Registration No: 274 XUA Chassis No: BE102964DLB MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership since 2016Subject to a self-evident previous restorationEntered from a private collection of classic cars and tractorsUsed regularly for tours and shows during the current ownershipThe Standard 8 was introduced in 1953 at £481. The cheapest four-door saloon on the market, yet it boasted independent front suspension, hydraulic brakes and an economical O.H.V engine. At the same time in another part of the same building Standard were producing a very different engine, the Rolls Royce Avon jet aero engine of which 415 were made between 1951 and 1955. In 1954 the Eight was supplemented by the slightly more powerful Standard Ten which featured a wider chrome grille and was dubbed as “Britain’s outstanding small car, based on the fact that the Standard Eight and Ten have OHV engine and four-speed gearbox in contrast to Ford’s predilection for side-valves and three speeds, and their possession of happier gear ratios, and more urge than the Austin A30 or Morris Minor’’ (Motorsport Magazine). The Ten was supplemented in 1957 by an up-market version called the Pennant, with the Ten and the Pennant finally replaced by the Triumph Herald in 1961.Chassis BE102964DLB was manufactured in 1958 and is understood to have been supplied new to London, being first registered on the 5th of December that year. Finished in Green paintwork with complimentary Dark Green and White interior trim. In current ownership since 2016, the Ten has since been resident of a private collection of classic cars and tractors. The Ten has self-evidently been subject to a previous restoration and ‘274 XUA’ still presents well today, the Standard reputedly spent many years in a museum in Scotland and afterward was in the possession of the previous owner from 2005. Regularly used in the vendor’s custodianship covering around 1,000 miles per year, the Ten has been enjoyed on Standard Car Club tours and for summer shows. Provided with a full stainless steel exhaust system in current ownership, ‘274 XUA’ started readily and ran well during our photography session. Supplied with a history file that contains a few previous MOTs, a handbook, and a current V5C document. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: F640 DNG Chassis No: SCC082910KHD65159 MOT: November 2024Just 37,000 recorded miles1 of just 1,562 Lotus Esprit Turbo (X180) cars understood to have been made from 1987-1991Benefitting from some £11,000 worth of improvements since 2021In current ownership since 2017Desirable and collectible modern LotusThe Esprit metamorphosed through several series over the next two decades before the model's ultimate expression - the V8 - arrived in 1996. Lotus had first employed turbocharged induction in 1980 on the Essex Turbo Esprit, a limited edition model featuring the Blue/Red/Chrome livery of the Essex Overseas Petroleum Corporation, sponsor of Team Lotus from 1979 to 1981. The Essex paved the way for the series production Turbo Esprit, the arrival of which in April 1981 coincided with that of the S3 models. Despite having a wet sump, the Turbo's 2.2-litre Garrett-blown engine produced the same power (210bhp) as the Essex's dry-sump unit. The Turbo Esprit retained the aerodynamic body kit of the Essex cars and featured prominent 'Turbo Esprit' decals on the nose and sides. The Turbo's top speed was 148mph, with 60mph attainable in 6.1 seconds. In 1987, the Esprit was comprehensively restyled by Peter Stevens, who produced a less angular, more rounded and much more modern look. The turbocharged car's name was changed to 'Esprit Turbo', while the major mechanical updates were a Renault GTA gearbox and outboard rear brakes.Manufactured new in 1989, chassis number 65159 is one of just 1,562 Lotus Esprit Turbo (X180) supplied and was sold new to the home market, being first registered as ‘F640 DNG’ on the 25th of May that year. Finished in Calypso Red with Cream leather interior upholstery, the Lotus is understood to have only resided in the United Kingdom for around 12 months, the Esprit Turbo was exported to the car-friendly climate of Japan thereafter. Residing in Japan for the subsequent twenty-seven years, the Esprit was acquired by the vendor in 2017 and was subsequently repatriated. Retained by the vendor ever since, the Lotus has been substantially improved during this period, receiving over £11,000 worth of enhancement, which included bodywork repairs and repainting, servicing with new spark plugs, new emissions and turbocharger control pipes, retrimmed boot compartment, a brake refresh, and alloy wheel refurbishment. Offered with just 37,000 miles on the odometer, this is a low mileage desirable and collectible Lotus modern classic!

In 1978, the commercial vehicles were renamed to 'Mini 95', reflecting the 0.95 ton gross weight of the van and pick-up. In 1979, an 'L' pack was introduced, which included front carpets, houndstooth cloth centre sections to the seats, additional sound-proofing and a passenger sun visor.This 1980 Austin Morris 95L van reached the end of four-year extensive ‘regardless of cost’ restoration in c.2018, with the bodywork restored and repainted along with an overhaul of the mechanicals. We are told the bodyshell was dipped, any rust removed and new panels fabricated. Brightwork was replaced along with glass, rubbers and seals. Not stopping at that, an all new interior and headlining was fitted and bespoke, stained and varnished wooden trim benefitting the load space area.The mechanical areas received a new rear subframe and auxiliaries, a reconditioned front subframe and, as upgrades, electronic ignition and a 10" disc brakes fitted to the front. Importantly, the engine was refurbished with the cylinder head being overhauled with new valves, gaskets and seats etc.Presented in Ermine White the general condition is still excellent inside and outside, the underneath has been treated to Lanoguard. In 2022, the van was the subject of a full lubrication and service, that included a re-jet of the SU carburettors. The van was given new rear tyres in January 2024.

Registration No: DBP 238G Chassis No: 1R7043 MOT: ExemptRepatriated to the UK in 1989 and subsequently converted to RHDSubject to an extensive restoration in the late 1990sFitted with triple SU carburretors and a sports manifoldOffered with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate, collection of invoices and restoration photographsTriumphantly unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore thanks to its supercar performance, stunning looks and modest price tag. Early racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement the newcomer's reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame, the E-type's combination of all-around independent suspension and disc brakes allied to rack-and-pinion steering resulted in excellent roadholding and handling capabilities. The indomitable straight-six XK twin-cam engine supplied abundant power. If the design had an Achilles' heel then it was the recalcitrant Moss gearbox. However, Jaguar was quick to correct this shortcoming with a four-speeder of its own design just part of a continual programme of E-Type development that saw the model metamorphose through three Series. Introduced in August 1968, the Series II cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements. Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. Available in open two-seater, Fixed-Head two-seater and Fixed-Head 2+2-seater guises, the American market accounted for the vast majority of Series II production. 8,627 open two-seaters made were made.Supplied new by the Overseas Motors Corporation, Fort Worth, Texas, to John K. Harrell Jr. of Houston Texas. This Series 2 Roadster is finished in Silver wth a Black hood and hood cover. Inside, you’ll find Red trim looking splendid when complemented to a Silver car. Originally a left-hand drive market US car it now features a sports manifold and triple SUs with trumpets. Shipped to the UK around December 1989 ‘DBP 238G, was subsequently converted to a right-hand drive configuration. Its understood that in the late 1990s or early 2000s the Roadster was subjected to bodywork, paint and mechanical work, with a collection of restoration photographs on file. Fast forward to 2021 the Jaguar was the subject to £3,223 worth of work by Paul Brown Jaguar. Other work has included the fitment of electronic ignition.There is a collection of old MOT documentation dating back to 1989, the year of repatriation to the UK, and an original Jaguar Passport to Service. A Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate is also on file with a current V5C document. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: WLM 725 Chassis No: S824751DN MOT: Exempt1 of just 1,368 RHD examples manufacturedBenefiting from the factory-fitted Special Equipment (SE) pack which comprised: front fog lamps, wire wheels, and twin exhaustsOffered with a Heritage Certificate and a collection of old MOTs and invoicesExtensively restored in c.2010 including a new interior and the fitment of A/CBy the time the XK150 was launched in May 1957, Jaguar had won Le Mans four times and was about to do so once again. A logical progression of the XK140, subtle changes to the bodywork gave this final iteration of the XK a distinctly more modern air. The split windscreen was replaced with a single sweep of toughened glass and the scuttle height was raised, along with the waistline. The bonnet was widened and the walnut dashboard of the XK140 was replaced by one trimmed in leather. Thinner doors gave more interior space. The standard engine was the 3.4-litre DOHC straight six unit of the XK140, which was later increased to 3.8-litres. Still more power became available from 1958 in the form of the 'S' engine. The XK150 was the first production Jaguar to be equipped with disc brakes and was initially offered in Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) and Drophead Coupe guise, the Roadster following in 1958. By the time production ended in October 1960 to make way for the E-Type, some 4,445 FHCs had been produced, of which just 1,368 were RHD examples.Manufactured on the 13th of January 1959, this home market example was supplied new via Henlys Ltd of London to a J. W. Bradstreet of Goring-On-Sea and registered ‘WLM 725’ – a registration mark it pleasingly retains today. One of just 1,368 RHD examples built, it was specified from the factory with manual transmission with overdrive and benefits from the factory-fitted Special Equipment (SE) pack which comprised: front fog lamps, wire wheels, and twin exhausts. Residing in the car friendly climate of South Africa for some 20 years, the XK150 was provided with a comprehensive restoration there in c.2010. Finished in Black with a Red interior, the Jaguar is fitted with a MkIX 3.8 engine. The extensive restoration included a new interior and the fitment of air-conditioning.Treated to a new clutch, front calliper overhaul, master cylinder reconditioning, and new fuel lines in 2019/2020, this handsome XK150 is offered with a Jaguar Daimler Trust Heritage Certificate, South Africa motor vehicle licenses, a collection of invoices, a selection of previous MOTs dating back to the 1980s and a current V5C document. Running excellently during our photography session, the vendor informs us that the XK150 drives very well with working overdrive. The vendor does note that the windscreen wiper motor does need replacement. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: MCW 497J Chassis No: 1512201072 MOT: ExemptGenuine Karmann Beetle CabrioletExtensive restoration c.2012/1013Period accessoriesIn 1948, Wilhelm Karmann bought a standard Beetle and converted it into a four-seater convertible. After successfully presenting it at Volkswagen in Wolfsburg, Karmann began production of the Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet in 1949. After a number of stylistic and technical alterations made to it, the last of 331,847 cabriolets came off the conveyor belt on the 10th of January, 1980, bringing with it the end of an era. In 1971, alongside continued production of the standard Beetle, a variant that featured Macpherson strut front suspension and a re-designed front end was introduced which was officially known and marketed in Europe as the 'VW 1302' from 1971 (August 1970) to 1972 model years, and 'VW 1303' from 1973 onwards. The VW Beetle has seduced many a first-time buyer, collector and classic car enthusiast. And for obvious reasons; the parts network is many and inexpensive, the ability to convert the base model into many different variants was always available and the cost of the car itself presented a gateway into classic car ownership.Offered here is a 1970 VW 1302 iteration of the Karmann Beetle Cabriolet. Said to offer better handling from its McPherson strut front end, this example benefited from an extensive ‘body-off’ restoration in 2012/13. Finished in the striking VW Hellas Gold paint, the car was first registered in Germany, with the German fahrzeugbrief logbook on file. Since import to the UK, it has been converted to right-hand drive at the time of restoration.The engine is a 1600cc unit with a Weber carburettor and a Freeway Flyer gearbox. A new mohair roof was fitted in 2021. The car has disc brakes all round. Inside, the Karmann Cabriolet has benefitted from recent seat covers and carpets and a ‘Flat 4’ EMPI GT – style steering wheel, there’s an EMPI gear shifter, DAB radio with Pioneer speakers and a USB socket. The Cabriolet has been re-wired with a cut-out switch and a Powerspark electronic ignition added, a new Bosch ‘blue coil’ and new HT leads & plugs recently fitted. The car rolls on SSP Porsche 914 2-litre-style alloys with Toyo tyres.Other work has included a new clutch cable and guides, bespoke under bonnet storage, a new fuel tank & spare wheel/ tyre, a front strut brace and rear lap belts. This genuine Karmann-built Cabriolet is offered with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: PUI 3831 Chassis No: SAJJNADW3DB170271 MOT: July 2024Current ownership for c.8 yearsFitted with TWR style bumpers and rear spoilerFinished in light Blue complemented to a Cream leather interiorLaunched in 1975, Jaguar's XJS was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. More of a soporific grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, it was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads. To this end, it was equipped with automatic transmission as standard. Although, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post-1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long-awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power-assisted rack and pinion steering as its Fixed Head Coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.First registered on the 23rd May 1990, finished in light Blue complemented to a Cream leather interior with a Blue hood, this XJ-S has resided in current ownership for some 8 years. This Convertible example of the XJ-S marque is fitted with the period TWR-style bumpers and rear spoiler, evoking the motorsport heritage of the XJ-S. It is being offered with an MOT certificate into July 2024 and current V5C is present. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: D320 UTU Chassis No: SCAZN0008HCH20627 MOT: April 2025Bought by the vendor from Stratstone Rolls-Royce in 1995Just 64,500 miles from newRated as ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’ throughout by the vendorOffered with original owner's wallet, handbooks and three stamped service booksPLEASE NOTE: The registration number for this lot is ‘D320 UTU’.The Silver Spur was the moniker adopted by Rolls-Royce for the long wheelbase versions of the Silver Spirit, and belonged to a new generation of models that also included that marque's Flying Spur, Silver Dawn, Touring Limousine and Park Ward, and the Mulsanne and Eight Series models of its sister company, Bentley. Penned by Fritz Feller, the range was first represented at the 1980 Paris Salon and was a welcome replacement for the long-serving Silver Shadow and its siblings. The design was not entirely new, however, and employed the floorpan of the outgoing model as well as its proven OHV 6750cc V8 powerplant. The opulent newcomer was lower and longer than its predecessor though and, courtesy of its finely-tuned hydraulic self-levelling suspension, was said to provide the best roadholding ever offered by the marque at that time. There were a total of four iterations of the range, via which the models remained in production until 1998.Supplied new on the 25th of February 1987 by Strattons Rolls-Royce of Wilmslow, the Silver Spur was finished from the factory in Graphite Grey paintwork with a Black Everflex roof and a Pale Grey with piped Slate leather interior trim, and the Rolls-Royce notably features factory parking sensors. Passing through the hands of four keepers before being acquired by the vendor in 1996 from Stratstone Rolls-Royce in Wilmslow (with the sales invoice included in the history file), the Silver Spur had covered just 55,000 miles at the time of purchase. Having covered a mere 9,500 miles during the vendor's twenty-eight-year ownership, the Rolls-Royce has now covered only 64,500 miles from new.Possessing a strong service history from 1987 until 2007 with nineteen stamps present across three service books, all the services were completed at Rolls-Royce's main agents. Since then the Silver Spur has been serviced by the vendor every two years, with one further main dealer service completed in this period by Sytner Rolls-Royce at 64,200 miles. Residing in a heated garage and reputedly never out in poor weather during the vendor's ownership, the Spur has been used sparingly. Offered with a large history file that contains the original wallet owner's wallet, including the handbook, three stamped service books and accessories guide, as well as original sales literature, aforementioned vendor sales invoice, a large collection of previous MOT certificates, previous invoices, and a current V5C document.Rated by the vendor as having ‘excellent’ bodywork, engine, gearbox, and interior trim, the paintwork is evaluated as ‘very good to excellent’, and the electrical equipment as ‘very good’ other than noting that the radio does not work (but is believed to be fuse related) and only the driver’s window works. Starting readily and running well during our photography session, this notably nice Silver Spur has been cherished by the vendor, right down to still having the Black luxury rugs he ordered from Rolls-Royce at purchase in situ in the car. Offered with a no advisory MOT certificate until April 2025.PLEASE NOTE: The registration number shown in the images is not included in the sale.

