1983 Rover SD1 3500 SE- Fitted with a KAT body kit - Much sought after 3500 V8 mated to an automatic gearbox- Credible 91,880 milesAwarded the prestigious accolade of "European Car of the Year" at its launch in 1976, the Rover SD1 was the first vehicle to come out of the newly formed Special Division of British Leyland (hence SD1). The ground breaking hatchback, with design cues from the Ferrari Daytona and clever product placement by the marketing team, with appearances in The Professionals and The New Avengers, made the SD1 an instant hit with company executives. With order books filling up right from the off. Finished in White matched to a Brown interior 'A28 HAD' is fitted with a KAT body kit which it is understood to have retained for many years and is a much sought after 3500 V8 mated to an automatic gearbox. It's understood the engine was replaced in 1991 and currently displays a credible 91,880 miles. The vendor currently rates the paintwork and bodywork as 'Good' however informs us the SD1 has not been run for some time and the fuel pump has a fault.

Lot 101

1962 Triumph TR3B- 1 of just 3,331 of the final batch of TR3's- Subject to a sympathetic and detailed restoration- Converted to righthand driveThe TR3Bs were the final batch of 3,331 TR3s built solely for the American market in 1962. The first 500 TSF series examples were equipped with the 1991cc engine mated to the all-synchromesh gearbox of the TR4, while the ensuing TCF series versions featured both the 2138cc engine and TR4 gearbox. The sale car is a TSF model that was repatriated from the USA in 1993, upon which it was treated to a sympathetic and detailed restoration, including conversion to righthand drive. Ill health has prevented any subsequent use of the car, meaning the next keeper will be the first name on the V5 and all NOVA documents are in place for the vehicle to be UK registered. The vendor rates the bodywork, interior trim, engine and transmission as 'excellent' and the paintwork as 'very good', and is offering this lovely TR with Heritage Certificate and MOT, plus history including photos of the restoration.

1940 Studebaker Champion Coupe- Reportedly resident in Portugal from new until 2015- Understood to have professional " nut and bolt " restoration - Engine,gearbox,bodywork,paintwork,interior and electrical descrivbed as excellent By the late 1930s Studebaker's sales were in sharp decline but rather than cut costs the management gambled everything on a clean sheet design. Launched in April 1939, the resultant Champion was the lightest car in its class. The Indiana-based company's engineers had acquired models from four domestic and four foreign competitors and meticulously stripped them to see where weight could be saved. Equipped with a 2700cc straight-six engine, manual transmission, independent front suspension and hydraulic drum brakes, the Champion could reputedly return almost 33mpg (a figure no rival could match). The first Studebaker to be penned by Raymond Loewy's renowned industrial design studio, initial variants comprised a four-door Cruising Sedan, two-door Club Sedan or three-passenger Coupe. Stealing a march on America's `Big Three' manufacturers, the Champion returned Studebaker to profitability.Finished in Tan with Tan / Brown upholstery, this left-hand drive example is described by the vendor as `excellent' with regard to its engine, gearbox, bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment and interior trim. Reportedly resident in Portugal from new until being imported to the UK in 2015-16, the Studebaker is further understood to have been treated to a professional `nut and bolt' restoration and to `drive superbly'. A decidedly rare sight on British roads, it is worthy of close inspection.

