Registration - N969 EYCChassis No. - JF1GC8KD3TG013530M.O.T. - May 2025Odometer - 82,000A rare model with exceptional pedigree, this example of Subaru’s Impreza WRX STi is from the Series McRae limited edition run. Created to celebrate the famous Scot’s first World Rally Championship - for both driver and manufacturer - the series was limited to 200 models, and built by Prodrive, the concern that ran Subaru’s WRC team. Presented - as all McRae models are - in Rally Blue mica, ‘N969 EYC’ also comes with the 2.0-litre turbocharged boxer engine famed for its use in the rally-era Impreza models, matched to a five-speed manual gearbox. Other details include the gold alloys, bonnet-mounted vent, and discreet rear spoiler, alongside small McRae badging large front fog lights for the full ‘rally car for the road’ effect’. Inside the five-seater saloon, the seats and door cards are trimmed in Subaru’s ‘confetti’ cloth, with Recaro seats up front.Number 158 of 200, ‘N969 EYC’ has been well maintained and cared for, and offered in ‘superb condition’, according to the vendor. They rate the bodywork, paint, and interior as being in ‘good’ condition, and engine, transmission, and electrics as ‘excellent’. The Impreza has been declared as Cat C in the past, but the rear bumper area impacted has been professionally repaired since 2007. The mileage does not rise significantly each year according to MOT records, and is displayed as an indicated 82,000 miles. ‘N969 EYC’ is offered with a comprehensive service history and MOT until 2025, with a folder of invoices for work carried out throughout its time on the road.Rare special edition Subaru Impreza Series McRaeOne of just 200 examples madeMeticulously cared-forIntroduced in 1992, the Subaru Impreza was a simple, practical, family car – offered as a four-door saloon, two-door coupe, five-door estate, and later on a five-door hatchback – with little about it to get the blood pumping and customers banging at the door of dealerships… until Subaru took it rallying. Entering the WRC with the Impreza changed Subaru’s desirability instantly, and multiple successes over many years saw the blue and gold rally machines sprinkle plenty of stardust over the rest of the range – particularly since Subaru’s rally cars managed to attract some of the finest rally drivers around. The Series McRae was one of a long-running set of special editions, based around the WRX STi, bringing rally-bred performance to the public.

Registration - MV63WRFChassis No. - ZFFTJ65C000197651M.O.T. - March 2025Odometer - 5,400This is an exceptional opportunity for a Ferrari enthusiast or collector to acquire – at No Reserve - a particularly fine 2013 Ferrari California F1 with a Ferrari main dealer service history and less than 5,500 miles on the clock – a figure which is backed up by the service history and MOT records. Supplied new by Stratstone Ferrari in Wilmslow, Cheshire, the car has been regularly serviced by them throughout its life, as the stamped service book with the latest stamp at 4,821 miles shows. The vendor, who is only the second owner of this stunning car, describes all aspects of ‘MW63 WRF’, from the 4.3-litre, 490bhp V8 engine, seven-speed semi-automatic transmission and electrics (including the retractable metal roof) to the paintwork, bodywork and interior as ‘excellent’, and we can see nothing to dispute that claim. The California has covered fewer than 1,500 miles in the past three years.The enviable technological specification includes adaptive front light system, dual mode MagneRide suspension, electrochromic exterior and interior rear-view mirrors, front parking sensors and a tyre temperature and pressure monitoring system. The ‘immaculate’ interior of this 2+2 convertible boasts Ferrari’s optional carbon fibre driver zone and centre console trim, ‘Daytona’ black leather front seats with embroidered Cavallino emblem to the headrests, Giallo tachometer dial face and ‘Daytona’ Alcantra insert panels. Externally the 20” aluminium wheels feature Giallo Modena brake callipers, while the Rosso Corsa paintwork is enhanced with Scuderia Ferrari shields. This highly desirable machine comes with two keys, full Ferrari book pack and toolkit and an MOT to 16 March 2025. Ferraris with such a desirable provenance and warranted low mileage are very rare indeed – and ones offered at No Reserve are even harder to find, and eminently collectable as a result.Announced in 2008 at the Paris Motor Show, the California was viewed as a highly useable Ferrari – an accolade which underlines how easy the model is to live with. With a 0-62mph time of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 193mph, it was that most unexpected of beasts, with a circa £150,000-£200,000 price tag depending on factory options ticked. And buyers responded speedily – a three-year waiting list built up almost immediately. The naturally-aspirated California ushered in a number of ‘firsts’ – the first convertible with a retractable metal roof, Ferrari’s first front-engined V8-powered car and the first direct-injection power unit, and the first to sport a seven-speed dual clutch transmission. Ferrari brought in the Limited Edition California 30 from 2012-2014. The name was derived from the fact that this new variant was 30hp more powerful and 30kg lighter than the original model. California 30 production ended in 2017 and was replaced by the California T.In summary:A beautifully presented example, with less than 5,500 warranted miles from newSupplied new and maintained by Stratstone Ferrari, WilmslowExceptional opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alikePlease, the private registration shown in the photographs is not included in the sale.

