MOTORCYCLE RACING SILVERSTONE LIMITED EDITION POSTAL COVER AUTOGRAPHED BY KENNY ROBERTS Kenneth Leroy Roberts (born December 31, 1951) is an American former professional motorcycle racer and racing team owner. In 1978, he became the first American to win a Grand Prix motorcycle racing world championship. He was also a two-time winner of the A.M.A. Grand National Championship. Roberts is one of only four riders in American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) racing history to win the AMA Grand Slam, representing Grand National wins at a mile, half-mile, short-track, TT Steeplechase and road race events.

His dirt track-based riding style changed the way Grand Prix motorcycles were ridden. Roberts' proposal to create a rival motorcycle championship in 1979 broke the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) hegemony and increased the political clout of Grand Prix racers, which subsequently led to improved safety standards and a new era of professionalism in the sport. In 2000, Roberts was named a Grand Prix Legend by the FIM. He is also the father of 2000 Grand Prix world champion Kenny Roberts Jr. Ref G

A readily available, reliable and tuneable engine was required and BMC agreed to supply the 2,660cc four cylinder unit from its Austin A90 model, together with Austin’s three-speed with overdrive gearbox. For the chassis of the new car Healey and his son Geoffrey designed a simple but torsionally strong ladder frame using the A90’s independent coil spring/wishbone front suspension and a leaf-sprung rear axle located by Panhard rod, with drum brakes all round. Finally, an attractive, open two seater body was penned by Gerry Coker, the final rendition of which incorporated some last minute changes by Donald Healey himself. The result, launched to a surprised public at the 1952 London Motor Show, caused a sensation and met with immediate approval from press and enthusiasts alike. It looked superb with performance to match; producing 94bhp at 4,000rpm, it could achieve 111mph with the windscreen folded flat and 0-60mph acceleration in 10.3 seconds. Called simply the Healey 100, the new car also caught the attention of BMC supremo Leonard Lord who at once struck an agreement with Healey to market the car as the Austin Healey 100. Production began in May 1953 and it wasn’t long before the model was selling like hot cakes and featuring strongly in production racing on both sides of the Atlantic. This early 100-4 was first registered in May of 1954, finished in Ice Blue Metallic with complimenting dark blue leather trim. A locally owned car, MUS 403 was acquired in 1962 by the May family from its previous owner in Hampstead, London. Gifted from his father in the summer of 1964, the young owner enjoyed the Healey for a number of years, during which he met his wife-to-be. The Healey was taken on the newlywed’s honeymoon, and enjoyed for a number of years before being parked up in 1974 awaiting a restoration, which ultimately never commenced. Offered sadly due to the passing of its owner,, this untouched Healey is a prime candidate for full restoration. MUS 403 is supplied with a buff continuation log book, last MoT and insurance certificates from 1973 and tax disc to December 1974.

1975 MGB GT COUPE Registration Number: JPH 323N Chassis Number: GHD5-378504G Recorded Mileage: 73,100 miles - With ‘Sebring’-style bodywork upgrades The MGB was first introduced in May 1962 as a direct replacement for the MGA. October 1965 saw the introduction of the GT and was based on the already popular roadster. Designed by Pininfarina, the new GT sported a hatchback giving useful access to the rear luggage space and a rear bench seat that enabled the car to be called a 2+2. Although acceleration was slightly slower than the roadster, top speed was better by 5mph due to the increased aerodynamic efficiency. BMC promoted their new MG model through endurance road racing, specifically at the annual twelve-hour endurance race at Sebring, Florida. With less power than its competitors, the works team instead chose to “add lightness”. LIghtweight aluminium body panels were added for the “GTS” or ‘Sebring” race cars; the front valance, front wings, door skins, and GT hatch were all made from aluminium, and were designed to be bolted on. This 1975 MG-GT was restored around 10 years ago and modified partly to give the appearance of those Sebring racers. The bumpers were removed, the front valance altered, a Sebring-style bonnet added, also perspex headlamp covers, minilite wheels and decals. A solid and reliable example, the MG has been waxoyled to prevent corrosion, and in 2022 serviced with the carburettors rebuilt/tuned on a rolling road. Said to run nicely, this striking looking ‘B’ has been seen at Castle Combe and in the MG Paddock at a recent Haynes Breakfast Club Meet. The MG is mechanically standard other than electronic ignition, an electric cooling fan, also working overdrive on 3rd and 4th gears. Finished in Damask Red with black interior, this cool looking MG has the looks of the legendary Sebring racers, at a fraction of the price.

