Lot 15
Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 1975 One of just two UK RHD 365 GT4/2+2 models to be finished in Black with red leather interior. This entry has formed part of a twenty strong collection based on Orkney. Little use in recent years, the car runs and drives well (see video’s and further images on our Facebook page and bidding platforms). The interior presents well, nicely worn in without any major damage or wear. Cosmetically, the car could be improved but is perfectly usable as is. Comes complete with complete leather book wallet including service booklet, service manual and Tool box and jack. Probably the most cost effective way to get yourself sat behind that glorious quad cam V12 engine. The exhaust system and manifolds have recently been replaced.

Lot 409
A very useable entry level Ferrari, this 208 GT4 is offered from a Deceased Estate, benefitting from a £5,000 service in 2021 at Bob Houghton Ferrari - a bright example offered with a photographic record of an older restoration.The Dino 208 GT4 is the smaller brother of the Ferrari 308 GT4, revealed at the 1973 Paris Auto Salon, and was specially designed for the Italian market to avoid the heavy taxation levied on cars in those days with engines above 2-litres. The 208 remained in production from 1975 to 1980, with a total of 840 units receiving Maranello's stamp of approval, and as this was a specific Italian market model, all were produced in a left-hand drive configuration. The exterior design of the 208 GT4 is very similar to its bigger brother with a pronounced wedge-shaped body penned by Bertone, a look that was very much in vogue with the style of the period. A steel body with some lightweight aluminium panels was mounted on a tubular steel chassis and the wheelbase was a neat 2,550mm. The running gear is made up of an independent wishbone suspension, disc brakes, coil springs and hydraulic shock absorbers at all four corners with both front and rear anti-roll bars.The 1,991cc V8 engine is of 90-degree configuration, with belt-driven twin overhead camshafts per bank, transversely-mounted in unit with the all synchromesh, 5-speed transmission assembly, which was below, and to the rear of the engine's wet sump. It was fitted with a bank of four twin-choke Weber carburettors, producing a claimed 180hp which was enough to propel the 208 to a top speed of 112mph.This rather smart example is finished in Giallo Fly with a black leather interior and is on offer from a Deceased Estate. The indicated mileage at the time of consignment was 67,305km (41,821 miles) and it benefits from a £5,000 service in 2021 at Bob Houghton Ferrari. Within the car's history file, there is a photographic record of an earlier restoration.This is a very useable entry-level Ferrari and if you have an interest in owning one of these rare, seventies 2-litre, 2+2 Ferraris then come along to our sale.

Lot 410
Superbly presented Vantage in a simply gorgeous colour scheme with less than 19,000 miles and AMOC Concours success.Aston Martin introduced the long-awaited Vantage version of their successful DB7 in 1999. Sporting a Cosworth-designed, 5.9-litre V12 producing 420bhp, the car was super-quick and was electronically limited to 185mph. The V12 had a serious appetite for air compared to its six-cylinder predecessor, demanding a larger intake and other modifications to the frontal airflow were made to aid cooling. Other changes included chassis and braking upgrades to cope with the increased performance, and Ian Callum enlarged the grille, added fog lamps, and restyled the valances to give the car a more purposeful look.It may be a contentious statement, but few cars of the same era command the presence by engine note of a Ferrari, the subtle design of a Porsche and the interior refinement of a Rolls-Royce in the same way as the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage does. It is also an industry quirk that any V12-engined grand tourer is best suited to coachwork resplendent in darker colours and a lighter interior, with British cars appointed naturally in the finest of leather and wood. All of which are beautifully represented by this 2001 Aston Martin Vantage which was delivered new on 27th January 2001 in Mendip Blue with Pacific Parchment hide by Grange Aston Martin, to the first of just two keepers, as confirmed by the accompanying V5C. The cherished registration 'X2 AML' was issued at the same time and remains with the car, in continuation of the car’s history. Before we get to the car’s exceptional service history we note that records show the car‘s next, and current, keeper is recorded on the 6th September 2014.The service history has a recorded 19 stamps, with notations of the mileage at each service and the last 13 services were carried out by noted Aston Martin specialists, Chiltern Aston Centre Ltd of Hemel Hempstead. The most recent of these was recorded on the 17th July 2021 at 18,394 miles when a new ignition coil and fuel pumps were fitted. The car was entered into the 2018 Aston Martin Owners Club Spring Concours at Englefield House, Reading and won the Bloxham Medal for Best In Class, the medal naturally accompanies the car, and it is our proud duty to report that not only was the score an impressive 96.5 out of 100, but among the top three awarded scores issued that day to any Aston Martin taking part in the Concours. The history file accompanying the car confirms receipted maintenance and official representation of mileage and corresponding services by the well stamped service book, whilst the MOT is valid until July 2023.In our opinion, this motor car is unmatched in terms of luxury, heritage and performance by any contemporary model for sale today. It is eminently suitable for mature enthusiasts, first time owner-drivers or a collector, all of whom will appreciate the condition, low mileage and AMOC-winning pedigree of a modern classic that is as enjoyable to drive as it is to look at.