Registration No: 549 GYP Chassis No: 860554 MOT: ExemptOriginally built as a right-hand drive Fixed Head Coupé but was re-shelled as a Roadster during an extensive overhaul in the 1990sSupplied with a history file dating back to 1973 including Green continuation logbookA home market car that has been improved with features such as a full synchromesh 4.2 E-Type gearboxOwned by the vendor since 2018 and maintained regardless of costPLEASE NOTE:This lot has a fault with the electric hood which is not functioning. The fault is believed to be with the control module but this has not been confirmed.Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Salon, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore on its debut and has become one of the most iconic designs in automotive history. With its stunning looks, outrageous performance and accessible price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. While early competition success in the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori among others helped cement its reputation on the racetrack, the list of celebrity owners ensured its cult status on the roads. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame a la D-Type, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension, rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave excellent road-holding and handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head, its 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox, the free-revving unit reputedly enabled the E-Type to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph – figures the press cars certainly managed even if the standard ones couldn’t quite! Seemingly borrowed from a light aircraft, the wonderful turned aluminium centre console that adorned its cockpit was complemented by scalloped 'Dunlopillo' seats and a wood-rim steering wheel. Achingly beautiful yet viciously quick, the sublime E-Type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar.Understood to have been manufactured in 1962, chassis 860554 was purportedly first registered in July 1964. Built as a UK Market, right-hand drive Fixed Head Coupé in Blue. Little is known of the early history of the E-Type until 1973, when it was under the custodianship of Hardings Motors Ltd of London Road, Leigh-on-Sea. The car was purpotedly sold to a local gentleman by Hardings - a Mr. J.I. Gilmore of Church Road, Shoeburyness and then through the hands of a number of owners (one as far away as Plymouth) before it was apparently laid up until the 1980s. By this point, it is understood that '549 GYP' was bought by a Gentleman who was ex-Jaguar who deemed it necessary to overhaul it. For whatever reason (either increasing values of Roadsters particularly or a very rotten FHC shell) the car was re-shelled as a Roadster during this extensive overhaul which included painting the new bodywork in Sherwood Green and trimming the interior in tan leather to full 1964 3.8 Litre E-Type specification including the vinyl covered centre console. The 3.8 Litre engine unit was also overhauled around this time and it is believed that the fully synchromesh gearbox from a 4.2 Litre car was fitted to improve the driving experience in place of the original Moss gearbox. Having been in the ownership of two other enthusiasts since this period, the owner (who owns a number of fine Jaguars) bought '549 GYP' in 2018 to 'cover for' his other E-Type whilst it was away being restored and has enjoyed a number of long trips and rallies with the car. The car has been maintained exceptionally within the vendor's ownership, who describes it as being 'ready to go anywhere' as it is in 'very good' order mechanically. The history file backs up these claims and includes a number of service receipts and invoices for shotblasting and repainting the inside of the bonnet and headlamp bowls and the fitment of a Lucas 123 distributor. Now, with a driveway and garage filling up with a number of 'Big Cats', including his original E-Type that is back home from restoration, it is time for this iconic vehicle to find a new, loving home.On our inspection, we were greeted with the pleasing sight of the Sherwood Green paintwork with Black Mohair hood, which the present owner describes as being in 'very good' order, having stood up remarkably well given that the overhaul was completed in 1995. The Tan Leather upholstery has also worn with an attractive patina which is to be expected from nearly 30 years of loving ownership. However, please note that if you are of the opinion that everything must be of concours standard, it will need some amount of work to arrive to that level. The car started remarkably quickly when we visited the car with the note of the legendary twin-cam straight six resembling a purr through a fresh looking stainless steel exhaust system.Presenting the perfect opportunity to own a 3.8 Litre Series 1 E-Type Roadster at a much lower premium than a more original car might, this Jaguar would make a fantastic drivers' car for anybody who can overlook a six-digit number stamped on a chassis plate - after all, just look at it!

Registration No: SWK 292 Chassis No: E1PV228105 MOT: ExemptSubject to a comprehensive restoration which was completed last monthPrevious long-term ownership for some forty yearsFully repainted in the original Silver Straw paintwork with a Garnet Red roofPleasingly boasting most of its original interiorPLEASE NOTE: The saleroom estimate for this lot is now £12,000 - £14,000The colour of this lot is the factory correct, Silver Straw, not as previously catalogued. In 1951 a longer, wider Vauxhall Velox was launched, designated as the EIP series, and featuring a modern 'three box' shape and integral construction. The body was again shared with the four-cylinder-engined Vauxhall Wyvern. The car was launched with the previous model's engine but with power output increased to 58bhp. A car with the original 2275cc engine tested by The Motor magazine in 1951 had a top speed of 77.4 mph and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 23.7 seconds. In April 1952 the Velox was re-designated as the EIPV series and received a new 2262cc engine which had been in development for several years. This provided either 64bhp or, with a compression ratio improved to 7.6:1, 68bhp of power. A further test in 1952 by The Motor magazine of the EIPV with the short stroke 2262cc engine, found the top speed had increased to 80.4 mph and acceleration from 0-60 mph to 21.4 seconds. The coupé utility continued on until officially withdrawn at the end of the 1957 model year. 1955 saw a significant facelift. Most obvious of the many cosmetic changes was a new front grille. More importantly was the introduction at this time of a sister model, branded as the Vauxhall Cresta.Manufactured new in 1956, this home-market Velox was registered new on the 15th of May that year. The early history of ‘SWK 292’ is unknown until the Velox was acquired by the previous owner some forty years ago. Used as a daily driver for a couple of decades, the Velox was then taken off the road and stood from 1999, until being acquired by the vendor last year as a restoration project. ‘SWK 292’ was thereafter stripped down, and the bodywork was found to be notably solid, only requiring some small areas of welding to the chassis rails and A-pillars. The engine was removed and the engine bay was stripped and painted, with bodywork receiving a full respray in the original factory hue of Silver Straw paint, allied with an attractive and complementary Garnet Red roof addition.The engine was overhauled, as well as the fitment of a renewed clutch, with the braking provided new brake shoes and bushes, as well as the suspension bushes being replaced. The fuel system was refreshed with the fuel tank removed and cleaned, and a new battery fitted. Cosmetically, the Velox then received some £1,500 worth of re-chroming, with the wheels sandblasted and powder coated, and shod with fresh whitewall tyres. Pleasingly retaining the majority of the original interior, the carpets have been refreshed. The restoration was completed last month, with the Velox featured at the NEC Practical Classics Restoration Show last month too. Offered with a current V5C document showing four former keepers. A rare sight and extremely stylish, ‘SWK 292’ is a scarce opportunity to acquire a freshly restored example of a 1950s Americana-inspired British classic.

Registration No: FRB 418L Chassis No: 5917T MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership for some twenty-two years1 of just 12 Marcos GTs with the Triumph 2500cc engineNotably improved during the vendor's ownershipExtensive chassis enhancementsMarcos was founded in 1959 by Jem Marsh and Frank Costin, and it was Costin's earlier work on the De Havilland Mosquito that led to the newcomer's first monocoque chassis being constructed from marine plywood. The later Luton-built versions benefited from less radical styling by Dennis Adams and were powered by a range of Ford engines. Nine Xylons and 13 Luton Gullwings saw the light of day, many of which were raced - light and nimble, they were very successful; especially in the hands of Jackie Stewart, Jackie Oliver and Marsh himself. Costin left the company in 1961, following which all design matters fell to Dennis Adams and his brother Peter, and it was their GT of 1964 that really put Marcos on the map. By 1969 the famous wooden chassis had been usurped by a more conventional steel one, and by 1971 Ford V6 power had been exchanged for that of the Volvo straight-six engine widely used until Marcos was forced into liquidation in 1972.Chassis 5917T was manufactured in 1972, being first registered on the road on the 21st of August that year. One of just twelve GTs fitted with the Triumph 2.5-litre straight-six engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, the Marcos is finished in Red paintwork with Black vinyl interior upholstery and has a Black sunroof. In previous ownership from 1992, the Marcos is understood to have received either a full replacement (non-Marcos) chassis or extensive chassis repairs, which appear to be of a better quality than the original. Acquired by the vendor in 2002, the Marcos was running (albeit poorly) and requiring improvement when purchased.The vendor then provided the Marcos with an engine overhaul including changing to twin SU carburettors from Strombergs and thereafter used ‘FRB 418L’ regularly for around five years. Gradually improved across the vendor's ownership, the Marcos has benefitted from bodywork improvements, paintwork throughout including the underside of the bonnet and boot, changes to enhance the usability including better headlamps and the inclusion of indicator and wiper sticks onto the steering column, a new fuel tank, and re-trimmed sunroof. Starting readily and both running and driving well during our photography session, the Marcos has been used for shows and events but has seen minimal use since the lockdown.Supplied with previous MOTs and tax discs, old photographs, and a current V5C document, the Marcos is accompanied by the original alloy wheels. Showing some 79,500 miles on the odometer, the Marcos has two former keepers recorded on the V5C document. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: FS 5757 Chassis No: J2048 MOT: ExemptSupplied new to Scottish Motor Traction Company and successfully competed from new by employee Miss Marjorie DicksonReputedly the first J2 registered in ScotlandIn current ownership since 1986 when purchased as a full restoration projectNotably nice example which has been fully restored over approximately 20 years by the vendorOffered with an excellent and interesting history file1 of just 2,083 J2s manufacturedDerived from the M-Type, the J-Type was produced from 1932 to 1934 with the majority being to J2 two-seater specification of which just 2,083 examples were built. Representing outstanding value at under £200, the Midget's 847cc, overhead-camshaft, Wolseley-derived engine was coupled to a four-speed gearbox and housed in a simple D-Type chassis frame with half-elliptic springing all round and solid front and rear axles and braking by cable-operated 8-inch drums. Its race-bred pedigree and classic sporting appearance made the J2 extremely popular in period, before the J-Type model range was superseded by the PA, and they remain highly sought after by collectors today.Chassis J2048 was delivered new to the Scottish Motor Traction Company on the 12th of September 1932 and is understood to have been one of the earliest, if not first J2 registered in Scotland, being registered ‘FS 5757’. Used as a demonstrator by SMT and rallied as part of a marketing exercise by employee Miss Marjorie Dickson, the J2 was successful in its competition, with several podiums and first places achieved in the hands of Miss Dickson (a full rally history records are at the base of the description). In private ownership for a few years of Miss Dickson’s competing, latterly rediscovered by MG historian Iain Wright of Glasgow in 1983 as a rolling chassis and coachwork, the vendor acquired the MG in 1986 and embarked on a full restoration over the ensuing twenty years.The original chassis (correctly stamped) was restored; the OHC MM engine sourced was overhauled and the cylinder head was given new valves, camshaft, and guides; new carburettors fitted; the dynamo was renewed; springs renovated; steering was restored by Sports and Vintage Motors; a new ash frame supplied; a full flow oil system fitted; wheels powder coated; the interior fully retrimmed; headlamps restored by Vintage Headlight Restoration; and full repainting. Invoices on file total some £16,500 worth of expenditure, with the J2 used occasionally for local runs and is now displaying in excellent condition and in as close as possible to its original colour combination of Red paintwork with Red interior trim.Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, the J2 is supplied with an excellent history file across multiple folders including the aforementioned invoice file, with additional documentation including copies of the original record card, correspondence with the factory, letters from the Dalrymple family, and other sundry paperwork. Featuring in both ‘How They Ran – J1s and J2s in Competition’ and ‘75 Years of the J2 MG’ by Mike Hawke, arguably the most interesting items in the history file are a selection of period photographs of the MG in active competition under Miss Dickson. Also accompanying is the hood trimmed in Tan, jack, and sidescreens (not trimmed).Now offered for sale due to the vendor’s advancing years and an MG TA project ongoing, this is an opportunity to purchase a notably nice J2 with very interesting provenance.April 1933 – MGCC Half Day Trial; 1stMay 1933 – E & DMC Scottish Six Day Trial; 1st in ClassJune 1933 – RSAC Scottish RallyJune 1934 – SSCC Half Day Trail; 1st in ClassJune 1934 – SSCC 24 Hour Reliability Run; 1st in ClassJuly 1934 – TVMC Inaugural RallySeptember 1934 – SSCC Half Day Trail; 3rd in Class & Winner of SSCC Mitchell TrophyJune 1935 – RSAC Scottish Rally; Gold Cup For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: LFL 369L Chassis No: 95100686A MOT: ExemptSubject to an extensive restoration that only recently completedFinished in the correct hue of NATO Green satin paintwork to a very high standardNicely detailed and presented very wellStarted readily and ran well during the recent consignmentThe smallest Land Rover available at the time was a Series IIA 88 inch wheelbase, which was too heavy. A new modification to the basic Series IIA was devised by making many body components easily detachable and removing many non-essential items. The result was the Land Rover Half-Ton, known widely as the Lightweight or Airportable. In practice, to reduce weight sufficiently for the helicopters of the day to lift them in combat conditions, the tilt and sticks, the upper parts of the body, the doors and windscreen were removed, to be refitted later. The most significant change, however, was a reduction in width by four inches, by redesigning the standard Series IIA axles and fitting shorter half-shafts, which meant it would fit on a standard pallet. Complete, the Lightweight IIA weighed 1202 kg, over the specified weight and heavier in fact than a 'standard' Land Rover. The term Lightweight was, therefore, confusing. However, with the removable body panels taken-off it was below the limit. Since improvements to the helicopters meant more lift was available, the Ministry of Defence accepted it for use. Production continued until 1984.Chassis ‘95100686A’ was supplied new to the military in 1972, understood to have been retained by them until 1986 when the Lightweight was road registered. Passing through the hands of three keepers before being acquired by the vendor in 2019, the Land Rover was partially restored but required completion upon purchase. Since then, the Land Rover has undergone a comprehensive restoration throughout, the final stages of which were completed at the start of this year, including new rear springs (correct for Lightweights) and shock absorbers, a new carburettor, and an interior retrim in the correct Black vinyl.The restoration has focused on using new old stock panels where possible and ‘LFL 369L’ has been painted in the correct hue of NATO Green satin paintwork to a very high standard. Under bonnet areas, as well as the interior and rear load bed are nicely detailed, with stainless fixings used where possible, as well as all new brake lines throughout. The electric system has benefitted from a full new wiring loom which has been correctly fitted through the chassis. This was complemented by new lights and bezels all round and a dashboard refresh, including the troublesome capillary oil temperature gauge system.Mechanically the vendor informs that the 2.25 engine functions as it should and is painted in ‘Duck Egg Blue' as most of the Military reconditioned engines were. The ignition system has been upgraded to electronic breaker-less and all new plugs/leads. The vendor informs that the gearbox, transfer box, and four-wheel drive system are all excellent and that the wheels and tyres are of the period correct 6.50x16 size including the bonnet-mounted spare. Starting readily and running well during the recent consignment, this very well presented Lightweight is a rare chance to acquire a comprehensively restored example with nice attention to detail.

