1975 Ducati 350 Mark III Registration Number: GWM 84N Frame Number: DM350 S 359445 Early in 1968 Ducati introduced a range of models bearing the name "Scrambler", featuring a revised overhead cam engine design that quickly became known as the "widecase". The "Scrambler" models were eventually offered in four capacities, the 250 and 350 being joined by a 450 model and a 125cc version. The Scramblers were joined later in the year by two revised Mark 3 models, a 250 and 350. Regarded as the performance machine in the range, the 350 was fitted with a white/green camshaft and proved to be capable of 106mph. A 450cc Mark 3 joined the range in 1969. At this time the Mark 3's were fitted with a distinctive twin filler fuel tank and a headlamp mounted speedometer complimented by a separate tachometer, however, for 1970 the instrumentation changed to a separate speedometer and tachometer mounted on brackets in the same style as those employed by the "Desmo" singles. For 1971 the Mark 3 and "Desmo" ranges underwent considerable revisions that resulted in the style of the machines diverging. The "Desmos" adopted a fibreglass tank complimented by a racing style seat with a fibreglass hump and clip on handlebars accentuating its sporting characteristics while the Mark 3's adopted a new petrol tank, followed by a revised dual seat, side covers, instruments and headlight in 1972, reflecting the style of the 750 GT and establishing the machines final form. This Mark III was first registered in April 1975, being in the ownership of a private collector and enthusiast in recent times. Finished in a very 70s shade of orange with a black seat, this cool 350 has all of the looks of the Desmo, at a fraction of the price.

1979 Honda CB550 K4 Registration Number: YDT 419T Frame Number: 2023139 - Recently recommissioned - Offered with No Reserve The CB500 appeared in 1971, just as well specified as its larger CB750 brother, boasting an overhead-camshaft engine, five-speed gearbox, electric starter and disc front brake. The uprated CB550 offered the same blend of performance and civility when it first arrived in the USA in 1973. UK buyers had to wait another three years to sample it, by which time the model had been joined by the CB550F, with 4-into-1 exhaust and sportier styling. Bike magazine considered the CB550 "one of the better bikes to emerge from Honda's design team in recent years". The passage of time has, inevitably, transformed what was once a cutting-edge sports bike into an increasingly collectible classic. First registered in February 1979, this CB550 has recently been subject to various recommissioning works. The carburettors have been professionally vapour-cleaned by specialist Llandow tuning, and fitted with new jets, needles and seals. To improve starting a new battery, points and condenser have been added, as has a new air filter. Finally, the bike has been fitted with new wheels, tyres and front brake caliper. The CB550 shows 54,000 miles recorded, is clean and tidy, and said to run well. Offered with No Reserve to the highest bidder on the day.
1995 Yamaha XV535 Virago Registration Number: N448 JTC Frame Number: TBA - Offered at No Reserve - No keys, V5C to be applied for The Yamaha Virago 535 (code name XV535) was originally introduced in 1988 as an all-new, smaller, more entry-level, novice-friendly cruiser little brother to Yamaha’s XV750 (introduced 1981) and XV1100 (introduced 1986). All were purpose-built, air-cooled, 70-75-degree shaft drive V-twins, and as such were arguably Japan’s first credible cruiser rivals to the likes of Harley-Davidson. With pleasant, timeless styling, light, unintimidating proportions, surprisingly able handling and an absolute gem of an engine, the 535 became the ‘go to’ first big bike for a generation of riders who wanted the easy manners of a cruiser. This Virago comes from a local deceased estate, having been garage-stored in recent years. The bike shows c.7,000 miles recorded, and having been off the road since 2019, will no doubt require some recommissioning before being used once more. This no reserve bike is offered without keys, and a V5C will need to be applied for.
1975 Kawasaki KE100 Registration Number: See description Frame Number: 079041 Produced by Kawasaki from 1976 to 2001, the KE100 was a direct successor to the G5, the major changes being different ergonomics and a change in transmission layout. The KE100 did not change much through the years, although minor changes were made to the engine and transmission over successive model years, also a switch to different tanks after the B4 model. First registered to Heber City, Utah, on 1st January 1976, this KE100 later found its way to New Mexico before traveling over to the UK around 10 years ago. With 2,500 miles recorded, the bike is sold with older US title document, warranty card and 2013 UK customs papers.
1951 Reliant Girderfork Van Registration Number: WXS 199 Frame Number: TBA More famous for its two-wheel products, Raleigh experimented with cars into the 1920s, announcing its first car in 1933. The Raleigh Safety Seven tricycle deployed one wheel at the front and two at the back, to allowed more passenger space than the Morgan three-wheeler. An air-cooled 742cc v-twin provided the power, mated to a three speeds gearbox (with reverse), and shaft drive to the rear axle. Up front the single wheel was steered via a motorcycle-type “girder fork”. When the Safety Seven ceased production in 1936, designer Tom Williams set up Reliant Engineering to continue production in van form. Motorcycle power units were soon abandoned in favour of the four-cylinder Austin Seven engine, production and development of the latter being taken over by Reliant in 1939. First registered in March 1951, and with the registration number WXS 199, this “long wheel base” (!) example is said to run and drive under its own steam, with, according to the vendor, “747cc of pure power!”. A fun commercial and a rare sight on the roads today.
1949 Velocette MAC 350 Registration Number: KFM 620 Frame Number: 7877 - Comprehensively Restored - Recent engine rebuild In classic motorcycle terms, the name Velocette means quality. Though not quite in Vincent territory, Velocettes have always stood for traditional build quality and longevity. Clients would always know what they were buying with a Velo. Innovators in design, Velocette developed the first foot shift gearbox in 1928, and also the first swinging arm rear suspension 1936 race bikes. The firm was also early in adopting a telescopic front fork (in 1948) using Dowty hydraulic/pneumatic spring/damping, and in 1951 fitting iron-lined aluminium cylinders. The firm is famous the world over, for its 500cc sports bikes and a string of TT wins also the Manx Grand Prix in 1930, but also catering for more modest pockets with their pretty 350 singles. Surprisingly torquey and lacking in vibration, the Phil Irving-designed frame gives a safe and pleasant ride. The Velocette MAC is powered by a 349cc air cooled OHV 4 stroke single 68mm x 96mm engine developing, 15hp and a respectable top speed of 78mph. This excellent restored example has the benefit of a recent full engine rebuild. The vendor, a motorcycle engineer, tells us the bike runs extremely well and is a pleasure to ride.
1966 BSA C15P 250 Single Police Registration Number: HDG 82D Frame Number:C15 PG 335 The 250cc C15 was launched in September 1958, running to 1967 and becoming BSA's first four-stroke unit-construction bike. A Sports version was added in 1961, in addition to off-road versions for Trials and Scrambling. With a lowish power output of 15 bhp, the C15 competed with the more sophisticated Japanese motorcycles (such as Honda’s C71 and CB72) which began arriving in the UK in the 1960s, ultimately losing that battle. Originally registered by the Gloucester Constabulary on 12th August 1966, it is understood that the C15P had its police equipment fitted from new, later removed after decommissioning. The present owner added the BSA to his collection in 2015, and understand the engine and gearbox were rebuilt around three years prior to his purchase. Offered with its original green registration document, this ex-Police bike bike makes a fine period piece.
1961 BSA C15 250cc Registration Number: RYM 631E Frame Number: C15G1149 Launched in September 1958 and running until 1967, the C15 was BSA’s 250cc single-cylinder OHV motorcycle offering, and the firm’s first four-stroke unit-construction bike. For most of that period, after the introduction of 'Learner Laws' in 1961, a 250cc was the largest capacity solo machine that a learner could ride unaccompanied when displaying L-plates in the UK. A road-going sports derivative was added in 1961, and off-road versions, for Trials and Scrambling, were also available in the range. First registered 15/05/1967, we understand this C15 has had just four previous owners from new, is matching numbers, and in very good order. The bike has been converted to a 12 volt electrical system, and now runs on a Japanese carburettor. A great looking example and we feel a good candidate for cost effective classic biking. The BSA is offered with logbook.
1966 Raleigh Runabout Registration Number: HUO 39D Frame Number: 3R1418 Raleigh, Britain's best known and longest surviving bicycle manufacture, also made motorcycles from 1905 into the 1930s. More recently , the Nottingham company offered a range of mopeds, plus a scooter in the late 1950/1960s. The majority of the moped range were built under licence Motobecane Mobylettes. The first of the latter was the RM4 Automatic, produced in 1961, while Raleigh first applied the Runabout name to the RM6 which was built in various versions from May 1963 until February 1971, when production of Raleigh mopeds ceased. This machine is completely original and unrestored, largely assisted no doubt by spending over 40 years on display in a butcher's shop window, of all places. With a drop of fresh fuel, the engine sprung into life and we understand runs nicely. The bike is sold on a bill of sale with a copy of older tax discs, but without V5C.
