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
One of only 47 UK right-hand drive 'Touring' examples, manual gearbox, huge specification, GT Silver Metallic and just 14,200 miles from new. 'The GT3 is simply one of the most spectacularly immersive and engaging sports cars in the world, and the Touring treatment does nothing to change that. Instead, it glosses the GT3’s already towering appeal with a little of Porsche’s stellar heritage and a dollop of aesthetic restraint.' - CAR magazine.It is not perhaps just a coincidence that Porsche’s only other 911 model able to be specified as a ‘Touring’ was the illustrious 1971 911 2.7 RS - there had been plenty of suitable 911s during that time (including more than 18 years of the GT3) - but it shows just how special and highly regarded by Porsche the 991.1 GT3 Touring is.Porsche unveiled the 911 GT3 Touring Package, a more approachable alternative to the rare, expensive and totally focused 911 R, at a media function on the eve of the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show. It was the latest in a line of road-friendly models aimed at purists intent on securing one of the last remaining 911 models powered by a naturally-aspirated engine. Porsche says the GT3 Touring Package is designed for 'enthusiasts who particularly value an understated appearance combined with a high level of driving enjoyment'.In fact, the GT3 Touring could even be considered a better car that the 911 R, as this Touring uses the newer 4-litre GT3 engine with its stiffer crank, new intakes and 9,000rpm redline (remember the R 4-litre goes to a paltry 8,500). Power is 493bhp, torque is 339lb/ft and the top speed is 196mph. It gets better too, as the GT3 Touring is manual, only aided and abetted by a mechanical limited-slip differential. The gearbox is said to offer 'particularly sporting shift characteristics', with 62mph coming up in 3.9 seconds and nearly 200mph - this truly is harking back to the spirit of those legendary air-cooled 911s from the mid-1970s.Further differences between the standard GT3 and the Touring are small but important; up front, it features the same bumper assembly and air ducts as Porsche's standard race-bred model. The rear, however, receives a more understated look, with the automatically deploying spoiler assembly from the standard 911 Carrera, complete with an additional Gurney Flap and a unique grille insert bearing a GT3 Touring logo.Other exterior touches include headlight washer system covers, highlights around the side windows, and sport exhaust tailpipes, all in silver although buyers could specify a so-called 'Black Exterior Touring Package' to change these elements to black. In a further departure from the standard 911 GT3, the internal headlight graphics and tail-light lenses are darkened in colour.Inside, the new model swaps the Alcantara accents of the standard car for genuine leather trim on the steering wheel, gear lever, door panel armrests, centre console storage compartment lid, and door handles. The seat centres are upholstered in black fabric, whilst the headrests feature an embossed Porsche logo. There are also black aluminium trim applications within the dashboard.The 911 GT3 Touring Package rolls on 20" centre-lock wheels - 9" in width up front and 12" in width at the rear and they are shod with 245/35 and 305/30 profile tyres respectively. Clothed in the same aluminium body as the 911 Carrera 4, the model is 44mm wider than the standard 911 Carrera and lowered suspension also sees it sit 25mm closer to the ground.Among other innovations is a rear-wheel steer function which points the rear wheels in the opposite direction to the front wheels for added agility at lower speeds and (comfortingly) in the same direction as the front wheels for greater longitudinal stability at higher speeds.The 2018 Porsche 911 (991.2) GT3 Touring presented here is one of 47 UK-market right-hand drive examples and was ordered with an enviable specification (full details below), including ceramic brakes, front lift system, interior carbon package and full bucket seats and is finished in Porsche’s signature GT Silver Metallic paintwork. It features bespoke chequered upholstery for the seat inserts – not dissimilar to ex-Top Gear presenter, Chris Harris', own 991.2 GT3 Touring, a car he has owned for many years and in which he has done over 50,000 miles, which he describes as - 'one of the best drivers' cars I’ve ever driven'.Our GT Silver car was supplied new through Porsche Centre Sheffield and received its first service there in July 2020 (at 213 miles), whilst a subsequent 111-point Porsche Check was conducted by Porsche Centre Preston in August 2021 (3,492 miles) at the time our vendor acquired the car. At just over 5,000 miles, the car was involved in a rain-induced spin, thankfully avoiding any third-party collision. Zurich Insurance and his local Porsche Centre set about its meticulous repair, using all-new OEM parts and, upon its completion, the car was selected to be inspected as part of a formal Porsche Workshop Compliance Audit, where it was deemed 'to Porsche