1989 Volkswagen Golf Mk. II Van Transmission: manualMileage:99000In May 1974, Volkswagen presented the first-generation Golf as a modern front-wheel drive, long-range replacement for the Volkswagen Beetle. Later Golf variations included the Golf GTI 'hot hatch' introduced in June 1976, a diesel powered version from September 1976, the Jetta notchback saloon in October 1979 and from the end of 1979 the Golf cabriolet built by Karmann. September 1983 saw the introduction of the second-generation Volkswagen Golf, the Mk. II, that grew slightly in terms of wheelbase, exterior and interior dimensions while retaining, in a more rounded form, the Mk. I's overall look.This Golf van was originally registered on 1st August 1989 and even though it is a van, it has rear seats fitted to it. The condition of this exceedingly rare Volkswagen is excellent, it is remarkably original, with the original paint rubbing through to the primer in places. The current owner rescued the van and has spent the last 12 months recommissioning it, this includes a new head gasket, engine sump, radiator and water pump. The brakes have also been overhauled including new brake pipes and she has been shod with new tyres. Mk. II Golf's are rare, original condition is even rarer but a van! When was the last time you saw one?

2003 Bentley Arnage T Transmission: automaticMileage:125418The Arnage T can lay claim to the title of world's fastest saloon, needing all but the last two spots on its 170mph speedometer. It is powered by another version of the 6.75 litre Rolls-Royce, V8 engine but treated to what Bentley described as 'the most thorough re-engineering of its life'. 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.This lovely two owner example is presented in Silver Storm with Linen leather interior. The servicing was carried out by Broughtons of Surrey up until 2010 with invoices totalling £8083.54 and from 2010 to 2022 the car was looked after by N.Sandell Rolls Royce and Bentley specialists with in invoices totalling £32,853.80 - which shows clearly that this rare and sought after Bentley Arnage T has indeed been kept with no expense spared in its lifetime. The present owner, who is only  the second owner having purchased the car in 2005,  has been the only driver predominantly and being generally the only individual in the car has resulted in the interior being in excellent general condition. A great luxury tourer which ouzes opulence but has terrific performance to match. Rare indeed!

2004 Bentley Continental GT Transmission: automaticMileage:92000The Bentley Continental GT was the first car released by Volkswagen AG after their acquisition of the company in 1998 and was unveiled at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, followed by Le Mans, Goodwood Festival of Speed and the annual Bentley Drivers Club meeting at Silverstone. The car differed significantly from the previous Continental R & T models in terms of its concept; although much of the car is hand-assembled, this Bentley is made in significantly larger numbers than previously. As a result, the price at launch was substantially less than the Continental R, thus exposing the car to a much wider and new customer base as a more affordable car. The Continental GT is equipped with a six litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine and produces 552bhp at 6,100rpm, and is capable of travelling from 0-62mph in an impressive 4.8 seconds. Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive is standard.Originally registered on the 21st July 2004 this wonderful example of an early GT is presented in Cypress Green with Savannah hide, and we are informed by our vendor in very good condition throughout having been maintained by the main dealer network within the last four years.  This example has been well cared for and is presented with an MoT test certificate until May 2023, the vendor stating the six litre W12 drives fabulously. Sitting on four matching Pirelli tyres with unmarked original Bentley alloys this car can deliver you in luxury from 0-60 in under five seconds. Continental GT's are incredible value for money and combine opulence with speed like no other. This example is, without doubt, incredible value and sensibly estimated.

2011 Volkswagen Golf GTi Edition 35 Transmission: automaticMileage:38273Following 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 Japanese imported example is presented in grey with grey cloth interior and comes with electric windows, cruise control, Recaro sports seats, special trim, and air conditioning with climate control. Its supercharged two litre engine is mated to a six speed DSG gearbox. The bumpers and sills are reprofiled, there are a pair of discrete chrome 35 badges on each wing, 35 badges on the headrests, red-edged seatbelts and the legendary Golf ball gearknob is back. Like the Golf R, the Edition 35 feels and sounds angrier, more urgent and noticeably less civilised than a normal GTi. More like an old-school hot hatch, in fact. Great performance and handling and rare being the Edition 35, this is one 'hot hatch' that pleads to be enjoyed!  

1990 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC Transmission: automaticMileage:31115Mercedes-Benz set out to build the best luxury car in the world and for the duration of the 1980s the W126 C-Class succeeded admirably in achieving this goal. The W126 model employed a new range of light alloy V8 engines and a more aerodynamic shape over the previous S-Class, significantly improving fuel consumption. Initially available in two versions, the 380 SEC and 500 SEC, each powered by a single-overhead cam V8 engine with Bosch electronic fuel injection and four-speed automatic transmission, the big Benz coupé enjoyed effortless performance. At the 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show three new models were unveiled, the 420 SEC, 500 SEC and a new flagship badged the 560 SEC, along with further mechanical improvements including dual-range (Sport and Economy) automatic transmission, revised 15€ alloy wheels and upgraded brakes. The lower body sills were redesigned, giving the SEC a cleaner look, while the 560 model benefited from 215/65 tyres, ABS, speed-sensitive suspension and various interior upgrades. The 560's M117 V8 engine was rated at 300bhp, with 325lb/ft of torque on tap, resulting in a top speed of 150mph with acceleration to match. The car in our sale is the top of the range, with the most powerful engine available (5.6 litre rated at 300bhp).First registered on 1st August 1990, this flagship S-class Coupé is presented in Metallic Blue with cream leather trim and has been privately owned by the current owner for 15 years. Just five former keepers can be found on the logbook, the past two owners can account for motoring back to 1999 when the car had covered a mere 18,291 miles; it has been cherished ever since with a current mileage of a mere 31,113. With a fully detailed history file, this Mercedes-Benz has been cared for by main dealers or Mercedes-Benz specialists. Supplied with the V5 registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until June 2023, this is an iconic flagship coupé loaded with 1990's technology. Few of these remain on the road and hardly any in this condition with a silky smooth 5.5 litre V8 engine.

2008 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG L Transmission: automaticMileage:47468The wizards of Affalterbach, creators of the AMG company in 1967 which became the official engine tuner for Mercedes-Benz in 1999. The Mercedes-Benz W221 was the chassis code of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the successor of the S-Class W220. The S-Class are the flagship vehicles of Mercedes-Benz and each generation typically introduces a range of technical innovations and developments that over time will find their way into smaller cars. The Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG, the most powerful top of the line S-Class model made, was even more appealing thanks to a series of subtle yet extremely effective fine-tuning measures, the performance saloon is even more striking and priceless than ever before. The updated technology is aimed at ensuring a more dynamic driving experience as well as optimum active and passive safety. Exclusivity and dynamism combined with effortless superiority and state of the art technology, the top S-Class model from Mercedes AMG embodies all these characteristics and more. The AMG six litre bi-turbo V12 engine of the S65 AMG delivers maximum power of 612hp and maximum torque of 1000 Nm, accelerating from 0-100km/h in just 4.4 seconds. The saloon is electronically limited to 250km/h. Despite no changes having been made to the engine data and performance values, it has still been possible to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to three percent. The S65 continued to use the five-speed gearbox, because it can handle the higher torque of the engine, as opposed to the seven-speed transmission.This fabulous Mercedes-Benz epitomises luxury in every aspect. The Obsidian Black coachwork is unmarked with a deep rich shine and the Nappa black with cream, diamond stitched interior oozes luxury. Fire-up the engine on this 6.0 litre saloon and suddenly you realise this is the ultimate 'wolf in sheep's clothing'. However this S65 is as happy sitting in traffic as it is powering down the Autobahn. With ergonomics that other manufacturers can only aspire to, this Mercedes-Benz is a delight to travel in, whether that is as a driver or passenger. Supplied with a V5 registration document and a current MoT test certificate, at the time of writing the service history has been misplaced. However, the condition is certainly commensurate with such a low mileage example. Available at a fraction of the price when new, taking into account the modest mileage, this appears to be exceptional value for money.

1967 Vanden Plas Princess R (4 litre) Transmission: automaticMileage:42324One of Britain's most illustrious coachbuilders, chiefly remembered for its sublime vintage Bentleys, the firm of Vanden Plas was acquired by Austin in 1946 and re-invented as a marque in its own right some years later. From the late 1940s onwards Vanden Plas engaged in bodying top-of-the-line Austins, most notably the A135 Princess Limousine, before marque status arrived for 1960. When the Austin A99 was upgraded to A110 specification in 1961, gaining a longer wheelbase and more power, the Princess followed suit, becoming the 'Mk. II'. Over 50% more expensive than its three-litre predecessor, the Vanden Plas 4-Litre Princess R (as it was officially known) justified its price and its rather grand demeanour on the grounds of its parentage - it was the offspring of a somewhat unlikely liaison between BMC and Rolls-Royce. The Princess R was offered with the aluminium six-cylinder Rolls-Royce FB60 engine: a short-stroke 3,909cc variant of that used in the Silver Cloud. Extensive revisions were made to accommodate the Rolls-Royce engine. The new model, which could cruise happily at 90mph with enough left over to get it to a top speed of 112mph, was most enthusiastically received. Sadly, after the initial enthusiasm wore off, sales slowed to a trickle and only 6,555 cars had been built when the model was withdrawn in 1968. Imported this year from a private middle eastern collection this example is believed to have belonged to the Governor of Barbados. In good order throughout the interior and paintwork present very well and show little sign of age. Recently treated to a thorough recommissioning carried out by renowned classic car and race specialists Alan Mann Racing, the Vanden Plas is offered with a foreign title and Nova document. A lovely Princess Vanden Plas with power provided by a Rolls-Royce unit. Ready to be registered here in the UK and enjoyed in summer months ahead!We are advised by the vendor that the Vanden Plas has been recommissioned and drives well with the beautiful and silent Rolls Royce engine, however further recommissioning is recommended. The UK taxes have been paid and it comes with its Nova reference number.

1974 BMW 2002 Baur Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:98000The BMW 2002 series is important in the history of BMW for several reasons; not least of which being that it brought the company out of near bankruptcy in the 1960s and put BMW on the map in the United States. It was the ancestral grandfather to the BMW 3 Series and was produced from 1968 to 1976. German BMW importer Max Hoffman is credited with the car's creation. He had suggested to BMW's engineering director that a 2.0 litre engine should be installed into the small two-door 1602 to improve performance and emissions. The resulting 2002 (named after the new motor's displacement) was popular in its first year on sale. This BMW 2002 is one of only 354 examples manufactured in right hand drive format. Conversions on these outstanding vehicles were carried out by coachbuilder Karosserie Baur in Stuttgart. Baur retained a 'T' bar in the roof design helping to dramatically reduce any scuttle shake.This 2002 convertible by Baur is presented in an individual bronze metallic with the original houndstooth trim. With just three previous owners, the last for 33 years, it has been sympathetically restored over its life including new wings - a rolling restoration some may say. A real car for the enthusiast offered with a new MoT test certificate and long-term low ownership.Guide Price £12,000 - £16,000

1949 Brockhouse Corgi Transmission: manualMileage:Founded by managing director John Dolphin at the end of the Second World War in 1946 the Corgi Motorcycle Company was formed to develop a civilian version of his 98cc Welbike, which had been designed at The Frythe in Hertfordshire to be dropped by parachute to support airborne troops. Brockhouse Engineering of Southport built the Mk. III Corgi scooters, powered by an Excelsior Spryt Autocycle engine under licence. Many of these were exported to the United States between 1947 and 1954. Sold through a department store, the Corgi was branded the Indian Papoose in the US market. This example presents in black with a red tank and benefits from optional external two speed gearbox, a running and riding example with UK V5 registration certificate, Vintage Motorcycle club dating certificate, and handbook.Guide Price £2,000 - £4,000

1999 Ferrari 456 GTA Transmission: automaticMileage:44230The Ferrari 456 was the first front-engine Ferrari for 20 years and offered true performance touring for four occupants. The 456 GT was announced in September 1992, making its public show debut in Paris the following month. This was a positive and brave move by the company, as the prestige sports car markets were in recession after all the speculation and hype of the late eighties. However, they showed their commitment to broadening their range and to maintaining their position at the head of the list of the world's most desirable automobiles. The Pininfarina styled aluminium bodywork made for a pleasing design, particularly the modernised reflection of the fabled 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' with the long bonnet, featuring retractable headlight pods. Also inspired by the 'Daytona' was the design treatment of the rear of the cabin envelope and tail. Thus, although the shape was thoroughly modern, it contained retro trace elements to associate it with the company's history. Electronically adjustable self-levelling suspension gave positive handling and a comfortable ride, while the 442bhp, V12 made sure that performance had not been overlooked.Registered in March of 1999, this stylish Ferrari looks well in Nero Black paintwork with a contrasting ivory leather interior. The file for this 456 contains a V5C registration document, a valid MoT test certificate and various service invoices, the most recent of which is for £3,987. We are informed that recent servicing works have been undertaken by the vendors mechanic. The car certainly performed well on a recent test drive. The 456 model has the practicality of four seats combined with the perfect balance of aggressiveness and elegance. This handsome automatic transmission, example awaits a new owner to enjoy it to its fullest and is offered without reserve.

