Registration No: JJB 855D Chassis No: GHD382587 MOT: ExemptRHD 'home market' model, with manual transmissionNotably early Mk1 exampleRecently restored example with much expenditureOffered with a collection of invoicesIntroduced in May 1962, the monocoque MG B was a welcome progression from the body-on-frame T-Series and MG A models that preceded it. The more modern construction resulted in weight savings (the car turned the scales at 2028lb), reduced manufacturing costs, and notably tauter handling. Initially, the B was only available in Roadster form - the Pininfarina-penned hatchback GT derivative with 2+2 seating not being offered until October 1965. At launch, the model was powered by a three-bearing version of the 1798cc B-Series engine that produced 95bhp at 5,400rpm. However, this unit was replaced by a five-bearing unit two years into production. The MKII model of 1967 brought an updated manual gearbox with revised ratios and synchromesh on all gears, as well as the option of a Borg-Warner automatic unit. Other changes included a revised rear axle and a switch from dynamos to alternators. In 1969, Rostyle wheels replaced the previous pressed steel version for a standard fit. With the MKIII derivative of 1972 came a new fascia and improved heater. However, the biggest visual change in the car's history occurred two years later when steel-reinforced plastic bumpers replaced the chrome ones and the ride height was raised by one inch. By the time GT production ceased in 1980, a total of 125,282 are said to have been produced, a large proportion of which are still providing good service today.Manufactured in 1966, the second production year for the MGB GT, this B was supplied new to the home-market in right-hand-drive, being first registered in June that year. Fitted with the aforementioned 1798cc straight-four B-Series engine mated to the five-speed manual transmission, ‘JJB 855D’ is presented in the classic colour of British Racing Green with Black with Red piping interior upholstery and a Black Webasto roof. With a recorded mileage of 17,074 miles, which is understood to be 117,074 miles from new. Restored in 2020, the MG is offered with a large collection of invoices and a current V5C document.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: 'Very Good’ Engine: 'Good' Electrical Equipment: 'Good' Paintwork: ‘Very Good' Gearbox: 'Good' Interior Trim: 'Excellent'Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: G10 ALP Chassis No: VFAD5030500086051 MOT: December 2022One of just 68 UK-market Alpine A610sOnly four owners from new with current registered ownership since 2006Approximately 68,000 miles from newOffered with a history file including service book displaying over 20 service stampsManufactured by the Renault-owned French carmaker Alpine and was introduced in 1991 as a replacement for the outgoing Alpine GTA. Both cars used a fiberglass body on a steel backbone chassis with a rear-mounted engine, although only a few parts were interchangeable between them. Pop-up headlights, rear-engined and rear-wheel-drive layout complete the attributes for a 1990s sports car with power provided by the considerably more powerful turbocharged PRV V6, producing some 247 bhp. With just 68 UK-supplied, right-hand drive examples of the Alpine A610, they are undoubtedly a rare and desirable French sportscar worthy of closer inspection.Manufactured in 1995, this final production year example was registered new in the UK on the 14th of March 1995. Finished in Monza Red paintwork with Black leather interior upholstery, the Alpine has just three former keepers, residing in current registered custodianship since 2006. Having covered approximately 68,000 miles from new, with a documented speedometer change (a common occurrence with A610s), at 22,348 miles in April 2002. Benefitting from air-conditioning remediation work recently, the A610 is supplied with a history file comprising a stamped service book illustrating 24 stamps with many from both main dealer or Renault specialists, along with a selection of past MOTs certificates, two sets of keys, book pack and V5C document. Offered with a fresh MOT certificate with no advisories. Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: 834 YUKChassis No: 314394MOT: Exempt 1 of just 787 Pierce Arrow cars built during the 1936 model yearPowered by a 6.3 litre straight-eight engine allied to three-speed, all synchromesh manual transmissionReconfigured as a soft-top during the 1950s and laid-up the following decade in CaliforniaAcquired by its current registered keeper in 2003 and subject to an extensive restoration over the next fifteen or so years (his costs for buying and renovating the Pierce Arrow were reputedly £100,000 plus)Sympathetically uprated with a full-flow oil filtration system, Kenlowe fan and power steeringA rare, imposing and usable Post-Vintage Thoroughbred Among America’s great patrician marques, Pierce Arrow sold cars to the likes of: King Albert of Belgium, Mrs Andrew Carnegie, Charlie Chaplin, King C. Gillette, Baroness Roland de Graffenreid-Villars, Emperor Hirohito of Japan, J.D. Rockefeller, Ginger Rogers, Babe Ruth, King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia, The Shah of Persia, President Wm. Howard Taft, President Woodrow Wilson, Charles S. Woolworth, Mrs Sarah Winchester and Orville Wright. A merger with Studebaker in 1928 helped the Buffalo, New York-based firm through The Great Depression but a refusal to move downmarket ultimately sealed its demise a decade later. Renowned for its excellent engineering, Pierce Arrow stuck with separate chassis construction and sidevalve engines throughout. Although, such design conservatism did not prevent Ab Jenkins from averaging a record breaking 117.77mph for 24 hours aboard a Pierce Arrow Convertible in 1933; the same year that the company standardised hydraulic valve lifters and power assisted brakes.Thoroughly revamped for the 1936 model-year, the Pierce Arrow range sat atop a new ‘super frame’ that boasted no fewer than five crossmembers plus a large cruciform brace. Visually updated with a narrower radiator grille and quad headlamps, the straight-eight and V12 models on offer could be had with a choice of wheelbase lengths and open or closed coachwork. Priced at $3,195 which was roughly twice the cost of a Cadillac Series 60 or over five times the cost of a Ford V8, the Pierce Arrow Model 1601 was powered by a 385 cu in (6.3 litre), 150hp straight-eight engine allied to three-speed synchromesh manual transmission complete with automatic overdrive and freewheeling. Marketed as ‘America’s finest motor car for America’s finest families’, Pierce Arrow sold just 787 cars during 1936.According to a handwritten note on file, previous owner James D. Olson maintained that chassis 314394 acquired its current Roadster coachwork during 1956 courtesy of Marmom Automobiles of South Pasadena, California. Reputedly laid-up the following decade, the Pierce Arrow remained in the Golden State until being imported to the UK during September 2003. Acquired by its current registered keeper not long thereafter, he is understood to have spent some fifteen years and over £100,000 (including the purchase price) bringing the Model 1601 up to its current condition. As well as reportedly receiving attention to its engine, gearbox, axles, running gear, chassis, electrics and interior trim, ‘834 YUK’ has been sympathetically uprated with a Kenlowe fan, full flow oil filter and power steering. Much of the engine work was carried out by the respected Bedfordshire firm Mass Racing Ltd, while D.S. Thompsett of Cambridgeshire renewed the leather upholstery, weather gear (hood, sidescreens) and carpets etc. Valued for insurance purposes at £80,000 just last year, this rare Post Vintage Thoroughbred is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: VN02 HLZ Chassis No: SARRDWBKC2D604849 MOT: November 2022Only c.47,600 miles from newJust four former keepers with current registered ownership since 2018Offered with original stamped service bookSupplied new via Stour Valley Rover and still fitted with the original dealer registration platesA modern classic offered without reserveWith a strong following as a modern classic, the MG Fs and TFs featured a mid-mounted 1.6-litre or 1.8-litre engine and arguably handle better than the highly regarded Mazda MX5. The second-generation MG TF changed from the earlier car’s complex Hydragas suspension, in favour of coil springs. Various cosmetic changes occurred with the Mk.IIs launch including a revised grille, redesigned front headlights, bumpers, side air-intake grills, rear boot, etc. Production was suspended in April 2005, when MG Rover collapsed but not before 39,249 Mk.II MG TFs were built from 2002 onwards. Great value for money and an ideal entry into the world of classic cars.Manufactured in 2002, this TF was supplied via Stour Valley Rover being first registered in the UK on the 17th of May that year. Fitted with the aforementioned 1796cc straight-four K-Series engine mated to the five-speed manual transmission and finished in Silver with Black and Grey interior upholstery and a Grey hood, the MG has covered just 47,631 miles (at time of consignment) at the hands of four former keepers. Retained in current registered ownership since 2018, ‘VN02 HLZ’ is accompanied by the original owner's handbook and stamped service book displaying six stamps up to 36,617 miles. Pleasing retaining the original dealer number plates, the MG is further offered with a small number of past MOT certificates and MOT history, a no advisory MOT until November 2022 and V5C document.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: M416 VDOChassis No: SAJNX2742SC221818MOT: August 202256,900 recorded miles and understood to be low ownershipOffered with bookpack, handbooks and passport to serviceLHD and repatriated from the USA in 2019Finished in Midnight Blue Pearl with a Tan interiorSubject to an oil and filter change in 2019 plus the A/C re-gassedOffered with a collection of invoices and US Carfax reportLaunched in September 1975 as a replacement for the E-Type, the XJS could only cheat time for so long and, in 1991, parent company Ford thoroughly reworked the luxury Grand Tourer at a cost of £50 million. Incorporating some 40 percent new panels, the rejuvenated model range sported a revised grille, headlamps, tail-lights, bumpers and rear wings. Its cabin, meanwhile, gained a new walnut facia and improved sports seats. The new version was powered by either a punchy straight-six (3980cc) or a soporific V12 (5343cc) engine; the former DOHC unit developed some 223bhp and 283lbft of torque. Featuring a five-speed manual transmission as standard, the 4.0-litre XJS could also be had with a four-speed automatic gearbox. Capable of over 140mph, the model proved to be a refined and relaxing drive, and production continued until 1996.Condition report: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Registration: YL05 YNJChassis No: SCFAC01A45GA03361MOT: January 2022Aston Martin DB9 presented in Titanium Silver with Falcon Grey and Obsidian Black interiorOffered with just c.25,000 miles from new and 4 former keepersBoasts specification including parking sensors, 19 inch 15 spoke wheels, desirable Michelin Pilot Sports 4S tyres and serviced in August this year First shown by Aston Martin at the 2003 Frankfurt Auto Show. Available both in coupé and a convertible bodystyles, the latter being known as the Volante, the DB9 was the successor of the DB7 and was the first car to be built in Aston Martin’s new factory at Gaydon in Warwickshire. The new car was considered to be such an advance on the old that Aston Martin had decided a straightforward sequential numbering would be considered inappropriate, hence why it was not titled DB8. Its bodyshell weighed 25 per cent less yet had twice the torsional rigidity, thanks to its aluminium bonnet, roof and rear wings and composite construction front wings and boot lid. The vehicle was powered by the 5.9-litre V12 used in the Vanquish, which generated 450hp, propelled the car from 0 to 60mph in 4.7 seconds and generated a top speed of 186mph. The engine largely sat behind the front-axle line to improve weight distribution, and its great handling resulted in the DB9 being adapted for use in sports car racing by Aston Martin Racing, a collaboration between Aston Martin and Prodrive. Called the DBR9, the car won in its debut at the 2005 12 Hours of Sebring, and has gone on to take wins in the American Le Mans Series, Le Mans Series, FIA GT Championship, as well as the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Indisputably one of the most beautiful cars ever designed, BBC Top Gear gave the DB9 its own section on their ‘Cool Wall’ after Jeremy Clarkson declared that it was too cool even to be classified as "Sub-Zero". Manufactured in 2005 and presented in the desirable Titanium Silver with Falcon Grey and Obsidian Black interior, YL05 YNJ is offered with just c.25,000 miles from new and shows 4 former keepers on the V5 document. Boasting factory options including piano black waterfall, heated front screen, parking sensors and 19 inch 15 spoke wheels, as well as desirable Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres, YL05 YNJ was recently subject to a healthcare check at HR Owen Aston Martin Cheltenham and comes accompanied with the original logbook containing 8 Aston Martin main dealer stamps, with the most recent in August 2021. The vehicle also comes accompanied with a number of receipts and invoices, as well as an MOT certificate valid until 17 January 2022. The vendor rates the condition of the vehicle as Very Good all round. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has a slight vibration under braking and is showing an emissions service light on the dashboard.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Andreas Hicksandreas.hicks@handh.co.uk07943584762

