Low ownership, low mileage, lovely originality and a late built car, this 280 Brooklands confirms that the Capri continues to improve with age.The Capri 280 was the final, limited edition run of the legendary Ford Coupé which had first appeared back in 1969. Ford originally intended to build only 500 turbo-charged vehicles (by Turbo Technics) complete with gold alloy wheels, but a change of production planning meant a name change to Capri 280. These cars featured a limited slip differential, a full leather Recaro interior and 15-inch, seven-spoke alloy wheels to complement the 2.8 injected V6 engine. Just 1,038 were ever made and all were finished in Brooklands Green, resulting in them, inevitably becoming known as 'Brooklands Capris'. As a fully loaded run-out special, the 280 came with six, deep-set dials which dominate the dash over the standard Capris which had to make do with two – alongside an AM radio/cassette and a lockable glovebox.This 280 ‘Brooklands’ was supplied new in the UK and first registered on 1st November 1987, meaning it was a very late built car to come off the production line. Within its first six years the car was sold three times, with the fourth owner purchasing and cherishing the car for over 20 years from 1993 until our vendor added it to his exceptional collection. The V5 shows just three former keepers and the history file is good, containing various items of paperwork including old MOT Certificates and invoices for work over the years. However, there are a few expected patches from its time in heated storage in recent years.Showing just 52,000 miles from new, this Brooklands is nicely original, presenting well in standard specification and will be delivered to us having benefited from a fresh service to bring it up to full strength. The Brooklands Green paintwork is in good condition and internally the full leather Recaro interior is in equally good condition throughout. The Capri has been kept very standard and is, thankfully, just as it was when it left the factory.Costing an optimistic £11,999 when new, one can see why only 1,038 examples ever made it off the production line but their appeal has rightfully grown over time. With only 547 examples currently believed to be residing in the UK whether SORN (361) or currently licenced (186), this low mileage, low ownership car is a lovely wholesome example of an increasingly popular car.With a lot going for it, this Capri is nicely suited to being added to a fine collection to be cherished as a swansong to the Capri or to be used and enjoyed out on the roads once again; ideally a combination of the two. This low-mileage example could yet prove a canny investment at the sensible guide price suggested.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: CAPRIYear: 1987Chassis Number: WF0CXXGAECGG10880Registration Number: E139 JASTransmission: ManualEngine Number: GG10880Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 52000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey ClothClick here for more details and images
Jersey delivered, UK-registered on 1st March 2022, MOT'd in October 2022 at 39,128 miles and an opportunity for cosmetic enhancement. Supplied with V5C, service book, manuals, main dealer receipts - Offered Without Reserve.Developed especially for British roads by Provide, the company which helped Colin McRae, Richard Burns and Petter Solberg become World Rally Champions. Aerodynamically honed by Peter Stevens of McLaren F1 fame and based around a lighter and stiffer two-door bodyshell, the limited edition Prodrive One, abbreviated to P1, had more in common with the legendary 22B than its lesser four-door Subaru Impreza WRX siblings.All were painted in Sonic Blue and using the WRX STi Type R as a base, Prodrive engineers installed the anti-roll bars from the European-specification Impreza Turbo, along with firmer springs and shock absorbers, to deliver a suspension set up better suited to continental roads. The cars also featured ABS, as well as the Peter Stevens-designed anthracite OZ Racing wheels, front spoiler and rear wing.The car is powered by a revised version of the rally engine with re-calibrated electronics and developing no less than 280bhp, 69bhp more than the standard Impreza Turbo. With a big-bore exhaust, quick-shift gear linkage, 17” titanium-finish alloy wheels and a rally proven suspension set-up, the Impreza P1 limited run of 1,000 examples gained an instant cult following. As an eminently drivable sports-saloon very few examples of the P1 are available in today’s market that do not have six-figure odometer readings, crash damage or heavy modifications.As such, this 39,229 mile Impreza P1 offers a rare opportunity to cosmetically