1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2- Delivered new to a Mr F A Croshas of Staffordshire by P J Evans of Birmingham- 88,500 miles from new- Offered with original owners' manual and service bookJaguar's now immortal E-Type made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show of 1961. Like the XK 120 before it, the newcomer was the fastest production car of its time - its 3.8-litre straight six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of just over seven seconds and a top speed of 150 mph. The model underwent its first major surgery in 1966 when, feeling there needed to be a version in which customers' children could share the E-Type experience, Jaguar introduced the 2+2 Fixed Head Coupe (known as the XKE in America, where most examples were sold). A rear bench seat was accommodated by increasing the wheelbase by nine inches and adding two inches to the roofline. The airy 2+2 however benefited from the same fully independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and disc brakes as its two-seat sibling. By now, the E-Type range was powered by a 4.2-litre version of the company's ubiquitous DOHC, straight-six engine, which developed 265bhp and 283 lb ft of torque. The first E-type model to be offered with automatic transmission, the 2+2 was in production for a total of five years, during which time some 5,599 Series 1 and 5,326 Series 2 examples were built.According to the accompanying Heritage Certificate, this home market Series 2 model vacated the factory on October 23, 1969 and was delivered to its first owner, a Mr F A Croshas of Tamworth, Staffs, by the dealer P J Evans of Birmingham. It was finished in Cream and trimmed in Black-piped White leather. A matching numbers car, its bodywork is still Cream in colour, but in recent times has been treated to a new Black interior and overhaul of its DOHC 4.2-litre XK engine. Currently registering 88,500 miles from new, the Jaguar comes complete with original owners' manual and service book.

Lot 107

1954 Triumph TR2Triumph's TR Series began with the unveiling of a prototype at the 1952 London Motorshow. It was built around the chassis of the pre-war Flying Nine, the suspension from the Mayflower and the engine out of the Vanguard. Trials showed it to handle poorly, however, and the design was not progressed - the improved TR2 being launched the following year instead. Motor magazine's road test of a TR2 in 1954 achieved 11.9 seconds for the 0-60mph sprint and an ultimate speed of over 107mph. The publication apparently commented that the Triumph was 'the lowest-priced British car able to exceed the magic 100mph barrier'. The test vehicle concerned was priced at £900 with taxes, and included £56 for the optional overdrive. The model was a success for Triumph, who achieved their aim of making a two-seater Roadster of appeal to the American market. A total of 8,628 TR2s were built, just 2,823 of which were for the home market.This exceedingly handsome original 'home market' example was first registered in November 1954 and is one of the later 'short door' versions. The car has had just four owners since 1970 and was acquired by the last keeper some 10 years ago. It has just emerged from a decade-long body-off 'nut-and-bolt' restoration, during which it was treated to many replacement body panels and new: front disc brakes and 60-spoke powder-coated wire wheels; brightwork; front and rear lights; windscreen; tonneau cover; Red leather upholstery and carpets; and Moto-Lita steering wheel. The vendor regards the TR as 'being restored to a very high standard, with an as-new interior and detailed engine bay'. He is now offering it with extensive history file including photographic record of the restoration, TR Register correspondence, and old-style green logbook dating from 1970. A splendid specimen of an increasingly sought-after model.

1961 Austin-Healey Frogeye' Sprite- Described by vendor as excellent all round- Original chassis and engine- MOT till Aug 2018- In running order- History file including old MOT's and receiptsThe first generation Sprite was launched in Monte Carlo immediately prior to the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix and, thanks to its prominent bonnet-mounted headlights, quickly became known as the 'Frogeye' - a moniker that has stuck to this day. It's impossible not to smile at the sight of one, and this very original-looking 1961 example certainly looks capable of giving many years of happy motoring to its next keeper. Finished in arguably the best colour combination of White bodywork and Red interior trim, '788 JBJ' was restored in 2003 but retains its original chassis and 948cc A Series engine. It has apparently only had four owners from new and is presently regarded by the vendor as featuring 'excellent' bodywork, leather interior trim, paintwork, engine and manual gearbox. He is now offering it complete with comprehensive history file comprising lots of invoices and old MOTs, plus one valid until August 4th. How could you resist?

