors were also fitted. This very well-presented example comes complete with a history file detailing the restoration, many sundry invoices, and the current UK V5 registration document. Huge amounts of money have been spent bringing this E-Type to its current condition and it’s certainly one of the best we have seen. The perfect candidate for those long-distance continental tours or that summer trip to the south of France. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 Ford Escort Mk. I 1300GT Transmission: manualMileage:15823The Ford Escort was introduced in the United Kingdom at the end of 1967, making its show debut at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1968. The Escort was a commercial success in many parts of Western Europe, but nowhere more than in the UK, where it was consistently the national best seller. In June 1974, less than six years after the car's UK introduction, Ford announced the completion of the two millionth Ford Escort, a milestone unmatched by any Ford model outside the USA. The Mk. I featured contemporary styling cues in tune with its time; a subtle Detroit-inspired ‘Coke bottle’ waistline and the ‘dogbone’ shaped front grille - arguably the car's most famous stylistic feature.Originally registered on 7th January 1972 this genuine Escort 1300 GT is arguably one of Dagenhams’ finest designs and greatest success story. This example was restored several years ago and was featured in the Classic Ford magazine in November 2010. Clearly this has been a very well maintained and much-loved example, the history folder is certainly impressive. The original Ford service book and owner’s handbook are present and there are a significant number of invoices in the history folder. The yellow paintwork is generally good although there are a couple of areas that may require attention in the future and the black interior is in good order. The easy to read and uncluttered instrument binnacle is a feature of a 1300GT. During our inspection it was a case of pull the choke out, turn the key and the Kent engine burst into life, she ran with good oil pressure. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 25th August 2022, this is fine example of a model that is rarely seen these days.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1963 Ford Consul Capri Project Transmission: manualMileage:The Ford Consul Capri was launched in 1961 and was the first European market Ford to bear the Capri name. The Ford Consul Capri is a two-door coupé version of the Classic Consul and was available from 1961 until 1964. In February 1963, the GT version was announced. The new GT engine, developed by Cosworth, featured a raised compression ratio 9:1, a modified head with larger exhaust valves, an aluminium inlet manifold, a four-branch exhaust and most noticeably a twin choke Weber carburettor, this being the first use of this make on a British production car, the rarest of all the British Fords with only 39 GT's registered. Overall, the car was very expensive to produce and in the latter part of its production was running alongside the very popular Ford Cortina. Only 2,002 GT models were built and just 1,007 cars were sold in 1964, the last year of production, 412 of them being GT's.Presented in blue coachwork with a newly trimmed cream interior and blue piping, this car was first registered 26th July 1963. This Consul capri is an unfinished project and forms part of the estate of Alan Monkley. Offered with a V5C registration document showing three former keepers, this example is the perfect winter project for a Ford Capri enthusiast and offered to auction without reserve.
