Margaret WARDMAN (XX-XXI) St Ives Pastel with graphite Signed and dated '89 25cm x 38cm, 37.5cm x 50.5cm framed Shipping is available from £32.50 to a UK Mainland address. Margaret Wardman (née Shuttleworth) Margret Wardman (1922–2020), born, West Riding of Yorkshire, studied Fine Art at Bradford and Leeds Colleges of Art during WW11. In wartime, she also specialised in weaving at the Ministry of Pensions Hospital, Occupational Therapy Department, Eden Hall, Edinburgh, Scotland. Followed by an appointment at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield as an Occupational Therapist whilst fitting in three summers farming in Warwickshire and Worcestershire drawing subject matter for the painting Harvest Group. Post war, teaching art in schools in Accrington and Manchester. Through the strong, professional interconnections with artists in the North of England and its principal art galleries and museums, Margret’s paintings and drawings of the 1940’s and 50’s saw her visual language and modernist, artistic style grow in confidence and maturity. Her paintings were shown and regularly highlighted in reviews in group exhibitions such as the ‘Yorkshire Artists Exhibition’, the Annual West Riding Artists Exhibition’ and ‘Artists with North Country Associations’ at Bradford, Leeds, Manchester and Wakefield City Art Galleries. Painting and family life ran parallel, expecting the first of three children, sketching subject matter for the oil painting, Buck’s Mills whilst on holiday in Devon. Involvement with Otley and Ilkley arts Clubs at that time provided further opportunities to exhibit and develop her talent. The family’s civil engineering business brought about a move and a period of four decades living on the Somerset levels. There a new focus for drawing and recording the architectural specialisms of the level’s historic, Dutch style houses emerged along with commissions for illustrations for local businesses. A more personal, intimate, domestic subject matter flowed through her flower studies integrated with her gardens. Margaret’s later paintings, she settled in Cornwall from 2006, rediscover her own pictorial language and formative experiences. As Barbara Hepworth noted in 1939-40, ‘the deep connectivity with the Cornish landscape and the Yorkshire Moors’ meant, for Margaret, her continued exploration of modernism and strong pictorial form - planar space, structure, composition, line, painted mark with colour which the earlier canvases had produced.

The term "1911" is commonly associated with the M1911 pistol, a semi-automatic handgun that has played a significant role in firearms history. The M1911 is a single-action, magazine-fed pistol that was designed by John Browning and became the standard-issue sidearm for the United States military from 1911 until 1985. Here are key features and details about the M1911:1. **Design and Origin**: The M1911 was designed by John Browning and was adopted by the U.S. military in—you guessed it—1911. It replaced the previous standard-issue sidearm, the M1892 revolver.2. **Caliber**: The M1911 is chambered for the .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) cartridge. The .45 ACP is known for its stopping power.3. **Single-Action Operation**: The M1911 operates in single-action mode, meaning the trigger performs only one function: releasing the hammer to strike the firing pin. The hammer must be manually cocked for the first shot, after which the semi-automatic action cycles.4. **7+1 Round Capacity**: The standard M1911 magazine typically holds seven rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber, resulting in an 8-round total capacity.5. **Grip Safety**: One distinctive feature of the M1911 is the grip safety, a lever on the back of the grip that must be depressed for the firearm to discharge.6. **Thumb Safety**: The M1911 also features a manual thumb safety on the left side of the frame. This safety can be engaged to prevent the trigger from being pulled.7. **Steel Frame and Slide**: Early models of the M1911 were predominantly made of steel, contributing to the gun's weight and durability. Modern versions may use different materials, including aluminum frames for reduced weight.8. **Military Service**: The M1911 served as the standard-issue sidearm for the U.S. military through World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. It was eventually replaced by the Beretta M9 in 1985, but the M1911 remains in use by some military and law enforcement units.9. **Civilian Use**: The M1911 gained popularity in civilian circles and among gun enthusiasts. Many firearm manufacturers produce civilian versions of the M1911, and it is widely used in competitive shooting sports.10. **Cultural Impact**: The M1911 has become an iconic firearm and has appeared in numerous movies, TV shows, and video games. Its design has influenced other handguns, and it continues to be a popular choice among gun owners.The M1911's longevity, reputation for reliability, and its role in military history have contributed to its status as one of the most iconic and recognizable handguns in the world.Measures 9 x 6 x 3.Wood.