Registration No: Un-RegChassis No: HDC26/1235MOT: ExemptMG TF 1250cc chassis, engine and gearboxA rare survivor and potentially a rewarding winter projectMatching chassis and engine numbersPreviously dry stored for over 40 yearsBased in the town of the same name on the Isle of Man’s west coast, the Peel Engineering Company established itself as a manufacturer of fibreglass boats and motorcycle fairings before branching out into sports car bodies during the early 1950s. The company’s first foray was commendably lightweight (c.56lbs) but not self-supporting. The P1000 which followed was altogether more sophisticated. A bolt-on entity, it featured integral wheelarches, instrument panel, door pillars and double-moulded doors etc. Priced at £75 ex works, the roadster body was designed to sit atop a 7ft 6in wheelbase chassis and thus offered customers the opportunity to transform a tired pre-WW2 Morris or Ford saloon into a handsome sports car (although, some are known to have used a MG A as a donor). The P1000 was so accomplished that Ford approached Peel to supply them with fibreglass bodies for a proposed sports car project; a sort of Dagenham-made, scaled down Chevrolet Corvette if you will. However, the Isle of Man government put pay to the idea by refusing Peel planning permission to enlarge its production facilities. Peel subsequently became a manufacturer in its own right, the P50 achieving fame as the world’s smallest production car. However, the P1000 remains arguably its most attractive creation.Recently emerged from long-term storage, this Peel P1000 sports body sits atop a MG TF chassis that pleasingly retains its original 1250cc XPAG engine (and thus has the potential to be a better performer than many Ford sidevalve-engined Specials). Although, not currently registered with the DVLA, the two-seater sports a ‘WTA 220’ front number plate which would have been first issued in Devon. A potentially rewarding winter project, this handsome Peel P1000-bodied Special comes with a quantity of paperwork relating to its MG donor chassis.

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 in 1971 and first registered in the UK in August that year, the MGB is fitted with the aforementioned 1798cc straight-four B-Series engine mated to the four-speed manual transmission. Finished in Maroon with Black interior upholstery and hood, the MG is accompanied by a scarce hard-top finished in Black and is showing c.82,500 recorded miles. Last on the road in approximately 2008, ‘HLR 43K’ has been in dry storage since then and while the MGB is running, it will require restoration/recommissioning before road use. Offered with a current V5C document.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: NNT 586W Chassis No: T4DCYAL314800 MOT: ExemptSupplied new to the city of Aachen in GermanyImported to the United Kingdom in 2015 and just one UK keeperAccompanied by a Sunbeam Lotus Owners Club Dating CertificateRestored by the late-vendor for the use in historic rallyingEarly A-Series exampleThe Talbot Sunbeam-Lotus was one of the most exciting hot-hatches to come out of the 1970s. Commissioned by Chrysler, Lotus was tasked with producing an effective entrant for international Group 4 rallying - to attempt to beat the dominant Ford Escort RS’s. Lotus utilised a 1.6 GLS shell and installed a 2.2-litre version of their 16-valve four-cylinder engine (the 'Type 911', a close relative to the Type 912 found in S2 and S3 Esprits) which was mated to a 5-speed ZF gearbox. Offered only in Black and Silver initially, they launched in 1979, with the high-compression 2174cc twin-cam engine breathed through two twin-choke Dell'Orto carburettors.Developing 150bhp, the twin-cam engine was very tuneable (up to over 200bhp) for rally use and being rear-wheel drive and weighing only 960kgs, could reach 0-60mph in just 6.6 seconds. The design by Lotus didn’t stop at the engine only however, with the suspension and exhaust system being Lotus’ designs. Immediately proving extremely effective on the international rally stage, the Sunbeam-Lotus finished 1st, 3rd and 4th at the 1980 Lombard-RAC rally, Britain's round of the World Rally Championship. In 1981, the Sunbeam Lotus brought the entire manufacturer's championship to Talbot.Chassis number T4DCYAL314800 was manufactured in the Linwood plant being finalised on the 6th of March 1980 according to the accompanying Sunbeam Lotus Owners Club Dating Certificate and is understood to have been supplied new to the German city of Aachen in left-hand-drive configuration. Fitted with the aforementioned 2172cc Lotus Type 911 16-valve engine mated to the five-speed ZF manual gearbox, the Sunbeam-Lotus is still finished in the original Embassy Black (albeit without the Grey stripe). Originally fitted with the Grey cloth Lotus interior upholstery, ‘NNT 586W’ now features a rally prepared interior including Sparco seats, roll-cage and Brantz rally meters.Remaining on the continent until being imported into the United Kingdom in 2015 by the late-vendor, the Talbot-Lotus was retained by him until being offered today, making just one UK keeper to date. The late-vendor, a rally enthusiast and participant, uprated the Talbot-Lotus for use in historic rallying. Restored by him for competing in said historic rallies and competing on a few occasions in events (including as pictured with him at the helm), the Talbot-Lotus entered into dry storage following the vendors passing approximately two years ago until around six weeks previous. Benefitting from mechanical fettling so the Lotus would run and drive, ‘NNT 586W’ is likely to still require some further recommissioning following the period in storage.Offered with a history file comprising documents regarding the importation and registration; a selection of German paperwork; a few past MOT certificates; the aforesaid Sunbeam Lotus Owners Club Dating Certificate; Dastek Dynamometers report from 2016 and a current V5C document. Interested parties should note that while being registered with the DVLA post-importation to the United Kingdom, the Talbot-Lotus has been registered to state the vehicle service number rather than the chassis number. Furthermore, since the catalogue went to press we have been contacted by the Membership Secretary / Treasurer of the Sunbeam Lotus Owners Club to say that the SLOC Dating Certificate on file was issued in response to a written request and not as the result of a first hand, physical inspection by a SLOC Official.Please Note: The five spare alloys, spare differential and ten spare tyres are in storage in Buxton but are not present at the venue.Footnote: PLEASE NOTE: The late owner of this lot imported it from Europe as a restoration project in 2015. He subsequently obtained a Dating Certificate from the Sunbeam Lotus Owners’ Club which included the following information (our addition in italics):‘This vehicle has been inspected (from owner supplied photographs) by the undersigned and verified that the original VIN and Service ID tags are present. The chassis number has been re-stamped on the bonnet slam panel; it bears the hallmarks of being a genuine stamp by the Talbot agent in Germany as a result of the car being prepared for competition by them and the original stamp being obscured by the strengthening process’.On the basis that the car has been (a) used for competition, (b) prepared as such and (c) extensively restored, we do not know whether it retains its original bodyshell or not.

