The V6, connected to a six-speed Sequentronic manual transmission, is barely any slower than the V8, and the small pace deficit could be due to the more conventional chassis set up, and with the lighter engine the car feels more incisive in corners than the V8"With just 25,000 miles covered, only one previous keeper, and 12 stamps in the service history, this is a superb exampleLast Mercedes service September 2022 SpecificationMake: MERCEDES-BENZModel: SL 350Year: 2003Chassis Number: WDB2304672F052892Registration Number: BG03 YKCTransmission: AutoEngine Number: 11297331553799 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 25000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey
1965 Ford Cortina Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:3500The Cortina was Ford's mass-market compact car and sold extremely well. It was produced in five generations: the Mk. I through to the Mk. V, although officially the last one was called the Cortina 80. With variants of the Cortina reaching sales of over one million, each successive model proved more popular than its predecessor. Such was its fame in the UK, that the BBC Two documentary series Arena once devoted an entire programme to the car and its enthusiasts. In response to the huge success of the Mini, Ford responded not with a small car but with a larger family offering which they could sell in large numbers.This example was registered new on 3rd September 1965 and has had just two owners from new. Acquired by the current vendor in 2006 who set about restoring the Cortina to fast road/track specification. During the restoration a Vulcan engineering 2100 pinto engine was fitted, coupled to a type 9 five-speed gearbox. The Cortina was also treated to a rack and pinion conversion, Ford Capri single leaf springs, a FR33 high lift Kent camshaft, new cambelt, new water pump and coil overs. Sitting proudly on Lotus Cortina 5.5J steel wheels, the bodyshell includes a well fitted roll cage and the interior includes a Lotus dashboard and clocks. Presented in blue and orange livery the Cortina looks superb and turns heads wherever it goes. A fun and rather quick example we are sure this example, in its fast road specification, will be huge amounts of fun for the new owner at a very modest outlay.
The W124 is considered to be the last of the ‘million mile Mercedes’. Most engines and running gear were carried over from the previous model, but there were quite a few improvements. Multi-link independent rear suspension was a great improvement, and the whole car felt like a much more modern driving experience. The W124 had advanced crash protection, a bodyshell structure that crumpled progressively for example, while active safety was advanced thanks to the adoption of anti-lock braking as standard in the all the cars, being progressively introduced across the range.Originally registered on 16th November 1989, this W124 estate presents very well in Smoke Silver, which is complemented by black fabric upholstery. The car has been exceptionally well cared for in recent years with over £8,000 in invoices from the well-known Mercedes-Benz specialist John Haynes. We are advised the M102 2.3 litre engine runs well and the automatic transmission operates smoothly and efficiently. Supplied with a V5 registration document together with a current MoT test certificate valid until 21st February 2023, this very useable and versatile 230TE was an instant success and became the industry benchmark for reliability and engineering. The ample boot space, together with the folding rear seat combine to making this one of the largest load spaces available whilst still travelling in comfort.Significant service historyImpressive condition
1989 BMW 635CSiTransmission: automaticMileage:86,000 Successor to the race proven E9 3.0CS/CSi, the BMW 6-series was introduced in August 1976. More forgiving than its predecessors, it utilised a modified version of the 5-series saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension and powerful disc brakes. A natural rival to the 928 and XJS, the four-seater 6-series proved more capacious than the Porsche and sportier than the Jaguar. Immediately recognisable thanks to its distinctive 'shark nose' frontal styling and thin pillared glasshouse it boasts real road presence. An impression backed up by the various versions of BMW's mighty M30, SOHC straight-six engine fitted throughout the range. Second only to the BMW Motorsport tuned M6 version, the 635CSi's 3430cc unit developed some 216bhp and 232lbft of torque propelling it from 0-60mph in 8.4 seconds and on to 135mph.Originally registered on 10th October 1989, this distinctive Zinnobar Red 635 CSi is in very good condition throughout with an equally impressive interior trim in black leather. Owned by the current vendor since 2011 this is clearly a highly cherished and much-loved example. The six-cylinder 3430cc engine runs well and the gearbox operates as it should. Performance on these handsome iconic BMW’s is adequate by any standard, however the beauty of this car lies within the styling. This pillarlessiconic 80’s sportscar is in very good condition, with that imposing shark nose, this is an appreciating classic from BMW and becoming popular with genuine modern classic enthusiasts.
2000 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage VolanteTransmission: manualMileage:11,389 The Renault 5 was launched onto the right hand drive UK market in the autumn of 1972, where, alongside the recently launched Fiat 127, it competed as an imported but more modern alternative to the Mini and Hillman Imp. The 5 borrowed mechanicals from the similarly popular Renault 4 using a longitudinally-mounted engine driving the front wheels. Engines were borrowed from the Renault 4 and larger Renault 8; there was a choice, at launch, between 782cc and 956cc according to price level. The 5TS and 5LS both with the 1,289cc engine from the Renault 12 was added from April 1974. As on the Renault 4, entry level Renault 5’s had their engine sizes increased to 845cc in 1976 and at the top of the range later models had the engine sizes expanded to 1,397cc. The Renault 5 went on to enjoy cult status when the turbo and rear engine Group B derived Maxi cars were introduced.This four-door left hand drive Renault 5 is in very good order throughout and shows a mere 11,389Km on the odometer, this is thought to be correct although not warranted. Having spent its life overseas the bodywork is very solid and the white paintwork is showing to be in good order. We are advised it runs and drives well; the UK registration has been applied for and is expected to be completed prior to auction. Once a common sight on roads throughout Europe these Renault 5’s are surely a future classic.