Registration - XBV 353Chassis No. - TC3538M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 12,887Gloriously presented in British Racing Green, this MG TC Midget has spent much of its life in the Netherlands, though was a UK home market model when produced more than 75 years ago. The rich, dark green bodywork and grille is complemented by similar deep green leather upholstery, with wooden dashboard and chrome detailing inside and out. Fitted with MG’s 1.25-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and four-speed manual gearbox, ‘XBV 353’ includes a rear-mounted spare wheel, fitted black canvas roof, and beautiful details such as the art deco-style radiator cap ornament, and Bluemels Brooklands steering wheel.This TC Midget was exported to the Netherlands in 1960 so the indicated 12,887 miles on the five-digit instrument cannot be warranted. ‘XBV 353’ returned to the UK in 2015, and has been well-cared for since. The seller reports that the MG was subject to a comprehensive restoration when overseas, but unfortunately there is no documentation for this. It does come with a heritage certificate, original handbook, and tool-kit however, as well as a folder with what documentation is available, including reports of previous owners. The current owner considers the bodywork and paintwork as being in ‘good’ condition, while the engine, transmission, electrics, and interior are all rated as ‘excellent’. MG’s T-Type cars are a series of models built from 1936 until 1955 – including the TA, TB, TC, TD, and TF. The first generation TA Midget was an evolution of the PB predecessor, continuing the two-seater roadster style. Built on an ash frame with a steel body, it allowed for the option of a Tickford drophead coupe for greater weather protection than the canvas-roof convertible. Called the T-Type until the TB was launched, the TA was replaced in 1939, but as only a few months between the start of production until the outbreak of the Second World War, fewer than 400 TBs were made before MG switched its factories to manufacturing military components. Launched in 1945, the TC was the first post-war MG, and although similar to the pre-war model, it had a wider cabin for increased comfort, and slightly modified version of the 1,250cc engine used in the TB. Greater styling changes were seen with the TD, and TF models, though the same 1.25-litre engine featured almost until the end of production, other than the introduction of a 1.5-litre unit from mid-1954. The TF was superseded by the MGA in 1955. · Beautiful example of a post-war British classic roadster.· Home market model, but it has spent 55 years abroad.· Offered with heritage certificate and original handbook.
Registration - C879 FWUChassis No. - SAJJDALW3CC444243M.O.T. - April 2025Odometer - 99,490This formidable Daimler Double-Six comes in fresh white with a black leather interior. The heart of the car, its 5.3-litre V12 engine, is described as being in ‘excellent’ condition, as is the automatic transmission. It was acquired by the vendor at the end of 2023, he bought it from a close friend, called Dave, who’d owned it for more than two decades. An engineer by trade, Dave did all the work himself. The vendor doesn’t have any paperwork, but does report it passed every single MOT as far back as 2006 first time, “no advisories… that’s 19 on the trot. Quite remarkable”. The bodywork is described as ‘average’ but the underside is demed to be in good order, as is the interior, and the V12 Daimler drives “beautifully”. The Daimler Double-Six name was revived in 1972 for the flagship V12 version of the contemporary Jaguar XJ12. The twelve-cylinder Daimler was visually almost identical to the Jaguar, with only badges to distinguish them. The Double-Six enjoyed the same series upgrades as the Jaguar, and survived as the Series III until 1992. For those seeking a relatively affordable version of the iconic Jaguar V12 engine, the Daimler is a tempting choice. In summary:· Enviable V12 Daimler version of the well-loved Jaguar XJ· Diligently looked after by a trained engineer· Described as driving “beautifully”

The Mercedes-Benz SL-Series was first introduced back in 1954. SL stands for ‘Sport Leicht’, or sport light, and first appeared as a racing car in the early 1950s before it was decided to produce a road-going version too. Always a highly-specialist model that serves as the firm’s range-topping roadster, the Mercedes-Benz SL developed through multiple generations and this classic R107 series was introduced in 1971, running right through to 1989. It introduced a new design language along with cutting-edge safety features that showed Mercedes-Benz’ expertise in keeping its customers safe. One of the longest-running Mercedes-Benz derivatives, this 1983 380SL features a new aluminium V8 engine carried across from the S-Class luxury saloon. A TV icon of the 1980s, The R107 SL today is a very desirable classic Mercedes-Benz.

It is now waiting to share adventures with a new owner. The Volkswagen Type 2 (the Beetle was Type 1) dates back to 1949, and has long since acquired cult status courtesy of such diverse celebrity owners as Jamie Oliver, Martin Clunes, Roger Daltrey and Jenson Button. It has been home to generations of travelling Australians, helped hippies survive the ‘60s/‘70s and become the transport of choice for many a surfer. Variously available in van, bus, single and double cab pick-up, Kombi and camper guises etc, it would probably have been nicknamed the ‘car that changed the world’ if the Model T hadn’t got there first. The immortal ‘split screen’ T1 variant remained in production until 1967, when it was replaced by the single screen T2. Currently in its sixth generation, what is now known as the Volkswagen Transporter continues to be successfully marketed worldwide.