1988 FERRARI 412i Registration Number: E110 OFR Chassis Number: Recorded Mileage: 105,831 miles The Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 was introduced in 1976 as the successor to the rather larger 365 GT 2+2. With its much sleeker looks the Ferrari 365, also designed by Pininfarina, remained in production with very few styling changes until 1989 and proved to be a great success for the company. The 412 was introduced in 1985 and was a technically much improved and modernised version of the classic design, whilst still retaining a timeless and elegant shape. With a displacement of nearly 5 litres, the V12 engine now produced a healthy 340 bhp and ABS was available for the first time in a Ferrari. The Ferrari 412i is the ultimate version of the 400-series of four-seat Grand Touring cars and remains highly respected for its performance, luxury and ease of operation. Just 574 in total were built, of which 85 were right-hand drive. This rare right-hand-drive example was first registered in April 1998 to a professor from Glasgow, who took delivery of the car via H.R. Owen. The car is supplied with extensive main dealer service history from 1989 to 2003, with a total of 14 services from 1989 through to 2003 at 97,953 miles. Subsequently the car was stored for some time before being recommissioned by marque specialist Bell Sport and Classic (supported by bills to the tune of £11,000). Presented in Chiaro Blue with Crema leather interior, this is a well estimated example of a fast and understated V12-engined Ferrari, the likes of which we may never see again.

1971 RELIANT SCIMITAR GTE CONVERTIBLE Registration Number: TBA Chassis Number: 452221 Recorded Mileage: 21,300 miles - In current ownership for over 30 years - Subject of a bodywork and trim restoration Following its first forays into the sports car market - the Sabre and Sabre Six - Reliant finally began to get it right in 1964 with the introduction of the Scimitar. The handsomely styled newcomer's coupe body was the work of the Ogle design studio, while beneath the skin there was a new chassis, plus the running gear and Ford 2.5-litre straight-six engine of the Sabre Six. The Scimitar's straight-line performance was excellent right from the start - 116mph and 0-60 in 11.4 seconds - and once the rear suspension had been revised (in 1965) it possessed handling to match. A little fewer than 300 were made before the arrival of the improved, Ford V6-engined versions in 1966. Introduced in October 1968, the trend-setting Scimitar GTE established an entirely new class: the sports estate. Based on the Tamworth firm's existing Scimitar GT coupé, the newcomer boasted a new chassis both longer and wider than its predecessor's while retaining the latter's basic running gear and 3.0-litre Ford V6 engine. Like the coupé, the glassfibre-bodied GTE was the work of Ogle Design, whose brilliant idea was the incorporation of a glass 'hatchback' rear door in a semi-fastback, estate-type 2+2 bodyshell. Blessed with strikingly good looks that would stand the test of time, the GTE was comfortable, practical and fast. The model proved a huge commercial success for Reliant and spawned a host of imitations from larger manufacturers. A 1971 model, this unique Scimitar is one of a handful converted into a targa-roofed cabriolet many years ago. The work was clearly performed to a good standard, the conversion being neat, stylish and well executed, with details such as additional air vents on the bonnet and the front spoiler. Our current vendor purchased the Scimitar over 30 years ago, and more recently has treated it to a sympathetic restoration. The body was stripped and refinished in dark metallic grey paintwork, set off by classic Wolfrace wheels on each corner. The interior was retrimmed in leather/alcantara, with new carpeting, full mohair hood, tonneau cover and hood bag, and a Moto-Lita steering wheel. Interestingly at some point the Scimitar was fitted with a lifting system, negating the need for a separate jack for removing the road wheels. Since the work was completed the Scimitar has been used in the summer time and for holidays to France, during which it ran very well with a decent amount of 'oomph' on the autoroute. The car has been dry stored recently and will benefit from a new service and MoT certificate prior to sale. A cool, interesting, unusual and capable car, this sensibly estimated sportscar makes the ideal summer companion. Note: Interested parties should note the private registration number ‘PEN 19’ will be sold via separate negotiation, the car will be offered instead on an age-related plate.