specification' as good as new. The incident wasn’t worthy of any Insurance Categorisation and any HPI check or similar will display all clear. Obviously, all related paperwork and invoices are available for inspection.Our vendor has subsequently fully used and enjoyed the car, which has performed faultlessly ever since, for the next 10,000 miles or so, with the odometer currently indicating 14,200 miles. It was treated to its second service at Porsche Centre Reading in July 2022 (at 10,132 miles) with no major issues identified.The 991.2 GT3 Touring is quite rightly regarded as one of the best modern-era Porsche models – all the ingredients are there; how much longer will we see these sorts of cars? Brimming with technology but still with a healthy dose of analogue character to ensure the driver is still the driver. This is an opportunity to own a very rare and enormously capable 911 at a sensible guide price.The specification includes:039 F: Touring Package with exterior in Black450 F: Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)454 F: Cruise control474 F: Front-axle lift system486 F: 6-speed GT sports manual transmission583 F: Smoking package749 F: Leather interior with stitching in red7X9 F: Reversing camera9VL F: BOSE® Surround Sound-SystemDFS F: Vehicle key painted with key pouch in leatherEKG F: Interior package carbon (including door trim strips)P11 F: Full bucket seats (leather-trimmed carbon fibre with Porsche crest embossed in Headrest)QR5 F: Sport Chrono PackageQV3 F: Digital RadioXAJ F: Side-skirts paintedXEY F: LED main headlights in black including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus)XGT F: Wheels painted in Satin Black with wheel outer edge painted in Guards Red (since changed to silver)XYB F: Fuel filler cap with Aluminium-look finishSpecification Make: PORSCHE Model: 911 991.2 GT3 TOURING Year: 2018 Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99ZJS167140 Registration Number: YT18 EHS Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 005205 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 14200 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black leather Click here for more details and images
In superb condition with low mileage and celebrity provenance, this is a wonderful opportunity to own a pristine example of a Heritage Edition Defender with just 3,800 miles from new. After 67 years of making one of the most iconic off-roaders, Land Rover finally called time on the Defender series, so closely linked in heart, body and soul to the original 1947 Series I, HUE 166, affectionately known as 'Huey'. To mark the occasion, Land Rover launched the final Defender Celebration Series of three limited editions and the most significant of these was the Heritage Edition. Limited to just 400 built right at the end, the last ever Defender rolled off the production line at 9.15am on 29th January 2016. It was the 2,016,933rd Defender built at Solihull and thus became the last true Land Rover, the end of an era.All were finished in Grasmere Green with an Alaskan White roof, Heritage-style grill, headlamp surrounds and heavy duty steel wheels as a nod to the original car and further nostalgic touches include the silver front bumper with black end caps, clear indicator lenses, Indus Silver door hinges, body-coloured wheel arches, aluminium Heritage-style badging to the front grille and rear bodywork and evocative HUE 166 graphics on both front wing panels.Modern upgrades included a perforated leather steering wheel and gear lever, aluminium trim for the air vents, door handles and door locks, interior trim finished in Almond Resolve cloth seat facings with the Heritage logo and finally a padded cubby box between the two front seats.This car was supplied new by Gordon Lamb of Chesterfield in October of 2015 to its first owner who covered a nominal mileage and within 18 months offered the car for sale. In 2017, we were approached to locate and find a five-door 110 Heritage Edition, significantly rarer than the three-door 90, specifically for the world-famous comic actor, Rowan Atkinson CBE.A well known petrol head and Land Rover enthusiast, we had the pleasure of sourcing this car for him and it has since been cherished and lightly used as part of his personal Collection. Always correctly serviced, maintained and professionally stored, retaining all its original paint and panels, it has now covered just 3,800 miles from new. During Rowan's tenure, the car was fitted with a factory-specification tow bar and electrics as well as factory-spec air conditioning (at a cost of £4,278!) and also had a car alarm installed. Today, it is ready to use and enjoy and is offered in exceptional condition throughout with the comfort of a known history from new.The Heritage Edition was limited to a production run world wide of just 400 units and each vehicle was accompanied by a matching green hardback book entitled Land Rover - One of 400. We are pleased to confirm that the book is present and correct with this car and can be seen with the history file at our documents desk at the forthcoming sale.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: DEFENDER Year: 2015 Chassis Number: SALLDHMP7GA483984 Registration Number: YR65 WUT Transmission: Manual 6-Speed Engine Number: 150924061314DT224 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 3800 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: AlmondClick here for more details and images