Offered for sale by the only the fourth keeper, who has had the keys for more than five years, ‘MK09 USS’ comes with original owner’s manual and documentation. The SLK 280 is considered by the vendor to be in ‘good’ condition in terms of bodywork, paintwork, and the interior, while the engine, transmission, and electrics are rated as ‘excellent’. Showing a credible 98,000 miles on the odometer, this SLK roadster can provide the right buyer with an ideal car for summer motoring. Mercedes-Benz’s love-affair with sportscars was expanded in 1995 with the smallest roadster the marque has made in its history – the SLK. The first-generation R170 brought a folding-hard top – dubbed the ‘Vario-Roof’ by Mercedes – at a time when most roadsters were being phased out, and those that weren’t, were offered with traditional a canvas roof. It quickly proved a success for Mercedes, pipping the likes of Porsche, Audi, and BMW in the executive roadster market. The first-generation was offered with a four-cylinder or V6 petrol engine – both either supercharged or naturally aspirated - and either five- or six-speed manual or five-speed automatic gearbox. The R171 second-generation model arrived in 2004, offered with a supercharged four-cylinder engine, or V6 and V8 units. A faster folding time, and more compact folded proportions for the roof were brought in for the second-generation, and optional features included ‘AirScarf’ neck heaters, and remote operation of the folding roof. A facelift came along in 2008, with revised front bumper, LED lighting, improved interior design, and tweaked steering system. It was replaced in 2011, by the third-generation R172 SLK – and later SLC – lasting until 2020 when the model range was cut from the portfolio. · Well-presented example of the SLK-Class compact executive roadster. · Powered by a Mercedes V6 engine. · Highly-equipped model, including electric folding hard-top, and heated leather seats.
Registration - MLG 617YChassis No. - GCATSB22921M.O.T. - January 2025Odometer - 00157This very smartly presented RS2000 is one of the desirable pre-Custom ‘Broadstripe' models, distinguished immediately from its successors by the wide tape line on the body side. It has recently benefited from a full restoration while under the ownership of the vendor, who is only the car’s third UK owner in 42 years. The V5C shows that 'MLG 617Y’ was built in 1976 - making it an early example - and first registered in the UK in 1982, having spent its early life overseas (believed to be South Africa, as would befit a right-hand-drive machine). Around the time of its repatriation to the UK, the RS2000 was resprayed in white in 1983, a change from its original-specification yellow. It remains finished in white, and is upholstered in black cloth. Bearing in mind the work carried out, it is perhaps unsurprising that the present owner rates the 2-litre engine, five-speed manual transmission, two-door bodywork, paintwork and interior as all being in ‘good’ order. While the odometer displays a tantalising 00157, it must be remembered that there are only five digits on the odometer display, so this is not an accurate reflection of the actual mileage! This highly collectable fast Ford is now being offered for sale complete with a full MOT until January 2025. Ford’s long awaited MKII RS2000 was launched at the 1975 Earls Court show. Based on the standard two-door saloon, it was the most luxurious of the sporting Escorts of the time, and was powered by an uprated version of the 2.0-litre SOHC inline four-cylinder Pinto unit employed in the Capri, Cortina and Granada – a four-into-two exhaust manifold coupled to a big bore exhaust system raising its output to 110bhp. This was sufficient to help sprint the Escort to 60mph in 8.5 secs and on to a top speed of around 110mph. The foam-filled plastic snout and flexible rear spoiler were said to give a significant reduction in drag. The custom version offered from late 1978 onwards featured the following: fishnet headrests on Recaro seats, full door cards, clock, centre console, 6Jx13in RS alloy wheels, boot carpet, remote-control driver’s door mirror and black rear body panel. The MKII RS2000 was immortalised by The Professionals TV series, in which a black-roofed white example was piloted with vigour by CI5 agent Ray Doyle (Martin Shaw). In summary: A very smartly presented Pre-Custom modelFresh from a recent restorationFull MOT until January 2025