1958 Velocette Venom Registration Number: KVS 156 Frame Number: 9816 - Lovely ‘Clubman ‘ styling In 1955 Velocette introduced the Venom alongside the 350cc Viper in direct competition with the popular British twins. The engine, designed by Charles Udall, featured an alloy cylinder head and high compression piston giving a claimed top speed of 100 mph. This was also the first British bike to use fibreglass enclosure panels for ease of cleaning and access. The suspension has a novel and efficient method of adjustment through the use of an outside adjustable arc. The Venom established itself as the the flagship model of Velocette with a total of 5,700 models produced between 1951 and 1970. The Venom featured today is in super condition. Finished in black with gold pinstripes, the bike pays homage to Velocette’s legendary standard of chrome plating. In addition the Venom has the bonus of ‘Clubman’ styling in the form of twin dials, dropped handlebars and rear sets. Given the limited production and the presentation of this example, we are confident this will be a very worthy addition to any collection. Due to storage in recent ownership, some light recommissioning will required prior to use
1929 Royal Enfield Model 350 Registration Number: TT 4093 Frame Number: 19168 Royal Enfield built its first powered vehicles - De Dion-engined tricycles and quadricycles - in the closing years of the 19th Century, followed by its first motorcycle from 1900. The first 2¾hp (350cc) Enfield appeared in 1924 in overhead-valve and sidevalve versions, both of which used engines supplied by J A Prestwich. The JAP engine gave way to one of Royal Enfield's own manufacture for 1925, at which time the three-speed Sturmey Archer gearbox was standardised. The big Royal Enfield was the firm’s premium model of the Vintage era, and a beautifully built machine. This smart 350cc side valve Royal Enfield was comprehensively restored by our vendor approximately 30 years ago, with new engine internals including crank, piston and cams. Initially given an age-related registration, the bike subsequently regained its original and desirable ‘TT’ registration. In regular use ever since, the 350 has successfully completed many VMCC events, including the Banbury Run where it won the Ivor Mutton (best Royal Enfield) Award in 2013 and 2014. The bike was awarded a Highly Commended rosette at a Bristol Show, and featured in Classic Motorcycle magazine in July 2007. Described our vendor as a “tidy, reliable and nippy machine in full working order”, could you possibly ask for more?
1963 Greeves Silverstone Race Bike Registration Number: N/A Frame Number: TBA - Restored competition machine The first Greeves Silverstone clubman racer was a converted scramble machine by rider Reg Everett. In the 1963 race season, the production bike used a modified 24MDS frame, narrowed at the rear and powered by a Villiers 36A engine, fitted with a Greeves head and barrel. An Amal GP carburettor and expansion chamber were installed. The result was a nifty engine that produced 31bhp @ 7,400bhp The bikes were built through versions RA5 to RE5 until 1967. The Greeves Silverstone was the training ground for many aspiring famous racers and was the preferred mount for the famous Chas Mortimer School of Racing. This 1963 model uses the MDS frame and the Villiers 36A engine, which has been tuned and previously fitted to a competitive race kart. The engine has been rebuilt, though will require recommissioning. All in an interesting bike, ideal for shows, club events or just for fun.
1935 Triumph 2/1 250 OHV Twin Port Registration Number: BHT 458 Frame Number: IR5 1470 - In current ownership since 1978 One of the first single-cylinder models designed by Val Page on joining Triumph, the 2/1 was designed to be a simple entry level machine, but in fact proved to be expensive to produce. In terms of naming, the first number relates to the capacity, the second number is the model number in the range. So 2/1 is the first model in the 250 range (whereas the 2/5 was the top of the range). The Model 2/1's engine was excellent, but as it shared much else with the 350cc range, although robust it was deemed a little on the heavy side at the time. The 2/1 was fitted with 6 volt electrics and Magdyno lighting, and an electric horn. The 3 speed gearbox could be upgraded to 4 speed for an extra 30 shillings. The model survived until the first of the new Tigers came out in 1937. First registered in March 1935 to the Bristol area of England, this 2/1 has remained in the area ever since, being in the current owner’s collection since 1978. The bike is complete and in the main original, with the exception of the oil pressure indicator. The engine (SL1936) and gearbox (L277) are believed to be original. Offered for the first time in over 45 years, this lovely machine is recorded on the VMCC register, the 2/1 is offered with a file of information and receipts.
1935 Francis Barnet Cruiser Registration Number: CHK 592 Frame Number: EB 30844 - In current private ownership since 2008 Setting up shop in the old Excelsior works in Coventry, Gordon Francis and Arthur Barnett founded Francis-Barnett in 1919, soon adapting to market conditions to produce more utilitarian models during the 1920s. The first of these was the triangulated, pin-jointed, straight-tube frame models of 1923. Experience in the production of pressed-steel car components resulted in yet another innovative model the following decade, the partially enclosed Cruiser from 1933 to 1940. The frame combined a forged ‘downtube’ beam with channel-section pressings and pressed-steel bladed forks, while other notable features included built-in leg shields, deeply valanced mudguards, and detachable engine/gearbox covers. Although of modest performance, the Cruiser offered touring at a relaxed pace, and in style. This Cruiser was first registered in May 1935, to be owned from the early 1980s by scientist Ian Rainy Calder, until passing to the current recorded owner in 2008. Dry stored in recent times, the Cruiser is offered with current and older registration documents.
1973 Triumph T100R Daytona Registration Number: SBF 189L Frame Number: DH31196 - Matching numbers example The T100T variant of the Tiger was named in honour of and benefited from the company's success in the 500cc class at Daytona in 1966. It represented the ultimate development of the unit construction 500cc Triumph, first seen in 1959 with the 5TA. The 5TA was joined by the more sporting T100A, with better performance due to higher compression pistons and a revised camshaft profile. The sporting Tiger 100 would be subject to a number of changes and revisions during the following years, usually accompanied by an increase in performance that culminated in the introduction of the Daytona in 1967. The model code was changed to T100R for the 1971 season. When MCN tested one they managed 111 mph and 64 miles to the gallon! Revisions to the standard T100 engine which enabled these figures to be achieved included the use of a 9:1 compression ratio, splayed inlets for the twin carburettors and Bonneville profile camshafts. This T100R Daytona is a 1973 Export model, repatriated from Florida in 1994, and since then UK Registered. This Daytona has been fitted with Amal Premium carburetors (ethanol resistant) and new clutch friction plates, also a TLS front brake. The tyres are in good order, the only fault recorded is fault indicators. A matching numbers bike, this clean and tidy example is ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.
1956 BSA B31 Registration Number: 743 XWA Frame Number: TBA A fresh design for the post-war period rather than an updated pre-war design, BSA’s new B31 was announced in August 1945, pitched as a thoroughly modern interpretation of the traditional sporting middleweight single, with telescopic forks and a four speed gearbox. Endowed with good performance (up to 70 mph on 73 octane pool petrol), the B31 quickly established itself in the market and would sire a range of increasingly glamorous models culminating in the post war Goldies. The overhead valve engine featured an iron top end and a separate pushrod tunnel. 1948 saw a change of livery with the silver tank panels giving way to green lined with gold and a new, stronger rigid frame was adopted. The next significant change occurred as the forties drew to a close with the option of a plunger frame. Later the pivoted fork frame, first seen on the Gold Stars, became available for the B31. The B 31's punchy 'iron' engine had the bore and stroke of the 350 'Goldie' and looked exactly like it to most people, but also had plenty of reliable power and a feeling of durable solidity allied to splendid handling This example has been subject to mechanical refurbishment in recent times. The engine was stripped and rebuilt with oversized bores (now to 415cc), new bearings, larger inlet ports, and Gold Star cams. The dynamo was overhauled and converted to 12 volts. The brakes have been treated to new shoes at the front. The forks feature two-way damping, and new seals, the wheels are alloy-type rims fitted with new tyres, and driven via new chains. Finished in Gold Star cafe racer trim, this B31 is a highly usable bike featuring some useful upgrades.
1936 Triumph 2/1 250 OHV Single Port Registration Number: ATG 167 Frame Number: SL3603 - In current ownership since 1987 - Previously owned by ex-TT racer Ernie ‘Les’ Griffiths One of the first single-cylinder models designed by Val Page on joining Triumph, the 2/1 was designed to be a simple entry level machine, but in fact proved to be expensive to produce. In terms of naming, the first number relates to the capacity, the second number is the model number in the range. So 2/1 is the first model in the 250 range (whereas the 2/5 was the top of the range). The Model 2/1's engine was excellent, but as it shared much else with the 350cc range, although robust it was deemed a little on the heavy side at the time. The 2/1 was fitted with 6 volt electrics and Magdyno lighting, and an electric horn. The primary drive was enclosed in an aluminium oil bath. The 3 speed gearbox could be upgraded to 4 speed for an extra 30 shillings. The model survived until the first of the new Tigers came out in 1937. First registered on 13th January 1936, this 2/1 Single Port was previously owned by Ernie ‘Les’ Griffiths, who competed in the Isle of Man TT races in the 1960s (coming 5th and 3rd in the 1967 and 1968 ultra lightweight ‘50cc’ category respectively). The Triumph has been in current ownership since 1987 (with 5 owners in total), and retains its original engine (IR6 2527) and gearbox (L6.1566). This fine machine is recorded on the VMCC register, and is supplied with original buff registration document, also a file of information and parts receipts.
1959 Royal Enfield 350cc Bullet Registration Number: 318 SNO Frame Number: 44112 Royal Enfield’s Bullet is one of the world’s longest-lasting designs, introduced in 1949 and, following the end of Royal Enfield, still in production in Madras with modern versions imported to the UK. Made in both 350 and 500 versions, the Redditch-built ‘Bullet’ remains a favourite in the classic biking world. This Redditch-made example was first registered in November 1959, making it one of the last of the original line of this model. The owner tells us this Bullet has recently been serviced with new bottom engine plates and realigned forks. A fuss-free classic, this nicely maintained classic bike is offered with current V5C and older continuation logbook.