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: VANTAGEYear: 2001Chassis Number: SCFAB12321K301422 Registration Number: X2 AMLTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: AM201461 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 18629 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Pacific Parchment LeatherClick here for more details and images
Lot 441
On offer from 14-years passionate ownership with just one former keeper in the UK since its import in 2008, this sensibly-guided example might be the final opportunity to own a GT-R at a sensible budget.Whilst many of the Play Station generation will have first experienced the drama of the R34 GT-R V-Spec through Gran Turismo, it was an appearance in "The Fast and the Furious" franchise that led to an explosion in global popularity for the R34 GT-R. Indeed, the late Paul Walker drove an R34 GT-R in '2 Fast 2 Furious', enhancing its almost cult status. But it was in the 'real' world where the R34 GT-R V-Spec would cement its reputation. Described by Evo Magazine as "A warrior-class performer" in its 2007 road test, where a standard R34 GT-R was pitted against the likes of a McLaren F1, Pagani Zonda, Ferrari F40 and Bugatti Veyron, the GT-R's reputation as a class-act remained intact.It may not be able to claim the original “Godzilla” title as that remains with the R32 GT-R, but the newcomer definitely carried the torch, and arguably the R34 GT-R has become the most recognised car ever to emerge from Japan in their late-90s golden era. Synonymous with the late Paul Walker who had a true passion for the R34, managing to own 2 of the 14 examples to have been Federalized in the early 2000s. As soon as the Fast and Furious franchise used the GT-R as the hero car in their series, the popularity of the R34 surged worldwide and continues to remain on that upward trajectory to this day.The R33 GT-R was a good car, but many found it to be too bulky in design and too heavy to be a worthy successor to the R32 GT-R, which the R34 sought to rectify and did so with flying colours. Released with a shorter, sharper design and the performance to match, it’s safe to say the bite truly matches the bark. For a car released in 1999, the R34 came crammed full of technology including a 5.8" LCD multifunction display in the dashboard, showing seven different live readings of engine and vehicle statistics such as boost pressure, oil/water temperature and throttle percentage among others.It arrived with aggressive new styling, a stiffer bodyshell and a reworked version of the bulletproof and highly modifiable RB26DETT twin-turbo, inline-six mated to an all-new Getrag six-speed gearbox and transfer case. The electronically controlled Super HICAS rear-wheel steering system was retained. Unlike some other performance cars of the 90s, Nissan did not neglect the braking system and fitted Brembo brakes with 300mm vented discs.This Sonic Silver, R34 GT-R Series I presents in excellent condition and has been maintained religiously throughout its 14-year, UK single ownership. As a Series 1 example, JDM-delivered car, it's one of just 2,709 Series 1s out of a production run of 11,578 cars. Within the history file there is every MOT since its 2008 import. The car has been serviced every year by GT-R Specialists, RB Motorsport, with all invoices on file including an engine refresh in 2018. Costing a whisker under £3,000, the head was skimmed, head gasket replaced as well as timing belts and idlers, giving full confidence to the new owner that the bulletproof RB26 is as ready for action as it's ever been.With the way R34 GT-R prices have skyrocketed so easily into six-figures in recent years, this cherished, one UK-owner example is surely the last chance to acquire such a desirable car for a reasonable outlay, especially considering the 25-year import rule legalising these cars in the US means that values may well move on even further.SpecificationMake: NISSANModel: SKYLINE R34 GT-RYear: 2001Chassis Number: BNR34000578Registration Number: D7 WLMTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 90700 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey ClothClick here for more details and images
Lot 475