1955 Bentley R-Type by H.J. MullinerMileage:9,442 The R-Type is the second series of post-war Bentley motorcars and replaced the Mk. VI. Essentially a larger boot version of the Mk. VI. The R-type was a development of the Mk. VI Bentley with several mechanical improvements such as higher rear axle ratios. As with its predecessor, a standard body was available as well as coachbuilt versions by firms including H.J. Mulliner, Park Ward, Harold Radford, Freestone and Webb and others. Even by this date, there was little difference (other than the radiator grilles and the carburation) between the standard Bentley R-Type and the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn, though Bentley was still the more popular sporting marque. Indeed, the vast majority of cars produced were Bentleys with some 2,500 units manufactured during the R-Type's run. During development, it was referred to as the Bentley Mk. VII; even the chassis cards for these cars describe them as Bentley VII's. The R-Type name, which is now usually applied, stems from chassis series RT.This delightful Bentley has been owned within the same family since 1985. The penultimate owner having passed away a couple of years ago, the family transferred ownership into their name. Always having been a much enjoyed and cared example, it was decided during lockdown to try and bring the car back up to a good standard in memory of their late father. Specialist mechanical repairs were carried out which included replacing the head gasket and ensuring the ‘one shot’ lubrication system works correctly. The interior was thoroughly cleaned, with the leather being treated and the wood refurbished. During our inspection, the car started immediately when requested and ran extremely well, the 4566cc engine sounded excellent. We are advised she drives well with no known faults. This stylish, aluminium bodied R-Type, with coachwork by H.J. Mulliner is competitively estimated given the condition of the car and is well worth further inspection.

2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Pro-DriveTransmission: manualMileage:72,600 The WRX (World Rally eXperimental) flat-four engine is turbocharged and develops around 235bhp in initial trim. Relatively modest by today’s standards but anything but in-period, and its lively engine is mated to a manual gearbox and a sophisticated four-wheel-drive system. A relatively lightweight car, it goes like stink and took the motoring world by storm. Rally win followed rally win - and the Brits wanted a piece of the action, importing both saloon and hatchback variants by the container load. The second-generation cars, available from 2000, officially boasted between 261bhp and 276bhp depending on the model, enough to propel the 1,360kg Impreza to a top speed of over 150mph via a 0-62mph time of under five seconds. Rallying legends such as Colin McRae and Richard Burns took the already potent Impreza STi and turned it into an iconic machine, the likes of which we will probably never see again. On a performance-per-pound basis they were extraordinarily cheap when they were new, and a series of upgrades and model changes that encouraged owners to change their cars more frequently than they might otherwise have done. Originally registered on 1st September 2007 this Impreza has been very well cared for. The silver coachwork is in very good order as is the black leather interior. The comprehensive history folder includes the certificate and invoice for the Prodrive Pack in 2007 when the car was only a month old. Also present in the history folder is every previous MoT certificate. A Cat 1 alarm system is fitted (with PIN) and this Subaru comes with the original handbooks and service book with 11 stamps, five of which are by Subaru main dealers. Coil over suspension and a performance exhaust system ensure this is a car that not only handles well but sounds superb. Supplied with a current V5 registration document, a current MoT test certificate valid until 10th April 2023 and two sets of keys. With only three former keepers, this very well-presented Subaru Impreza WRX STi is a great car to drive.
2000 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante Transmission: automaticMileage:62600Introduced in 1993 to the public, the handsome new DB7 was styled by Ian Callum, its lines were evocative of earlier Aston Martin models and elements of the DB4/5/6 could be seen in its design. Arguably one of the most attractive looking cars ever produced by Aston Martin, the DB7 was well received and attracted new customers worldwide with its traditional layout of the curvaceous two-door coupé body. At the Geneva Motor Show in 1999, Aston Martin introduced the six litre Cosworth-designed and built V12 engine, developing 420bhp and accelerating from 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds with a top speed limited to 185mph. Ian Callum enlarged the grille, added fog lamps and restyled the valances to give the car a more aggressive look.First registered on 10th March 2000, this DB7 Vantage Volante has only had two registered owners throughout its 22 year life. Indeed, unusually included in the car's history file, is the receipt to the last keeper for £49,000, who bought the car from HWM Aston Martin in Walton-on-Thames in Surrey. Averaging a mere 2,845 miles per year over the past 22 years, this handsome Aston seems to have led an easy life. Reported by the vendor to run and drive extremely well, the car has recently benefitted from a £1,884 service. Other than the usual service requirements, any other elements highlighted, including re-gassing the air conditioning, were attended to as well. The hood operates perfectly and the car presents well. As well as the history file, the included Owner's book shows a total of 15 stamps for servicing carried out and the car comes supplied with two sets of keys and also included with the car is the private plate, 'ARC 74T'.It is supplied with a V5C registration document, owner's handbook, file of receipts, two sets of keys and a MoT test certificate valid until May 2023. Becoming ever more collectable, these 420bhp V12 DB7's are a British design classic that represent excellent value for money.
2011 Volkswagen Golf GTi Edition 35 DSG Transmission: automaticMileage:29662Following Volkswagen's 30th anniversary edition GTi, the 35th anniversary was celebrated with the GTi Edition 35. Its engine was an updated version of the Mk5 GTi engine (also used in the Mk6 Golf R), a two litre turbocharged engine with 232bhp (24bhp more than the standard GTi) and acceleration from 0-62mph is in 6.6 seconds. A range of cosmetic upgrades and extra standard equipment were fitted, and it also got a unique lower front fascia and Recaro sport seats.This lovely and rare 35 edition from Japan is presented in metallic grey with black leather and Alcantara interior. It comes with a full history and a stamped VW book (from Japan) and has cruise control, climate control, electric folding mirrors, automatic lights, adjustable suspension, trip computer and has the desirable six speed DSG automatic gearbox. A 'hot hatch' indeed with great performance and being the rare 35 edition, its certainly one to consider bearing in mind its low mileage.Interested parties please note that contrary to what is printed in the catalogue and what is on the website, this car does not have a full service history as stated but has service history from 30,000 miles onwards.
2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser Transmission: automaticMileage:60190The Toyota FJ Cruiser is a retro-styled mid-size SUV produced by Toyota since 2006. Introduced as a concept car at the January 2003 North American International Auto Show, the FJ Cruiser was approved for production after positive consumer response and debuted at the January 2005 North American International Auto Show in final production form. It features a short wheelbase, stocky frame, and grille-headlight arrangement much like the original FJ40. Other throwback design cues include a nearly vertical windshield with three windshield wipers for maximum surface area coverage. The FJ's body features rear opening access doors that give a unique look to the SUV. Special high-strength steel was used to give the vehicle side impact protection without the need for a door pillar. ”ŠThe interior of the FJ features many design elements focused on enhancing off-road practicality. All interior surfaces are covered with washable rubber materials to aid in fast cleanup after heavy outdoor use. The FJ also incorporates oversized controls to aid drivers with gloved hands. The three-gauge cluster (with compass, temperature, and inclinometer) as well as the 120 V rear outlet were carried over from the FJ Cruiser concept vehicle as options on the final production model. The Final Edition of the FJ Cruiser went on sale in Japan on 12 September 2017. Sales of the FJ Cruiser were discontinued there on 31 January 2018.This rare and striking example from Japan, is presented in metallic grey with a white roof and has a black faux leather interior. It is fitted with automatic transmission mated to its six-cylinder 4.0 litre engine, permanent four-wheel drive, air conditioning, cruise control, electric windows, diff lock. This SUV is in very good condition throughout and is a rare sight on the UK roads. A superb utility vehicle with versatility of use.
