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 The R230 underwent revisions in 2006 and 2008 and was superseded by the new SL Class R231 in 2011.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.
1960 Ford Anglia 997cc Transmission: manualMileage:64008When the Anglia 105E was introduced in September 1959, Ford switched to an overhead valve engine for its smallest family saloon. The 997cc four-cylinder unit proved to be a very reliable unit and lent itself to being tuned, hence the success in Formula Three and Formula Junior. The suspension retained the McPherson strut at the front and live rear axle, however the gearbox was uprated to a four-speed unit helping the Anglia to a top speed of 73mph. Styling of the 105E was interesting with an 'open mouth' grille and reverse sloping rear window. The Anglia was an outstanding success for Ford, selling more than a million units until production ended in 1967. This Anglia was first registered on 1st March 1960. Presented in good order throughout it can only be classed as a genuine example with many original items still in place after 60 years. Starting on the button and driving with no known faults this 105E certainly evokes memories to men and women of a certain age. Supplied with a V5C registration document, showing four former keepers this Ford Anglia 997 is sure to appeal to classic Ford collectors. Recently fitted with new carpets throughout the Anglia looks superb and is huge amounts of fun! Offered for sale without reserve this is a fantastic opportunity.
2010 Jaguar XKR '75' Edition Transmission: automaticMileage:55931The XK8 was launched in 1996 to replace the XJ-S. Two body styles were produced, a coupé and a convertible and the car was the first in the Jaguar line-up to use Jaguar's newly developed V8 engine. In 2000, the supercharged XKR was added to the range. This produced a staggering 503 horsepower, a subtle rear spoiler, wire mesh front grille and red exterior emblems were identifying features. The XKR's engine was made in England, the ignition system was from NGK in Japan, the transmission was a Mercedes-Benz 722.6, the lighting system was by Valeo in France and the supercharger was made by Eaton in the USA, it was truly a world car. The redesigned XK was styled by Jaguar's chief designer Ian Callum. The standard XK model has a limited top speed of 158mph whilst the XKR had a limited top speed of 174mph. Mike Cross built this limited production road car, which actually made its debut at the 2010 festival. He gave it stronger suspension uprights for tighter camber control, stiffer springs (28% front, 32% rear), recalibrated adaptive dampers and slightly wider wheels (up half an inch at the front, 1 inch at the rear), the back rims wearing 10mm wider rubber too. The front and rear spoilers are the same as those available on other XKRs equipped with the optional cosmetic Speed Pack, but the deeper side sills are unique to the 75. Every car came in Stratus Grey, but the silver wheelarch eyebrows are optional. A new exhaust unleashes a mightier roar, hinting at the extra engine power under the bonnet. When Jaguar introduced the new 5.0-litre engines, the supercharged version actually had to be slightly detuned to preserve the transmission. But the XKR 75 got an improved torque converter, which meant the engine was allowed to deliver the full 523bhp, up from 503bhp in lesser Jags. Understood to be one of only 20 right hand drive examples of the 75 edition built, this fabulous example which was a mighty £85,500 when new is presented in Stratus Grey (as they all were) with black leather interior. These cars had a limited top speed of 174 mph and 0-60mph was achieved in a staggering 4.4 seconds! Its bodywork has a front splitter, extended sills, a rear defuser and a larger rear spoiler. It is fitted with red calipers and 20 inch Vortex forged alloys. With its superb Supercharged V8 producing 523bhp, this exhilarating Jaguar sounds fabulous and is great to drive at a fraction of the cost when new.
1980 BMW 635 CSi Transmission: automaticMileage:88453Successor to the race proven E9 3.0CS/CSi, the BMW 6-series was introduced in August 1976. More forgiving than its predecessors, it utilised a modified version of the 5-series saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension and powerful disc brakes. A natural rival to the 928 and XJS, the four-seater 6-series proved more capacious than the Porsche and sportier than the Jaguar. Immediately recognisable thanks to its distinctive 'shark nose' frontal styling and thin pillared glasshouse it boasts real road presence. An impression backed up by the various versions of BMW's mighty M30, SOHC straight-six engine fitted throughout the range. Second only to the BMW Motorsport tuned M6 version, the 635CSi's 3430cc unit developed some 216bhp and 232lbft of torque propelling it from 0-60mph in 8.4 seconds and on to 135mph. This lovely totally original, completely unrestored example is one of the few 1st generation E12 based 6 series left on the roads today. It retains its original metallic blue paint which is in good condition and also retains its period correct Pioneer audio and a very rare interior cloth option, which has aged beautifully, all of which make this particular example stand out from the crowd. This car has only had four previous owners and the history file contains proof of previous sales, various road tax and MoTs and also invoices for circa £8,000 of work carried out recently whilst recommissioning. A wonderful 'time wharp' example of a truly iconic German sports car revered worldwide.