A fully restored, matching numbers example finished to an outstanding level. When the Escort was relaunched as the Mk 2 in 1975, Ford were keen not to lose any momentum on the sportier versions of the standard saloon and almost immediately made an RS Mexico version available. Produced in Saarlouis, West Germany, the Escort RS Mexico was built between 1975-1978 replacing its Mk I namesake. Only around 2,500 were manufactured and the specification was similar to the earlier car with a 1,600cc engine, this time utilising the overhead-cam Pinto unit. It featured an aluminium sump, engine mounts, alternator bracket and a cast iron manifold. The gearbox was the 4-speed Type-B unit mated to the 'English' type rear axle. Suspension was the ubiquitous McPherson-strut set up with Sachs Dampers and rear leaf springs. RS Mexicos were fitted with either 5.5" x 13" steel wheels or alloy 4-spoke 6J x 13". Standard OE fit tyres were Pirelli CN36s. The car's performance was excellent and, together with great handling, made the Escort the car to beat in the World Rally Championship, with the 'flat front' Escort becoming the most recognisable rally car of the era.Fresh from an exacting professional restoration, this particular matching numbers Escort Mexico has undergone a complete rebuild from a bare shell upwards with the emphasis on originality. Every single component has received attention, including a total mechanical overhaul, with the 1,600cc overhead-cam Pinto engine and matching gearbox being rebuilt by Ridgeway Racing Engines.Superbly finished in its original shade of Diamond White, the classic black interior has been refurbished by Aldridge Trimming and features 'roll-top' Recaro front seats, the original 3-spoke RS steering wheel and Mexico-specific, white-needle clocks.It’s accompanied by a comprehensive history file containing previous registration documents, tax discs, older MOT Certificates and photographs and invoices relating to the restoration and it’s pleasing to note that the registration number assigned, ODW 707R, has been with the Escort since its first day on the road. With everything having recently been completed and just 50 shake-down miles covered since, we suggest that a careful period of running-in is followed to obtain the very best from this increasingly valuable, rally-inspired, 1970s Fast Ford.With just 2,500 examples produced between November 1975 and July 1978, few remain in their original specification, with so many being modified and altered to achieve increased power outputs or a more aggressive stance, making this stunning example a rare beast indeed. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer.Specification Make: FORD Model: ESCORT MK2 Year: 1976 Chassis Number: GCATSC18594 Registration Number: ODW 707R Transmission: Manual Engine Number: SC18594 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: GreyClick here for more details and images
One of only 50 examples of the Evo VI Zero Fighter ever produced, RHD, in Scotia White with Passion Red and in excellent condition. A worthy 60th Anniversary tribute to the Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter plane. It wasn't until the launch of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI that the Japanese firm truly entered the consciousness of a wider spectrum of rally enthusiasts. The first Evo to be officially available in the UK, the Mitsubishi Evo VI, was introduced in January 1999 and the 'standard' Evo VI GSR stole enthusiasts' hearts from the start with its 2-litre turbocharged engine producing the 'Gentlemen's Agreement' 276bhp (although it’s accepted that it was closer to 300bhp) and 275lb/ft torque. It featured a complex and hugely capable four-wheel drive system, mated to a 5-speed gearbox ensuring this lightweight, 1,360kg saloon was fast and exciting, with 0-60mph dispatched in 4.4 seconds and topping out at 150mph, immediately giving Subaru’s Impreza a bloody nose.The Zero Fighter was a Mitsubishi/Ralliart amalgam of parts that could be ordered from any Mitsubishi supplying dealer when you ordered the car and could also be retro-fitted by the dealer for a limited time. It was an option on any Evo VI, either the RS or GSR, rather than being a specific model that was built, with this particular example being based on a GSR.This 1999 Evo VI Zero Fighter is a JDM gem and the genesis for what has now become the eXtreme. Finished in Scotia White with Passion Red trim, it's certainly an aesthetically pleasing mix and has covered just 110,080km from new. The car was owned by a lawyer in Japan and, since its UK arrival here in late-2023, it's been subject to much attention including a major service by Evo specialists, CPP Motor Developments, in January 2024. As part of the