Though the newcomer was primarily aimed at owner drivers, many examples were nevertheless sold to customers with chauffeurs. Power came from an enlarged version of the straight-six unit used in the 20hp. Now of 3,699cc, it made for swifter acceleration and a higher top speed of up to 75mph. Bodywork for the 20/25, was to the taste of each individual customer, and Freestone & Webb, Gurney Nutting, Park Ward, Thrupp & Maberly, Mulliner and Hooper were among the many coachbuilders selected to clothe these fine motorcars. Nearly 4,000 20/25 chassis were ultimately produced, making it the company’s best-selling model between the wars.Supplied new to a Mr E B Harvey and understood to have been fitted with electric clock and spring steering wheel from the factory, this 20/25 carries Park Ward coachwork and was first registered as 'GX 8868'. Said to be “very' original”, GBT 47 has been in the current family ownership since c.1968 and registers c.70,000 miles. Purchased in driveable condition with a cracked cylinder head from a scrapyard near Barking by the vendor’s father, the car has not been driven since he collected it. A true garage find that has been in dry storage for over 50 years it is accompanied by a brown logbook. The vendor advises upon the sale the successful purchaser will be able to collect a collection of spares that are included in the sale and also view the spare engine, gearbox, and axles that are available by separate negotiation.Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Built with a mind to provide an active alternative to the Porsche Boxster in America, it utilised rear-wheel drive and six-cylinder engines almost throughout the range (although there was a four-cylinder 2.0i version in Europe). Compared to the Z3, the Z4’s body dimensions were larger and its wheelbase was longer and wider. The suspension was also upgraded to be stiffer and the car was equipped with a sport package that firmed up the steering. Some of the Z4’s elements were borrowed from the BMW’s 3 series such as the multilink suspension which was more advanced than the one used for the BMW Z3.Manufactured in 2004, the Z4 was supplied new to the UK and first registered on the 15th of December that year. Fitted with the 2494cc straight-six engine mated to the desirable five-speed manual transmission and is finished in Blue Metallic with Black interior upholstery and a Grey hood. Having covered just c.74,000 miles (at time of consignment) at the hands of five former keepers, ‘RA54 WYR’ has been retained in current registered ownership since 2016. Offered with a stamped service book displaying nine stamps from BMW, specialists and others, with the Z4 being recently serviced at approximately 73,800 miles (in November 2021) and a current V5C document, the BMW is rated by the vendor as ‘very good’ throughout.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: 'Very Good’ Engine: 'Very Good' Electrical Equipment: 'Very Good' Paintwork: ‘Very Good' Gearbox: 'Very Good' Interior Trim: 'Very Good'Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Sixty-six years of production, over 21 million examples manufactured, factories on five continents, etc. The statistics are as staggering as the car's history. In 1933, Ferdinand Porsche was instructed to design and develop a 'Volkswagen' (people's car) that was basic, affordable, and capable of transporting two adults and three children at up to 100 kph. The newcomer finally went into production in 1938 and, while it inevitably evolved over the years, the basic concept was never altered - an enduring tribute to the genius of Dr. Porsche.This right-hand drive Beetle 1300 was manufactured in 1971 and first registered in the UK in November that year. Fitted with the 1285cc straight-four engine with the four-speed manual transmission, the Beetle is finished in Green with Cream vinyl interior upholstery. Entering into the current (long-term) registered family ownership in 2003, ‘CHA 793K’ has just three registered owners on HPI, with a recorded mileage of approximately 51,000 miles which is believed to be genuine. Dry-stored for the past couple of years, the Beetle is running but will require some recommissioning before road use and is offered with a current V5C document.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Its name was drawn from its engine - a lightweight, eight-cylinder one of 2,548cc shared with the Dart. This was mated to a Borg Warner three-speed automatic or four-speed manual gearbox. Production continued until manufacture of all MKII derivatives ceased in 1969, by which time some 17,620 of the Daimler version had been made.Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Prompted by the success of similar moves with their passenger cars, Volkswagen had toyed with the idea of replacing their air-cooled, rear-engined T2 vans with a front-engined, water-cooled design as early as the 1970s. While the reasoning behind deciding to introduce the T3 as a rear-engined model is unclear, it was the T4 that pioneered Volskwagen’s front-engined vans. After a run of nearly 14 years, the T4 ceased production in 2003, making it second only to the T1 for length of production in its home market.Manufactured in 1994, this T4 was first registered in the United Kingdom on the 22nd of June that year and is fitted with the 1896cc straight-four OHC diesel engine mated to the six-speed automatic transmission. Finished in the striking colour combination of Deep Impact Blue Metallic with Black features along with Black leather interior upholstery and Grey rear flooring. ‘L593 JHD’ has covered approximately 125,600 miles from new and has had only one former keeper.Recently restored (between 2020 and 2021), the Volkswagen has been subject to much expenditure with new parts including new belts; exhaust; brakes master cylinder; track rod ends; alloy wheels, as well as an interior refresh and insulation with ply-lined rear and Bluetooth stereo, a full service and undersealing. ‘L593 JHD’ is offered with a history file that includes a large collection of invoices and a current V5C document.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: 'Very Good’ Engine: 'Very Good' Electrical Equipment: 'Very Good' Paintwork: ‘Very Good' Gearbox: 'Very Good' Interior Trim: 'Very Good'Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Known as the 2½ litre or Consort, it was available in a variety of open and closed guises (though, most were bodied as four-door saloons). Foursome Drophead Coupe designs were produced by both Tickford and Barker, while the latter coachbuilder was also responsible for a more rakish Special Sports derivative. Powered by a six-cylinder OHV engine of 2522cc, the DB18 could reach 50mph in 17.9 seconds and some 76mph flat out.

The model's distinctive engine note stems from its four-cylinder `boxer' engine that has good inherent balance and makes for a low centre of gravity. The basis of the performance models has been the four-wheel drive, turbocharged WRX. In the late `80s, Subaru formed a division specifically to co-ordinate its motorsport activities; not least its assault on the FIA World Rally Championship. Dubbed Subaru Tecnica International (STI), it went on to create high-performance road-going derivatives of the WRX model.

Registration No: 982 UYYChassis No: 12110425500239MOT: Exempt1 of just 1,727 examples made during 1955, the first year of productionOffered with owner's manual and parts catalogueSubject to a respray and mechanical fettling over the past three yearsPotentially Mille Miglia Storica eligible The 190SL was introduced in 1955 – the year Mercedes swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300SLR. Indeed, the graceful, new two-door, convertible grand tourer was sold alongside the road-going version of the SLR – the 300SL - whose styling it strongly resembled. In fact, the underpinnings of the two cars were quite different and, while the 300SL had a purpose-built tubular spaceframe (W198), its smaller sibling was built on a shortened version of the ‘Ponton’ saloon (W121) platform, which was of monocoque construction. The 190SL also boasted an all-new engine - an over-square SOHC straight-four unit of 1897cc that produced some 120bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car to a maximum speed of 112mph. The engine was coupled to a manual four-speed gearbox. The suspension comprised double wishbones and coil springs at the front and a coil-sprung swing axle at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball and braking by power-assisted drums all round. Built to the highest standards and among the quickest comparable cars of the time, the 190SL featured a well-appointed cockpit, notable comfort for its occupants and relatively generous luggage space. Under the circumstances, even the steep asking price of £2,693 did nothing to deter purchasers. Options included a third seat placed transversely behind the front ones which was big enough to carry an adult. The 190SL continued in production until 1963, when both it and the 300SL were replaced by the 230SL (W113). By this time 25,881 190SLs had been produced (just over two percent of which – some 562 cars - were to right-hand drive specification).According to a letter on file from the Homologation Department of Mercedes-Benz Cars UK Ltd, chassis 121042-55-00239 was built in August 1955 to left-hand drive specification and supplied new to America. An Ohio resident for many years, the 190SL was imported to the UK and registered in the vendor’s name during February 2018. Much improved over the last three years, the two-seater has been repainted in Grey Metallic and had attention paid to its cylinder head gasket, seals and heater etc. Treated to a full service and partial brake system overhaul by Wilson Healy Automobile Engineering Ltd of Southport in February 2021, ‘982 UYY’ had its starter motor overhauled just last month.Starting readily upon inspection and sporting an appealing, gently patinated interior complemented by a smart Beige soft-top, this decidedly handsome – and notably early – 190SL is potentially eligible for the prestigious Mille Miglia Storica. Offered for sale with copy State of Ohio title document, V5C Registration Document, Mercedes-Benz Cars UK Ltd letter, reprinted owner’s manual and Catalog C parts book.Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Crisply styled, its smooth flowing lines and Kamm tail hid a cruciform-braced chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, disc/drum brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by a refined 2498cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed plus overdrive manual transmission, it was deceptively fast with contemporary road testers recording 0-60mph in 8.2 seconds and a 121mph top speed. Writing in 1969, Autocar magazine went as far as to comment that "Even if the Austin-Healey 3000 had not been dropped, the TR6 would have taken over as the he-man's sports car in its own right".Manufactured in 1971, this TR6 is understood to have been exported when new to a left-hand-drive market. Fitted with the aforementioned 2.5-litre straight-six engine fed by twin-carburettors and mated to the four-speed manual transmission, the Triumph was repatriated in approximately 1990. Provided with a comprehensive restoration shortly after its return to the United Kingdom, this included a full respray in Green, as presented today. Residing in current ownership since 2009, the Triumph has been fitted with wire wheels shod with Pirelli P6000 tyres all-round as well as an attractive, aftermarket wood-rimmed steering wheel. With a recorded mileage of 94,832 miles (at time of consignment), ‘SVN 773K’ is offered with a current V5C document.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Available in only red or yellow, this first Sprite also had black bumpers, fixed rear windows and the full instrumentation from the 1275 GT on its side. The 1990s Rover Mini Sprite revived the name and usurped the old ‘City' designation. From its spring 1992 introduction, each Sprite was fitted with a carburettor-fed 50bhp version of the 1275cc motor and had an open-loop catalytic converter. Black wheel arches and grille frontage were teamed with chrome bumpers and standard-fit 12-inch steel wheels on the front disc-braked car. A Sprite script decal was applied to each rear three-quarter panel below the side windows. The model was deleted late in 1996 at the introduction of the `front radiator series of Minis.Manufactured in 1993, the Sprite was supplied new via Windsor’s Limited of Wallasey, Merseyside to its first lady owner. Fitted with the aforementioned 1275cc straight-four A-Series engine with the four-speed manual transmission, the Mini is finished in Red with Grey cloth interior upholstery. Retained by the first owner from 1995 until 2011, the Mini has had three former keepers with current registered ownership since 2015 and has covered a mere 22,493 miles (at time of consignment) from new in the hands of said keepers. Fitted with a new exhaust in 2015 with very minimal mileage since, ‘N210 CFY’ is offered with a history file that includes the original handbook and stamped service book displaying six entries and presented in the original Rover wallet as well as a small collection of invoices, MOT history, current V5C and a copy of a previous logbook.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

An initial single-cylinder design was soon joined by two- and four-cylinder models. Marketed as ‘The Beau Brummel of the Road’, the 1905 model-year Yale Model G was further described in advertisements as: ‘A gallant little car with ample accommodation for four and even five; that isn’t afraid to take a hill at high speed, and one that lets you down lightly and gently over the roughest roads and deepest ruts’.Powered by a circa 2.6 litre horizontally opposed, twin-cylinder engine allied to two-speed planetary transmission, the Model G was priced at $1,100 or getting on for twice the cost of a Curved Dash Oldsmobile. Like many ‘brass era’ cars, the Yale featured a ladder frame chassis, leaf-sprung suspension, worm gear steering, chain drive and rear wheel brakes. Though, it also boasted such niceties as a centrifugal water pump and ‘jump spark’ ignition. Sources differ but many suggest that Yale production only lasted from 1902 – 1905 making survivors a real rarity today.Entered from a private collection of Veteran and Vintage motorcars, ‘DS 6649’ was issued with an ‘Events Passport’ by the Veteran Car Company Ltd in January 2016. That same year saw the vendor commission a new crankshaft from Farndon Engineering. Potentially eligible for a number of VCC events and benefiting from the installation of an electric starter motor, this imposing Edwardian Tourer is offered for sale with a V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.