1994 TVR 3000S V8 Transmission: manualMileage:69360Small scale car producers TVR played the 'Lotus alternative' roll throughout the 1960s and '70s with a range of pretty, curvaceous fiberglass coupé bodies sitting on a steel tube backbone chassis. Into the early 1980s and TVR caught up with the Origami trend for more angular bodies and though still dynamically excellent machines, the uncompromising styling of the Tasmin and its brethren proved to have a relatively short shelf life. For the V8 S they tweaked the engine up to 3.9 litres with a 10.5:1 compression ratio, popped on gas flowed heads with free breathing manifolds and inserted a high lift cam. The resultant 240 bhp and 270 lb/ft of torque propelled the roadster, via a Rover five-speed gearbox and a limited slip differential, to 60 in five seconds and on to 150mph while giving it real world 50 to 70 in top gear performance that was superior to an Aston Martin Virage or Ferrari Testarossa. 'Boom', as they say these days. This nice British classic is presented in Cooper Green with cream interior and has only had four owners from new which is rare for these sports cars. It was originally owned by BP International and is supplied with a comprehensive service history with many stamps in the book and its servicing has mainly been carried out by TVR dealerships until 2000 when it was followed by many TVR and sports car specialists. More recently it has been looked after by Automark (specialist tuning company). It has the desirable targa top which provides open top motoring and its four litre V8 is mated to a five-speed gearbox. The car drives well according to the owner, with its manual gearbox a joy to use and looking good on its original wheels and it also comes with a spare key and a fresh MoT test certificate. Super British sports car with traditional brutish V8 - great!
1970 Volkswagen Beach Buggy Transmission: manualMileage:7981Starting with the Meyers Manx in the early Sixties the dune buggy craze took off in America. Meyers named it Manx for its stubby tail with the engine exposed, like the breed of cat. Even the buggy's stance, low at the front and high at the rear, emulated its feline namesake. Bruce F. Meyers, a Californian engineer, artist, boat builder and surfer, produced the Manx at his Fountain Valley, SoCal-based facilities from 1964 through 1971. Used up VW Beetles were abundant in California and the surf culture was at its peak in the Sixties. The dune buggy epitomized the California lifestyle, and as the concept was so simple and so inviting, it spread quickly. The Meyers Manx appeared in several movies, including Elvis Presley films, and the 1968 The Thomas Crown Affair, which contains a lengthy beach driving scene in which Steve McQueen drives a Manx with Faye Dunaway at his side. Registered on 5th August 1970 this excellent example looks superb in ocean blue coachwork over a wonderful black interior. The beach buggy drives very well indeed and sounds fantastic when on song. Sitting proudly on chrome wheels shod with good tyres all round the beach buggy is also fitted with the very powerful 1584cc engine, this example is a real one off and looks fantastic! The chromework shines bright and the paintwork and interior both present exceptionally well. Currently part of a significant private collection, with in house technicians it is exercised occasionally and maintained where necessary. Offered with a sizeable history file including various old MoT test certificates, its current UK registration document, various sundry bills, a current MoT valid until October 2022, and as new all-weather covers. Driven to the sale from the heart of Kent this is arguably the best beach buggy we have ever seen and the best in the UK, and we are sure it will be a sound purchase for the new custodian.