Purchased by Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees in 1979 and owned by the family until 2012.When Rolls-Royce launched the two-door version of the Silver Shadow in 1966, the international jet set began to clamour for attention at the dealerships. These hugely desirable motorcars began to change hands at significant premiums over list price and one can imagine the hushed negotiations over the green baize of the gaming tables at Crockfords and Aspinalls. The Drop Head Coupé that followed in 1967 was even more exclusive, and waiting lists ran for years. Rolls-Royce could not have predicted the Swinging Sixties, or those who profited from this new era, and demand for the convertible came from all strata of monied society, the most vocal of which were heard on the radio. It was practically a law that celebrity Rolls-Royce owners had to be pictured alongside their car, and the convertible Rolls was the most coveted of all.If given the choice whilst on holiday in France, most would prefer to visit a discothèque rather than a bibliothèque, and the launch of “disco” in 1970 was a revolution. For the first time, strangers could dance on a multi-coloured dancefloor to up-beat music with a heavy dose of sexy electric guitar, both parties strutting their stuff without, quite frankly, Edwardian values of decorum. If there was one band that defined this new era of disco it was the Bee Gees, providing not one but three headline tracks to the quintessential disco film of the 1970s, Saturday Night Fever. One song, Night Fever, is often played as the anthem of the decade. As one third of the Bee Gees, Maurice Gibb was one of the most successful and highly paid of the era, enabling him to indulge his passion for Rolls-Royce motor cars.By the late-1970s, demand for the Corniche Convertible, as now named, was even more ferociously high than the previous decade, and second hand cars were highly sought after, impatiently in demand by the super rich. These sums are often mythologised and exaggerated but the accompanying carbon copy Bill of Sale from 1979 confirms these eye watering prices. When Maurice Gibb walked into the H.R. Owen showroom at Melton Court in South Kensington on the 17th April 1979 and saw this 1973 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible in Masons Black with a St. James red leather interior showing 30,214 miles, he parted with the incredible sum of £35,000. Bearing in mind that this was a six-year old car with 30,000 miles, he paid over three times the car’s list price when new, or double the price of a contemporary Ferrari 308 with change left over for a brand new Ford Capri!Maurice Gibb’s love affair with the Rolls-Royce started in the 1960s, famously photographed with the band looking through the window of Jack Barclay’s Mayfair showroom in 1968, various period snaps show Mr Gibb impeccably tailored in white alongside a Cloud Convertible or astride the bonnet of his Silver Shadow. Perhaps it was either his affection for this Corniche or the desire to get his money’s worth that saw the car remain as part of his collection until his sudden passing on the 12th January 2003, with the car remaining in the family until 2012. Those familiar with celebrity cars may note that most cars only enjoy a few years of ownership until traded in against newer models, and a thirty-three year family connection is very rare. So beloved was this Corniche, that Mr Gibb was photographed arriving in the Corniche at a press junket in 2001, gallantly aiding his wife Yvonne out of the rear seat, copies of which are on file.The car was nicknamed 'Rosie' and the private registration '3829 MG' issued to the car in period, and is generously included in the sale, as are the monogrammed over-mats. The Corniche’s current V5C show a number of previous registered keepers, which included Mr Gibb personally, his company and family members. An accompanying declaration on file, signed by Mr Gibb’s brother-in-law and personal assistant of thirty-years is dated 23rd July 2012 and confirms the car’s history. This declaration states regular servicing and MOT records show that the car’s mileage in July 2012 was 48,013 miles. Under new ownership, the Corniche benefited from some £24,000 of maintenance and servicing by Royce Motor Services of Gloucester between 2012 and 2019.Purchased on the 8th June 2021 by our vendor from a leading Rolls-Royce specialist, a purchase he readily agrees was on impulse, the car joined his fleet of modern motorcars, many of which are current model Rolls-Royces, and as an international businessman with limited time for classic motoring, his Lamborghini Miura would take precedence over the rest of his Collection. With recent expenditure of £10,000 the Corniche is presented to auction with an upgraded interior, dark red mohair power hood, a mileage of some 52,919 miles at the time of cataloguing and a history file that includes not only the aforementioned carbon copy Bill of Sale and signed declaration, but a note from a chap who confirms he use to wash the car for Mr Gibb on a Saturday morning!Considered the most attractive version of the Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible, the chrome bumpered cars produced between 1971 and 1977 only number a total of 1,232 in both right and left-hand drive, with very few in Masons Black. Questionable colour combinations of the era have often split opinion but few would argue that this Corniche’s combination is a perfect blend of Seventies retro, sleek black and funky red.In conclusion, classic cars should be fun, enjoyed by drivers and passengers alike, and we defy anyone not to arrive at a destination with the roof down and a Bee Gees hit blaring, whether the high notes are accurately hit or not.SpecificationMake: ROLLS-ROYCEModel: CORNICHE CONVERTIBLEYear: 1973Chassis Number: DRH14555Registration Number: 9829 MGTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 14555Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 52919 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Red LeatherClick here for more details and images