1991 Porsche 944 Turbo Transmission: manualMileage:115040Following the international success of the 924, a more powerful Porsche designed all-alloy, 2.5 litre, inline four engine was introduced in 1982 for the 944. Porsche engineers were able to produce a very smooth-running engine by utilising two counter-rotating balance shafts running at twice engine speed making the four-cylinder engine feel as smooth as a six. Cosmetically, the bodywork was revised with wider wheel arches, a fresh interior and upgrades to the braking and suspension systems also being added. The Turbo was a far superior car to the normally aspirated models. From 1989-1991 the 'SE' specification was adopted for the standard 944 Turbo, with the 1991 cars running a more attractive fibreglass spoiler.This lovely Porsche 944 Turbo has effectively had one owner from new, purchased in 1991 by the Lambert Fenchurch Group for the sole use of Mr. D H Griffiths. He liked the car so much that he acquired the car from the company in 1998 and has been the registered keeper since. From 2002 it has been fully maintained by marque specialists Chelsea Carrera based in High Wycombe and if the car required any work, it was carried out regardless of cost. Recently it has been refurbished cosmetically; all the glass was removed, the car prepared and repainted in the original colour of Baltic Blue metallic. The interior was retrimmed in the correct blue materials supplied by Southbound Trimmers and the wheels refurbished. It has also received a major service and had the cambelts replaced. This 944 Turbo is supplied with a V5C registration document in Mr. Griffiths name, an MoT test certificate which expires in March 2023, a file containing invoices from 2002 totalling over £30,000, a letter about the transfer of the car and a number of old MoT test certificates. This is a highly desirable 944, one for the serious enthusiast of the front-engined Porsche.

1968 Ford Cortina Mk. II 1600E (Series I) Transmission: manualMileage:7705The second incarnation of the Cortina was designed by Roy Haynes and was launched on 18th October 1966. One of the best loved versions of that Cortina appeared in 1967, the 1600E, which was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in October of that year. The mechanical specification included an 88bhp, 1600cc Cortina GT engine which achieved a fuel consumption of 25 miles per gallon. The 1600E interior came equally well equipped and included special rear bucket seats, reclining front seats, sports steering wheel, extra instruments and wood trim. Production ended in 1970 and, despite attempts at reviving the idea of an 'Executive' version of other, later models, Ford never recaptured the original feel of the Cortina Mk. II based 1600E. For 1969, the Mk. II model was given subtle revisions with separate 'FORD' block letters mounted on the bonnet and boot lid, a blacked-out grille and chrome strips above and below the rear lights running the full width of the rear panel on the Series II.This fabulous Cortina was originally registered on 3rd April 1968 and presents in stunning condition. Clearly the subject of a total restoration, the bodywork is superb, she is as clean underneath as it is on top. The red coachwork is to a very good standard and the black interior unmarked. We are advised the car starts on the button and drives well. These are very simple cars mechanically and a competent DIY mechanic can carry out routine maintenance. The quality of this 1600E has to be seen to be appreciated, the Series I instantly recognisable by the four dials set high in the dashboard. The performance of these classic Fords was considered brisk in the day, the 1600GT Kent engine offered good acceleration and is a very reliable unit. Offered for sale with a V5/C document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 20th January 2023, we expect this Ford Cortina 1600E to create significant interest.

2014 Land Rover Defender 110 Double Cab Pick-Up Transmission: manualMileage:40612The original Land Rover Series began production in Solihull in 1948 and until its decades-long production run ended in 2016, more than two million Defenders were produced, becoming a British automotive icon. Since production ceased, the revered model has been in increased demand from both collectors and those willing to use this tough, utilitarian vehicle in the way it was designed for. It was only in 1989, following the introduction of the all-new Land Rover Discovery, that the Defender received its own name. This was not only a marketing exercise; the new Defender received a raft of upgrades, along with a new turbo diesel engine that brought useful increases in power, torque, and fuel economy when compared with the old, normally aspirated diesel it was based on. Often boasting large 'Defender' logos, the Land Rover went through a continuous process of development, gaining disc brakes and power-assisted steering as standard during the 1990s, together with a host of other improvements.This Land Rover was originally supplied by Guy Salmon in Bristol on 31st March 2014. The specification of this Double Cab includes side steps and a Safari style roof rack, upgraded alloys, front bull-bar with spotlights and a multi-height tow-bar. We are advised this low mileage example drives as good as she looks, it has clearly been a well-cared example. Supplied with a V5 registration document, a current MoT test certificate and a print-out of the service history confirming the mileage. These robust, go anywhere vehicles have become increasingly desirable in recent years, this great utilitarian vehicle is sure to be one that catches the eye. 

1972 Jensen Interceptor Mk. III Transmission: automaticMileage:49900Launched in 1966, the Jensen Interceptor broke away from the company's traditional method of construction that used glass reinforced plastic with the new car now incorporating an all steel bodyshell. Designed by Carrozzeria Touring, the early cars were built by Vignale before production was eventually carried out at the Jensen works in West Bromwich. Power was delivered by the Chrysler 6276cc V8 through a TorqueFlite automatic transmission and final drive being a Salisbury axle with limited slip differential. A manual gearbox was offered as an option. 1968 saw the addition of power steering and in 1969 the Mk. II was introduced with detail upgrades that included a revised front end and ventilated disc brakes.  1971 saw the introduction of the Mk. III; the engine size was increased to 7212cc and was at this time, the most powerful engine Jensen had produced. The imposing presence, power and distinctive shape that included the wrap around glass rear hatch drew the rich and famous to the marque and famously, Princess Anne owned one. Production ceased in 1976 with a total of 6408 Mk. I, Mk. II and Mk. III Interceptors built between 1966 and 1976. Manufactured in 1972,  this wonderful example is presented in good order throughout and is offered in black with  a black leather interior. Having been in the current ownership for five years,  this Jensen has been treated to maintenance work where necessary including a new heater matrix, a NOS vacuum switcher and a Fenair air conditioning kit fitted; the engine bay wiring was also replaced, with other electrical parts replaced where necessary including a new window motor and mechanism on the driver's door and a reconditioned oil gauge. As such,  this Interceptor is in good running and driving condition. The paintwork retains a deep shine and the chromework is bright. Offered with a good history file including old MoT test certificates, various bills, invoices of maintenance work and a UK V5C registration document.

1988 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:44500The 560 SL convertible was the latest in Mercedes-Benz's long and much loved line of luxury sports cars. Launched in 1983 it could trace its lineage back to the 230 SL of 1963. The 560 SL was powered by a 5.5 litre, overhead camshaft V8 engine producing 227bhp, an output good enough for a top speed of 220kmh with 100kmh reachable in around eight seconds. There were improvements to the running gear in the form of anti-dive, anti-squat rear suspension, a limited slip differential and revised steering geometry. The 560 SL has a high level of standard equipment, included leather upholstery, anti-lock braking, an anti-theft alarm system, stereo radio/cassette, leather trimmed steering wheel, gear lever and an improved climate control system.This lovely example of this sought-after model is presented in original European specification (not the US specification with ugly bumpers!) and was delivered new to Japan in 1988. It is presented in silver with black interior, factory hardtop and a black hood which we believe has never been used. This luxurious sports car also comes with its original Becker stereo, original books and service history, and was previously dry stored for 20 years and only recommissioned by the present owner recently. It has heated front seats, cruise control and climate control. These are rare cars and with low mileage, this represents a fine addition to any classic car stable. Offered with No Reserve, this surely must be one of the best opportunities available today!

2010 Bentley GT Speed Transmission: automaticMileage:21065The Bentley Continental GT was the first model introduced by Bentley Motors following its acquisition by the Volkswagen Group in 1998. A Torsen-type permanent four-wheel-drive six-speed transmission was standard equipment, and the Continental GT could accelerate from 0-62mph in 4.8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 197.6mph. A mechanically identical Continental GTC Convertible was made available for 2006, followed by another version of the Coupé: the range-topping GT Speed. As its name suggests, the GT Speed offered greater power and increased performance; the 6.0-litre W12 engine produced 600bhp and heaps more torque (553lb/ft), while the running gear was comprehensively upgraded with a strengthened gearbox; firmer suspension; revised steering; optional carbon ceramic brakes; and the Mulliner specification interior. This lovely example is presented in metallic blue with its lavish cross stitched blue leather interior. The first owner ordered many options that were available from the factory and so is probably one of the best on the market today. It is a low ownership example with only having covered a mere 21,064 miles from new with the last service carried out at 21,000 miles. Most of its servicing has been carried out by Bentley Cheshire, Glasgow and Jack Barclay. It comes with a spare key, Bentley manual and its cherished private registration number. This Bentley has been beautifully looked after with little to no marks to its paintwork or interior. A truly wonderful motor car which exudes opulence, elegantly, with performance to match - what a great combination for a fraction of the price of a new one. Treat yourself this Summer!

1963 Triumph TR4 (Surrey Top) Transmission: manualMileage:Produced between 1961 and 1967, the TR4 combined a new, modern and aggressive body design by famed Italian stylist, Giovanni Michelotti with the basic chassis of the previous TR3A. The TR4 also improved passenger comfort with wind-up windows, face-level ventilation and an optional hardtop. The 2138cc engine of the late-production TR3A continued while the 1991cc engine was also made available to buyers who wanted to participate in two litre racing. When equipped with the optional overdrive, the TR4 was good for a top speed of almost 110mph. Today, the four-cylinder TR's are among the easiest of post-war classic sports cars to own and maintain being supported by a multitude of component suppliers and other specialists.This lovely UK supplied, right hand drive, 1963 Triumph TR4 with overdrive and Surrey top was the subject to a 'body off' ground up restoration a number of years ago. During the restoration they managed to retain certain original features including the white dashboard and the passenger grab handle. The current owner has informed us that it drives very well, with good oil pressure and a working overdrive unit. Looking resplendent in Masons Black with black leather seats from a Mazda MX5 and chrome wire wheels, this Triumph TR4 is supplied with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate which expires in May 2023. This realistically priced, quintessentially British sports car should generate significant interest both within the TR Register and wider classic car enthusiasts' community. 