It was the first non-all-terrain production car equipped with four-wheel drive preceding the renowned and successful Audi Quattro and Subaru’s of many years later and featured an anti-lock braking system, the Dunlop Maxaret mechanical system, used hitherto only on aircraft, trucks, and racing cars. The letters FF stand for Ferguson Formula after Ferguson Research Limited who invented the car's system. Similar-looking to the rear-wheel-drive Jensen Interceptor but five inches longer and mechanically very different, it is distinguishable from the Interceptor by a few styling cues; the most obvious being the twin (rather than single) diagonal air vents on the front wing just rear of the wheel-arches.Manufactured in 1970, ‘BGK 47H’ is one of just 107 FF II’s manufactured and is fitted with the 6276cc V8 engine mated to the three-speed automatic transmission. Entering into current ownership in 2002 as a restoration project, the Jensen had resided in the previous custodianship for approximately twenty years beforehand. Stripped down for some bodywork repairs, the Jensen has been stored for many years since and is now a scarcely offered example ready for restoration. Thought to be mostly complete (although the bonnet, lights and badges are known to be missing), ‘BGK 47H’ is accompanied for sale by a blue V5C document.

Entering production the following year, the newcomer could be had as a Berlina, Torpedo, Cabriolet, Spider, Coupe or Coupe Royal. Powered by an advanced 990cc SOHC four-cylinder engine allied to three-speed manual transmission, the 509 evolved into the 509A during 1926 gaining an improved carburettor, better tyres and further bodywork choices. Fiat offered a number of sporting 509 derivatives but it was a pair of humble 509A Berlinas which claimed the first two places on the 1928 Monte Carlo Rally. A strong seller in its native Italy and throughout Europe, over 90,000 509s and 509As had been made by the time production ceased in 1929.Finished in Red over Black with Grey cloth upholstery, this particular right-hand drive example was bought by the vendor's father whilst he was on holiday in the Canary Islands. Sporting an under-bonnet supplier’s plaque for Antonio Rodriguez Morales of Tafira, Las Palmas, the Fiat appears to pleasingly retain its original factory-fitted engine. Entered from a private collection of Veteran and Vintage motorcars, ‘BF 6682’ is said to be in ‘running order’. A rare and appealing Vintage Saloon, this elegant Fiat 509A Berlina is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document.Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Registration No: 244 YUUChassis No: 3276915MOT: ExemptGenuine Gordini presented in Silver Green with contrasting red interiorSubject to extensive works since 2019 including engine overhaul and moreRacing history including participation in the ‘Rally 4 Regioni’ in 2011 before coming to the UK Introduced in March 1956 the Dauphine was revolutionary in the world of popular 5CV. The only inclusion from the 4CV were the wheels with five nuts and a few mechanical elements. The small family sector was a bestselling market in France at the time, and the Dauphine was quick to gain a large market share. However the Renault Dauphine’s appeal saw it sell well in countries beyond its French homeland, selling more than two million in the 11-year production run. The engine was still mounted at the rear, a habit of Renault at the time, with a 845cc straight-four engine which allowed a maximum speed of 110km per hour.Since the 1950s, Amédée Gordini, known as ‘Le Sorcier’ for his almost magical ability to extract high power outputs from engines has been synonymous with performance versions of Renault saloons. In the late 1950s/early 1960s, competition tuned Dauphines did exceptionally well in many forms of motor sport. Their rallying victories were numerous and indeed, a Dauphine was the first car ever to win outright the three most important rallies of the day; the Tulip Rally (1957), the Monte Carlo Rally (1958) and the Alpine Rally (1959) while also enjoying considerable great success on the track. For several seasons the Dauphine dominated national 1,000cc classes around the world, carrying off overall and class victories in such events as the Mille Miglia, 12 Hours of Sebring and Tour de France.Manufactured in 1960 and presented in Silver Green with contrasting red interior, this A610 Dauphine Gordini has been confirmed by the UK Alpine Club as a genuine Gordini, designated R1091 car. 244 YUU spent much of its life in Italy, where it participated in the ‘Rally 4 Regioni’ in 2011 amongst many other events before coming to the UK in 2013, where it was subsequently subject to much recommissioning work.More recently, since 2019 the car has benefited from further extensive works including an overhauled block and pistons, overhauled head with specially made valve seats, guides and replacement valves, replacement wheel cylinders, drums and shoes, water pump, fuel pump, alternator with 12v conversion, exhaust, battery and distributor overhaul with replacement plugs and an oil service for good measure. In addition, 244 YUU also received replacement door and window seals, front carpet and rubber floor mats, replacement wheels and tyres, period roof rack and further assorted finishing accessories including pipes, rear grille mesh, rear side vent, hub caps and more. The vendor states that although the car has received a replacement Solex Carburettor, it would benefit from a smaller carburettor and could also benefit from an interior fettle. Fitted with a 670-05 type 850cc motor and ‘Loved by all that see it’ 244 YUU comes accompanied with a number of invoices, the V5 document as well as a copy of the French registration document. The vendor rates the condition of the interior trim as ‘Good’, with the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork and transmission as ‘Very Good’.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Andreas Hicksandreas.hicks@handh.co.uk07943584762

Trials revealed poor handling, however, and the design was not progressed and the new, much improved TR2 was launched the following year. Its two-seater body was mounted on a substantial separate chassis, while suspension was independent by coil springs at the front and live axle hung on leaf springs at the rear. The TR3 of 1955 was a direct evolution of the TR2. With it came minor styling revisions, a slight hike in power and the options of an occasional rear seat and bolt-on steel hard top. In 1956 the front brakes were changed from drum to disc units. The final iteration, the TR3A, appeared in 1957. It was instantly recognisable by its wider front grille, exterior door handles and lockable boot handle. It continued in production until 1962, by which time 58,236 are said to have been built. Contemporary road tests achieved 0-60mph acceleration times of some 11.5 seconds and a mean top speed of a whisker under 110mph.Finished in Red with Black upholstery and a Black hood, this very smart TR3A has been in the current family ownership since c.1975 and is believed to have covered 99,200 miles from new. Subject to an extensive restoration which was completed in 2009, the accompanying paperwork indicates that all areas were addressed including the engine, gearbox, axle, body tub, panels, suspension, brakes, interior and weather equipment not to mention the fitment of Minilite-style alloy wheels. Offered with pre- and post-restoration photographs, collection of club magazines, original owner’s manual, old MOT’s back to 1991 at 98,346 and a large collection of invoices and job sheets.

An upmarket range with superior performance and price tag to match, the 8 Series was designed to be a standalone premium model although seen to be the successor to the 6 Series. The 8 Series was offered in 830i, 840Ci and 850i/Ci form and, when introduced in mid-1993, it was fitted with a 4 litre, V8 engine mated to either a five-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission. Producing a very healthy 282bhp, this version could achieve the 0-62mph sprint in an impressive 6.9 seconds; importantly with the naturally aspirated V8, acceleration was effortless and refined. Over $1 billion dollars are said to have been spent on the car's design with CAD design and wind tunnel technology. From mid-1995, production phased in the newer 4.4 litre M62B44 engine, the 4.4 Sport offered a better driving experience with considerably more torque.Manufactured in 1997, this 840 CI Sport was UK-supplied when new having been ordered for ‘Dealer Own-Use’ by Sytner Nottingham. Fitted with the aforementioned 4398cc V8 engine mated to the automatic transmission, ‘V374 GAW’ was ordered new in the special-order colour of Dakar Yellow II (one of just 38 E31’s understood to have been finished in this colour) with matching special-order Black with Yellow piped interior upholstery.

Weighing just 1,070kg it also had perfect weight distribution with ride and handling honed by Lotus (aided by development driver Dan Gurney). The race car feel continued with a short-throw gearchange, razor-sharp throttle control and immediate, darting response to steering input. The result was a blisteringly intense driving experience that would be instantly familiar to a Porsche 911 or Ferrari F355 driver – yet at a fraction of the price. With origami-inspired folded angular lines, it also looked great and was immensely strong with no fewer than five bulkheads between the different compartments. Good ones are becoming increasingly collectable today.This right-hand drive Mk1 MR2 was supplied new to the UK being first registered on the 1st of February 1990. Fitted with the aforementioned 1587cc four-cylinder engine mated the five-speed manual transmission, the Toyota is finished in White with Black cloth interior upholstery. With just three former keepers, ‘G78 UYX’ has a recorded mileage of 124,655 miles (at time of consignment). Benefitting from a service in October 2021, the cambelt has also been replaced less than 1,000 miles previous.Said to be a ‘highly original’ example retaining the original interior with Toyota cassette radio, the MR2 was accompanied by a large history file (an image of which can be viewed in the images) up until two months ago when the said paperwork was destroyed in a garage fire. Thankfully, the car was elsewhere and the vendor is happy to provide written confirmation to this effect as well as documentary evidence from a third party source that the now non-existent service book contained twenty-one stamps. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and MOT certificate valid until December 2022, the vendor rates this increasingly collectable MKI MR2’s engine, electrical equipment, gearbox and interior trim as ‘excellent’ and its bodywork and paintwork as ‘good’.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Fitted with a range of naturally aspirated and turbocharged inline-four and V6 engines, the original Audi S4 and RS4 are featured in this generation of A4. In 1999, the B5 Audi A4 received a mechanical and styling facelift before production of the B5 A4 ceased in 2001. The Quattro variant was considered the highest specification under the S4 and RS4 models, utilising the 2.8-litre turbocharged V6 with all-wheel drive allowed a 0-62mph speed of just 7.5 seconds, with stopping facilitated by vented discs at the front and disc brakes at the rear.This A4 Avant Quattro was manufactured in 1998 and was delivered on the 31st of August 1999 by Audi Centre Windhoek, Nambia to a Ms. Schneider who owned the car for approximately twelve months before importing the car to the United Kingdom. Retaining it until 2001, ‘T532 BLR’ was passed to its second and only other keeper.

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. Though, 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.