Lot 20A
1974 MG MIDGET Registration Number: PVV 294N Chassis Number: G-AN5/147935-G Recorded Mileage: c.16,500 miles Launched in Monte-Carlo in May 1958 as a low-cost entry model, the Sprite was designed by Donald Healey but made by BMC in Abingdon, Oxford. So it was hardly surprising that the success of the design would lead to an MG version, the “Midget”. The new Midget was a sports car in the traditional MG mould; small, inexpensive, fast (enough), and safer with predictable handling. Above all, it was a fun! The Midget evolved over the years from a badge-engineered version of the Austin-Healey Sprite. In 1964 the new Midget Mark II was revealed, with a new and more comfortable cockpit, wind up windows, quarter-lights, better instrumentation, lockable doors and the option of wire wheels. The biggest change however was improved rear suspension and a boost in performance, the 1098cc engine now produced a heady 59bhp due to a new three-branch manifold and cylinder head improvements. In 1966 the Mark III was announced with more power via the 1275cc 64bhp engine derived from the Mini Cooper ‘S’. The hood was now permanently attached to the car with an improved mechanism making it much easier to use, and to extend its range the Mark III received a larger fuel tank. The MG Midget MkIII gained a separate master cylinder for the clutch, and a permanently attached hood with an improved mechanism making it much easier to use. This more desirable Round Wheel Arch variant was first registered in May 1974, finished in a very period shade of Citroen Yellow with Black trim, wire wheels and oil cooler, and sold via agent Taylors Limited of Falmouth in Cornwall. By the early 2000s the Midget resided in Northern Ireland, with two owners before returning to the UK in the last few years. In around 2012-14 the Midget benefited from many improvements, with parts receipts on file for amongst other things, a replacement fuel tank, various hoses, brackets, seals, fuel pipes, filters, fixings, head gasket, clutch master and slave cyinders and other service items. In current ownership since 2021, the MG has also been treated to new front brake discs and pads, rear brake wheel cylinders, and wheel bearings. Driven to the auction by the vendor, we understand the MG starts and drive very nicely. The interior trim is in good order, however the paintwork unfortunately has suffered from microblistering on most panels and will require attention. The Midget comes with soft top, separate tonneau cover and hood cover. Offered with a current V5C, history file, and both sets of keys, this Midget can be enjoyed to the full this summer and cosmetically improved as and when time and funds allow.
Lot 39
1938 ROVER 12HP SPORTS SALOON Registration Number: ETV 99 Chassis Number: 841520 Recorded Mileage: c.29,000 miles Rover’s 14/6 model was launched in 1934 on a lengthened under-slung chassis but retained its predecessor's 1,577cc, six-cylinder, overhead-valve engine. The new frame enabled the adoption of low-line bodies, among them attractive ‘streamline’ versions of both saloon and coupé. Chassis specification included a four-speed freewheel gearbox, hydraulic brakes, Luvax-Bijur automatic lubrication and electric windscreen wipers. For 1939 the 14hp was revamped with a new 1,901cc ‘six’ developed from the four-cylinder unit of the contemporary Ten. This example was first registered in April of 1938, finished in black with a dark green leather interior. The car later found its way to the Isle of Wight where it resided for a number of years before travelling back to the mainland in recent years. Acquired in 2022 from deceased estate, the Rover has recently had the carburettor rebuilt, is complete with a number of spares, and is being sold as a running car for restoration.