enhance a modern classic. It was supplied by Subaru main dealer Mauger’s Garage Ltd. of Jersey and subsequently serviced by them up until 2018 as evidenced by the stamped service book. Further maintenance receipts show in the name of the first owner and dated 2018 are included in the history file. Imported to the UK mainland and registered with the DVLA on 1st March 2022, it appears the car has been in storage and will be supplied to auction with a fresh MOT. The handbook wallet includes the original service book and owners manuals, aforementioned receipts, previous MOT Certificate and UK V5C.SpecificationMake: SUBARUModel: IMPREZAYear: 2000Chassis Number: JF1GM8KDGYG002543Registration Number: W863 XAATransmission: ManualEngine Number: 810284Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 39129 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images
Chassis #174/500, 948 miles from new, one owner from new. Surely one of, if not the best RS500 out there.The Ford Focus RS500 made its global debut at the Leipzig Motor Show on 9th April 2010 and marked the final swansong for production of the remarkable, second generation Focus RS. The new and more powerful, limited edition Focus RS500 model was launched as the ultimate performance Ford to provide the definitive driving experience for serious performance car enthusiasts. The new model was given the RS500 designation to highlight its strictly limited production run of 500 individually-numbered vehicles and featured a muscular 345bhp, 2.5-litre, five-cylinder engine, which generated 15% more power than the standard Focus RS and delivered truly exhilarating performance.In the raw, the RS looked a bit of a 'beastie' with its gaping grille, 19-inch wheels, flared arches, deep diffuser and a wing that would embarrass a Porsche Turbo which left you in no doubt about its intentions. However, the limited edition RS500 was even more dramatic, sporting a unique matt black 'foil' paint finish with matching alloy wheels and delivering a powerful visual impact unmatched by any other production Ford. The last of these remarkable vehicles left Ford's Assembly Plant in Germany during September 2010.Offered here is number 174 of the 500 built and was first registered in the UK on 6th August 2010. It's a UK-supplied, right-hand drive car that had covered a surely unrepeatable 948 miles at the time of cataloguing. A one owner car from new, the V5 showing zero former keepers, our vendor has it as part of his exceptional modern classic Fast Ford collection. Despite the exceptionally small mileage, it has three service stamps at 860 miles, 938 miles and 946 miles by Ford Specialists and main dealer. The history file is as comprehensive as it can be for a car that’s moved so little, supplied with a UK V5C with two sets of keys and all the associated book packs. The last visit to the Ford specialist for servicing was in September 2020. The incredibly low mileage is matched by the superb condition and represents a fabulous opportunity in the modern performance Ford market.An RS500 is a rare car at the best of times, seldom seen but always appreciated. However, to find an example that has covered less than 1,000 miles and is virtually ‘out of the box’ is a brilliant opportunity for any modern classic collector, whether a ‘Blue Oval’ enthusiast or not, and not to be missed.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: FOCUSYear: 2010Chassis Number: WF0GXXGCDGAU88336Registration Number: HIG 500Transmission: ManualEngine Number: AU88336Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 948 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images
Car 459 of a limited edition of 1,000 marking the end of production of VW South Africa's version of the iconic Golf Mk1 in 2009, UK registered and just 16,598km.When Volkswagen released the original Golf in 1974, the car was an overnight success. Easy, economical to drive and inexpensive to maintain. Volkswagen South Africa started the assembly of the Golf Mk1 under licence in 1978, however, when the second generation Golf arrived in 1984, Volkswagen South Africa found themselves unable to supply the demand for a small, affordable entry-level car, as the Mk2 was bigger and somewhat more expensive than its predecessor. The most viable option for VW SA was to continue producing a variant of the Mk1, designed to fill the gap in the market for a reliable, solid, safe car for the local population. Using the same body shell as the Mk1, the 'Citi Golf' was launched in 1984 as a mildly facelifted,1.6-litre, five-door, alongside companion saloon and two-door utility models. The Citi Golf's 25 year lifespan saw hundreds of modifications, both cosmetic, to satisfy consumer