1995 BMW M3 Coupé (E36) Transmission: automaticMileage:67000Hagerty describes this specific model as 'The BMW that cemented the winning formula for the M3' with the E36 replacing the E30 in 1995. The US Spec M3 doesn't have the full fat M3 engine and Hagerty says 'I'm here to say that's a good thing'. If you look back through history, no repairs bills, the US spec M3 'is the one to have'. A civilised high performance road car that dramatically outperforms any other 3 series. Oh! And the cylinder head comes from none other than a McLaren F1 racing car. Performance is only down by one to two tenths of a second on the 'full fat' M3 to 60 mph. The E36 has won numerous accolades spanning 15 years with the best car magazines in the world. Under the bonnet, the E36 M3 is powered by a 3.0 litre inline-six engine, producing 240 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. It is equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard, with an optional six-speed manual gearbox available on later models or an automatic option. No snap oversteer here, which is a BMW handling feature.This early, left hand drive 1995 BMW E36 M3 Coupé is fitted with the rare automatic gearbox and privacy glass, it was imported from Japan in March 2022 and is supplied with a good Japanese service history. Work carried out here in the UK includes a service, refreshed brake calipers with upgraded Brembo pads, HID light upgrade, Toyo Proxies tyres, a MoT test certificate which expires in March 2024 and a new Pioneer Apple head unit. Finished in black with black leather interior with M Sport decals, this M3 is supplied with a V5C registration document and a file containing the Japanese service history and a photographic record of restoration works undertaken. The BMW E36 M3 Coupé is an impressive sports car that offers exceptional performance and a stylish design. This example is wonderful in every aspect, the gearbox is silky smooth, handling is sublime and performance is progressively rapid and on demand. This is a car you will want in your collection. Guide Price £12,000-£17,000

1959 Vauxhall Cresta PA Transmission: manualMileage:80326With demand for American styled cars in the UK soaring, Vauxhall announced the PA series Cresta in 1957, with styling cues from its older General Motors siblings such as tail fins, wrap around windscreen, whitewall tyres and lashings of chrome. Power came from the tried and tested 2,262cc straight six-engine from the previous Cresta E, and a larger 2,651cc engine became available from 1960. The PA Cresta sold well, with a total of 81,841 produced, of which it is understood according to HowManyLeft, that only 32 cars are currently registered in the UK with a further 13 cars registered as SORN.Our vendor purchased this example 26 years ago but only got around to restoring it around five or six years ago. The car underwent a total rotisserie restoration and now presents in exceptional condition, probably even better than when it left the factory 64 years ago. The engine and gearbox have both been fully rebuilt and we are told the car drives superbly. Our vendor has owned a large number of classic cars in his life and as such has picked up an excellent knowledge on restoration over the years, so he was able to carry out a large bulk of the work himself in his workshop. The paintwork and interior were entrusted to specialists and have both been finished to an excellent standard. The paintwork has a deep shine all over and the split white and blue colour scheme is the original colour from the factory. Some parts were very difficult to obtain, the bonnet badge alone cost the vendor £1,500 as it was in such high demand. Being a pre-facelift example, this Cresta has the attractive three-piece rear window, opposed to the later single wrap around rear screen. This is sure to be one of the finest Cresta PA's in existence and with such scarcity of parts and soaring labour costs, it would be very hard to replicate such a restoration for a fraction of the estimate price.

1976 Alfa Romeo GT Junior Transmission: manualMileage:47500Mention Alfa Romeos from the 1960s and 1970s and what usually springs to mind is the marque's 105 Series Coupé, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Bertone and considered to be one of his greatest designs. Not only as one of the best looking and handling classic saloon cars of the period, but the advanced specification, with its five-speed gearbox, all-round disc brakes, independent suspension, and powerful twin-cam engine, still has the capability to embarrass many of its modern counterparts.This 1976 Alfa Romeo GT Junior (105 two-door coupé) is presented in lovely red coach work and has previously successfully circuit raced in South Africa under a FIA Historic Passport (since expired). Its specification included a balanced two litre Nord engine with Group One cams, custom exhaust system, remote oil cooler, bespoke aluminium radiator, Watts linkage rose-jointed rear suspension, camber adjustable front suspension, bespoke front anti-roll bar with rose-jointed drop links, four-pot front brakes, 4.3FD LSD differential, lightweight doors and boot lid, Perspex side windows and a stripped interior with six-point roll cage.Imported to the UK in 2017, the Alfa has recently been subject to a major restoration and conversion to 'Fast Road' specification. Work carried out included an overhaul of the suspension components and bodyshell repairs where required, with the underside treated with Bilt Hamber Dynax. Numerous new parts, mainly sourced from Classic Alfa and Alfaholics with invoices in the history file, were fitted including Weber twin 40DCOEs and alloy mounts, fuel pump and Malpassi regulator, Cobra Monaco Pro bucket seats (in date), Nardi Signature steering wheel, custom sump guard, electronic ignition unit, Bosch blue coil, plugs and leads, and rebuilt brake calipers. Externally the car was treated to new head lamps and rings, tail lamps, sidelights, lightweight bonnet, GTA alloy wheels with Michelin tyres, windscreen, chrome surround and seal, wiper arms and blades. Further new parts include a clutch master cylinder, adjustable front top-arms, lowered Eibach springs and Koni yellow dampers, spring pans, complemented by zinc-plated front suspension arms with Lemforder ball joints. Most recently, a new starter motor, master switch and battery were fitted; the list goes on but this should give a good indication.Since the restoration and some would say softening to 'Fast Road' specification, Peter Smart Classic Alfas carried out a full health check including setting up the Weber carbs and engine timing and adjusting the suspension settings. Finally, they carried out a full respray in period-correct Alfa Rosso. The car shows as Historic status on its V5C registration document and is therefore MoT and Tax exempt. It is a high-performance, classic car that can be driven to 'cars and coffee' runs or enjoyed once again on the track, either way it is a beautiful and iconic Alfa Romeo.

1979 Porsche 928 Transmission: automaticMileage:91302Porsche's intended replacement for the 911 may not have achieved that particular goal, but it wasn't from a lack of performance or technological wizardry. An alloy V8 was attached to a rear-mounted gearbox and the galvanised body had aluminium doors and bonnet. The 928 was launched to a fanfare and surprised many by being named 'European Car of the Year'. Critics immediately recognised the advances inherent in the 928 over the 911 and the car was universally praised as one of the greatest 'GT' cars of all time. It handled, was quick, comfortable and looked fantastic. With the 928, Porsche created a serious long-distance grand-touring car that could also tackle twisting B-roads with ease, thanks to super-direct steering, 50/50 weight distribution and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted. Many road testers found that their nerve ran out long before the 928's grip. Styling was the same in both 1978 and 1979, with the body lacking both front and rear spoilers. The distinctive rounded rear end without a spoiler is an unmistakable distinguishing feature of the early 928 and is now considered the purest example of the design.This early example of this now very retro design of the iconic Porsche 928 is presented in red with tan/black checkered interior. It was purchased by the late owner in 1990 and used sparingly whilst in his ownership. Its mighty 4500cc V8 engine is mated to an automatic gearbox which always provided plenty of power when needed and with a superb driving position, Porsche thus created the ultimate executive sports coupé. The car comes with its driver's manual, original maintenance records which go as far back as 1979 and has a current MoT test certificate which expires in August 2024. We are informed that there appears to be a small leak in the power steering hose, which was an advisory when the MoT test was carried out but not an essential repair, hence its pass certificate. The odometer reading is currently 91,302 but within the paperwork, one can see that there appears to be discrepancy in this recorded mileage, with no explanation. A great opportunity to purchase one of Porsche's greatest models and being offered with no reserve, this provides the option to purchase at a fraction of its original selling price back in 1979. The car has not been used regularly for a while and although it has a MoT and it starts and drives, we would recommend some re commissioning would be necessary. 

1966 Ford Lotus Cortina Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:In 1961, Colin Chapman was commissioned by Harry Mundy to design a twin cam version of the Ford Kent engine and its first appearance was at the Nürburgring in a Lotus 23 driven by Jim Clark. Soon after, the engine appeared in the Lotus Elan. During the engine's development, Walter Hayes at Ford, asked Colin Chapman to fit the twin cam into 1,000 Ford saloons for Group 2 racing homologation. Chapman accepted the contract and the type 28, or Lotus Cortina as it became known, was born. Whilst Ford supplied the two door bodyshells and took care of the marketing, Lotus engineered the mechanical and cosmetic changes which included the 1558cc engine along with the Elan's close-ratio gearbox, front quarter bumpers and Lotus badges. They also made changes to the interior with a new centre console to accommodate the revised gear lever position, different seats and a later styled dashboard that incorporated a tachometer, odometer, oil pressure, water temperature and fuel gauges. A wood rimmed steering wheel was the finishing touch.This delightful Cortina was originally exported to the US. It was then repatriated to the UK in 2012 and registered with the DVLA on the index number MCY 135D. The car had a total nut and bolt ground-up restoration and was then sold to an Austrian collector. It was featured in a six-page article in a magazine, such is the quality of this Lotus Cortina. Still in left hand guise, the car has once again been repatriated to the UK and at the time of writing, the vendor is communicating with the DVLA to have the car re-registered onto the same number-MCY 135D. This is expected to be completed prior to the auction. The restoration included a full engine rebuild and the fitment of electronic ignition. We are advised this Mk. I Lotus Cortina drives as good as it looks and is sure to appeal to both collectors and investors. With prices of fast Fords rising rapidly this is sure to be a hit.