1998 MG FTransmission: manualMileage:60,470 The MGF was the first new model designed as an MG since the MGB that was produced from 1962 to 1980. It was initially designed by the Rover Group during the period it was owned by British Aerospace and was brought to market after the business had been sold to the German car manufacturer BMW. It was powered by a 1.8 Litre K-Series 16-valve engine, the basic having 118 bhp while the more powerful VVC (variable valve control) had 143 bhp. Steve Harper of MGA Developments produced the initial design concept in January 1991 having been inspired by the Jaguar XJR-15 and the Ferrari 250LM, before Rover's in house design team refined the concept under the leadership of Gerry McGovern. An interesting feature of the F was its Hydragas suspension, a system employing interconnected fluid and gas displacers which provided a surprisingly compliant ride but which could be tuned to provide excellent handling characteristics.This MGF was originally registered on 21st November 1998 and has clearly been well cared for. It was off the road from 2019 and has been recently recommissioned by the vendor. A good service history accompanies this MGF and it is thought the odometer reading of 60,470 is correct, although not warranted. Looking resplendent in the colour combination of green with black interior, this MGF is supplied with a V5 registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 7th August 2023 together with a hardtop. A great fun car for a modest outlay.
2001 Bentley Arnage T Transmission: automaticMileage:97471The Arnage T laid claim to the title of world's fastest saloon in 2002, propelling the driver, in total luxury to a top speed of 170mph. Powered by a 6.75 litre twin turbo version of the Rolls-Royce, V8 engine, the nearly three ton car could accelerate from 0-60mph in just 5.5 seconds. The engine was treated to what Bentley described as 'the most thorough re-engineering of its life' producing 451bhp and 645lb/ft of torque. Other changes included the adoption of a 'drive-by-wire' throttle to go hand-in-glove with Bosch's Electronic Stability Program which replaced the Red Label's traction control, but what really gives this nearly three ton car its immense poise is a revised suspension that features 57% more roll stiffness than the Red Label. The car's basic structure is also 10% stiffer which means there are no creaks and squeaks of the sort that distinguished previous generations of Bentleys. Originally registered on 17th December 2001, this lovely Arnage T is finished in the desirable colour combination of Black Sapphire with Cotswold hide interior trim and contrasting white diamond pattern stitching with embroidered Bentley motifs on the headrests. We are informed the car boasts a comprehensive service history and the history file contains this along with many previous MoT test certificates. Supplied with a V5C registration document together with a current MoT test certificate and the original book pack, this comprehensively optioned luxury saloon represents incredible value for money and a delightfully luxurious motoring experience.Contrary to what is published in the catalogue and on our website, this Bentley does not come with a comprehensive service history, original book pack or previous MoT test certificates.
1994 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Transmission: automaticMileage:62010Stuttgart supplied these grand-tourers with high levels of comfort including a fabric convertible top as well as a colour-matched and manually detachable hardtop that could be fitted over the stored fabric convertible roof. Other advancements included an electronically controlled damping and the famous hidden, automatically extending roll-over bar. These incredibly accomplished, five litre sportscars represent a truly advanced way to travel.Presented in blue with contrasting biscuit leather trim this two owner from new SL500 was first registered to its original owner on 11th May 1994. When the car was ordered, the vendor was invited to Stuttgart to view his particular SL in production. Supplied with the original book pack, including maintenance book, which has 11 main dealer stamps until 2007 and 42,726 miles. At this point a local garage, Eaton Square in Belgravia SW1 continued maintenance on a regular basis, the last being carried out in February. At this point the car was MoT'd and valeted. The car boasts the hardtop and wind guard and with just 62,010 miles, is a low mileage example of a two owner car. The private plate L500 JJM is also with the car presenting we think, very good value for the larger engine SL R129 in possibly the best colour combination.
1968 MG C Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:16321The MGC was the first 'high performance' version of the MGB. From early in the design stages of the MGB there was an intention to create high performance variants, using a range of Vee engines that did not make it to production. The MGC was much more than a tuned MGB, in fact it was a completely re-engineered car, but retained many visual connections to the MGB. On the outside the MGC was often mistaken for an MGB as the only visual difference was the heavily bulged bonnet with a transverse chrome strip that accentuated the bulges, and the standard use of 15” wheels instead of the 14” used on the MGB. Inside there were very few differences between the B and C, other than the 140mph speedometer and tachometer with a yellow and red banding, set against lower RPM than the MGB. One of just 1,403 home market supplied cars, this Mineral Blue example with overdrive gearbox was delivered to University Motors of Epsom in 1968 and then sold on to Mr. J. Edwards on 12th February of that year. Mr Edwards kept the car until the late 1980's, when it was purchased by a Mr. William Scholfield, who shared and enjoyed the car with his son until 2007. Reportedly only used on sunny days throughout Mr. Scholfield's ownership, it was however treated to running restoration work throughout the 1990's, with well regarded Oselli Engineering modifying the cylinder head for unleaded fuel and upgrading it to Stage 1 tune, along with upgrading the camshaft to aid with engine pickup. The bodywork was also repaired where required and resprayed by Falla Classics in Bournemouth in 1997. To aid in the drivability of the car, Oselli fitted a quick rack steering rack along with stiffer antiroll bar and telescopic dampers all round. A servo has also been fitted to aid braking. Amongst the many receipts in the car's history file are also included the car's original BMC 'Passport to Service' booklet which shows the service stamps for the first few years with University Motors, (and later receipts for more work carried out by them in the early 1980's), as well as a copy of the original green logbook. The vendor reports the car to run and drive extremely well and certainly presents very well and is a rare example of an MGC that has led a pampered life.Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, impressive history file, MoT test certificates dating back to the mid 1980s, owner's handbook and manual, along with a photographic record of its restoration, file of receipts and a current MoT test certificate valid until July 2023. Such a beautifully presented car, with such an impressive history file is hard to find, especially being one of the 1,403 UK supplied home market cars.