2006 Bentley Arnage T Transmission: automaticMileage:24252Not only is the Arnage T more expensive and more powerful than its predecessors, the Arnage Green and Red Label models, but it also claimed the title of world's fastest saloon, needing all but the last two spots on its 190mph speedometer. The Arnage T is powered by yet another version of the 6.75 litre Rolls-Royce, V8 engine whose roots go back to 1959. Treated to what Bentley described as 'the most thorough re-engineering of its life', the 2007 model year cars produced a staggering 500bhp and thus the most desirable example. This prodigious output, besides enabling this Bentley to reach 188 mph, also sent it from 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds. Other changes included the adoption of a 'drive-by-wire' throttle 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.Originally registered on 27th January 2006 this Bentley was supplied by Straight Eight in Hampshire. Finished in the great colour combination of Tungsten with Beluga interior, this Arnage T has a combination of engine turned aluminium and walnut interior. The interior is rich with leather, chrome dials and gadgets. The exterior is subtly understated. These are exceptional vehicles to drive and FM55 NFE with its 451bhp output engine is no exception, combining the comfort from such a luxurious marque and performance which is quite breathtaking bearing in mind the size of the car.The interior is rich with leather, chrome dials and gadgets. The exterior is subtly understated. Supplied with a V5 registration document together with a current MoT test certificate and a well stamped service book, confirming the low mileage of just 24,252. This unmarked example offers exceptional value for money.

2009 Bentley Arnage T Transmission: automaticMileage:50600The Bentley Arnage 'T' laid claim to be the world's fastest saloon car in 2002 with a top speed just under 170mph. Powered by the 6.75-litre Rolls-Royce V8 engine which had been treated to what Bentley described as €œthe most thorough re-engineering of its life€, the Arnage produced a whopping 450bhp and an amazing 645 Ibs ft of torque, in no small part accredited to the twin-turbochargers. The other changes included a 'drive-by-wire' throttle to go with an electronic stability program and revised suspension. This transformed the luxury cruiser into a mile-crunching supercar rival, propelling the car to 60 miles per hour in just 5.5 seconds in consummate luxury. For 2007 model year the Garrett turbochargers were replaced with low-inertia Mitsubishi units, new camshafts and an all-new roller tappet system was fitted and the engine capacity increased to 6761cc. Peak power was now up by 11% to 500bhp with torque up to 738 Ibs ft, enabling a top speed of 180mph and the 0 - 60 speed down to 5.2 seconds. The engine was mated to a revised version of the six-speed ZF automatic gearbox found in the Bentley Continental range.This lovely, rare, top of the range 500bhp Bentley Arnage T by Mulliner was supplied new by Jack Barclay in London in 2009. It has only covered 50,600 miles from new which is confirmed by a comprehensive Bentley service history listed below, and the MoT history. Jack Barclay carried out the pre delivery inspection, then the next four services were on the 30/4/10 at 11,599 miles, 7/10/10 at 21,746 miles, 3/3/11 at 30,717 miles and 27/9/11 at 35,978 miles. The next service was carried out on the 10th June 2014 by Bentley Cambridge at 40,114 miles. From 19/5/15 at 41,347 miles Bentley Surrey have looked after the car and sold it to the current owner in June 2016 with a service at 42,632 miles. Under his ownership they have serviced the car on 4/7/17 at 45,886 miles and most recently on 6/8/21 at 50,318 miles. It has only covered 300 miles since. Recent work has included replacing both the batteries. Finished in Dark Sapphire Blue, Magnolia hide interior with Imperial Blue stitching and the dash top in Imperial Blue leather. The dashboard and door capping's in dark stained burr walnut, it is fitted with the 19-inch, five spoke, two-piece sports painted wheels. This lovely Arnage T is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in June 2023, all the hand books and service book containing the service stamps and two umbrellas kept in the boot. Often viewed as the last of the real Bentleys, this Arnage T is a best of breed car and must be seen to be fully appreciated.

*WITHDRAWN* DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL, THIS LOT HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM THE AUCTION1988 Jaguar XJ-S HE Lynx Eventer Transmission: automaticMileage:80601Conceived as a luxurious and long-legged Grand Routier, the XJ-S, though by no means a small car, afforded precious little in terms of interior space: two adults and an overnight bag being about the limit if its comfortable capacity. In the absence of a factory 'estate' it was left to the Hastings-based restorer and coachbuilder Lynx to exploit the model's full potential. Lynx had every reason to be confident that such a market existed, given the success of the 'sports estate' concept in the form of the Reliant Scimitar GTE and Lancia Beta HPE. In reconfiguring the XJ-S, Lynx extended the roof, moved the rear seats back, repositioned the fuel tank and added a tailgate, thus providing increased passenger leg room and an impressive claimed 23.75cu ft of load space with the seats up, almost 42cu ft with them folded flat. Lynx's conversion added £6,950+VAT to the £21,000 list price, making Eventer ownership the privilege of a wealthy few. Even today there are few cars that combine near silent 155mph performance with the luggage capacity of a family estate.Registered new on 1st March 1988 this superb and very original example was purchased from CKL Developments of Battle, East Sussex in December 2014 at which time it was treated to an extensive respray to the paintwork, including improving and refitting the tailgate, at a cost alone in excess of £4,360. Subsequent works at the time carried out by a local Jaguar specialist included fitting new foot brake and handbrake pads; two radius arm bushes; oil, fuel and air filters; and replaced water pump, coolant hoses and drive belts. Parts and labour total some £4,500. Acquired by our vendor in 2015 the Eventer resides in his significant private collection, with in house technicians, where it is maintained and serviced regardless of cost and exercised regularly, ensuring it's in exemplary condition. Both the paintwork and interior are in excellent order showing little sign of age and the underside and engine bay are very clean. Showing a modest 80,601 miles on the odometer (at the time of photography) the XJS is offered to the market with a sizeable history file detailing previous owners, maintenance invoices, old MoT records, the UK registration document and many sundry bills. Driven to the sale from the heart of Kent, the XJS glides quietly keeping up with modern traffic and runs and drives very well indeed. This example will enhance any classic car collection and is ready to be used immediately.

1967 Triumph TR4A IRS Transmission: manualMileage:2313Produced between 1961 and 1967, the Triumph TR4 combined a new, modern, and aggressive body design by famed Italian stylist, Giovanni Michelotti, with the basic chassis of the previous TR3A. The TR4 also improved passenger comfort with wind-up windows, face-level ventilation, and an optional hardtop. When equipped with the optional overdrive, the TR4 was good for a top speed of almost 110mph. Following on from the TR4, the new TR4A was phased in smoothly at the beginning of 1965 and introduced an all new independent rear suspension system (IRS), which provided exceptional rear wheel camber control with excellent wheel travel while softer springs improved the ride quality. The press was happy to see an all independent car, and Triumph was pleased to be the first British car manufacturer to have all independent suspensions under every car in their line-up. At the Sebring 12 Hours in 1966, ample proof of the validity of the IRS was provided when three IRS equipped TR4As achieved a remarkable 1-2-3 class victory.Unrivalled by any TR4A the consigner has ever seen before, the example offered here is certainly impressive and one that is not to be missed. The supplied BMI Heritage certificate tells us that this car is a home market example, despatched in May 1967, but not registered until September 1967 in Tonbridge Wells. Unusually, as a very late model TR4A, the car has the 'squared off' seats that were to be fitted to the TR5's. It is also fitted with the correct 'gold' shocks, an overdrive gearbox, original Stampart seatbelts, original steering wheel, original centre binnacle, Lucas PL headlights, original switches, a rear seat, correct 60 spoke wheels shod by Period Michelin tyres and boasts a mohair hood and hood cover. The car was subject to a high-level restoration around 2007 that had concours in mind. As such, extra attention to the quality of the restoration was made. A nut and bolt, ground up restoration was undertaken and the resulting panel gaps are unlike any the consigner has seen on a TR before. The underneath of the car is as clean as above with the engine bay just as beautifully presented. Indeed, the vendor reports the car to run and drive as flawlessly as it looks, with the overdrive gearbox also shifting perfectly.Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, BMI Heritage Certificate, owner's handbook, original chassis plate, photographic record of its restoration, file of receipts and a MoT test certificate valid until July 2023. To restore a car to this level today would be incredibly expensive and as a result, presents a unique opportunity.

1971 Ford Escort Mk. I Twin Cam Transmission: manualMileage:107218Having witnessed one of the Escort prototypes being tested during early 1967, Henry Taylor, Ford's competition department manager, thought the new model would be an ideal platform for the Lotus Twin Cam engine. The shell was strengthened and there were also some modifications under the bonnet and the front bumpers were split into two halves so the oil-cooler could be allowed to breathe more efficiently. The suspension was completely redesigned and brakes were bigger. In January 1969, Ford switched the original rectangular headlights to more effective circular units. Such luminaries such as Roger Clark and Hannu Mikkola drove these cars to victory and their name became a byword in Rally stages across the world. Production of the Escort Twin Cam was discontinued in June 1971 with just 883 ever built with only 380 with circular headlights and just a handful surviving.This rare example, in classic Ermine White, is presented in standard road trim. It was first delivered to KT Dartford Ford of Kent and purchased subsequently purchased by the current owner in 1979. He sold it three years later but couldn't bear to be parted and re-acquired the car in 2009 and has owned it for the last 13 years. Included in the history file is photographic evidence of a complete strip down and repaint some years ago with the paint work remaining in good order today. All elements appear sound underneath the bonnet including the vital but subtle 'Twin Cam' moniker to the rear boot lid. The interior shows the correct specification instrumentation with a six-gauge oval binnacle and natural alloy fascia. Optional black padded 'contour' seats have been installed combined with a deep-dish, three-spoke steering wheel. This example, reportedly, is incredibly reliable and benefits from recent Gaz strut inserts in the front suspension, a new battery, a full one-year MoT, the original owner's handbook and supplementary workshop manual. Interested parties should note that following discussions with the Twin Cam Registrar, Mark Heath, of the AVO Owner’s Club and following a face-to-face ‘Zoom’ call, his opinion is that this represents a correct ‘Twin Cam’ Escort although some elements would need adjustment before it became 100% accurate.

2005 Porsche Porsche 911 / 997 Carrera 2S Convertible Transmission: automaticMileage:49463The driving experience of linking corners whilst sitting behind the wheel of a Porsche is like nothing else on earth. The Stuttgart firm's flagship model, the 911, has evolved over the years reaching new heights of performance and quality each time. The 997-series allied all the technological improvements of its 996-series predecessor; a lighter/stiffer bodyshell, better suspension, four-valve cylinder heads and a superior HVAC system. Available in Carrera or Carrera S guises when launched, the latter boasted a more powerful 3.8 litre engine, sports exhaust, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and 19€ wheels as standard. The 'S' also had Xenon headlights, bigger brakes and red callipers to visually set them apart.This is extremely well presented C2S arrives from just one family owner, father then son, in an extremely attractive colour combination of metallic black paintwork with a black leather interior. The hardtop roof matches the bodywork and the black mohair soft-top is in excellent order. There are alloy wheels all round and, as you would expect, some light day-to-day scuffing and all shod with Michelin Pilot Sport's tyres. The comprehensive history includes numerous service invoices including one this May totalling over £4,000 and a fresh, one-year MoT test certificate. The tombstone seats are electric and combine with the satellite navigation system and Bose sound system to form a completely sound-proof environment with roof on or fun-in-sun, top-down motoring with the soft-top stowed.. Music by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license 

1950 Jaguar Mk. V Saloon (2½ litre) Transmission: manualMileage:54333Supplied new by main agents Boorers of Worthing on 21st April 1950 and sold to Mr E. C. Pearson Esq of Cromwell Road, Hove, East Sussex. Finished in black coachwork with tan leather hides, this right hand drive 'home market' example was one of only 1481 Mk. V 2 ½ Litre saloons built in right hand drive from the total Jaguar MK. V production of 10,499 cars built. Sold to Mr F. E. Cragg on June 1st 1961, where it would remain within his family ownership for a remarkable further sixty years after.Offered with two original service booklets issued by Boorers that detail the early service records from 1950-62, showing regular maintenance throughout that period and note the engine was reconditioned in November 1962. Notes on file from Mr Cragg state the mileage was 45,119 miles when he acquired the car in 1961 and it was used regularly until 1966, when it was taken off the road and dry stored with mileage reading 52,786 miles. The Jaguar would remain stored in his garage for the next 33 years until 1999 when it was recommissioned. After little effort it was started up again, the brakes overhauled, new tyres fitted, new exhaust and service etc. as Mr. Cragg states 'I simply could not part with it.' Between 1999 and 2007 he continued to enjoy the Jaguar with his family on, showing the car at local car shows and it was a regular sight at Basingstoke Classic Car Club events. The car remained within his family until December 2021 when it was sold and today has just 54,333 miles showing on the odometer. This rare and desirable Jaguar presents in remarkably original and sound condition, with original paintwork and original trim. Seldom do cars of this vintage survive in such well-preserved condition and display such wonderful patination throughout, indeed the car is a testament to the care of its long term owner; and a great candidate and potential winner for the preservation class at concours events. The vendor states it has benefitted from recent attention to the brakes including a rebuild of the master cylinder, and performed well on a recent test drive; the engine running well and displaying good oil pressure, and the brakes operating as they should. Interested parties are advised that further recommissioning works are recommended before regular use.Supplied with the aforementioned Boorers service booklets, complete and original tool kit, original owners handbook, original service manual, original parts manual and UK V5C registration document. Offered at an incredibly attractive estimate, this Jaguar offers a huge amount of style and history for a very modest outlay.