Lot 484
A well-known example that's been used as intended and is all the better for it!Ferrari's line of highly successful V8-engined road cars began with the 308 GT4 of 1973. Badged as a 'Di-no', the all-new 308 GT4 2+2 superseded the preceding Dino V6. The newcomer's wedge-shaped styling - by Bertone rather than the customary Pininfarina - was not universally well-received but there were no complaints about the performance of the 3.0-litre quad-cam V8 engine, which was carried over to its successor.Introduced at the Paris Auto Salon in 1975, the contemporary styled 308 GTB - Ferrari's second V8 road car - marked a return to Pininfarina styling following the Bertone-designed 308 GT4. Badged as a proper Ferrari rather than a Dino, the 308 GTB had changed little mechanically apart from a reduction in both wheelbase and weight, retaining its predecessor's underpinnings and transversely mounted engine that now featured dry-sump lubrication.In road tune, this superbly engineered power unit produced 255bhp, an output good enough to propel the 308 GTB to a top speed of over 150mph. Produced initially with fibreglass bodywork - the first time this material had been used for a production Ferrari, the Scaglietti-built 308 GTB used steel after April 1977. Further developments included the introduction of an open-top GTS version with Targa-style removable roof, the adoption of Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and, finally, revised cylinder heads with four valves per cylinder on the Quattrovalvole (QV) model in 1982. An exhilarating driver's car and a Ferrari purist's delight, the 308 GTSi and its many derivatives proved a huge commercial success for Maranello, with over 12,000 sold.This 1980 308 GTS is well-known within Ferrari club circles and amongst fellow 308 owners mainly because this remarkable example has covered just over 130,000 miles. It has been used as intended and is all the better for it! Our private vendor bought this venerable right-hand drive example in early 2020 from Ferrari specialists, Rardley Motors, and it has remained part of his Collection ever since, unusually for this car only covering around 3,000 miles in his two and a bit years of ownership.What’s also fantastic is the service history that comes with the car. There are two packed binders of history and maintenance information that give a reassuring insight into the car's fascinating life. There is simply way too much to list here so we highly recommend any interested parties to come to The Classic to see the car and study the history file and let it speak for itself.Finished in Grigio Titanio with a red leather interior, a very rare combination for a 308, we’re informed that this example was originally a demonstrator for Ritchie’s of Glasgow and is a very late carburettor example. Over 130,000 miles is admittedly quite a lot for a 308 but if it was a BMW M5 no one would be unduly concerned. It's not always discussed openly but those people who work on Ferraris use the expression "A busy Ferrari is a happy Ferrari" and statistically high-mileage, looked-after cars are the least trouble. It's very simple - Drive, service, repeat - drive, service, repeat. We see a lot of Ferraris from this era and would be confident that, given its very impressive service and maintenance history, this example could happily be enjoyed for the next 130,000 miles.Much loved and regularly spannered over the years, this really is a special 308 ready to carry on doing what little V8 Ferraris do best.

Lot 497
Supplied new to Germany and shipped to the UK by our vendor in 2012 who stabled it alongside his other Evo II.Thirty-two years ago, the 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II thrilled professionals and the general public alike when it was unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show. Legend has it that the limited run of 502 cars were all sold pre-launch, possibly squirrelled away by international car collectors. The long-standing rivalry between BMW and Mercedes-Benz was carried over into motor racing and helped to hone some of the greatest Touring Cars of the era. The Evo II was set the unenviable task of beating one of the most successful racing saloons of all time, the BMW E30 M3. A compromise was out of the question and the Mercedes Touring Car, developed for Group A racing using this sports saloon as a basis, went on to acquire legendary status in a number of national championships. Mercedes-Benz took the first three places in the DTM championship in the 1992 season with this vehicle, which was referred to succinctly as the Evo II.The engine's output had been raised once again in comparison to the first Evolution model from the previous year, and was now generating 235 horsepower. Top speed was 250km/h, and the Evo II accelerated from a standing start to 100km/h in 7.1 seconds. The body had also undergone further refinement on an aesthetic and aerodynamic level and the car's sporting pedigree was emphasised by its muscular stance. The Evo II's bodykit is perhaps the most outrageous ever applied to a production car and the fact it was a product of the ultra-conservative world of early-nineties Mercedes-Benz is even more incredible. Its ostentatious, fully adjustable, rear spoiler was aerodynamically perfect and the front splitter