1954 Land Rover Series I (86") Transmission: manualMileage:5400In the aftermath of the Second World War, Rover's chief engineer Maurice Wilks used a 'demobbed' Willys Jeep around his farm in Anglesey and was impressed with its abilities. Eventually, it wore out and he was keen to replace it with a British vehicle, however, nothing remotely similar was available. Coincidentally, his brother Spencer, who was Managing Director at Rover, had reached the same conclusion as he struggled to get his Rover 10 to reach the more inaccessible parts of his estate on Islay. This is where `The Best 4x4 by Far' started - a utility vehicle devised in 1947, they would have no idea that Maurice's resulting design would become an icon and launch a whole new industry sector. The vehicle appeared as the 'Land Rover' in 1948 and proved so popular with the military and the farming fraternity that demand massively outstripped supply.Originally registered on 1st January 1954, this Land Rover was completely restored by the previous owner over a five-year period. He purchased the car in June 2017 as a project and turned it into a truly excellent example. The chassis was shotblasted and the outriggers replaced where necessary, it was then rustproofed and painted accordingly. The bodywork was bare metal stripped and any corrosion cut-out and repaired as needed. The paintwork remains in exceptional condition with all the body panels visually straight. Mechanically, this Series I has been exceptionally well cared for, the engine was stripped and rebuilt and a new clutch fitted. The gearbox has new bearings and the brakes have been completely overhauled. This MoT and tax exempt 86 inch Series I, is supplied with a V5C registration document. With a ruggedness associated with the marque, yet steeped in history and tradition, viewing of this Land Rover is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality of the restoration. Our vendor purchased the car around eighteen months ago, having driven Land Rover's for his whole life and always hankering after a nice Series I. He has covered around 1,000 care-free miles in this excellent example but with a growing family has decided it is now time for its next custodian to enjoy it the way it deserves.

1979 Moto Guzzi V1000 G5 Transmission: manualMileage:Moto Guzzi is an Italian motorcycle manufacturer and the oldest European manufacturer in continuous motorcycle production. Established in 1921, the company is noted for its historic role in Italy's motorcycling manufacture, its prominence worldwide in motorcycle racing and industry innovations. Since 2004, Moto Guzzi has been a wholly owned subsidiary, and one of seven brands owned by Piaggio & C. SpA.This beautiful Moto Guzzi was originally registered on 1st November 1979 and has been fully restored by the vendor over a three-year period. It was purchased as 'a bit of a wreck' in his words. In deciding to rebuild the bike he decided to change the style into a Café Racer. The list of work is extensive. To begin with the frame and wheels were powder coated and the engine was fully rebuilt, with new Gilardoni 88mm pistons, rings and barrel kit. New valves, guides and springs were fitted and the bike has been set-up by Dynojet Research achieving an impressive 55bhp on their rolling road. Fuel is delivered via twin Dellorto PHF 36 carburettors and the gearbox was sent to Germany and rebuilt by HMB Guzzi. The brake calipers front and rear were rebuilt by Powerhouse, the front discs were custom made by EBC and the master cylinder is by Brembo. The front forks were rebuilt by Steve Jordan Motorcycles and the rear shock absorbers are Hagon adjustables. The driveshaft and rear drive box has been rebuilt, with new UJ's and seals fitted. A new wiring loom was custom made and fitted, a new Bosch starter motor has been fitted and this V1000 has a Ricks Motorsport alternator. The result of this significant time and investment is a superb looking motorcycle, however the vendor has said this Moto Guzzi runs well and sounds great, it will though need a good shakedown and final set-up. A particularly handsome Italian machine.Guide £5,500-£8,500

1936 Mercedes-Benz 544K Replica Transmission: automaticMileage:6833The Mercedes-Benz 500K (W29) is a grand touring car built by Mercedes-Benz between 1934 and 1936. First exhibited at the 1934 Berlin Motor Show it carried the factory designation W29. Distinguished from the 500 saloon by the 'K' for Kompressor (German for supercharger), only fitted to these performance cars, it succeeded the Mercedes-Benz 380 introduced just the previous year. It offered both a larger, more powerful engine and more opulent coachwork to meet customers' demands for greater luxury and performance. With genuine examples of the 500K Roadsters changing hands for well over $5million, it is not everyone that can afford such a slice of automotive perfection that is a supercharged W29 Mercedes 500K. The car on offer here however is a bit easier on the pocket, and although not built in the Sindelfingen factory, certainly looks like it could have been. It is a very rare replica of the even rarer 1936 544K Mercedes Benz convertible built by Thoroughbred Motorcars Inc. in the USA. They are said to have made around 200 such replicas, and as a consequence they are highly sought-after in their own right. Built in the late 1980s at a cost of over $100,000, this incredible machine is guaranteed to stop the traffic. It has a huge specification, including a Ford 302 5.0 litre V8, coupled to a C-4 automatic gearbox, power steering and brakes. Inside, the passengers will find proper wind-up windows, JVC CD player with power aerial, sumptuous grey leather upholstery, wooden dash, front and rear seatbelts, and air conditioning - all which make for a luxurious and safe ride. Externally the car sits on white wall tyres fitted to chrome rimmed 'wire basket' wheels, and has twin sidemounts, huge headlights, twin tone horns, suicide doors, landau bars, faux external exhausts and a thermometer radiator ornament. This rare four seat model has a removable padded hard top to protect the rear passengers and tonneau cover. If you are looking to attract a huge crowd of admirers wherever you go or save over $5million, this must be the perfect way to go about it!Interested parties should note that contrary to the catalogue description, the odometer reading for this vehicle is 6,833.

1974 Citroën DS 23 Safari Seven Seat Transmission: manualMileage:55510After 18 years of secret development, the DS 19 was introduced on 5th October 1955 at the Paris Motor Show. In the first 15 minutes of the show, 743 orders were taken and orders for the first day totalled 12,000 cars. To a France still deep in reconstruction after the devastation of World War II, the DS was a symbol of French ingenuity. It was the first mass-production car with front power disc brakes. It also featured hydro pneumatic suspension including an automatic self-levelling system, variable ground clearance, power-steering, a semi-automatic transmission and a fibreglass roof which reduced weight. It also sported inboard front brakes as well as independent suspension. Despite the rather leisurely acceleration afforded by its four-cylinder engine, the DS was successful in motorsports like rallying, where sustained speeds on poor surfaces are paramount. It won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1959 and, controversially in 1966, after the disqualification of the BMC Mini Cooper team. The Citroën DS placed fifth on Automobile Magazine's '100 Coolest Cars' listing in 2005. It was also named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car magazine after a poll of 20 world-renowned car designers. Originally registered on 19th August 1974, this UK supplied, right hand drive Citroën DS 23 seven seat Safari presents in splendid condition. The 2347cc engine runs well and is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. These larger engine DS models are delightful to drive, offering a good performance and a ride that is difficult to surpass. Finished in brown with light brown velour interior, this Safari offers a significant load space as well as being very stylish. Supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in October 2024, the original handbook pack and a file containing an original sales brochure, some invoices and old MoT test certificates. These Citroëns are an automotive masterpiece, offering beauty, functionality, and practicality in one package.

1988 Peugeot 205 GTi (1.6 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:113268The 1988 Peugeot 205 1.6 GTi stands as an icon of the hot hatch era, blending performance and style. Its compact frame housed a spirited 1.6 litre engine, delivering 105 horsepower to the front wheels through a close-ratio five-speed gearbox. With nimble handling, the GTi offered a thrilling driving experience, becoming a favourite on both city streets and rally courses. The distinctive design featured flared wheel arches, a sporty stance, and the signature 'GTi' badging. This model's blend of power, agility, and French flair cemented its status as a sought-after classic, celebrated by enthusiasts and remembered as a symbol of automotive enthusiasm.Originally registered in August 1988, this iconic GTi presents well in red paintwork. This 'hot hatch' benefitted from a recent recommissioning and has a large file of MoT test certificates and invoices for earlier maintenance work. The interior has a time warp feel showing little sign of age. The dashboard is in good order having not succumbed to the cracking and sun damage so often seen in cars of this age. We are informed that the switchgear and interior controls are of a good standard and are reported to be working well, as is the factory fitted glass sunroof. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and a valid MoT test certificate, this 205 would make a perfect addition to any GTi collection.

1966 Triumph TR4A IRS Transmission: manualMileage:A wonderful mix of British brawn and Italian style, the Michelotti-styled TR4 was powered by a torquey 2,138cc four-cylinder twin-carb engine mated to an all-synchro four-speed box that could launch the car to 60mph in 10.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 105mph. Optional Laycock de Normanville electrically operated overdrive could now be selected for second and third gear as well as fourth, effectively providing the TR4 with a seven-speed close ratio gearbox. In 1965 the car gained a new chassis with more sophisticated independent rear suspension (in place of the old live axle) for more predictable handling and an improved ride, these models being known as the TR4A. By the time production ceased in mid-1967, some 28,450 TR4As had been sold, the vast majority to the American market. First registered in Hertfordshire in June 1966, this UK market TR4A comes with a large history file extending back to the early 1980s. Between 1993 and 1999 it was treated to a body-off restoration by Revington TR Ltd of Somerset with many new panels fitted along with new bumpers and a full repaint in British Racing Green. It appears that it also had a substantial mechanical overhaul but as all the invoices only list part numbers,  it is hard to be sure exactly what was done. A new set of carpets, new inertia reel seatbelts and a new double duck hood were certainly fitted. A few photos show the restoration in progress and confirm that it was a chassis-up job. An invoice shows that the engine was rebuilt by Worcester Classic Cars in December 2020 with new pistons and liners and a rebuilt cylinder head and it has not covered many miles since. A new radiator, new rear springs and a Revotec cooling fan have also been fitted in recent years. We are informed this attractive TR4A drove well on a recent 40 mile test with the driver reporting that it went well with the overdrive working as it should.