Registration - AK51 SWKChassis No. - ZAMAA38D000004150M.O.T. - September 2025Odometer - 32,437This exceptional Maserati 3200 GT is a genuine one-owner from new example, presented in pale blue. Featuring Maserati’s 3.2-litre twin-turbo V8 up front, ‘AK51 SWK’ is fitted with the four-speed automatic for a true Grand Tourer experience. Maserati’s famous boomerang rear lights are the highlight of the exterior features, this 3200 GT is awash with fantastic touches, such as the iconic trident on the C-pillars, wheels, and grille, and the quad exhausts hinting at performance potential. The cabin is trimmed in cream leather upholstery, covering the seats, centre console, and much of the dashboard and doors, though there is contrasting grey leather topping the dash and flowing to the base of the doors.A low mileage example, ‘AK51 SWK’ comes with 12 months MOT and has been serviced very recently. The cam belt was changed 4,000 miles ago, and the vendor has cherished this Italian thoroughbred. There is no rust reported anywhere, either on the underside or showing in the body panels, and the 3200 GT comes with two keys. An indicated 32,437 miles on the odometer shows that it has been enjoyed, but not extensively, in its 23 years on the road, and the owner rates this Maserati as in exceptional overall condition, with all aspects - including engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, interior, and paint - considered ‘excellent’.Beautifully kept Maserati 3200 GT autoFeatures the characterful 3.2-litre twin-turbo V8Genuine one owner exampleIntroduced in 1998, Maserati eschewed the tradition of naming its models after winds, because VW had the rights to the name it wanted, so the 3200 GT was launched. Linking back to the 3500 GT, Maserati’s first GT, the name comes from the 3.2-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, which produced 370hp when new. One of the most striking design touches on the sleek four-seater were the thin, curved ‘boomerang’ rear lights, which were dropped for more conventional clusters when the 3200 GT was replaced with the similar 4200 GT. Available with either manual or automatic transmission, the 3200 GT also saw a Assetto Cross special edition launched in 2001, with just 259 models produced, featuring a special handling package for improved performance. The 3200 GT was produced for four years when replaced by what was an evolution model, the 4200 GT, in 2002.

Registration - WV61 UAEChassis No. - WUAZZZ420CN001589M.O.T. - June 2025Odometer - 33,182 Subtle and stylish in silver, this example of Audi’s R8 supercar is one of the limited edition Le Mans models, of which only 100 were built. Presented in 'flawless' Ice Silver Metallic bodywork with black Nappa leather interior with Crimson accents, ‘WV61 UAE’ is powered by Audi’s 4.2-litre V8, and is further marked out as a rare model by being one of just 40 to be fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox. Equipped with Titanium finish 19-inch '5-arm double-spoke Y design' alloy wheels inspired by the R8 GT Coupé, the desirable optional Carbon Package, and red brake callipers outside, and a classic open gate for the gear stick inside, the R8 Le Mans edition looks every inch a bona fide supercar.The vendor is only the fourth keeper in the Audi’s almost 13 years since rolling off the production line. The car has covered an indicated 33,000 miles since new and benefits from the Limited Edition specification over and above the standard R8 V8 Coupé specification, including Audi magnetic ride, satellite navigation, Audi Music Interface (AMI), interior light package, Bang and Olufsen sound system and Bluetooth mobile phone preparation with integrated seat-belt microphones. ‘WV61 UAE’ is considered in superb condition by its present owner, rated as being ‘excellent’ across all aspects of the R8, including engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, paint and interior. .Low mileage example of Audi’s R8 supercarHighly desirable Le Mans editionSought after six-speed manual modelThe first generation of Audi’s R8 supercar was first shown to the public in 2003, but didn’t arrive as a full production model until 2006. Inspired by the all-conquering Le Mans Audis of the time, the first models were fitted with Audi’s 4.3-litre FSI V8 engine or the 5.2-litre FSI V10. Originally available as a coupe, the convertible Spyder arrived in 2008, followed by GT models with improved performance in 2011. The Le Mans edition was launched in 2011 to celebrate Audi’s 10th victory at Le Sarthe. Production continued until 2015, when the second-generation R8 was introduced.

2009 Lotus Evora Launch Edition                 Registration Number: WR59 XCZ Chassis Number: SCCTC12209HN40910 Recorded Mileage: 41,600 miles - 1 of only 87 Launch Edition models, with one owner from new - Full Lotus service history, most recently at 41,134 miles Launched to joint acclaim from the media and public at the British Motor Show in July 2008, the Evora model was built on the first new Lotus platform since the Elise of 1995. Designed by Russell Carr, the Evora was Lotus’ attempt to transition from their track-based heritage to a more GT-minded marke Known as ‘Project Eagle’ during its development, the Evora arrived powered by Toyota’s 3.5 litre 24 valve V6 engine. With 276 bhp and a kerb weight of just over 1200 kilos, the six-speed manual version could hit 0-60 mph in under five seconds, on the way to a top speed of 163 mph. No wonder then that the Evora was named ‘Driver’s Car of the Year’ by Autocar and ‘Car of the Year’ by Evo. This rare early example has been with just one keeper from new, who purchased the car new in October of 2009. One of only 87 UK-delivered Launch Edition models, the Evora is finished in special order Carbon Grey with Oyster Leather. We understand when new the Lotus was specified with almost £10,000 in options, including Bi-Xenon headlamps, forged alloy wheels and both Tech and Sport packs. The Evora is complemented by a fully documented service record with the Lotus dealer network, with a number of additional invoices for any consumable items required in the last 15 years. The vendor advises the wheels will benefit from refurbishment, to be done prior to the auction. Now showing a sensible 41,600 miles recorded, we understand the Evora was last serviced by Lotus around 500 miles ago. A genuine one owner car with full Lotus history and in attractive colour scheme, this modern classic is a tempting proposition indeed.