Registration No: KVW 147Y Chassis No: ZAR11637003017518 MOT: April 2025Supplied new by Bridge Motors of Braintree, EssexKept garaged throughout its life and exceptionally well preservedExtensive and detailed history fileGo find another like this!PLEASE NOTE: This lot now has a fresh MOT certificate valid until April 17th 2025Featuring a drivetrain layout that Alfa Romeo had last used on its all-conquering Tipo 158/159 Grand Prix cars, the Alfetta saloon was launched in 1972. Based around a monocoque bodyshell, the newcomer was equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a De Dion back axle, rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Boasting excellent weight distribution thanks to its rear-mounted five-speed transaxle, the Alfetta was initially powered by a 1779cc version of Alfa Romeo's famous four-cylinder 'twin-cam' engine. Widely praised by the contemporary motoring press for its handling and roadholding, the three-box saloon spawned a two-door fastback coupe variant in 1974. Penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Alfetta GT was shorter, lighter and more aerodynamic (0.39 cd) than its sibling. Arriving during 1976, the range-topping Alfetta 2000 GTV was reputedly capable of over 120mph and helped Autodelta win the Group 2 (sub-2500cc) division of that season's European Touring Car Championship. Facelifted in 1980 and renamed the GTV 2.0 accordingly, the wedge-shaped four-seater remained in production for another seven years. Though, right-hand drive variants have always been something of a rarity. A true ‘timewarp’, this exceptional example has been in single family ownership and covered a mere 48,000 miles from new. Purchased by the late A. Richardson Esq from Bridge Motors of Braintree, they carried out the Pre-Delivery Inspection check at 531 miles with further services following at 3,101, 8,527, 20,736, 32,223, 37,416 and 43,517 miles. Although company registered at different times, the Alfa was Mr Richardson’s 'pride and joy' and he its only driver. Kept garaged throughout its life, the Coupe remains in remarkably original condition. The period-perfect interior features a wood-rimmed steering wheel, wooden gearknob, Black cloth-faced seats, fishnet headrests and rectangular instrument surrounds. Touch points such as the pedal rubbers and seat belts corroborate the low mileage. The fifteen-inch alloy wheels are shod with Goodyear tyres, while the engine bay still shows plentiful traces of the anti-corrosion treatment that the car received some forty-one years ago. The website howmanyleft.co.uk suggests that there are only forty-seven 1983 GTV 2.0s currently known to the DVLA. We doubt that any are better than ‘KVW 147Y’. Worthy of close inspection, this exquisite Alfa is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, owner’s manual, service book, anti-corrosion book and fresh MOT certificate. Go find another!

Registration No: 387 XVD Chassis No: H-BJ7-L/20372 MOT: ExemptThe subject of an extensive, three-year long, 'body off, chassis up' restoration by Max Rowley (formerly of P&A Wood) and his teamParts repaired or replaced as necessary with help from marque specialist A-H SparesFinished in the stunning combination of Midnight Blue with Biscuit leather upholstery and matching carpets (extending to the boot)Resident in America for much of its life and still to LHD specification to aid European touringEntered from a private collectionOne of the most charismatic British sportscars ever made, the Big Healey used what was essentially the same silhouette to evolve from a pared-back, four-cylinder Roadster through to a more civilised, six-cylinder Convertible. Introduced in February 1962, the 3000 MkII 2+2 'BJ7' model (nicknamed the MkIIa) pioneered such 'luxuries' as wind-up windows, swivelling quarter-lights and a fixed convertible hood. While the fitment of stiffer coil springs to the independent front suspension and a more direct steering box enhances its handling / roadholding capabilities. The manual / overdrive transmission gained a new case, and the 2912cc straight-six engine reverted to twin SU carburettors. With a reputed 132bhp and 170lbft of torque on tap, Girling front discs became standard equipment. The American magazine 'Sports Car Illustrated' noting with some delight that the BJ7’s speedometer needle could be wound beyond its final 120mph marking. For some, the short-lived MkIIa is the pick of the Big Healey bunch thanks to its combination of the classical (non-wooden) dashboard layout and improved soft-top. Built to left-hand drive specification on June 28th-29th 1962, chassis H-BJ7-L/20372 was dispatched to J. Inskip Inc of New York some two weeks later. Enlisting the help of The Austin Healey Club, the vendor became the 2+2-seater’s sole registered UK keeper when it was issued with the number plate ‘387 XVD’ on November 1st 2018. Although a complete entity that pleasingly retained its original engine, the MkIIa was somewhat tired. A true petrolhead with an expansive and diverse stable, the seller decided to treat it to a very thorough, ‘body off, chassis up’ restoration. Undertaken by former P&A Wood master mechanic Max Rowley and his colleagues, the project took three years to complete. Working ‘hand in glove’ with marque specialist A-H Spares Ltd, the body was refurbished with new galvanised floors and replacement steel and aluminium panels as necessary. The suspension and brakes were rejuvenated, the wiring renewed and the engine extensively overhauled. New lights, indicators and reflectors were fitted and various instruments reconditioned. Finished in the unusual but very handsome combination of Midnight Blue with extended Biscuit leather upholstery and matching carpets (including the boot), ‘387 XVD’ remains highly presentable. Tuned by an engineer well versed in preparing cars for historic motorsport, the engine burst into life upon inspection sounding throaty and purposeful in equal measure. A-H Spares Ltd remain very proud of their involvement in the car and indeed have described it as ‘truly one of the best examples of the marque that can be found anywhere’. In the enviable position of having more sportscars than he can find the time to use, the vendor has decided to thin his collection down. Seemingly ideal for Continental touring and offered for sale at a fraction of its restoration cost, this decidedly special Big Healey comes with a V5C Registration Document and restoration details etc. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737

As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, and servo-backed disc / drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell, the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph.Finished in Tahiti Blue and in current ownership since 2017 with just 4 former keepers recorded on HPI, this 1977 Stag is understood to be the 12th from last example to be produced on the production line. Displaying just c.62,100 miles, the Stag has both hard and soft tops and is fitted with wire wheels, although the 5 original wheels are included in the sale. There had been a previous bodywork restoration and repaint with photographs of the work on file. In current ownership attention has also been paid to the braking system. 'EGJ 513T' is offered with a workshop manual, old MOT certificates and invoices plus the current V5C and although exempt a current MOT into September 2024.

Registration No: ADO 677 Chassis No: 1L4656DN MOT: T.B.ABuilt by Suffolk Sportscars Ltd to 'top works specification' in 2008VSE overhauled, 'fast road' 4.2 litre XK DOHC engine with lightened flywheel, balanced internals and stainless steel exhaustFour-speed manual gearbox plus overdrive, full weather equipment and a heaterResident on the Isle of Man from 2014 - 2018 where it was road registered as 'MAN 100'Re-registered by the DVLA in 2018 with the number plate 'ADO 677' and described by them as a '1969 Jaguar Convertible, Green'PLEASE NOTE: This lot has a MOT Certificate valid until April 18th 2025 and passed with 'no advisories' Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful sports cars ever made, the Jaguar SS100 has been an object of desire for more than eighty years. Due to its rarity and value the model has inspired numerous imitations. Though, few - if any - have been as aesthetically accurate as the cars built by Terry Rowing of TRAC Engineering. By the late 1980s Rowing had established an enviable reputation for restoring genuine SS100s and learnt how to remanufacture components such as the solid brass chromed radiator surround, alloy louvered bonnet and folding windscreen etc. Deciding to create a Jaguar XJ6-based SS100 Evocation that combined the style and feel of the original with more modern road manners, he approached current Red Bull F1 designer Adrian Newey (a customer at the time) for permission to take precise GRP body moulds from the latter's superb 1938 car. Unveiled in late 1990 the resultant TRAC prototype was well received by the motoring press. The production version was predominantly supplied in 'home-build' form at the rate of four a year until 1996 when the manufacturing rights were purchased by Roger Williams of Suffolk Sportscars. Reborn and refined as the Suffolk SS100, the design remained in production until 2020. According to its accompanying history file, this particular example was factory-built by Suffolk Sportscars Ltd to ‘top works specification’ in 2008 utilising the donor identity of a 1969 Jaguar XJ6 S1 4.2 litre SWB Saloon. Finished in British Racing Green with Black leather upholstery, the two-seater features Brooklands aeroscreens, reproduction Lucas QK596 headlights, ‘Owl Eye’ style rear lights, silver-faced instruments and a Black mohair hood (plus matching tonneau cover). Opening the louvered alloy bonnet reveals polished camshaft covers and twin SU carburettors (the latter with pancake filters). Overhauled by marque specialist VSE, the ‘fast road’ 4.2 litre straight-six engine boasts a lightened flywheel and balanced internals. Allied to four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission, it imbues the SS100 with a rapid and long-legged gait. Purchased by its previous keeper, N. Sykes Esq., for the princely sum of £68,600 in 2014, the Suffolk spent the next four years on the Isle of Man where it sported the number plate ‘MAN 100’. A frequent returnee to the factory for servicing, the two-seater was re-registered as ‘ADO 677’ by the DVLA not long after entering the current ownership during 2018. Listed on the accompanying V5C Registration Document as a ‘1969 Jaguar Convertible, Green’, it remains just as smart as the modest 13,000 miles displayed to its odometer would suggest. The vendor has made preliminary enquiries about having the car IVA tested but not borne the associated circa £6,000 - £8,000 expense after receiving conflicting advice as to its necessity. Regularly MOT tested up until this year, ‘ADO 677’ started readily thanks to its electronic 1-2-3 ignition upgrade and ran well during a recent test drive. All but guaranteed to turn heads wherever it goes, this decidedly handsome, factory-bult Suffolk SS100 is offered for sale with history file, tool kit, battery conditioner and wind wings etc. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737

Registration No: B20 LSR Chassis No: GWF0CXXGAECET88523 MOT: February 2025Highly original example with just three former keepersNotably sound underneath and treated to a top-end engine overhaulSupplied new by Jessups Ltd of Stamford, LincsDesirable Mineral Blue over Strato Silver colour scheme plus 'Laser' (LSR) number plateIntroduced in November 1984, the special edition Capri Laser featured a six-gauge dashboard, tinted glass, tailgate-mounted spoiler, leather-trimmed gear lever / steering wheel, body coloured grille / door mirrors, RS alloys, unique graphics, Black-painted bumpers and Truro cloth upholstery. Available with a choice of 1.6-litre or 2-litre SOHC four-cylinder engines allied to either five-speed manual or automatic transmission, the larger capacity variant was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 9.6 seconds and 113mph. The very last Capri Laser rolled off the production line at Ford's Cologne, West Germany plant during November 1986. Supplied new via Jessups (Stamford) Ltd to H.R. Wright, chassis GAECET88523 belonged to David Johnson for two months before being bought by Leslie Cornick on 12th June 2001. Treasured by Mr Cornick, a handwritten note on file details his request for the Capri’s inner wings to be sprayed with old engine oil as a preservative, while he was also responsible for sourcing the appropriate number plate ‘B20 LSR’ (2.0 litre Laser) for it. Entrusted to Misterton Garage (Ford) for a new camshaft and cylinder head overhaul in 2006, the four-seater was subsequently rolling road tuned by Sigma Engineering (2007) and treated to a new radiator (2015). Purchased by the current registered keeper from the late Mr Cornick’s estate during 2021, he had the Capri recommissioned for road use and re-sprayed in its factory colour scheme of Mineral Blue over Strato Silver. The original Truro II Grey cloth upholstery remains in situ but is protected by seat covers (the stitching on the driver’s pew having come apart). Warranted to have covered a mere 55,300 miles at the hands of its four registered keepers, this appealing Laser is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original book pack and MOT valid until February 2025.

Registration No: W61 RPB Chassis No: YS3DF75C617000288 MOT: March 2025One lady owner from newVery low mileage having covered a warranted 24,500 milesDesirable Turbo SE example with the rare manual gearboxOffered with the original stamped service book showing excellent service historySurely one of, if not the best example extant?When it came to replacing the classic 900, SAAB’s paymasters General Motors were looking for a lightly restyled Vectra. Typically, they didn’t get it. The NG900, later renamed 9-3, so comprehensively departed from its GM underpinnings that little was left. That was good news for buyers, who got a typically innovative and well-engineered car with an ultra-reliable 2-litre turbocharged SAAB engine. Enthusiasts are now returning to these 9-3s for precisely these qualities, with the convertible particularly appealing for its four-seater versatility, with three or five-door hatchbacks or a two-door Convertible having been available. The SE boasts a sportier look with a front chin spoiler, flared rocker panels, a new rear valence, body-coloured mirrors and a sports steering wheel, and with 250bhp, offering 0-60mph in 7.3 seconds and 143mph.Chassis number ‘617000288’ was supplied new by Saab main agents Ian Allan Motors of Virginia Water, Surrey to its first lady owner, who has retained the Saab for its whole life. Finished in Silver paintwork with Grey leather interior upholstery, wooden dash veneers, and a Black electric hood, the Saab also features electric windows, heated seats, a CD radio player, and alloy wheels. A Turbo example in SE specification, ‘W61 RPB’ pleasingly retains its original front and rear dealer number plates, SAAB floor mats, spare wheel, and original jack and warning triangle, and is offered for sale now having covered just c.24,500 warranted miles from new.The Saab is accompanied to sale by the original book pack containing the owner’s manual, dealer map, SAAB security guide, in-car safety leaflet, SAAB assistance, quick reference guide, and the stamped service book, all presented in the SAAB wallet. The stamped service book illustrates an excellent service history with fifteen services plus the PDI, with the majority of those completed by the supplying dealership or SAAB specialists, the most recent of which being completed in January this year (by a well-respected specialist) at 24,501 miles. Also offered with a current V5C document showing zero former keepers, very good MOT history, and a ‘no advisory’ MOT certificate until March 2025.A notably nice example and driving very well for the photography session, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a one-owner and low mileage 9-3 SE Turbo Convertible and is therefore ideal for preservation or as an addition to a private collection. Surely one of, if not the best example extant? For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: Unregistered Chassis No: 121567DN MOT: ExemptBespoke-built c.2012-2018 'modernised' Mk2 JaguarLarge list of upgrades for 21st century roadsModern air conditioning from RetroAir USA, electrically adjustable X300 sport seatsSome would say 'widely regarded' as the best-looking Saloon ever made on these shores, the Jaguar Mk2 embodied Sir William Lyons' famous philosophy of ‘grace, pace and space’. Some owners are never fully content and try to improve the ownership experience, which is where the creator of this car comes in.Completed in c.2018, the initiator of this build had said he always loved the lines of the Mk2, but was concerned that after years of being spoiled by the sheer convenience of modern cars, the reality of driving such an old car simply couldn’t live up to the dream. His answer was simple, he would get one bespoke-built just the way he wanted it. His first task was to source the best possible shell he could find, the solution coming in the form of a 'virtually rust-free' two-owner Mk2 2.4 model dating from October 1967, which he bought in 2012. Over the next six years he had the car 'professionally rebuilt from the ground-up', adding many upgrades along the way.Highlights of the full 2018 specification include a fully overhauled 3.8 Litre engine with new pistons etc., mated to a reconditioned Jaguar X300 automatic gearbox. Uprated systems include disc brakes and rear coil suspension conversions, copper extra-cored radiator, Kenlowe fan, heating and ventilation including modern air conditioning from RetroAir USA, electrically adjustable X300 sport seats, inertia-reel seat belts front and rear; Nardi steering wheel; modern sound system, new door, boot and screen rubbers, 4 new 15” MWS 72-spoke chrome wire wheels with new Avon tyres; the list goes on.Halfway through the build the then owner saw details of the upgraded Mk2 Jaguar that Ian Callum (Director of Design at Jaguar) had specially commissioned Classic Motor Cars Ltd (CMC) to make for him on his retirement. Taking inspiration from that car, he copied the front and rear styling, ditching the heavy chrome bumpers in favour of lightweight resin bumpers moulded to the shape of the car and painted in body colour, a mesh grille being added for a more sporting look. The wheel arches were also subtly flared and the whole car treated to a bare metal repaint in Rouge Lucifer (Diablo Red) Metallic. Now wearing Silver to the bumpers and in need of some fettling, it is offered at a fraction of the costs lavished upon it in 2018. It needs to be noted a mechanical issue coming from the engine compartment is present and the Jaguar has also recently been returned to the UK from Spain and has been marked for export by the DVLA so duty will be owing.