1958 Austin Healey 100-6 Transmission: manualMileage:34099Introduced for 1956, the Austin Healey 100/6 represented the most radical step forward in the development of the 'Big Healey'. Despite its initial success, sales of the original Austin Healey 100 had begun to decline by the mid 1950's and so the model was revamped as the 100/6 using the BMC 2.6 litre C-Series six-cylinder engine replacing the four-cylinder Austin Atlantic engine. This six-cylinder, pushrod engine produced 102bhp, twelve horsepower more than its predecessor, though the inevitable weight gain meant that there was little improvement in performance, the cars top speed remaining around 103mph. At the same time, the wheelbase was increased by two inches from 7' 6” to 7' 8”, which enabled the inclusion of two seats in the rear of the BN4 variant. Although stylistically very similar to the earlier model the 100/6 was nevertheless easily distinguishable by its 'crinkle' radiator grille and the bonnet top air intake. In 1957, an improved engine became available and this 117bhp unit was fitted to all the newly introduced BN6 two-seater roadsters. Top speed improved to 111mph and 1.7 seconds was cut from the 0-60mph time.One of only 118 right hand drive cars built for the home market, this rare two-seater 100/6 left the factory on 13th June 1958 for its destination, Marshalls Limited in Cambridge. Not to be confused with a standard 100/6, MSV 500 was rebuilt by leading Healey race preparers Denis Welch Motorsport in the mid 1980's with an aluminium body that had been custom made for Healey racer and collector Andrew Usher along with a period hardtop, as well as a mohair soft top hood, rare and extremely comfortable period style lightweight 100S Le Mans style seats and a Denis Welch Stage 3 fast road blueprinted engine that included; a lightened and balanced flywheel, gas flowed cylinder head, forged pistons, Denis Welch inlet and exhaust manifold, high flow aluminium radiator, fully baffled competition works style sump, competition clutch, side exhaust and 2” competition SU carburettors. Financial issues reportedly forced Mr. Usher to sell the car shortly after its rebuild to a relative of Denis Welch's who kept the car for the next 26 years, having it looked after throughout by Denis Welch. Given its specification, the car could easily be adapted to race with only a few safety items to be incorporated. Indeed, the engine is essentially already race ready, making this car eligible for a number of historic events both on road and track.Supplied with a V5 registration document, BMI Heritage Certificate, original chassis plate, file of receipts and a MoT test certificate valid until August 2023. With an estimated 175bhp on tap and in a lightweight aluminium bodied car, this wonderful and unique Healey is sure to impress anyone lucky enough to take it for a drive.
1965 MG B Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:87495The MGB was launched in May 1962 to replace the MGA and was introduced as a four-cylinder roadster with a coupé added in 1965. It was a relatively modern design at the time of its introduction, utilising a monocoque structure instead of the traditional 'body-on-frame' construction used on both the MGA and MG T-types. The lightweight design reduced manufacturing costs while adding to overall vehicle strength. Manual windows were standard and a comfortable driver's compartment offered plenty of legroom. The MGB's performance was considered brisk at the time of its introduction with a 0-60mph time of just over 11 seconds; this was aided by the relatively light weight of the car. Handling was one of the MGB's strong points. The three-bearing 1798cc, B-Series engine produced 95bhp at 5,400rpm with the engine upgraded in October 1964 to a five-bearing crankshaft to improve reliability. The MGB was one of the first cars to feature controlled crumple zones designed to protect the driver and passenger at a 30mph impact.This early, desirable, 'pull handle' restored MGB roadster with overdrive has been fully maintained until the car was taken off the road in 2005. Prior to going into hibernation this MG had substantial amounts of money spent on it. It received a restoration in 1988, when the engine was replaced with a genuine BMC 'Gold Seal' unit. In 2011 the car was recovered from the barn where it was being stored and sold as a sound restoration project. It went into storage until it was purchased again in 2017 and has spent the last five years undergoing a complete rebuild by an MG enthusiast. The engine has had the big end bearings replaced, new piston rings and the cylinder head overhauled. The gearbox was rebuilt by Hardy Engineering Transmissions Ltd. They also checked the overdrive unit and the rear differential. A new wiring loom was supplied and fitted and at the same time the polarity was changed from positive to negative earth. This lovely MGB roadster has been repainted in its original colour Tartan Red and has black leather interior. It is also supplied with a new hood and has a tonneau cover. In the history file are a large number of invoices going back to 1988, old MoT test certificates up to 2005, the V5 registration document, an old V5 and the Heritage Certificate. This represents an opportunity to purchase a car that will give the new owner good, reliable motoring in this popular marque.