1988 Evante Convertible Series I Transmission: manualMileage:33644Renowned worldwide for its successful racing engines, the Spalding-based firm of Vegantune diversified into car making in the early 1980s with the Lotus Elan-inspired Evante, a separate company - Evante Cars Ltd - being set up to handle its manufacture. Although Elan-like in appearance, the glassfibre-bodied Evante employed a stronger, tubular-steel spaceframe chassis rather than the Lotus's backbone type and was powered by Vegantune's own Ford-based VTA twin-cam engine. Producing 170bhp and 140lb/ft of torque from its 1.7 litres, this engine, with its belt-driven camshafts and accessible water pump, was reckoned much easier to maintain than the Lotus version. Only produced to individual customer order, the Evante failed to weather the late 1980s recession. After only a limited number had been made, the operation was sold to a consortium of Spalding businessmen, who continued production of the Evante 140TC. In the autumn of 1992, Evante was sold to another specialist vehicle manufacturer - Newark-based Fleur De Lys Automobile Manufacturing Limited - which re-engineered the chassis to accept the 1.8 litre Ford Zetec 16 valve engine. This rare example of this British sports car is presented in Metallic Blue with blue leather interior, with an attractive Walnut dashboard. It was sent back to Vegantune main agent at 20,000 miles and was fully upgraded to Series II Sprint specification. This included new upgraded bearings and pistons, reworked big valve head and camshafts, twin 45mm twin choke carburettors, new stainless steel exhaust and upgraded Spax adjustable coil over shock absorbers. The car also benefits from a new hood and comes with its tonneau covers which are in good condition. There are two history folders accompanying the car with specification sheets, old MoTs and receipts for work carried out. The current vendor has fastidiously maintained this great little sportscar and she now has brand new carpets, an engine that runs very well and brakes that work efficiently. Powered by the lively and great sounding 1700cc Twin Cam engine which provides exciting performance with great handling to match. Supplied with a V5 document together with an MoT valid until 3rd May 2023; marketed originally as the 'Lotus eater' it is easy to see why. Such a great fun car for the summer.
1995 Jaguar XJS Celebration Convertible Transmission: automaticMileage:460001975 saw the launch of the Jaguar XJS. In a year that Margaret Thatcher was made the leader of the Conservative Party and petrol was 70 pence per gallon, the new grand tourer from Jaguar was introduced as the replacement for the iconic E-Type. During an astonishing build run of 21 years, 115,413 units were produced by the Coventry manufacturer at their world famous Browns Lane factory. The final, more aerodynamic version of the XJS was introduced in 1991. At the same time, the car benefitted from a revision to the rear brakes; they were now fitted with outboard rear disc brakes, instead of the more complicated inboard items on previous models. With a more efficient engine and subtle design changes, this version was available until production ceased. In 1995, the last full year of production, the 'Celebration' edition was produced to commemorate Jaguar's 60th year. Originally registered on 29th June 1995, this XJS convertible is finished in turquoise with cream leather interior. Owned by our vendor since 2002 this example clearly has been maintained to a high standard including a significant service and checkover by XJS specialists in the autumn of 2019. It has been serviced regularly since then. It will be supplied with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate until June 2023, two sets of keys and an extensive history file and original manuals. As set out above, the 'Celebration' model signalled the end of an era and low mileage original examples of the convertible in particular are becoming increasingly rare and highly sought after.
2005 Porsche 991 / 997 Carrera 2S Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:45910The 996 model of the 911 Porsche was replaced by the 997 in 2005.The new model shares less than a third of its parts with the outgoing 996 but is technically similar to it. At the launch two versions were introduced. They were the Carrera and the more powerful and better equipped Carrera S. This was the first time since 1977 that the 911 was offered in two power versions. The specification differences included larger and more powerful brakes with red calipers, lowered suspension featuring the 'Porsche Active Suspension Management' system, xenon headlights and a sports steering wheel. This nice low mileage example is presented in black with black leather interior and a black electrically operated hood. It comes with a large book pack with some servicing invoices and was last inspected in July 2021 when a major service was carried out, replacing cambelts, plugs, filters, oil pump, tandem vac and successful bore scope was carried out. Its exhaust system was replaced this year and its roof operation and micro switch were replaced, the air conditioning was re-gassed and the bonnet struts were replaced. Its 3.8 litre six-cylinder engine is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox and it comes with satellite navigation and air conditioning and has a fresh MoT test certificate. With a very reasonable reserve price, this iconic Porsche sports car offers everything one would expect.