Sheaffer Flattop Lifetime pens from the 1920's. Sheaffer was the first of the big four to introduce celluloid pens using rod stock from Dupont, calling the material "Radite". The lot consists of an oversize Flattop model in Black and Pearl, standard size set in Black and Pearl with initials on the cap band and pencil top, standard size pen in Black, ring top model in Jade and an oversize pencil in Jade. Overall good condition with some overall wear, all nibs are intact, Jade pencil has a ding to crown.

This set has bright colour and trim. The single fountain pen is a Green Oyster Pearl and Black shown in the 1937 catalog. A late series colour with bright green hues on black, it has a medium marked Eversharp 14k Flexible nib and shows some general wear throughout. Overall excellent condition on the set and fair on the single pen.
Aurora Pope John Paul II limited edition fountain pen, new in original box, with ink bottle, box, outer box and cardboard outer box protector. The fountain pen is made in travertine Auroloide, representing the St. Peter columns, and a vermeil cap. The pen was made made in a limited edition of 1919 (1202/1919), produced in 2003 and comes with a 18k medium nib. The cap is engraved with the Pope’s coat of arms, an eagle, the first symbol known to have been used as an emblem by Pope Innocent III, and the cross with the letter M, which stands for Mary, symbolizing the Pope elected in 1978. Overall near mint, the pen and ink bottle are unused, the box and outer box show slight wear with one small break to the outer cardboard box and some rubbing to the plain cardboard outer box protector.
Parker Vacumatic double jewel Major in Burgundy Pearl. This clip/band combination first appeared in 1937 along with the change to the metal Speedline filler. The Burgundy Pearl on this pen is offset with beautiful matching striped end jewels and section. Overall fair condition with heavy wear to feed and a slightly later fine nib.
Conklin Endura and Symetrik oversized model fountain pens in Black and Bronze (2). Conklin’s first celluloid pen was the Endura with a rocker clip in a flattop style from the late 1920’s, they later moved to a streamlined Symetrik model pen. Both pens are in Black and Bronze marble with large Conklin nibs. Overall fair to good with some discolouration to the Endura pen, small name engraving present.
Waterman Patrician lot (2). The Patrician was Waterman's first foray into celluloid pens, the last of the "big four"(Waterman, Wahl Eversharp, Sheaffer and Parker), to make the jump from hard rubber or vulcanite to celluloid. These pens are known for their bright colours and Art Deco elements. The lot consists of a Turquoise marble with some wear throughout along with a Jet with a hard rubber barrel and celluloid cap. Overall fair condition, both with trim wear and general wear throughout. Both pens have original Patrician 14k extra fine semi flexible nibs and original feeds.
Parker Vacumatic 1st year Maxima set in Golden Pearl.

The Slender Maxima has a wide deco band like that of the Senior Maxima but was the same girth as a Major. In 1937 the Senior Maxima and Slender Maxima (which was referred to as just Maxima in the catalog) were the same price at $10 and today we see far less Slender Maxima pens than their larger Senior counterparts. Overall fair to good condition with some wear to the clips and some heavier wear to the pencil, the pen has an extra fine 14k two tone nib and both pieces have matching striped end jewels.
Waterman Man 200 gold filled Night & Day fountain pen with box, outer box and papers. The Night and Day pattern first appeared on Waterman's black hard rubber pens during the first part of the 20th century, Waterman brought this pattern back on their Le Man series pens for a classic look. Overall near mint condition, the pen appears to be uninked with an 18k extra fine Waterman's nib. The outer box also has its original sticker.
Parker Vacumatic Standard set in Green Pearl. This was the first generation of the Vacumatic line of pens. It has a three banded cap and striped double jewel design with a lockdown filler unit.

Pen was water tested and filled at time of listing.
Waterman Ideal model 58 lever fill Red Ripple fountain pen. The Ripple pattern appears to have first launched in the Waterman Pen Prophet magazine in 1926. Waterman was competing with Sheaffer and Parker's celluloid made pens and first introduced the Ripple-Rubber model in an orange/red and black mixed pattern. Later Waterman made it in three additional colours, (Olive, Blue/Green and Rose). The 58 model was the largest size Ripple made and therefore prized by collectors. Overall fair condition given some faults. There is one small area of brassing to the cap band, a small hairline to the base of the nib on the left hand side, one small pit to the rubber on the upper cap and a repaired area to the barrel threads. Otherwise the imprints on the pen are crisp, with bright colour throughout and an extra fine flexible nib.

Overall near mint condition with just one small nick along the top edge, the pen appears to be unused and has its original converter.
Montblanc Leo Tolstoy fountain pen in sterling with blue without box and papers. This pen was limited to 9000 pens (1687/9000). The dark grey precious resin cap, blue marbled resin cone and platinum plated fittings mirror the colours found on the covers of Tolstoy’s first major works. The ornament on the cap ring is inspired by a traditional woven Russian pattern that would have adorned the modest peasant smocks Tolstoy made for himself. The author’s signature is engraved on the cap while the family’s aristocratic coat-of-arms is featured on the rhodium-plated 750 solid gold medium nib of the fountain pen. Overall near mint condition.

Surely one of the most desirable Evolutions to ever come to market? An unrepeatable mileage of just 794 and Richard Burns ownership provenance. Fully recommissioned by marque experts at a cost of £16,500. Absolutely immaculate. Mitsubishi had enjoyed much success in rallying all around the world since 1973 with their Gallant, Lancer and Starion, however in 1992, the decision was made to fully commit to winning the World Rally Championship (WRC). Utilising the best of the technologies established through previous years, including their much-refined four-wheel drive S-AWC system (Super-All Wheel Control), the Lancer GSR Evolution model series was launched. True to its name, the series has undergone an ongoing evolution process ever since its introduction with improvements in engine performance and handling leading to the Evolution II in 1993 and the Evolution III in 1995.Following the introduction of the new Lancer road car model which debuted major improvements in styling and performance, the Lancer GSR Evolution IV was launched in 1996, boasting more power and ever more innovative technology including their new AYC (Active Yaw Control) adaptive handling enhancement system.The Evolution V continued the process with a further increase in engine torque and substantially improved handling thanks to a wider track and upgraded Brembo braking. Its 2-litre, DOHC, intercooler-turbocharged, four-cylinder engine now used an upgraded intercooler, enlarged nozzle area in the twin-scroll turbocharger, lighter pistons, an upgraded radiator and oil-cooler to produce 280bhp. Launched in January 1998 and produced for only a year, the Lancer Evolution V took up the motorsport mantle, at least in terms of the WRC. A new ruling allowing a bigger body gave Mitsubishi the opportunity to extend the previous model’s platform, increasing brake and wheel size, adding 10mm to its track and displaying, for the first time, flared arches and much more aggressive styling.It’s now widely accepted that finding credible examples of the Evolution V is becoming increasingly hard, so the car presented here represents a remarkable opportunity. This 1998 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR Evolution V, S500 TMR, is a UK-market car finished in Pyrenean Black and was intriguingly either given or sold to Richard Burns by Mitsubishi Motors in late 1998. Richard Burns is quite rightly considered a motorsport legend, a driver of great talent, whose life was sadly cut short in his prime at the age of just 34. He was undoubtedly worth more than his sole WRC title, but he played his part in Mitsubishi winning the Constructors Title in 1998 alongside his co-diver, Robert Reid, and we understand that S500 TMR was a reward for his efforts. As history tells us, Richard then signed for Subaru in 1999 and naturally couldn’t be seen driving an Evolution, however this car clearly meant a lot to him as he resisted the temptation to sell it and added it to his personal Collection.Over the years, the Burns family and their associates put together the Richard Burns Collection and S500 TMR was a prominent part of this for many years. Our car-enthusiast vendor acquired the car from Jo Burns (Richard’s sister) in February 2020 with a recorded 789 miles on the clock – no, that's not a typo! He then sent it to marque specialists, Auto Torque Ltd. of Buckinghamshire, for a complete underbody recommission (as the car had suffered from being in storage for so long). This work was exceptional, carried out to OEM-spec at a cost of £16,500, and photos within the car’s history file detail the exacting lengths to which they went.This work was finished in May 2021 and the car has since been cossetted in a special facility as part of our vendor’s Collection, still with just 794 miles indicated.This is a very exciting opportunity to acquire a car with unique provenance that makes this particular example 'one of a kind'. In remarkable condition and with only a handful of miles covered, this rally-car-for-the-road holds a special appeal for collectors, motorsport fans and Japanese performance car enthusiasts alike – 'special' just doesn’t come close, you will not be disappointed.Accompanying the car are an extract from Richard Burns' book mentioning the Evo V, an Auto Torque invoice (for recommissioning work), an original dealer hangar from Motorworld Oxford, an extract from the Oxford Mail in Feb 1999, the V5C in Richard Burns’ name, an article from the Mitsubishi Owners Club magazine featuring the car and its backstory and an invoice from Jo Burns. There is also a memory stick of photographs, original Mitsubishi manuals and books, plus an RB-branded baseball cap from the Richard Burns clothing line that was found in the glovebox.Absolutely unrepeatable and worthy of your close inspection.Specification Make: MITSUBISHI Model: LANCER GSR EVOLUTION V Year: 1998 Chassis Number: CP9A0007694 Registration Number: S500 TMR Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 4G63XR0914 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 794 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images