2015 Land Rover Defender 110 XS Transmission: manualMileage:77697The Land Rover Defender was launched in 1948 and, incredibly, production only finished in January 2016 after a continuous run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 vehicles from the Series III Land Rover. A full-length bonnet, revised grille, plus the fitting of wheel arch extensions to cover wider-track axles are the most noticeable changes. Internally, coil springs offered a more comfortable ride and a permanent four-wheel drive system derived from the Range Rover featuring a two-speed transfer gearbox with a lockable centre differential. A modernised interior and a new series of progressively more powerful and modern engine characterised things under the skin. In August 2011, Land Rover announced an update of the Defender for the 2012 model year. By this time, Land Rover publicly acknowledged that it was working on a project to produce an all-new replacement for the Defender. Then in line for the 2012 models was the installation of a different engine Ford decided, due to cost reasons, not to modify the engine introduced in 2007 and so the engine was replaced with the ZSD-422 engine, essentially a 2.2 litre variant of the same engine. Ordered new from Harwoods Pulborough, the Land Rover Defender 110 XS offered here was first registered on 17thJanuary 2015. Bought to be used to attend various shows and fairs to promote the vendor's pickle and latterly curry sauce companies, it was specified in Indus Silver with Ebony Black leather premium seat pack, air conditioning, tow ball with drop plate and electrics, as well as first and second row mats and a rubber load liner. An Autoglym interior protection, bodywork gloss shield and glass guard treatment was applied from new and has certainly helped preserve its excellent condition through to today. The accompanying service history shows great care has been adorned upon the vehicle, with Land Rover servicing it through until 2018 before SLR Automotive took over carrying out their most recent service just under 3,000 miles ago. The floorpans had started to show some signs of corrosion and so the vendor had them all replaced to maintain its incredible condition. For sale now due to a lack of use since the Covid lockdowns, the vendor reports this fantastic Defender to run and drive extremely well. Supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate valid through until 30th January 2024 and a comprehensive service history. A rare opportunity not to be missed to acquire a one owner, highly specified, late model Defender in a desirable colour combination.Interested parties should note that the reserve on this vehicle has been lowered and the new estimate is £18,000-£24,000.

Saab 95 Hearse Transmission: automaticMileage:81669The Saab 95 Hearse by Coleman Milne is a unique and dignified vehicle designed to serve as a funeral carriage. Based on the Saab 95, a classic Swedish saloon car, this hearse model has been meticulously customised to fulfil its solemn role. Coleman Milne, a renowned coachbuilder, transforms the Saab 95 into an elegant and purposeful hearse. The vehicle's sleek lines and luxurious interior provide a serene and respectful atmosphere for the deceased. With a focus on craftsmanship and attention to detail, the Saab 95 Hearse by Coleman Milne offers a dignified and respectful way to transport the departed on their final journey.This low mileage example was registered in October 2000 and benefits from a multi-function steering wheel, air conditioning, electric windows, central locking, remote alarm and a CD player. We are informed that the 2.0 litre engine mated to an automatic gearbox offers a good combination of performance and economy. This example has four seats and panel sides in place of the original glass making it an extremely comfortable and quiet. This is an alternative to a conventional van and an ideal platform to be sign written. This unusual but practical Saab is presented to auction with a good service history and an MoT test certificate valid until October 2024. When new, similar examples cost in excess of £100,000 making this example offered without reserve even more attractive.

1976 Aston Martin AM Vantage Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:48588The Aston Martin AM Vantage was the first model produced by the new Aston Martin team after their purchase of the company from David Brown. Numerous improvements were made to the DBS6 on which the car was based, the most significant of these being the change in the frontal styling to incorporate single headlamps rather than the twin headlight set up used in the DBS. The car was produced during 1972/3 and only 70 of this model were manufactured, thus making it a rare motor car. All these fantastic cars were 'Vantage-engined' to the highest state of tune for this engine 'SVC'. They represent a special place in Aston Martin history as they were the last six-cylinder cars with a heritage stemming from the greatest era of the firm's racing history and the last to be fitted with wire wheels. The model benefited from many improvements developed and implemented throughout the five years of DBS production, including many mechanical and cosmetic changes. Of most significance and, like the last fifty examples of the DBS, the car used the same later 'dog-leg' ZF five-speed gearbox as used in the DBSV8. It is notable that, though the V8-engined model with the same bodystyle was introduced in 1970, demand for the six-cylinder AM Vantage continued through 1973 until the factory no longer offered the alternative. Though the V8-engined cars are fine in their own right, this affection and appreciation for the six-cylinder cars has had a direct bearing on demand and they now command a premium in the market up to 50% higher than their V8 counterpart.Originally registered on 3rd March 1976 this Aston Martin presents beautifully in Stronsay Silver with a sumptuous burgundy leather interior. Prior to the sale to the previous owner in 2013 the car was extensively restored by respected marque specialists Runneymede Motor Company, one of the most attractive things about the car at the time was the 44,000 miles showing on the odometer. During the restoration the body was stripped back to bare metal and repainted in its current colour, the paint finish being of a very high quality. The engine was rebuilt and upgraded to 4.2 litres. The automatic transmission was upgraded to a five-speed T5 Tremac gearbox with an uprated clutch. A Harvey Bailey handling kit was also fitted transforming the handling of this AM Vantage. A new wiring loom was fitted along with additional soundproofing. Supplied with a V5C registration document, together with a significant history folder confirming the extent of the restoration. This quintessentially British sports car is offered for sale with a sensible reserve given the condition and mileage, we are proud to present this Aston Martin to the market. Come and see for yourself why this car is special"¦.you won't be disappointed.

1962 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Transmission: manualMileage:33564The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL is a two-door grand touring convertible which was produced between May 1955 and February 1963 with a prototype first shown at the 1954 New York Motor Show. It was sold alongside the faster, more expensive Mercedes-Benz 300 SL which it closely resembled both in its styling, engineering, detailing and fully independent suspension. However, the 190 SL did not use the 300 SL's purpose-built tubular spaceframe W198 platform but was built on a shortened monocoque R121 unit. The 190 SL was powered by a new 1.9 litre inline-four SOHC engine which developed 104bhp and was later also used in the W120, 180 and W121, 190 models. The four-cylinder engine block of the 190 SL was based on the six-cylinder engine of the 300 SL. The car was available either as a soft top convertible or with a removable hardtop.This example, like so many others, was originally exported to the United States, our vendor purchased the car in 2015 and imported it into the UK, first registering it in 2016. The car was bought with a project in mind and our vendor set about a total restoration from top to bottom, the decision was made to paint the car in a stunning Metallic Grey with a chocolate brown soft top and tobacco coloured interior, courtesy of Alridge trimming. The colours chosen give the car a very classy appearance and the interior, paintwork and chrome work have been finished to an exemplary standard throughout, the car must be seen to be fully appreciated. The original Solex carburettors have been retained and have been rebuilt and tuned. The engine and gearbox have been fully rebuilt and the engine runs beautifully, we are told the car is a joy to drive but it has only covered a small handful of miles since completion. The whole restoration took around six years in total, the result is a 190 SL which is in exceptional condition and would be at home in any collection of significant cars. It is hard to find a 190 SL which has been restored properly to this standard, on offer with a very reasonable estimate, this is sure to be one of the finest examples available and viewing is highly encouraged.

1991 Vauxhall Lotus Carlton Transmission: manualMileage:17823The Lotus Carlton was a Vauxhall Carlton upgraded by Lotus Cars to be a 177mph sports saloon with acceleration to equal contemporary supercars. When released, it was the fastest four-door saloon car in the world. The external differences were minimal with the addition of a rear spoiler, air intakes on the bonnet, Lotus badges on the front wings and bootlid, a bodykit and considerably wider wheel arches. The car was only sold in one colour, a shade of British Racing Green called Imperial Green, a very dark green that in anything but direct light appears black. Lotus re-worked the 2969cc, 24V straight six used in the Carlton GSi and bored it out to 3615cc. In addition, twin Garrett T25 turbochargers were attached resulting in 377bhp and torque at 419lb/ft. Power was transmitted through a six-speed ZF manual gearbox and power was driven to the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential. The brakes were supplied by AP with 330mm ventilated discs all round and racing calipers. This absolutely stunning low mileage example of this brutish British saloon is probable the one of the finest examples of this model being offered to the marketplace presently. Offered in its original Imperial Green Pearlescent paintwork (as all the models were when produced) and with a black anthracite connolly leather interior (standard also), both of which are exemplary in their condition. It comes with a very good history including, Lotus book, Certificate of Provenance, old MoT test certificates and a present MoT test certificate which expires in October 2024. The car's current private registration is being retained by the current owner and an age-related plate will be issued by the DVLA. This is the best example of this model we have ever seen and it is undoubtably one for the collector/investor. Simply unbeatable in every way!Interested parties should note that the private registration plate shown is to be retained by the vendor and a new, age-related registration issued instead. The correct registration is shown in the catalogue, and we are awaiting receipt of the new V5 registration document from DVLA which may not be present at the time of the auction.

2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom VII Transmission: automaticMileage:65403A historic model in the continuing history of the Rolls-Royce marque, the Phantom was the first all new design to be introduced by the company following its takeover by BMW. Produced at a new factory near Goodwood in Sussex, the Phantom revived a great name from Rolls-Royce's past that had always been synonymous with unrestrained luxury. In keeping with the tradition established by previous Phantoms, the newcomer was a very large motor car, outstretching the old Silver Seraph (the last Crewe-built Rolls-Royce) by 18 while boasting a radiator shell 4 taller. Priced at around £260,000 at time of launch, it was also 40% more expensive. At 140 ½", the new car's wheelbase was only fractionally shorter than that of the superseded Phantom VI that had ceased production in the 1990s; gone however, was the old pushrod V8 engine, its place being taken by an all-new 48 valve V12 of 6.7 litre capacity. Despite being normally aspirated, the latter produced 460bhp, comfortably exceeding the old engine's maximum when turbo-charged, albeit at a high 5,300 revolutions. This abundance of power was transmitted to the rear axle via a six-speed automatic gearbox, while air-sprung suspension and automatic level control ensured that ride quality remained uncompromised. While the body structure represented the ultimate in automotive technology, its accoutrements remained entirely traditional in choice of materials, consisting of the finest hide trim, genuine woollen carpets, and carefully selected wood veneers. Originally registered on 1st January 2005, this regal Phantom VII is finished in the superb colour combination of Jet Black with a Moccasin interior. To be expected from such a prestigious marque, the car is well appointed with standard features including electric memory seats, heated seats, cruise control, air conditioning, telephone, inbuilt passenger entertainment system together with leather interior and a significant amount of Birdseye Maple wooden facias. This well cared for example has a superb service history, with nine stamps in the accompanying service book as well as many invoices for servicing carried out by marque specialists such as P&A Wood, Silver Lady and Rolls-Royce themselves. Having paid £92,000 for the car in 2016 from Kahn Automobiles, it came supplied with a set of 'Split 6' Kahn design wheels, which the car still adorns today. Having covered only just over 10,000 miles in the vehicle, the vendor reports the car to run and drive very well, having enjoyed very much his seven years custodianship with the car. Supplied with a V5C registration document together with a current MoT test certificate valid until 16th April 2024 and the original service books, this relatively low mileage Rolls-Royce Phantom VII really needs to be seen to be appreciated and is offered with a very reasonable estimate.Interested parties should note that the rear seat adjustment and rear heated seat controls have a fault and currently aren’t working.