1973 Jaguar Series I XJ12 (Short Wheelbase) Transmission: automaticMileage:861The Jaguar XJ6 was the long-awaited replacement for both the Mk. X, S-Type and Mk. I saloons of the 1960's. The XJ had an all-new body that utilised the legendary XK engine initially in either 2.8 or 4.2 litre form. Independent rear suspension was essentially a modified design from the previous saloons. The XJ debuted in 1968 and was produced in three different Series through until 1992. It was the last Jaguar to have direct development input from the company's founder, Sir William Lyons. At the launch, he referred to the new XJ saloon as the finest Jaguar ever. It was indeed very well received and set new standards for ride quality and comfort in its class. A new flagship model was announced in July 1972 featuring simplified grille treatment and housing the mighty 5.3, V12 engine used in the E-Type. The car as presented at that time was the world's only mass-produced 12-cylinder four-door car, and was able to boast a top speed 'around 140 mph'. Despatched from Jaguar Cars on 28th December 1972 to Henlys in Bournemouth and registered on 3rd January 1973, this Jaguar has been owned by the vendor since 1st June 1988. The Old English White coachwork is in good order as is the blue leather trim, it should be pointed out that the headlining is suffering from the usual sagging. These mighty Jaguars were outstanding cars at the time, the level of luxury, smoothness and prestige set the standard for others to follow. A good history folder accompanies this XJ12 short wheelbase with invoices dating back to 1992. The vendor has clearly looked after this Jaguar, with the car residing in a carpeted, heated garage. She has been used little of late and will require some light recommissioning. This is a very honest good straight example, the vendor even went to the extent of having a badge bar fitted in a unique way. Offered for sale for the first time in 34 years this XJ12 will attract admiring glances wherever she appears.
2004 Honda Integra Type R Transmission: manualMileage:88124This Honda Integra Type R was produced from 2001 to 2006. It is part of the DC5 generation Integra. It is a front-wheel drive front-engined two-door medium coupé with four seats. With 214bhp, the naturally aspirated two litre 16v Inline 4 petrol engine (Honda K-series K20A) and accelerates the Integra Type-R to 62mph in 6.5 seconds and on to a maximum speed of 150 mph. It comes with a six-speed manual gearbox. This Integra was imported in August 2006 and presents well in white with a stylish red interior. Offered with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until January 2023, this sleek coupé is described by the vendor as being tremendous fun to drive and has been used recently on a daily basis. These Hondas quick, agile and would give many similar more modern cars a run for their money.
1998 Jaguar XJ8 (4.0 litre) Transmission: automaticMileage:55000The first XJ was launched in 1968 and the designation has been used for successive Jaguar flagship models ever since. The original model was the last Jaguar saloon to have had the input of Sir William Lyons, the company's founder. With the introduction of the X308 generation in 1997 came a switch from the 'XJ6' nomenclature to 'XJ8', reflecting the fact that the X308 cars were powered by a new V8 engine. The exterior styling of the X308 was similar to its predecessor the X300, with minor refinements such as a change to oval indicator lenses and round fog lights. This stunning 4.0 litre V8 XJ8 was first registered on the 1st August 1998 and is presented in unmarked red with tan leather trim. Previously owned by the popular singer and TV personality Val Doonican who purchased the Jaguar from Merritts of Amersham, who had been using the car as their demonstrator from new. This is a genuine low mileage car and MoT test certificates back to the first MoT prove as much. This example also has a comprehensive service history with the original booklet fully stamped up to date. Offered with the original Jaguar handbooks, wallets and original spare key, fob and dealer keyring. On inspection we couldn't find any signs of rust and this is clearly a cherished example with stunning interior trim. With a like new appearance you would struggle to find another in this condition. Guide Price £4,000 - £7,000
1972 Mercedes-Benz 350 SLC Transmission: automaticMileage:27801The R 107 and C 107 took the chassis components of the mid-size Mercedes-Benz W 114 model and mated them to the larger engines from the W 116 S-Class. The SL version was a two-seat roadster with standard soft and hardtop with optional folding seats for the rear bench. The SLC (C107) derivative was a two-door hardtop coupé with normal rear seats. The SLC is commonly referred to as an 'SL coupé', but in reality, it was an S-class coupé replacing the former saloon-based 280/300 SE coupé in the Mercedes-Benz line-up. The SLC was replaced earlier than the SL, in 1981, with a much larger model, the 380 SEC based on the new S class. Sales in North America began in 1972, with the name 350 SL, but with a larger 4.5 litre, V8 engine and was renamed 450 SL/SLC. This incredibly low mileage example is presented in silver with a blue velour trim; it has covered a mere 27,801 miles from new. With just four previous owners, this example was owned by the head of Mercedes-Benz Owner's Club while in Jersey until 1993 and was cared for by Jacksons Garage. Well looked after, this Mercedes-Benz was garaged throughout the winter months and has always been very well maintained. A recent maintenance by leading UK specialist, the SL Shop, has included new brake calipers and rear pads. This time warp example, in great condition and with a low mileage, is a true collector's opportunity not to be missed.