Registration No: MHE 283M Chassis No: BA0604 MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership since 2010Imported to the UK in 2003Understood to have been extensively restored in the early 2000sFitted with 'Group 4' stylingRiding on a set of Gotti split-rim alloy wheelsUnderstood to have been built in Spain by FASA RenaultUnveiled at the 1962 Paris Salon, the Alpine A110 proved more than a match for many contemporary sportscars thanks to its remarkably low kerb weight, superb traction and excellent handling. A rear-engined, rear-wheel drive design, the newcomer featured rack and pinion steering, all-round independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Styled by Giovanni Michelotti, its fibreglass bodywork was bonded to a rigid steel backbone chassis resulting in a notably strong structure. Able to make the most of its humble Renault drivetrain, even the initial 1-litre variant was reputedly capable of 120mph. Progressively evolved over the course of its fifteen-year production life, the A110 distinguished itself in international competition. Winner of the 1968 Coupe des Alpes and 1971 Monte Carlo Rally, the sleek Berlinette claimed the World Rally Championship two years later. Alpine licensed the A110 to companies in Mexico, Bulgaria and Spain.In current ownership since 2010, this Alpine 110 was imported to the UK in 2003. Understood to have been extensively restored in the early 2000s, it is fitted with 'Group 4' styling.

Muscular yet agile, sophisticated and powered by a magnificent engine, it makes the Bentley GT look frumpy and cumbersome. If you have a loose £105,000 knocking about, there’s nothing that comes close to matching the CL63 AMG’ (CAR magazine, 5th October 2006) Launched at the 2006 Paris Salon, the C216 generation of Mercedes-Benz’s long-running S-Class Coupe was styled by Gorden Wagener and Peter Pfeiffer. An extravagant 2+2-seater intended to do battle with the Aston Martin DB9 and Bentley Continental GT, the newcomer was powered by various V8 and V12 engines with the fastest variants benefiting from the attention of the Stuttgart manufacturer’s in-house tuning division, AMG. Deemed by many to be one of the greatest, naturally aspirated V8 engines ever made, the 6208cc unit fitted to the CL63 AMG was rated at 518bhp and 465lbft of torque. Allied to seven-speed automatic transmission, it enabled the super coupe to blast from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds. The top speed was limited to 155mph (though, 200mph was reputedly possible with the relevant electronics bypassed).Featuring the fabulous 6208cc V8 engine, developing some 518bhp / 465lbft, the CL63 AMG was a true ‘super coupe’.

Registration No: MM51 ZBD Chassis No: WDB1704652F250983 MOT: September 2024Only 75,600 miles from new with just three former keepersLargest engine variant SLK with the 3.2-litre V6 engineRare and desirable six-speed manual transmissionStriking colour combination of Lazulithe Blue metallic with a two-tone Blue interiorAt the start of the 1990s, after the introduction of their two-seat grand-tourer, the R129 SL, the launch of the Mazda MX-5 encouraged Mercedes-Benz set out to create a new compact roadster, slotted below the SL. By late 1991, under Bruno Sacco, the first design sketches were drawn, with scale models being built in the first half of 1992. Massively successful in its first year, worldwide sales hit 55,000, over double the entire nine-year production of 190 SLs and between 1996 and 2004, over 311,000 SLKs were sold. The roof design consists of a folding steel hardtop with both halves linked by a mechanism that is locked securely when the roof is closed. At the touch of a button on the centre console, a hydraulic system controls the fully automatic folding process in which the boot lid is also integrated.Manufactured new in 2001 and supplied new to the United Kingdom, ‘MM51 ZBD’ was first registered on the 17th of October that year. Finished from the factory in Lazulithe Blue metallic paintwork with complementary two-tone Galaxy Blue and Merlin Blue leather interior upholstery with Eucalyptus wood dashboard, steering wheel grips and interior finishes. An example of the largest engine variant SLK (bar the AMG) with the 3.2-litre V6 engine, it is allied to the rare and desirable six-speed manual transmission, the SLK was provided with the options of an electric adjustable driver's seat, Mercedes-Benz radio with CD, interior protection package, and heated screenwash system.Offered now having covered just 74,600 miles from new and has only three former keepers. Accompanied to sale by the original book pack including the owner’s manual and the stamped service book presented in the Mercedes-Benz wallet, the service book has six stamps with further invoices in the history file for additional servicing. Also present are additional invoices and a collection of previous MOT certificates, as well as a current V5C document. Presented in a rare and striking colour scheme and with the scarce combination of the 3.2-litre V6 engine and manual transmission, this is a very appealing SLK and temptingly offered without reserve.

Registration No: LBW 888E Chassis No: GHN399414 MOT: February 2025Acquired by previous keeper, E.F. Williams Esq, in 1980 and cherished across the next four decadesTreated to much work by Brown & Gammons in the 1980s and an Oselli conversion during 2003'Stage 2' 1995cc engine, sports recliner seats, alloy bonnet, uprated front discs, honed suspesnion etcChrome bumper looks but with enhanced performance and handling capabilitiesIntroduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, its 1798cc 'B' series four-cylinder engine was allied to four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph (especially if specified with overdrive), the provision of disc/drum brakes and rack and pinion steering greatly aided control. However, the biggest visual change in the car’s history occurred when steel reinforced rubber bumpers replaced the chrome ones and the ride height was raised by one inch. By the time Roadster production ceased in October 1980, a total of 399,070 are said to have been produced. The accompanying history file for this appealing, chrome bumpered Roadster dates back to 5th June 1980 when its longest-term owner – E.F. Williams Esq – bought it from well-known MG B exponent Barry Sidery-Smith of Westbury Garage for £2,150. Retaining the two-seater across four decades, Mr Williams commissioned renowned marque specialist Brown & Gammons to restore the bodywork in 1986 before agreeing a series of upgrades with David Eales of Oselli some seventeen years later. As well as being fitted with an Oselli ‘Stage 2’ lead-free 1995cc engine, the Roadster had its gearbox and back axle overhauled. The brakes and suspension were uprated to cope with the extra power and torque (later measured at 119bhp/142lbft) and the fresh coat of Woodland Green paint offset by Black leather sports recliner seats. In all the work cost some £13,308.28. Thereafter the MG was treated to a new mohair hood in 2007 and a replacement starter motor, alternator and gearbox (with associated transmission tunnel modifications) in 2016. Still highly presentable, ‘LBW 888E’ sports a Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel, alloy bonnet, silver-painted wire wheels and negative earth electrics. Starting readily upon inspection, ‘LBW 888E’ is a tribute to Mr Williams’ caring ownership and Oselli’s workmanship.

Registration No: PBP 185E Chassis No: HBD7581305 MOT: ExemptBlydenstein Stage 2 upgrade in 1969 (with invoices)An excellent opportunity to acquire a 2 door-bodied HB with period performance upgradesThe vendor states it's 'sound...but requiring some cosmetic attention'Vauxhall's Viva was launched in September 1963 as a neat, compact two-door saloon sharing much of its running gear with the Opel Kadett. Three years later, its HB replacement appeared, with wider, sleeker transatlantic-influenced `coke-bottle' styling. Under the skin was coil-sprung independent front suspension followed by a properly located live rear axle, providing a much more sophisticated ride than the contemporary Ford Escort and Cortina. It wasn't long before the Viva attracted the attention of famous tuner Bill Blyndenstein, who built his first racing Viva in 1966 and took a class win with it at Snetterton the following year. This 1967 HB with an ‘in-period’ offered Blydenstein Stage 2 upgrade in 1969 (with invoices), has had 40 years in the hands of the first owner plus subsequent ownership by Viva Club committee members. Displaying c.100,800 miles with an engine recondition at 70,000, the vendor considers the vehicle to be ‘sound, both structurally and mechanically but requiring some cosmetic attention and a check-over before use’. This could be an excellent opportunity to acquire a 2 door-bodied HB with period performance upgrades with immediate potential as a lively everyday classic!The history file, interestingly, contains an original Blydenstein sales sheet and invoices, letters and photographs relating to the history of the car, an original sales brochure, handbook and service book, in addition to sundry invoices, old MOTs, invoices, etc. ‘PBP’ will be driven to the sale at Buxton.

Registration No: DVF 389K Chassis No: KE101440 MOT: November 2024Subject to full restoration completed in 2023, with few miles covered sinceFactory optioned overdrive, with fabric Webasto style sunroofExtensive history fileTo counter the Austin-Healey Sprite budget sports from their then arch-rivals BMC, Triumph rushed out the Spitfire, which was essentially an open 2-seater version of the Herald saloon, employing the same 1147cc engine, chassis and swing-axle rear suspension. Styled by Michelotti, the Spitfire MkI to V was made from 1962 to 1980. Pitched against the MGB GT, a 1998cc 6-cylinder Vitesse engined Spitfire with Fixed Head Fastback Coupe body, the GT6 MkI, was offered 1966-1968. The 1968-1970 GT6 MkII had improved rear suspension and higher MkIII Spitfire bumpers, whilst the improved 1970-1973 GT6 MkIII with Spitfire MkIV styling ended the line. Once considered the ‘poor man’s E-Type Jaguar’, this gutsy Triumph GT is now very much sought after by collectors with values on the rise as a consequence.Manufactured on 6th October 1971, this home-market MkIII GT6 was delivered to Duff, Morgan and Vermont Limited, Norwich on 20th October that year and was presented in New White with Black trim, featuring Overdrive as a factory optional extra.First registered on 1st January 1972, the car was initially restored in the early ‘80s, before being subject to a further re-spray in the ‘90s. Having passed through 2 further owners over this period, a mechanic purchased the car in June 2003 and subsequently began an extensive mechanical restoration. Works included a complete engine overhaul, the chassis being media-blasted and powder coated, the body re-mounted with polyurethane mounts, a replacement differential, brake servo, the rear wheel arches and boot floor replaced, the canvas roof replaced, wiring loom, alternator and belt, radiator core, prop shaft and overdrive replaced, starter motor, wheels, water pump, rear suspension and more. There are numerous photographs of this work within the history file.The car was purchased by the current owner and although the car had received much mechanical attention over its ownership, the paintwork had seen better days and was Red. Thus, a full professional and sympathetic restoration commenced. The car was returned to its original White and small features such as the bumpers left as they were to retain some character. Worth noting, is that much attention was paid to the bodywork, with numerous repairs and extensive metal work undertaken to ensure little filler was required. The interior was re-upholstered including replacement headlining, sunroof, door cards and carpets. The dashboard was also replaced, along with replacement wood trim. Having been completed in late 2023, this lovely GT6 is now ready for its new owner to enjoy and for good measure, comes with an MOT valid until 26th November 2024 with no advisories.Accompanied with the vehicle is an extensive history file. Included within is the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, a large collection of previous invoices and MOT certificates dating back as far as 1994, some written history on the car showing its life beforehand, photographs of the previous owner’s mechanical restoration, as well as a USB stick containing numerous photographs documenting the recent restoration. A ‘GT6 MkIII’ reproduction owner’s handbook is also included, along with a Service Training Notes book. For more information, please contact: Andreas Hicks andreas.hicks@handh.co.uk 07929 363573

Registration No: P660 LRK Chassis No: WDB1290632F139154 MOT: July 2024Current (fifth) ownership since 2015Finished in Azurite Blue Metallic with Beige leather and a Dark Blue soft-topHeated front seats, optional rear seats, 8-hole alloy wheelsThe fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz’s much-vaunted SL (the R129-Series) was launched at the 1989 Geneva Motor Show. It was a beautifully-engineered motorcar that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. The specification included independent suspension all round, adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar and front air bags. When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder engine of 220bhp.Finished in Azurite Blue Metallic with Beige leather upholstery and a Dark Blue soft-top, ‘P660 LRK’ also boasts a factory hardtop, heated / memory front seats, optional rear seats and 8-hole alloy wheels. Entering the current (fifth) ownership in 2015, the Mercedes-Benz has now covered an impressive 203,800 miles. Treated to new front wings during 2016, the SL320 is judged by the seller to be in ‘good overall’ condition with regards to its 3.2 litre straight-six engine, five-speed automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. The power hood is said to be in working order and ‘P660 LRK’ passed its most recent MOT test on July 11th 2023 with five minor advisories. The accompanying paperwork file shows maintenance by main dealers and specialists, while the rear seats appear little used.

Registration No: 934 XVN Chassis No: GHNL88411 MOT: ExemptPowered by a MGB 1800 engine and gearboxFinished in British Racing Green with a Cream interiorSubject to an extensive restoration in 2021Offered with history fileIntroduced in Autumn 1955, the MGA Roadster married a proven chassis design complete with independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering to a new B-series four-cylinder, pushrod-ohv engine. Borrowing cues from the Abingdon factory's successful EX182 prototype racers (5th- and 6th-in-class at that year's Le Mans) its wonderfully elegant styling ensured strong sales on both sides of the Atlantic. Continually updated, the MGA range was joined by Coupe and 'Twin Cam' variants in 1956 and 1958 respectively. Prompted by the latter's performance advantage, the standard pushrod model received a capacity increase to 1588cc and front disc brakes in May 1959. The resultant '1600' MKI was capable of almost 100mph.‘934 XVN’ began life as a 1960 export model for a left-hand drive market. Repatriated and subsequently converted to right-hand drive upon arrival in the UK, '934 XVN’ was restored in March 2021. We believe the MGB 1800cc engine, gearbox and overdrive were mated to the car at this stage. With an interior trimmed in Cream leather with Black piping, ‘XVN’ is finished in the traditional shade of British Racing Green. Finishing off the iconic appearance of a British sportscar is a wood rim steering wheel with matching gear knob, chrome wire wheels, bumpers and a chrome rear luggage rack plus side screens, indeed, every inch of this MGA appears to have been afforded a refresh. Accompanying the little Roadster are a quantity of related books and a history file of paperwork. The MG is offered with a current V5C document.

Registration No: SCZ 9635 Chassis No: WP0ZZZ94ZGN405367 MOT: June 2024Supplied by AFN Limited of MiddlesexFitted with retro-fit Design-90 alloy wheelsOffered with a selection of invoices for parts and maintenance151,940 recorded miles Porsche introduced the 944 in 1982 to replace the Porsche 924 as their entry-level model, although the 924 continued until 1988 as an even lower-priced alternative. Many Porsche enthusiasts considered the 944 to be the first real front-engined Porsche, because it didn’t have the Audi sourced 2.0 litre engine from the 924. Instead, the 944 started life with a 2.5 litre straight-4 engine which was based on one-half of the Porsche 928's V8 engine. Based on the earlier 924 body, some noticeable changes included flared wings, flared quarter panel and a larger rear spoiler.This charming 1986 Porsche 944 was originally supplied by AFN Limited of Middlesex. Presenting in Guards Red, it boasts a stylish set of 16” retro-fit Design-90 alloy wheels, typically found on the later S2 model of the 944 and has evidently received a cosmetic makeover in recent times. With its pleasing Porsche charm offered by its pin-striped Brown cloth upholstery, notable features inside include electric adjustment for the driver's seat and a facelifted dash design reminiscent of the models seen throughout the 968 series. Additional features comprise an electric (lift-out) sunroof with a storage bag and electric windows plus mirrors.Despite clocking some 151,940 miles, not untypical at this age, 'SCZ 9635' comes with a comprehensive history file boasting 20 old MOTs dating back to 1990 and 2 keys. The history file also includes invoices for parts and maintenance, as well as purchase receipts and copies of old registration documents. Additionally, the file contains the V5C, manuals, and service book detailing 15 old service stamps, the most recent of which is dated May 2005 at 130,960 miles, along with five additional stamps for brake fluid/coolant changes.