Lot 112

1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Speedster PLEASE NOTE: We have been contacted by David Titchener to say that he bought this lot new from Dick Lovett of Swindon and had it registered as 'THE 89S' (The '89 Speedster) PLEASE NOTE: We have been informed by the vendor's family that this lot retains its original front tyres. Apparently, the rear tyres were only replaced in April 2012 because of a nasty cut to the nearside one. They believe that the presence of the original front tyres lends further credibility to the odometer reading of 17,500 miles. PLEASE NOTE: This lot is now registered with the DVLA under the number plate 'G542 TTV' - 1 of just 64 UK-supplied (C16 specification) examples - Factory-fitted with 'Turbo look' bodywork and electrically adjustable sports seats - 17,500 recorded miles, original Blaupunkt Toronto stereo, tyre compressor and tool kit Given the 356 Speedster's cult status, it seems amazing that Porsche took twenty-five years to launch a similarly minimalist drop-top 911. Brainchild of Peter Schutz and Helmuth Bott (the company's then President and Technical Director respectively), the Carrera 3.2 Speedster was visually distinguished from its Cabriolet sibling by a bespoke, more steeply raked aluminium-framed windscreen, simplified hood hidden beneath a distinctive `double hump' moulded polyurethane tonneau cover, lower slung sports seats and frameless side windows. The work of in-house stylist Tony Lapine, its distinctive lines were enhanced still further by the option of `Turbo-look' bodywork (which also entailed uprated suspension and brake components). A strict two-seater unlike the rest of the 911 range, it was powered by a 3164cc flat-six engine allied to the preferred G50 five-speed manual transmission. Living up to its name, the Speedster was capable of 0-60mph in 6 seconds and 152mph. Although previewed as a concept car at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show, the model did not enter production until January 1989. Notable as the last 911 variant to be derived from the same basic bodyshell as the 1963 original, the Carrera 3.2 Speedster was also the final 911 to be assembled at the old Zuffenhausen factory. Known internally as Option M503, the last of 2,104 examples rolled off the production line during July 1989. All but 171 customers specified the more dramatic `Turbo-look' bodywork with America and Germany proving the biggest markets. Of the 129 right-hand drive Speedsters made, just 64 were to UK `C16' specification. Embracing the less is more philosophy, Porsche charged a not insubstantial premium for the Speedster despite terming its roof a `rain hat' and demanding that original purchasers sign a disclaimer as to water and wind ingress! One of the sixty-four UK cars, chassis WPOZZZ91ZKS151277 was built to the following specification: Impact absorbers front and rear (058), Blaupunkt Toronto Radio Cassette player (330), Sports seat left, electric height adjustment (383), Sports seat right, electric height adjustment (387), Front and rear spoiler delete - i.e. none fitted (470), Turbo-look bodywork (491), Amplifier (494), Luggage compartment velour carpet (975), Guards Red paint (L80K) and Cashmere Beige upholstery (LC). First road registered as `THE 89S' on August 1st 1989, it had had three previous keepers prior to entering the current ownership twenty years ago the last of whom was Christopher Nowicki of Loughborough. Although, the vendor's ill health means that the low recorded mileage of 17,500 cannot be warranted, it certainly appears correct. Factory stickers are still present in the door jamb and under the luggage compartment lid. Pleasingly retaining its original engine and running well during our recent photography visit, we could not discern any sign of previous accident damage or repair. Maintained in-house by the owner's ex-Holbay mechanic, the Speedster still carries its original space saver spare wheel (with unused Vredstein tyre), Porsche plug-in air compressor, jack, tool roll and Blaupunkt stereo (complete with instructions). Issued with an `advisory free' MOT certificate which runs until January 2nd 2019, the two-seater is currently undergoing a cherished number plate transfer. Rare, desirable and coming to market for the first time since 1998, this seemingly low mileage `C16' Speedster is worthy of close inspection.