**We now understand from the vehicle's second owner that she purchased it in 2009 and subsequently used it in Scotland and later in Spain. It was sold to a dealer in Spain and it then returned to the UK in 2021.**Superbly presented Defender 90, originally part of the late Queen Elizabeth II's Sandringham Estate and, latterly, fastidiously cared for by its second owner. The humble Land Rover Defender is one of life's great classless cars, being favoured by all walks of life looking for a reliable go-anywhere, do-anything vehicle. From Royalty to land workers, from Kensington to the Kyle of Lochalsh, you’ll be sure to find a Defender working away exactly as Solihull’s engineers designed it to do.Powered by a plethora of petrol and turbocharged diesel engines and boasting all wheel-drive, low and high-range gearing, advanced suspension setups and a seemingly endless list of both factory and aftermarket customisation options, the Defender is rightfully referred to as the king of all production off-road vehicles, and remains both a design icon and a landmark part of automotive history to this day.For 2007, the Defender benefitted from a serious revamp with a new common-rail diesel EU4-compliant engine from the Ford Transit, a new 6-speed gearbox, new fascia, new seats and a heating and ventilation system that actually works.Offered in the rather exclusive combination of Galway Green with a black cloth interior, this lovely Defender 90 County spent the first 18 months of its life on the late Queen's beloved Sandringham Estate. When it returned to Land Rover Vehicle Operations at Gaydon in 2010, it had only covered only 679 miles. It was subsequently sold through Harwoods Land Rover to its second owner who naturally was aware of its past life on the 20,000 acre Sandringham Estate. Judging by its current condition and mileage, one would assume it never took part in any general duties and was part of a very exclusive stable.This lovely Land Rover County has now only covered 41,725 miles and comes with an MOT until July 2024 with no advisories. The service book shows five services mostly completed by main dealers and a history file that contains numerous previous MOTs.As 'evergreen' as ever, these defining Defender 90 Counties still have the ability to blend into any occasion and with its past history would be welcome anywhere.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: DEFENDER 90Year: 2008Chassis Number: SALLDVBS79A769131Registration Number: BN58 RWLTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 080818133204244DT Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 41725 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black ClothClick here for more details and images
From the 'DJH Ford Collection', an original, unused/uninstalled factory bench-tested RS500 engine; 'automotive art' or as a spare, either way it's magnificent. The Sierra RS Cosworth might have been the first Ford to be honoured with the Cosworth name, but the relationship between the two companies dates back to the 1960s when the American car producer funded the development of a 3-litre V8 engine for Lotus' F1 car. The resulting V8, known as the DFV, then went on to be a dominant engine in Formula 1 for over a decade, winning 155 Grand Prix.Despite reigning supreme on track and in rallying throughout the decade, by the end of the 1970s, Ford’s motorsport dominance was on the wane. Even the once all-conquering Ford-Cosworth DFV Formula 1 was starting to lose out to more modern turbocharged units. This was painfully obvious when a Ford VIP contingent visited the 1983 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, where a Touring Car race supported the main event and Ford bosses, Stuart Turner and Walter Hayes, were dismayed to witness a group of Capris being humbled by SD1s with Rover V8 power.The solution was again to be found with the engineers at Cosworth who had previously developed a four-cylinder engine for Ford's racing and rallying saloons in the late 1960s and 1970s. The Mk1 Escort RS1600, which replaced the Lotus-powered Twin Cam Escort, had a 1,600cc engine with a 16-valve head designed by Cosworth called the 'BDA'.The formula for the Sierra wasn’t dissimilar to that of the earlier homologation Escorts and Cosworth and the trusted cast iron block from Ford’s single-overhead cam, the T88 Pinto that was used in the Escort RS2000, was utilised to form the basis of this new engine. Code named 'YAA', Cosworth designed an aluminium head to suit the Pinto block with two belt-driven cams operating 16 valves; eight 35mm diameter inlet valves and eight 31mm exhaust. Compared with the basic Pinto, almost everything changed except for the cylinder block itself and the new head and valve gear were matched to a new steel crankshaft, rods, pistons, and sump, and hydraulic valve lifters were a given. A turbocharger was always part of the plan and a Garrett AiResearch T3 with an intercooler were selected boosting power to 201bhp at 6,000rpm and 205lb/ft at 4,500rpm, in road car spec.With a new facility to produce the production-ready version (now with the 'YB' prefix), the first prototype started test-bed work in Northampton in June 1984 although the first engines and test cars didn’t go to Weber-Marelli in Italy until September 1984 before subsequently being 'signed off' by mid-1985.First utilised in the 3-door Sierra RS Cosworth of 1986 - introduced for homologation to allow Ford to go 'Group A' Touring Car racing - the new production 1,993cc YBB engine proved to be legendary, both on road and track. When the ruling allowed for an 'evolution' upgraded model to compete, spawning the RS500 Cosworth, the YB engine stepped-up too, the grateful recipient of further development.To cope with the requisite extra horsepower required, the original YBB motor was switched to an uprated 'YBD' unit which featured a reinforced block (still cast-iron) with thicker walls (note, there are two main types of YB block - known as the 205 and the 200, the latter is a thicker-wall design and was found in 4 x 4 versions, such as the Escort and 1990 Sapphire; the RS500 block was also a thick-wall design but stamped 205, recognisable by its smaller core plugs). Other differences included a bigger Garrett AiResearch T04 turbo plus a larger air-to-air intercooler, pressurised oil-cooled pistons, uprated oil, water and fuel pumps and beefier (orange) air hoses for the radiator and turbo, and a re-mapped ECU.Ford pushed the limit of the Homologation rules to the maximum for the RS500 and the road car featured components that weren’t at all functional but allowed legal modifications on the race cars. The RS500's Cosworth YB engine had an inactive secondary injection system fitted so, when activated on the race cars, their engines could swallow greater amounts of fuel and produce more power (with a different engine map and the second injectors squirting fuel, race RS500s made an 'easy' 485bhp and it didn’t take much more before the engine was putting out 525bhp).In addition, the YBD’s induction system was reconfigured with a bigger intake plenum which, along with a new secondary fuel rail, required one corner of the battery tray be cut away for installation, and a slightly different thermostat housing and alternator bracket. On the road cars, the RS500's power rating went from 201bhp to 224bhp at an unchanged 6,000rpm. Peak torque was the same as the regular Sierra RS Cosworth: 204lb/ft at 4,500rpm.Although undoubtedly successful before, the Ford Sierra became really dominant when the RS500 took to the circuit, winning the 1988 DTM championship, the 1989 Spa 24 Hours, the 1988 and 1989 Bathurst 1,000km, the 1988 and 1989 Australian Touring Car Championship, the 1988 and 1989 Japanese Touring Car Championship and the 1990 British Touring Car Championship.The engine presented here is a Cosworth factory, bench-tested YBD unit, #YBD 0626, designed and built for an RS500 road car. Tested and signed off by Cosworth, confirmed by a tag, it's understood to be one of the very last YBD engines to leave the factory. We understand that it has always been complete (i.e. never as separate components), has never been apart, rebuilt nor ever installed into a car, being sat on its plinth since manufacture. All the factory elements appear to be present and correct, the stampings included, even down to the original FRAM oil filter!Meticulously kept - in pride of place even - alongside his two RS500 cars, it has been owned by our vendor for last 14 years. He sourced it from an ex-pat Ford aficionado living in Malta who had acquired it previously in the UK (some 6 years before). Rumour has it that only a handful of unused YBD engines still exist.For the serious collector or enthusiast, this 'jewel' of an engine is supplied with a bespoke glass display case and is now ready to be appreciated by its next custodian; what an opportunity.N.B. Please note this lot will be sold with a buyers premium of 20% plus VAT as per our usual memorabilia terms.Click here for more details and images
Converted by Overfinch when new to 570 S and Stage II handling specification and a year later upgraded to fuel injection. Still in factory colours, it was refurbished at a cost of c.£35,000. The rebuilt engine produces some 400bhp and the history file is a delight. Designed by Spencer King, the original 1970 Range Rover was a masterstroke of understated elegance and remained in production virtually unaltered for 25 years. Originally powered by Rover’s lightweight all-alloy 3.5-litre V8 engine detuned to 135bhp, the ultimate off-road/on-road vehicle, its clever suspension managed to combine a three tonne towing ability, a huge range of articulation off-road and limousine comfort on A and B roads. By the mid-1980s, and hugely popular amongst a new class of buyer, the Range Rover’s interior was still somewhat behind that found in the contemporary Austin Montego at half the price. Interior refinements were added incrementally and it is perhaps astonishing that a leather interior was only first introduced as an option in 1988! By the 1990s however, it was clear that the smart money, both old and new, saw the Range Rover as a dual-purpose, luxury motorcar.Although the 1988 Range Rover was now offered with the 3.9 EFi V8 engine, a few very wealthy enthusiasts looked to Overfinch of Ascot for further enhancement. So, having paid some £25,000 for his brand new Caspian Blue Vogue with Winchester Grey leather interior by Connolly, a Mr Sirl of Kensington accepted the Overfinch quote of £21,000 for the full works. A new Chevrolet 570S V8 was installed and mated to a GM 700 4-speed automatic transmission and Overfinch T2 FF transfer box. The Stage II handling pack upgraded both front and rear suspension and ventilated brakes were installed. An additional 6-gallon fuel tank was also fitted, which probably came in handy.Cosmetically, subtle vent covers and badging were added and the leather Momo Overfinch steering wheel came at cost of £185! First registered on 3rd March 1989, the car returned to the Overfinch workshops for a full conversion to fuel-injection in February 1990 and, amongst other works, a Ferrari-style instrument binnacle was installed, the bill coming to some £13,000. With around £60,000 spent during the first year of ownership, we must draw comparisons with this astonishing amount to the launch-price of the Ferrari Testarossa at just a few thousand more! The accompanying service book lists periodic services and the car’s recent refurbishment was not only necessary to correct the usual Range Rover issues, but brought the car roaring into the 21st century.When the preceding owner purchased the car, it entered into a near six-year strip down, rebuild, improvement and restoration programme costing some £35,000, with work carried out by the likes of Jule Motors and renowned Range Rover restorer, Kingsley Cars. The Caspian Blue paintwork was refreshed and the recently rebuilt engine is capable of some 400bhp. The detailed history file is a joy to read including, as it does, the original Overfinch order forms, brochures, service book and numerous bills for maintenance works, most recently commissioned by our vendor. It is noted in the file that the odometer reading was somehow reduced by 10,000 miles between 2016 and 2023, and the vendor informs us that the true mileage is probably nearer 47,000 miles.N.B.