1985 Porsche 911 / 930 Turbo Transmission: manualMileage:71800In the early 1970's, Porsche had designs on racing a turbocharged version of the 911 and the Porsche 911 Turbo or 930 was born. It was the fastest production car available on the market. Adding this level of power to the already powerful car created a vehicle that was not for the faint hearted. In skilled hands, however, a 930 will show a clean pair of heels to most of its rivals. It was based around the Carrera RS 3.0, the engine from which was modified, courtesy of turbo technology. Initially, power output was 260bhp but from 1978, it was increased to 300bhp by raising the engine capacity to 3.3 litres as is the case in this instance.First registered on 8th August 1985, this fabulous black on black unmodified genuine C16 UK supplied 930 Turbo is not only stunning but ready to use and enjoy having had thousands lavished on it by our vendor, notably to the bodywork and engine. In addition to the extensive engine work the turbo was rebuilt, a new clutch and gearbox synchros. A recent oil service by Uber GT is coupled to a full engine rebuild by Northway Porsche at 70,000 miles before running in and all of the necessary and recommended work thereafter has been carried out by the renowned Porsche specialists.Evidence of this work is all found within the impressive history file with detailed invoices and comprehensively stamped service booklet. The bodywork is superb with a deep gloss as you would hope with this iconic car and importantly there are no signs of any corrosion, the black leather interior looks original and in keeping with the age of the car with good bolsters and a fine finish. Our vendor informs us that the car drives superbly and the engine pulls as strong as he would hope providing, as it should, a very visceral and engaging experience. The fuel system has had the necessary work to ensure that this 930 drives as you would expect, work includes reconditioned fuel distributor, pressure regulator, along with new coil pack and ignition amplifier. Michelin PS4 tyres were fitted within the last 1,000 miles and it is used regularly to keep the fluids flowing. There is a Blaupunkt Bremen fitted which looks the part of course. Recent work is in excess of £25,000 so you have the confidence you are buying a great car. The 930 Turbo is incredibly collectable, and this example not only has looks to die for but the mechanical confidence to back it up. A true icon and sure to retain its value in the coming years.* Interested parties should note that the private registration plate shown is to be retained by the vendor and a new, age-related registration issued instead

1968 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:12000The Chevrolet Corvette is instantly recognisable by the marque aficionado and non-aficionado alike. The first model, a convertible, was designed by Harley Earl and introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept show car. Originally built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, the Corvette, today, is manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The third generation Corvette, the C3, was designed along the lines of the Mako Shark II concept car and was introduced for the 1968 model year continuing in production until 1982. Engines and chassis components were mostly carried over from the C2 but the body and interior were all new.This Chevrolet is an incredibly rare example of a model that was only produced for one year, 1968. It benefits from having a matching numbers 327c.i. engine and four-speed manual gearbox producing some 350hp. It has also been comprehensively restored to original factory specification in Safari Yellow with a contrasting black weave interior and black convertible top. It sits atop period rally wheels and whitewall radial tyres and has travelled very few miles since its restoration. Accompanying this Corvette are two detailed files relating to its history as well as the 1968 handbooks. So significant is it, that this actual car was referred to by the television series, 'Car SOS' hosted by Tim Shaw and Fuzz Townshend. Imported to the UK in 2013, this very good Corvette C3 has been treated to various works in recent years including a new exhaust, bushes, radial arms, new plugs and HT leads, and a new screen at a cost of circa £6,500. Supplied with a V5C registration document and many old MoT test certificates. Rare convertible Corvettes are hard to source, and so further inspection is certainly recommended in this instance.

1976 Porsche 911 Targa 'Restomod' Transmission: manualMileage:6000The Porsche 911 was developed as a much more powerful, larger, more comfortable replacement for the Porsche 356, the company's first model and essentially a sporting evolution of the Volkswagen Beetle. The new car made its public debut at the 1963 Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung, better known to English speakers as the Frankfurt Motor Show. After 11 years in production, the 911 received its first serious facelift. In line with the times, the visual changes radically altered the way it looked - all in the name of US safety legislation. The 1974 model was nothing less than a step-change in direction for the 911 which was now becoming a much more civilised car to own. 1974 saw the introduction of calmer engines which produced lower power but more torque and were fuel injected by Bosch for smoother, cleaner and more economical running.This fabulous car started out as a 1976 Porsche 911 Targa and then had a full, no expense, spared ground-up restoration and modernisation which was carried out by 911 Rennsport at their custom, state of the art facility in the Cotswolds during 2018. Finished in correct period colour code of Mode Grau, it is built into a late G50 fully galvanised bodyshell and all steel front and rear (wide) arches. It has composite lightweight front and rear bumpers with period correct mouldings and is fitted with a late 3.2 Carrera engine with the desirable G50 five-speed gearbox fitted, which received a complete rebuild to Rennsport blueprint specification. It has Bosch Motronic fuel injection and a stainless-steel performance exhaust system, full Porsche 930 turbo brake system fitted with genuine aluminium four-pot calipers, short anti squat RSR aluminium rear trailing arms, updated 930 turbo torsion bars and anti-roll bars. It has a fully insulated interior trimmed in one-off hand-woven black lamb leather with Alcantara. The car was returned to Rennsport annually for servicing and maintenance and was last serviced in June 2023 with only 5,000 dry miles carried out since its rebuild. This absolutely stunning car was used by 911 Rennsport as their Goodwood Revival show car in 2018 and featured in Total 911 magazine February 2019, to which a copy of the magazine will be provided with the sale. It was registered in January 1976 and is therefore road tax, ULEZ and MoT exempt. This is a truly beautiful looking Porsche which always had the looks but has since been enhanced with subtle modifications.

1967 Jaguar E-Type Series I 2+2 Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:18618Launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type was nothing short of a revelation. With its heady blend of supercar performance, breathtaking styling and low price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. Early sportscar racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement its reputation. Built as a monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent road holding and handling capabilities. The Jaguar E-Type Series I 2+2 was designed to be a more practical version of the legendary E-Type, with a longer wheelbase and additional interior space. It was produced from 1966 to 1967, and it featured a 4.2 litre inline-six engine that produced 265 horsepower. One of the most notable features of the Jaguar E-Type Series I 2+2 is its sleek and timeless design. The car has a long, flowing hood and a low-slung profile that gives it a sense of speed and power. The body of the car is made of lightweight aluminium, which helps to reduce its overall weight and improve its performance.This 4.2 litre Series I E-Type rolled down the production line in 1967. Its left hand drive configuration saw it dispatched to America, where it remained until it was repatriated some six years ago. On returning to the UK, the car was subjected to a full rebuild returning the steering wheel to the right hand side, easy enough to alter when you are taking a car back to a bare shell. The restoration was competed in March of 2020 and the DVLA then issued it with its first UK V5C registration document.  The restoration work was carried out by Rushton Engineering in Devon. They have been rebuilding E-Types since 1987 and a quick trawl of their website, reveals the bold claim as to the quality of their work: "œOur normal restorations are aimed at an as new standard but are always better. We can restore to the exact factory specification, fit subtle upgrades or simply use modern technology to enhance your driving experience."When presented for restoration the car was white but it was decided to return it to its original colour and it was repainted in a rather fetching Opalescent Blue. The panel gaps appear in great shape and undoubtedly better than those created on a 1960s. The paint finish is still excellent as is the extensive chrome which was either completely replaced or re-chromed.The same level of care and attention has been given to the interior. The burgundy leather seats are supple and supportive. It is not only the seats that have had a retrim, door cards, dash and centre console have all been lavished with attention. The boot has been retrimmed too and is ready to receive a modicum of luggage. The 2+2 E-Type Coupé is surprisingly practical, so no need to travel light on those weekends away. There are also some notable upgrades including air conditioning which makes sense, ideal for those warm summer days. The period looking radio hides a secret, it is actually a modern DAB unit in disguise, so no crackly old MW and last, but by no means least, drop your hand from the delightful wood-rimmed steering wheel and it will fall upon the gear stick, with the power to now control an uprated five-speed Getrag gearbox which modernises the drive to be useable on modern roads and in traffic especially cruising at higher speeds. This was coupled to new stainless-steel exhaust, suspension components and brakes upgraded to Fosseway vented four-pot discs. The engine was rebuilt, having the valve guides and seals renewed and new high tensile studs were fitted. We are told the car drives beautifully, just as one would expect when restored by specialists to the highest of standards.Offered with a full photographic restoration CD, bills for maintenance and improvements since the restoration. This is a fabulously restored E-type with the added practicality a 2+2 brings and the potential to purchase a car for a fraction of what it would cost to restore to a car this standard.