1980 Triumph TR8 Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:78419The TR8 that appeared on the North American market used the all-alloy 3.5 litre V8 engine that had been powering Rovers since 1966. Most of the initial build cars came with dual Zenith Stromberg carburettors - only those sold into emission-conscious California used fuel injection from the outset. Early TR8s were only available in Coupé form - the much-admired convertible not reaching the market until October of their introductory year. British Leyland had eventually decided to introduce the TR8 to the UK and European markets in November 1981 and had constructed a mere 18 right hand drive cars at the Lode Lane Solihull Factory some weeks before. Shortly after these examples were built British Leyland executives decided to cancel the whole TR range and plans to build the TR8 in any volume were scrapped.This 1980 Triumph was built as a TR7 convertible, to Californian specification, and was due to be sent there on completion. In 1979 British Leyland's last-ditch attempt to keep the TR7 viable they took twenty-five cars, twenty fully built, and five partially built cars off the production line and gave them to their development department. This was to drive costs down and develop the 'O' series engine, possibly with 16 valves and certainly to build a turbo version. When the development of these cars concluded in June 1981 all the running gear was removed, the cars were listed as scrapped and went back to the production line. KHP 542V, being one of these cars, was rebuilt as a right hand drive TR8, fitted with the 3.5 litre V8 engine with a manual gearbox and sold in the UK. Purchased by the current owner in 2011 he kept the car in storage before sending it to British classic car restorers M. V. Classics Ltd., of Southampton, Hampshire in 2014. Over the next two and half years they were responsible for the complete restoration at a cost in excess of £45,000, this included changing the colour from white to this lovely shade of blue. The interior remains black leather with black soft top roof. In 2018 the owner took and registered the car at his home in Guernsey where it has remained, with very little use, until being re-imported to the UK and registered with its original factory registration number. Further work was carried out while in the Channel Islands this included a new alternator and replacing the twin SU's, with manifold, for a new 'four pot' Holly downdraft carburettor which the owner tells us the power increase is staggering, and the handling is like driving a slot car around the track. Supplied with a V5 registration document and a file containing old MoT test certificates, a Heritage certificate, photographs and invoices from the restoration. A very rare English sportscar, an investment for the future.

1978 Porsche 911 SC Transmission: manualMileage:187300The Porsche 911 is the flagship car of the German manufacturer. It has a distinctive design, rear-engined, with independent rear suspension, an evolution of the swing axle on the Porsche 356. Since its introduction in 1963, the 911 has undergone continuous development although the basic concept has remained little changed.  Throughout its lifetime, the 911 has been modified by private teams and by the factory itself for racing, rallying and other forms of competition and is among the most successful competition cars ever. The earliest edition of the 911 had a flat six engine in the 'boxer' configuration, similar to the 356, air-cooled, rear-mounted and displaced 1991cc. It was mated to a four or five-speed manual 'Type 901' gearbox. The car had four seats although, as the rear seats were quite small, the car is usually referred to as a 2+2 rather than a four-seater. Styling was largely by Ferdinand 'Butzi' Porsche, son of Ferdinand 'Ferry' Porsche, although Erwin Komenda, who was the leader of the Porsche car body construction department, was also involved in the design.Manufactured on 1st July 1978 as confirmed by the Certificate of Authenticity, this Porsche 911 has had an interesting life. The Petrol Blue coachwork is in relatively good order although it does show some age-related marks. The black seats have grey houndstooth inserts and would appear to have been restored at some stage. A comprehensive history folder accompanies this Porsche with two very well stamped service books. The engine was rebuilt in March 2002 at 157,011 miles and we are advised she runs well and offers a brisk performance; these larger engines can be great fun to drive. Supplied with a V5C registration document, this 911 Coupé is an iconic vehicle of the period. The soul of this car is very much alive and looking forward to the open road.

1966 Jaguar E-Type Series I Fixedhead Coupé (4.2 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:6826Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore. Its combination of supercar performance, superb styling and a low price tag left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. 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, it reputedly enabled the low-slung two-seater to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph. While any E-Type roadster is desirable, the lithesome free-revving 3.8 litre cars enjoy a particularly exalted status; however, the later Series I, 4.2 litre was a better engine.The supplied BMI Heritage certificate shows DWL 110D to have been completed on 12th January 1966 and dispatched to its distributor, Henlys Ltd of London on 24th January 1966. A home market, manual car that comes with a lovely history file chronicling its ownership and work carried out through most of its life. Amongst the correspondence is communications from Lynx Cars Ltd, the well respected Jaguar specialists, who were commissioned to restore the car to 'A1' standard in 1990. As part of their restoration, they included a photographic record of the car's restoration. Rather charmingly there are also many other correspondence between some earlier specialists communicating the progress of various works carried out on the car. The vendor, who has owned the car for the past ten years, has always garaged and maintained the car, having any work it has needed carried out immediately. The car has just had a major service, which included having the carburettors stripped and rebuilt, with the vendor reporting the car to run and drive very well. Indeed, when inspecting the car, the consigner was taken for a drive in it and was impressed by how well it ran. The interior presents very well and matches the mechanical condition of the car. There is some evidence of micro blistering in the car's paint, as well as the odd mark that is to be expected from an older restoration, but the car appears to be very solid, both structurally and mechanically.Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, BMI Heritage Certificate, MoT test certificates dating back to the early 1980's, (as well its current MoT being valid through until May 2023), toolkit and file of receipts and history of the car's life. The 4.2 coupé is a rare car these days, especially as a home market car in manual and is generally considered the best driving of all the E-Types.

1972 Aston Martin Vantage Transmission: manualMileage:67857All 70 of these fantastic cars were 'Vantage-engined' to the highest state of tune for this engine - 'SVC'. They represent a special place in Aston Martin history as they were the last six-cylinder cars with a heritage stemming from the greatest era of the firm's racing history and the last to be fitted with wire wheels. They also marked a return to the traditionally-shaped front that was first introduced in the DB3S in the early fifties, continued throughout the 'DB' series of 4, 5, and 6, and was later adopted for all Aston Martins from the current decade - the DB9, the Vanquish, the V8 Vantage, and the current DBS. The model benefitted from all the many improvements developed and implemented throughout the five years of DBS production, including many mechanical and cosmetic changes. Of most significance and like the last fifty examples of the DBS, the car used the same later 'dog leg' ZF five speed gearbox as used in the DBSV8. It is notable that though the V8-engined model with the same body style was introduced in 1970, demand for the six-cylinder AM Vantage continued through 1973 until the factory no longer offered the alternative. Though the V8-engined cars are very fine in their own right, this affection and appreciation for the six-cylinder cars has had a direct bearing on demand, and they now command a premium in the market up to fifty per cent higher than their V8 counterpart.After Sir David Brown's departure in 1972, DBS production continued under new owners, Company Developments. The car was restyled with a two-headlamp front end but mechanically remained much as before, while for a brief period the six-cylinder engine continued to be offered alongside the new V8. The six-cylinder DBS was renamed 'Vantage', a term used to denote the high-performance engine option.  All but two Vantages ('6067' and '6068') had the 'SVC' Vantage high-performance engine. Only 70 of these six-cylinder Vantages were produced between May 1972 and July 1973, making the model one of the rarer of post-war Aston Martins.Presented in the original colour of Ascot Grey and upholstered in the original dark blue that came with the car in 1972, this Vantage was originally registered on the 23rd November and sold to Dovey Motors Company Ltd in Cardiff. This car has been owned by the Forshaw Family since the 1980s having purchased it from the first owner. It had a bare metal respray in 1999 and has covered less than 300 miles in the past 10 years, forming part of the family's treasured collection. In 2012 a new high torque starter motor was fitted, alongside a head gasket and HT leads, then the front suspension was refurbished in 2013 with two new front hubs fitted also at the same time. A full history file, whilst in the Forshaw ownership, can be viewed, including original Aston Martin buff warranty booklet and a copy of the original build sheet. It is mechanically sound and described as running very nicely with no known issues.  The interior is original and in good condition and the paintwork is also in good condition.  Boasting a working 8 Track play with some available with the car and it comes with a new MoT test certificate valid until June 2023.  This is a truly wonderful, original piece of Aston Martin history, in the same ownership for over 40 years.

1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE Cabriolet (3.5 Litre) Transmission: automaticMileage:56536Publicly displayed for the first time at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1967, the car quite rightly caused a sensation. For buyers that were in the market for a convertible there was no finer choice than the 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet, it was the fastest, most lavish, and most expensive convertible offered by Mercedes-Benz. For those who appreciate the finest things in life, this car more than lived up to those expectations. A silky-smooth ride was courtesy of a delightful V8 engine that was manufactured using a cast-iron block and aluminium cylinder heads, each equipped with a single overhead camshaft. Capable of reaching speeds around 125mph and 0-60mph in less than ten seconds, performance is best described as brisk. Inside the car, passengers are treated to the level of understated elegance that one would expect in a car of this calibre and financial investment. Burled walnut dashboards and sumptuous leather seating ensured that the passengers not only drove in style, but in utmost comfort. Equipped with automatic transmission, air conditioning, electric windows and a radio were all standard fitments.This stunning, highly desirable and collectable,  original 111.027 3.5 litre 280 SE Cabriolet is finished in deep green with contrasting biscuit leather trim and tan hood. The car is in fabulous order and a credit to an extensive restoration and recommissioning in the early 2000's. As with all 280SE Convertibles, the interior is the real 'pièce de resistance' along with chromework, of which there is a plentiful supply on this car. Originally supplied to the USA, the car went through an exhaustive mechanical overhaul by Mercedes-Benz specialist Black Forest in Glendale, Wisconsin before being purchased by the current owner from William Loughran in the UK in 2011. This Mercedes-Benz has been the pride and joy of the present owner and he has had it stored for several years.  Recently, serviced and maintained by Windrush, this rare luxury cabriolet looks fabulous.  This is an ideal classic, perfect for every driving especially when the sun comes out, providing open top touring and attracting admiring glances everywhere. Supplied with a tool roll, a V5/C registration document, original book pack and invoices, this 3.5 litre, 280 SE Cabriolet is the perfect example for the discerning collector. This is the one to have!