Lot 113

1932 Invicta 12/45 Saloon- Original Buff logbook from post-war period- Comprehensive history file- Said to be only one of two remainingSeeking something constructive to do following WWI, Hugh Eric Orr-Ewing and Noel Campbell Macklin established, in quick succession, the Eric-Campbell and Silver Hawk marques. However, neither satisfied the restless Macklin who (financed by Earl Fitzwilliam and the Lyle brothers of sugar fame) then created the rakishly-British Invicta brand. No stranger to marketing, Macklin organised for his attractive sister-in-law Violette Cordery to head an endurance test at Monza, at which four international and 33 Italian records were broken. 1930 brought the 4.5 Litre S-Type model with which Donald Healey had great success in the Alpine and Monte Carlo rallies and Raymond Mays set records at Brooklands and Shelsley Walsh. However, largely as a result of the Wall Street crash, Invicta ceased trading in 1933 and Macklin went on to create the Railton marque with Reid Railton.The Invicta now offered is a rare survivor of the 1.5 model introduced in 1932 in an attempt to widen the marque's appeal. Indeed, 'EK 8896' appears to be one of just two Saloon-bodied examples remaining, which is probably due in no small part to its first owner's lengthy retention - a story documented in the January 1949 issue of Motor Sport. Subsequent keepers include one the very first vintage car collectors and ERA owner Dudley Gahagan and, more recently, former Invicta club registrar Duncan McGregor, during whose tenure 'EK 8896' shared a garage with Mays's aforementioned Shelsey and Brooklands record breaking car. The sale car's files document most of it post-war history and include: some lovely shots of it at Oulton park in the '50s, various bills, owners reports regarding work undertaken, and an original buff log book from the post-war period. With 4.5 Litre examples now in the £1-2million bracket, 'EK 8896' is a relatively affordable route to acquiring a rare survivor of the Invicta marque.

The similarly styled, but mechanically unrelated, 190 followed in 1955, completing the first generation of cars. Their successor was the W113 series. The last of the line, the 280 SL, was launched in 1968. Blessed with the same effortlessly elegant Paul Bracq styling as its earlier siblings, it was powered by a new seven bearing crankshaft 2,781cc straight-six engine that developed 170bhp and 180lb ft of torque. The SL was equipped with all-round independent suspension - double wishbones and coil springs at the front and coil sprung swing axles at the rear. Braking was by power assisted on all corners and steering was by recirculating ball. The car's 'square' track gave notably sure-footed handling. Able to blur the divide between city streets and open roads with ease, the majority of 280 SLs were specified with four-speed automatic gearboxes and power assisted steering. Some 23,885 were made by the time production ceased in 1971, virtually half of which were exported to the USA. This popular W113 series of cars was replaced by the all new and substantially heavier R107 350SL/450SL range.The 280 SL on offer is a lefthand drive, automatic transmission 1970 example finished in the appealing combination of Silver bodywork and Black upholstery. Apparently supplied new to the US market, it was imported into the UK in 1990. Recent attention has included a body respray, engine overhaul and the installation of a period radio at the cost of £390. `H990 EGU' is now being sold complete with hard and soft tops, service book, Mercedes-Benz dating document, collection of invoices, and an MOT valid into February next year. A chance to acquire a matching chassis and engine number example of the most desirable of all 113 series SLs.

Lot 121

1982 Rolls-Royce Corniche- Once owned by Kenny Baker ( R2D2 ) of Star Wars fame- Compreshensive history file- Sumptuous blue hide interiorThe first production Rolls-Royces to bear the Corniche moniker were the Coupe and Convertible versions of the Silver Shadow launched in 1971. In common with the Saloon, the newcomers were penned by in-house designer John Polwhele Blatchley and the underbody and floorpan crafted by Pressed Steel Fisher. Initial assembly was then carried out by Mulliner Park Ward of Willesden, London - by then a wholly-owned division of Rolls-Royce. At this stage the cars were transported to the main factory in Crewe for the installation of the running gear, before returning to London for the trimming, painting and finishing. Power was provided by the company's venerable all-alloy 6.75-litre V8. This was mated to a GM Turbo Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic transmission. Suspension was independent by coil springs all round, augmented by a Citroen-originated hydraulic self-levelling system. Braking was by discs, with ventilated units being phased in for 1972.Though not immediately dubbed as such, the Series II version of the Corniche arrived in 1977, bringing with it rack and pinion steering and alloy and rubber bumpers in place of the previous chrome items. It was also notable for a switch to alloy for the radiator manufacture and the addition of an oil cooler. Running changes included the adoption of the rear suspension from the Silver Spirit, Flying Lady mascot and Bosch fuel injection.The apparently very tidy Mulliner Park Ward-bodied Corniche II Fixed Head Coupe now offered is a May 1982 example reputedly once owned by the English actor Kenny baker; best known for portraying the character R2-D2 in Star Wars. It features Metallic Blue coachwork teamed with sumptuous Blue hide interior trim, Blue Everflex roof and near new lambs wool blue overmats. The car's total mileage to date is understood to be 76,000 and it comes complete with an MOT valid into March of next year.