Registration No: ADU 375XChassis No: ZFFHA02C000039175MOT: September 20221 of just 67 RHD examples madeOriginal factory colour combinationFull belt service in December 2020PLEASE NOTE: We believe the alternator has a fault on this lotIntroduced at the October 1975 Paris Salon, the 308 GTB (Gran Turismo Berlinetta) was an important car not just for Ferrari but for stylist Pininfarina as well. Keen to re-establish its monopoly on the Prancing Horse, the famous carrozzeria strove to produce a truly iconic design. In the eyes of many it succeeded and certainly Maranello has not strayed since. Initially clad with fibreglass panels the 308 GTB adopted steel bodywork in 1977 (though, the inner wings and floorpan remained moulded from GRP). That same year also saw an open-topped version debuting at the Earls Court Motor Fair. Christened the 308 GTS (Gran Turismo Spider), it was Ferrari's only ‘wind-in-the-hair’ model at the time and featured a removable ‘targa’ roof panel that stowed neatly behind the seats. Utilising a subtly strengthened version of its sibling's tubular spaceframe chassis, the newcomer employed the same all-round independent double-wishbone suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack and pinion steering. Powered by Maranello's magnificent 'quad-cam' 2926cc V8 engine mated to five-speed manual transmission, the 308 GTS was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.7 seconds and 150mph. The adoption of Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection in 1980 brought an improvement in fuel economy and saw the model rechristened the 308 GTSi. The vast majority of the 1,749 Ferrari 308 GTSi cars made were to left-hand drive specification. Indeed, the UK market received just sixty-seven right-hand drive examples. Originally finished in Nero with Crema leather upholstery, chassis 39175 was specified with air-conditioning to complement its lift-out Targa roof panel. The vendor tells us that: ‘Sadly, the car’s early history has been misplaced but there are invoices on file for work carried out over the past decade by the same independent Ferrari specialist’. Reportedly treated to an extensive cosmetic restoration over the past couple of years ‘including a full respray and partial interior retrim in the original Ferrari Nappa leather’, ‘ADU 375X’ is also said to have benefited from a cambelt service during December 2020 and a gearbox overhaul (plus replacement water pump, crank sensor and rear main oil seal etc) in August 2021. The latter was carried out by marque specialist R&D Automotive of Manchester at a cost of £5,505.44. Pleasingly retaining its original factory-fitted 2926cc V8 engine and spare wheel, the two-seater passed its last MOT certificate on 9th September 2021 with ‘no advisories’. Displaying a highly credible 65,600 miles to its odometer and even sporting the original radio, this rare, RHD 308 GTSi is summed-up by the seller as ‘a superb looking machine’.

Registration No: DMT 612VChassis No: 2F05H144008MOT: ExemptRecently fitted with a new Holley carburettor351 cubic-inch V8 Windsor engine coupled to a 4-speed manual gearboxTorque-Thrust wheels and front disc brakesImported into the UK in 1980PLEASE NOTE: This lot was in running order when photographed for the catalogue however when being loaded for the auction the starter motor failed. Upon inspection it could not be repaired so a new starter motor is included in the salePLEASE NOTE: This lot has been re-entered due to non-payment from our Imperial War Museum auction on the 17th of November.The last year in which Ford's iconic pony car would escape being saddled with mandatory federal '5mph impact' bumpers and the year in which the Boss 351 and 429 Big Block were dropped due to emissions regulations, 1972 also represented the penultimate season of first-generation Mustang production. It was the final fling of Ford’s muscle car performance engine era.This impressive Mustang was imported into the United Kingdom in 1980 hence its ‘V’ registration plate. Thought to have arrived via the US Military personal import arrangement, it has a 351 cubic-inch V8 Windsor motor coupled to a 4-speed manual gearbox. Finished in Canary Yellow and riding on Torque-Thrust wheels, the original steering wheel has been replaced by a vintage leather Motolita item, and the gear lever is a ‘white ball’ Hurst shifter. A new Holley carburettor and fuel pump have recently been fitted and new spark plugs. The carpets were replaced and a major brake service carried out (including a new master cylinder and rear wheel cylinders) before the car was stored around six years ago. Fitted with desirable disc brakes at the front, the history file shows that in 2009 clutch and prop shaft work amounted to £3,150. Although the chassis number decodes as 1972 for the year of manufacture the body style is c.1969/70. Possibly the result of being back dated at some stage.Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Registration No: ABW 721F Chassis No: 242378Z132151 MOT: ExemptRare and desirable four-speed manual gearbox exampleThe beneficiary of much improvement while in current ownershipFitted with the original 400ci engineUnderstood to be a ‘matching numbers’ exampleThe original much-vaunted series of GTOs reigned from 1964 to 1974 and were classic muscle cars of the period. Forced to adhere to the US manufacturers' voluntary ban on factory-sponsored racing, GM had turned its attention to optimising the performance of its road cars, in order to maintain the interest of the young American enthusiast. The GTO was essentially the brainchild of three men - engine specialist Russell Gee, chassis engineer Bill Collins and chief engineer John DeLorean; who later achieved fame for the car bearing his name and cheating the British taxpayer of millions of pounds. The GTO was DeLorean's clever idea, but one strongly resented by Ferrari enthusiasts.Manufactured in 1968, this was supplied new via Porter Pontiac Inc. of Denver, Colorado having been constructed in the Fremont plant. Costing $3,533.17 (according to the accompanying Pontiac Retail Price sheet for the car), with the GTO having been specified with the ‘wonder touch’ power steering from new along with dual-exhausts, interior lights, heavy duty floor shift and recessed window wipers, amongst other features. Fitted with the 400ci Pontiac V8 engine mated to the rare and desirable four-speed manual transmission. Finished in the striking colour combination of Solar Red with complementary Medium Red interior upholstery, ‘ABW 721F’ was imported into the UK in 2021, whereby it was purchased by the vendor (the sole UK keeper).An older restored example, the GTO has been subject to much recent improvement since entering into current ownership, with ‘ABW 721F’ benefitting from new door and window seals, servicing (with new spark plugs), refurbished wheels, new Eldbrook rocker covers, an interior refresh and engine bay tidying. Accompanied by the Pontiac build records and a current V5C document, the Pontiac is due to be driven approximately 65 miles to the sale.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: 109 GMOChassis No: 2525XMot: ExemptBuick holds the distinction of being the oldest active American marque and the original Buick Motor Company was a cornerstone of the establishment of General Motors in 1908. Before the establishment of General Motors, GM founder William C. Durant, previously served as Buick's general manager while his friend Louis Chevrolet worked as a racing driver for Buick. Under Durant’s stewardship, General Motors production rose dramatically. The company introduced its first 6-cylinder car in 1914 and for a period in the 1920s the range would consist entirely of sixes. A detachable cylinder head, strengthened chassis and axles, and 4-wheel brakes were new introductions on the 6-cylinder line for 1924, the last year of Buick's base-model four. Replacing the latter for 1925, the Standard Six boasted a new, overhead-valve engine displacing 191cu in and producing 50bhp,while the larger Master Six came with a 255cu in, 70bhp unit. The duo was restyled for 1926 and given larger engines of 207 and 274cu in respectively and continued almost unaltered throughout 1927. For this season, the cars were visibly distinguishable by their slightly rounded radiator edges. Supplied new to Australia or so its RHD configuration and `Holden Body' plaque would imply, this particular example was imported to the UK in 1979 and remained in mostly private collections until it was purchased through H&H in June of 2013, where it has remained in family ownership until this day. More recently, the vehicle has benefited from mechanical and electrical overhaul bringing it back to running condition. 109 GMO comes complete with driver's handbook, sidescreens, a number of invoices and the V5 document.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Andreas Hicksandreas.hicks@handh.co.uk07943584762Condition report: tba

In an effort to fully capitalise on the many respected names in its care, the company embarked upon a programme of 'badge engineering' and the new MG Midget was essentially a MKII Austin-Healey Sprite in a slightly different suit of clothes. In christening its new small sports car 'Midget', BMC revived a name made famous by a range of pre-war MGs. Certainly, the Midgets, old and new, shared the same basic concept - i.e. they were two-seaters clothed in a simple, relatively light body and equipped with front-mounted engines driving the rear wheels. Moreover, they had suspension and brake components etc common to other cars, making them easy to replace or repair and cheap to service. The Midget MK I was introduced in 1961 and ran for a couple of years only with the 948cc engine. In 1962 it was upgraded and the 1098cc engine was fitted and this ran for three years, but surprisingly less examples were made. It was in essence an Austin Healey Sprite with a more attractive grille and side chrome trim; and from 1962 disk brakes were standard.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: 'Good'Engine: 'Good'Electrical Equipment: 'Good'Paintwork: 'Good'Gearbox: 'Good'Interior Trim: 'Good' Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Registration No: JR 700Chassis No: GSY 68MOT: ExemptFirst owned by Sir Cecil Algernon Cochrane DCL, JP, a former Liberal Party MP, successful businessman and benefactor of Newcastle UniversityOriginal Hooper All-Weather coachwork and subject to a previous engine overhaulOffered from long-term family ownershipContinuation buff logbook, copy Hooper paperwork, V5C Registration Document, sundry correspondence and restoration bills.Supplied new to the successful businessman and former Liberal Party MP Sir Cecil Algernon Cochrane DCL JP, chassis GSY68 was clothed by Hooper with All-Weather Body Number 7804. An ingenious design that aimed to provide occupants with the best of both worlds, its fully convertible roof and retractable window frames stowed neatly out of the way when true open-air motoring was desired but were also easy to raise should the weather turn inclement. The provision of an insulated headlining and wind-up windows made the ‘All-Weather’ far cosier than a conventional Tourer. Such versatility came at a price with Hooper charging £594 17s 6d for Body Number 7804; a sum which would have bought a house nine decades ago.That said, the build quality which had won the renowned coachbuilder a Royal Warrant helped ensure the Rolls-Royce’s survival with a letter on file from J. Fewster Esq dated December 1984 reading as follows: ‘I purchased chassis GSY68 from the family of the original owner in the 1960s. To the best of my knowledge the indicated mileage of 87,000 is correct’. Thereafter, the 20/25 passed through the hands of renowned marque enthusiast and dealer Peter Harper before being purchased by the vendor’s late husband from The Real Car Co of Gwynedd on April 25th 2000 for £32,000. Accompanying photos show the car looking a little scruffy at the time and finished in Yellow over Black with a Black hood.As well as reinstating the Rolls-Royce’s original Northumberland registration number ‘JR 700’, the vendor’s late husband significantly improved its mechanical and cosmetic condition during 2000-2001. Repainted Exeter Blue and partially retrimmed, the 20/25 also had its wiring attended to. Entrusted to Rolls-Royce & Bentley Specialists Dennis Pilling & Son, the original engine (number A2N) received a thorough overhaul with associated bills totalling more than £15,000. Maintained and improved thereafter, an invoice from Ristes Motor Company Ltd dated August 2014 for two front brake drum finned rings is among the more recent on file. Sporting a nicely patinated interior complete with what appear to be the original fixtures and fittings and starting readily upon inspection, this rare Hooper-bodied ‘All-Weather’ Rolls-Royce is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with continuation buff logbook, copy Hooper paperwork, V5C Registration Document, sundry correspondence and restoration bills.