2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom VII Transmission: automaticMileage:108883A historic model in the continuing history of the Rolls-Royce marque, the Phantom was the first all new design to be introduced by the company following its takeover by BMW. Produced at a new factory near Goodwood in Sussex, the Phantom revived a great name from Rolls-Royce's past that had always been synonymous with unrestrained luxury. In keeping with the tradition established by previous Phantoms, the newcomer was a very large motor car, outstretching the old Silver Seraph (the last Crewe-built Rolls-Royce) by 18 while boasting a radiator shell 4 taller. Priced at around £260,000 at time of launch, it was also 40% more expensive. At 140 ½", the new car's wheelbase was only fractionally shorter than that of the superseded Phantom VI that had ceased production in the 1990s; gone however, was the old pushrod V8 engine, its place being taken by an all-new 48 valve V12 of 6.7 litre capacity. Despite being normally aspirated, the latter produced 460bhp, comfortably exceeding the old engine's maximum when turbo-charged, albeit at a high 5,300 revolutions. This abundance of power was transmitted to the rear axle via a six-speed automatic gearbox, while air-sprung suspension and automatic level control ensured that ride quality remained uncompromised. While the body structure represented the ultimate in automotive technology, its accoutrements remained entirely traditional in choice of materials, consisting of the finest hide trim, genuine woollen carpets, and carefully selected wood veneers.This lovely Rolls-Royce Phantom VII was supplied directly from the Goodwood factory with a special ordered paint scheme of Black Adder Blue, a tan leather interior and light wood veneer, the car was also supplied with privacy glass to the rear and picnic tables. The current owner believes that the first owner was the actor and comedian Rowan Atkinson. This Phantom was looked after and serviced by P & A Wood in Great Easton, Dunmow, Essex up to December 2012. Shortly after that the car changed hands, it was wrapped in white and that is how it remained with little use, only 20,000 miles over the next ten years. The current owner purchased this Phantom in March 2016 when the car had covered 100,000 miles. In November 2021 he sent the car to Rolls-Royce Cars Manchester at 108,807 miles where they carried out a major service, fitted a new battery, a new radiator and auxiliary water pump, replaced the alternator seals, fitted a new SRS system wiring loom, changed the charcoal EVAP filter and replaced a number of the chrome body trims, the bill for this work came to over £15,000. When the owner decided to sell this Phantom, he had the body-wrap removed, this showed that the body was in very good condition, although it damaged the paint lacquer, so he had the car repainted matching the original Black Adder Blue paint. This Rolls-Royce is supplied with a new set of 18" wheels with new tyres, a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in October 2024, the owner's manual with service history and copies of the 2021 invoice from Rolls-Royce Manchester.

1961 Daimler SP250 'Ex-Metropolitan Police' Transmission: automaticMileage:93283In the late 1950s, the Metropolitan police had a major problem with café racer motorcyclists. Groups of youths on motorbikes would gather together at a local café, put a record on the jukebox and then race their bikes along a set course getting back to the café before the record had stopped playing. Accidents occurred and in an attempt to put a stop to the practice, the Met's proposal was to have a fast car that could actually catch the bikers. The existing fleet of Wolseley saloons was not up to the task so they looked instead at sports cars. The Daimler SP250 (Dart) was the answer! This had a 2.5 litre lightweight V8 engine and was capable of 125mph and 0-60 in 10 seconds, which for 1959 was remarkable. The Met bought 26 Darts between 1961 and 1964 and soon got them into service to be used as high-speed pursuit cars based at separate Traffic Garages situated over the London area. The results were impressive with many speeding bikers being caught and the number of fatal road accidents dropped. Unlike today, the idea then was that you see a police car and thereby slow down...no stealth tactics for these boys.Borg-Warner Model 8 three-speed automatic cars destined for police use, like the one offered here, were modified by Daimler with the fitting of a handle in the centre of the dashboard which, when pulled, locks the gearbox into second gear allowing a speed range from 0-85mph in a single gear. The gearbox normally runs in two gears only, with a 'low' ratio for manual selection if required and the slightly higher gearing resulted in an increased top speed compared to manual gearbox cars. The Metropolitan police found this to be better for town work and high-speed chases, and it was also found to be more economical, avoiding the clutch wear that a manual car would develop with usage between 18 and 24 hours a day.Traffic police in Bristol, Cambridge, Liverpool, Manchester, Southend and Surrey also used the SP250 for speed enforcement, as did police forces in Australia and New Zealand. After the opening of the first section of the M1 in 1959, the Bedfordshire police used the SP250 for motorway patrol prior to the arrival of the 70mph limit in 1965.This example was registered with the Metropolitan police and was fitted with the optional Borg-Warner DG automatic gearbox, Bell and Pye radio equipment, and has more recently been fitted with wire wheels and upgraded servo brakes. Supplied with the car is its original buff logbook confirming the first owner to be the Metropolitan police, records of previous ownership, press cuttings, old MoT records, sundry bills, and a current MoT valid until January 2024. Previously this Daimler has been reviewed in several articles including Police Car UK and Classic and Sports Car magazine. This Daimler is a must for any collector and offered without reserve this is a rare opportunity not to be missed.Guide price £40,000 - £60,000.

1977 Alfa Romeo Alfaholics Spider-R Transmission: manualMileage:1500A superb bespoke open-top performance car, known as the world's fastest Alfa Spider, and featuring new or refurbished parts throughout after a recent full engine and gearbox rebuild. Powered by an uprated and fuel-injected, MoTec ECU controlled Alfaholics 2.0 litre Twin Spark engine, producing 216bhp, coupled to a five-speed fast road specification strengthened gearbox with LSD sending power to the rear wheels. Restoration and upgrade work was completed by Alfaholics themselves, reference to this can be found not just online but on the Alfaholics website and with bills from our client. Using only the highest quality parts, this car is based upon the mechanicals of the GTA-R with the engine, brakes and suspension set-up and all bespoke built for an Alfaholics client.Based upon an original right hand drive UK-sourced Alfa Romeo Spider S2, which was first registered in 1977, this stunning example is presented in Bianco Nuvola. Subject to a six-figure build, the Alfaholics clients initial focus was the car becoming not only the fastest S2 Spider but also an incredibly capable track focused machine. Stiffening the chassis and lowering the floors were two of the biggest challenges taken on by Alfaholics in the build process but the car was equipped with a T45 ultra-lightweight custom cage, all installed below the car's waistline and tied into main tubing running the length of the floors inside the sill structures. The shell was fitted with lowered and ribbed floor pans, initially for racing seats but now enabling space for a taller driver.Its 2.0 litre Twin Spark engine has received a nut and bolt engine rebuild featuring a big valve head with race valve gear, billet rifle-drilled cams, billet H-section con-rods and forged coated pistons and new liners. It is now fitted with a MoTec Alfaholics programmable throttle body fuel injection system and an aluminium, foam-filled 55 litre fuel tank. An Alfaholics race paddle clutch kit is fitted and was set-up on a rolling road. The high-quality GTA-R suspension package includes Alfaholics extreme lightweight suspension trailing arms, wishbones and race aluminium T-Bar, aluminium adjustable shock absorbers, adjustable camber arms with revised bushings and a six-pot brake kit for enhanced stopping power. The car also features a number of bespoke parts created by Alfaholics, including a bespoke GTA style grille and door grab handles, designed by Alfaholics from scratch and milled from billet aluminium before being polished to a high shine.Since this build and under our vendors ownership, he has decided to soften what was an incredible track car to become the ultimate fast road example, this has included a raft of 2022/3 GTA-R Alfaholics parts more recently fitted. The gearbox originally a six-speed sequential track box is now a far more road usable five-speed example built and strengthened to fast road specification with a clutch designed for the road. The race spec seats were exchanged for a new Connolly leather retrimmed set of period bucket seats which we think suit the car better but still with three-point Corbeau belts on an inertia reel making it comfortable for road use but also secure for a car and passenger travelling at speed. The engine has also been fully rebuilt less than 1,500 miles ago and new Alfaholics GTA-R 2022/3 brakes and a full new 2022/3 Alfaholics electrical loom with MoTec ECU system has been fitted alongside new billet steering box, Alfaholics 10k racing propshaft and GTA-R road springs to name a few items. The bills within the history file show an incredible £56,000 plus maintenance and upgrade schedule which has been comprehensive over the past 24 months with a £12,000 interior, £13,000 gearbox and prop cost coupled to circa £32,000 on a MoTec loom and 2022 GTA-R parts and upgrades.To complement the new seats for road use, the car was beautifully re-trimmed in quilted Connolly burgundy leather, the rear section is trimmed to match as are the doors which are topped with black leather that extends across all of the car's interior including the dashboard, surrounding the car's dashboard dials which is now made of a bespoke Carbon fibre unit and converted to Race Technology Digital Dash in order to make best of the MoTec system found in the car. The central tunnel was reworked to be more road friendly, now with a pocket to store a phone and a letterbox glovebox was added for maps, sunglasses etc. added to the dashboard. The car is accompanied by a description of the restoration from Alfaholics and all maintenance invoices from the restoration itself, a full annual service history since the rebuild, with documents for recent upgrades and original documentation from the donor car. Recent invoices include a 2021 by Analogue Automotive Ltd. engine oil and filter change, a coolant change and the replacement of the hydraulic fluids. Prior to this, the car was serviced annually while in dry storage and most recently by Alfaholics themselves as part of the upgrade works in 2022/23.A VERY fast road version of Alfa Romeo's beautiful Spider S2, the Alfaholics Spider-R features tried and tested mechanical upgrades, which are shared with the acclaimed GTA-R. There are numerous other recent and car specific Alfaholics factory upgrades, which make it a capable companion for spirited weekend drives, cruising the city streets, going for dinner with the wife or nipping to the South of France. This car presents in excellent cosmetic and mechanical order and is now ready for the next owner who would be saving over £200,000 and a three year wait for Alfaholics to build you a new one.*Interested parties should note that the odometer reading is since the full engine rebuild.