2007 HONDA S2000 Registration Number: WM07 JAU Chassis Number: JHMAP11207S200009 Recorded Mileage: 8,660 miles - One private owner from new - Very low mileage, with full service history First shown as a concept car (named the SSM) at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show, the new S2000 was essentially Honda’s 50th birthday present to itself when launched to the public in 1999. The S2000 was named after its engine’s displacement, carrying on the tradition from the S500, S600 and S800 roadsters of the 1960s. The S2000 was noted for its high power output, at 124 hp per litre, it was the highest of any naturally aspirated engined car of its day. Several revisions were made through the model’s lifespan, which are broadly divided into the AP1 and AP2 variants. Production of the S2000 ended in 2009, since then becoming a modern classic, with prices on the rise for good examples. This bright low-mileage example was acquired by its first and only private owner in 2007, finished in New Formula Red with Black Leather seating. Driven sparingly in the intervening years, the S2000 has been maintained as required, and garage-kept when not in use. The last service was performed in 2022, the Honda having covered under 100 miles since. Cosmetically, the Honda would benefit from refurbishment of the alloy wheels and repainting of the front spoiler due to stonechips and a scuff to the front. Showing just over 8,600 miles recorded from new, and with an MoT certificate to August 2024, this is a wonderful driving modern sportscar which can be enjoyed the whole year around.
Lot 11
1965 FIAT 500F SALOON Registration Number: TEU 235C Chassis Number: 110F0954214 Recorded Mileage: 13,710 kilometres - Subject to older restoration - Offered with No Reserve Introduced in July 1957, the 'Nuova 500' was the original city car, with a clever monocoque bodyshell, independent suspension and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Engineered by Dante Giacosa, the newcomer utilised a different mechanical layout to its 'Topolino' predecessor. Its rear-mounted, air-cooled, two-cylinder OHV 479cc engine was a first for Fiat. Inheriting its larger 499.5cc unit from the short-lived 'Sport' variant, the 500 D debuted in 1960. With its rear-hinged 'suicide' doors and generous sunroof, the diminutive four-seater weighed in at a little over 500kgs. As such, it was able to extract a 60mph plus top speed from just 17.5bhp. These suicide door and crash-box variants are now thin on the ground and one of the more collectable Fiat 500 models. Between 1965 and 1969 the F carried the same badging as the D, but the two models are distinguishable by the positioning of their door hinges. The D has "suicide doors", the F (produced from June 1965) at last featured front-hinged doors. This 1965 500F has been in current ownership since the early 2000s, having been restored some years ago. Since being returned to the road the little Fiat has been seldom used in recent years, having been driven into its current garage and dry stored for some time. As such the car will now require recommissioning before use. A restored example of the popular Fiat 500, and we are sure will prove to be a hugely enjoyable addition to the garage. The Fiat is offered with No Reserve.

2002 FERRARI 360 MODENA F1 Registration Number: F1 ALD Chassis Number: ZFFYR51C000130696 Recorded Mileage: 44,000 miles - Full dealer/specialist service history - Offered with all books and tools Ferrari’s most successful model since the 308, the F355 was always going to be a tough act to follow. Its successor needed to be ground breaking and revolutionary; two words which, without doubt the 360 lived up to. Starting with a clean sheet of paper in designing the 360 Modena, the new car attracted superlatives that put even its illustrious predecessor in the shade. Just about the only item carried over from the F355 was its glorious V8 engine, enlarged from 3.5 to 3.6 litres for the 360, producing 400bhp. In every other respect the 360 was entirely new, the most striking break with Ferrari tradition being the body’s frontal treatment; gone was the omnipresent oval grille, replaced by two separate intakes set low into the front wings. A larger car than the F355, the 360 owed its radical new shape to the quest for increased downforce, generating four times as much as its predecessor yet achieving the impressively low Cd of 0.33. There was further innovation beneath the skin: a lighter, stiffer aluminium space frame monocoque replacing the old tubular steel arrangement, resulting in a dry weight around 220lbs less than that of the F355. The 360’s on-the-road dynamics constituted a significant advance, its best time around Ferrari’s Fiorano test track being some three seconds faster than the F355’s. Finished in the classic Ferrari colour scheme of Rosso Corsa with a cream leather interior, this 360 Modena F1 coupe was first registered in November 2002. Over the intervening years the 360 has been maintained either by Ferrari dealers or specialists, with services at 4,906 miles (Stratstone), 8,831 miles (Stratstone, inc. belts), 14,706 miles (Graypaul), 19,139 miles (Graypaul), 25,378 miles (Reeder, inc. belts and clutch), 27,822 miles (Reeder), 30,990 miles (Reeder), 31,957 miles (Reeder), 32,862 miles (Independent), 35,067 miles (Independent), 35,489 miles (Independent), 38253 (Independent), and 42,129 miles (Bob Houghton, inc. belts). We understand the Ferrari was formerly subject to an insurance claim (marked as a Category D) which the vendor believes was as a result of minor damage to the front bumper and wing, professionally repaired at the time. Very well maintained, this sensibly estimated Ferrari is offered with all books and leather wallet, receipts and original tools.