Registration: Un-regChassis No: 40248MOT: ExemptDesirable Crossley 18/50 Tourer with the later 3.2 lite 6 cylinder engineOne of 12 cars manufactured for the Royal Tour of Australia, 1927, and just one of 4 surviving examplesPresented as a project for completion, with running engine, drivetrain and frame completed Previously a manufacturer of proprietary engines, Crossley Brothers Limited, of Manchester, built their first motor car in 1904. The first Crossley to make any impact was the A W Reeves-designed 20hp, introduced in 1910. The model was taken up by the military in World War I, seeing service as a staff car, ambulance, and light truck. In the post-war years the company continued to concentrate its efforts on transportation for the middle classes, a policy helped considerably by the marque's popularity with British royalty.Unlike many rival manufacturers of up-market cars, Crossley continued to favour four-cylinder sidevalve power units for all its models until the advent of the 18/50 in 1926. The 18/50 featured a 2.6-litre, six-cylinder, overhead-valve engine, which was stretched to 3.2 litres in 1928 for the broadly similar 20.9hp model. Mechanically akin to the smaller Crossley 2-Litre, the 20.9hp was built on a 125"-wheelbase chassis, and came with a right-hand change four-speed gearbox. Available in saloon, fabric saloon, and tourer variants, the model lasted until Crossley's demise as a motor manufacturer in 1937.In 1927, Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI), and wife Elizabeth undertook a Royal Tour to Australia. Their journey by sea took them via Jamaica, the Panama Canal and they journeyed onto New Zealand afterwards. When they sailed into Sydney harbour on HMS Renown on 26 March, they attracted Australia's first gathering of more than one million people. The principal duty of the Prince on this visit was to open the provisional Parliament House in Canberra, on 9 May 1927. They spent twelve days in New South Wales, seven in Queensland, four in Tasmania, eleven in Victoria, six in South Australia, six in Western Australia and three in the Australian Capital Territory, with the remaining 10 for travelling and recreation. They departed the country on 23 May for New Zealand.The cars supplied for this Royal visit were made by Crossley Cars of Gorton, Manchester. They had a long standing connection with the Royal Family, have previously supplied cars for the Royal Family, with examples being supplied to the King George V, the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) and more. For the tour, 12 cars were built with a further 7 for the New Zealand leg in late 1926. These consisted of four limousines, two Landaulet’s and six open tourer’s. The cars were painted maroon with maroon upholstery and decorated with the royal seal on the rear doors. They also had metal seals on the bonnet front; and the cars featured the later 20.9 HP, 3.2 litre six cylinder engine and all had standards attached to the radiator cap to carry the Royal Standard.After much work cross-referencing the substantial existing records in the State Archives in Canberra, it is believed Chassis 40248 was a Tourer used on the Toowoomba, Victorian and Canberra legs of the tour, of which from an original group of 12, only four have survived, this example was exported to the UK in 1997. One is in the Australian National Museum in Canberra (a Landaulette), a Limousine body exists on a tourer chassis in Sydney, and the third car in Victoria with has survived with minimal remains of its tourer body. The car on offer today has been subject to mechanical overhaul and benefits from a running engine as well as a new frame. Now awaiting the final phase of its restoration, this vehicle presents a very interesting opportunity to acquire a historically important Royal Tour car of Australia. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine and transmission as ‘Good’ and comes accompanied with a detailed history file, as well as some spare parts.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Andreas Hicksandreas.hicks@handh.co.uk07943584762

In long term ownership from 1989 to 2016 when acquired by the vendor, it is offered with Swansea V5C together with a collection of invoices. TEG 723N currently registers some 60,500 miles and is described as having “very good” bodywork, white paintwork, engine, automatic transmission and black interior. Powered by a 4520cc SOHC V8 engine, the 450SL model was quoted as developing some 225bhp and 278lbft of torque. A strong 120mph-plus performer, it remained in production until 1980.Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

The fastback Coupe was intended to do for Europe what the Mustang had done for the USA - ie it was our 'pony' car, and would have been called Colt had Mitsubishi not bagged the name first. The monocoque body featured independent front suspension by MacPherson strut and a live axle with leaf springs at the rear. Worthwhile improvements came with the MKII models of 1974 and the quadruple headlamp MKIII cars introduced in 1978. Then in 1981, the venerable 3-litre Essex-engined variant was dropped in favour of the 2.8 Injection model - a single-car range powered by the lusty fuel-injected 2.8-litre Cologne V6. Power rose to 160bhp and, soon after launch, the old four-speed gearbox was replaced with a more contemporary five-speed one. Ford now had a stylish four-seat Coupe with performance capable of shaming rivals costing four times the money - it could hit 60mph in 7.8 seconds and top 130mph flat out. Capris have become hot property and many enthusiasts regard the 2.8-litre injection cars as the best of the bunch.Supplied new via County Garage (Ellon) Ltd of Aberdeen, being purchased on the 7th of January that 1986 by the first owner (as per the original bill of sale). Fitted with the 2792cc Cologne V6 engine mated to the five-speed manual transmission, this 2.8i Special is finished in the classic colour combination of Mineral Blue over Strato Grey with Grey leather and cloth Recaro interior upholstery. With just three owners from new, the Capri was retained by its first owner from 1986 until 2012, before passing to the second keeper, who also resided in Aberdeenshire and kept the Ford until 2018. Understood to have never used the car on the road, the current (third) keeper purchased ‘C193 RSA’ in 2018, covering just 73,416 miles from new (at time of consignment) in the hands of the said three owners.Costing £9,603.50 when new, the Capri was specified with the optional extra of Ford mud flaps as illustrated by the aforementioned original bill of sale that is presented in the history file. The history file further includes the original books (with service book and owners manual); a collection of invoices; some hand-written logs of expenditure; copies of previous logbooks; a large number of MOTs with the earliest dating from 1992; a current V5C document and two keys, one set which is displaying an original dealership key ring.The subject of much expenditure since 2016, the Capri benefitted from engine, gearbox and rear axle refurbishment in 2016 along with fitment of new-old-stock front wings, front panel and ‘slam’ panel and repainting in the original colour scheme. The Capri’s suspension received an overhaul including uprated bushes and a brake refresh in 2017. During the current ownership, ‘C193 RSA’ has been treated to a replacement gearbox and new clutch, limited slip-differential repairs (with double clutch bands fitted) and servicing. It has also had the leather sections of its upholstery professionally re-connolised.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration: OU08 BGKChassis No: SCFBE04B78GD10434MOT: September 2022Desirable facelift V8 Vantage Roadster presented in Onyx Black with matching Obsidian Black leather interiorBoasts desirable factory options including Bluetooth, cruise control, Aston Martin Premium Audio, heated memory seats and powerfold memory mirrorsOffered with just 67,000 miles and 4 former keepers Following the unveiling of the AMV8 Vantage concept car in 2003 at the North American International Auto Show, the production version, known as the V8 Vantage was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 2005 for the 2006 model year. Featuring bonded aluminium structure for strength and lightness, the V8 Vantage was initially powered by a 4.3-litre quad-cam 32-valve V8 which produced 380 bhp and propelled the car to 60mph in just 4.9 seconds, with a top speed of 175mph and benefited from a 49/51 front/rear weight distribution due to its front mid mounted engine with rear mounted transaxle. Later in 2006, Aston introduced their automated manual gearbox option, the sportshift. Sportshift added electro-hydraulic control to the existing Vantage 6-speed manual gearbox to offer improved shift times and replaced the conventional manual gear lever with push button controls and paddles on the steering wheel. The Vantage was an immediate success. Some estimate by the time the car was first shown, some dealers had as much as a three year waiting list and the car was one of only two cars added to BBC Top Gear’s ‘DB9 Section’ mini fridge, reserved for cars even cooler than ‘Sub Zero’. The car would later go on to receive Jeremy Clarkson’s 2005 Best Sounding Car of the Year, and Coolest Car of the Year. Nowadays, the V8 Vantage is still considered one of the best looking cars of all time and has become an undisputed modern classic, with values rising over the past 12 months. Manufactured in 2008 and presented in Onyx black with matching Obsydian black interior ft. silver stitching, OU08 BGK benefits from being a more desirable roadster and features the much loved sportshift gearbox. Showing just c. 67,000 miles with 4 former keepers on the v5 document, this particular example boasts desirable factory options including Bluetooth, cruise control, Aston Martin Premium Audio, heated memory seats and powerfold memory mirrors.Included with the vehicle are a number of documents including the original handbook, which includes two Aston Martin service stamps, as well as a number of folders containing invoices for other services and works carried out. OU08 BGK also comes accompanied with original tracker fobs and the vendor rates the car as ‘Very Good’ all round.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Andreas Hicksandreas.hicks@handh.co.uk07943584762