1965 Ford Lotus Cortina Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:There are few road and racing cars more instantly recognised than a Lotus Cortina, with its green arrow pointing its way so clearly towards success. Using Ford's eponymous two-door saloon and Colin Chapman's fabulous twin-cam engine, the marriage was a match made in heaven. Chapman commissioned Harry Mundy, of Coventry Climax fame, to come-up with a twin-cam version of Ford's Kent engine. Keith Duckworth from Cosworth tuned the motor and the 1.6 litre unit was born. Together with the same close-ratio gearbox as the Elan, some drastically altered suspension and lightweight alloy panels used for doors, bonnet and boot, weight began to be shed and lap times dropped. The interior received an updated dash featuring the necessary dials, uprated seating and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. By 1966, the Lotus Cortina had earned an impressive competition reputation. Motor Sport greats such as Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, Vic Elford, Jack Sears, Sir John Whitmore, and Jacky Ickx all raced them and helped the car gain the iconic status it has today.This example of this iconic racing saloon is in race trim and race prepared with full roll cage, bucket seat and carries the usual Lotus Cortina livery. The present owner, who used to race the British Touring Car Championship in the 1960s against such luminaries as Jack Sears, Sir John Whitmore and Jim Clark to name a few, bought the car in early 2000s with the view he wanted to compete on the circuits with his son. Barwell Motorsport were instrumental in its preparation for competition with the scrutinizing input from the vendor to make sure the car was going to as competitive as possible at that time which it was! In 2002, on the rolling road, the car showed an output of 185 bhp which, considering its interior is stripped out for racing etc, it was a quick racing saloon and still is in the right hands of course! The car was first delivered to its new owner on 8th November 1965 as shown in the original buff log book and we believe that in the 1990s the car was converted for race use but there is no paperwork to support this timeline of the work carried out. The car is fitted with a power lock differential suitable for most circuits 4.5/1 and a further diff 4.2/1 for longer circuits, Bullet gearbox and racing clutch, modified half shafts extra strong, fully adjustable suspension and disc brakes all round, the engine has a solid billet crankshaft and modified camshafts up to date starter and alternator. Within the current vendor's ownership, the car has won many awards together with his son at the wheel, proving that it is indeed still capable of winning in the right hands as they were when driven in anger in period by Jim Clark etc. The car comes with a spare period engine, and a standard gearbox ( photographed), lots of smaller spare's, original drum brakes etc. original buff log book and various invoices showing expenditure over a period of years. A great opportunity to purchase an iconic racing saloon which is eligible for many historic events including the world famous Goodwood Revival (subject to invitation by Lord March).

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 GE Transmission: automaticMileage:110200If your idea of G-Class ownership doesn't involve oversized wheels, aftermarket body kits, or even a 5.5 litre fire-breather of an engine, but rather the original styling and everyday usability, this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 GE must be considered. It has nine previous keepers, a little over 100,000 miles on the clock, and custom registration 'G20 WAG'. Its blue bodywork further cements the understated styling and the grey interior is similar to what you'd find in a standard Mercedes-Benz saloon from that era.First registered in April 1991, over three decades ago, this example is powered by a three litre straight-six engine mated to an automatic gearbox. The dark blue colour scheme seems to be a great choice, and the paintwork is in good order. G20 WAG has done a little over a hundred thousand miles, and through the MoT records and its visual condition, it is clear that the underside bits have stood the tests of time and use. Currently with its ninth owner the odometer reads 110,200 miles and it is reported that it runs and drives very well indeed. Previously owned by the CEO of Howdens Kitchens the car resided in Scotland where it was maintained regardless of cost. £14,500 was spent on a complete retrim in grey leather as well as the respray in the blue paintwork you see today. The current vendor purchased the car in 2021 and drove the G-Wagon from Scotland to London before treating the 300 GE to a no expense spared service and maintenance program with Edward Hall Mercedes-Benz specialists costing circa £16,500! The work included a new head gasket, fuel lines, the underside was treated and undersealed, new alloy wheels, new all-terrain tyres and new side steps. The history file accompanying the car includes the original toolbox, many previous MoT test certificates, sundry bills including invoice's totalling circa £14,000 for interior retrimming and an overhaul and the more recent invoice for £16,500. Other works include £2,000 spent in 2010, the UK registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until April 2024. Offered with its private and fitting registration number, this is a superb opportunity to acquire a sound 300 GE!

2012 Ferrari FF Transmission: automaticMileage:45700Traditionally, Ferrari's four-seater models had offered little more than '2+2' accommodation, but in 2011 the Prancing Horse finally grasped that particular nettle and introduced its first car capable of carrying four adults in reasonable comfort: the FF. And as if that wasn't enough, the FF was also the first Ferrari production car to incorporate four-wheel drive. Introduced at the Geneva Salon in March 2011, the FF effectively replaced the 612 Scaglietti in Ferrari's range, though featuring a three-door shooting brake-style body rather than its predecessor's traditional two-door fastback. At the time of its introduction, the FF's 6.3-litre normally aspirated V12 was the largest engine ever to feature in a production Ferrari, its 651 horsepower being sufficient for a top speed of 208mph, making the FF the world's fastest four-seater at the time of its introduction, according to Maranello. This example was registered new on 1st January 2012 and is offered in Grigio Silverstone silver with full Campionario tan leather. Highly specified from new which includes aluminium brake calipers, carbon fibre central zone and driver zone + LEDS, sports exhaust pipes, semi aniline leather interior and headliner with special colour stitching, Scuderia Ferrari shields, parking camera, front and rear parking sensors, 20-inch forged diamond wheels and high power hi-fi system. Having covered a modest 45,700 miles from new the FF presents very well indeed. The interior is in excellent condition as is the paintwork having been treated to a no expense spared ceramic coating, covering the paintwork, interior, wheels, brake calipers and glass completed by GTechniq, with four years warranty remaining. The front end was also protected with PPF (paint protection film) ready for use. Maintained to a high standard throughout its life the FF has been serviced by Ferrari Main dealer and specialists from new and in 2022 it had an extensive gearbox rebuild under warranty.

1936 Daimler E20 Saloon Transmission: manualMileage:80702The E20 was manufactured between 1935 and 1939. It offered the choice of a coachbuilt saloon, Sports Saloon, Fixedhead Coupé and Drophead Coupé bodies on a notably stiff box section chassis that featured integral lubrication and jacking systems. The model was powered by an OHV straight-six engine with output of 19.3hp - sufficient for a top speed of almost 70mph. This was mated to a four-speed pre-selector gearbox via Daimler's patented fluid flywheel. Suspension was by semi-elliptic springs and beam axles all round and braking by Girling servo-assisted drums. The total production of E20s was 873, of which some 35 are known to have survived, making it a rare car today. Daimlers were the sole royal appointment cars up to 1950 and this magnificent 1936 example is very much in this tradition.This lovely Daimler E20 was originally registered on 29th July 1936. According to the current owner, it has only had two owners throughout its 80 years on the road and has covered the remarkably low mileage of 80,700 miles. The vendor purchased the car in the early 1980's from the deceased estate of the first owner Mr. Daubney, who became the chairman of the Daimler and Lanchester Owners' Club. As part of a wedding hire fleet, it has been registered on the V5C registration document with a couple of other keepers but has been in his ownership since its purchase. The vendor is a very knowledgeable classic car enthusiast and he has looked after the car exceedingly well, keeping it in a warm, heated environment. Space, comfort, luxury and visibility are offered in abundance with this vehicle. This lovely, totally original 1936 Daimler E20 is finished in Regal Black with Midnight Blue inserts and the original Midnight Blue leather interior. It is supplied with a V5C registration document and a MoT test certificate which expires in September 2024. This Daimler E20 offers a rare opportunity to purchase a delightful piece of British motoring history and the preferred means of transport for our Royal family up until the 1950's. 

1966 Morris Mini Cooper Mk. I (Fast Road Specification) Transmission: manualMileage:5258The history of this revolutionary motorcar is well known, its impact socially, culturally and mechanically is well documented. The Swinging Sixties, free love, The Beatles, Twiggy and the Mini are inexorably combined to represent an era that is remembered with great fondness by many people. The side story is the Mini's impact on motorsport and this is no less extraordinary. Issigonis' friend John Cooper, owner of the Cooper Car Company and designer and builder of Formula One and rally cars, saw the potential of the Mini for competition. The original 848cc engine was given a longer stroke to increase capacity to 997cc, boosting power from 34bhp to 55bhp. The car featured a racing-tuned engine, twin SU carburettors, a closer-ratio gearbox and front disc brakes, uncommon at the time in a small car. A more powerful Mini Cooper, dubbed the 'S', was then developed in tandem and released in 1963, featuring a 1071cc engine. The Mini Cooper S earned acclaim with Monte Carlo Rally victories in 1964, 1965 and 1967. Minis were initially placed first, second and third in the 1966 rally as well, but were disqualified after a badly judged decision by the French judges. Huge demand was also generated on the club scene and, quite rightly, continues today.First registered on 22nd August, 1966, this Mini Cooper is finished in tartan red with a contrasting black roof and black interior with a full size Webasto sunroof. In 1998, Wood & Pickett restored this car and it was featured in Mini World magazine. The shell has been replaced and a 1275 Cooper S engine has been bored out to 1,380cc by Osborne Automotive Preparation (OAP) with a balanced crankshaft, Kent 266 camshaft, adjustable timing gear, stage 3 gas-flowed, ported big valve head, twin 1½ SU's with K&N filters and AAA needles, Cooper S oil cooler and a two core radiator to name just a few upgrades. Getting the power to the road comes via a heavy duty competition clutch and four speed all-synchro Cooper S quick shift gearbox. Reigning in the power are servo assisted 7½ discs with dual calipers. Suspension is provided by Spax adjustable dampers sitting on 10 Minilites.The interior is kitted out with Paddy Hopkirk high back recliners and a Hopkirk rev counter. A Mk. III 130mph speedometer is showing circa 5,258 miles since the 1998 rebuild and supporting MoT test certificates verify this. Reported to be in very good order throughout in all respects, this pocket rocket Mk. I Cooper is certainly a fast road spec example and is supplied with a Heritage Certificate previous MoT records and sundry bills. This example offered at a very attractive estimate will certainly put a smile on the face of its new owner. 