service, they flushed and replaced all fluids, reset the timing, replaced the auxiliary belts, bushes, brake pads/discs and a number of other parts, totalling just over £3,500 to ensure it's as good mechanically as it is cosmetically. It was fitted with a brand-new set of arch liners, four new Yokohama Advan AD08RS, some scuff damage on the front bumper was resprayed and the car was subject to a fresh MOT, which it passed with 'no advisories' and is now valid until 8th January 2025.The original Japanese handbooks are present, along with seven Japanese service stamps/paperwork. Recent service intervals have been:27the June 2018 – 46,341km, 22nd July 2020 – 62,434km, 15th July 2022 – 95,631km, 10th January 2024 – 110,080kmThe car retains its extremely rare parts such as the original Ralliart hard-pipe kit and genuine Ralliart exhaust system, as confirmed by the stamps on the backbox. The Zero Fighter body-kit has the all-important Ralliart stamp on the side skirt (see website photographs). All the parts fitted to this car that are on the Zero Fighter list are genuine Ralliart parts and looking at the wear and patina, one can be safe in the knowledge they’ve been fitted from new rather than being retrofitted, including the Ralliart exhaust system, front strut-brace, brake stabilizer, Zero Fighter body kit, Ralliart oil cap, fog lamp covers, radiator cap, carbon gear knob, hard pipe kit, hard pipe air feed and decals. The Zero Fighter package offered what was considered in its day to be a big boost in performance over the standard car, generating 330-340bhp and 315lb/ft of torque.The only original pieces that are not on the car now are the coil-over suspension, radio and wheels, having been replaced with extremely rare, wider 17" x 8" Enkei Tommi Mäkinen wheels, with the standard TME wheels being 17" x 7.5".The Zero Fighter later became the 'eXtreme/Xtreme' which was a limited production model built by Co-Ord Sport in the UK, who fitted the genuine Zero Fighter body-kit and Work Meister SR2 wheels and a numbered plaque. Whilst incredibly rare, this original Zero Fighter was not a limited production model, so there is no numbered plaque.Our vendor is a self-admitted Evo obsessive, having owned more than 80 of them over the years and whilst the original plan was to keep the car, as with so many car enthusiasts, they’ve now grown an itch for a different toy.With such limited time in the UK, this Zero Fighter has never seen a salted road, hence its good cosmetic condition, and with its recent major service, it's presented to market in the best possible condition, fully IK-registered and with a fresh MOT valid until 08/01/2025. The Evo VI has rightfully become a collectors’ piece, cherished for its performance, looks, sounds and heritage and this is a remarkable example.Specification Make: MITSUBISHI Model: LANCER EVO VI ZERO FIGHTER Year: 1999 Chassis Number: CP9A0105215 Registration Number: T579 TRH Transmission: Manual Engine Number: TBC Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 110000 KM Make: RHD Interior Colour: Grey Alcantara/Blue checked clothClick here for more details and images
Number five of five, this Mitsubishi EVO VI RS Tommi Mäkinen 'Monte Carlo' Edition has covered just 3,497 miles from new in the hands of its one and only owner. Launched at the peak of rally-mania, Mitsubishi experienced huge success in Lancer Evolution sales, reportedly selling 6,000 Evolution IVs in the first three days of its launch! The 1996 WRC season brought Mitsubishi its first World Rally Championship drivers’ title, with thanks to a blisteringly quick driver named Tommi Mäkinen.In quick succession, the Lancer Evolution VI came to be and, in the latter-half of 1999, Mitsubishi unleashed a special edition to celebrate its favourite driver's four consecutive WRC drivers' titles from 1996-1999; the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Mäkinen Edition (TME). The Evolution VI was already a technological tour-de-force but the TME came equipped with a more responsive titanium turbocharger, uprated and lowered suspension, quicker steering, an upgraded exhaust, a new ECU, beefed-up transfer case internals, a redesigned front bumper for improved cooling and authentic 17" WRC Enkei alloy wheels. The interior featured embossed Recaro seats, a MOMO steering wheel and red stitching. The performance upgrades saw 0-60mph despatched in 4.4 seconds and a maximum top speed of 150mph. Power was rumoured to be north of 300bhp, rather than the 276bhp 'Gentleman’s agreement'.Offered here is the rarest of all the Tommi Mäkinen derivatives and often regarded as the last of the true homologation specials. Ralliart UK planned to produce a limited run of 12 cars to celebrate Tommi Mäkinen’s unprecedented third win on the Monte Carlo Rally, but in fact only five cars were built, this being #5.The RS Monte Carlo edition started life as a standard competition RS model before the Ralliart Technical Team, headed by WRC Mitsubishi Works principal Toney Cox, applied their extensive knowledge to produce the ultimate Mitsubishi Evo. It was fitted with the renowned