Lot 122

1971 Marcos GT- Current ownership since 1970s- £25,000 plus comprehensive restoration- 3000 miles since restorationMarcos was founded in 1959 by Jem Marsh and Frank Costin, and it was Costin's earlier work on the De Havilland Mosquito that led to the newcomer's first monocoque chassis being constructed from marine plywood. The later Luton-built versions benefited from less radical styling by Dennis Adams and were powered by a range of Ford engines. Nine Xylons and 13 Luton Gullwings saw the light of day, many of which were raced - light and nimble, they were very successful; especially in the hands of Jackie Stewart, Jackie Oliver and Marsh himself.Costin left the company in 1961, following which all design matters fell to Dennis Adams and his brother Peter, and it was their GT of 1964 that really put Marcos on the map. By 1969 the famous wooden chassis had been usurped by a more conventional steel one, and by 1971 Ford V6 power had been exchanged for that of the Volvo straight-six engine. 1965 had witnessed the debut of the successful Malcolm Newell-penned Mini Marcos kit car while, contrary to popular opinion, the ensuing Mantis M70 2+2 sold well, and it was problems over an American export shipment that forced Marcos into liquidation in 1972.This Marcos is a 1971 example of the popular GT, powered by the 3-Litre Volvo engine of the time. Stunningly presented, it is finished in a fetching shade of Orange that's teamed with Cream-coloured hide and Red carpets. It has been in the current ownership for all but two years of its life, and served as the main source of transport for the vendor until the mid-'80s. In recent times it was treated to a comprehensive £25,000-plus restoration, since when it has travelled a mere 3,000 miles. This pristine example of the marque is now offered complete with photographic record of the work carried out and MOT valid into July.