1994 Harley-Davidson 'Jesse James' Pro-Street Chopper Transmission: manualMileage:22009This fabulous Harley Davidson Chopper was professionally built by Jeez Louise in South Bourne and painted in Bournemouth by Guy Terry Spencer with the final build and wiring costing in total circa £20,000. The frame was provided by West Coast Choppers (Jesse James) soft tail, modified to narrow seat width with matching oil tank. The fuel tank was manufactured by Parker Fabrication in Bournemouth and is aluminium. Both fenders were custom made to fit the bike and painted the same as the fuel and oil tank. Its base colour is black with ghost flames, engineered finish strip and red pin stripes. The twin seat was also custom made for the bike. Its 1640 cc engine is in chrome and has high compression caps fitted mated to a Rev Tech six-speed gearbox with OMP fluid clutch. Its wheels are from the USA and are Cobra Billet wheels with polished rims and black painted webs. These are some of the attributes of the bike, but a more concise list of details is in the history file. A superb looking bike with that nostalgic Harley exhaust note - very cool indeed!
1997 Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG Transmission: automaticMileage:210795AMG was founded as a racing engine forge in 1967 by former Mercedes-Benz engineers; the letters 'AMG' taken from their names; Aufecht, Melcher and Großaspach. In 1990, with AMG having become a high-profile purveyor of modified Mercedes-Benz cars, Daimler-Benz AG and AMG signed a contract of co-operation allowing AMG to leverage Daimler-Benz's extensive dealer network and leading to commonly developed vehicles (the first one being the Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG, in 1993). On 1st January 1999, Daimler-Chrysler acquired 51 percent of AMG shares and AMG was re-named to Mercedes-AMG. In 1995, the C-Class received its first genuine performance model, the C36 AMG, to counter the new six-cylinder BMW M3. Developed with AMG, it had racing-tuned suspension and the 3.6 litre engine had a general output of 276bhp. The C36 AMG accelerates from 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and top speed was limited to 155mph - an unlimited top speed was recorded at 169mph. This lovely example of this 'wolf in sheep's clothing' is presented in metallic blue with a black interior. This well-equipped example benefits from both a factory fitted sunroof and air conditioning. With a good service history and an impressive list of reconditioning works that have included a new radiator, uprated brakes including discs and pads all round, new fuel lines and a new fuel filter. Offered to auction with a V5 registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate these superb saloons were the envy of many and are highly sought after, still producing great performance which competes with many much younger modern sports cars.