Subaru chose to continue their longstanding use of the boxer engine in the Impreza. According to Subaru, their configuration of the engine in line with the transmission minimises body roll due to the lower centre of gravity compared with offset engines in most other cars. The boxer design provides good vibration mitigation due to the principles of a very well-balanced engine, the movement of each piston is largely countered by a piston in the opposing cylinder bank, eliminating the need for a counter-weighted rotating crankshaft (harmonic balancer). Torque steer is also minimised with this type of powertrain layout since the front driveshafts are of equal length and weight.Manufactured in the year 2000, the Impreza was supplied new via Threeways Garage Subaru in Abergele, being purchased by the first keeper on the 1st of September that year. Fitted with the 1994cc flat-four Subaru EJ engine mated to the five-speed manual transmission and is finished in Deep Blue Metallic with two-tone Grey interior upholstery. Having covered just 77,276 miles (at time of consignment) at the hands of just two former keepers. Accompanied by the original service book which displays fifteen entries, the last at 69,700 miles, along with a small selection of past MOT certificates and invoices, a no advisory MOT until November 2022 and current V5C document. Interested parties should note that the Subaru is fitted with a 'cat-less' exhaust.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: IOM-Reg (previously 'AWM 5') Chassis No: GFT2 MOT: ExemptExhibited at the October 1931 Salon d’Automobiles in Paris’s magnificent Grand Palais, chassis GFT2 provided coachbuilder Barker with an opportunity to showcase its talents to a truly international audience. Thought to be unique, the Swept Tail Sports Saloon body that the London firm created for the occasion was a stylistic masterclass. The Rolls-Royce’s previous owner, Julian Bowen, was unaware of its significance when he took possession in May 2008. A renowned furniture designer, the car’s lines enchanted him so much that he rejected a host of other 20/25s and spent well over a year politely badgering his immediate predecessor to sell. Applying to the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club for a set of copy build records revealed that GFT2 was a former ‘Paris Show Car’. Suitably enthused, he tracked down relevant copies of Motor and Autocar magazines which confirmed the 20/25 had originally sported a bold two-tone livery and wheel discs. Determined to return the Swept Tail Sports Saloon to its former glory, Mr Bowen embarked upon a meticulous restoration the story of which is recounted in his own words below: “We decided to start with the body repairs, keeping an eye for traces of the original colour scheme - Green and Cream! It took time to be satisfied with a hue match, but after weeks of experimentation we felt it was perfect. I was lucky to be using a small body shop outside Grantham whose approach was as fastidious and perfectionist as my own. The chromework was re-plated and the bonnet hinges remade in stainless steel. In removing the hinges, the original rivets had to be sacrificed. I purchased replacements but they stood too proud. A retired friend heard of the problem and offered to machine over 400 rivets to the correct profile! He also remade the Barker patented dipping system in stainless steel. At the same time all the dome headed coach bolts on the body were remade in stainless steel. A commercial supplier supplied new wheel discs. The original windscreen had delaminated so a new one was obtained. The chrome went back on, the locks were repaired, and the headlamps sent to Sheffield to be refurbished. It was time to tackle the trim. Around 1960 'Arabella' (as she is known) had been sold to America spending the next 25 years in Florida. Painted Copper Bronze, fitted with Buick bumpers and shorn of her wheel discs, she also suffered heat damage to the interior. Thankfully, the original but heavily cracked horsehide leather was covered over with vinyl rather than being discarded. A small tannery in Southern Spain, who tanned leather by hand, were able to colour match using cowhide. I already knew a trimmer whose work was of very high quality and was confident he would maintain the standards already achieved. The original stuffing of horsehair and latex was re-used. There were no carpets or headlining present, so we chose colours that suited the rest of the livery. Basically the engine and drivetrain were in good condition, but some ancillary equipment had gone missing over time. The most difficult items to source were the under trays and the starter solenoid. The engine had been worked on by the previous owner and already boasted an aluminium cylinder head and re-metalled bearings. The engine compartment was tidied, and all electrics re-wired using correct colours. After steam cleaning the chassis and re-painting, she was much admired by all who saw her. Over the course of the restoration, research into the car's history proved very interesting. The first owner, who saw it at the Paris Show in the Grand Palais was a well-known enthusiast for the marque, Captain JF Kruse MC. Born in 1892, Jack Kruse was the eldest son of a successful banker who, having survived a torpedo attack in WWI, left the Royal Navy with the rank of Captain. Following the war, he established successful business enterprises in England and The Netherlands, married an American hotel heiress, and cultivated various connections among British high society. By the end of the 1920s, Capt. Kruse maintained residences in London and the French Riviera. During this period, Capt. Kruse also developed a passion for elegant, high-performance motor cars. He owned some of the finest thoroughbreds of the era including an Alfa Romeo 6C 1750, Bentley 6 1/2 Litre, Bugatti Type 35, Mercedes-Benz SS, Low-Chassis Invicta, and Lancia Lambda, among others. Inspired by his close associate Lord Rothermere, the co-founder of the Daily Mail and an early patron of Rolls-Royce, Capt. Kruse became one of the firm’s most important customers, purchasing three Silver Ghosts, four 20 HPs, four Phantom Is, four Phantom IIs, and four 20/25s. Due to his friendship with Frank Manning, the showroom manager for Barker & Co., most of Capt. Kruse’s Rolls-Royce were bodied by this prestigious coachbuilder. The next owner, the Marquis de Portago, who bought the car in 1933, was a personal friend of Captain Kruse, the two having met on the polo pitch at the Hurlingham Club. In 1928, he had had an only son named Alfonso, whose mother used the car until it was disposed of just pre-WW2. Alfonso became a famous racing driver before his death in the 1957 Mille Miglia. The car spent World War Two in storage in Montpelier Square, London, emerging in the ownership of another Captain - Captain Drummond MC, a member of the banking family and a distant relative of the Queen Mother. Around 1960 she was sold to an American Serviceman based at Bicester and subsequently shipped to Florida. He registered her '1931 RR', and over 20 years allowed her to descend into dilapidation. She was spotted in Miami and brought back to the UK by Porters of Kensington and, shortly afterwards, c.1985, acquired by the retired motor engineer in Lincolnshire from whom I bought her in 2008. Built as a 'one off', she remains unique although rumours exist of a similar body built on a Phantom chassis. Since completion 'Arabella' has travelled c.16,000 miles. The first ride overseas was to the Classic Le Mans meeting, then a tour was made under the auspices of the ‘Club d'Auto’ around the Champagne vineyards of Epernay. We then attended the Circuit des Remparts at Angouleme before being invited to attend the British Car Club Meeting in St Moritz where we participated in the Rally, negotiating two Alpine Passes of seven and eight thousand feet before coming second in the Concours. She has made two trips to the Goodwood Revival and in 2012 she won Best in Class and Best in Show at the RREC Annual Rally at Rockingham. The achievement shortly afterwards of winning 'Best in Show' at the 2013 NEC Classic Car Show is a fitting testimonial to the craftsmen and friends who have helped to create the masterpiece that is the first Rolls-Royce to win this coveted award” Purchased by the vendor from Mr Bowen via our 2015 RREC Burghley House auction, GFT2 has continued its winning ways. Much appreciated wherever she goes, ‘Arabella’ was crowned 'Best in Show' at the 2018 RREC North of England Rally. Apart from this, ‘Arabella’ has been used for many local events on the Isle of Man since being acquired by the vendor. The last couple of months have seen the 20/25 treated to a new battery and full service. Worthy of close inspection, this decidedly special Rolls-Royce’s return to market has only been prompted by impending medical treatment. Offered for sale with large history file, handbook, car cover, hazard light kit (unfitted) and sundry tools.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Millner based at RAF Wildenrath, GermanyThe beneficiary of a comprehensive engine and brake overhaul by Omicron Classico in 2014Offered with a history file including original sale invoiceWinner of a 'Top 10' prize at the the Lancia Motor Club Annual Weekend 2021The Lancia Fulvia Saloon made its debut at the 1963 Geneva Salon. The newcomer featured a narrow-angle DOHC V4 engine mounted ahead of and driving the front wheels. Front suspension was independent by wishbones and a single leaf spring, while a solid axle with Panhard rod and leaf springs was employed at the rear. Braking was by discs all-round. The two-door Coupe derivative was introduced at the 1965 Turin Salon, the wheelbase of which was 5.9in shorter than the Saloons. Countless race and rally victories were accrued by these feisty little cars, not least victory in the 1972 FIA Manufacturers Championship. All versions of the Fulvia were facelifted in 1969. These Series II cars had superior disc brakes, five-speed gearboxes, a diaphragm clutch, stiffer springing and an alternator.Supplied new to Sgt. T. I. Millner who was based at RAF Wildenrath in Germany, this 1971 Fulvia was manufactured new as a right-hand drive example. Powered by the 1298cc Lancia V4 engine mated to the five-speed manual transmission. Finished in the attractive colour combination of Mendoza Blue with Beige vinyl interior upholstery. Brought to the UK in 1973, the 1.3S entered into current ownership in 2013, purchased from the previous custodian of seven years and has a recorded mileage of some 95,500 miles.Benefitting from a comprehensive engine and brake overhaul by Omicron Classico in 2014 to the cost of approximately £6,800 (with the invoice on file), the Lancia was subsequently furnished with new front and rear screen seals and front discs and pads in 2018 (costing c.£900). Additional improvements include some cosmetic renovation in 2019 and two new tyres and servicing this year. Offered with a history file including an original sales invoice, instruction book and sales literature; a selection of MOTs (the earliest dating from 1984); a large collection of invoices relating to work, servicing and parts; images from a European road-trip in the early 1970s and V5C document.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: NUV 944 Chassis No: LML/50/393 MOT: Oct 2022“It would appear that every so often the gods pass over some Works or another and with an inclination of the head inspire the production of a car with outstanding virtues. The Aston Martin DB2 stands worthy in the pedigree of real motor cars stretching back through the 4½ Litre Bentley to the 30/98 Vauxhall” (Lawrence Pomeroy, The Motor, October 1950)According to its accompanying copy factory records, chassis LML/50/393 was originally finished in Black with Red upholstery. Notable for being among the last twenty of just 411 DB2 cars made, its specification included the more powerful ‘Vantage’ specification 2.6 litre DOHC straight-six engine (number VB6E/50/1221). Bearing the London registration number ‘NUV 944’, the two-seater was supplied new via Aston Martin concessionaire Brooklands of Bond Street to Ian Scott Duffus Esq of Old Place Farm, Mayfield Sussex. A successful businessman, Mr Duffus is believed to have been a scion of the Scottish shipping dynasty and to have garnered a degree of media coverage for building a private funicular railway to access his subsequent clifftop home in Devon. Returning to the factory for routine maintenance until November 1957, the DB2 relocated to the Midlands passing through the hands of Philip Scofield Esq., M.J.A. Hill Esq. and Queen’s Park Garage Ltd of Harborne before being acquired by William Ward Esq in February 1964. Taxation stamps in the continuation buff logbook on file indicate that Mr Ward took the Aston Martin off the road during 1965. Dormant for the next twenty years, ‘NUV 944’ was then sold to Keith Sampson who embarked upon a meticulous body off, chassis up mechanical and cosmetic restoration. Completed by February 23rd 1995 when the car passed its first recorded MOT test with ten miles on the clock, the work was documented via a photo album and handwritten log with the body accounting for some 560 hours alone. A luminary of the Sunbeam Tiger Owners’ Club and proprietor of the Sunbeam Spares Company, Mr Hampson was no stranger to classic cars. With plenty of other machinery to choose from, he covered a mere 1,700 miles or so behind the wheel of ‘NUV 944’ during his twenty-three years’ tenure. Thereafter, it passed to renowned Aston Martin collector Anthony Moody who added a further 600 or so miles to the odometer up until 2012 when he asked Philp Jones of Byron International to broker a sale on his behalf. Drawn to the Byron International advertisement which described it thus: ‘LML/50/393 is believed to be one of the finest examples available. The combination of its condition after several thousand hours of restoration work, a well-documented history of long-term careful ownership, and very desirable specification make it a highly sought-after acquisition for any serious collector or enthusiast’, the vendor commissioned a pre-purchase report from Chris Adams of the respected Feltham Aston Martin specialist Four Ashes Garage. Mr Adams’ conclusions were as follows: ‘This car has been superbly restored . . . it was restored by non-AM specialists when information was difficult to find . . . It is hard to fault the basic restoration, a body off full restoration before this became commonplace with body, paint and trim almost concours level. The engine problems are easy to fix but will cost a lot of money, caused by lack of basic product knowledge’. Intending to use the DB2 for historic rallying and trials, the seller negotiated a modest discount and despatched it to Four Ashes for a thorough engine reworking plus attention to the brakes, steering, suspension, gearbox, wiring and rear axle. As well as having various new internals fitted and being converted to run on unleaded fuel, the 2.6 litre DOHC straight-six benefited from Four Ashes’ expertise with regards to compression ratios, camshaft timing, ignition timing etc. The result according to a dyno sheet from Mass Racing was an impressive 169bhp and 163.8lbft of torque (an impressive thirty-five percent increase in power over a standard ‘Vantage’ unit and more than Jaguar initially quoted for its contemporaneous 3.4 litre XK engine). The gearbox was overhauled with new synchromesh cones and bearings. The steering was rejuvenated too and upgraded with variable electric power assistance. A rear damper conversion was complemented by a heavy-duty front anti-roll bar, reconditioned front dampers and lower / stiffer springs all round. The rear axle gained a Quaife partial locking differential, the flywheel was lightened / balanced and a new clutch installed. The electrics were converted to negative earth with other concessions to modernity encompassing an uprated alloy radiator, Kenlowe fan, stainless steel exhaust and K&N air filters. Completed in time to participate in the June 2013 Three Castles Rally, the ‘breathed on’ DB2 duly won its class and was subsequently invited to appear on the Aston Martin Owners’ Club stand at that year’s NEC Classic Car Show. ‘NUV 944’ also contested the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Three Castle Rallies as well as taking class honours on the 2016 Scottish Malts Rally. The two-seater was granted a FIVA Identity Card in 2017 as the vendor toyed with the idea of contesting the Mille Miglia Storica. In the end his other motoring commitments (mainly Maserati) put pay to such plans. Nonetheless, he continued spending money on the DB2 switching its upkeep to Aston Engineering of Derby. In addition to routine servicing, the latter overhauled the brakes in 2019 and fettled the gearbox during 2020. The seller tells us that he has spent over £100,000 improving and maintaining ‘NUV 944’ and it certainly comes with an impressive history file. Advertised for sale at £259,995 two years ago, the Aston Martin was reviewed and road tested by Classic Cars magazine’s Paul Hardiman who commented as follows: ‘This is an older restoration, but the workmanship is lasting so well it’s hard to tell ... It starts easily, goes well, and as you’d hope at this money, is a fully sorted car that’s very pleasant to drive. DBs of this vintage can be crude old things, but this is about as good as they get ... When tired DB2/4s can be bought at auction for not much more than £100k, this might look pricey at first glance, but it is the earlier, rarer, more elegant (and Mille Miglia eligible) model that couldn’t be replicated to this near-perfect standard for the price’. We believe the modifications have been sympathetically carried out and greatly enhance the driving experience and usability. However, they are all reversible should a new owner so wish. The engine timing cover is clearly stamped with the number ‘VB6E/50/1221’ and the unit started readily and sounded well during our recent photography session. The odometer displays 13,500 miles (11,000 or so accrued by the vendor). Put simply, this is a good car from a good home and worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with large history file and ‘no advisories’ MOT certificate valid until October 2022.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Although not as crisply styled as the earlier Giorgio Giugiaro-penned creation, the newcomer did have the advantage of being based on the 1992 European Car of the Year. A thoroughly modern design, its high-strength two-door monocoque bodyshell featured an integral roll-over hoop and driver's/passenger's airbags. Protected from the elements by a 6-layer quick release hood, the four-seater cabin was suitably cosseting. Drives benefitted from both power-assisted steering and ABS brakes. Available with a choice of 1.6, 1.8, or 2.0-litre engines, the model enjoyed a seven-year production run between 1994 and 2001 (though, later incarnations wore a Mark 4 visage). Few would bet against the Mk3 Cabriolet going the way of its Mk1 predecessor and becoming a predominant classic.Through the mid-1990s, Volkswagen sponsored three high-profile rock bands and introduced celebratory models to commemorate these events. The Golf was the model that featured these special editions, with a 1994 Pink Floyd Edition, 1995 Rolling Stones Edition (as seen here), and the Golf Bon Jovi Edition (1996). Celebrating the Rolling Stones’ Voodoo Lounge album and tour of 1995 and featuring decals from the tour, the Golf is fitted with the 1781cc straight-four engine with five-speed manual transmission. Finished in the exclusive colour of Aqua Blue Pearl metallic with Grey cloth interior upholstery and Black hood, ‘N509 LGS’ has covered c.132,000 miles.Recently benefitting from renewed brakes including new pads, shoes, handbrake kit and replacement brake pipes; new cambelt; full exhaust system and catalytic converted; four matching Yokohama tyres and new battery.