2010 Ford Focus RS Transmission: manualMileage:2621The Focus is a compact car designed under Alex Trotman's Ford 2000 plan, which aimed to globalize model development and sell one compact vehicle worldwide, the Focus was primarily designed by Ford of Europe's German and British teams. The second generation Focus RS is the Focus that Ford originally claimed it was unlikely to manufacture, however they did and the latest 'Hot hatch' was born. One of the most controversial aspects of the car was its drivetrain, which remained front, not four-wheel drive. After awarding the car five stars, this is what the team at Auto Express had to say about the new Ford Focus RS when launched: €œThe engineers have done an amazing job. It's got storming performance, amazing handling and grip, but also real character thanks to that charismatic five-cylinder engine.€Originally registered on 29th December 2010 this immaculate Ford Focus RS is finished in the striking £630 special metallic option - Ultimate Green. Owned by husband and wife since new, only transferring into her name in 2021 due to bereavement. An incredible service history accompanies this unique 2,621 mile RS, serviced annually (12 times) by the supplying dealer, up to and including January 2022 at 2,466 miles. The car was specified from new with Lux Pack 2, reverse camera, Bluetooth and also benefits from having the Dynamica RS seat upgrade - a must for any Focus and a £7,000 option if fitted retrospectively. It's supplied with a V5C registration document, the original order form, fully stamped service book with matching invoices and all MoTs from new. This Ford Focus RS is in what we can only describe as 'age defying condition'. Interested parties are advised to inspect the car in person to ascertain the quality of this stunning vehicle. A real collector's example these cars are fast being recognised as a future classic.

1970 Austin 1100 Transmission: manualMileage:36774In 1962, a quite revolutionary new saloon was launched by BMC at the same time as the brand new MGB. Initially wearing the Morris badge, ADO16 was hot from the drawing boards of Alec Issigonis and Pininfarina. Offered in many guises by Innocenti, Morris, Riley, Wolseley, Vanden Plas and Austin, the ADO16 was truly universal in its appeal. In line with BMC's policy at the time, Austin badged versions of the ADO16 were built at Longbridge, whilst Morris and MG versions were assembled at Cowley. The original Mk. I models were distinctive for their use of a Hydrolastic suspension. Marketing material highlighted the spacious cabin when compared to competitors such as the Ford Anglia, Vauxhall Viva HA and BMC's own still popular Morris Minor. Unlike almost all of its competitors, the ADO16 featured front-wheel drive instead of the rear-wheel drive. The Mk. I Austin/Morris 1100 was available, initially, only as a four-door saloon. This Austin 1100 is possibly the finest example we have offered. Originally registered in March 1970 and showing only three owners prior to its enthusiast vendor,  we are told that this lovely example runs as well as it looks. Upon inspection it fired up on the first time of asking which is not surprising given that the engine bay is as immaculate as the rest of the car. Presented to auction with a V5C registration document,  this MoT exempt Austin must be seen to be truly appreciated. Offered without reserve.

1998 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Transmission: automaticMileage:71279Following the resounding success of the R107, the R129 Mercedes-Benz SL had a rather tough act to follow, and it still had to carry on the tradition of a fast and reliable grand touring convertible. The advantage designers had with the R129 was technology. The new SL500 featured many new and innovative ideas, such as controlled electronic damping, automatically expanding roll-over bar and a more modern multi-link rear axle. In addition to this was a fully operating electric hood, windows, door mirrors and seats. The SL boasted a more powerful engine and the stopping power was aided by anti-locking braking for added reassurance. Originally registered in May 1998 this striking Mercedes-Benz limited edition presents extremely well in the rare colour of Designo Vario Blue with a contrasting grey leather interior and AMG alloys. The removable factory hardtop is the desirable panoramic version. The driving experience of this V12 Mercedes is enhanced with the fitment of a part wood and leather steering wheel and the reassuring knowledge that during the vendors tenure this Mercedes has been impeccably maintained. The service file shows eight service stamps with a main agent and the well-known specialist Edward Hall of Worminghall. Offered to auction with a V5 and a valid MoT test certificate this wonderful Mercedes is realistically estimated and offers ideal summer enjoyment.  

1965 Ford Mustang Coupé Transmission: automaticMileage:53500The Ford Mustang is an American icon and was originally based on the Ford Falcon compact. The first production Mustang rolled off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan on 9th March 1964 and was introduced to the public at the New York World's Fair on 17th April 1964. It was, and remains, one of the most successful product launches in automotive history. The Mustang sold over one million units in its first 18 months on the market and its legend lives on with revised models still in production today after 50 years. With each revision, the Mustang saw an increase in overall dimensions and in engine power.This example is presented in pale yellow with black interior and is fitted with a 289ci V8 engine mated to an automatic gearbox. The car was imported in 2014 and has been looked after extremely well by the present owner. Its paintwork is in good condition as is the interior, including the headlining. These are great fun and with its rumbling V8 which sounds fantastic, it is a joy to drive. 

1990 Alpine GTA V6 Turbo Le Mans Transmission: manualMileage:33343The Renault Alpine GTA was produced by the Renault owned French manufacturer Alpine between 1986 and 1991. It was the first car launched by Alpine under Renault ownership (though Alpine had been affiliated with Renault for many years with its earlier models using many Renault parts). It effectively updated the design of its predecessor, the Alpine A310, updating that car's silhouette with modern design features like body-integrated bumpers and a triangular 'C' pillar and with large rear windshield. It used the PRV V6 engine in a rear-engined layout with extensive use of polyester plastics and fibreglass for the body panels making it considerably lighter and quicker than rivals such as the Porsche 944. It was one of the most aerodynamic cars of its time, the normally-aspirated version achieving a world record 0.28 drag co-efficient. The PRV engine, (The PRV engine is a car petrol V6 engine that was developed jointly by Peugeot, Renault and Volvo Cars), in the normally aspirated model was identical to the version used in the Renault 25, a 2,849cc unit producing 160hp. Also available was the turbocharged model which increased the power of the PRV unit to 200hp.A rare sight on British roads, this is one of only 26 UK-market Alpine GTA V6 Le Mans produced, all of the Le Mans made for the UK were burgundy metallic as indeed this one is, with grey velour interior. The rare sports car has been in the same family ownership from new and needs complete recommissioning. It still retains its original built-in mobile phone (not currently working), original spare wheel, original built-in sound system, electric windows and its manual gearbox is mated to the infamous V6 Turbo. As a one owner car from new, this example is really in 'time warp' condition and once recommissioned, we are certain it will still be able to bring a smile to your face when driving it in the way it was supposed to when first built. A rarity which one would not often find! *Please be aware that this car is not suitable to be driven away from the Auction and should be re commissioned prior to driving.

2004 Aston Martin DB9 Volante Transmission: automaticMileage:62850The DB9 was the star of the 2003 Frankfurt Motor show where it was unveiled to the public for the very first time. The DB9 was powered by a third generation version of the now familiar 6.0 litre, V12 and had a top speed of 186mph. It was the first of what was to become a long line of production Aston Martins to use VH architecture; using Superformed parts in the chassis and footwell as well as the body panels. The individual die-cast, extruded or stamped aluminium elements of the VH platform were bonded with strong adhesives and self-piercing rivets to make a lightweight but stiff backbone. Aston Martins have always made the interior of their cars to be very special places. Beautifully tailored with the finest of materials, the DB9 uses Bridge of Weir leather, aluminium and wood. The use of wood in the interior was different from previous Aston Martins with customers offered a choice of walnut, mahogany or bamboo. This very nice example is presented in black with cream leather interior, which is arguably the best colour combination. The car comes with a good service history, having been looked after by Grange Motors and Aston Martin specialists (Rikki Cann) with the most recent service having been carried out in August 2019 at 61,200 miles by Nicholas Mee with an invoice totalling £6,060 which is included in the paperwork. In 2014, at the expense of £7,600 the car benefitted from some bodywork and mechanical/electrical and interior improvements and supporting documents for this are included in the history file. A full engine rebuild was carried out at 59,000 miles in 2016/17 costing £23,000 and the car has travelled a mere 300 miles since. This recent expenditure ensures many miles ahead of good motoring. It comes with its service book with many stamps and handbooks, spare key and Aston wallet which is also included. Great for the summer ahead and has been well looked after according to the paperwork. The car is also supplied with a fresh MoT test certificate.

2001 Porsche 911 / 996 Turbo Transmission: automaticMileage:49653The 996 model is a superb car; quick, reliable, well made and the birth of the water-cooled Porsche 911. With a wide range of models on offer the most iconic is, of course, the Turbo. Featuring four-wheel drive and a 3.6 litre intercooled engine, derived from the 1998 Le Mans winning GT-1 car, pushing out 420bhp and hitting 60mph in a whisker over four seconds, this is genuine supercar territory. The 996 was seen as a more relaxed and usable 911; however, in Turbo guise, the driver would get the best of both worlds; a luxury leather interior with every creature comfort combined with the ability to drop the hammer and reach a top speed of a claimed 190mph. The 996 Turbo was available with either a six-speed manual or a five-speed Tiptronic transmission with revised styling and a wider stance than the naturally aspirated 996 Carreras along with new bi-xenon headlamps. The Turbo also came with Vario Cam Plus as well as stability management - a necessity with over 400bhp under your right foot. Performance can be described as ballistic when behind the wheel of a turbo-charged Porsche. However, due to the modern 911 being such a capable daily driver, mileage on early cars can swiftly reach into six figures, resulting in lower mileage models becoming quite the find for any collector or enthusiast. With just a little over 49,653 miles, our example is presented in metallic Lapis Blue with grey leather trim and has clearly had a pampered life. The car was first registered on 3rd August 2001 and was particularly well specified including rear leather centre console, aluminium painted instrument dials, lumbar support on driver and passenger seats and soft ruffled leather seats. This car has been well maintained and regularly serviced. It has been only lightly used by our vendor on a weekly basis and on dry weekends, kept in 'tip top' running order with the last service in March 2022 at 49,196 miles. In addition to this the car was recently ceramic coated at a cost of £1000 just a few months ago. A three owner car with an MoT test certificate until March 2023 found within the comprehensive history file. This is a superb example of an ever appreciating 911 in such fabulous condition that viewing is highly recommended.

1969 Alfa Romeo GT Junior 'Alfaholics Stepnose' (Two litre) Transmission: manualMileage:13763Mention Alfa Romeos from the 1960s and 1970s and what usually springs to mind is the marque's 105 Series Coupé, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Bertone, considered to be one of his greatest designs. Not only as one of the best looking and handling classic saloon cars of the period, but the advanced specification, with its five-speed gearbox, all-round disc brakes, independent suspension, and powerful twin-cam engine, still has the capability to embarrass many of its modern counterparts. A rare right hand drive, this 1300 Alfa Romeo was first registered in 1969 in South Africa and remained in the warm dry climate until the current owner imported the car in 2021. This 2 litre Nord engine has now been upgraded to Alfaholics stage 1 with a verified dyno at 141 BHP, the work was carried out by race specialist Bradbury Engineering to the following specifications:  High compression pistons, Alfaholics carburettor mounds with uprated air intake filters, a rebuilt head to fast road spec, Alfaholics springs and suspension, a rebuilt cylinder head and rebuilt ignition system. Supplied with bills from Alfaholics and the engineering work from Bradbury Engineering totalling over £10,000. This example benefits from a limited slip differential, VAN de Linde four branch exhaust, BMW four pot brake calipers, a rebuilt steering box and 15-inch Alfaholics GTA veloce wheels coupled to an Alfaholics retro stereo. We are informed the body is in excellent condition and the interior, which was retrimmed by the previous owner, is in very good condition. With Alfaholics cars worth an incredible figure, this very rare example looks like incredible value.

1939 Leyland Fire Engine Transmission: manualMileage:You will not miss this 1939 Leyland Cub Fire Engine at our auction! Originally supplied when new to Budleigh Salterton district council, Devon.  We are informed that DOD 37 served during WW2 in Plymouth, Exeter and Bristol. We are also told that this imposing Fire truck was sold for scrap in 1964. It was found 15 years later in a derelict state, in a Doncaster scrapyard. Bernard Land and his son purchased the truck in 1989 and restored it to the impressive original, working condition we see today. Presenting, unsurprisingly and traditionally, in red with acres of chrome work, this engine has many  authentic details including a brass bell and Lucas headlights which are both inscribed 'king of the road'.  Offered to auction with a V5c registration document.Interested parties please note that this vehicle requires a new water pump.