UK-supplied P1 with just three owners and 22,768 miles from new. In outstanding condition and delightfully standard, the lowest mileage example of this JDM 'Royal Family' member that we have ever offered. Built at Subaru's Fuji Heavy Industries plant in Japan and honed by rally 'royalty', Prodrive, the Impreza P1 was always destined to become the hugely desirable modern classic that we rightfully see it as today. Built in a limited run of just 1,000 cars, every one featured the iconic Blue Mica paintwork, Anthracite 17" OZ racing wheels and a plethora of upgrades and unique features. It's easy to see why the P1 has gained such a cult following.Based on the two-door bodyshell, with the aerodynamics enhanced by Peter Stevens of McLaren F1 fame, beefier running gear and a fabulous suspension setup by Prodrive, the P1 has more in common with the legendary Impreza 22B than its larger four-door Impreza WRX contemporaries. Developed with British B-Roads in mind, by the very same company which helped the likes of Colin McRae, Richard Burns and Petter Solberg win World Rally Championships, the 'Prodrive One' was intended to counter the wave of 'grey import' STI Type Rs coming from Japan.The upgrades to the P1 were extensive but not intrusive. The list includes a more powerful 280bhp engine (up 69bhp from a standard Impreza Turbo) mated to a 5-speed manual transmission with longer gearing and ABS brakes meaning the difference between a standard Impreza and a P1 is minimal. Further upgrades include a big-bore exhaust, quick-shift gear linkage, 17" titanium-finish alloy wheels and a rally-proven suspension set-up. With the sprint from 0-60 taking just 4.66 seconds, the P1 certainly has the bite to match the bark.This remarkable example has only covered 23,188 miles from new in the hands of its three keepers and is unmodified, unrestored, and well specified from new. First registered through Showells Garage Subaru on 7th July 2000 to a Mr G. Drew, this P1 presents exceptionally well throughout.The first owner ensured this P1 had the desirable factory option upgraded 18" Prodrive wheels and Prodrive’s Big Front Brake kit, as well as assigning the Cherished Registration P4 SCC (included in the sale), which has been fitted since brand new, retaining original Showells Subaru dealer number plates, dealer sticker, and dealer tax disc holder.Mr Drew purchased the car new in July 2000 from Showells Garage Subaru and used it sparingly up until 2008 when he decided to take it off the road. A keeper change is recorded in April 2002 however the vehicle was still in the custody of Mr Drew, who continued ownership until April 2017.The new custodian moved this timepiece into climate-controlled indoor storage where it has remained since, with exception to mild recommissioning completed this year as detailed further below. The service records are impeccable, all stamped in the original service book at the following times:07/08/2000 – 1,068 miles - Showells Garage Subaru (the supplying dealer)06/03/2001 – 6,119 miles - Showells Garage Subaru03/08/2001 – 9,375 miles - Showells Garage Subaru11/02/2002 – 13,827 miles - Showells Garage Subaru11/04/2003 – 16,080 miles - Showells Garage Subaru11/06/2003 – 17,199 miles - Showells Garage Subaru10/06/2004 – 18,754 miles - Showells Garage Subaru16/06/2005 – 20,262 miles - Showells Garage Subaru08/06/2006 – 21,466 miles - Showells Garage Subaru17/04/2008 – 22,758 miles - Startin of Worcester Subaru05/05/2023 – 23,188 miles - Timing belt, aux belts, all fluids and filters replaced with a Subaru specialist, mostly OEM Subaru parts used, total cost £2,494.98.The rest of the history file makes for very pleasant viewing, including all Subaru books, service book, both Subaru keys, and both fobs.In May 2023, before starting the engine following the extended 15-year hibernation, it underwent a major service, including OEM Subaru timing belt and water pump replacement, all fluids and filters replaced, new aux belts, new battery, new brake pads, new exhaust centre section, new fuel pump, fresh fuel and fired into life on the first attempt. All work was completed by a Subaru specialist using OEM Subaru parts sourced from Roger Clark Motorsport where possible. The total cost of parts, labour, and general recommissioning was a reassuring £2,494.98 and the vehicle has only been driven for around ten miles since start-up and it drove beautifully, as expected for its low mileage. Additionally, it will come with a fresh MOT by the time of sale.It's hard to find an Impreza P1 in today’s market, regardless of condition, so to find such a great example, unrestored, unmodified, well-maintained and low miles is not far off mythical status! With soaring prices of Japanese Domestic Market cars, and 22Bs heading well north of £100,000 in recent years, this really smart P1 seems exceptionally good value, and is perfect for any discerning collector, enthusiast or purist.Specification Make: SUBARU Model: IMPREZA P1 Year: 2000 Chassis Number: JF1GM8KDGYG002804 Registration Number: P4 SSC Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 821662 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 23118 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Grey ClothClick here for more details and images
From the 'DJH Ford Collection', an exceptional RS500 in the rarest colour and benefitting from a recent £25,000 engine rebuild. The original Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was the first Ford to wear the Cosworth badge and was presented to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1985. It was introduced as a means of homologating the Sierra for 'Group A' Touring Car racing, with a requirement that 5,000 cars were built and sold. Launched for sale in July 1986 and based on the three-door Sierra bodyshell, it was designed by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) and was powered by a Cosworth-designed 2-litre turbo engine of now-legendary repute. At this time, the Sierra Cosworth was a new kind of performance car - a 'blue-collar hero' able to humble true sports cars! In total 5,545 cars were produced - of which 500 were sent to Aston Martin Tickford for conversion to the Sierra RS500 Cosworth. If the RS Cosworth was a homologation car, the RS500 was an evolution special. Once Ford had built the requisite 5,000 RS Cosworths, 'Group A' rules allowed an upgraded evolution model to be launched. This could carry changes focused on improving its racing potential, provided Ford sold 10% of the original number as road cars, hence the 500. The RS500 was announced in July 1987 and had a mechanically uprated Cosworth engine (more similar to the one to be used in competition), with power boosted to 224bhp, upgraded brakes, modified bodywork and the cachet of being hand-assembled - the RS500 really is the ultimate 1980's Fast Ford! Indeed, during the model's 30th anniversary year in 2017, the RS500 was named the 'Ultimate Cosworth' by one of the UK's biggest one-make car shows.More details on the RS500 can be found here: https://supercarnostalgia.com/blog/ford-sierra-cosworth-rs500?rq=RS500The car presented here is 1987 Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth (AMT #406 of 500/chassis #GG 38981) in Moonstone Blue, one of only 52 such examples ever produced – the rarest of the RS500s. It was despatched from Tickford on 3rd August 1987, first registered as E202 DFV on the 28th August 1987, and sold new through Bradshaws (Ford) of Preston to its first owner in Northamptonshire. It was subsequently serviced by E Ward (Ford) of Wellingborough, Northants on 3rd February 1988 (6,000-mile service) and again on 6th September 1988 at 11,573 miles.With all known subsequent keepers documented in the accompanying history file, the car was purchased by our vendor in 2021 having been sourced for him by RS500 expert Paul Linfoot of the RS500 Owners Club. The car's previous owner instructed Paul to carry out a bare-shell restoration which was completed in 2016. Prior to this work, the car was said be all original underneath, rust free and retaining its factory-stamped panels. Restored to a near-concours condition, the then-owner liked to trailer it to shows, driving it less than 50 miles during the next five years. The mileage now, supported by invoices and MOT Certificates, is a highly conservative 54,230.Our vendor wanted an RS500 in Moonstone Blue (to sit alongside his Black example, which he’s owned since 1990), perhaps harping back to the love of his original Cosworth, a regular 3-door RS Cosworth also in Moonstone (which he part-exchanged for his Black RS500). Wanting the car mechanically as good as its bodywork, our vendor entrusted Jim Stokes Workshops of Hampshire with a full engine rebuild. The process was exacting, costing c.£25,000 and was fully documented in invoices, plus dozens of photos and a video (all in the accompanying history file). The engine is now in superb condition, run-in with around 1,000 miles covered and the gearbox was also given a thorough overhaul, making the drivetrain perform as well as you’d hope.It’s accompanied by a replacement genuine RS500 book-pack, including handbooks and an unused service booklet (sadly, the car’s original pack was misplaced over the years). Without doubt, a superb example of the legendary RS500 which is highly rated by marque specialist Paul Linfoot. This is a real opportunity to become a member of an exclusive club of RS500 owners at a very attractive guide.Specification Make: FORD Model: SIERRA RS500 COSWORTH Year: 1987 Chassis Number: WF0EXXGBBEGG38981 Registration Number: E501 LBT Transmission: Manual Engine Number: YBD0207 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 54230 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images
The diminutive A110, a charismatic sports car and rally legend; fresh from a recent restoration and a 'hot' Gordini engine and 5-speed gearbox. Perhaps the most celebrated Alpine-Renault ever produced was the A110, introduced in 1962 as the replacement to the Dauphine-based A108. The A110 experienced a remarkable evolution in terms of power output throughout its production years, utilising a succession of Renault engines and related mechanicals. The model proved to be highly successful in rallying and, in 1969, A110s swept the top three positions in the Coupe des Alpes and one finished third in the Rallye Monte Carlo in both 1969 and 1970. The Alpine-Renault's competition record continued to improve throughout the following years, winning the World Rally Championship in 1971 and 1973.The 'Version 85' of the A110 was marketed by the company as an entry-level model when it was first introduced in 1970. Sourced from the Renault 12, the 1,300cc four-cylinder engine produced a credible 81bhp and, with a curb weight of just 700kg, the little Alpine was good for over 110mph and highly exciting to drive. The V85 had been renamed the '1300' by the time the model was discontinued in 1976, at which point some 2,890 examples had been produced over the model's six-year production run.The car presented here is a Dieppe-built 1972 Alpine A110 1300 VC (V85) 'Berlinette' or Coupé. It's on offer from a vendor who is extremely well-informed about 'everything A110', owning another example - an ex-works car, no less. Due to his knowledge and enthusiasm for the marque, he was informed of this car, chassis #12943, found slumbering in a barn and wearing registration OAB 139K. Apparently, it was first registered in the UK in August 1997 and the final recorded MOT was dated 30th July 1999.It was rediscovered in a sort of 'Targa-spec', having possibly been campaigned in some way, but hadn’t turned a wheel in over 20 years. An old Certificat d'Assurance and tax disc affixed to its windscreen suggest it was still being used (wearing registration 6114 TJ 95) in 1997-98 (so just prior to it coming to the UK) in the Val-d'Oise Département, located just north of Paris (this is further confirmed by an accompanying 1995 invoice made out to an owner in Bezons). Seeing the car's inherent quality and state of preservation, our vendor bought it and set about having it fully recommissioned, new suspension, painted and properly set up on a rolling road, spending c.£25,000 in the process. The attention to detail has been exacting - it was hard not to be with his love of Alpines - and the end result certainly shows this.Alpines, because of their rallying credentials, are often evolved over the years by owners for competition (or semi-competition) activities and interestingly this car's engine appears to be the rarer Gordini 1.3-litre 4-pot (with a special head) giving a very healthy 110bhp, paired with a 5-speed gearbox, all very desirable features for an A110, and confirmed by our vendor’s knowledgeable mechanic.Overall, this is a rare and desirable car, on offer from a real marque expert and is an exciting opportunity for its new owner to write the next chapter in the story of #12943.Specification Make: ALPINE Model: A110 1300VC V85 BERLINETTE Year: 1972 Chassis Number: 12943 Registration Number: OAB 139K Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Make: LHDClick here for more details and images