demand, and mechanical to comply with safety and emission standards. Cost savings from using the Mk1 shell allowed the Citi to be better appointed than its rivals, with accessories made available over the years from the Volkswagen Group parts department.To commemorate the end of production of the Citi in 2009, the Citi Mk1 was launched. This edition was limited to just 1,000 cars, with special features that included lowered suspension, 15” alloy wheels, tinted windows, a leather sports steering wheel with airbag, and chrome foil side-stripes. The lovely example on offer here is Number 459 of those 1,000 cars and is finished in Black Magic Pearl, one of two colours available, and optioned with half-leather seats trimmed with black cloth. It was imported into the UK and registered with the DVLA on the 1st October 2019 as 'YL09 OZK, however, our vendor thought that particular registration did not quite suit the little Citi, so it now wears the current private registration, RRZ 9617, which will remain with the car.Presented to auction in exceptional condition with just 16,598 kilometres or 10,313 miles at the time of cataloguing, the service book states that the most recent service was carried out less than 435 km ago 22nd September 2021 and the car has just been issued with an advisory free MOT. An official book commemorating the Citi, unused mats still in their Volkswagen packaging, VWSA brochures, main dealer service receipts, VW heritage letter, original radio and bill of sale accompany the car.Whilst the car’s condition and rarity warrants a place in a collection, it is also eminently suitable as a daily driver for the enthusiast that loves the retro looks of a classic car but appreciates the modern enhancements fitted by the manufacturer from new. It sits within its own niche in the market and elements of the car’s features may seem incongruous at first glance but make perfect sense in context, however, you'll probably never see another and despite its humble origins, its sheer rarity means it would be welcome anywhere.SpecificationMake: VWModel: GOLFYear: 2009Chassis Number: AAVZZZ17Z9U015442Registration Number: RRZ 9617Transmission: ManualEngine Number: AFX088681 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 10313 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Leather/ClothClick here for more details and images
A genuine garage find, discovered after a decade off the road, now recommissioned with a new MOT - Offered Without Reserve.The Capri 280 was the final, limited edition run of the legendary Ford Coupé which had first appeared back in 1969. Ford originally intended to build only 500 turbo-charged vehicles (by Turbo Technics) complete with gold alloy wheels but a change of production planning meant a name change to Capri 280. These cars featured a limited slip differential, a full leather Recaro interior, and 15-inch, seven-spoke alloy wheels to complement the 2.8 injected V6 engine. Just 1,038 were ever made and all were finished in Brooklands Green, resulting in them, inevitably becoming known as 'Brooklands Capris'.Offered here is a 1987 Ford Capri 280 ‘Brooklands’ that was supplied new to the UK-market in right-hand drive and first registered in August 1987. 35 years later, this 280 was discovered stored away under covers in a building purchased by our vendor, having been off the road for over ten years. The covers were removed, air pumped in the tyres and rolled out of the lock-up where, after a clean, a new battery and some fresh fuel, the 2.8-Litre V6 fired into life sounding in fine tune. The old Capri was then taken to a local specialist workshop for a full service and checked over from bumper to bumper before an MOT test.At the time of cataloguing the speedometer indicated 97,868 miles which cannot be verified but is believed to be correct. We are informed that on the road, the 280 performs well and still attracts lots of attention and admiring glances. The Brooklands metallic paintwork presents beautifully, and the panel gaps are uniform across the body. In the cabin, the correct leather Recaro seats also present well along with the three-spoke steering wheel, and the carpets are protected with 280-embossed over-mats. The undercarriage also presents very well and appears to have been subject to some restorative works at some point in the past. Within the history file is a current V5C ready for export or transfer, new MOT Certificate valid until September 2023 and various other items of paperwork from over the years.In summary, this is a great opportunity to secure this lovely 280 Brooklands with sensible mileage and absolutely on-the-button, ready to turn heads at any classic car event. This is an example to be driven and enjoyed as often as possible and, offered at No Reserve', could be the best buy of the sale.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: CAPRIYear: 1987Chassis Number: WF0CXXGAECGG11046Registration Number: E280 BCDTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 97844 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black Click here for more details and images