2008 Bentley Arnage R Transmission: automaticMileage:16700The Bentley Arnage was launched in 1998, a large luxury saloon car that replaced the previous Bentley Turbo saloon. Built by Bentley Motors in Crewe, from 1998 to 2009, the Arnage and its Rolls-Royce sibling named the Silver Seraph, were introduced in the Spring of 1998. They were the first entirely new designs for the two marques since 1980 when the Silver Spirit and Mulsanne models were introduced. In 2002, Bentley updated the Red Label as the series two Arnage R. This model was launched to contrast the Arnage T, which was developed to be a sportier variant. The Arnage R was the more elegant alternative although performance was hardly compromised. Featuring two Garrett T3 turbochargers fitted to the 6.75 litre V8 engine which produces 450bhp and 875nM, capable of launching this magnificent Bentley from 0-62mph in just 5.8 seconds. Bentley quote the Arnage R as being an unrivalled example of the Grand Touring philosophy, making every journey a unique experience of power, luxury and control. A place where two very different worlds are perfectly united. Tradition and technology in absolute harmony. This excellent Bentley Arnage R was purchased by the world-renowned artist Damien Hirst as a gift for his long-term friend, accountant and financial advisor who was the business brain behind his multimillion-pound career. Supplied by Jack Barclay on the 26th June 2008 for the sum of £182,500 it features a rare 'Hooper' style rear window, designed to give added privacy to the rear occupants but also lending the back of the car a more elegant line. A rear fridge, rear knee rolls, walnut picnic tables and cream dials were among the options. This is one of the last Arnage R's and the closest to 'new' in condition as you might hope to find on the market today. It has been in the same family and has only covered 16,700 miles from new, confirmed by the service book which shows no less than fifteen Bentley main dealer stamps, eight of which were completed within the last 1000 miles covered! The last Bentley service and MoT was carried out on 31st May 2022 and it has just been fitted with two new batteries. Finished in the stunning colour combination of Black Sapphire (very dark midnight blue) with Linen (light cream) leather interior piped in Windsor Blue. This Arnage R is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate, the service book and a follow-on service book showing the service history and confirming the mileage and the original Jack Barclay order form. A unique opportunity to buy the last of its breed, low mileage, faultless history and an interesting provenance.

1978 Aston Martin V8 Transmission: automaticMileage:58255Aston Martin's customers had been clamouring for an eight-cylinder car for years, so Aston Martin designed a larger two-door saloon for V8 applications. The engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the DBS with the straight-six Vantage engine from the DB6. Two years later, Tadek Marek's V8 was ready, and Aston released the DBS V8. With the demise of the straight-six Vantage in 1973, the DBS V8, now restyled and called simply the Aston Martin V8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades. It was retired in favour of the Virage in 1989. The 'Oscar India' specification was introduced in October 1978 at the Birmingham International Motor Show. Visually, the former scoop on the bonnet gave way to a closed 'power bulge', while a spoiler was integrated into the tail. Most Oscar India cars were equipped with a Chrysler 'TorqueFlite' three-speed automatic transmission, with wood trim fitted for the first time since the DB2/4 of the 1950s. Just 352 Oscar India models were built from 1978 through to 1985. This 1978 Aston Martin V8 was purchased by the current owner in 1982 from Stratton Motor Company, Norfolk with a speedometer reading of 19,973 miles. Returning to his London home he has had it fully maintained and serviced by Ian Mason Aston Services, then with Aston Service London when they took over Ian Mason in 2008. In 1987 it was sent to Ian Mason's and the car was stripped and repainted, changing the colour from silver to white, but it has retained its lovely blue leather interior. While in his ownership this AM V8 has covered only 58,250 miles from new, less than 40,000 miles in his ownership and only 2,000 miles since 2007. This is due to the owner moving to Israel in 1993 leaving the car, garaged, at his London address but having someone checking on it regularly, taking it for service and MoT's. This Aston Martin V8 is supplied with a number of V5 registration documents ranging from the current logbook back to 1982, an MoT test certificate which expires in August 2022, the original owners handbook and a file containing old MoT's and other documents relating to the car. Requiring to be repainted again this Aston Martin has the potential of becoming a very useable classic Aston and certainly a very good investment for the future. https://youtu.be/r1CgfMHBzZ4

1959 MG A Roadster Twin Cam Transmission: manualMileage:2157Introduced in 1958, the MGA Twin Cam was the result of a lengthy and involved development but, disappointingly, it returned one of the shortest production runs that Abingdon had ever seen. This certainly makes the car somewhat a rarity with only 2,111 cars being produced between early 1958 and early 1960. The Twin Cam utilised an engine that was never fitted to any other car and was developed from the B series unit. It was difficult to extract more than 60bhp from the standard pushrod engine so Gerald Palmer, the Cowley's plant design engineer, turned his attention to a twin cam unit, the company being keen to get back into serious competition. A special light alloy, cross-flow cylinder head carried twin overhead camshafts housed by two smart looking alloy cam covers adorned the top of the cylinder head whilst a large finned aluminium sump helped to keep the lubricating oil cool. Further design works led to a very healthy 108bhp @ 6700rpm and with a maximum torque figure of 104Ib. ft. @ 4500rpm meant that the new MGA Twin Cam was to be no slouch! Of the 2,111 examples produced, 1,801 were roadsters. There is no doubt that today, the MGA Twin Cam quite rightly has its niche in the MG history book and is a much desired classic. Purchased from Historics at our 2016 Brooklands Museum sale this stunning MGA twin cam roadster is a matching-numbers, UK home-market supplied MGA Twin Cam that still wears its original designated number plate. Manufactured on 9th September 1959, XHL 866 when purchased had just undergone an extensive body-off restoration resulting in this fabulous example. The final finish had been carried out to a very high standard in Chariot Red, its original factory colour. The interior seats are trimmed in black leather with red piping, the interior further featuring the original factory fitted steering wheel. A new hood keeps the occupants dry when required and complimenting the coachwork is the chrome work and badges that, apart from the windscreen surround, had all been re-chromed or replaced. Continental tyres adorn the wonderful and original Dunlop peg wheels (wire wheels were never an option on the MGA). Mechanically, the restoration included an engine overhaul with particular attention being paid to the cylinder head, this being built to the original specification, and the addition of a Hi-Torque starter motor aiding reliable starting. However after purchase the car had troubles with the running in period. Thus our vendor, wanting a perfect example of this true British great, commissioned Valoroso to carry out a full engine rebuild, fit a new aluminium radiator, oil cooler and filter coupled with fuel pump. While this was undertaken a new clutch and new brake pads were added. The car now stands our customer having spent in excess of £70,000, but this results in a truly lovely example. Having covered just 2,157 miles since the coachwork was carefully attended to this example correctly includes the factory fitted steel wings, all in exemplary condition. A history file includes a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate which shows that this is a matching numbers MGA Twin Cam and one of only 210 UK home-market, right hand drive cars built. Also included are invoices for the recent engine rebuild and dyno tests, coupled with photographs from the restoration and various books and manuals. The charm of this MGA Twin Cam is that it has been sympathetically restored to a condition that very much reflects how it may have appeared from the factory in 1959. With so few genuine UK home market, right hand drive MGA Twin Cams surviving today, there is no doubt that this car, built to this standard, is a much desired example of the marque.

1958 Austin Healey BN6 Transmission: manualMileage:22275The Austin-Healey 100 was built between 1953 and 1956 by the British Motor Corporation. It was developed by Donald Healey to be produced in-house by Healey's small car company in Warwick and based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals. Healey built a single 'Healey Hundred' for the 1952 London Motor Show and the design impressed Leonard Lord, Managing Director of Austin, so much that a deal was struck with Healey to build it in quantity at Austin's Longbridge factory. The car was renamed the Austin-Healey 100. The '100' name comes from Donald Healey who selected the name from the car's ability to reach 100mph as opposed to the Austin Healey 3000 which is named for its 3000cc engine. The final '100' models, 1956's 'BN4' (2+2 seats) and 1958's 'BN6' (2 seats) were six-cylinder 100-Six cars. To make room for the occasional seats the wheelbase was increased by two inches. The bonnet had a built-in air scoop and the windscreen no longer folded down. Subject to a full mechanical and bodywork restoration this stunning, Opalescent Grey BN6 was manufactured in 1958 and its interior is in contrasting blood red leather trim. Boasting manual gearbox with overdrive, this desirable two-seater is UK registered and the RU numbered original block has been uprated to a BN7 3.0 litre and rebuilt. When it was restored, the brakes were also uprated to disc brakes at the front. We are informed that this example was built in the UK factory then exported very soon after to South Africa before returning to the UK in 2019. Boasting original factory side screens, Chrome wire wheels with new Michelin tyres, a Kenlow fan upgrade. The most desirable model with the most desirable engine, this example will deliver many more years of driving pleasure; with its classic good looks and strong performance, the BN6 is thought to be the most desirable of the 100/6 series and this example looks fabulous.

1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:35731The Ford Thunderbird ('T-Bird') began life in February 1953 in direct response to Chevrolet's new sports car, the Corvette, which was publicly unveiled in prototype form just a month before. Under rapid development, the Thunderbird went from drawing board to prototype in about a year, being unveiled to the public at the Detroit Auto Show on 20th February 1954. It was manufactured by Ford in the United States over eleven model generations from 1955 through to 2005. The second to fourth generation Thunderbird convertibles were similar in design to the Lincoln convertible of the time and borrowed from earlier Ford hardtop/convertible designs. While these Thunderbird models had a true convertible soft top, the top was lowered to stow in the boot area, considerably reducing available boot space when the top was down. The overall appearance was a sleek look with no trace of a convertible top at all. This lovely and rare example is presented in gleaming red with red interior. It was imported into the UK in 2015 from the USA where it had spent many years on Long Island, New York. It is fully registered here in the UK and comes with a V5 logbook. This striking American classic comes with its original 312ci, 5113 cc V8 engine which is mated to a three-speed manual gearbox with the optional overdrive (currently working intermittently). This Thunderbird was the subject of a full body restoration including re-chromed bumpers, new soft top hood, new exhaust system, new springs and shock absorbers. Total expenditure for works carried out are in excess of £18,000. All receipts for the work carried out by the present vendor are in the history file and the car comes with its original handbook.  This car really does have to be seen to appreciate what a fabulous example it is! Open top touring at its best!

2008 Mercedes-Benz CL600 Transmission: automaticMileage:45500The CL Class is the coupé derivative of the S Class full size luxury saloon, upon which it shares the same platform. Formerly known as the SEC (Sonderklasse Einspritzmotor Coupé) and later S Coupé. After six years of development, the third generation was officially unveiled at the end of June 2006 and was presented at the 2006 Paris Salon. Like its predecessors, the C216 has no B pillar interrupting the sleek curve of the side windows. W216 is offered in four models, each with its own engine and transmission, the 5.5L V8-powered CL 500 the high-performance 6.2L V8-powered CL 63 AMG the ultra-luxury twin-turbo 5.5L V12-powered CL 600 and, lastly, the CL 65 AMG with a twin-turbo 6.0L V12 engine. The C216 makes use of the Distronic Plus cruise control, which debuted on the 2007 S-Class. This system is able to bring the car to a complete stop, and accelerate again to the pre-set speed, to keep a pre-set distance away from the car ahead of it. This Mercedes-Benz CL has also debuted with the new Active NightVision program that enables drivers to view the conditions in front of the car despite the dark surroundings. This flagship CL600 is presented in Metallic Silver with a contrasting leather trim. Offered with a comprehensive service history, this example was originally registered and serviced in Ireland and brought into the UK in 2017. It was recently serviced in January 2022 at Mercedes-Benz Chelsea at 45,127. These Coupés are renowned for their opulence and ability to eat up mileage and with the V12 engine and such low mileage, this example is certainly impressive.