One of the most spectacular creations of its time, the 750 F1 is still one of the most sought after motorcycles in Ducati history. On offer from a private Collection, this fabulous example has not been used since being fully recommissioned. Considered by many enthusiasts to be the last of the 'real' (pre-Cagiva takeover) Ducatis, the race-styled 750 F1 first appeared in 1985. Ducati had already enjoyed considerable success with its Pantah-derived F2 racers in FIM Formula 2 racing - Tony Rutter winning the championship four times running between 1981 and 1984 - so a '750' version was the logical next step.First seen in prototype form in endurance races in 1983, the F1's 748cc engine was the latest in a long line of stretches applied to the original 500c 'belt drive' Desmo unit that had first appeared in the Pantah in 1979. An markedly over-square design of 88mm x 61.5mm bore/stroke, the F1 engine produced around 60bhp and functioned as a stressed element within the frame, the swinging arm pivoting in the rear of the gearbox. Clearly visible above the deliberately cut away fairing sides, the aforementioned frame attracted almost as much attention as the engine: a trellis of short, straight tubes, it has formed the basis of every road-going Ducati since, as well as the first Desmosedici Moto GP racers. In the fashion of the day, the F1 came with a 16" front wheel, while braking power was provided by state-of-the-art triple Brembos. The stock F1 was complemented by a series of hand-built limited edition race replicas – Montjuich, Santamonica and Laguna Seca – the last inspired by Marco Lucchinelli's famous 'Battle of the Twins' race victory at Daytona in 1986.Today, the evocatively named F1 and its derivatives are highly prized by Ducati collectors. First registered on 7th August 1986, this Ducati F1 was purchased by its second owner, the renowned collector and entrepreneur, Robert White, in September 1989 from Three Cross Motorcycles (sales invoice on file). The Ducati formed part of Robert White’s Collection from 1989 up until 2016 when he then auctioned off his collection, with the current owner being the lucky bidder that day and he, in turn, has kept it in his heated garage ever since.In late January 2017, the bike was entrusted to Rhodes & Track for recommissioning and they went right through it including a carb overhaul, replacement hoses, chain, sprockets, plugs, gaskets, battery, fresh fluids, new tyres and the fairing was painted. This work amounted to £1,818 and the invoice is on file.Presented in unrestored condition, this fabulous Ducati displays a, believed-genuine, 10,787km (approximately 6,702 miles) on the odometer and is offered with SORN paperwork and its V5C registration document. N.B. Please note this lot will be sold with a buyers premium of 15% plus VAT as per our usual motorcycle terms.Specification Make: DUCATI Model: 750 F1 Year: 1986 Chassis Number: NA Registration Number: D41 EPR Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 7500821 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images
A genuine and substantially original Mini in need of some recommissioning and offered with No Reserve. Designed as project ADO15 (Austin Drawing Office project number 15), the Mini came about as a result because of the fuel shortage caused by the 1956 Suez Crisis. Petrol was once again rationed in the UK, sales of large cars slumped but the market for German 'bubble' cars boomed. Leonard Lord, the somewhat autocratic head of BMC, reportedly detested these cars so much that he vowed to rid the streets of them and design a 'proper miniature car'. Alec Issigonis had been working for Alvis, but had now been recruited back to BMC in 1955 and, with his skills in designing small cars, he was a natural for the task. The team that designed the Mini was remarkably small: along with Alec Issigonis, there was Jack Daniels (who had worked with him on the Morris Minor), Chris Kingham (who had been with him at Alvis), two engineering students and four draughtsmen. Together, by October 1957, they had designed and built the original prototype, which was affectionately named 'The Orange Box' because of its colour.The Mk1 Mini (only known as the Mk1 after the arrival of its successor) was the first version of BMC's Mini model and is characterised by its sliding windows, external door hinges and 'moustache' grille. In the UK, the Mk1 was produced between 1959 and 1967 at the Longbridge Plant near BMC's headquarters and was sold under both Austin and Morris marque names. The proposed engine size was originally 948cc, as used in the Morris Minor and Austin A35, however Leonard Lord thought that the 90mph top speed was excessive and thus reduced the engine size to 848cc, resulting in a more manageable speed (for the time) of 72mph!The car presented here is a 1963 Morris Mini Mk1 (848cc), chassis #MA2S4218353, first registered in September 1963. Being an early car, endearing features like the floor-starter and the 'magic wand' gear lever are all present and correct. With only three previous keepers, our vendor bought the car in 2012 from the widow of the preceding owner with an indicated mileage of 57,746, believed to be genuine - which seems wholly commensurate with its overall condition. We understand it to have been restored by the previous owner in the late 1990s, completed in time to enjoy the Mini’s 40th Anniversary in 1999. It's accompanied by a history file, is running and driving and still starts 'on the button', but it did fail an MOT in 2017 and has been in storage ever since.Obviously in need of some work, this charming British classic would make a very worthwhile project.Specification Make: MORRIS Model: MINI MK1 848CC Year: 1963 Chassis Number: MA2S4218353 Registration Number: 7442 KX Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 8AM-U-H598853 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images
Just one owner and only 5,781 miles from new, with eight service invoices detailing diligent maintenance. The icon. As much a part of British car culture as the Mini, the Jaguar E-Type or the Ford Escort - perhaps even moreso. Though officially only known as a Defender from 1990, as a rebadge of the previous 90 and 110 models it was instantly familiar given the evolutionary relationship with the Series Land Rovers that preceded them. To the layman, the different versions have almost become interchangeable, not least because each represents the utilitarian, unpretentious, rugged off-roader that made Land Rover famous.The Defender itself evolved gradually over its quarter-century on sale, gaining new Ford engines and the odd interior tweak, but perhaps the most significant change was nothing to do with the designers at Solihull, it was its gradual adoption by trendy metropolitan elites, declaring it as their carriage of choice, taking the Land Rover legend from the country into the city. It's now equally popular with both cattle herders and yoga instructors, a trend that is reflected in the latest models, as good up to their axles in clag as they are at carving through SW1.This exceptional Defender 90 XS TD was supplied to its one and only owner by Land Rover Main Dealer, Armstrong Massey of York, and has covered only 5,781 miles from new. Delivered in Orkney Grey with Ebony interior, the mileage is supported by eight service invoices detailing an impeccable maintenance record.The first two services in 2013/15 were conducted by Armstrong Massey at 1,388 miles (12,000 mile service) and at 2,750 miles (36,000 mile service). The following six services were carried by Yorkshire's independent Land Rovers specialists, JAS of York, and the history file contains invoices and records of the mileage over that period. Most recently, in September 2023, the Defender has had a full service and a new fuel pump fitted.The factory Defender 90XS specification includes a high and low-range gearbox, fold-down rear seats, electric windows, an analogue clock, heated front and rear windscreens, air conditioning, heated front seats, its original OE radio and Optimill security hinges. It's supplied with all the Owners Manuals, service book and two keys with working fobs.Still very much the vehicle for town or country, the Land Rover Defender 90's credentials have never been challenged and the last of the breed at this mileage and original condition will become increasingly hard to find.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: DEFENDER Year: 2012 Chassis Number: SALLDWBP7CA416882 Registration Number: YY12 YKA Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 111216194112DT224 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 5777 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