The third of just three factory right-hand drive 'AXI' UK-spec cars and offered from the personal collection of the historian of The DeLorean Owners' Club UK.The story of the three right-hand drive, UK-specification cars produced by DeLorean Motor Cars Ltd., for demonstration and senior managerial use is a little known tale. Who better to tell the story than our vendor, Christopher Parnham, co-author of “DeLorean: Celebrating the Impossible” and former Secretary and current historian of the DeLorean Owners’ Club UK. He informs us that in early October 1981, three grey-interior cars, one manual and two automatics were taken directly off the production line, re-engineered to produce 150bhp, a significant improvement over the US specifications cars with 130bhp, the brakes were upgraded and the rear light clusters redesigned. Converted to right-hand drive by Wooler-Hodec Ltd., all three cars were registered sequentially as AXI 1697, AXI 1698 and AXI 1699, the second automatic car. These cars, however, should not be compared with the earlier 20 or so US-specification cars with black interiors that were also converted by Wooler-Hodec to right-hand drive during the problematic first months of production.There are numerous features unique to the 3 AXI cars; the small round side indicator repeaters - instead of two long ones, the black front grille with its integral DMC badge, the headlight trims were only on AXI 1697 and AXI 1699 (and subsequently AXI 1698), the roof antennas are unique to the three AXI cars as are the twin brake servos. All three cars had special UK rear-lights and the black f/glass trim surrounds made by William Towns were originally unique but the purchasing department went on to copy some for other RHD cars and they all had 140mph speedometers rather than the normal 85mph.One of the “AXI” cars was due to be displayed at the International Car Show in Birmingham but on press day, 19th October 1982, John DeLorean was arrested during a $24,000,000 drug sting, although later acquitted, it was to seal the fate of the company. The Official Receivers sent AXI 1699, along with five left-hand drive cars, to auction and they were sold on the 25th November 1982. A press clipping of the sale, featuring a photograph of this car, states that a London dealer, Mr Tony Clutterbuck, bought AXI 1699 for £15,250, the highest price of the day.A magazine article, published in January 1983, reviews this very car, now registered “MGJ 126Y” and is perhaps the only “new car” review for a manufacturer no longer in business. Our vendor had been searching for this car for years and he found it in 2001, it had been off the road for decades, and whilst his initial offer was turned down, he finally secured the car in 2018, reuniting it with stable mate AXI 1698 that he had owned since the 1990s. The story of the hunt for AXI 1699 featured in the Winter 2018 edition of DeLorean News, the club’s magazine.Recommissioned and subsequently replated with its original AXI 1699 registration number, the car has been displayed at numerous events and at the NEC Classic Motor Show twice. With advancing years limiting our vendor’s mobility, the DeLorean car is reluctantly offered to auction. The odometer reading of 23,387 miles, at the time of cataloguing, could well be accurate given the car’s known history, and it will be accompanied by a hardback copy of “Motor Makers in Ireland” by John Moore that features this very car on the cover and signed for the vendor by John DeLorean himself, a number of receipts and invoices, various press clippings, the V5C and an MOT valid until May 2023.AXI 1699 has a fascinating story that very few cars can claim; a documented history starting on the production line and one of three variants of a single model manufactured by a company whose founder inspired two biographical Hollywood films and lest not forget the DeLorean’s enduring legacy as one of the most iconic movie cars of all time.SpecificationMake: DELOREANModel: DMC-12Year: 1981Chassis Number: SCEDT26T6B0005730Registration Number: AXI 1699Transmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 5596 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 23387 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey LeatherClick here for more details and images