Registration - WJ55 DHYChassis No. - SCBBE53W46C032466M.O.T. - July 2024Odometer - 78,571Presented in stately silver, this example of Bentley’s Flying Spur saloon comes with a navy and tan upholstered interior, with wood veneer dashboard, door trim, and centre console. Bentley’s colossal twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre W12 engine is installed up front, producing more than 550hp when new, and powering all four wheels through a six-speed automatic gearbox – helping make it the fastest and most powerful production saloon in the world when new. Handling is dealt with by an adaptive ais suspension system with continuous damping control. ‘WJ55 DHY’ is offered with factory-fitted equipment such as heated, cooled, and massaging electric seats, self-closing doors, sunroof, premium stereo system, infotainment system with satellite navigation, climate control, and multi-function steering wheel.Offered with a Bentley dealer service history up until 2012, and regular service stamps thereafter, ‘WJ55 DHY’ comes with all manuals and extensive history documentation. Owned by four keepers since new, the present owner has held the keys to ‘WJ55 DHY’ since the end of 2022. They describe the bodywork, paint, and interior as in ‘good’ condition, while the engine, transmission, and electrics are rated as ‘excellent’. The odometer reads 78,571 miles, and this Flying Spur is reckoned as a good overall example of Bentley’s luxury saloon. Introduced in 2005, Bentley launched the Continental Flying Spur – as it was initially known – using the 6.0-litre W12 twin-turbo engine used in other VW Group top-end models. It was also built on the same VW Group platform as Audi’s A8, the Volkswagen Phaeton, and Bentely Continental GT ranges. It quickly proved a popular model, complementing the Continental GT coupe and convertible line-up. Bentley produced the first-generation model until 2013, when the second-generation model was released, with a lower-cost V8 engine joining the range, as well as the Continental part of the name being dropped. Finally, the third-generation arrived in 2019, built on a new platform and with significantly updated styling, as well as a plug-in hybrid model joining the range – with production on-going. · Beautifully specified and well cared for example of Bentley’s Flying Spur.· Relatively low indicated mileage.· Powered by Bentley’s hugely powerful twin-turbo W12 engine.
Registration - H210 UGNChassis No. - VF1C4050502413897M.O.T. - April 2025Odometer - 106,000As a way of turning heads, there is little more effective than a Renault 5 GT Turbo, and this example, presented in white with hot-hatch decals, is a truly eye-catching machine. Powered by Renault’s 1.4-litre turbo-charged four-cylinder engine, and putting that power to the front wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox, ‘H210 UGN’ is a classic example of the late-80s/early-90s hot-hatch. Already a modern classic in terms of design – the R5 is returning as a retro-styled new model – the compact Renault features the body-kit, turbine aero wheels, and large exhaust that marks the GT Turbo apart from the rest of the R5 line-up. The white-with-red exterior contrasts with the black-with-red cabin, which includes many original features such as a sunroof, three-spoke steering wheel, electric windows, and patterned cloth bucket seats, as well as having been fitted with a period-correct Sony CD player.More than £9,000 has been spent on a full engine rebuild alone, according to the current owner, which has been put on a rolling road and produces 240hp. The brakes, suspension, and exhaust have all been worked on too, with changes documented in an extensive file, packed with paperwork, service books, original manuals, and all the old MOTs. The current owner – who has kept ‘H210 UGN’ for almost four years – rates all areas of the hatchback as in ‘excellent’ condition, from engine and transmission, to electrics, cabin, paint, and bodywork. Offered with a 12-month MOT, this R5 GT Turbo has an indicated 106,000 miles on the odometer. The Renault 5 Turbo has its roots in motorsport, with the first generation model a rally-inspired, mid-engined model, designed to fit World Rallying regulations of the time. Using a 1.4-litre engine – naturally turbocharged – it produced 160hp, and was only offered in wide-body form as a homologation special. When the second-generation Renault 5 arrived in 1984, a turbo version came along too, though this time in (slightly) more sedate styling. Now called the R5 GT Turbo, it was pitched against hot-hatch rivals such as the Peugeot 205 GTI, VW Golf GTI, and Lancia Delta HF Turbo. The 1.4-litre turbo engine remained, producing 115hp thanks to a Garratt T2 turbocharger, which was a relatively modest output, but the Renault only weighed 850kg. In 1987, a facelifted version was unveiled, adding water-cooling to the turbo system, and a new ignition system which allowed for a higher rev-limit. This pushed power to 120hp, and joined a range of revised styling changes. The Renault 5 GT Turbo continued until late 1991, when it was replaced by the Clio, was 16V and then Clio Williams hot-hatches. · Rare opportunity to own a classic early 1990s hot hatchback.· Superb example of Renault’s 5 GT Turbo, offered with extensive history file.· Late model, with rebuilt and tuned engine.