2000 Mercedes-Benz G500 ex-Eric ClaptonTransmission: automaticMileage: 94,000 The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagen, short for Geländewagen (or cross-country vehicle), is a four-wheel drive vehicle/sport utility vehicle and characterised by its boxy styling and body-on-frame construction. It utilizes three fully locking differentials, one of the few vehicles to have such a feature. Originally developed as a military vehicle and offered as a civilian version in 1979, it proved so competent and popular that demand has ensured it is still in production today. Demand came from all over the world with such patronage as the Vatican and the, now famous, series of 'Popemobiles' to use on the Paris-Dakar Rally and many exploratory trips including one to Siberia, the worlds coldest region and driving a standard model traveling 19,000km without breakdown in temperatures as low as -63°F.Presented in brilliant silver with black leather trim, this desirable G500 was initially registered to Eric Clapton in September 2000 in Antigua, with the purpose to be used we are informed at his famous Crossroads rehab on the Caribbean Island. The G500 was infact one of three gifted to him by Mercedes-Benz. The purpose of the car was, we believe, to collect the rich and famous from the private airfield and chauffeur them to the Willoughby Bay Centre in luxury.Documentation including the Antigua and Barbuda registration certificates with Mr Clapton’s name can be found within the history file. Remaining in the ownership of the ‘Slowhand’ until 2019. Then our vendor purchased and returned the car back to the UK; where it has been serviced, re commissioned including a recent new fuel pump, starter motor and steering damper, and obtained a UK V5 and MoT test certificate until August 2023.With rugged good looks and a proven reputation for both on and off-road driving, this comes with a wealth of luxury items that easily brings this model up to date with other comparable offerings. Such as: factory air conditioning, heated seats front and rear, remote central locking, electric heated mirrors, rear factory parking sensors and privacy glass. A new eight speaker Alpine sound system with amplifier has been fitted and it sits on matching Michelin LTX tyres. Couple with the added bonus of such celebrity ownership, let alone the list of famous celebrities that this car may have transported such as Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, Colin Farrell and Billy Joel to name a few this will surely be a popular example.Previously owned by Eric ClaptonDesirable 500 petrol engine
1974 Lamborghini Espada Series III Transmission: manualMileage:19989The 1967 Geneva Motor Show event saw the unveiling of the sensational Lamborghini Marzal. A concept car which was seen as an approach to a four-seat Lamborghini. A forerunner for the successful distinct Espada. Named after a matador's sword, the Espada was styled along lines similar to those of the concept Marzal but carried a 4.0 litre V12 up front, first seen in the 400GT and Islero. Introduced in January 1970, the Series II cars came with an extra 25bhp, 155mph top speed, an improved dashboard layout and the option of power assisted steering. The dashboard was revised yet again in late 1972 for the Series III, which also incorporated power steering as standard, up-rated brakes, minor suspension improvements, and a restyled front grille. Espada production ceased in 1978 after 1,217 of these imposing cars had been built. Even today there are few cars that can match the on-road presence of the Espada.First registered new in South Africa on 1st June 1974, this remarkably original Espada found its way to the UK in 2014. Having not been subjected to the British climate for most of its life, the bodywork is incredibly solid. Unlike so many Espada's, this car retains many of the incredibly rare trim parts, so often lost or removed from cars. Parts like the bumpers, windscreen surrounds, rear screen rubber, steering wheel and fuse box cover have all survived and remain with the car. After the car's import to the UK, it was sent to the highly regarded Lamborghini expert Colin Clarke Engineering, who went through the car servicing and repairing whatever was required. £12,000 was spent with Colin Clarke in 2015 having this service, before having a further £4,350 spent in 2016 with SMDG Ferrari in Cranleigh. Another £660 was spent back with Colin Clarke in 2020 to have the car's carburettors set up and the engine tuned. The brakes were also rebuilt in 2020 by the then owner before the car was sold to the vendor, who has enjoyed it as part of his collection ever since. Indeed, these wonderful Lamborghini V12 engines sound fabulous when accelerating - so evocative!Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, owner's handbook, sales brochure and file of receipts. The guide price offers incredible value for money when compared to the cost of restoration and it is unusual to find an Espada that is both so solid and original. Presenting very well, this lovely Lamborghini is sure to turn heads wherever it goes.
1968 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk. II Transmission: manualMileage:31026The motoring correspondent of The Times reported in May 1963 the Mini while a popular second car in many households was no longer strictly the fashion, the Grande Luxe Mini de Ville by Radford had taken over. On test in London, he reported, it attracted more attention than a Ferrari Berlinetta with its special colour scheme and trim, sliding sunroof, radiator grille with two more recessed lights, special sound insulation and electric windows. The car tested by The Times also had white leather upholstery and deep lambswool carpets, tachometer, ammeter, oil gauge, clock, headlamp flasher and water temperature gauge. Further extras were: a laminated wood steering wheel, automatic red caution lights on open doors, a reading light, cigar lighter, twin-speaker radio and an air blower to demist the rear window. After the 1967 Earls Court Motor Show The Times recorded that Captains of Industry ordered them, painted them to match their Rolls-Royces and gave them to their wives. Pop Stars and West End playboys presumably invested in them as a status symbols. The reporter tested 'a typical Mini de Ville', a 1275 Mini-Cooper S with an engine performance pack providing up to about 110 m.p.h. Outwardly the only distinction was the magnesium alloy wheels, sunroof and non-standard paint. Inside absolutely everything seemed like a refugee from a Rolls-Royce.This exceptional 1968 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk. II has all the hallmarks of being a superb example built by Radford, but no records to prove this can be found. Purchased by a private collector in 2016 where it remained until now only covering 70 miles in this time, but still being fully maintained. The previous owner purchased the car around 2012 from a long-term owner who lived in Derby. Between his purchase and the car being sold in 2016 he sent it to marque specialists Paul Preston Classic Mini Restoration for repainting and restoring as necessary. Stripping the car down and removing the original paint, it was found that the body was sound and rust free, the coachbuilders work was to the highest 'Rolls-Royce' standards where the Mk. II body shell had been de-seemed and lead filled including the smoothed front panel. The car was repainted to the highest of standards in the original colour of maroon. Refitted the excellent bespoke cream and piped red, Connolly leather interior, the burr walnut dashboard with a full compliment of Smith gauges and felt roof lining, A and C pillar panels and Mota Lita wood rimmed steering wheel. Other Radford features include a Webasto folding sunroof and grill recessed Lucas spotlights. During this time the engine and gearbox were overhauled. This lovely Cooper S is supplied with a V5 registration document, the heritage certificate confirming that it is a matching numbers car and file with history.
1966 Ford Mustang FIA 'Notchback' Transmission: manualMileage:UK saloon racing in the 1960s was epitomised by the battles between the American V8s and the British Lotus Ford Cortinas and Austin Coopers of the day. They were driven, in the British Saloon Car Championship (pre-BTCC), by current Grand-Prix stars such as Jim Clark, Jack Brabham and Graham Hill, as well as saloon car specialists like Frank Gardener, Brian Muir, Sir Gawaine Bailie, Roy Pierpoint and Jack Sears. It was an exciting and evocative period of racing and the crowds enjoyed the closeness of the racing brought about by the contrasting abilities of the nimble Cortinas and Minis and the straight line speed of the V8s.Imported to the UK in 2010, this 1966 dry state Arizona sourced Mustang, was bought with the sole intention of being built into a top specification FIA race car. The car was stripped and then acid dipped to give a lightweight and ideal starting point. Built from the ground up by Any Yool, the car was purchased by the vendor in 2016 after the car had won its class at the 2015 Spa 6 hour race. Since then, the car has been subject to intense development with no stone left unturned. The supplied history file shows this development and the cost that comes with that, amounting to well over £150,000, excluding the cost of the car in 2016.Now only offered for sale to help fund a FIA TVR Griffith project, this ultimate specification FIA Mustang is available at a fraction of the cost to build a comparable car, with all of the development work having already carried out. No expense has been spared since the vendors ownership, with help coming first from V8 specialist Nigel Reuben Racing and more recently the legendary Alan Mann Racing team. In fact, Steve Soper recently took the car for a couple of laps of Donington on a test day and immediately managed a 1:22:82 lap in traffic, on only one flying lap. Given that his qualifying lap in April of this year in his own car, was only 3 tenths of a second quicker, shows the car definitely has the capability to compete for race wins. The specification of this car is truly impressive, boasting amongst other things; an Inconel exhaust system, (an extremely light and expensive metal used to make Formula 1 exhausts), Kenny Coleman EDA FIA specification engine, new rear axle, new gearbox, new Alan Mann custom dampers and new VBox Lite datalogger and video system along with its FIA technical passport valid through until the end of 2028. Such is the quality of the car that it was invited to race in the 2021 Pierpoint Cup at the Goodwood Members Meeting, where the vendor shared the car with racing legend Jochen Mass, (whose signature can be seen on the glove box).Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, file of receipts, FIA papers, Alan Mann set-up information folder and eight spare wheels. Road registered and wanting for nothing, this FIA Mustang presents an opportunity to acquire a fully developed car that is eligible for all the top events including Goodwood and Masters Series, amongst many others.