1966 Aston Martin DB6 PLEASE NOTE: A faulty brake master cylinder has prevented the vendor from submitting this lot for MOT testing as planned and as such it does not possess a current / valid MOT certificate. The vendor has purchased a reconditioned brake master cylinder from Aston Engineering of Derby and this can be forwarded to the successful purchaser on an exchange basis. PLEASE NOTE: The saleroom estimate for this lot is now 160,000 - 200,000 - Current ownership since 1972 and less than 81,000 recorded miles - Matching chassis and engine numbers, ZF five-speed manual gearbox - Taken off the road in 1979 and reupholstered by Chisholm to include headlining, door cards, carpets and boot - Treated to a bare metal repaint some eight years ago plus new windscreen, unleaded cylinder head conversion (Aston Engineering), fresh tyres, electronic ignition etc Unveiled at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 was notable for being the first Aston Martin model to be engineered following the company's move from Feltham to Newport Pagnell. Although, a direct development of the DB5, with the same visage, the newcomer enjoyed notably better high-speed stability thanks to the provision of a Kamm tail with built-in spoiler, and superior interior space courtesy of a 3.7-inch longer wheelbase and taller roofline. Grafted over a sheet steel platform chassis, the four-seater's hand-finished aluminium panels helped contribute to the claimed kerb weight of 3,232lbs that was actually only 17lbs heavier than its predecessor. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its poise and handling, the DB6 employed all-round coil-sprung suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by the fabulous Tadek Marek designed 3995cc DOHC straight-six engine, the model boasted some 282bhp and 280lbft of torque in standard tune and could be had with five-speed ZF manual or three-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission. A contemporary road test found a manual DB6 to be capable of 0-60mph in 7.4 seconds and 150mph. A total of 1,327 MKI Saloons were produced between October 1965 and the MKII's July 1969 arrival. First registered in Newcastle-upon-Tyne as 'LVK 37D' on 11th January 1966, this particular example - chassis DB6/2470/R - entered the current ownership some six years later. Acquired from a local acquaintance who is believed to have been its second keeper at an indicated 63,000 miles, the Aston Martin was pressed into service as an everyday car. The vendor and his wife finding that its back seats were capacious enough to take their boys to rugby practice and its potent straight-six untroubled by towing the family speedboat. Laid-up in a heated garage during 1979 due to the demands of a busy veterinary practice, the DB6 was nonetheless treated to much work over the next two years. The sills and jacking points were replaced and repairs made to the suspension location points. The rear axle was overhauled by Roadstyles, the flywheel renewed and a fresh clutch fitted (complete with associated slave cylinder and hose). Newport Pagnell-trained, Chisholm not only reupholstered the seats in Red leather but also installed a new headlining, door cards and carpets. Thereafter, the suspension was refurbished with new parts as necessary, while a thorough overhaul of the brake system saw the callipers stripped and uprated with stainless steel pistons, the discs / pads renewed and various cables / hoses replaced. The radiator was recored, an electric fuel pump added and the triple SU carburettors rejuvenated. The rev counter was recalibrated and a stainless steel exhaust fitted. New wire wheels were sourced along with new electric window motors and wing shields / rubber seals. More recent fettling carried out over the past eight years or so has encompassed a bare metal respray in its original Silver Birch livery and an upgrade to electronic ignition. The windscreen and badging have been renewed as have the four tyres / tubes. The factory-fitted engine (number 400/2379) has had its cylinder head converted to unleaded by Aston Engineering. Starting readily upon inspection and manoeuvring easily whilst being photographed, it is hoped but not guaranteed that 'LVK 37D' will possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. Kept in a heated garage for the past thirty-nine years and coming to market for the first time since 1972, this appealing DB6 shows a highly credible 81,000 miles to its odometer and is offered for sale with continuation green logbook, cloth cover, original handbook, workshop manual, Heritage Certificate, sundry old MOTs dating back to 1974 and numerous parts receipts.

The trailer features benches down both sides with wooden ladders hinging up and down to act as passenger restraints. Said to have been extensively restored whilst resident in a New Jersey museum for many years, it sports `Itty Bitty Fire Co' livery and a complement of fire-fighting equipment: extinguisher, hose, axe, bell, siren and lights etc. A guaranteed head turner and perhaps welcome at the likes of the Goodwood Revival, the `hook and ladder' is the only one of its kind outside of America. All four examples still exist and the last one to cross the block made$115,500 with Barrett Jackson in 2015! Founded by radio pioneer Powel Crosley, Crosley Motors Inc switched from two- to four-cylinder engines after WW2 adopting the innovative 44ci (722cc) CoBra (Copper Brazed) overhead camshaft unit which had proven its worth as a generator aboard PT boats and Boeing B17 Flying Fortresses. Evolving into the CIBA (Cast Iron Block Assembly) version for 1949, the OHC powerplant developed a quoted 26.5hp and 32.5lbft of torque and was allied to three-speed manual transmission. Current from late 1948 until Crosley closed its doors on July 3rd 1952, the CD Four could be had as a Sedan, Coupe, Convertible, Station Wagon, Pickup or Panel Truck. A Crosley won the first race at Sebring and famous owners included Humphrey Bogart and President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The diminutive width of the Crosley at 48 inches is because they weren't sold through dealerships but department stores, and they had to get them through the doors!