Powered by Triumph’s 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine, ‘CFR 967S’ features a four-speed manual gearbox, and is a fifth-generation Spitfire – known as the Spitfire 1500. This Triumph is fitted with a three-spoke steering wheel, wooden-topped gearstick, period-matching radio, and convertible roof.The paint, bodywork, and interior are described by the current owner as being in ‘below average’ condition, though the engine, transmission, and electrics are rated as ‘good’.

Triumph produced the Spitfire over five generations, starting in 1962 with the Spitfire 4 (Mk I). Designed by Giovanni Michelotti, the Spitfire came about as a rival to the Austin Healey Sprite, powered by a 1,147cc four-cylinder engine. In 1965, the Spitfire 4 MkI arrived with a revised engine, camshaft, clutch, and design tweaks, surviving a couple of years until the Spitfire Mk III was launched. This saw the first major revisions to the Spitfire model, with a new bumper, front springs, interior, steering wheel, and folding roof. The engine was bored out to 1,296cc, boosting power, which saw the Mk III continue into production into 1970. The fourth-generation Spitfire Mk IV featured a design that brought it into line with the Stag and Triumph 2000 models. Offered for four years, the Mk IV featured a 1.3-litre engine throughout its run, and a hard-top was available as an option. The Spitfire 1500 became the run-out model for the badge, using a 1.5-litre engine for the final six years of Spitfire production. Almost 100,000 Spitfire 1500 units were produced, before production ceased in 1980. · Perfect for restoration, but running and able to be driven.· Offered at no reserve.· Powered by the largest engine fitted to the Spitfire – the 1.5-litre inline four.

A 1.5-litre version with a three-speed manual gearbox, it is finished in classic black with a gorgeous red leather interior. There are delightful touches of Americana throughout, reflecting Ford’s US roots, although the original registration number is classically British. The engine, paintwork and interior are described as ‘average’, while the bodywork is ‘good’ and both transmission and electrics are ‘excellent’. It is now MOT exempt, and although it doesn’t have a huge amount of service history, the vendor confirms it has not been a competition car or been modified. A wonderful classic Ford with an attractive estimate, this Consul is all ready to celebrate more than seven decades on the road with an enthusiastic new owner. Ford of Britain introduced the famous Consul in 1951, and built it here for the next 11 years. It was the core, top-selling model in a range that also included more upmarket Zephyr and Zephyr Zodiac versions. Launched at the London Motor Show, this 1508cc version was very advanced for the time, with a four-cylinder engine that boasted overhead valves and hydraulic clutch. In a notable engineering landmark, the Consul was the first British production car to use MacPherson strut front suspension. This version sports the later asymmetrical dashboard, featuring a chrome instrument housing with speedometer, ammeter and fuel gauge in a single binnacle above the steering column. The resultant full-width parcel shelf left space for an optional radio to be fitted.

A replacement for the Cortina, the Sierra was offered in three- and five-door hatchback, four-door saloon, and five-door estate configurations, with a variety of engine options available – largely petrol, but two diesel units were offered – and a choice of manual or automatic transmissions. Famously raced in both rallies and touring car categories thanks to work with Cosworth, the Sierra underwent a facelift in 1987, with a completely revised front end, larger side windows, new rear light clusters, and a new engine option.