A pristine example of a late-production and now iconic Defender, in the ideal configuration for a variety of roles, with c.14,000 miles, a full service history and an interesting backstory. The icon. As much a part of British car culture as the Mini, the Jaguar E-Type or the Ford Escort - perhaps even more so. Though officially only known as a Defender from 1990, as a rebadge of the previous 90 and 110 models, it was instantly familiar given the evolutionary relationship with the Series Land Rovers that preceded them. To the layman, the different versions have almost become interchangeable, not least because each represents the utilitarian, unpretentious, rugged off-roader that made Land Rover famous.Throughout the 1990s, the model commenced its inevitable climb upmarket whilst remaining true (as close as possible) to its roots. Engine changes became a regular occurrence with the 200Tdi being followed by the 300Tdi, Td5 and then the Ford Duratorq that appeared in 2.4-litre form in 2007 and subsequently in 2.2-litre guise during 2012.Despite, or perhaps because of, being recognisably related to the very first Land Rover of 1948, the Defender retained a steadfastly loyal customer base. Perhaps the most significant development, however, was nothing to do with a change in the vehicles appearance or specification - it was the gradual adoption amongst trendy metropolitan elites as their carriage of choice, taking the Land Rover legend from the country into the city. As such, it became popular with both cattle herders and yoga instructors alike, an expanding market that is now reflected in a replacement new-era Defender thats as good carving through SW1 as it is up to its axles in mud. Defender production exceeded 2,000,000 examples before the model was dropped in 2016.The vehicle presented here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 2014 Land Rover Defender 110 2.2-litre Station Wagon with the very useful seven-seat option. This, low-mileage example, is in quite exceptional condition, presented in the handsome factory colour of Fuji White, standing out amongst the more common black and grey hues. It's powered by the 2.2-litre DT224 engine (122bhp and 265lb/ft) with permanent four-wheel drive through a six-speed manual transmission. The odometer indicated just 13,791miles from new (at the time of cataloguing) which is supported by a superbly detailed service history.Interestingly, in 2015, which was the Defender's final year of production, Jaguar Land Rover's Solihull manufacturing plant donated this particular vehicle to the Solihull-based charity Troop Aid, which helps injured troops returning to the UK. It was used by the charity for fundraising events, hence the low mileage, and was subsequently sold to a Land Rover enthusiast who has ensured it has remained in excellent condition, regularly undersealing it and having it routinely serviced.What an opportunity to acquire a real Land Rover Defender, the likes of which we may never see again, with a mileage, condition and backstory that would be difficult to replicate.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: DEFENDER 110 STATION WAGON Year: 2014 Chassis Number: SALLDHMP7FA464214 Registration Number: OE64 HNZ Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 141119135435DT224 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 13791 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images
The final offering from 2023’s ‘Twin Sparks Collection’, the fully restored 970S, presenting in outstanding condition with a fantastic story. The Mini Cooper S appeared in 1963 and quickly established itself as the basis for competition-focused models. Larger disc brakes, more luxurious upholstery and discrete S badges on the bonnet and boot were subtle upgrades, with the real changes made to the adaptable A-series engine. With competition in mind, in 1964, Cooper produced two S models specifically for circuit racing in the under 1,000cc and under 1,300cc classes respectively (rated at 970cc and 1,275cc). The road-going 970 S was a real 'Homologation Special', specifically produced with the under 1-litre class of the BSCC in mind. It's specialist short-stroke engine produced 65bhp but was expensive to manufacture, so BMC made it a special-order model, and consequently, very few were sold (with even fewer remaining today). The 970 S was only produced from June 1964 until April 1965, with just 963 examples supplied, making it one of the rarest and most sought after Mini models.This fabulous 1964 970S has lived a phenomenal life and presents in simply outstanding condition today. According to its Heritage Certificate, this Mini was a RHD home-market car, finished in the same colour scheme that it wears today, Tartan Red with a black roof and a Tartan Red/Gold Brocade Grey interior. Built on 14th August 1964, it was first delivered to the Haslemere Motor Company of Guildford, Surrey, where it was purchased by Mr John Whitton who used it from 1964 to 1971 both on the road and for racing before becoming primarily a 'Group One'/Two race car, racing on nearly every circuit during the 1960s. Mr Whitton worked for a national newspaper at the time, which ensured many connections within the racing community and he was a member of the BARC. The car was a regular at Silverstone and is known to have raced abroad on at least three occasions. In its early days, it went to the Competition Department at Abingdon for an engine rebuild and later visited Speedwell of London to be put on the rolling road where it achieved 108bhp. In-period and to this day, that is a seriously impressive specification. In 1971, when they were worth so little, the Mini was destined to be scrapped, but thankfully it was put into dry storage instead, where it stayed for 29 years before being sold and restored in 2000. It is a matching numbers car with the original engine and gearbox.From 2000-2003 the car underwent a thorough restoration, both mechanically and cosmetically. Mechanically, the original 970cc engine has been bored to 999cc with a brand new crankshaft, in original specification but lightened and balanced, Cooper S con-rods, race pistons with valve recess and the flywheel lightened and balanced. Further upgrades include a new clutch assembly, duplex timing gears, lightened and balanced C.AEA 731 camshaft, case-hardened cam followers, race-spec lightened and polished push rods and an AEG 163 five-port hardened cylinder head, ported and polished with race valves, lightened race rockers and an early special tuning rocker box. Additional mods include new 1.5" H4 SUs, early 3-branch LCB with race exhaust system, Cooper S distributor with oil feed, large pulley dynamo, modified oil pump with an oil cooler, central oil pickup, clutch cooler and a 6-blade fan. The gearbox is a 22G190 3-synchro, straight-cut with a new gear set and bearings. The underside/suspension/handling was improved with bead blasted and powder coated subframes, reconditioned radius arms, new brake discs, reconditioned callipers, hubs and driveshafts with all cylinders/pipes renewed, new suspension with new/old stock Armstrong adjustable racing shock absorbers.Inside the car, you’ll find a William Dulles dashboard fitted with 120mph speedo with trip, oil temperature, water temperature, an early 10,000pm rev counter, oil pressure, oil warning light, amp meter, a wood-rim Mototune steering wheel, BMC fire extinguisher, battery isolator, new carpets, ashtrays and roof lining, all in excellent condition, with as much new/old stock as was physically possible.After a few years post-restoration in the UK, the Mini went to live in Portugal until 2018 when it was sourced and added to the Twin Sparks Collection. Since purchase and re-entry into the UK, it's benefitted from a more road-friendly final drive and the interior has been retrimmed, still in the same colours, as well as having professionally trimmed, period-correct bucket seats fitted.Known to the Ex-Works & Competition Car Register, this is simply one of the finest looking and driving Minis we’ve encountered and is the final car to leave the Twin Sparks Collection, being held back as the owner's personal favourite, but it is now time to move this venerable little Cooper on to its next home.Specification Make: MINI Model: COOPER 970 S Year: 1964 Chassis Number: K-A2S4/550537 Registration Number: PRX 815B Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 9F-SA-X/29209 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 50604 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Red/GreyClick here for more details and images
One of only 80 right-hand drive examples of these contemporary classic Jaguars from SVO with just 71 miles from new - simply incredible. In 2012, nearly 40 years after the E-Type's demise, Jaguar finally got around to announcing the long-awaited and much-rumoured F-Type, which would turn out to be a more worthy spiritual successor to its illustrious forbearer than either the preceding XK8 or, before that, the XJS. A front-engined, rear-wheel drive two-seater, the F-Type is built on an aluminium chassis, cleverly configured to minimise the transmission of noise and vibration to the passenger compartment, while its suspension is the supercar-standard arrangement of double wishbones all round, with adaptive dampers and adjustable settings. Multiple driving modes cater for different road conditions and driving styles. Unlike the E-Type, the F-Type was available with a wide variety of different power plants, ranging from a turbocharged 2-litre four via a 3-litre turbo V6 to a supercharged 5-litre V8. A ZF 8-speed paddle-shift semi-automatic transmission was standard on all models at first, with a 6-speed manual available later on the V6. The F-Type debuted at the Paris Motor Show in September 2012 in convertible form, with the fixed head coupé following in 2014. Nowadays it is de rigeur for car stylists to reference past models in their latest creations and to some observers, the coupé's rear recalled that of one of the rarest of E-Types: the low-drag factory racer. To cater for the sports car market's seemingly insatiable appetite for limited edition models, Jaguar launched the 400 Sport – produced for just one year – and Project 7, which would be built in a run of only 250 cars. Project 7 had first seen the light of day as a single-seater concept car shown at Goodwood, and so favourable was the reception that it was decided to press ahead with making a more practical two-seater production version. They soon sold out, with 80 assigned to customers in the UK. The 'Project 7' designation referenced Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins, while the 'Aero Haunch' behind the driver's head was an obvious nod towards the D-Type sports-racer responsible for three of those victories. An aggressive looking shallow-screen 'barchetta', Project 7 has all-aluminium bodywork and is powered by the 5-litre supercharged V8, uprated to produce 567bhp, 25bhp more than in the F-Type R. Coupled with a 45kg weight reduction, this makes Project 7 the fastest accelerating F-Type yet, with a 0-60mph time of 3.8 seconds. Like many of the current crop of supercars, Project 7 is electronically limited to a top speed of 186mph. With the exhaust butterflies open (there's a special console switch), the car emits a superb growl-bark that turns into a magnificent crackle on the overrun. It's the one thing that makes you want to slow down.The 'top-end running gear' includes the 8-speed paddle-shift auto 'box, electronic differential, carbon ceramic brakes, specially tuned suspension and unique settings for engine management and chassis stability control. SVO engineers also rebalanced and improved the car's rear-biased aerodynamic downforce by fitting side skirts and a large front splitter, while slightly reducing the effectiveness (and drag) of the boot lid wing. The result of Project 7's unique set of characteristics is a track-focused car capable of satisfying even the quickest of drivers.The car presented here is a 2015 Jaguar F-Type Project 7 with only 71 miles recorded so, effectively, a 'new' car. Acquired by our car-enthusiast vendor to form part of his Collection, it was supplied by Lancaster Jaguar of Sevenoaks, finished in the rather striking special order hue of Ultra Blue with a triple white stripe across the nose and was first registered on 24th December 2015.It sits on a set of special order, bright-forged, 20" Storm Black diamond-turned alloy wheels in front of bright yellow calipers. The car was optioned from new with Project 7 illuminated tread plates, four-point racing harnesses (on its Jet Black sports seats) and was supplied with a bespoke car cover, a scale model example, a leather hood bag, two keys and an immobiliser. It's fitted with the 'Jaguar Project 7 - one of 250' plaque and is accompanied by the rather lavish Dealer Book Pack containing its Certificate of Authenticity.Despite its micro-mileage, the car has been serviced by Lancaster Jaguar on 11th September 2017 (as their 16,000-mile service interval), again on 9th September 2021 at 70 miles (as their 48,000-mile service interval), again on 28th October 2022 at 70 miles (as their 80,000-mile service interval) and lastly on 23rd July 2023 at 70 miles.As you can imagine, this car's condition is simply spectacular.