A unique opportunity to enhance a modern classic that starts and runs. Limited edition #126 is supplied with manuals, service book, V5C and was last MOT'd in 2014 - Offered Without Reserve.Introduced by Mitsubishi in December 1999 to celebrate Tommi Mäkinen’s four consecutive World Rally Championship wins, this limited-run model features a redesigned body kit, 10mm lower suspension with revised dampers, a helical front limited-slip differential, and a faster-spooling titanium turbocharger over the standard car. This example is number 126 of the 3,020 units produced, and is finished in Pyrenees Black Pearl with pinstripes on either side, white 17-inch Enkei alloy wheels, red Ralliart mudflaps and a black leather-trimmed interior with red piping and ‘T. Makinen Edition’ embroidery on the seats. The cabin is equipped with a MOMO steering wheel and air conditioning and the car also has an aftermarket air filter.This Evo was built in 2000, first registered with the DVLA on 12th April 2001 and is believed to have had five owners from new. It has accumulated a fair amount of dust and general cosmetic defects while off the road, but the seller reports that it still starts and drives. The history file includes its V5C, owner’s book pack and a well stamped service book, the last of which was in 2010. It was last MOT'd on the 22nd September 2014 and has covered just 137 miles since, with the current odometer reading showing 58,834 miles at the time of cataloguing.This car presents a unique opportunity to restore a modern classic for the future.SpecificationMake: MITSUBISHIModel: EVOYear: 2000Chassis Number: CP9A0201205Registration Number: Y289 HEUTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 4G63BD3390 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 58834 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images
Displaying an odometer reading of 22,363 miles, this magazine-featured 450 SEL is the best example we have seen and is supplied with historical main dealer service receipts, the most recent of which is dated 2nd August 2022 - Offered Without Reserve.The Mercedes-Benz W116 range was produced between 1972 and 1980 and the first model to officially carry S-Class nomenclature, the S derived from the word ‘sonderklasse’, meaning 'special class'. If the S was partnered with an E, then the car was fitted with fuel injection, or ‘einspritzung’ and if it was tailed with an L, then it was the long wheelbase model. The W116 range offered smaller engines in the line up on standard wheelbases, but it was the 450 SEL, with its 4.5-litre V8 engine and extra legroom, that filled the gap in the market between the expensively ostentatious Silver Shadow and the cheaper, but thirsty V12 Daimler. Performance was comparable and the build quality set an industry benchmark, whilst the three-pronged star remained aspirational for a new generation. Produced between 1973 and 1980 the 450 SEL was the third most popular W116 model with 59,578 cars sold.As ever with a popular car, very few remain today in this condition, rarer still as a right-hand drive car, and naturally UK-supplied cars have faired the worst due to our weather. Cars of this era in this condition are rare but occasionally available, only found however when the first owner and subsequent custodians have cherished it. As such, this UK-supplied 450 SEL in Silver Blue metallic with dark blue velour interior is a testament to the car’s first owner, who took delivery on 1st September 1979. For whatever reason, he sold the car to a wealthy pub landlord in Bristol, William Mace in November 1979 and he kept it a bit longer, until 2005 in fact, as evidenced in the original registration documents that list the three subsequent owners, with the current keeper since 2014.The car was featured in the June 2006 edition of Classics Monthly, copy included, and the odometer reading was 13,608 miles. It sits on the correct set of 14-inch ‘Bundt’ alloy wheels and is shod in Michelin XWX tyres. Factory features include self-levelling suspension, an electric sunroof, climate control, electric windows and a period-appropriate Hitachi radio cassette player. The condition is commensurate with the odometer reading of 22,263 miles and the history file includes historic service receipts, previous MOTs and owner’s manuals. The car was serviced at a Mercedes-Benz main dealer on 2nd August 2022 and the MOT is valid until 1st August 2023.Quite simply one of the finest examples we have seen.SpecificationMake: MERCEDES-BENZModel: 450Year: 1979Chassis Number: 11603322093886Registration Number: XTC 494VTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 11798622049879 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 22363 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Blue VelourClick here for more details and images