Available with a choice of 2.25-litre petrol or 2-litre diesel engines, the Series II accounted for some 62,000 sales in its first two years of production. In 1961, the subtly upgraded Series IIA benefited from an improved cooling system and is thought to have been the most successful variant, with sales around 1969/70 believed to have reached 60,000 units a year.The vendor advises this lovely-looking 88-inch Series IIA is something of a movie star; being one of two used in the forthcoming 3D live-action animated comedy film Peter Rabbit based around the famous characters created by Beatrix Potter. We are informed it was used for location shots in the Lake District wearing a false registration. Mr McGregor is played here by Domhnall Gleeson and his feud with the famous rabbit voiced by James Corden will be released in UK cinemas shortly having been on worldwide release since February.Acquired from film vehicle suppliers Action 99 Cars, HJM 774H is powered by a 2.25-litre petrol engine and was manufactured in 1969. Finished in a most attractive shade of Pastel Green with Tan interior, it is said to drive as good as it looks and will be accompanied by a fresh MoT in time for the sale. The seats have been refurbished and the Landie is described as being in "excellent" condition regarding its bodywork, paintwork, engine and transmission with "very good" interior, the vendor noting it would however now benefit from new door window rubbers.With values of Series One Land Rovers reaching giddying heights it cannot be long before the Series Twos follow and such a fine example with the added bonus of movie stardom is a very attractive proposition.

The standard version of the XK8 was powered by a 290bhp normally-aspirated version of the company's AJ26 V8 engine, and for those requiring more performance Jaguar offered a supercharged version, the mighty XKR. Like the XK8, this 370bhp monster was available in closed or open guise and could hit 60mph in a whisker over five seconds and power quickly to the electronically-limited top speed of 155mph.Finished in Black with Ivory interior and registering c.76,000 miles, this example is described as having "very good" bodywork, paintwork, engine and transmission with "good" interior.

Suspension was independent with coil springs at the front and by live axle hung on semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear. Braking was by Lockheed drums all-round, and steering was by rack and pinion.This largely unrestored matching numbers UK market RHD example is one of just 210 cars produced in 1955 and was first registered on 23 March 1956. Originally finished in Mineral Blue, at some point it has been resprayed red. In previous long-term ownership, the vendor recently acquired the car but due to having too many demands on his time from other cars in his collection has decided to reoffer it for sale. Featuring good panel gaps although requiring attention to the cosmetics, this desirable home market car appears to be in very original condition aside from the colour change. The updated Swansea V5C document has now been received from the DVLA and will be forwarded to the successful purchaser. A rare opportunity to acquire an original righthand drive MGA in unmolested condition.

1976 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Veloce- First encountered by the vendor when he sold it to the first owner whilst working at Bell & Colvill - Current ownership since 2000 and warranted 52,000 miles from new- History file (including Bell & Colvill paperwork), MOT'd till June 2018Introduced in 1970 the second series of Alfa Romeo's iconic Spider Veloce was visually distinguished by a subtly revised grille, more raked windscreen, fashionable cut-off 'Kamm Tail' and new door handles. Designed and built by Pininfarina, the newcomer's two-door monocoque bodyshell incorporated the same sophisticated independent front suspension, five-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel disc brakes as its 'Duetto' predecessor. Initially powered by a 1779cc version of Alfa Romeo's jewel-like four-cylinder 'twin-cam' engine, the second series cars were upgraded to 1962cc during 1971. With a quoted 132bhp and 134lbft on tap, the 2000 Spider Veloce was reputedly capable of over 120mph. Great fun to drive, the model evolved through third and fourth series remaining in production until 1993.First encountering 'MPG 407P' when he sold it new whilst working at Bell & Colvill, the vendor was also responsible for supplying the Spider to a subsequent keeper before buying it back for his own use during 2000. Repainted shortly thereafter, the Alfa Romeo is warranted to have covered just 52,000 miles from new. Pleasingly retaining its original engine, 'MPG 407P' is described by the vendor as being in 'very good overall' condition. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, MOT certificate valid until June 2018 and history file (including Bell & Colvill paperwork).