Registration No: WL 369 Chassis No: 151057 MOT: ExemptRestored during the 1960s and hardly used since, although recommissioned and kept in ready-to-use condition by the vendorSubject to a full engine overhaul within recent yearsDesirable two-seat tourer with Dickey seatIntroduced during 1913, the basic Morris 'Bullnose' design lasted until 1926 by which time its variants accounted for an impressive forty-five percent of new car sales in the UK. Compared to domestic and foreign rivals in the 12hp-14hp market, the model offered notably good performance courtesy of its torquey, four-cylinder engines and light yet robust leaf-sprung chassis. As well as having its engine enlarged from 1548cc to 1802cc for 1923, the more expensive Oxford derivative gained a longer wheelbase and four-wheel brakes two years later.Pleasing supplied with its original bill of sale, this charming Morris Oxford has an extensive history file dating all the way back to the 1920s and its buff log book displaying a number of previous owners - and still retains its original registration number. Understood to have been subject to ground up restoration during the 1960s when vintage cars were back in fashion thanks to clubs such as the VSCC - WL 369 was then painted in Plum over Black as it presents in today, used until the early 1970s and then laid up. The vendor took ownership of the car in 2013 and a previous owner had attempted to unseize the engine, although this had displaced a bore liner in the process. The vendor undertook a full engine overhaul with a Morris specialist and ensured the rest of the car was mechanically sorted. Sadly, in his 10 years of ownership the vendor has not used the car on the road at all, although has ensured it is in fine fettle throughout, and has therefore decided that it is time for this fine little car to find a new, loving home.

Registration No: MAB 769P Chassis No: GHN5361631G MOT: ExemptDesirable overdrive exampleAccompanied by full weather equipment including rare hard-top!Minilite style alloy wheelsOffered with a history fileIntroduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, its 1798cc 'B' series four-cylinder engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control.Manufactured new in 1975, this MG B was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 1st of August that year. Finished in Blue paintwork with Black cloth interior upholstery and is accompanied by full weather equipment comprising full tonneau, hood tonneau cover, and hood, all trimmed in Black, as well as a body colour hard-top, albeit needs repainting. A desirable overdrive example that has been subject to a self-evident previous restoration, the MGB now presents with Minilite style alloy wheels painted in Dark Grey and shod with Pirelli P3000 tyres all round, and also features a chrome luggage rack and K&N air filters.Converted from rubber bumpers to chrome bumper specification in 2011, the parts included uprated and lower front springs and rear lowering kit, as well as the chrome bumpers, with the parts and fitment cost totalling some £1,700. Offered with a history file that includes a collection of invoices dating back to the 1980s, a large selection of MOT tests back to the early 1990s, a Haynes manual and spare parts catalogue, and current V5C document, as well as two sets of keys. Benefitting from a new battery in August last year, the Roadster started readily and both ran and drove well during our recent photography session, and is due to be driven some 40 miles to the sale.

Registration No: A861 VUU Chassis No: WDB1070422A003521 MOT: April 2025Supplied new via Mercedes-Benz of Nicosia (Cyprus) and imported to the UK by its first owner two years laterEligible for a zero rated (free) road fund licenceEighteen main dealer and specialist service stampsResident in London for much of its life and kept garagedComes with hardtop, (barely used) soft-top and optional rear seats etcPLEASE NOTE: This lot now possess a MOT certificate valid until April 2025. The odometer has recently stopped functioning but shows some 106,000 miles and not 109,000 as catalogued.Nicknamed the 'Panzerwagen' by Mercedes-Benz's own development engineers, the R107 series was the result of an extremely thorough design process. In an attempt to avoid falling foul of threatened American safety legislation, Stuttgart produced an open car whose structural rigidity surpassed that of some contemporary saloons! Indeed, even now some fifty years after its introduction the R107 retains a reassuring air of solidity. Allied to this was sure-footed handling courtesy of all-round independent coil-sprung suspension, power-assisted steering and disc brakes. Always more of a grand tourer than an out and out sports car, the vast majority of R107s were fitted with automatic transmission. Launched in September 1974, the Eurocentric 280SL was less powerful but more fuel-efficient than its V8 brethren. Though with some 185bhp and 177lbft of torque on tap from its fuel-injected 2746cc DOHC straight-six engine, the model could still boast authoritative 120mph performance. A distinct rarity in that it has only ever been registered to two members of the same family (father and son), chassis WDB1070422A009521 was factory finished in the attractive combination of Blue-Green Metallic with Dark Blue upholstery and a Dark Brown soft-top. Nicely specified, the 280SL boasts a Behr air-conditioner, 15-inch alloy wheels, optional rear seats and electric windows / mirrors. Supplied new by Mercedes-Benz of Nicosia, Cyprus, they carried out the first of eighteen services recorded in the accompanying maintenance booklet. Imported to the UK during 1986, the 280SL has always been kept garaged to the benefit of its bodywork (the wheelarches etc are notably sound). Warranted to have covered a modest 109,000 miles (the equivalent of 2,725 per annum), ‘A861 VUU’ has recently been recommissioned following a period of dry storage and is expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. Due to be driven to Buxton, this appealing and well preserved 280SL is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, owner’s manual, service book and assorted MOTs dating back to 1988 at 30,591 miles.

Registration No: 216 KO Chassis No: MHW6/18502 MOT: ExemptA mere 7,163 miles from new at the time of consignmentThree private owners from new with two from the same familyVery rare Traveller variant of the Farina OxfordSurely and unrepeatable opportunity with this originality, condition, provenance, and mileage?The Farina-designed Morris Oxfords were launched in 1959 and remained in production until 1971 and sought to continue the very successful and long-running Oxford name. The sixth Series offerings came in both Saloon and Traveller (Estate) forms from 1961, both using an uprated version of the B-Series BMC four-cylinder engine with a capacity of 1622cc. The basic body style was shared with the Austin Countryman but there were interior differences in dashboard and seating, as well as being built at different factories. Whilst many of the smaller Morris 1000 Travellers are still in circulation, the mid-range Oxford version, which was competing against the Singer Gazelle and Vauxhall Victor Estate cars of the time, is a far more rare find and a good one must surely be worth serious thought.First registered as ‘216 KO’, this amazing Morris was supplied new by Pheasant Garage Ltd of Erith, Kent to Mr A. R. Spilling Esq of St Paul's Cray (then classified as Kent but now part of Greater London) on 3rd January 1964. Maintained as a labour of love and very sparingly used, an accompanying MOT certificate from September 1973 reveals that the Oxford had covered just 4,150 miles up to that time. Taken off the road and put into storage the following year, the Traveller was inherited by Mr Spilling’s nephew during 1999. Sympathetically recommissioned and similarly only allowed to venture forth in good weather, ‘216 KO’ remained within Mr Spilling’s family until being acquired by the seller in 2004. Conscious of the Morris’s remarkable state of conservation not to mention the awards Mr Spilling’s nephew had collected, the vendor has done his best to preserve the Oxford’s remarkable originality, condition, and incredibly low mileage.Offered for sale now having covered just 7,163 miles from new, the Traveller displays numerous pleasing original features including the running-in instruction on the windscreen, the original crossply Dunlop tyres (albeit needing changing before any road use), the original Red leather interior (with the rear seats understood to have never been sat in), notably original paintwork in Dove Grey over Rose Taupe, and the registration number which has remained on the Morris from new. Accompanied by a history file that contains the RF60 buff logbook, original Passport to Service that displays the 1st service completed in May 1964 at 648 miles and corresponding ‘Shellubrication’ record, several original sales literature booklets and guides, several MOT certificates and some recent invoices, and a current V5C document. Recently fitted with a clutch slave cylinder in 2022, the Morris has also received a new battery in 2023. Traveller variants of the Farina Oxford are in short supply with very few surviving, so surely this example is unrepeatable with this originality, condition, provenance and mileage!

Registration No: YP 3916 Chassis No: 12651 MOT: ExemptIn current ownership for some thirty yearsTwo-seater coachwork with dickie seatBrakes relined and magneto overhauled in the last couple of yearsThe AC model made famous by The Hon. Victor Bruce’s win in the 1926 Monte Carlo RallyPLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press, we have been informed that the first Aceca had a single, passenger door only.It is therefore thought that this lot is a Royal Two-Seater with Dickey model. Although AC’s reputation was established by John Weller’s highly advanced overhead-camshaft six-cylinder engine fitted to this example, which offered 15.7bhp and 75mph in period, its early offerings relied on proprietary four-cylinder engines. The AC Six chassis featured quarter-elliptic springing front and rear, a three-speed gearbox in unit with the rear axle and worm final drive. Front-wheel brakes were optional at first, standard issue from 1927. Rated at 12hp for taxation purposes the four-cylinder AC remained in production until 1926, the firm relying exclusively on the Weller 15.7hp six thereafter. The Six took its place in history at the hands of AC works driver, The Hon. Victor Austin Bruce’s, achieving an outright win at the 1926 Monte Carlo Rally.Chassis 12651 was manufactured new in the year of The Hon. Victor Austin Bruce’s Monte Carlo Rally win, 1926, being supplied new to the United Kingdom and first registered on the 16th of July that year. Fitted with two-seater coachwork with dickie seat, the AC is presented in the attractive colour combination of British Racing Green paintwork with Black wings, and complementary Green interior upholstery. It is accompanied by its full weather equipment (hood, tonneau, and sidescreens) trimmed in Black, and features a three-speed box and rear brakes. Purchased from a friend of the vendor, who had owned the Six since 1988, the vendor acquired ‘YP 3916’ in 1994 and has used the car on several runs and rallies including touring the Cotswolds.Coming off the road in 2020, following the lockdown, the AC has remained off the road since and will therefore require a degree of recommissioning before pressing into use again. Despite this, during this period 12651 has benefitted from relined brakes and an overhauled magneto. The vendor informs that he believes the AC is ‘very good throughout mechanically’ and therefore only a light recommissioning should be required. Offered with a current V5C document showing just three former keepers, ‘YP 3916’ with the famous Weller’s six-cylinder engine is a very usable 1920s car and would be a great recommissioning project.

Registration No: P140 LRV Chassis No: SCFAA1119TK100669 MOT: April 2025 Presented in Cheviot Red with contrasting parchment interior54,600 miles from new21 service stamps,12 of which are Chiltern Aston Centre LtdOffered with a large collection of additional invoices and previous MOT certificatesAlthough Victor Gauntlett had long mooted the idea, it took the arrival of Ford money and TWR Group know-how for a new generation, 'small' Aston Martin to become a reality. Introduced at the March 1993 Geneva Salon - albeit deliveries did not start until late the following year - the newcomer had been subjected to more testing and development work than any of the marque's previous models. Indeed, under the watchful eye of Engineering Director Rod Mansfield Project NPX (as the DB7 was labelled) got through some thirty prototypes. Based around a steel semi-monocoque chassis the production version was equipped with all-round independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and power assisted rack and pinion steering. Derived from a proven Jaguar unit, the DB7's 3239cc DOHC straight-six engine boasted four valves per cylinder, Zytec multi-point fuel injection and an Eaton supercharger. Credited with developing 335bhp and 360lbft, it was allied to five-speed manual transmission as standard and reputedly enabled the Aston Martin to sprint from 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and reach 161mph. However, it was the way the Fixed-head Coupe looked, rather than its performance potential, which wowed the public. Styled by Ian Callum, the DB7 has long been regarded as a modern masterpiece. Priced at circa £80,000 the six-cylinder coupe remained current until 1999 by which time some 1,578 had been sold.Presented in Cheviot Red with contrasting parchment interior, this lovely example in previous ownership was subject to the headlining being re-upholstered, battery replaced and some other small areas fettled. There are a couple of small details that make ‘P140 LRV’ stand out somewhat. One of which, is an invoice by Just Astons Ltd in October 2020, it is stated ‘It is one of the cleanest DB7s I have seen’.This notion of a well looked after car is further supported by what can only be described as fastidious work by a previous owner who even made amendments and comments specific to the car throughout the entirety of the owner’s section; examples of which includes amendments to the starting procedure, diagrams of key fobs, correct locations of buttons relative to the car, additional information within various sections etc.Now showing 54,600 miles on the odometer, this DB7 is offered with an impressive history file. The ‘service’ section on the owner’s manual is full with 21 stamps; 12 of which are Chiltern Aston. There is a large collection of additional invoices for servicing and other works, a large collection of previous MOT certificates, the Aston Martin Quick Reference Guide, Alpine radio and Multichanger manual and the current V5C.

Registration No: T.B.A Chassis No: 74000965C MOT: ExemptFinished in Burgundy with Stone and with a Light Grey leather interiorOriginal service book and Rover Owner’s Instruction ManualA spare set of tyres, interior woodwork, factory spot lamps and spares includedCredible 22,700 miles recorded on the odometerPLEASE NOTE: Upon the successful sale to a UK buyer a V62 will be completed with a view to a new V5c document being issued by the DVLALaunched in Autumn 1962, the Rover P5 was conceived to stave off increasingly refined competition from the likes of Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. Available in Saloon and later Coupe guises - both of which employed four doors - the big Rover was the luxuriously-equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc/drum brakes. The initial 3.0-litre OISE straight-six engine was a development of the one used by its P4 stablemate (the production runs of the two models over-lapped), and automatic transmission, overdrive on the manual, and Burman power steering were all optional, with overdrive becoming standard from May 1960.Finished in Burgundy with Stone and with a Light Grey leather interior, chassis 74000965C was first registered on the 10th of August 1964, to the first owner, Maurice Langridge of Brentwood, Essex, before passing into the ownership (not stamped on the RF60) of a Raymond Langridge, Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, at an unknown date, but likely within the same family.Currently Southern Ireland registered the Rover's previous UK registration number was 'EWC 443B' which will hopefully be re-issued. A service book with the following entries: Eastern Automobiles of Chelmsford at 1,166 miles on 8.10.1964; at 3,033 on 16.3.65; at 6,597 on 20.10.65; at 9,363 on 19.9.66; at 11,737 on 20.6.67 and with JD Vehicle Services, Middlesex at 16,659 on 18.4.00; 19,101 at 19.5.05. The P5 is offered with a number of old tax discs, a Rover book pack with the Rover Service book, Rover Distributors and Dealers book, Rover Service Guide and Warranty book, Rover Owner’s Instruction Manual and the old buff logbook and Eire/Ireland Registration Document. A spare set of tyres, interior woodwork, factory spot lamps plus spares are included in the sale and a new exhaust has been fitted.