A genuine road-going Manta 400, one of 245, wonderful condition and superbly original having escaped any form of competition. The story of the Opel Manta 400 is a familiar one to anyone who was a follower of the crazy days of 'Group B' rallying and their sibling road cars built by the major manufacturers in whatever 'homologation' quantity was required. Developed from its Ascona predecessor, the Manta was always popular with the crowds - lots of power, not much weight and a propensity to attack stages sideways. However by the time it was ready to rally, the game had moved on, the Audi Quattro showing the rest of the field that four-wheel drive was going to be a requirement in the WRC. Nevertheless, that didn't stop the Manta from achieving cult hero status on British and European stages, with its raspy sound, lively handling and iconic liveries, the Andrews Heat for Hire with Russell Brookes and Mike Broad being a particular favourite and winning over a lot of fans.The 'homologation' Manta road car was named '400' because that was the number of examples of the old Ascona that were required by the regulations at the time, however when the Manta was ready to compete, only 200 road cars were required and, having built a total of 245 examples of the Manta 400, production ceased. Even 40 years ago, then, it was a very rare car. The notable mechanical upgrade was a Cosworth head for the 2.4-litre engine (originally meant to be 2-litre, but that wasn’t powerful enough), although it was the looks that really made the Manta stand out as a road car. The white-on-white colour scheme with '400' decals, the bulked-up arches for wider tracks, the incredible Irmscher interior and the battery of fog lights all look just as good now as they did in the 1980s. We are proud to offer this rare and genuine Opel Manta 400 which probably holds the mantle as the most enigmatic variant of the 1980s and is one of the rare, early examples with the distinctive 'twin slot' front air vents. It has covered just 59,026km (36,680 miles) from new and presents superbly, having escaped any form of competition, making it an ideal Collection candidate.It was delivered new to its first Belgian owner by his local Opel Sport and Irmscher Dealer and the history file includes photographs of the owner at the Opel Homologation meeting at Russelsheim in Germany with Works driver, Walter Rohrl, in the group, standing by the car. The Manta was owned by him until the late 1980s before being sold to a Dutch Collector who then passed it on to our first UK-owner in 1995. It was driven by him for just one kilometre before going into storage for 14 years. In 2010, the car received a very light recommissioning and changed hands again in 2015 to another collector. After eight years, this super original Opel Manta is ready for the next chapter of its ownership story.Together with the full backstory and timeline, the history file contains the original factory invoice. The car retains its original engine, black-backed interior, original and correct offset wheels (fronts ET23 and rears ET3), all original bodywork and panels and certainly appears totally correct, very rare.With a recent checkover and new MOT, this lovely 1980s time-warp homologation special is a must for any collection of significant rally-related road cars or can just be enjoyed as a fabulous modern classic in its own right.Specification Make: OPEL Model: MANTA Year: 1982 Chassis Number: W0L000058C6060720 Registration Number: UCW 614X Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 800040 Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 59033 KM Make: LHDClick here for more details and images
**The car has just received a full service and vehicle health check at Sytner BMW with no advisories/suggested action**The E46 M3 CS Leichtbau was the definitive 'Touring Car' for the road. Only 947 miles from new and a single former keeper - the best available? Probably. With only 1,383 examples produced during its 2004 production run, the E46 M3 CSL was the definitive 'Touring Car' for the road. Available in only two colours, Silver-Grey metallic and Black Sapphire metallic, with a purposeful but not overly compromised cockpit.The proven S54B32 in-line 6-cylinder engine of the BMW M3 remained in the M3 CSL as the 3,246cc S54B32HP but now offered even more power, at 360bhp. By adapting its camshafts and valves, the engineers at BMW M were able to generate a further 17bhp and an additional 5Nm torque. A special highlight of the engine is its airbox: not only is it particularly light, but the carbon component also gave the engine the uniquely characteristic intake noise that became so popular with enthusiasts. Mated to the exclusive SMG II transmission, this state-of-the-art transmission featured a launch-control mode that automatically shifts at the optimum point for maximum acceleration and this, in turn, was mated to the standard E46 M3 final drive and M differential lock. Finally, the DSC can be switched to 'M Track' mode with a steering wheel-mounted button, raising the threshold at which the system intervenes to allow for some degree of wheelspin. 0 - 60mph is in an incredible 4.6 seconds, totally remarkable in a car with four comfortable seats, electric windows and a boot spacious enough for the weekly shop.BMW's 'Leichtbau' philosophy in relation to the mass-produced M3 was not only to reduce weight overall, but to distribute the weight savings in order to retain the E46 3-Series' perfect 50/50 split. To get the centre of gravity as low as possible, the CSL adopted many weight-saving technologies from BMW's Formula 1 racing applications. A large proportion of the M3's sound insulation was removed, along with the electric seats and navigation systems. The CSL's unique body pieces, including the roof, were all crafted from carbon fibre, glass-reinforced plastics were used throughout structural points in the car and the standard rear window was replaced with one made from thinner glass. The results were considerably more effective than the 110kg weight saving would suggest, as the reduction in mass in conjunction with the lowered height of that mass and less body flex led to a dramatic improvement in dynamics.Externally, the CSL can be identified by numerous details, such as the special door sills, the curved spoiler lip on the boot lid and, of course, the addition of those three special letters on its rear. The single 'porthole' on one side of the front apron, which gives the engine the necessary oxygen by means of an enlarged intake air duct, is unique to this model.The car presented here is a 2004 BMW M3 (E46) CSL, one of the 422 UK-supplied examples, which has covered an incredibly low 947 miles from new. Iconic Auctioneers are privileged to offer for sale what we believe to be the lowest mileage M3 CSL in existence.It was supplied new through Lancaster BMW on the Isle of Man, and was first registered there on the 7th January 2005. Its original owner bought the car and immediately placed it into his garage, barely using it for the next couple of years. In 2007, our vendor, a keen car enthusiast, travelled over to buy it, driving it briefly around the island, before trailering it safely back home, and that's where it has resided ever since, professionally stored, on an OptiMate trickle-charger, regularly run-up, and only being removed for a comprehensive service at BMW on the 27th May 2020 (at 947 miles).The car is as good as any enthusiast-collector would want, being virtually unmarked. The paint is factory-fresh, the underside is spotless and the interior still smells 'of BMW'. It is as close to a new M3 CSL as is surely possible; quite something when you think this is now a 20-year-old car.We invite any interest and inspection of car that surely represents a unique opportunity. The M3 CSL is a 'high-tide mark car' and this example is undoubtedly the 'best-of-breed'.SpecificationMake: BMWModel: M3 CSLYear: 2004Chassis Number: WBSBL96010JC98401Registration Number: TBATransmission: SMGEngine Number: 60773147Odometer Reading: 947 MilesMake: Interior Colour: Amaretta Suede / Reflex ClothClick here for more details and images