1969 Porsche 911E FIA Race Car Transmission: manualMileage:82764The original 911 series is often cited as the most successful competition car ever, especially when its variations are included; namely the powerful 911 derived 935 which won Le Mans as well as other major sports cars races. The original Porsche 911 with its famous and distinctive design was mechanically notable for being rear-engine and air-cooled. Production would run from Autumn 1963 until 1989. For the 1969 model-year 'B-series' 911, Porsche lengthened the wheelbase by 57mm and began manufacturing the engine cases in magnesium to save approximately 10kgs hung over the rear wheels and replaced the single battery with two smaller batteries mounted either side of the front compartment improving weight distribution throughout the car. They achieved their goal, improving the handling and increased performance with a new Bosch mechanical fuel injection system standard on the 911E and 911S models.Although first registered in July of 1970, this 911E was actually manufactured in 1969 and was supplied with the new Bosch mechanical fuel injection system. Built into a race car from the ground up over a four-year period from 2008 by highly regarded and renowned Porsche 911 specialist Steve Monk of Bodywerks, the car is a high-quality example with front running capability. The quality of Monk's work can be seen throughout the car, with his signature attention to detail ever present. The supplied FIA technical passport is valid for another six years until the end of 2028. Running on an original set of Fuchs alloy wheels, sprung by Bilstein dampers and mounted on Elephant solid bushes, this car is not the usual tired racer and is ready to win straight away. Last run at the Spa Summer Classic in July of this year, the car ran without fault and is now only for sale due to a home move. The supplied files show over £53,000 worth of receipts, which represent only part of the expenditure over the years. Parts and labour have only ever been supplied by the best including; Tuthill, Tognolla, Bob Watson, Tech 9 and of course, Steve Monk. The included rebuilt original engine maintains the cars 'matching numbers' status and still sports its MFI system, whilst the installed race engine runs on carburettors to FIA specification. The race engine was built to a high specification with Jonny Middleston cylinder heads, Kent race camshafts, lightened flywheel, 215mm clutch, billet conrods and competition pistons. Included in the file are also Dyno sheets, the most recent of which showing maximum engine power of 199.2bhp, (on the race engine).Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, file of receipts, FIA papers, photographic record of the build and the original rebuilt engine. A rare opportunity to own a road registered and very capable race car, built by the best, at a fraction of the price it would cost to build today.
1997 Land Rover 90 Wolf Ex-MoDTransmission: manualMileage:117,000Especially built for the Ministry of Defence, it is understood that only approximately 8,000 Defender Wolf’s were made and a large number of those would have been hardtops and/or the 110 variety or left hand drive. These right hand drive soft top or full tilt examples are particularly rare. Sources suggest the upgrades to the standard defender put the Wolf price to the MoD at around £40,000 in 1997/8. Upgrades included a 2” ride height increase due to heavy duty suspension design whilst the chassis on the HD models (Heavy Duty) are said to be eight times stronger than standard and fitted with a heavy duty roll cage, propshaft protection between chassis and hub and heavy duty bumpers. These vehicles also feature sealed headlights with breather pipes to top of windscreen, 113bhp, 300TDi engine with no electronics except fuel pump solenoid, rust proofed chassis from new, gearbox cooling system, reinforced front bulkhead, rails and sills, reinforced Salisbury rear axle and standard reinforced front axle and uprated diffs, 80 litre reinforced fuel tank, very tough and heavy duty Wolf wheels, convoy light system with a light illuminating the white painted rear differential, NATO towing hitch, 24v electrical system plus 24v generator and side mounted spare wheel to name but a few modifications. A few Wolf Defenders have been de-commissioned by the forces and are now in civilian hands but are quite rare, especially ones that have not suffered damage and in excellent condition. Virtually all appear to have been very well maintained mechanically by the MoD as would be expected.This 90 Wolf was originally registered to the Ministry of Defence and used by the Royal Air Force, the military registration mark was KA71AA. It was stationed in various regions all within the UK. Once de-commissioned, this Land Rover was purchased privately and has subsequently been restored to a very high standard, bearing only a few resemblances to the RAF specification Wolf. During the restoration the doors were replaced with Series One doors, giving this a slightly more authentic, rugged Land Rover feel. The interior has been retrimmed in leather and heated seats have been fitted. Now painted in metallic grey and fitted with side steps, lamp protectors, wing protectors and a new canvas roof to the rear, this 90 Wolf is certainly a head turner. Supplied with a V5 registration document and paperwork confirming the cars interesting history, this Land Rover has to be seen to be appreciated, the quality is exceptional.