2013 Aston Martin Vanquish Transmission: automaticMileage:53452The first-generation of the 'V12 Vanquish', designed by Ian Callum and unveiled at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show, was produced from 2001 to 2007 as the flagship of the marque. The V12 Vanquish was indirectly replaced by the DBS after 2007. The second-generation Vanquish was introduced in 2012, based on the Aston Martin's VH platform, followed in 2017 by a 'Vanquish S' with a more powerful engine and improved aerodynamics. Presented in Quantum Silver (Q Special) metallic with complimentary Obsidian Black Caithness leather this stunning second generation Vanquish is fitted with upgraded 20 inch, 20 spoke diamond cut alloy wheels shod with contrasting red calipers, huge Carbon-Ceramic brake discs and a set of Pirelli P Zero tyres. The Vanquish is powered by the 569 bhp V12 and Autocar wrote 'this is the best road-going Aston yet' Carbon fibre abounds in the bonnet, boot, front spoiler, side skirts and rear diffuser. It really looks the part with those muscular rear haunches. This car is specified with the following options - 2+2 seating, sports seats with Aston Martin embroidered wings, full-length twill carbon fascia, satellite navigation, reversing camera, B+O Hifi, One77 full leather steering wheel, satin chrome jewellery pack, carbon roof, red brake calipers, bright finish grille, tailpipe, and side strakes, garage door opener and front end stone protection. The car has covered 53,452 miles and has an entire Aston Martin main dealer service history. Last at Aston Pangbourne, supplied with the stamped handbook, MoT history, Aston Martin umbrella and two original keys of which the glass key is unmarked. A fabulous opportunity to own a gorgeous sports car.Interested parties should note that this lot has a copy of the current V5 but not the original supplied with the sale, this will not affect registering to a new owner.

1973 Alfa Romeo Montreal Transmission: manualMileage:57500It is important to understand how the Alfa Romeo Montreal came about as its design and power plant was something to behold. Montreal, Canada, the setting for the 1967 World's Fair; the International and Universal Exposition or 'Expo 67' as it was known. Alfa Romeo was asked to provide an exhibit that would be representative of the automotive industry. The result was a fabulous prototype designed by Marcello Gandini of the Bertone styling house and named Montreal in honour of the event. The 105 series chassis and components were used as a basis, designed with ease of future production in mind. When the first production model was revealed in 1970 the styling was virtually identical to the World's Fair prototype, but the biggest surprise was the power plant under the bonnet. Alfa Romeo used a detuned Type 33 racing car's V8 engine of 2,593cc capacity which produced over 200bhp. Regrettably, the Type 33 six-speed transmission and transaxle were not used, however; a ZF gearbox five-speed gearbox and modified 105 series rear axle were incorporated to good effect. This superb example is possibly the nicest we have seen. Preserved throughout its life the Alfa Romeo is largely original other than the paintwork which was renewed 12 years ago. In excellent condition the Alfa starts up and runs very well and shows a mere 57,391 Kilometres on the odometer which is believed to be genuine. This example speaks for itself, the paintwork is superb as is the engine bay, interior, and underside. Offered with its foreign title, proof of UK taxes paid, and the Nova document the Alfa will require registering here in the UK before use. Very few examples are as original as this one, it's a fantastic opportunity to acquire a sound Alfa Romeo Montreal that is ready to enjoy, and no doubt will enhance any collection. Buyers should also note that the Montreal has recently been serviced, along with the Spiker injection unit being overhauled, including fitting a new belt. It also has a current and strict foreign equivalent of an MoT and is MoT exempt here in the UK.

1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda Transmission: automaticMileage:90000The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production until February 1971. An all new design by Paul Bracq to replace the 190 SL and 300 SL Roaster. The 280 SL had a powerful 2.8 litre version of Mercedes inline-six and used Bosch fuel injection. To save on weight the bonnet, 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. The comparatively short and wide chassis, combined with an excellent suspension, powerful disc brakes and radial tyres gave the W113 superb handling for its time. 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. The styling of the front paid homage to the legendary 300 SL with its characteristic upright Bosch 'fishbowl' headlights and simple chrome grille, dominated by the large three-pointed star in the nose panel. First registered on the 25th March 1970, this desirable larger engine 280 SL Pagoda with the fabulous automatic gearbox which was ahead of its time in the 70's has been owned by our vendor for the past five years and for 10 years by the owner before him. This has been a well-cared for SL and garaged when not enjoying the British sunshine, accompanied by the hardtop this example was treated in 2018 to a new mohair hood and shorty after all new walnut woodwork surround to the dashboard. Prior to our vendors ownership the car we are informed had the gearbox reconditioned and of recent has been cared for by Mercedes-Benz specialists Autoclass in Milton Keynes. Our vendor stated that short of a fully restored example they to do not come much better. A very well priced Pagoda in the best combination with the larger engine and sublime Mercedes-Benz-engineered automatic gearbox, coupled to an original UK car in iconic silver coachwork and blue interior.  

1970 Jaguar E-Type Series II 2+2 Fixedhead Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:65649Launched, initially as a grand tourer in two-seater coupé form, the Jaguar E-Type, with its sleek lines, was a revelation in 1961, especially with respect to its top speed of 150mph. In 1968, several revisions were introduced, these being, open headlights without the earlier glass covers, a wrap-around rear bumper, re-positioned and larger front indicators and tail lights, now mounted below the bumpers, better cooling aided by an enlarged air intake, twin electric cooling fans and up-rated brakes. The interior and dashboard were also re-designed with rocker switches being substituted for toggle switches whilst re-designed seats were fitted which were certainly more comfortable than the Series I cars. In addition, air conditioning and power steering were available as factory options whilst the transmission retained the all synchromesh manual four-speed gearbox of the later Series I cars. With these changes, the car became known as the Series II E-Type.  Manufactured on 4th May 1970 this E-Type 2+2 was supplied by A.J.Beal Ltd. in Exeter to J.Conway Outfitters Ltd. in Plymouth and registered on 8th October 1970. The Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirms this to be a 4.2 litre example that was fitted with a manual gearbox. It would appear that the second owner of the car had a full engine rebuild in 1979 at a cost of £1,031.92. This is made up from a long list of parts and 186 hours labour at a cost of £4 per hour ! The current vendor has owned this Jaguar since 13th June 1984 and is only the third owner. In the early 1980s the car won numerous awards at a plethora of different events. However the vendor intentionally used the car less and less to keep the mileage down, she currently shows a modest 65,649 miles. Presenting in good solid condition, this E-Type will require recommissioning having been dry stored in a carpeted and heated garage for a number of years. Offered for sale for the first time in over 38 years this Jaguar 2+2 coupé sits proudly on wire wheels and is a true British icon. 

1964 Morris Mini Cooper Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:63594To many, its designer Alec Issigonis included, the notion that the Mini might have a future as anything other than basic transport was an anathema, and the idea of a high-performance version was laughable. One man though, saw it quite differently. Racing car manufacturer John Cooper already knew quite a bit about tuning BMC's A-Series engine - he was running the company's Formula Junior effort at the time - and a test drive in a prototype Mini convinced him of the car's competition potential. The result, launched in September 1961, was the Mini Cooper, a car that offered a size/price/performance package that was nothing short of miraculous. The Mini Cooper soon established its credentials as a rally and race winner, and the stage was set for even faster versions. This stunning example was registered in August 1964. This enthusiast owned, iconic Mini features its original gearbox, engine and bodyshell and has benefitted from a full restoration which was completed in 2019 and now presents extremely well in Almond Green paintwork and a contrasting white roof which is complemented by seats trimmed in green and grey. The file for this impressive car contains a photographic history of the restoration, receipts for new parts, previous MoT certificates and a heritage certificate. Offered to auction with a V5 registration document this authentic Mini is well estimated given the continuing popularity of the model.  

1979 Rolls-Royce Corniche Transmission: paddleMileage:51800The Corniche was Rolls-Royce's coupé and convertible version of the Silver Shadow produced between 1971 and 1996. The Corniche was named 'Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward two door fixed head coupé' before 1971 when the Corniche name was applied. The exterior design was by John Polwhele Blatchley. The independent coach maker James Young had already custom-made a two-door coupe variant of the Silver Shadow, but Young's model proved less popular and was soon discontinued. The model was assembled and finished in London at Mulliner Park Ward as continuation of the 1965 Silver Shadow coupé and 1967 drophead. The Corniche was also sold as a Bentley, though that model became known as the Continental in 1984. The first car to wear the Corniche name was a 1939 prototype based on the Bentley Mk. V which was never produced because of the onset of World War II. The Corniche was available both as a coupé and convertible, with the former discontinued in 1982. The car used the standard Rolls-Royce V8 engine. It had an aluminium-silicon alloy block and aluminium cylinder heads with cast iron wet cylinder liners. The bore was 4.1 in and the stroke was 3.9 in for a total of 6.75 litres. Twin SU carburettors were initially fitted with a single Solex four barrel carburettor introduced in 1975. A four-wheel independent suspension with coil springs was augmented with a hydraulic self-levelling system at first on all four, but later in the rear wheels only. Four wheel disc brakes were specified, with ventilated discs added for 1972. This particular example is the ultra-rare 5000 series. These were in production however for less than three years and very few were produced, just over 300 we believe. They benefitted from the underpinnings of the new Silver Spirit with hydropneumatics self-levelling suspension, modified with Girling automatic hydraulic ride height control system and gas-charged shock absorbers. The braking was also updated to Silver Spirit specification using the new Mineral oil system. This car has been in the same ownership for the last 25 years, during which time much expenditure has been spent on the car with specialists including the Chelsea Workshop in the 1980s, where it was serviced no less than 22 times between 1982 and 1991 and it was at that time in this wonderful car's history that it was fitted with the desirable Harvey Bailey suspension. In 1983 it had a speedometer change at 25,510 miles. The car was extensively restored in the late 1990s when the engine was rebuilt, re trimmed and had a full bare metal re spray in the colour you see today blue/black. A full photographic record of this restoration is included in the history file. Also, this Rolls Royce is fitted with the rare and desirable factory fitted sunroof and comes with cream leather interior, air conditioning and electric windows. It is also important to note that it is Tax, MoT exempt and Ulez free! A truly rare luxury British coupe highly sought after by connoisseurs around the world. Offered with No Reserve, this surely must be one of the best opportunities available today!

1987 Land Rover Defender 90 V8 Transmission: manualMileage:179863This 3.5 V8 is a fantastic example that stands out as one of the best we have seen. The list of works completed is extremely impressive. Rebuilt to the owners specification with most of the work being undertaken by the well-respected specialists Hardy engineering, and subject to a recent repaint by Land Rover approved bodyshop Fastlane, this Defender presents wonderfully in white with a retrimmed black interior and all new Mohair soft-top. It benefits from an upgraded stereo and has an all new full carpet set throughout. For extra security a battery cut-off has been fitted and for safety a full length, Land Rover specification roll cage has been added, along with a fire extinguisher and a centre cubby box. The engine is a 3.5 litre V8 with Holley four-barrel carburettors and an Offenhauser manifold, a Lumenition ignition system including coil and Magnecore ignition leads. It is fitted with NGK spark plugs and a Facet red top electric fuel pump. The exhaust system is stainless steel including the manifolds. The car also benefits from a new water pump, starter motor, thermostat, viscous coupling and radiator, filled with Land Rover long life coolant. The LT85 gearbox and transfer box have been fully rebuilt with new shafts and bearings and a complete new clutch. The front and rear differentials were rebuilt and new driveshafts were fitted front and rear. Both front swivel joints have been replaced as have the brakes which were rebuilt by Challenger 4x4, and now feature new discs and pads and new brake shoes to the rear. The Land Rover Defender series is an enduring legend that is loved by enthusiasts internationally. This example has been rebuilt with no expense spared and is offered to auction with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until December 2022. Given the continued strength of the Defender market this example is worthy of any serious buyer.  