Lot 21

1959 Triumph TR3A- Supplied new to America and repatriated by Murray Scott-Nelson during 1989- Subsequently treated to a photo documented, chassis up restoration by Mr B. Watson with assistance from the Northern TR Centre- Current ownership for five and a half years during which time the car has benefited from attention to its clutch, fuel system, cooling system, carburettors and headlights etc- Comes with a large history file, uprated 2138cc engine and full weather equipmentFinal evolution of the Triumph TR2/TR3 sportscar line (save for the American market TR3B), the TR3A was introduced in September 1957. Great fun to drive, its tough boxed section chassis featured independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a leaf sprung 'live' rear axle and disc / drum brakes. Fitted with a 1991cc four-cylinder OHV unit developing some 104bhp and 117lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of 110mph. A great sales success on both sides of the Atlantic, the model provided a rather more visceral alternative to its MG and Jaguar competition.According to an accompanying extract from the production records of The Standard Motor Company Ltd, this particular example was built on 24th September 1959 and originally finished in Signal Red with Black upholstery and Black weather equipment. Supplied new to America, it was repatriated in 1989 by sportscar dealer Murray Scott-Nelson. Treated to an extensive, chassis-up, bare metal restoration by its first UK keeper, Mr B. Watson of Clifford, Wetherby, the work included conversion to right-hand drive and the installation of a more powerful TR3B / TR4 specification 2138cc four-cylinder OHV engine. The Northern TR Centre provided any necessary replacement parts and the refurbishment was documented via numerous photos. Converted to run on unleaded petrol as part of an engine overhaul carried out during 2002, `SSK 972' entered the current ownership a decade later. Progressively improved since then, the Triumph has benefited from attention to its fuel system (new tank, pump and lines), cooling system (water pump, hoses, gauges and thermostat), clutch (renewed), headlights and carburettors (overhauled). Showing an unwarranted 39,000 miles to its odometer and sporting full weather equipment, this handsome TR3A is described by the vendor as being in `good' (electrical equipment, interior trim, paintwork) or `very good' (2138cc engine, four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission, bodywork) overall condition. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, restoration photo album, large history file and MOT certificate valid until October 2018.

Lot 23

1955 MG TF 1500- First RHD production example- Current ownership for 10 years- Treated to a restoration in the mid 1990'sAn attractive righthand drive example of this increasingly sought-after MG model, '256 CMG' is presented in White with contrasting Red interior trim. It rides on chrome wire wheels and comes complete with tonneau cover and luggage rack, as well a selection of invoices, old MOTs and photos of the car before it was treated to a restoration in the mid-'90s. Also included in the file is a letter written by its keeper back in 1988, from which we learn the MG was first registered on the first of January 1955 and originally finished in Pale Metallic Green, that he was only the third owner, and that by then it'd been fitted with a Gold Seal replacement engine. In fact, lengthy retention would appear to have been a feature of this TF's life to date, as the vendor has himself hung onto the car for 10 years. Another item of correspondence, an email to the 2007 owner from the TF Registrar of the MG Car Club, confirms that the first batch of TF 1500s produced comprised 150 cars, 149 of which were reserved for American enthusiasts and only '256 CMG' retained for sale at home, making it the very first of its kind. The first post-war MG, the TC, bore great similarity to the pre-war TB and was superseded by the TD in 1950. Though visually similar to the earlier cars, it was built around the more modern chassis of the Y-Type Saloon, and it was around the uprated MKII TD that the TF of 1953 was based. Intended as an interim model pending the arrival of the upcoming MGA, its fared-in headlights and sloping radiator grille ensured more modern looks, and for the last year of manufacture the engine capacity was increased to 1,466cc. Just 3,400 of these so-called TF 1500s were ultimately produced.