would make a decent job of cutting the grass. However, despite outward appearances, the Evo II is seriously comfortable and totally tractable in daily use.The car we are offering today is number 322 of 500 in 'Blauschwarz', a striking combination of blue-black metallic paint. The interior remains largely identical to a highly specified 190 E of the period, however, Black Anthracite leather, wood trim and a couple of discreet touches show how special this car is. All Evo IIs had their production numbers on the dog-leg gear stick and fortunately, considering the proximity of the front spoiler to the tarmac, the full SLS suspension allows the ride height to be adjusted from an interior switch. The options ordered when new included, air conditioning, a fire extinguisher, rear mounted loudspeakers and heated front seats, luxuries of which a Ferrari Scuderia driver could only dream.It is an honour for Silverstone Auctions to sell our vendor’s second Evo II, reluctantly leaving his Mercedes-Benz collection. We sold the vendor’s first Evo II at the Silverstone Classic in 2015. Supplied by Mercedes-Benz AG of Dusseldorf 11th June 1990 the car is presented to auction with an odometer reading of 88,767km or 55,157 miles. Appropriately serviced when in regular use by its three previous German owners, the service book shows ten stamps, and the last stamp was on 9th October 2012 at 88,598km, just prior to our vendor’s purchase and shipment to the UK where it has not been registered and driven up to temperature on private roads for the last ten years. The car will receive a fluids service prior to auction in our vendor’s private workshop.The car is presented to auction with wallet that includes the service book, copy German title documents, receipts and "Evo II" show plates.SpecificationMake: MERCEDES-BENZModel: 190 E 2.5-16 EVOLUTION IIYear: 1990Chassis Number: WDB2010361F740409Registration Number: WDB2010361F740409Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 10299210000426Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 88767 KMMake: Only LHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

TWR's 1980s range of aftermarket performance updates for the XJ-S included a 6.0-litre V12 engine and a manual gearbox but only one XJ-SC Cabriolet was fitted with both. It's fast, responsive, unique and it's here.According to our vendor, the Jaguar was purchased by its first owner in 1986 and by him in 2018. He notes "I believe from the research that I have undertaken and the history file, that this is the only TWR XJ-SC 6.0-litre manual in existence". It was originally owned by a Mr Turner as a company car and then transferred into Mr. Turner’s private ownership so effectively, our vendor is only the car's second owner.One thing this rare Jaguar is not short of is documentation and from the Jaguar Heritage Certificate we can see that the car was dispatched to Hatfields Jaguar, Sheffield on 17/12/85. Also in the file is the original vehicle invoice dated 9/1/86 for £27,568.00, a receipt from TWR Kidlington dated 12/2/86 and a TWR Enhancement Invoice dated 9/5/86 for £23,554.00. The list of enhancements include TWR wheels, Suspension kit, Brake kit, Engine Efficiency kit, Manual box (5-speed), 6-litre engine, Bright parts colour coding, Security wheel nuts, PAS valve and a rear seat conversion. C800 KWB did not receive the rear spoiler and side skirts which really makes this vehicle rather more subtle. Total cost for the car in 1986 was £51,122.00 which was a vast amount of money at the time, more than a new Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Convertible!There is a hand-written note in the file, following a conversation with Mr. Turner and a Chris Baker of TWR, stating that only 25 manual box, 6.0-litre XJS were produced. C800 KWB is the only Cabriolet and apparently had the highest engine output of all 6-litre conversions at 331bhp.From our vendor; "I purchased the car because of the TWR involvement, a love of motorsport and the rarity of C800 KWB. It drives and corners well, drives low to the ground and the sound of the TWR-enhanced engine compared to a standard XJS is something else. Paul Walton described the drive as engaging, with the car exiting corners with the urgency of a stabbed rat. Paul mentioned it had been several years since he has been able to drive an XJS in such an aggressive manner, the last time being an ETCC Touring Car at Goodwood!

Subject to a meticulous restoration around 10 years ago and very light use since.During the 1980s, Bantams were manufactured in Warwick by a specialist engineering company, using a steel chassis, fibreglass body and an 80cc Kawasaki engine at the rear. This one was fully rebuilt by the current owner some 10 years ago and has been lightly used by his grandchildren. It’s in very good working order, and attracts a lot of attention when in use at car shows etc. The clutch is automatic, braking is by a rear disc, and the pedal box is adjustable for reach. The colour is Ferrari Rosso, with Jaguar Biscuit leather. In period, there was a manufacturer – backed junior race series for these, held at circuits such as Brands and Silverstone, with many young drivers competing. Top speed of circa 25 mph was possible, but this can be limited as required. As you can see, it’s in great condition, rare, and would make a great gift for a child, or perhaps as a display piece?