2010 Bentley Continental Supersports Transmission: automaticMileage:58000Unveiled in 2003 at the Geneva Motor Show, the Continental GT was a different animal. The Crewe-built cars numbers were impressive with the twin-turbo, VAG 6.0 litre W12 engines, developed in the Volkswagen Phaeton and stillborn W12 sports car, producing 552bhp and 479lb ft torque. This prodigious output was fed through a six-speed automatic box from the new A8 and distributed by the Quattro four-wheel drive system. 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 196mph were significant for a car of this stature. Some six years later, also in Geneva, Bentley unveiled their new 621bhp Continental Supersports which was indecently quick with 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 204 mph, making it the fastest and the most powerful production Bentley ever. With a revised 'Tiptronic' automatic gearbox employing a 'quick-shift' system, gear change times were reduced by 50%. To cope with the increased power, it was necessary to have carbon fibre reinforced silicon carbide ceramic disc brakes - the largest and most powerful brakes ever fitted to a production car.As the Supersports evolved Bentley managed to accidentally create a very limited-edition car, the two seat examples were not selling as hoped because at the time most of the Bentley ownership comprised a demographic of drivers who wanted four seats and a softer ride. Enter the Supersports 'comfort seat' option, a four-seat option that still gave performance, clearly not that of the two-seater but it gave a very clean way for Bentley to exit what appeared to be a fabulous car but not for their then customer demographic.This example was supplied by Bentley Edinburgh in 2010 and was specified in Silver Tempest metallic with a Beluga hide and black Alcantara interior with Portland stitching. In typical Bentley fashion, the interior has leather on almost every surface, with carbon fibre trim and Alcantara inserts on the seats and door cards. The headlining is made up mostly of Alcantara too, with the control panel being covered in Beluga hide. The cabin of any Bentley Continental really is one of the best places to spend time in a car and the cabin of a Supersports makes the experience even better. The car is supplied with a comprehensive service history consisting of four visits to Bentley main agents and four visits to GC Motors, an independent prestige car dealer. The car has been serviced prior to the sale by Bentley Birmingham and has just had the front brake calipers stripped down and rebuilt by a brake specialist. The cherished registration 'W12 AWB' is included in the sale and the car comes with an MoT test certificate valid until January 2024 and various invoices for works carried out over the years.

1968 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk. II Transmission: manualMileage:31026The motoring correspondent of The Times reported in May 1963 the Mini while a popular second car in many households was no longer strictly the fashion, the Grande Luxe Mini de Ville by Radford had taken over. On test in London, he reported, it attracted more attention than a Ferrari Berlinetta with its special colour scheme and trim, sliding sunroof, radiator grille with two more recessed lights, special sound insulation and electric windows. The car tested by The Times also had white leather upholstery and deep lambswool carpets, tachometer, ammeter, oil gauge, clock, headlamp flasher and water temperature gauge. Further extras were: a laminated wood steering wheel, automatic red caution lights on open doors, a reading light, cigar lighter, twin-speaker radio and an air blower to demist the rear window. After the 1967 Earls Court Motor Show The Times recorded that Captains of Industry ordered them, painted them to match their Rolls-Royces and gave them to their wives. Pop Stars and West End playboys presumably invested in them as a status symbols. The reporter tested 'a typical Mini de Ville', a 1275 Mini-Cooper S with an engine performance pack providing up to about 110 m.p.h. Outwardly the only distinction was the magnesium alloy wheels, sunroof and non-standard paint. Inside absolutely everything seemed like a refugee from a Rolls-Royce. This exceptional 1968 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk. II has all the hallmarks of being a superb example built by Radford, but no records to prove this can be found. Purchased by a private collector in 2016 it was later sold by Historics in 2022 to another private collector where it has remained until now continuing to be fully maintained and well looked after. A previous owner purchased the car around 2012 from a long-term owner who lived in Derby. Between his purchase and the car being sold in 2016 he sent it to marque specialists Paul Preston Classic Mini Restoration for a comprehensive respray and restoration as necessary. Stripping the car down and removing the original paint, it was found that the body was sound and rust free, the coachbuilders work was to the highest standards where the Mk. II body shell had been de-seemed and lead filled including the smoothed front panel. The car was repainted to the highest of standards in the original colour of maroon. Refitted the excellent bespoke cream and piped red, Connolly leather interior, the burr walnut dashboard with a full compliment of Smith gauges and felt roof lining, A and C pillar panels and Mota Lita wood rimmed steering wheel. Other Radford features include a Webasto folding sunroof and grille recessed Lucas spotlights. During the restoration the engine and gearbox were also overhauled. This lovely Cooper S is supplied with a V5 registration document, the heritage certificate confirming that it is a matching numbers car and a file containing sundry invoices.

1958 Aston Martin DB Mk. III Tickford Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:12200The Aston Martin DB Mk. III, a classic British sports car produced from 1957 to 1959, holds a special place in automotive history and remains a beloved icon of its era. Building upon the success of its predecessors, the DB Mk. III represented a culmination of Aston Martin's design and engineering prowess, offering a blend of performance, luxury, and style. Under the sleek and elegant exterior, the DB Mk. III was powered by a 2.9-litre straight-six engine that delivered impressive power and responsiveness. This engine was coupled with a four-speed manual transmission, allowing for spirited driving and a top speed of around 120 mph. The car's handling was exceptional, with a refined suspension system that offered a comfortable yet sporty ride. The DB Mk. III featured a handcrafted interior, exuding a sense of opulence and sophistication. Its leather upholstery, wooden dashboard, and fine attention to detail made it a desirable choice for discerning enthusiasts. The exterior design was characterized by its iconic grille and an aerodynamic body that hinted at the car's performance capabilities.Originally registered on 22nd April 1958 this Aston Martin presents beautifully in Midnight Blue with tan leather interior. In recent years this car has benefited from significant financial investment, the result of which is a delightful Aston Martin DB Mk. III Tickford Coupé, which we are proud to offer for sale. Owned by the current registered keeper since 2010, this DB Mk. III has, during his stewardship, had a complete repaint by marque specialist Mitchell Motors in Wiltshire, this was carried out in 2019. Earlier than this, in 2014, Feltham Aston Martin experts Davron Engineering completed a full engine rebuild, including an unleaded fuel conversion and a gearbox rebuild. The rear axle was rebuilt in 2018. With invoices totaling some £60,000 it is clear this Aston Martin has been lovingly looked after with no expense spared. We are advised UYR 420 drives with no known faults, to be expected of such a well-cared for example. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a history folder, the DB Mk. III Tickford is generally thought of as the last of the 'Feltham Cars' prior to production being moved to Newport Pagnell. 

1931 Rolls-Royce 20 / 25 Sedanca De Ville by Windovers Transmission: manualMileage:57000First registered on 7th May 1931 and finished in pastel blue and black with black leather interior, GNS75 was initially ordered by J.J. Jones of 88 St. James's Street, London however the first owner was actually Hylton Ralph Murray-Philipson (Jnr) of Stobo Castle, Peebles. Stobo Castle had been purchased by Hylton Murray-Philipson Snr in 1905 and in 1924 he conveyed the estate to his son who was a pioneer aviator. Hylton's career consisted of being the C.O. of the City of Edinburgh Auxiliary Air Force Squadron, Conservative MP for Twickenham; Chairman of N.E. Marine Engineering Company and a member of the King's Bodyguard for Scotland and the Royal Company of Archers. Hylton Murray-Philipson suffered from ill health and died in 1934 aged 32 leaving GNS75 to his wife Monica and two young children. In 1939 Monica Murray-Philipson sold Stobo Castle to Wenefryde Agatha Scott, 10th Countess of Dysart and after 10 years of being a widow Monica married Colonel P.H. Lloyd of Stone House in Blaston. The Colonel and Murray-Philipson had business connections as they were both company directors of Manvers Main Collieries Ltd Murray-Philipson in 1923/33 and Lloyd in 1940/47. In 1943 GNS75 is shown as being with her second family, that of John Stanley Coombe Beard of Grayshott Hall, Surrey. John Beard was an architect well known for designing over 100 cinemas in many styles, Baroque, Art Deco, Italian Renaissance, Greek Revival and even Egyptian. Interestingly in 1937 Mrs Beard made call to the police about an attempted burglary which resulted in the first arrest directly attributable to the new 999 service.A rare, possibly unique and very attractively designed car incorporating many appealing features such as stylish wings, separate steps in place of running boards, slim bumpers, external visor and louvred bonnet and scuttle with beautifully proportioned coachwork. With a polished aluminium bonnet top and waistline and P80 'bullseye' headlamps with pillar spot lamp all adds to the overall gorgeous design with the incorporation of various Art Deco touches.This 20/25 allows you to instruct your chauffeur from the privacy of the rear passenger compartment with the interior dividing screen while keeping an eye on progress with your own speedometer which is naturally mounted atop the built-in drink's cabinet. Such unusual original features are what make this Rolls-Royce special, even the delightful Sedanca de Ville coachwork is rare with its split separate steps and Art Deco flourishes. The front compartment provides accommodation for the driver and a passenger with a removable roof section for open-air motoring and wind-up windows. The driver's window also featuring a quick release lower section to allow hand signals to be easily executed. A right hand gear change allows for plenty of legroom and the large steering wheel is surmounted by a collection of hand controls. A large bulb horn lies easily to hand and the windscreen can be opened for ventilation. It is shaded by a glass visor and a spot lamp is within the driver's reach. Gauges are also a feature of the rear passenger compartment, although separated by a dividing screen, the rear passengers can keep an eye on their own speedometer as well as being supplied with a clock, barometer and a circular thermometer. The clock, and possibly the barometer, appear to be later additions. The drinks cabinet has provision for holding several decanters and a few glasses in a Lazy Susan, although the glassware itself is no longer present. The leather upholstery looks to be in lovely condition throughout, exhibiting just the right amount of patina without looking tatty. The carpets, door cards and headlining are similarly well presented as are stylish Art Deco door handles and window winders, which place this Rolls-Royce squarely in the 1930s.To the exterior, the Palladian radiator surround is topped with the Spirit of Ecstasy and the long bonnet is flanked by twin side-mount spare wheels. A pair of large Lucas tripod headlamps illuminate the road ahead and are assisted by a centrally mounted spot lamp, as well as the swivelling spot lamp near the driver. Twin horns complete the scene at the front of the car, along with a polished chrome-plated bumper. The Windovers Sedanca de Ville coachwork suits the car well and is beautifully proportioned. It features the unusual running boards, separate for front and rear passengers, as well as a useful luggage boot to the rear. Polished aluminium discs cover the wire wheels and the car runs on a full set of Paymaster tyres. Lifting the long bonnet reveals the powerful, straight-six, 3.7 litre engine. The engine features coil ignition and is fed by an Autovac fuel pump and, unusually for a car of this period, there is a glass bottle of screen wash mounted on the bulkhead, which is likely to be a later addition coupled to a small modern electric pump which has been added for ease of use. Supplied with a history file which includes historic photographs of restoration, instruction book and the original buff logbook coupled to the V5C registration document and copies of handwritten service records. The vendor informs us that the engine starts up easily every time and runs well. It is said to be a joy to drive and mechanically sound with its overhead valves, four-speed gearbox and powerful engine, this Rolls-Royce is certainly very capable and splendidly opulent. An imposing motorcar, which wears fabulously unusual coachwork and retains many original details.