1964 MG B Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:1968The MGB is a staple of everyday life. After launch in 1962, it went on to become one of Britain's best-selling and most loved sports cars, bringing stylish design, an exciting drive and everyday usability to thousands of drivers who were glad to switch from sensible saloons. Due to their popularity and reliability, the club support is excellent with many are still on the road especially as their fixed head cousins still very affordable. 'Safety Fast' was the slogan which summed up this well-balanced sports car, especially with front disc brakes as standard.This clean example has been restored but, thankfully, still carries some patina both externally and internally, indeed the interior has been beautifully prepared with the red leather seating and contrasting green piping matching well with the exterior paintwork and black double-duck soft top. The painted wire-wheels are in good condition as are indeed the tyres that surround them including the two-eared spinners that keep everything on. In 2016, this car was sent to Surrey Sports & Classics Limited, MG specialists, where it underwent a thorough restoration costing in excess of £18,000 with invoices to show. (The bonnet seems to have been in a hailstorm although, I'm informed, mobile 'paint-less dent repair services' exist. This will be attempted to rectify prior to the sale). The engine looks great and is reported to run well and. With a new 12-month MoT test certificate, this is to be offered here without reserve.
1961 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster (Flat floor)Transmission: automaticLaunched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type was nothing short of a revelation. With its heady blend of supercar performance, breathtaking styling and low price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamoring. While early sports car racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement its reputation. Built as a monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension (torsion-bar front/coil-sprung rear) rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent road holding and handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head, its indomitable 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft of torque. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox (with synchromesh on 2nd, 3rd and 4th), it reputedly enabled the E-type to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph, the E-type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar.This Jaguar has been stored for a number of years and will require a full restoration. The vendor started some of the preparatory jobs, however, due to other work pressures, he has decided to part with this flat floor E-Type. Items like the heater box, headlamps and washer bottle have been removed although they come with the car in separate boxes, the vendor has prepared a full inventory of parts. We believe the car is complete with all the ancillaries; this genuine UK supplied right hand drive flat floor example is certainly a project that is well worth completing as it retains all the features from these early E-Types.The Jaguar Drivers Club along with other Owners Clubs ensure parts are in plentiful supply along with any help and advice that may be required. The car is sold without a V5 document, however the Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirms the car to have been manufactured on 18th October 1961 and supplied by Ritchies in Glasgow. More importantly, this is a matching numbers example. The registration number of VSN 534 is still registered according to the HPI on file and assigned to this early Jaguar E-Type which would indicate obtaining a V5 document should be a relatively simple process. Without doubt Series I E-Types are aesthetically beautiful and whilst this example requires a bit more than a T-Cut and polish to bring it back to its former glory, the finished article will be well worth the effort and once again a fabulous flat floor E-Type will grace our roads! A matching numbers exampleAppears to be complete with a number of parts in boxes
1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL 'Pagoda' Transmission: automaticMileage:59035In 1963, Mercedes-Benz debuted an all-new roadster to replace the 190 SL and 300 SL - the 230 SL. The 230 SL 'Pagoda' was a stunning Paul Bracq designed two-seat convertible that followed Mercedes' new design language, featuring crisp lines and upright headlights. To save on weight, the bonnet, door-skins, boot lid, and tonneau cover were all composed of aluminium. The nickname 'Pagoda' was quickly adopted thanks to the slightly concave roof on the optional removable hardtop that resembled a pagoda roof. In 1967, Mercedes introduced the third and final iteration of the 'Pagoda', the 280 SL, and it then became apparent that some cars don't change, they just get better. The 280 featured the same modified W111 chassis with a rear swing axle and independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Power came from a 2.8 litre version of Mercedes inline-six and used Bosch fuel injection. A charming model with capable handling and braking thanks to its suspension and all-wheel disc brakes. These roadsters also have one of the most beautiful bodies produced in the 1960s. Thanks to their robust inline-six and their luxurious Mercedes interior, they are wonderful cars to be driven and enjoyed.This exceptional, left hand drive, 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL 'Pagoda' was imported from the United States in 2012 as a completely rust-free example and fitted with period air conditioning. It was registered in the UK in October of the same year with an odometer reading of 55,454 miles, it was sold to the current owner a year later. He used it for a couple of years before putting the car away in storage with current mileage on the clock. The car has just had a complete, ground-up restoration by classic and custom car specialists Hot Rod Technologies based in Hayes, Middlesex. Whilst in restoration the car was brought up to European specification, this included removing the side marker lamps and fitting European style headlights. Finished in the fetching original colour blue, code number 903 with matching hardtop, new dark blue soft top roof and cream leather interior. This lovely Mercedes-Benz 'Pagoda' is supplied with a V5 registration document and photographs showing the restoration. These Pagodas are always a pleasure to drive, particularly in good weather when the roof is down and the smooth six-cylinder engine can be enjoyed.https://youtu.be/AHB4cOarPUg
1995 Nissan Skyline GT R33 Transmission: manualMileage:16928 The R33 incarnation of the GT-R is still a pure sports car experience, but now aided by some of the most revolutionary handling technology to influence modern performance driving.The new R33 Skyline GT-R was launched in January 1995 with a base GT-R and the V Spec model which offered a sportier suspension set-up resulting in lower ground clearance, and also featured the newer ATTESA E-TS Pro all-wheel drive system, which included an Active Limited-Slip Differential.At the heart of the V-spec was the ATTESA-ETS Pro Electronic Torque Split System which, at the time, made it arguably the most technologically advanced production car in the world. The system was conceived in the 1990s for the JTCC to enable some 600bhp to be fed through the wheels and on to the racetrack efficiently. The V Spec also featured an active LSD on the rear axle which further aided traction by calculating the optimum torque-split between the left and right rear wheels, variable from fully locked to totally free. Working along with ATTESA-ETS PRO, is the SUPER HICAS rear-wheel steering. This uses a series of sensors to monitor vehicle motion, rate of turn and the driver's action on the steering wheel. Complex software then compares this information to the computer predictions of the car's ideal turning characteristics, adjusting the angle of the rear wheels to reflect the driver's intentions. The result of this type of technology? Neutral steering and unrivalled cornering capabilities.The engine in the R33 was nearly identical to the previous R32 using the same turbochargers and the same specification for the manual gearbox, although the synchros were made to be stronger.The increased body rigidity and improved handling potential necessitated several specially designed cross members being incorporated into the monocoque and extra torsion bars were added to the multi-link suspension to further enhance stability. Working closely with Bridgestone technicians to perfect the Potenza tyres, Nissan put the prototype R33 GT-R through its paces in all weathers at the notorious Nürburgring, earning them a daring reputation amongst other manufacturers. To equalise front/rear weight distribution, the bonnet and front wings were made of aluminium instead of steel and the battery was fitted at the base of the car's boot, lowering the centre of gravity and further improving handling. The braking system was designed by Italy's famous Brembo Spa, suppliers to many of the world's Formula 1 teams at this time. Four-piston calipers were fitted on the front with two-piston calipers on the rear to bite into the discs with a diamond shaped ventilation bores which increased the surface area to aid heat dissipation.This, Japanese imported, superb example of the fearsome Skyline is presented in Midnight Purple with grey/blue cloth interior. It is powered by the mighty 2.5 six cylinder turbocharged engine. Inside the Skyline GT-R, form followed function. Mono-form bucket seats with integrated headrests that are lightweight yet immensely tough provide the ideal driving position and supported the body against the G-forces endured under hard acceleration and cornering. The car comes with a full service history and has recently had its timing belt and auxiliary belts changed as well as having new wheels and tyres fitted also. Since being imported from Japan in 1999, the car has only had one UK owner and has been beautifully kept in this time having been dry stored with air conditioning, from then until today. This Skyline is in superb condition throughout and will come to auction with a new MoT. A true 'Wolf in sheep's clothing'! The odometer is in kilometers but translated it reads 16,928 miles. To note, the same model has just been sold in the USA for circa £175,000.