Registration - LK53 UCFChassis No. - WDB2304742F059752M.O.T. - July 2024Odometer - 81,000A true sleeper car, this example of Mercedes-Benz’s SL55 AMG looks superbly understated and refined, rather than the high-performance Grand Tourer it undoubtedly is. Presented in traditional silver, over a black interior, ‘LK53 UCF’ is powered by Mercedes’ AMG tuned 5.5-litre supercharged V8, which produced more than 500hp when new. This drives the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission, with paddles on the steering wheel for manual override. Packed with a long list of factory-fitted equipment, ‘LK53 UCF’ includes features such as heated and electric leather seats, multi-function steering wheel, drive mode selector, central infotainment system, split-rim AMG alloys, AMG badging, discreet boot lip spoiler, black – rather than chrome – grille and vent detailing, quad exhaust, and of course, the folding hard-top roof.Despite this R230 SL-Class being a 20 year old car, there are only 81,000 miles indicated on the odometer, though these are not warranted. It’s been in the car of the current owner for more than 12 years, and it has been stored for the past three years. On being put back on the road, the owner says they have had ‘LK53 UCF’ overhauled to make it ready for driving again. As such, they consider all areas of the SL55 AMG to be in ‘excellent’ condition, from engine and transmission, to interior, paint, bodywork, and electrics. The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is one that is steeped in history, with a series of class-leading models produced over the years, since its introduction in 1954. The ‘SL’ is likely to stand for Sport-Licht (Sport Light) – though Mercedes has never confirmed this abbreviation – though the model has moved towards a grand tourer over the decades from its initial sporting roots. The W198 300 SL is one of the most famous and desirable cars ever, with the famous ‘Gullwing’ coupe and convertible Roadster lasting until 1963. They were replaced by the almost equally beautiful W113 models, nicknamed the ‘Pagoda’ SL because of a concave roofline. This edition was produced until 1971, using a range of 2.3, 2.5, or 2.8-litre straight-six engines. The R107 SL arrived in 1971, with a new design ethos, and the first-time fitting of V8 engines alongside straight sixes. These grew up to 5.5-litres in size, as the SL moved towards a touring model, though it was rallied by Mercedes-Benz in long-distance races. In 1989, the R129 version arrived, introduced as a convertible with a removable hard-top – and the engine capacities and cylinder count continued to climb. Now available with the straight-six units were V6 and V6 options – the latter up to 6.0-litres in size – and also a trio of V12 options, up to 7.3-litres. In 2001, the distinction between cabriolet and coupe was completely removed, with the introduction of the Vario Roof. This saw a folding hard-top fitted as standard to all models, allowing for two cars in one, and was continued on to the R231 version introduced in 2012, running until 2020. Finally, the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class has become the Mercedes-AMG SL-Class, signifying its shift to the sports arm of the Stuttgart marque, and is offered only as a convertible, with folding soft-top roof and 2+2 seating. · Highly-specified example, with desirable colour scheme and cabin.· Sought-after, high power SL55 AMG fitted with supercharged V8.· Recently refreshed after time in storage.

The vendor has owned this 2003 model for more than a year, after purchasing it from an elderly lady custodian in Oxford. They report it has a comprehensive service history including servicing and MOT details, plus engine and gearbox maintenance. Believed to be a matching-numbers car, this Porsche 911 has received a new exhaust and has also been cosmetically refreshed by a front bumper respray. With a credible 122,000 miles on the clock, both engine and automatic transmission are described by the current owner as being in ‘excellent' condition, while bodywork, paintwork and the full leather interior are deemed to be ‘average'.The Porsche 911 996 was a ground-breaking model for the German sports car firm – the first-ever water-cooled Porsche 911 since the series was introduced back in the 1960s. A brilliantly-conceived car, it was a truly modern 911 that still had the rear-engined character of the original, but with much-needed modern refinements and a big lift in everyday usability. This 2003 model is a later generation with the larger 3.6-litre engine, as opposed to the launch 3.4-litre, and it benefits from many of the ongoing reliability updates Porsche introduced through the years. Right now, the 996-era Porsche 911 is increasingly being seen as a future classic collectable, with values tipped to start increasing from here, just as they did for the early 964-generation model. Now is a great time to get onto the ladder before prices start going up again! In summary:· 2003 model that was previously owned by an elderly lady· Extensive file of receipts· Excellent engine and gearbox, and very well-priced

This example, which is powered by a later 2.2-litre four-cylinder Land Rover engine with a four-speed gearbox, has been in the UK for the past two decades, and has been carefully used by the vendor as a wedding car throughout this time. They have carried out all recent work, with full evidence, and report it has been used infrequently over the past three years. It is therefore now being sold because of a new house build and subsequent clear-out. Intriguingly, although it is a French import, it retains right-hand drive, as it predates the French driving side swap. It comes with a copy of the original French registration. The vendor adds the Chenard-Walcker comes with the original engine, which is available for the buyer after the auction. Chenard-Walcker was founded by Ernest Chenard and Henri Walcker in 1898, initially to make motor tricycles. As the dawn of motoring gathered pace, the enterprising duo soon expanded into the automobile arena, launching their first true automobile in 1900. The company quickly grew, going public in 1906, and a Parisian taxi supply saw it soon become the night largest French automaker. In a landmark moment, Chenard-Walcker won the very first Le Mans 24 Hours Race in 1923 and, by 1925, it was the fourth-largest French OEM. Sadly, it was a victim of the increasing move away from hand-built cars towards mass production, and went bankrupt in 1936. However, it did continue manufacturing trucks, which were sold through Peugeot dealers, until the 1970s. In summary:· Elegant cream and maroon car from a French pioneer· Used as a wedding car for the past two decades· Right-hand drive and has a copy of the original French registration