Just 6,857 miles from new, UK-supplied as one of the 101 right-hand drive examples of the limited run of 500 of this very special Focus RS.Heritage has always been important to Ford and whilst the legendary Sierra RS500 was born on the race track the Focus gained its reputation on gravel. With a nod to both, the Ford Focus RS500 made its global debut at the Leipzig Motor Show on April 9th, 2010 and marked the final swansong for production of the remarkable, second generation, Focus RS. The new and more powerful, limited-edition Focus RS500 model was launched as the ultimate performance Ford to provide the definitive driving experience for serious performance car enthusiasts. The new model was given the RS500 designation to highlight its strictly limited production run of 500 individually-numbered vehicles and featured a muscular 345bhp, 2.5-litre, 5-cylinder engine, which generated 15% more power than the standard Focus RS and delivered truly exhilarating performance.In the raw, the RS looked a bit of a 'beastie' with its gaping grille, 19-inch wheels, flared arches, deep diffuser, and a wing that would embarrass a Porsche Turbo, leaving you in no doubt about its intentions. However, the limited-edition RS500 is even more dramatic, sporting a unique matt black 'foil' paint finish with matching alloy wheels and delivering a powerful visual impact unmatched by any other production Ford. The last of these remarkable vehicles left Ford's Assembly Plant in Germany during September 2010 and have been sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike in later years, with low mileage examples commanding a premium.Offered here is car Number 160 of the 500 built and was first registered in the UK on the 14th October 2010 as one of just 101 right-hand drive examples. With such a limited supply of right-hand drive cars and with many going to the enthusiast led UK-market, these cars were in high demand internationally. This car subsequently joined a “moving” car collection in Hong Kong in 2011 and used sparingly and maintained accordingly, as service receipts during this period show. The car was repatriated back to the UK by our vendor and registered to him on the 19th April 2022 with the DVLA, issued with the original registration number. We note that online registration records show that the car was not officially listed as exported and the accompanying V5C declares our vendor listed as the second keeper.Serviced on the 5th May 2022 at a cost of £1,824 (detailed in the accompanying Service Records), the MOT is valid until 7th April 2023 and the underbody photographs of the car speak for themselves. This car’s mileage of 6,857, at the time of cataloguing, is matched by the superb condition and represents a unique opportunity in the modern Fast Ford market. As a 'limited edition', the mileage is low enough to be of interest to collectors but not so low that annual incremental increases would detract from the car’s desirability in years to come. This car was designed for the Ford driver who respects heritage, engineering and performance to be enjoyed not just by the driver but also the roadside enthusiast. Our vendor has a passion for Fords and will be investing the sales proceeds into an older performance Ford.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: FOCUSYear: 2010Chassis Number: WF0GXXGCDGAJ86660Registration Number: SY60 VPZTransmission: ManualEngine Number: AJ86660 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 6857 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images
Car #017 of just 50 official UK-market Passion Red examples, covering just over 30,000 miles from new.Launched at the peak of rally mania, Mitsubishi experienced huge success in Lancer Evolution sales, reportedly selling 6,000 Evolution IVs in the first three days of its launch! The 1996 WRC season brought Mitsubishi its first World Rally Championship drivers’ title, with thanks to a blisteringly quick driver named Tommi Makinen.In quick succession, the Lancer Evolution VI came to be and, in the latter-half of 1999, Mitsubishi unleashed a special edition to celebrate its favourite driver’s four consecutive WRC drivers’ titles from 1996-1999; the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI 'Tommi Makinen Edition (TME). The Evolution VI was already a technological tour-de-force but the TME came equipped with a more responsive titanium turbocharger, uprated and lowered suspension, quicker steering, an upgraded exhaust, a new ECU, beefed-up transfer case internals, a redesigned front bumper for improved cooling and authentic 17-inch WRC Enkei alloy wheels. The interior featured embossed