2009 Volkswagen Golf GTi 'Pirelli' DSG Transmission: automaticMileage:55712The Volkswagen Golf Mk. 5 was the fifth generation of the Volkswagen Golf and the successor to the Mk. 4. Sharing the Volkswagen Group A5 platform, it debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in October 2003 and went on sale in Europe one month later. The GTI comes with VW's four-cylinder 2.0L Turbo engine (FSI) which gives it 197 bhp. Transmissions include a six-speed manual or six-speed DSG. The Mk. 5 is now regarded as probably the best incarnation of the legendary GTi after the original Mk. 1 of 1976-1983 and is fast acquiring modern classic status.This lovely, limited edition 'Pirelli' Mk 5 GTi is presented in black, with black leather/Alcantara interior with yellow stitching, and bearing the eponymous Pirelli design in the centre of the seats which looks superb. It comes with a full history with all books present, two keys, power steering, climate control, cruise control, electric windows and electric folding mirrors. It is also fitted with the desirable six speed automatic DSG gearbox. It was last serviced 4000 miles ago in Japan and is in very good condition throughout.
1989 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5 16V CosworthTransmission: manualMileage:90,500In 1983, Mercedes-Benz introduced the Cosworth 2.3 16V into their range and the new cars were substantially different from the other 190 models. The body kit reduced the drag coefficient and the steering wheel was smaller than that on other 190s, whilst the fuel tank was enlarged to 70 litres. The Getrag five-speed, manual gearbox was unique to the 16 valve and featured a 'dog-leg' first gear. An enlarged 2.5 litre engine replaced the 2.3 in 1988 and offered double-row timing chains to fix the unreliable single chains on the early 2.3s. The power output was up by 17bhp with a slight increase in torque. It is debated whether the 2.5 engine was developed and built by Mercedes-Benz or by Cosworth … Interestingly, they were not keen to broadcast the fact that their most sporting saloon car had an engine developed by a British company. The suspension on the 16 valve models is very different from the standard 190 and as well as being lower and stiffer, it has larger anti-roll bars, harder bushes and hydraulic self-levelling suspension on the rear allowing the rear ride-height to remain constant even when the car is fully loaded.Presented in Smoke Silver with contrasting Black leather interior, this example features the desirable manual gearbox. Recommissioned in 2021 following a decade in storage, this Mercedes-Benz had £6,288 spent on it including a new battery, fuel distributor, clutch master / slave cylinders, spark plugs, injectors and brake calipers etc. In addition, the self-levelling rear suspension was fettled and the engine tuned. Currently showing some 90,500 miles, this impressive 190E boasts the original tool kit, spare wheel, owner’s manual, service booklet (the latter carrying sixteen stamps) and old MOT certificates from 1999-2011 in a large history file. Offered with an MOT Valid until 09 March 2023 a real wolf in sheep’s clothing.*Interested parties should note that the current registration does not come with the car and that a new one will be issued.Interested parties please note that this Lot is not sold with its most recent V5C however this has been applied for and will arrive in due course; we will forward this onto the successful bidder.
2005 Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Coupe Transmission: automaticMileage:3357The SLR McLaren, introduced in November 2003, was Mercedes-Benz's foray into the world of the supercar, alongside such cars as the Porsche Carrera GT and the Ferrari Enzo. It was developed in collaboration with the McLaren Technology Centre which, at the time, was partially owned by Mercedes-Benz. While Ferrari and Porsche pursued creating the best all-out supercars that the world had ever seen, Mercedes-Benz and McLaren attempted to create a car that coupled the best aspects of supercars with that of grand tourers. Engineers at Mercedes-Benz and McLaren took care to place the V8 as far back as possible in the chassis in order to improve the car's handling, giving the SLR near-perfect weight distribution. The SLR's engine produces 617bhp at 6,500rpm, thanks to a Lysholm-type twin-screw supercharger. A dash from 0-60mph took 3.8 seconds and the car leads to a quarter mile in just over 11 seconds with a top speed of 206mph. Its AMG Speedshift R transmission provides three manual modes to suit the owner's style of driving. Other remarkable technical features include the Sensotronic 'brake by wire' system, carbon-ceramic disc brakes and an automatic airbrake which can bring the SLR to a screeching halt from 120mph to a dead stop in less than 240 feet.This Mercedes-Benz SLR was manufactured in 2005 and presented in silver, typically synonymous with the Silver Arrows. This low mileage McLaren is in a condition commensurate with such few miles on the clock. The cockpit area of a SLR is a thing of beauty and to drive such a car is a memorable experience. The ultra-comfortable sports seats and luxurious interior are finished in black leather complementing the striking silver exterior. The SLR Coupé is a very versatile vehicle, comfortable to drive at 30mph, yet simply stunning to drive at high speed. The fabulous engine fires up at the press of a button on the gear lever which is reminiscent of a 'jet fighter' and drives with no known faults. Built in the UK and then shipped to the U.A.E, this SLR was then imported back to the UK in 2012 to our private owner.Recently MoT tested with a UK V5C registration document, this is truly a collectable example with circa 2,085 miles from new. Whether you are driving to your local restaurant or to the South of France, there can be few more exciting ways to travel than a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.