Registration No: LKE 472E Chassis No: 458782 MOT: ExemptDesirable pre-1968 SWB model complete with correct 5-gauge dashboardCurrent ownership since c.2016 and imported and registered to the UK in 2018Subject to a bodywork restoration, repaint and engine overhaul in the current ownershipFitted with big bore piston and cast cylindersOffered with a current V5C and a collection of invoicesFirst appearing in July 1964, the birth of the 911 marked the end of 356-production. Customers immediately noticed the differences from its predecessor - but with many improvements came a large price increase - the 911 was around $2,000 more than the comparable 356 model. Thus, by April 1965 a "middle ground" was achieved. The new 912 (essentially a 911 with a four-cylinder 356 engine) was less expensive and customers quickly noticed better weight distribution and better economy. Eventually outselling the 911 in the years it was current, more than 30,000 had left the Stuttgart factory by the time production ceased in 1969. One particular change during 912 manufacture came in its final year, 1969, when the wheelbase was increased from 2211mm (SWB) to 2268mm (LWB). The engine and rear suspension stayed in the same position but the suspension trailing arms were lengthened. This necessitated the rear wheel arches being moved rearward too.A desirable pre-1968 SWB 912, complete with the correct 5-gauge dashboard, this example is a 1967 model year, built in the earlier production year of 1966 (from the (458782 chassis number). It has been in current ownership since c.2016 and subsequently imported and registered in the UK in 2018. It had been stored in the State of Ohio for 30 years, with its previous keeper.‘LKE 472E’ has been the subject of bodywork restoration, a repaint and engine overhaul in the current ownership. The bodywork was restored and repainted some 5 years ago, having been originally finished in the same Golf Blue paintwork. Engine-wise the engine was overhauled and fitted with a 1720cc big-bore piston kit with cast cylinders. Benefitting from Continental tyres all around, it has had attention to the braking system, including caliper pistons and pads, and is expected to be driven to the sale if the weather allows. It is offered with a current V5C, a small box of spares and a collection of invoices. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: N855 DME Chassis No: WDB1290632F128770 MOT: March 2025Current registered ownership since 2005 and just two former keepers101,200 miles from newSupplied with the original and well-stamped service bookOffered with a body-coloured hardtopThe fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz’s much-vaunted SL model (the R129 Series) was launched at the Geneva Motor Show of 1989. It was a beautifully-engineered motorcar that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. The specification included independent suspension all round (double wishbone at the front/five link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar and front air bags. When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder engine of 220bhp and was continued through to 2002.Manufactured new in 1996, this SL 320 was supplied new to the United Kingdom being registered new on the 1st of May that year and was delivered to its first keeper by Mercedes-Benz main agents Lancaster Bow Ltd. of London. Finished from the factory in Green Black metallic paintwork with Beige leather interior upholstery, ‘N855 DME’ is accompanied by a body-coloured hardtop, and was specified from new with an adjustable steering column, speakers front and rear, headlamp cleaning equipment, eight-hole alloy wheels, and speakers front and rear. In current registered ownership since 2005, the Mercedes has been in dry storage for the last six years and has recently been taken out of storage for sale.Offered for sale now with 101,200 miles on the odometer and just two former keepers, ‘N855 DME’ is supplied with a history file that contains the original books including the stamped service book which illustrates fifteen entries, the most recent being completed at 100,582 miles. Further included in the history file is a large collection of invoices for work and maintenance while in current ownership, numerous previous MOT certificates, a no advisory MOT certificate until March 2025, and a current V5C document. Intended purchasers should note that since being taken out of storage the vendor has realised that the hood is now inoperable but believes this could be due to a faulty window control module (although this cannot be guaranteed).

Registration No: 138 UYS Chassis No: 4031356 MOT: Exempt1 of just 287 examplesMaintained to a very high standard, with recent works including a re-wire and full interior re-trimOffered with a large history file detailing all previous workFollowing World War II, British airplane manufacturer Bristol received the designs of BMW’s 328 racing engine, among the most successful of the pre-war era, as war reparations. Bristol took the engine, with its unusual dual pushrod-operated exhaust valves, and improved it for durability and reliability, then installed it in a new grand tourer with sensuously streamlined coachwork and plush interior fitments. The 403, of 1953–55, replaced the 401, yet retained a very similar outward appearance. Improvements included an engine with larger valves and main bearings to produce 100 bhp and which could accelerate the car from 0 to 60 mph in 13.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 104 mph. Improvements to the chassis included the fitment of an anti-roll bar and improved 'Alfin' drum brakes. These luxurious, streamlined saloons were hand-built for the wealthy few and were thus always few in number. Just 287 403s were built in the three seasons of production.Originally registered in the UK as ‘JTL 931’ on 20th July 1953, chassis 1356 is a first-year production example. Unfortunately, much of the early history of the car has been lost with the passage of time, however, there are tax discs dating from the early 2000s which give provenance prior to its export to the previous owner in Paris and it is understood that a paintwork overhaul was undertaken prior to this period. There are a number of invoices on file from the late 2000s from Spencer Lane-Jones Ltd in Warminster for maintenance so distance was no obstruction to the car's upkeep. The current keeper purchased the rare 403 when on a holiday in Paris and immediately re-imported it back to the UK and set about re-registering it under its original registration number. It was found that the original number had been re-allocated so therefore an age-related plate was issued by the DVLA. In the history file, there are large number of invoices documenting the current keeper's upkeep of the vehicle which has included a full rewire with a new Autosparks supplied wiring loom and a complete interior re-trim, including welding work to the sills and arches and more.On inspection, we were greeted with the sight of a very smartly presented car in the attractive finish of Maroon which fired up very easily given that the car had not run for over a month. The vendor describes the mechanical condition of the vehicle to be 'very good' thanks to the large amount of expenditure on upkeep. Given that the paintwork is now thought to be over 20 years old, it still glistens and gives evidence that it has been cherished. There is a very small amount of bubbling along the front valance however the vendor advises and some small chips in the paintwork but the vendor advises that the rest of the car is 'excellent'. A very rare opportunity thanks to low build volumes, the 403 is the ultimate evolution of the 401 and a true Gentleman's express.

Registration No: M502 KAC Chassis No: SALLHBM33MA655493 MOT: April 2025Formerly part of a 28-strong, private Range Rover collectionReputedly 1 of just 33 'soft dash' models to be finished in Niagara Dark Grey MetallicThe subject of much restoration work including new inner and outer sills plus attention to the inner wings, headlamp panel and tailgate etcAir-con, PAS, automatic transmission, heated front seats and sunroof etcFactory-fitted Brooklands bodykit, Cyclone alloy wheels, working air suspensionOnly built from March 1994 – February 1996, the Classic represented the ultimate evolution of the original Range Rover. Launched in 1970, Land Rover’s pioneering SUV had been the first vehicle of its kind to feature permanent four-wheel drive, ABS brakes, electronic traction control or air suspension. The initial series Rangie was also the only one to be displayed in the Musee du Louvre as an exemplar of industrial design or to have twice won the Dakar Rally. Long established as a global icon and ‘shorthand’ for British luxury, it is little wonder Land Rover hedged its bets by overlapping Classic production with that of its second generation (P38A) successor. Boasting a full suite of ‘mod cons’ including power steering, air-conditioning, heated front seats, automatic transmission and leather upholstery, the Classic was characterised by its ‘Soft Dash’ (derived from that of the contemporary Discovery). The flagship LSE variant boasted a longer 108-inch wheelbase for extra rear legroom and a potent 4.2 litre V8 engine developing some 200bhp/251lbft. A measure of the model’s collectability, the softdashregister.net lists just 375 examples. Finished in the late model colour of Niagara Grey Metallic with Grey leather upholstery, ‘M502 KAC’ also sports a desirable Brooklands bodykit which is perhaps unsurprising given that it was first registered to Land Rover UK Ltd on 8th June 1995. Looked after by Challenger 4x4 of Surrey for much of the 2000s / 2010s, the Classic joined Trevor Leggett’s 28-strong Range Rover collection during 2017. France’s most successful, high-end estate agent, Mr Leggett has an in-house team to service and improve his cars. The fruits of their labour are easy to see with the condition of ‘M502 KAC’ belying the 131,700 miles shown to its odometer. As well as replacement inner / outer sills, the Rangie has had attention paid to its inner wings, headlamp panel, tailgate and even underbonnet sound deadener. Starting readily and running well during a recent test drive, this rare and desirable ‘soft dash’ is offered for sale with original book pack, V5C and fresh MOT certificate.

Registration No: YAB 30M Chassis No: LE24037UBW MOT: ExemptFitted with a new soft-top in 2018Previously benefitting from a new brake master cylinder and an anti-theft systemCurrent V5C and Stag handbookIntroduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Despite being in production for seven years, during which time 25,877 cars were made, a mere 9,500 or so are thought to have survived.Finished in White 'YAB 30M' has been in the ownership since September 2016. Displaying some 121,000 recorded miles, in recent years the car has benefitted from a new brake master cylinder, an anti-theft system and a new soft-top in 2018. Around 2022 the car had a water trap fitted in the fuel line, due to previously having a suspected fuel supply contamination. Currently, not required but still fitted, the vendor suggests it might be better removed as it could be restricting the fuel flow and the engine can cut out. It is offered with a V5C and a Stag handbook. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: CJV 17 Chassis No: B342MD MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership since 1971Offered with chassis cars, records and a collection of invoicesOriginal tool kit, jack and registration numberFactory maintenance/service manual, old tax discs, a copy of the old-style logbookIntroduced in 1946, Bentley's MkVI was the first vehicle ever offered by the company with factory-designed coachwork, and the first to be assembled in Rolls-Royce's Crewe factory rather than the old Derby premises. Aimed at the emerging 'owner-driver' luxury car market, the newcomer was closely based on the 1939 MkV (of which only fifteen were produced). Built around a massive cruciform-braced chassis with independent front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, it was fitted with a freshly developed 4257cc OISE (overhead inlet side exhaust valve) straight-six engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. Capable of over 100mph when clad in the factory's understated 'standard steel saloon' coachwork, the MkVI quickly developed a reputation for being a refined yet responsive drive.Residing in ownership with the vendor for some 50 years, since 1971 to be more precise, we understand it was supplied new to the Limestone Farming co. Ltd in Gainsborough and to this day, still wears its original 1951 registration number ‘CJV 17’.With a largely original interior, it has seen a new headlining and there is also a working clock. Over the years ‘CJV’ has been Waxoyled four times and benefitted from a new radiator and a stainless-steel exhaust. It is understood there was an engine overhaul in the late 1970s and more recently it has benefitted from attention to the brakes. Accessories include the original jack with handle, wheel brace, tyre levers, spats and a complete tool tray. Additionally, ‘CJV 17’ has flashing indicators and a tow bar.Along with a collection of old MOT documentation dating back to 1975, also on file are the chassis card records, a collection of invoices, factory maintenance/service manual, old tax discs, a copy of the old-style logbook and the original handbook plus the current V5C. We are advised a number of spares are available by separate negotiation. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: J190 PKV Chassis No: WBABB22000EC16204 MOT: March 2025Rare and desirable Motorsport example, being 1 of only 250 produced in right-hand drive1 of only 50 manufactured in the final year (1991) and 1 of only 25 finished in Calypso Red Subject to a comprehensive restoration in 2010Current ownership since 2009 and seven former keepersPLEASE NOTE: This lot has eight former keepers instead of seven as catalogued.This lot has a fault with the electric hood which is not functioning. The fault is believed to be with the control module but this has not been confirmed. The 325i Motorsport was a limited-edition variant based on the 325i Convertible which was available between 1981 and 1991. There was a total of 590 cars produced and 250 in right-hand drive. The Motorsport kept mostly standard 325i running gear other than the addition of M-Technic sports suspension. Offered with the choice of manual or automatic gearboxes, the Motorsports were unique to the rest of the E30 range because of the paint colours and interior trims on offer. Colours were Macau Blue, Calypso Red, Sebring Grey, Mauritius Blue and Nagaro Silver depending on model year, with the interiors offered in an extended leather covering not only for the seats but the whole door card, centre and handbrake consoles as well as the ashtray. The early cars started with un-kitted metal bumpered cars (M-Tech 1 kit was an optional extra) through to plastic bumpered cars with the M-Tech 2 kit fitted as standard on later examples. The Motorsport cost over £30,000 when new.Manufactured in 1991, the 325i Motorsport was supplied new to the United Kingdom being registered on the 1st of August that year. This example is one of only 25 Motorsports manufactured in Calypso Red and is allied to the Lotus White leather Motorsport interior trim (only fitted to 1991 cars) which has recently been reconnolised. Provided with a comprehensive restoration in 2010, the BMW was subject to mechanical overhaul, suspension refurbishment, interior refresh, and the Black hood was replaced. Since then, the BMW has further been provided with renewed cooling equipment (including new water pump) in 2020, additional interior improvement and rear brake shoes in 2019. Supplied with a history file that includes a collection of past invoices, a small number of previous MOT certificates, and a current V5C document. Provided with a no advisory MOT certificate until March 2024, ‘J190 PKV’ is offered having covered a total of 122,500 miles (atoc) from new, the BMW has been in the current ownership for twelve years and has eight former keepers. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, paintwork, and electrical equipment as 'very good’, with the engine, gearbox and interior trim as ‘excellent’. A rare and desirable model in one of the most scarce of the limited colours. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: NNB 259G Chassis No: 1R8948 MOT: ExemptDesirable 'matching numbers' example with just 12,000 recorded milesFinished in its original colour combination of Primrose Yellow paintwork with a Black leather interior and Black hoodLong-term previous ownership (thirty years)Recent new mohair hood and full repaintOffered with Heritage CertificatePLEASE NOTE: This lot now has a saleroom estimate of £50,000 - £60,000.Interested parties should note that with the minimal use the E-Type has seen, a degree of recommissioning should be anticipated.Triumphantly unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore thanks to its supercar performance, stunning looks and modest price tag. Early racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement the newcomer's reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame, the E-type's combination of all-around independent suspension and disc brakes allied to rack-and-pinion steering resulted in excellent roadholding and handling capabilities. The indomitable straight-six XK twin-cam engine supplied abundant power. If the design had an Achilles' heel then it was the recalcitrant Moss gearbox. However, Jaguar was quick to correct this shortcoming with a four-speeder of its own design just part of a continual programme of E-Type development that saw the model metamorphose through three Series. Introduced in August 1968, the Series II cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements. Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. Available in open two-seater, Fixed-Head two-seater and Fixed-Head 2+2-seater guises, the American market accounted for the vast majority of Series II production. 8,627 open two-seaters made were made.Chassis 1R8948 was dispatched to British Leyland, New York on the 3rd of May 1969, and was finished in arguably the best E-Type colour combination of Primrose Yellow paintwork with complementary Black leather interior trim and a Black hood – pleasingly the same livery in which the car is very smartly presented today. Among the accompanying history file is a document from the Illinois-based keeper who purchased the Jaguar in 1987 from the previous owner who had purchased the E-Type as a retirement fund and thus had scarcely used ‘1R8948’ with a view of maintaining its value. Retaining the Jaguar from 1987 to 2014, the document details his tenure; including the long periods of storage that account for the car's incredibly low mileage, as well as extensive improvements.Repatriated in 2014, the E-Type is now offered with just 12,067 miles on the odometer, making this 55-year-old matching numbers E-Type barely run in! At some stage, it has benefited from having its power-strangling Stromberg carburettors replaced by a trio of UK specification SUs, and having been converted to right-hand-drive. In current ownership since 2019, the vendor has again scarcely used the E-Type to maintain the low mileage. Offered with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate; reproduction handbook and workshop manual; a collection of invoices and a current V5C. Clearly the subject of ongoing maintenance over time, 'NNB 259G' boasts a previously retrimmed interior; brake and suspension overhaul including new bushes; a new mohair hood, exhaust system and Michelin tyres. The Jaguar was also repainted as recently as 2018. Surely one of the lowest mileage E-Type examples extant! For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: CCN 894B Chassis No: 11304212008246 MOT: ExemptRecently imported from California from the Beverly Hills Car ClubPresented in very original, solid condition in Red over Cream Leather InteriorA 'Coupe Convertible' with both hardtop and soft-top roofs, automatic transmission and power steeringFully UK registered with V5C Registration Document presentSuccessor to both the exotic race-bred 300SL 'Gullwing' Coupe and its humbler 190SL sibling, the W113 series SL proved more comfortable than the former and faster than the latter (a point emphasised by Eugen Bohringer's 1963 Liege-Sofia-Liege rally victory). First of the line, the 230SL was introduced at the March 1963 Geneva Salon. Penned by Paul Bracq, its wonderfully crisp styling clothed a monocoque chassis equipped with all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and disc brakes. Powered by a 2308cc SOHC straight-six engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission, the model was credited with 150bhp and 159lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of 124mph, it was praised by the contemporary motoring press for its performance, roadholding, and refinement. Available in Californian Coupe, Convertible or Coupe Convertible guises, the last of these came with both a soft-top and the famous 'Pagoda' hardtop roof, so called because of its gently scalloped centre section.First supplied to the U.S Market as a left-hand drive automatic car, chassis 11304212008246 pleasingly retains a high degree of originality including its original Red over Cream leather interior colour scheme. The car is understood to have been sold by the Beverley Hills Car Club and imported to the UK in 2021, when it was received into the custodianship of a Gentleman in London. The car was then purchased by the vendor in 2022 and was transferred to his business in 2023, therefore the V5C now displays two previous keepers.On inspection, the car appears to have retained a large amount of originality thanks to its previous life in the dry climate of California. The Red paintwork is patinated yet in overall 'fair' condition although a prospective purchaser may wish to refresh this. The interior is in a beautiful original condition and has benefitted from a set of carpets in the front of the car. Mechanically, the car does run and drive however it is understood that the head gasket has failed between a cylinder and a cooling channel and in need of replacement. However, the vendor has confirmed that he was using the car previous to the failure and all other mechanical elements are in 'good' order. The car is presented with its body-coloured Pagoda top plus a Cream mohair hood which complements the colour scheme of the car very well.The car now offers a prospective purchaser a dilemma as to whether to simply fix the mechanical issues and use as is or restore the car to its former glory - either way this is a fantastic opportunity to score the iconic 'Pagoda' 230SL for a reasonable sum.