This late example of a V8 250 is an older restoration model, featuring Daimler’s 2.5-litre V8 Turner-designed petrol engine, and three-speed automatic, column-shift automatic transmission. Presented in Ascot Fawn paintwork with late-model thin chrome bumpers, ‘YNP 14G’ comes with a red leather interior, including front bench seat, and wood veneer dashboard. One of the last built, ‘YNP 14G’ is a low mileage model that has covered fewer than 1,000 miles since 2018, according to the current owner. Offered with an extensive file of paperwork, which includes original handbooks and radio operating instructions, the service book has 28 stamps inside. All the old MOTs are included, as are the original Daimler documents with service chart. Work carried out includes a professionally stripped and resprayed shell 10 years ago, a replacement gearbox was fitted in 1978, a stainless steel exhaust installed fewer than 4,000 miles ago, when the power steering system was also reconditioned, and a new prop shaft bearing fitted. Front brakes were overhauled at the same time, while the rear brakes were replaced fewer than 1,000 miles ago. Otherwise, much of the Daimler is original or sympathetically restored. The chromework and body panels are considered in ‘good’ condition by the seller, as are the paintwork and interior, while the electrics, engine, and transmission are rated as ‘excellent’. They also consider the indicated 72,277 miles shown on the odometer as genuine. Jaguar’s Mk II is one of the all-time great classic saloons, combining style, practicality, and performance, and Daimler’s version – initially the 2.5 V8, and latterly the V8 250 – shares these attributes. Launched in 1962, it sits at the crossroads of Daimler’s heritage. Following the company’s acquisition by Jaguar, the 2.5 V8 was the first to use a Jaguar platform, and the last to feature a Daimler designed engine. The main change to the Jaguar Mk II is the use of Daimler’s V8, rather than Jaguar’s straight-six XK unit. The Daimler V8 was smaller and lighter than Jaguar’s engine, and as such, Daimler revised the spring and damper settings. Some alterations had to be made to the sump and exhaust manifolds, and Daimler’s use of the Borg Warner Type-35 automatic transmission was also smaller than the gearboxes used on Jaguar’s models, further altering the driving characteristics. It was called the 2.5 V8 from 1962 at its launch until 1967, when a minor facelift saw the name changed the V8 250. Design changes included new, slimmer bumpers and over-riders, a revised electrical system, and an alternator rather than a dynamo. Padding was fitted over the instrument panel, and ventilated leather upholstery offered, with power steering and overdrive optional extras, until it ceased production in 1969. · High quality refurbished example of Daimler’s landmark saloon.· Huge file of paperwork and original documentation.· Rare opportunity to own a Daimler V8 250

The interior is presentable too, with no rips, splits or burns, and also benefits from refurbished wooden door cappings. This car displays just 87,000 miles on the clock, though this is not warranted, and, while it was built in 1985, it was originally registered on the Isle of Man. It came to the UK in 1987, so that’s the date of registration shown on the logbook. The vendor says the only reason for sale is imminent retirement. As well as being a Rolls-Royce enthusiast, they are heavily into Harley Davidsons, “so after eight great years, have decided to pass the car onto someone who will get more use out of it than me – which is what she deserves”.The Silver Spirit was launched in 1980 as the first of a new generation of Rolls-Royce.

Unique and distinctive, this stunning Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu is raring and ready to start turning heads this summer. The Chevrolet Chevelle is one of the firm’s most successful nameplates, and the top-of-the-line Malibu marked its entry into the muscle car market of the 1960s. It was available in numerous body styles, including sedans, station wagons and convertibles, but the two-door hardtop is one of the most desirable. Launched in 1963, the Chevelle sold almost 340,000 units even in its first year, and continuous development saw its appeal simply grow. Although it was a mid-size car in US terms, it remains a large model by British standards, measuring over five metres long. This, along with the rumbling V8 and classic muscle car looks, will ensure the Chevelle will be the centre of attraction wherever you go.

