Registration No: LJ15 SZC Chassis No: 1FA6P8CF4F5307788 MOT: July 20251 of just 1,964 limited edition 50th Anniversary Performance Pack examples producedUnique Mustang having been further redeveloped by Fortis Auto DesignFeaturing wide-body, scissor doors and performance upgrades to 450bhpJust c.27,000 miles from newThe Ford Mustang is undoubtedly an American icon. The first production Mustang rolled off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan in March 1964 and was introduced to the public at the New York World's Fair on 17th April 1964. It was, and remains, one of the most successful product launches in automotive history, with the original Mustang selling over one million units in its first eighteen months alone. After five previous generations diluting the original 'Pony car', the sixth-generation arrived in 2013 to widespread consideration that Ford has perhaps returned the Mustang to its glory days. Publicly unveiled on the 5th of December 2013, in Dearborn, Michigan, New York, Los Angeles, California; Barcelona, Spain, Shanghai, China; and Sydney, Australia, with the internal project code name; S-550, with three engine options available: a newly developed 2.3 litre EcoBoost with 310bhp, a 3.7 litre 300bhp V6, or the 5.0 litre Coyote 435bhp V8 with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. A new independent rear suspension system was developed specifically for the new model. It also became the first factory version designed as a right-hand drive export model to be sold overseas through the Ford dealership network in right-hand drive markets.This intimidating 5.0 litre V8 special edition was initially imported by Bill Shepherd Mustang in 2015. Part of a limited edition 50th Anniversary Performance Pack run, just 1,964 examples were released to pay homage to the first generation Mustangs of 1964. It boasted retro stitching throughout, a retro-look instrument cluster surround and exclusive Black leather upholstery embossed with the Mustang 50-year logo. Chrome accents around the rear tail-lights and a special 50-year plaque on the dash noting this limited edition's place in history complete the many upgrades. The model was marketed as a 2014½ model, paying tribute to the original 1964½ model. Further modified from factory, Fortis Auto Design worked closely with renowned specialists to create this one-off bespoke example. Additions include a bespoke wide arch moulded body, lighting, suspension and exhaust upgrades. Arguably most notable is the fitment of scissor doors that give the Mustang additional flair. Offered displaying just c.27,000 miles, the Mustang has a history file including documented service history, showing a recent service at Ford Bury St Edmunds, a collection of MOTs, a current no advisory MOT until July 2025 and a current V5C document. This truly one-off Mustang is undoubtedly not for shrinking violets and harks back to how original Mustang owners would upgrade their 'pony car'.

Registration No: ML59 XEJ Chassis No: SHHFN23809U000304 MOT: October 2025Just one owner and offered directly from that ownerWarranted c.3,300 miles from newNumber 29 of approximately 600 Championship White Editions reputedly supplied to the UKCompletely unmolested and originalUndoubtedly one for the collector – find another!Described as ‘the most involving and rewarding performance hatchback on the market thanks to its lightweight, razor-sharp steering and a perfectly balanced chassis’, the Honda Civic is fast becoming a vehicle for the collector. The FN2 Civic Type R arrived in the UK in 2007, gone was the previous car’s floating dashboard with high-mounted gearshift; a wide, expansive dash now took its place, with a raised centre console, clusters of switches grouped close to the steering wheel and a split-level instrument cluster placing the speedometer just below the bottom of the windscreen. The powertrain was very similar to that of the previous EP3, with the same 1998cc 2-litre K20 four-cylinder VTEC engine under the bonnet. Producing 198bhp, the FN2 had a deeper, richer sound and also felt more refined. The last naturally aspirated Type R produced, the FN2 is surely one for the history books.The Championship White Edition cost an additional £1,140 above the standard Type R and featured an all-White colour scheme and a limited-slip differential. The paint was chosen to pay homage to the Type R's heritage and the differential ensured a more accurate driving experience. Very well received; one review described the Championship as "one of the most agile and engaging hot hatches around, offering masses of grip and precise, communicative steering", placing it above a Mountune Focus ST and Golf GTI Pirelli in a group test. No wonder they proved popular; with approximately 600 Championship White Edition examples sold in the United Kingdom.Supplied new by ALM Garage Honda of Macclesfield to its first and only owner, ‘ML59 XEJ’ was registered new on the 30th November 2009 and is number ‘0029’ of the Championship Editions. Benefitting from the GT pack (which came standard on Championship cars) consisting of cruise control, dual-zone climate control, electric folding mirrors, cooled airbox, fog lights, and automatic wipers, the Type R has been used incredibly sparingly throughout the vendor’s ownership, with a mere c.3,300 warranted miles from new having been amassed across the fifteen-year custodianship. Now offered for sale directly from the sole owner, the Civic is a completely unmolested and original example.Accompanied to sale by the original book pack with owner’s manual and service book presented in the Honda wallet, as well as purchase documentation including the purchase invoice and order form, numerous previous MOT certificates showing excellent advisory history and V5C document showing no former keepers. In addition, ‘ML59 XEJ’ boasts the original dealer number plates, rear windscreen sticker and original accessories. Rated as ‘excellent’ throughout (comprising engine, gearbox, electrics, bodywork, paintwork, and interior), finding another with this mileage is surely unrepeatable and this example would be a great addition to any collection!

Registration No: T755 GAN Chassis No: SAXXNWAZEXD172323 MOT: June 20251 of just 250 UK-supplied 40 limited editions and 1 of just 50 in this colour schemeJust c.53,650 miles from new and only three former keepersIn the current Mini-enthusiast ownership since 2016Pleasingly unmolested example and offered with a history fileThe Mini 40 was launched in 1999 to mark the 40th anniversary of the production of the Mini. Based upon the latter day Cooper S and therefore using the multi-point fuel injection engine, only 800 examples were manufactured, of which a mere 250 were earmarked for supply to the home market. The penultimate Mini limited-edition model produced and suitably luxuriously appointed, the '40' boasted a full-leather interior with piping complemented by a brushed-alloy dash incorporating additional instruments and a radio/CD player. The dashboard top was leather as were the gear-knob grip and door pockets. The driver's airbag and front seatbelt tensioners were other features unheard of when the original had been launched, while externally, a large bore exhaust finisher, twin driving lamps, body-colour wheel-arch extensions and 13" Minilite-style alloy wheels shod with low profile tyres, enhanced the look, as did spotlights and a bonnet badge with an embossed gold crest.One of the 250 UK-supplied examples, ‘T775 GAN’ was sold new via Faraday Rover of Newbury, being first registered on the 30th April 1999. Finished in the classic Island Blue paintwork (1 of 50) with Prussian Blue leather interior upholstery, the '40' was purchased into the current Mini enthusiast and serial-Mini owner's hands in 2016 and has been an attendee of numerous Mini shows and events whilst in their possession. Now offered displaying just 53,650 miles from new, this limited edition Mini has just three former keepers. Pleasingly unmolested and presented in the original specification, the '40' is offered with a history file that includes the original book pack in the Mini wallet containing the owner’s handbook and stamped service book, MOT history, and a current V5C document, as well as the original jack. A very rare Mini variant, especially as a UK-supplied example, that would grace any collection. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