Ralliart UK Stage 1 engine performance pack providing stunning acceleration, improved throttle response and overall drivability. The uprated suspension was enhanced with specially developed Eibach springs which, with revised geometry, provided improved handling and the 'Monte Carlo' was equipped with the competition close-ratio gearbox and a 'Group N' rally-specification front helical differential. The interior benefitted from Recaro SR front seats with the rear seats and doors trimmed in a matching fabric.First registered to Ralliart UK Ltd. on 11th July 2001, #5 was subsequently sold to its one and only owner on 17th August 2001 with only 71 miles indicated and today the odometer reads just 3,497 miles. The history file contains a copy of the original RS Monte Carlo press release from Mitsubishi Motor Sports and Ralliart and the original invoice to our owner. Essentially still factory fresh, Monte Carlo #5 has recently been checked over by a renowned rally preparation business and represents the final opportunity to own a pristine example of what, in our opinion, is the ultimate Evo.Specification Make: MITSUBISHI Model: EVO VI Year: 2001 Chassis Number: JMYSNCP9AYU000227 Registration Number: Y829 GHW Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 4G63BK5599 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 3497 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images
From the 'DJH Ford Collection', a remarkably original RS500 from a 34-year ownership, meticulously maintained and cherished by a true enthusiast. 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 body-shell, 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 an 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 #266 of 500/chassis #GG 39092) in Black, despatched from Tickford on 21st July 1987 to Hendy Ford of Southampton for sale, and first registered on 1st August 1987 as E500 JOR. Its first owner deciding on leasing it from the dealership, hence the original keeper is recorded as Hendy Lennox Leasing Ltd. Pleasingly, E500 JOR still wears its original Hendy Ford number plates, a rare Cosworth bonnet sticker, passenger footwell fire extinguisher, rear blinds, boot floor catch-net and (unused) parcel shelf and First Aid kit all still in situ - these items were fitted by Hendy Ford for reaching their sales quota.As the 1990s began, the car’s next keeper (our vendor) was the proud owner of a 'regular' Moonstone Blue 3-door Sierra RS Cosworth, however, in March 1990, keen to acquire the new 'halo' RS500 model, he approached his local dealership, Hendy Ford, and part-exchanged his 3-door for E500 JOR. He was to be its proud and diligent owner for the next 34 years.The car’s accompanying original service booklet shows its first owner had it routinely serviced with Hendy Ford, up to 19,600 miles, when our vendor bought it in 1990 (an accompanying sales invoice confirms). Our vendor continued this tradition of servicing at the supplying-dealership, before using Ford specialists Tremona Garage up to 2014 and stamps and invoices relate to that.Over the decades, E500 JOR was used and enjoyed, as these cars are meant to be, making trips around the UK and Europe. Always garaged, maintained and crucially, kept original, E500 JOR survives today as quite possibly one of the most original, genuine and unmolested RS500s we have ever offered for sale. Our vendor has always ensured that the timing belts were routinely replaced, and the car regularly serviced and this regular care has ensured that it has never needed an engine rebuild, painting or welding. It feels and looks all the better for it, not Concours obviously, but with a sincerity which is impossible to replicate. E500 JOR has now covered a conservative mileage of just 60,197, supported, quite remarkably, by every single MOT Certificate since July 1990 and is in amazingly original and wholesome condition – testament to having only ever had two owners, the second for almost 35 years.Being an RS500 devotee, our vendor has ensured that E500 JOR has made pilgrimages to Cosworth, enjoyed many outings with the RS Owners Club, been displayed at shows and featured in magazines.The accompanying history file includes an original and complete Ford book-pack, a spare key, every MOT Certificate since 1990, multiple period photos of E500 JOR, numerous invoices for servicing, maintenance and parts, RS500 material, club/specialist appraisals, a copy of a Tickford RS500 data sheet plus magazines featuring E500 JOR. Also, coming with the car is a specially commissioned Modatek 30th Anniversary Commemorative RS500 piston, #002 of only 30 produced, specially engraved with E500 JOR and Build #266 (see photos attached) - what a great addition to the car.Interestingly and by pure chance, a few years ago our vendor got to know the car's original owner and he was able to send our vendor an image of E500 JOR parked next to an Escort S1 RS Turbo, his son’s car. They got the two cars together again and mocked-up the same photo, in the same spot, some 30 years later (see photos attached).We understand that E500 JOR drives with a pure, unspoilt and original feel and, according to one RS500 expert, its engine is one of the best he’d ever encountered, high praise indeed. Trying to find classics cars like E500 JOR is getting much harder, let alone examples as rare and as sought-after as an RS500; what an opportunity this is, decades of care from a dedicated owner lavished on a car that is considered a 'high-water mark' in Ford’s enviable back-catalogue.Specification Make: FORD Model: SIERRA RS500 COSWORTH Year: 1987 Chassis Number: WF0EXXGBBEGG39092 Registration Number: E500 JOR Transmission: Manual Engine Number: YBD0468 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 60197 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images