Recaro seats, a MOMO steering wheel and red stitching. The performance upgrades saw 0-60mph despatched in 4.4 seconds and a maximum top speed of 150mph. Power was rumoured to be north of 300bhp, rather than the 276bhp 'Gentleman’s agreement'.Widely regarded as the finest Lancer to wear the Evolution badge, it was available in five colours, with Passion Red and Canal Blue joining Scotia White, Pyrenean Black and Satellite Silver. Only 250 TMEs (across the five colours) were officially imported into the UK, with 100 examples going to Australia, and the rest sold domestically in the Japanese market. Official figures show that of the UK’s allocation, only 50 examples were in Passion Red. According to Mitsubishi, it was these Passion Red cars that automatically received the renowned racing decals, known as a 'Special Colour Package' (SCP), meaning that these examples were factory-fitted with black door handles (so as to not break the line of the long profile decal). In the world of Mitsubishi aficionados, the consensus is that there were just 212 official factory SCP examples of the TME produced.The car presented here is very special indeed. Not only is it a genuine Evolution VI Tommi Makinen Edition (CP9A/SNGF2) SCP car (i.e. one of 212), but it is also an official UK-market example. This means it was officially imported by Mitsubishi-affiliated Ralliart UK; hence it would have been professionally SVA’d and is supplied with UK service books, a calibrated speedometer, an unleaded-spec fuel restrictor, cold-climate battery and alternator, plus it is individually numbered on a plaque in the cabin (No. 017). The car was originally sold to its first owner through Marshall Mitsubishi of Cambridge and has an impressive service history, which combined with MOT data helps verify the indicated mileage of just 30,085.Hugely collectable and skyrocketing in both value and rarity, these cars are rightly touted as an appreciating modern-classic, with all the ingredients to be a shrewd investment. This is arguably the ultimate iteration of all road-going Mitsubishis. A true opportunity to both own and enjoy, safe in the knowledge that interest and demand continues to grow for these original rally homologation icons, with USA import excitedly looming on the horizon.SpecificationMake: MITSUBISHIModel: EVOYear: 2000Chassis Number: CP9A0201431Registration Number: Y6 MAKTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 4G63BG2252Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 30077 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black/Red ClothClick here for more details and images

LAGAVULIN 15 YEAR OLD WHITE HORSE DECANTERSingle malt.The Islay distillery of Lagavulin first gained notoriety in 1862 when it was acquired by the well-known blender, John Logan Mackie. He then passed the reins to his nephew Peter, who is credited with the creation of the highly regarded White Horse Blend. This blend was so successful that by 1924 the Mackie group changed their name to White Horse Distillers, before becoming part of the DCL group a few years later. Lagavulin single malt was still produced under the White Horse Distillers name until the late 1990s when it became part of the Diageo conglomerate.The most famous advocate of Lagavulin is probably fictional character, Ron Swanson, from hit US sit-com Parks & Recreation. However, Nick Offerman (the actor who plays Ron) must also enjoy a drop, as he has partnered up with the distillery to create his own limited-edition whisky.45% ABV / 75cl Please note that these decanters were sold unsealed by the distillery. However, while we have no reason to doubt the authenticity of this lot, it is impossible to guarantee the liquid inside.Please see additional image.Weight of decanter: 1374g

GLENFIDDICH CENTENARYSingle malt.Without Glenfiddich, Scotland might not enjoy the same thriving whisky scene it has today. Founded in 1886 by William Grant, and still family owned, Glenfiddich was one of the first distilleries to seriously market single malt whisky as a credible alternative to blends. This decision was prompted by a dispute with their grain supplier in 1963, leading to a scaling back in production of their Grant’s blend. By the late 1960s Glenfiddich single malt was a firm hit with the Jet Set, who were picking it up in their droves from the newly emerging Duty-Free market.That early prescience clearly paid off, as (despite strong competition from fellow Speyside giants Glenlivet and Macallan) Glenfiddich is consistently the best-selling single malt in the world, shifting over 1 million cases every year.This special edition was bottled in 1987 to mark the distillery's 100th anniversary.Bottle Number: 378343% ABV / 75cl