1993 Mazda MX5 Transmission: manualMileage:85000There is little doubt that the MX5 re-invigorated the sportscar market on a global scale. Spirited performance combined with good looks, reliability and price put this incredible package firmly on the map. This Mazda MX5 is a genuine UK supplied car and is the desirable 1.8 iS model which benefitted from the more powerful 1.8 litre 130bhp engine as well as a driver's airbag, ABS, bracing bars to stiffen the body, electric door mirrors and a factory fitted immobiliser. Originally registered in Japan and imported to the UK in 2002, this 1.8 litre Mk. I MX5 is presented in red with black trim. Supplied with limited slip diff, electric windows, and air conditioning, much has been spent on this little gem. Recent works include a major service which encompassed a new water pump, thermostat, and belts. Also boasting new shocks and springs from the original specification coupled to new battery, wheels, and tyres. Recently, the seats have been re-upholstered in Italian leather with classic headrests and the bodywork has recently been rustproofed and attended to by MX5 restorers. Described by the vendor as in near perfect condition, he has gone to great lengths to ensure that every detail has been attended to. An excellent driving car with an MOT test certificate valid until March 2023, this is a fabulous genuine example. Guide Price £6,000 - £8,000
1991 BMW 850i Transmission: automaticMileage:128500Design of the 8 Series began in 1984 with the final design phase and production development in 1986. It debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in early September 1989 and was designed to move beyond the market of the original 6 Series. The 8 Series however had substantially improved performance as well as a far higher purchase price. Over 1.5 billion Deutsche Marks were spent on development; BMW used CAD tools, still unusual at the time, to design the car's all-new body. Combined with wind tunnel testing, the resulting car had a drag coefficient of 0.29 and offered the first V12 engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox on a road car. It was also one of the first vehicles to be fitted with an electronic drive-by-wire throttle.Originally supplied by the BMW main dealer on the 22 August 1991 this BMW 850i has been in a stable full of BMW's that our vendor has collected over the past decade, interestingly all in the same colour. Presented in maroon with fawn leather this example has just four former keepers. Upgraded cosmetically to a CSi specification it boasts the CSi wing mirrors, front spoiler and exhaust system. Owned by our vendor since 2013 the car has remained garaged and cared for. The paintwork is in very good order and inside displays the original plush extras that these executive coupés were lavished with.

A good mid 19th century French ormolu mantel clockSilvani, B, Paris, No 3704The key-hole shaped case surmounted by a handle over curved glazed side panels to an anthemion and lotus-leaf cast base, the 3 inch silvered engine turned dial with Breguet-style hands, the signed circular movement with tic-tac escapement and outside countwheel striking on a bell, with silk suspension and rare pendulum steady. Ticking and striking. Together with a winding key. 25cms (10ins) high. Footnotes:Provenance:The Dymoke family, then in the vendors family since 1930s. Sir Henry Dymoke, 1st Baronet (1801–1865), was a landowner from Lincolnshire whose family had held the role of the King's Champion during coronations since the time of Richard II in 1377. The role of the Champion was to act for the King in the event that someone challenged the new monarch's title to the throne; he would ride fully armoured into Westminster Hall where he would throw down the gauntlet. During the coronation of George IV in 1821 the challenge was the following: 'If any person, of whatever degree soever, high or low, shall deny or gainsay our Sovereign Lord George, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, son and next heir unto our Sovereign Lord the last King deceased, to be the right heir to the imperial Crown of this realm of Great Britain and Ireland, or that he ought not to enjoy the same; here is his Champion, who saith that he lieth, and is a false traitor, being ready in person to combat with him, and in this quarrel will adventure his life against him on what day soever he shall be appointed.'William IV and Victoria's coronations did not have the Champion and in exchange of the loss of his role, Sir Henry was appointed Baronet. At Edward VII's coronation in 1902 the then Baronet Dymoke was entrusted with the role of Standard Bearer, a role that was again fulfilled for George VI's and then Elizabeth II's coronations by Sir John.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A rare second quarter of the 19th century French Rococo-style bell-striking Carriage clock alarm and push repeatPaul Garnier, Paris, number 1029. The gilt brass case with handle formed of two crouching mythical beasts perched above the large escapement inspection window, the case top with floral and shield casting supported by four decorative pillars cast with shields, strapwork and fish, the solid rear door with named sliding dust covers, supported on a shield- and floral- cast base on shaped feet.