Registration No: WIW 3679 Chassis No: Z16A0000990 MOT: NoneOnly 61,000 recorded miles and just three former keepers225hp 3-litre DOHC 24v V6 engineDesirable manual transmission exampleProduct of the same JDM 'arms race' that spawned the Honda NSX, Toyota Supra Turbo (A80) and Nissan 300ZX Twin TurboPart of the same Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) arms race that spawned the Honda NSX, Toyota Supra Turbo (A80) and Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo, the Mitsubishi GTO debuted in 1990. Derived from the Mitsubishi HSX concept car that had appeared at the previous year’s Tokyo Motor Show, the newcomer bristled with cutting edge technology much of which is still being employed in today’s supercars including four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, electronically controlled suspension, active aerodynamics and twin turbos. Styled by Masuru Suzuki, the 2+2-seater featured a distinctive ‘Coke bottle’ silhouette and cossetting interior. Eager not to incur Ferrari’s wrath, Mitsubishi marketed its flagship sportscar as the ‘3000 GT’ in Europe.Chassis ‘Z16A0000990’ was supplied new to the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM), before arriving in the United Kingdom in 1998. Fitted with the 3-litre DOHC 24v V6 engine producing 225hp allied to a five-speed manual transmission, the Mitsubishi is finished in Monza Red paintwork with two-tone Grey cloth interior upholstery, and features cruise control, Carrozzerla cassette radio, climate control, and electric windows. Purchased into current ownership in 2014 through auction, at which stage the Mitsubishi was described as in 'good' condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim, it was also reported to have just benefited a recently renewed clutch assembly and had been regularly serviced.Placed into static display in dry storage since purchase by the vendor in 2014, the GTO now does require a thorough recommissioning although starts and proceeds under its own power, although the brakes certainly will require attention. Offered now with 61,000 miles on the odometer and has just three former keepers. Intended purchasers should note that the new owner will need to apply for a V5C document as there is not one present.

Registration No: DN 933 Chassis No: 942464 MOT: ExemptAn original Trafford Park-built, right-hand drive Model TBodied as a Landaulette and understood to have served as a taxi for many yearsFeatured on screen in 'Peaky Blinders', 'Downton Abbey' and 'Mr Selfridge' etcEntered from a private collectionPLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have spoken to Neil Tuckett of Tuckett Bros whose opinion of ‘DN 933’ is that it is “Probably the best surviving Town Car in the UK”. Mr Tuckett confirms that he sorted the Ford’s engine out and believes he has quite some paperwork on file relating to the car which he is more than happy to share with a new keeper including (perhaps) a copy of the 1967 bill of sale from the original owner.Launched in 1908, the T's chassis and mechanical components were made from exceptionally durable, high-grade vanadium steel. The Ford also featured a compact 2890cc, side-valve, four-cylinder engine that pioneered the use of a detachable cylinder head. Mounted in unit with the clutch and two-speed epicyclic gearbox assembly, it developed some 23hp at a leisurely 1,600rpm and 80lbft of torque. Top speed was limited to around 45mph depending upon bodywork, whilst brakes operated on both the transmission and rear wheels. With the introduction of a moving assembly line in 1913, Henry Ford famously turned his Model T into the world's first mass-made car. A year later, Model Ts represented 56% of all automobiles manufactured in the USA. However, it was not just the sheer volume of Model Ts rolling off the production line that motorised America, it was the inherent quality of the design. A real rarity, this right-hand drive Model T is understood to have been built at Ford’s Trafford Park factory complete with the Landaulette body it retains to this day. The registration number ‘DN 933’ was issued in York during January 1921 and the Ford is believed to have seen service there for many years as a Hackney Carriage. The engine currently installed (number 942464) dates from October 1915 and is assumed to be original to the chassis. The leather upholstery (including the fold down occasional rear seats) has a great deal of age to it but remains usable. Proudly sporting a supplier’s plaque from the renowned Model T specialist Tuckett Bros., ‘DN 933’ entered the current family ownership in February 2008. Part of a large private collection that was hired out for film and television work from time to time, the Landaulette has reputedly starred in ‘Peaky Blinders’, ‘Downton Abbey’, ‘War Horse’ and ‘Mr Selfridge’ being repainted different colours depending upon the production crew’s wishes. Starting readily upon inspection, ‘DN 933’ exhibits a pleasing patina and benefits from coil ignition, electric start and a two-speed rear axle. Surely, a ‘must have’ acquisition for a UK Model T collector? Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, period Halda taxi meter and sundry paperwork.

Registration No: SFK 600M Chassis No: 1S2329 MOT: ExemptOwned by the vendor's father from new54,412 miles from newOffered with a large history file displaying much recent expenditureFitted with the desirable manual gearboxBy 1971, Jaguar's jaw-dropping E-Type had been in production for a decade. Despite continual improvements, new emissions legislation in the all-important American market threatened to strangle the big cat's performance. Jaguar responded by giving its revered sportscar fresh claws in the shape of a 5343cc V12 developed from the stillborn XJ13 Le Mans project car. The new engine was both effortlessly powerful and eerily refined. "The turbine-like smoothness with which the engine provides a sustained shove in the back is almost uncanny, the more so when one accelerates hard in top gear." (Autocar 5th July 1973). With some 272bhp and 304lbft of torque on tap, the Series III E-Type once again had 150mph in its sights. A revised wheelbase yielded better cabin space, and in conjunction with wider front/rear tracks, new anti-dive front suspension geometry and fatter tyres gave improved road holding. Imbued with a more muscular stance thanks to its flared wheel arches, re-profiled wings and larger grille, the model also boasted vented disc brakes and a restyled interior.According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Certificate, chassis 1S2317 was completed on August 22nd 1973. Finished in Silver with Russet leather upholstery and a Black soft-top, the E-Type was despatched to distributor P.J. Evans of Birmingham some three weeks later and thence to the marque’s Castle St, Worcester franchisee. Purchased new by the vendor’s father and first road registered as ‘SFK 600M’ on 18th January 1974, the two-seater is warranted to have covered a mere 54,412 miles. Accumulating the majority of those during the 1970s (including several, memorable school runs), the Roadster was primarily restricted to holiday usage thereafter with trips to France and Cornwall. Driven less and less over the past thirty years, the Jaguar has nonetheless been treated to a fair amount of remedial work and minor restoration. Entrusted to leading marque specialist CMC of Bridgnorth in 2008, the E-type received attention to its power steering, brakes (new discs / pads), suspension bushes, rear subframe / differential, carburettors, fuel lines and cooling system etc plus the fitment of a stainless steel exhaust and five fresh tyres at a cost of £12,425.58. Benefiting from a new clutch slave cylinder and brake servo during 2009 and 2016 respectively, the Roadster was repainted by Worcester Classic Cars Ltd in 2017. The same company installed a new brake master cylinder and ignition pack during 2022. Awesome Auto Trimming of Cambridgeshire deep cleaned the upholstery / carpets as well as renewing the soft-top / boot mat and detailing the engine bay last year (associated £2,369 invoice on file). Passing from father to son in 2015, the latter comments: ‘a reluctant sale given the family history but I no longer have the time or budget to keep ‘SFK 600M’ in the condition it deserves’. A wonderful opportunity to acquire a low mileage, low owner, ‘matching numbers’, manual V12 Roadster at a tempting guide price.

Registration No: LJN 786E Chassis No: HBJ8L40857 MOT: March 2025Current ownership for the last twenty-one yearsSubject to extensive improvements while in the vendor's ownership including a bare metal repaintSpecified with overdrive and wire wheels from newUsed extensively while with the vendor touring the United Kingdom, Europe, and ScandinaviaOffered with a large history file including the BMIHT Heritage CertificateA significant step in terms of 'Big Healey' evolution and foundation block for one of the 1960s' most charismatic rally cars, the 3000 MkI was introduced in March 1959. Powered by an enlarged 2912cc version of BMC’s C-Series straight-six engine that developed some 124bhp and 167 lbft of torque, it could be had in two-seater (BN7) or 2+2 seater (BT7) configurations. Progressively improved, the 3000 metamorphosed through MkII and MkIIa guises before the arrival of the ultimate MkIII BJ8 in October 1963. Boasting a centre console, proper convertible hood, wood veneer dashboard, redesigned exhaust system and wind-up windows, the 2+2 seater BJ8 proved a comfortable and fast grand tourer. With engine output boosted to 148bhp and 165lbft of torque thanks to a new camshaft and better valve springs etc, its reputed 124mph top speed was accessed via a four-speed manual gearbox. Last of the line, the Phase Two variant benefited from redesigned rear suspension, strengthened splined hubs and larger diameter front disc brakes.Chassis ‘40857’ was completed on the 13th of March 1967 as a North American export car and was dispatched on the 31st of March that year destined for a dealership in Baltimore, United States of America. Specified from the factory with wire wheels, overdrive, an adjustable steering column, heater, Road Speed tyres, a laminated windscreen and a Black tonneau cover. Finished from new in metallic Golden Beige paintwork, with Black interior trim and hood, the Big Healey was repatriated to Britain in 1991 as a restoration project and was subject to repainting and converted to right-hand drive before returning to the road in 1992, before being purchased by the vendor in 2003 from renowned Austin-Healey specialist Murray Scott Nelson.Extensively improved throughout the vendor's ownership, the notable works include a carburettor refurbishment, new rear hub extensions, renewed starting equipment in 2021; front brake pads and rear brake shoes in 2020; heater and cold air trunking in 2019; new fuel tank in 2017; new wiring harness throughout in 2016; complete bodywork restoration and repainting in metallic Golden Beige paint (in a slightly stronger colour than the original) in 2015; new rear brake drums and shoes in 2014; new rear shock absorbers and new wire wheels in 2013. Earlier work also included a reconditioned overdrive and unleaded cylinder head, cylinder bores honed and new rings, new big end bearings, and stainless steel exhaust, and the 3000 has been serviced annually during the vendor’s ownership.Used widely while with the vendor touring the Outer Hebrides, Ireland, the Black Forest, Berlin, France, Switzerland, Holland, Denmark, and Sweden, with some 50,000 miles covered during the twenty-one years with the vendor. Offered with a large history file that includes the BMIHT Heritage Certificate, a vast selection of invoices for improvements and parts, a large collection of MOT certificates dating back to 1992, numerous photographs covering the bodywork restoration and repaint, breakdown of the improvement works completed while with the vendor, and a current V5C document, as well as two sets of keys, full weather gear in Black, and a no advisory MOT certificate until March 2025. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, this Healey is a very well-sorted example offered in an attractive colour scheme.

Registration No: UBD 904G Chassis No: 1R25234 MOT: T.B.AA time warp Series II Fixed Head Coupe, finished in eye-catching Primrose YellowMatching chassis and engine numbers, with all original panelworkA notably sharp exampleIntroduced in August 1968, the Series II version of Jaguar’s immortal E-Type sported redesigned bumpers and lights. Less noticeable was its enlarged front air intake which in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the newcomer better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc DOHC straight-six engine developing a quoted 265bhp/283lbft, the Jaguar was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. Available in open two-seater, fixed-head two-seater and fixed-head 2+2-seater guises, the American market accounted for the bulk of Series II production.Despatched to the USA during October 1968, this notably original Series II Fixed Head Coupe was first registered in San Jose, California some three months later. Finished in the striking combination of Pale Primrose Yellow with Black leather upholstery, the two-seater boasts ‘matching chassis and engine numbers’ not to mention ‘all its original panelwork’ (which would be nigh on unheard of for an E-Type domiciled on this side of The Pond). Warranted by the American father and son who owned it from new until 2020, the Jaguar’s odometer displays some 44,000 miles. Riding on chrome wire wheels shod with thin-band whitewall tyres, the fixed head coupe has been treated to a major service and full exterior repaint by Mr Finish of Bolton in recent years. Californian ‘Black Plate’ cars are rightly sought after due to their typically corrosion-free structures and thus high degree of authenticity in terms of factory panel gaps and shut lines. Featuring a timewarp interior, ‘UBD 904G’ has much to recommend it and is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, handbook, lifting jack and tools, the accompanying history file contains the USA title documents, plus the current UK V5C.

Registration No: OEJ 665 Chassis No: A-AV8/13582 MOT: ExemptThe subject of restoration work in recent yearsSome £4,500 of parts purchaseFront disc brake conversion and other uprgadesOriginal owner's manual and a collection of spare parts includedIntroduced in 1956, the Austin A35 could be had as a two- or four-door saloon, two-door Countryman estate or Van. The latter became a familiar sight the length and breadth of the UK serving tradesmen and delivery drivers alike. Powered by three different A-Series OHV four-cylinder engines during its twelve-year production life, the diminutive commercial was surprisingly fun to drive thanks to the provision of independent front suspension, a well-located hypoid rear axle and hydraulic drum brakes. With so many worked into the ground, survivors are comparatively few and far between.First registered in the UK on 9th October 1962 and destined for Evans Motors Limited, Camarthen and then likely, Lloyd Motors, Aberayron (dealer sticker on the car) for Thomas Davies of Treberfedd Farm, Lampeter, and just 1 former keeper is recorded on the V5C. Accompanied by a BMIHT certificate, in 2020, the owner has taken the time to put the van back on its original 1962 issued registration number ‘OEJ 665’, as recorded manually in a copy of a local authority ‘Record of Motor Vehicles’ on file.In recent years the van has been the subject of restoration work to bring the condition back to a usable and conserved condition. There are many invoices on file for parts purchased at a cost in excess of £4,500, many from ESM Morris Minors Ltd. In 2021 and 2022, amongst the items supplied: the front horseshoe, a new rear bumper, wheel bearings rocker and sump gaskets, rear chassis legs, poly bushes, rear hangers, back axle hub and pinion seal, gearbox front cover and a clutch kit. Additionally, work on the braking system included the rear brake frame cylinder assembly and a front disc brake conversion.The engine received new big ends and mains, pistons and rings, thrust bearings, oil and water pumps, a duplex timing chain, a spin-off oil filter conversion, alternator conversion, alloy radiator, leads, plugs, points, a reconditioned exchange unleaded cylinder head, fuel pump, pipes and SU carb filters. Body panels purchased from ESM included front and rear panels, kick and sill panels. Inside there is an aftermarket rev counter, map light and a modern radio unit. Accompanying the little van are a couple of period Austin books, collection of spares and a current V5C.