Their first monocoque design, it also benefited from olio-pneumatic rear suspension, power disc brakes and, from 1968, GM's silken 400 series automatic gearbox. Such 'new technology' did not encroach on the luxurious interior with its sumptuous leather hides, rich wood veneers and deep lambswool carpets. Though smaller than the Silver Cloud III, it possessed greater space and boasted far more contemporary looks. At launch, it was powered by a 172bhp V8 engine of 6,230cc, though this was enlarged to 6,750cc during 1970. Performance from the smooth V8 engine was assured, the car wafting forward on a seemingly unstoppable wave of torque. Still immensely cosseting to drive, Shadows offer a genuinely different ownership experience to their mass-made peers.Supplied new by Rossleigh Ltd to Cambridge Electrics Ltd of Glasgow this example pleasingly retains its original book pack and factory guarantee letter etc. The car is believed to have had just two owners (unfortunately this is not document supported) and to have covered just 41,000 miles from new based on the condition of its original interior and its residency on the Isle of Man since 1979.

These "Improved Ford" models were introduced in the final years of the T and gave an advanced look at what was to come for the company's new Model A. As such, restyled bodywork and even chassis improvements make these later cars standouts of the T range.This original Model T 'Runabout' Tourer has been in the current ownership for three years having been imported from the USA in 2013. Evidently the subject of much previous restoration work, the red paintwork compliments the black interior and makes a welcome change from the usual black finished bodies more commonly found. The car is offered with a folder full of paperwork and photographs, most recently being put to use for occasional television work. Benefiting from a simple folding fabric hood to help fend off the worst of the English weather, 'BF 6434' is said to have good body, engine, electrical equipment and interior, whilst the paintwork is rated 'average'.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Adam Sykesadam.sykes@handh.co.uk07429 600332

Launched at the 1955 Frankfurt Motor Show, it featured a separate chassis penned by Roy Brocklehurst and was powered by the 1489cc straight-four BMC B Series engine. The suspension was independent with coil springs at the front and by live axle hung on semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear. Braking was by Lockheed drums all-round, and steering was by rack and pinion.Manufactured in 1958 for the North American market, 876 XVG was first registered in the UK in 2019 and is presented in red with contrasting black interior.

By then the Rover's original workmanlike persona had been completely transformed - long gone were the hose-down rubber flooring and basic trim, which had been replaced by increasingly deep pile carpets, leather upholstery and wood finishings. The newcomer brought a strengthened chassis and less boxy exterior, while power was now provided by upgraded 4.0-litre and 4.6-litre versions of Rover's ubiquitous all-alloy V8 engine as well as a diesel derivative using the six-cylinder 2.5-litre engine.The limited-edition ‘Bordeaux’ was produced for the 2001 model year, with 200 examples manufactured for the UK market, 100 of both petrol and diesel variants. With a list price of £38,995 when new, they were finished in Alveston Red paintwork with colour-coded bumpers and mirrors along with Pro-Sport alloys. The interior upholstery is finished in complementary Lightstone Cream leather piped in Red with Red carpeting. ‘Y237 NRD’ was supplied new via Lancaster Land Rover of Reading, and this diesel example (fitted with the 2.5-litre TD engine) has been in current registered ownership since 2017 with six former keepers, covering c.113,000 miles from new.Recently benefitting from much expenditure which has included new ball joints, exhaust, ABS sensors and module, fuel tank sender, pipes and hoses and a new roof lining.

The British War Medal awarded to Wireless Operator A. H. Jeffries, Mercantile Marine, who was killed when the R.M.S. Leinster was torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U-123 off Dublin Bay on 10 October 1918 with the loss of over 500 lives British War Medal 1914-20 (Arthur H. Jeffries) good very fine £70-£90 --- Arthur Henry Jeffries was born in Chesterton, Cambridgeshire, in 1891, and after training at the British School of Telegraphy in London qualified as a Marconi Radio operator. He served during the Great War as the radio operator in the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company’s vessels R.M.S. Ulster and R.M.S. Leinster, and was killed when the Leinster was torpedoed by the German submarine U-123 just outside Dublin Bay in the Irish Sea, en route from Dublin to Holyhead, on 10 October 1918 - his last radio message was ‘S.O.S. S.O.S. S.O.S. Torpedoed Torpedoed Torpedoed.’ Two torpedoes struck the ship, the first exploding near the bows where 22 Post Office officials were engaged in sorting the mail. Of these men 21 were killed instantly. The second torpedo penetrated her engine room and killed and injured many persons. The weather was bad, with a very heavy sea; nevertheless an attempt was made to take the steamship in tow. In response to Jeffries’ S.O.S. message a destroyer came on the scene in time to rescue 33 persons, but too late to assist the Leinster, which had foundered in the meantime. At the time of the attack many passengers were lying in their berths owing to the rough sea, and there was much confusion when they rushed on deck. Several of the boats were got out too hurriedly and capsized, and in total over 500 lives were lost, many being service personnel who were returning from leave. Jeffries’ body was recovered from the sea and he was buried in the family grave at Deansgrange Cemetery, Dublin. Sold with copied research.