The movement with three spring barrels and silvered English lever platform escapement with cut and compensated bimetallic balance complete with timing screws and blued steel regulation lever, striking the hour and half-hours, with hour repeat, signed and numbered on the back of the frontplate. Ticking, striking, repeating, and functioning alarm. Together with a travel case and winding key, the latter fitting into a formed recess in the bottom of the case. 17.5cms (7ins) high.Footnotes:Paul Garnier (né Jean-Paul) was born in 1801 in Épinal, France, moving first to Luxeuil to carry out a watchmaking apprenticeship, and then to Paris in 1820 to join Lépine's workshops, before finally establishing his own business in 1825. In the 1827 Exhibition he exhibited an astronomical clock and mantel regulators, which won him a silver medal (he would win silver medals again at both the 1834 and 1839 Exhibitions, before attaining gold in 1844). From 1830 Garnier began to make affordable, semi-massed produced carriage clocks (pendules de voyage) which can be said to have established the Parisian carriage clock industry. At around the same time he wrote to Antide Janvier asking for permission to use the title 'Elève de Janvier' as he had attended the free Horological school Janvier had established in 1802. Janvier assented to his request, and Garnier used the title on his carriage clocks until about 1835, and in his written correspondences until at least 1844. Around 1835, Garnier made use of the title 'Horloger [or Her] du Roi', which in turn is supplanted by 'Her De La Marine' after 1848. Signed 'Her du Roi', this clock, was likely made in the second quarter of the century. His combination of basic shape and cost-saving escapement meant that pendules de voyage, having previously been too expensive for the vast majority of people, were reduced in cost to the price of a standard mantel clock. As well as being affordable, these clocks were well made, exhibiting very fine diameter pivots (even by French clock standards) and usually with rack striking. Repeating was saved for the more expensive examples, as in the current case. In his early clocks, engine turned dials in a watered silk style with one-piece cases and barrel stopwork were all the norm. Between about 1830 and 1840, it was common to fit a coloured-paper covered block of wood into the base of the hollow casting.In addition to carriage clocks, Garnier presented a novel master clock and slave clock system (1847), and at least one chronometer has been assigned to him. He also pursued scientific instrument making, his obituary being published in the Society for Civil Engineers bulletin in 1869.The clock is stamped on the back of the front plate with 'Paul Garnier Her Du Roi Paris' in the upper left corner, and '1029' in the lower centre.Included with the lot is a clipping from Country Life, 1973 which illustrates and describes this clock.For further reading, see Allix, C.

A very rare early 19th century Swiss Carriage clock with special night/day striking and calendar, in the original travelling caseAuguste Courvoisier, La Chaux-de-FondsThe brass Rococo case with floral handle held in cactus pommels above a repeat button and a wide inspection window with thickly glazed front door, back door, and side panels above an elegantly moulded base with curled leaf feet. The dial plate with allover engine turned hobnail pattern framing the large signed white enamel dial with Turkish numerals and blued steel Breguet hands, above the subsidiary enamel dials for date and alarm with blued steel hands and three winding squares. The three train spring barrel signed movement with a Swiss lever escapement and typical Swiss rack striking with two bells and two hammers, planted on the backplate. Ticking, striking and repeating. Together with separate winding and setting keys and original travel case. 20.5cms (8 ins) highFootnotes:The calendar dial only has 30 diversions as this clock was made for the Turkish market: Islamic calendars follow the lunar, rather then the solar, cycle which is approximately 29.5 days. Islamic months alternate with 29 or 30 days, therefore, a clock made for such a market would not need a dial with 31 divisions.Philippe-Auguste Courvoisier (1803-1873) was the youngest brother of the 'Courvoisier Freres' partnership, which lasted from 1845-1882, and continued the horological tradition established by 'Courviosier et Cie' in 1811. After 'Courvoisier Freres', 'Courvoisier et fils' was formed, which continued for an as yet undetermined amount of time.The above clock is typical of early Swiss carriage clocks; the striking work being on full display at the back, even down to the bells being inverted. The method of striking is also very usual for early Swiss carriage clocks; with petite sonnerie striking during the day, and grande sonnerie striking at night and on the repeater. This style of clock would eventually be replaced by the standardised French carriage clock around 1850.In Carriage Clocks Their History and Development, Allix and Bonnert illustrate a carriage clock made by Auguste Courvoisier for the Turkish Market on pg. 314. This clock is similar to the current lot and is numbered 2119 which is dated to between 1832 and 1845; it seems reasonable to ascribe similar dates to this clock. Plate X/9 of the same book illustrates an analogous escapement, though the escapement in the book was made by Auguste's older brother Frederic-Alexandre Courvoisier.A very similar carriage clock by Auguste Courvoisier is pictured in A Century of Fine Carriage Clocks by Joseph Fanelli, pg. 194.Another similar clock by Frederic Courvoisier was offered for sale by Bonhams New York in October 2019.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