Lot 10
1937 FIAT TOPOLINO Registration Number: TBA Chassis Number: 516289 Recorded Mileage: 46,700 kilometres - In current ownership for over 25 years Better equipped than many cars twice its size, the FIAT 500, soon nicknamed ‘Topolino’ (Little Mouse), brought a degree of refinement hitherto unknown to small cars when launched in 1936. Lockheed hydraulic brakes, independent front suspension and 12-volt electrics were all features while an engine mounted ahead of the front axle helped maximise cabin space for the two occupants. The 569cc, four-cylinder, sidevalve motor produced a modest 13bhp, but as the Topolino weighed little more than half a ton, it could nevertheless manage a respectable 50mph-plus under favourable conditions. For most buyers though, the frugal (up-to-50mpg) fuel consumption would have been the major attraction. Nearly 520,000 were sold in total before its replacement (the ‘Cinquecento’) was introduced in 1957. This pretty example was first delivered in June 1937, and since the late 1990s joining an important British-based classic car collection, sitting alongside a number of classic Fiats and other exotic machinery. The Fiat was brought into the UK a number of years ago but has only been used on private roads, and as yet not road registered. Having been dry stored in recent times, the Fiat will require recommissioning and UK registration before being pressed into regular use once more. The Topolino is finished in an attractive shade of burgundy with black wings, contrasting tan trim, and is complete with original tools. A charming little motor car, which we are sure will provide many hours of fun and enjoyment in the coming summer months, this delightful ‘Little Mouse’ will be sold on a bill of sale with a Fiat Classiche Certificato Di Origine.
Lot 34
1968 BMW 2000 NEU KLASSE Registration Number: OKC 10F Chassis Number: 1225247 Recorded Mileage: 28,051 miles Launched in 1965, the larger-engined BMW 2000 was heralded by Autocar as ‘the best BMW yet’. Produced for 10 years from 1962, the New Class (Neue Klasse) models are credited with saving BMW after the company's financial crisis of the 1950s, and establishing the identity BMW as a maker of sporting saloon cars. The first New Class vehicle was the 1500, a 4-door compact executive car with BMW’s new overhead cam 4-cylinder engine. In 1965, the 2000 C and 2000 CS luxury coupés were added to the range. The new E9 coupes replaced the 2000C and CS coupes in 1969, whilst the four door variants were phased out due to the introduction of the E12 5-Series in 1972. This rare right-hand-drive example, one of around 40 remaining on UK roads, was first purchased at a Liverpool-based BMW agent in March 1968 for £1,900. After the first owner sadly fell ill, the BMW was garaged for years before being acquired and restored by the second owner, passing into long term family ownership, and then being acquired by the last private owner. We understand the BMW has previously been subject to a mechanical overhaul by marque specialists, including the automatic gearbox. The body shows some patina but presents well still, the two-tone burgundy and black leatherette trim remains in excellent condition, whilst older MoT certificates indicate the recorded mileage to be genuine. A very usable and rare car, this classic BMW makes a stylish classic which can be enjoyed all year round.