Registration No: LB52 TPO Chassis No: ZAMBC38C000009158 MOT: April 2025SALE ROOM NOTICE: Please note that this car has now been issued with a fresh MOT.Extensive history with the majority of receipts from Maserati and FerrariFitted with a new gearbox and clutch 10,000 miles agoSupplied in the attractive colour combination of Silver over Black Leather interiorJust as the DB7 did for Aston Martin, at a stroke the 3200 rejuvenated the Maserati brand. Unveiled at the 2002 Detroit Show, the 177mph Maserati Coupe (a.k.a. 4200 GT) was styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign. A direct evolution of the 3200 GT, the 4200 GT Coupe was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show in 2002 and was a genuine four-seater powered by a normally aspirated, Ferrari-based engine, of 390bhp. Developing 385bhp/332lbft, its 4244cc V8 engine was allied to a six-speed transmission that could be had in conventional manual or 'Cambiocorsa' guises (the latter incorporating electrohydraulic assistance and F1-style steering wheel paddles).First supplied to a Mr A Peters of Twickenham, LB52 TPO was sold by HR Owen of Kensington and PDI'd on the 27th February 2003. Supplied with a comprehensive service history, the Maserati was cared for initially by a number of main Ferrari and Maserati dealers and then by specialists GC Motors later on. Now displaying nine previous keepers on the V5C, and fitted with a new gearbox and clutch a mere 10,000 miles ago, the current vendor acquired the car in late 2023 and has performed works in ready for an MOT including new front upper and lower wishbone bushes and has advised that he intends to put the car through an MOT prior to sale in our Buxton auction. Described as being in 'good' overall condition for the age given that it now displays circa 114,000 miles from new, it presents an excellent opportunity to buy a well cared for Italian GT car with excellent provenance for less than the price of a new VW Polo.

Registration No: UOC 784 Chassis No: TS/13498 MOT: ExemptPreviously owned by Hero ERA as an 'arrive and drive' carFinished in British Racing Green over a Red InteriorOriginal UK Right Hand Drive SpecificationFitted with a number of modifications for rallying including a tuned engine and rally trip meterLacking a sportscar capable of competing with those of rivals MG and Jaguar, Standard-Triumph engaged in a hurried design and development programme that bore fruit in March 1953 with the display at the Geneva Motor Show of the prototype TR2. A couple of months later, the newcomer emphatically established its performance credentials when an overdrive-equipped prototype in touring trim ran at 114.9mph on the Jabbeke motorway in Belgium. Simply constructed, practical to own and offering 100mph-plus performance at a bargain price, the TR2 was an enormous success both at home and abroad, so it was only to be expected that its successor, the TR3, would represent evolution rather than revolution. Introduced in October 1955, the TR3 was indeed a little different from the preceding TR2. Changes to the Standard Vanguard-derived 2-litre engine boosted power from 90 to 95bhp, but the most obvious difference was the adoption of an ‘egg box’ radiator grille. The engine developed 100bhp courtesy of a new cylinder head by mid-1956; then in August, Girling front disc brakes and the stronger Phase III Vanguard rear axle were standardised.According to the British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate on file, 'UOC 784' is an original UK market, right-hand drive example that was originally supplied in British Racing Green on the 4th October 1956. Little is known of the early history of the car, however it is understood that a Mr Walsh of Finchley, London owned the car from around 1968 to the 1990s thanks to a copy of an original log book and a number of servicing receipts. Another two gentlemen acquired the car during the 1990s and embarked upon much mechanical and cosmetic rectification which was completed in the early 2000s for which there are a huge number of bills on file to demonstrate this. In 2018, the road-rallying organisers Hero Events purchased the car for their collection and had the car maintained by Maulden Garage Ltd, including upgrading the car mechanically plus the fitment of a rally trip meter. Having only completed 3,000 miles with Hero Events, the car was sold on via Hangar 136 to the current keeper in early 2023 who has used the car lightly for TR club events locally.Upon inspection, the sporty looking TR3 fired up easily and a throaty exhaust note was evident thanks to the rally spec. The vendor advises that mechanically the car is 'very good' with the only fault appearing to be a slightly spongey clutch master cylinder. He has also advised that cosmetically the car still presents as 'very good' with only minimal marks / chips due to age and use.Presenting the perfect opportunity for a prospective owner to use the car for historic rallying events, 'UOC 784' should surely be at the top of the list with its sympathetic upgrades and great provenance.

Registration No: S666 BJW Chassis No: WP0ZZZ98ZXS601360 MOT: March 202571,100 miles from new and 6 former keepersOffered with original owner wallet, handbook and service bookCollection of invoices and old MOT certificatesSubject to a new clutch and upgraded Bilstein dampers in current ownershipSupplied new by AFN Limited of SurreyThe Boxster was unveiled in late 1996 and was the first Porsche since the 550 Spyder to be designed from scratch as a Roadster. It was penned by Dutch designer Harm Lagaay, who was also primarily responsible for the 968, 993, Cayenne, 996 and Carrera GT. At launch it was 2.5-litres in capacity, but the standard offering was increased to 2.7-litres in 2000. The M96 engine related to that in the 996, and the newcomer also shared that car's bonnet, front wings and headlights. The suspension was independent all-round, braking by power-assisted ventilated discs and steering by rack and pinion.Supplied by AFN Limited in Surrey, this 986 Boxster 2.5 litre was first registered on the 24th June 1998. Presenting in the iconic and rare colour combination of Arena Red Metallic with the complementing Sahara Beige leather interior.Purchased by the current owner in September 2017, with c.50,000 miles, the odometer now displays 71,100 miles and the Boxster has benefitted from a new clutch, the main computer was replaced along with two new coded keys, four new ventilated and drilled discs, refurbished calipers and suspension components. The front and rear anti-roll bars and drop links were replaced, dampers upgraded to Bilstein units and all bushes replaced with Powerflex polypropylene. The original exhaust has been replaced with twin pipe units and the full coil pack replaced.Inside, there is a new aftermarket Sony radio unit, however, the original has been retained with the wiring intact, so that it could be put back for originality purposes. At some point, a new soft-top hood, with heated rear screen, was supplied and professionally fitted by Jasmine Porsche of Burnley. A new windscreen was fitted some 3 years ago due to stone chip breakage. This was the correct Porsche unit with an internal radio aerial and Green sun tint to the top section of the screen. At this point, the edge of the fitting area was checked and no corrosion was present. A new alarm control unit was fitted in 2015 A new battery was fitted some 2 years ago and a dedicated battery charger connection was fitted (no requirement for crocodile clips). Pirelli P7 tyres are fitted all round, with ‘a good tread depth present’.In March 2024 the car was taken for its MOT and a routine service, including oil and filter was carried out along with re-gassing of the air-conditioning more recently. The original owner’s wallet with handbook and service booklet is present and there is a collection of invoices and old MOT documentation. Offered with a current V5C.

Registration No: SNV 860G Chassis No: 1K4954DN MOT: February 2025In current ownership since 2007 and serviced annually during this timeDesirable manual gearbox example with overdrive, and is believed to pleasingly retain its original interiorJust 84,500 miles recorded on the odometer which is believed to be genuineOffered with a large history file including MOT history back to the 1970sBuilt from 1962 through to 1969, the Daimler 2.5 V8/V8 250 was the first car to be produced by the marque on the Jaguar platform, and the last Daimler to feature its own engine. As a derivative of the all-conquering MkII Jaguar although its fluted grille and more luxurious interior gave the car an air of exclusivity. Its name was drawn from its Edward Turner-designed engine - a lightweight, eight-cylinder 2,548cc V8 shared with the SP 250. Production continued until the manufacture of all MkII derivatives ceased in 1969, by which time some 17,620 of the Daimler version had been made, making it the best-selling car in Daimler’s history.Chassis 1K4954DN was manufactured in 1969 and is a home market car, being first registered in the United Kingdom on the 13th of March that year. A notably late example with the pretty single-blade bumper, this desirable four-speed manual transmission with overdrive V8-250 is finished in Sable paintwork and is believed to pleasingly retain its original interior, trimmed in Tan leather upholstery. Showing a recorded mileage of some 84,500 miles, this mileage is believed genuine with supporting evidence back to the mid-1970s. Purchased into the vendor's ownership in 2007, the V8-250 has been MOT’d and serviced annually while with the vendor and has been maintained by Heritage Car Company of Malton. Work completed by the Heritage Car Company most recently included a renovated brake system including a reconditioned brake servo and a new master cylinder in 2024; renewed points, condenser, coil, spark plugs, and wiring repairs in 2023; and new tyres provided in 2022.Covering some 12,000 miles while in the vendor's ownership, the Daimler has been used on several Daimler Owner's Club rallies including trips to Cornwall, Scotland, and The Netherlands. Offered with a large history file that includes MOT history back to the mid-1970s (and which illustrates very few advisories in recent years); a current MOT certificate without any advisories until February 2025; previous tax discs; a large collection of invoices; the original operations manual, price list, car colour guide, and sales literature; and a current V5C document showing just four former keepers.

Registration No: YD55 WBP Chassis No: JHMAP113055201812 MOT: April 2025Five owners from new, soft-top (replaced 2021) and hardtop roofs98,500 miles with corroborating service historySaid to be 'a lovely reliable car that is very exciting at 6,000rpm and above'Introduced in 1999, the S2000 was Honda’s fiftieth birthday present to itself. Developed with precious little input from the marketing department, the front-engined, rear-wheel drive Roadster featured all-round independent double-wishbone suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and a Torsen limited slip differential. Boasting the highest per litre output of any normally aspirated engine, its 2-litre DOHC inline four was allied to six-speed manual transmission. Variable valve timing gave the 240bhp powerplant a Jekyll and Hyde character which enthusiasts loved. Inspired by various McLaren-Honda F1 cars, the digital dashboard and prominent Red starter button added to the theatre. The S2000 was thoroughly revamped for 2004 with production switching to Suzuka. As well as recalibrated brakes and suspension plus larger 17-inch alloy wheels and assorted cosmetic changes, the ‘facelifted’ version incorporated a stiffer subframe and new gearbox internals etc. Weighing just 1,260kg, the two-seater was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.2 seconds and 150mph. More expensive than its Roadster sibling, the GT derivative came with a detachable hardtop in addition to its power soft-top. Of the 8,500 S2000s sold in the UK, some 6,300 are understood to remain. Finished in Moonrock Grey with a matching hardtop, Red soft-top and two-tone Black and Red leather upholstery, this UK-supplied, facelift S2000 GT entered the current (fifth) ownership in 2017. Warranted to have covered some 98,500 miles from new, ‘YD55 WBP’ is considered by the vendor to be in ‘good’ (interior trim, bodywork) or ‘very good’ (engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, paintwork) condition. Treated to a new hood in 2021, the Honda is summed-up as ‘a lovely, reliable car that pulls away at 2,000rpm and is very exciting at 6,000rpm and above’. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, stamped service book and fresh MOT certificate.

Registration No: FCH 880 Chassis No: B24WH MOT: ExemptSupplied new to Winston F. Martin Esq. of Healthguard Knitwear and reputedly later owned by the business tycoon Peter de SavaryPart of a private collection in recent years and employed for the occasional film and TV role including the Four Seasons mini-series (2008)Running and driving but in need of further mechanical recommissioning and a repaintWorthy of a return to its former gloryAn obvious evolution of its MKVI predecessor, the Bentley R-Type was introduced at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show. Switching from riveted to welded frame construction at chassis B349TO, the newcomer featured independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes (hydraulic front / rod rear). Powered by a 'big bore' 4566cc straight-six inlet-over-exhaust engine allied to either four-speed manual or automatic transmission, the R-type was a surprisingly strong performer, able to reach more than 100mph. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its high-speed handling and well-appointed interior, the model remained in production until 1955 by which time some 2,320 are thought to have been made (though, only 303 of those bore coachbuilt bodies). A decidedly rare motorcar, ‘FCH 880’ is understood to be one of just nine Bentley R-Type chassis to be clothed by Park Ward to its Design Number 552. A handsome four-seater Drophead Coupe with a power roof, well-resolved bustle boot and flowing wings, it was singularly expensive (especially when compared to a contemporary Aston Martin or Jaguar). Supplied new to Winston F. Martin Esq of the Healthguard Knitwear Company, the Bentley is thought to have spent time overseas before being re-registered with the DVLA during 1991. Further believed to have belonged to the noted collector and business tycoon Peter de Savary Esq, the R-Type entered the current family ownership some twenty-four years ago. Self-evidently the subject of much past restoration work, the Drophead Coupe helped earn its keep by appearing in the 2005 film ‘The Wedding Date’ and the 2008 TV mini-series ‘Four Seasons’. Showing just under 71,000 unwarranted miles to its odometer, ‘FCH 880’ appears to have covered less than 200 of those since last passing a MOT test. Laid-up in recent years, the Bentley has recently been recommissioned via the installation of a replacement starter motor. Although running and driving, it will doubtless require further mechanical work and servicing etc. Cosmetically, the Grey leather upholstery, wood veneers and soft-top are all in good order (albeit the power mechanism for the latter is not currently functioning). However, the plating has worn thin to the top of the radiator grille and the paintwork is heavily microblistered. A wonderful opportunity to acquire a scarce and very elegant coachbuilt R-Type for less than the price of a Special!

Registration No: G917 MUS Chassis No: WBAEC820308188374 MOT: NoneOffered with owner's wallet and stamped service bookRecently returned to the UK after residing in Spain for over 20 years134,400 recorded miles and just 3 former keepers recorded on HPI2 keysSuccessor to the race-proven (E9) 3.0 CS/CSi high-performance Sports Coupes, the 6-series was introduced in August 1976. More forgiving than its predecessors, it utilised a modified version of the (E12) 5-series saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension and powerful disc brakes. A natural rival to the 928 and XJS, the four-seater 6-series proved more capacious than the Porsche and sportier than the Jaguar. Immediately recognisable thanks to its distinctive 'shark nose' frontal styling and thin pillared glasshouse it boasts real road presence. In 1988, BMW introduced the Motorsport and Highline models as part of the E24 range, which further improved its overall performance. These specific models came equipped with a 3.5-litre (actually 3430cc), 220bhp six-cylinder engine (M30B35 code) and a luxurious leather interior. By the end of production in 1989, only 86,000 E24 models had been built. The E24 remains one of the most sought-after coupes from BMW.Supplied new by Harry Fairburn BMW Ltd., Glasgow, in August 1989 and recently returned to the UK after residing in Spain for over 20 years, here we have a 1989 example of the E24 635 CSi, believed to have been one of the last to be built and therefore one of the sought-after post-1988 Highline versions of the E24.Whilst the owner resided in Europe, the 635 CSi was placed on Spanish ‘H’ (‘Historic Vehicle’ plates), and to qualify, the vendor tells us ‘everything on the car has to be as per original as possible. For example, I had a stainless steel exhaust, perfectly sound, but had to replace with a stamped manufactured exhaust’. Utilising a second 635 CSi to act as a spare parts donor for wings etc.‘G917 MUS’ has previously been extensively stripped down, the wings replaced and given a bare metal respray. The car has original specification Michelin tyres, two being sourced from Belgium at a cost of £400. The vendor goes on, ‘the car was photographed from every angle and inspected by the Classic Car registration department in Spain, before they would give their approval for ‘H’ plate’.The current mileage displayed is c.134,400 miles and just 3 former keepers recorded on HPI. It is being offered with the owner's wallet, the service book with some 20 entries, copies of various Spanish shipping and Historic Vehicle documents, 2 keys and the original Harry Fairburn key fob and a current V5C document.