1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I Transmission: automaticMileage:85729The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was a luxury saloon car built from 1965 through to 1980 and was the first Rolls-Royce to be constructed using a monocoque chassis and, to date, has the largest production volume of any Rolls-Royce. The original Shadow was 3½ inches narrower and seven inches shorter than its predecessor, the Silver Cloud, but managed to offer increased passenger and luggage space thanks to more efficient packaging. Aside from a more modern appearance and construction, the Silver Shadow introduced many new features such as disc brakes replacing drum brakes and independent rear suspension rather than the ageing live axle design of previous models. It featured a 189bhp 6.75 litre V8 engine from 1970 onwards, mated to a Turbo Hydromantic 400 transmission supplied by General Motors. The superb ride quality achieved in the Shadow was thanks to the innovative high-pressure hydraulic system with dual circuit braking and hydraulic self-levelling suspension. Having purchased this Rolls-Royce in 2019 the vendor then spent over £14,000 on the mechanics, ensuring longevity and reliability. The owner before the current vendor owned the car for 30 years and clearly enjoyed the comfort and prestige of such a handsome example. These iconic Rolls-Royce's are delightful to look at and even better to drive. Start the engine and the first thing that is apparent is both the smoothness and quietness of the 6750cc V8. The driving experience is first class in the way she tends to glide over any uneven road surfaces. Supplied with a V5 registration document and a collection of invoices confirming the recent expenditure, this is a lovely example of the iconic Silver Shadow sensibly priced for a new owner.  

2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Spider Transmission: manualMileage:40536Manufactured from 2003 to 2013 the Lamborghini Gallardo is important in the history of the Sant Agata firm as it represents the most successful model in their history. Both eminently usable and importantly, reliable, the V10 sportscar had total Audi backup which made it hugely desirable and subsequently, the most successful sportscar built from this particular Carrozzeria. Its secret lies in its light, but stiff space frame chassis mounted to a five litre, V10 engine powering all four wheels on demand. Offered with two choices of transmission; a conventional six-speed manual transmission and an advanced six-speed electro-hydraulically controlled, semi-automatic which Lamborghini abbreviates to 'E-gear'. This allows the driver to make gear changes much faster than they could with a manual gearbox. This Lamborghini was registered on 6th July 2007 and presents in delightful condition. The blue coachwork is unmarked as is the black interior. The specification of this Gallardo is impressive with the car having the all-important front lift, factory satellite navigation and reversing camera. Standard equipment includes heated seats and dual climate control. However perhaps the most interesting feature of all is this 5.0 litre V10 Lamborghini fitted with a manual gearbox! Supplied with a V5 registration document, together with an MoT test certificate valid until 28th March 2023 and an impressive service history. A true supercar with a price tag of over £135,000 when new, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a properly maintained example that is surely a future classic. It would be difficult to find a Gallardo in better condition.

1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SL Pagoda Transmission: manualMileage:93110The very pretty and highly desirable Mercedes-Benz 250SL was the successor to the popular 230 SL and was first introduced to the public at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show. The brief production run ended a year later in January 1968 and as a result of this short run, the 250 SL is the rarest of the W 113 (Pagoda) series cars. These lovely German stalwarts were offered with a four-speed automatic, a four-speed manual box or the ZF five-speed. Also, for the first time an optional limited slip differential was also available. This fabulous fully restored, including engine rebuild, Pagoda Mercedes is presented in red with black leather interior and is left hand drive. Its restoration was carried out by various Mercedes-Benz specialists and looks fabulous. The car had a full glass-out respray, brand new Mercedes-Benz grained leather interior including full dash, door cards, seats etc. Brand new salt and pepper carpets have been installed and brand new wood including dash and surrounds. The restoration also included a brand new Mohair hood, exhaust, headlights and rubber seals throughout, interior works carried out by leading marque specialists, D Class of Surrey cost in excess of £16,000. The full list of the works carried out can be seen in the history file as well as the summary of the engine work which was carried out and it has covered zero miles since its completion. As part of its engine rebuild, it received a full tune up and reset all settings and controls, reset mixture/tappets and clearances as well as draining the oil, brake fluid and the braking system was fully bled. The original documents held on file include its Service Book, stamped Mercedes-Benz Kundendienst, Germany.  Fastidious attention to maintaining originality including correct period Becker Europa radio, Hirschmann aerial and new Michelin tyres.  This truly is a superb restoration and is resplendent in its gleaming new red paint. One of the finest of this marque on the market today.  

1988 Volkswagen Dehler Profi T25 Campervan Transmission: manualMileage:136214Dehler is a German brand of sailing yachts. It originated in the former Dehler shipyard that was founded in the 1960s by Willi and Heinz Dehler. As of 2009, the brand belongs to German yacht manufacturer Hanse Yachts, Greifswald. Dehler cooperates with the yacht design studio Judel/Vrolijk & Co.  Accustomed to building furnishings for tight awkward spaces on yachts, in the 80s Dehler decided to put their hands to high end bespoke VW camper conversions, a successful yet niche model line continued through the T3 series onto the later T4 the Dehler Profi. A successful run of around 5,000 units sold before the plug was finally pulled in 1997 after 16 years of production. At its peak, the Profi camper van had accounted for around 15% of Dehler's turnover, and the skilled use of lightweight ABS mouldings and other features in its interior probably had a beneficial influence on some aspects of the yacht designs. This stunning 1988 Dehler Profi T25 camper was imported into the UK from new in 1988 and has been in single ownership and garaged ever since. Presented in blue with coachwork in time warp condition this example has the high-top roof and accompanying awning. Looking through the photos and original brochures, the fit and finish of these Dehler vans is far superior to the Westfalia's and the like of the time. Indeed, even by modern standards they are relatively luxurious. Included is a full shower/wash area, cooker, and beds as you would expect. We are told the owner ordered the camper from the stand at a motorshow and specified his van be exactly the same as the one on the stand costing £28,000, which at the time was nearly three times a Westfalia camper and equivalent to an S class Mercedes or Range Rover. The owner from new built a garage specifically for the van and when it wasn't on holiday it has been garaged, he also decided to underseal from new which has added to the ability to be offered in such incredible condition. Recently serviced and recommissioned by camper specialists including new water pump, belts and fluid change. Supplied with the original brochure, invoices for annual servicing and MoTs dating back to 1990 and shipping documents showing the import duty of £4,775. With a 1.6 litre turbo diesel engine, factory air conditioning and an options list longer than your arm, the campervan is offered with a valid MoT test certificate until June 2023 and history file including many original documents from the manufacturer. This is a real collectors example, original yet 'out of the box', practical and with a real slice of 80s style. Far more fun than a traditional VW camper and viewing is highly recommended.  

1976 Triumph Stag Transmission: automaticMileage:82098Launched in 1970, the Triumph Stag was a luxury grand tourer. Envisioned as a luxury sports car, it was designed to compete directly with the Mercedes-Benz SL class models. All Stags were four-seater convertible coupés but for structural rigidity and to meet new American rollover standards at the time, the Stag required a B-pillar 'roll bar' hoop connected to the windscreen frame by a T-bar. A new 2.5 litre, V8 designed and developed by Triumph's Harry Webster was later enlarged to 2,997cc. Most Stags were fitted with a Borg Warner automatic gearbox although manual gearboxes with overdrive were available. Electric windows, power steering and power-assisted brakes were fitted as standard. Originally registered on 23rd April 1976, this Triumph presents in the colour combination of green with black interior. The engine has just been rebuilt and runs very well. It should be noted that the mileage covered on the engine since the rebuild is approximately 200 therefore a gentle period of 'running-in' must be adhered to. We are advised the automatic transmission operates as it should and that the car drives with no know faults. This well-priced and handsome Triumph Stag, with automatic gearbox, will carry you elegantly through the summer.  

2015 Land Rover Defender 90 XS Transmission: manualMileage:55000The Land Rover Defender was launched in 1948 and, incredibly, production only finished in January 2016 after a continuous run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 vehicles from the Series III Land Rover. A full-length bonnet, revised grille, plus the fitting of wheel arch extensions to cover wider-track axles are the most noticeable changes. Internally, coil springs offered a more comfortable ride and a permanent four-wheel drive system derived from the Range Rover featuring a two-speed transfer gearbox with a lockable centre differential. A modernised interior and a new series of progressively more powerful and modern engine characterised things under the skin. Presented in Zermatt Silver with Santorini Black roof and bonnet this 90 hardtop Defender XS with six-speed manual gearbox boasts just one previous owner and was first registered April 2015. Supplied with original Land Rover high back heated leather seats, heated front and rear windows, air conditioning, full black Alcantara headlining, Bluetooth connection, five new BF Goodrich tyres with unmarked gloss black alloy Sawtooth wheels and mud flaps all around. The uprated look continues with gloss black KBX wing grilles along with black twisted steering guard, rear NAS step/towbar and billet aluminium window blocks. A Moto-lita steering wheel is fitted, however should you wish the 'as new' original Land Rover wheel is still available. Importantly, in addition to this there is a factory alarm plus a hidden kill/immobiliser switch and a full Land Rover expedition roof-rack and access ladder was installed from new. We are informed the underside of the car is in extremely good condition but as a preventative measure the vendor has had a full underbody Dinitrol treatment. Accompanied by a comprehensive main dealer/specialist service history this is a very attractive example.

2004 Mercedes-Benz SL600 V12 Transmission: automaticMileage:49000The R230 generation of Mercedes-Benz SL Class was introduced at the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show and 2001 Bologna Motor Show, replacing the R129. The R230 underwent revisions in 2006 and 2008 and was superseded by the new SL Class R231 in 2011. The SL600 is the highest output version of the non AMG SL Class models. It uses a V12 engine which produced 493bhp, thus making it a very rapid luxury sports car with 60mph achieved in just 3.6 seconds when tested by Car and Driver despite the factory stating the figure at more modest 4.7! First registered 16th April 2004, this silky smooth S600 V12 is presented in metallic black with contrasting cream leather trim. With a low mileage and just three former keepers, the last service was provided by Lookers Mercedes-Benz in July 2021 (B service) and the MoT test certificate is valid until October 2022. These S600 Mercedes-Benz are rare and with this low mileage, it is described by the current owner as in fantastic condition throughout. The V12 engines on these 5.5 litre cars, coupled to the fantastic folding hardtop, make for incredible tourers and very practical while ferociously quick.

2003 Bentley Arnage T Transmission: automaticMileage:77102The Bentley Arnage T, with its top speed of 170mph, is the world's fastest saloon in 2002, propelling the driver, in total luxury. 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. This example was first registered on 1st September 2003 and is finished in impressive black coachwork with a stainless-steel grille and a matching black hide interior with diamond pattern stitching and embroidered Bentley motifs. A feature of the interior is the turned alloy dashboard and trimmings. Along with the V5 registration document and MoT test certificate valid until February 2023, the car is supplied with a book pack and a service record which is reassuringly stamped 16 times. This comprehensively optioned luxury saloon represents incredible value for money and a delightfully thrilling motoring experience.

1974 Ford Capri Mk. II Ghia (3.0 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:17980This is a rare opportunity to acquire an early pre-facelift Mk. II Capri 3.0 Ghia that benefits from the highly desirable manual gearbox. Considered by many Ford enthusiasts to be the Holy Grail of the model. This 1974 example has covered a mere 17,980 miles and presents in original and unrestored condition and features the period correct Ronal alloy wheels and a chrome roof mounted rear window washer. The original sunroof instruction sticker remains attached to the factory fitted windscreen, even the original supplying dealer Bristol Street Motors number plates, rear window sticker and tax disc holder remain. The file for this time warp example contains the four early MoT test certificates the car passed before spending the next 39 years in professional storage. Following this recommissioning was undertaken, during which the engine was flushed, the brakes were overhauled and received new front calipers, pads, repair to the master cylinder and various brake pipes and hoses. The radiator was re-cored, oil and filters were changed, a new battery and four new tyres were fitted. The cost of these works was £2,000. A completely new sports exhaust system was sourced from the Capri Club and now fitted gives an amazing roar. This wonderful Capri then passed its first MoT in forty years with no advisories! Presented to auction with a V5 registration document and although exempt by age an MoT test certificate valid until May 2023, an original operation and care handbook and the early MoT's. Given the recent popularity of similar models this Capri must surely be a must have for any serious collector.