1 of just 250 Tomb Raider Special Edition Defenders produced, one of the best-equipped Defenders ever and a real collectors' car. Over the years there have been a number of 'special edition' Land Rover Defenders released, including the '90SV', 'Defender 50th' and the 'Heritage' with possibly the best known special being the 'Tomb Raider' from 2000, which was created to commemorate Land Rover's role in the first film of that franchise. Designed to look like an off-road expedition vehicle, they were finished in Bonatti Grey metallic paint with special badging and details and came equipped with a roof rack and roof rack support system (looking similar to a roll-cage), additional spotlights, winch, bull-bar, raised air-intake and Pewter Grey 'Boost' alloy wheels. Internally they were complemented by 'Black Quest' fabric seats, black leather steering wheel, air conditioning and a stereo cassette radio. Limited to a run of 250, they were available either as a 90" or 110" double cab, with standard TD5 engines.This UK-supplied right-hand drive Defender 90 was first registered in May 2002 and has been enjoyed by three former keepers. With a recorded mileage of just 34,504 miles at the time of viewing, it remains in outstanding condition throughout and this-low production run Land Rover Tomb Raider would make the perfect addition to any Land Rover collection. It will be presented at sale fully serviced and issued with a fresh MOT. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: DEFENDER 90 TD5 Year: 2002 Chassis Number: SALLDVB871A621128 Registration Number: GF02 GNU Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 10P28734B Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 34504 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
#111 of the final run of 300 German-manufactured, right-hand drive Beetles, finished in Diamond Silver and in wonderful condition. Offered with No Reserve. The Volkswagen Beetle enjoyed staggering success for many years, and in 1972 became the best-selling car to date, with total production worldwide exceeding 15,000,000 vehicles. However, by that time, the Beetle was starting to seem dated compared with much of the modern competition and sales were flagging. In an attempt to maintain interest, Volkswagen produced numerous special edition models during the final years of European production. These included the Jeans Beetle, City Beetle, Sun Bug and Marathon Beetle, to name just a few. Despite these efforts, the Beetle was now effectively past its 'sell-by-date' with sales continuing to decline and the last European-built car left the production line in Emden, Germany on the 19th January 1978, immediately taking early retirement in the Wolfsburg Auto Museum. In 1978, to mark the occasion, the final run of 300 German-manufactured right-hand drive Beetles were all finished in the very special Diamond Silver (L97A) paint colour; they were also all fitted with a 1,200cc engine (the most famous of all), blue-corded velour trim, a flat windscreen (as a nod to the past), heated rear window, fresh air blower and a handbrake dash-light. Finally, a dashboard-mounted plaque stated the vehicle's number in the sequence.The car presented here, example #111, is known throughout the VW owners club and features on the official LEB register. Reading an unwarranted mileage of just over 10,000, #111 was the subject of a sympathetic restoration between 2011-2013 and is in lovely condition. The Jubilee Silver paintwork is bright, and the interior is immaculate. All brightwork and chrome are 'as new', the glass is original and the engine bay is tidy. The car has formed part of a small private Collection since 2015, being driven only occasionally, MOT’d and maintained well and several invoices detailing expenditure and a 2015 service by respected VW specialist ‘Veedubs’ are present in the accompanying history file. The LEB was produced in smaller numbers than any previous special-edition Beetle and, in our opinion, is a very significant collector's car or would make an ideal first classic for an enthusiast at a most reasonable outlay.Specification Make: VOLKSWAGEN Model: BEETLE LAST EDITION Year: 1978 Chassis Number: 1182007277 Registration Number: YTA 167S Transmission: Manual Engine Number: D1417446 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 10000 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images