Registration - K203 EBHChassis No. - 1G1YY23P9P5102919M.O.T. - September 2024Odometer - 68,000Magnificent in maroon, this example of Chevrolet’s Corvette C4 sportscar is a highly desirable 40th Anniversary edition, celebrating four decades of one of America’s most famous models. Powered by Chevrolet’s 5.7-litre V8 petrol engine, ‘K203 EBH’ runs a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. Imported in 2019 from California, this Corvette C4 Targa is a home-market model and as such is left-hand drive. The 40th Anniversary edition comes well specified with factory-fitted equipment, including electric seats, ride control, and 40th Anniversary motifs stitched into the body-colour matching Ruby Red leather upholstery as well as decals on the Ruby Red metallic bodywork.The current owner has completed an extensive list of work within the last two years. This includes the Opti-Spark ignition system – including ignition module, coil, and eight Bosch injectors – timing chain and gears, water pump and gasket, and coolant, air intake, and O2 sensors. The vendor considers the paintwork and electrics of ‘K203 EBH’ as ‘average’, while the engine, bodywork, and interior are reckoned ‘good’; the transmission is thought of as ‘excellent’. This apparently relatively low mileage example – the odometer shows an unwarranted 68,000 miles – has been carefully looked after during its time in the UK. ' K203 EBH' is offered for sale with an MOT until September 2024. Chevrolet’s Corvette first arrived in 1953, leading the way for a generation of American models that would go on to gain legendary status. It ran a 3.9-litre straight-six petrol engine for the first three model years, before Chevrolet fitted the V8 that is now synonymous with the Corvette name from 1955, with a revised design in 1956, tweaked again in 1958, and then 1961. The second-generation Corvette C2 appeared in 1963, until 1967, introducing the Stingray name. Production lasted until 1967, with improvements such as all-round disc brakes, and a big-block V8 added during that time. The third-generation arrived in 1968, lasting until 1982, featuring T-Top removable roof panels, and marking the 25th anniversary in 1978. The C4 Corvette was the first model to feature a complete redesign, arriving in 1984, and using a 205hp 5.7-litre V8 with four-speed automatic transmission initially. It came as a one-piece Targa, and power outputs from increased up to 403hp over various specifications, until production ceased in 1996, when the fifth of the Corvette’s eight generations arrived. · US import Corvette C4 in sought-after specification.· 40th Anniversary edition.· Extensive list of work carried out since 2019.
Registration - K462 KWWChassis No. - WBSHC92000GE00042M.O.T. - January 2925Odometer - 191,000Fast becoming an iconic model, wearing a legendary badge, this beautifully-maintained BMW M5 is already a modern classic. ‘K462 KWW’ is a second-generation version of BMW’s M5 range, powered by the Munich firm’s famous 3.8-litre straight-six petrol engine. Driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox, this stealthy super-saloon can still embarrass many sportscars now, let alone at the time it was new. And of course, that’s not simply in a straight line – BMW’s M Division sprinkled its expertise over the suspension and chassis, ensuring the M5 helped build up the German giant’s now famous reputation for driving dynamics. ‘K462 KWW’ is stylishly presented in black with an Alcantara grey interior which features factory-fitted items such as a sunroof, BMW M alloys, and electric seats. During the vendor’s 16-year ownership, the car was kept off the road from 2014 to 2021, and has had considerable work carried out. It has been largely taken apart, and rewelded where necessary, including jack-in points, inner seals, and floors. The engine has had a full upper rebuild, timing chain and tensioner updated, new clutch, and a reconditioned prop-shaft. The suspension has seen new springs fitted at the front, as well as bushes, joints, and steering joints, while the brakes have new disks and pads all round, with new front callipers. Other work carried out includes new radiators, alternator, water pump, hoses, headlining, and wiper linkage, with the valve clearances carried out twice. And of course, all of this has been documented, with a huge file of paperwork. It is offered with an MOT to 21 April 2025, which does have an advisory for cracked rear tyres, but these will be replaced prior to sale. In addition, the car comes with a full spare, jack, and tool-kit.The vendor describes ‘K462 KWW’ as being in ‘good’ condition throughout, from engine and transmission, to cabin, electrics, paintwork, and bodywork, indicating that this M5 is ready to be driven with no real work required straight away, with the amount of work carefully carried out meaning the buyer can likely shrug off the indicated 191,000 miles showing on the odometer.The BMW M5 technically began with the E28 model in 1985, though this had a ‘soft-launch’ the year before with the M535i, showing just what BMW’s M Division could do, and how well it would be received; the company hasn’t looked back. Originally featuring a 3.5-litre straight six engine, the first generation M5 E28 was superseded in 1988 by the E34 model, which saw the fitment of the M1 supercar’s fabulous straight-six under the bonnet. It reinforced the badge perfectly, and established the M5 as one of the practical performance cars of the late 80s. In 1992 it was revised, with adaptive suspension, performance brakes, and a new 3.8-litre engine, before the introduction of the E39 BMW M5 in 1998, which dropped the straight-six engine in favour of a more powerful V8. · Extensively reconditioned example of BMW’s E34 M5.· Carefully maintained, with comprehensive service history and folder of work carried out.· Highly-sought after model offered in ‘good’ condition throughout.