1959 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:Although having a family resemblance to the XK120 and XK140, the XK150 was radically modernised. A one piece windscreen replaced the split screen and the wing line no longer dropped as much over the doors. The bonnet was widened, opened down to the wings and on the roadster, the bulkhead was moved back four inches to make the bonnet longer. In the interior, the XK140's walnut dashboard was replaced by one trimmed in leather and chrome. On the early drophead coupés, an aluminium centre dash panel with an 'X' pattern engraving was fitted which looked similar to the early 3.8 E-Type. It was discontinued after June 1958. The standard engine, the same as fitted to the XK140, was the 3.4 litre DOHC Jaguar straight-six rated at 180bhp at 5750rpm but most cars were fitted with the SE engine that had a modified cylinder head with larger exhaust valves rated at 210bhp at 5500rpm. These were high performance, well appointed sports touring cars capable of 137mph and 0-60 in 7.8 seconds and could accomplish long distances with alacrity. This lovely, original right hand drive drophead coupé XK150 is fitted with a overdrive and was registered new on 17th July 1959 and has had just three private owners since. Supplied new to Coombs of Guildford, this Jaguar remained with its first owner until it was acquired by a Mr. Donald Marshall of Sunbury-on-Thames in 1964. Mr. Marshall was a qualified engineer and Jaguar enthusiast and during his near 60-year ownership he looked after the car where necessary. During his tenure he upgraded the engine to a 3.8 litre unit making it a much more usable example. Acquired some three years ago by our vendor, this XK150 was treated to much maintenance work including a no expense spared body off, rotisserie restoration and as such presents in wonderful condition throughout. Other notable works include a new clutch, new brakes, new hood, a new alloy petrol tank, and new wheels and tyres. This Jaguar XK150 has had a huge amount of money spent on it. It now represents a true driver's car and is ready for its next owner and further use, such as the great range of national or international rallies currently on offer; something it has been perfectly designed for. Guide price £70,000-£80,000  Interested parties should note that this example is fitted with an upgraded 3.8 litre E-Type cylinder head along with its original overdrive gearbox.

1975 Maserati Merak SS Transmission: automaticMileage:2203The Maserati Merak was introduced in 1972, essentially a lighter version of the Maserati Bora. It substituted an all-new Maserati designed quad-cam, three litre, V6 motor for the Bora's larger V8; resulting not only in a lower cost but with room for a small back seat and better handling due to lower weight and a better front/rear weight distribution. Aesthetically, the Merak differed from the otherwise very similar Bora; mainly in sporting open flying buttresses instead of the Bora's fully glassed rear, the mid-engine Merak used the Bora bodyshell but the extra space offered by the smaller engine was used to carve out a second row of seats suitable for children. As with the Bora, certain Citroën hydraulic systems were used such as the brakes, clutch, and headlight pods.This rare and fabulous left hand drive Maserati Merak SS, is very special indeed. Finished in highly desirable Argento Silver metallic and complemented by its still supple Nero Connolly leather, this 1975 Merak SS has had just two recorded owners and covered a mere 2,203 miles from new. Powered by the extremely sweet sounding and recently recommissioned 3.0 litre V6 pushing out 190bhp with four-overhead cams and triple Weber downdraft carburettors, this Merak is an extremely exciting car to drive. The five-speed manual gearbox shifts crisply and confidently, all while surrounding you with the exquisite leather interior appointments. It comes with factory fitted air conditioning, which is running as cold as it should, Campagnolo light alloy wheels and Jaeger gauges . Also accompanying the car is its original set of keys, handbook and a Certificate of Authenticity confirming that it is indeed a matching numbers car. There is paperwork in the history file confirming its mileage as it was sold by its first owner in 2014 in the US, with 1,812 miles showing on the odometer. The Merak was conceived as a complement to the larger Bora but gives up nothing in style and sophistication; it is also exceedingly rare with only 647 examples of this model produced. It is a wonderful car by any stretch of the imagination and finding one with only two former keepers and with so few miles is truly incredible. This is one of the earliest examples of an SS being built by Maserati in January 1975 prior to the official release of the SS at the Geneva Motorshow in March 1975 making it very rare indeed and even now it still has the original Campagnolo stickers on the wheels along with the original unused spare wheel and Michelin tyre from 1975! Do not miss this opportunity to acquire what is possibly the most original, lowest mileage Merak in existence. 

1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III Roadster Transmission: automaticMileage:96537The Jaguar E-Type was ten years old and needed a new lease of life. History repeated itself and it was a huge success when Jaguar debuted its robust V12 engine in a sports car instead of the saloon for which it was designed. Despite its sports car heritage, Jaguar depended on saloon vehicles for its survival and had developed the twelve-cylinder engine to power them with sufficient torque and refinement. Larger and softer in nature with weight redistributed 53/47, the Series III had lost the wilds of its youth but gained the long-legged touring profile to which it was arguably better suited. Robert Bell in Motor was quoted as saying at the time that all we expected to try was a new engine, but what in fact we drove was a new car. Not a yowling, aggressive Ferrari-like machine with which, perhaps, most people associate a V12 engine, but a very smooth, quiet and refined grand touring sports car.An original right hand drive matching numbers V12 roadster, this E-Type is finished in the delightful colour combination of Regency Red with a biscuit trim and was despatched from the factory on 11th September 1973 to Henlys London and was registered soon after. Fitted with an automatic gearbox, the car remains in good mechanical condition and we are informed it is in good running order. The paintwork has recently been refreshed to a good standard, all in all, this E-Type is a nicely presented usable example. Supplied with a history file including sundry invoices, a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, the factory handbook and a current V5 registration document. A very nice genuine example with a very realistic estimate.

1964 Jaguar E-Type Series I Fixedhead Coupé (3.8 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:95953Introduced in 1961 in 3.8 litre form, the Jaguar E-Type caused a sensation when it appeared with instantly classic lines and 150mph top speed. While, inevitably, the car's stupendous straight-line performance and gorgeous looks grabbed the headlines, there was a lot more to the E-Type beneath the skin. The newcomer's design owed much to that of the racing D-Type and, indeed, the E-Type would be one of the last great sports cars developed directly from a successful competition ancestor. Just as in the D-Type, a monocoque tub formed the main body/chassis structure while a tubular space frame extended forwards to support the engine. The latter was the same 3.8 litre, triple-carburettor, 'S' unit first offered as an option on the preceding XK150. With a claimed 265 horsepower on tap, the E-Type's performance did not disappoint. Firstly, because it weighed around 250Kg less than the XK150 and secondly, because aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer used experience gained with the D-Type to create one of the most elegant and efficient shapes ever to grace a motorcar.Those with a keen eye will notice this car is not wearing a Jaguar colour, it has in fact been painted in Aston Martin California Sage and it looks all the better for it. The respray was clearly carried out to a high standard but was finished a number of years ago and is now starting to show its age in a few places. The car was originally supplied to New York in Silver Grey with Light Blue interior but was first registered in the UK in 1987 and it was then converted to right hand drive. Our vendor purchased the car in 2007 and has covered just under 10,000 miles in that time. The gearbox was rebuilt in March 2022 using synchromesh internals to improve useability and the car retains its original engine, confirmed by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate. An early 3.8-litre E-Type with a synchromesh gearbox is possibly the best specification, pairing the useability of later cars with synchromesh with the un-matched style of the early cars with attractive bucket seats and toggle switch dashboard. This example is offered with a very sensible estimate and is sure to generate good interest.

1989 Maserati Bi-Turbo 222SE Transmission: manualMileage:39666There is no denying as the 1980's arrived the name 'Maserati' was in a dark place, first Citroën then De Tomaso sought to raise the once great marque back into the public eye. The Bi-Turbo took the brand in a totally different direction and although it raised eyebrows among established clientele the Bi-Turbo would boost production and sold in very large numbers, especially in the States. Initially, the Pierangelo Andreani design offered just 180bhp from its all new compact 90-degree V6 with a three-valve cylinder head design. The adoption of two small turbochargers was the world's first on a production car, as was the Torsen limited-slip rear differential. Development ensured performance would improve as capacity increased to 2.5 litres in 1985 then to 2.8 litre two years later at which time 250bhp was available. The export version enjoyed an update in 1988 with the 222E and SE, these enjoyed the high performance 2790cc unit which was retained until the Bi-Turbo was finally phased out in 1993.This lovely example is one of the last (August 1989) export options, complete with the larger power unit and generally acknowledged to have benefitted from a much-improved build quality compared with models offered a decade previously. The vendor knows this 222SE very well having purchased the car in 2001, after which he carried out a full 'heart and soul' restoration including replacement wings and doors with the Ice Blue metallic expertly applied courtesy of an Aston Martin specialist. Having travelled just 1,750 miles since completion in 2004 the finish remains perfect and impossible to fault. The history file is comprehensive carrying every invoice and MoT test certificate from 2001 to date, including a £4,000 invoice from Meridien Moderna which includes all belts, water pump, coolant, brake discs and pads plus four new 7J five stud alloy rims. The Bi-Turbo returned to our client in 2019 having been kept in a controlled environment for almost a decade and covering just 44 miles since its restoration. At this time the car was appraised by a classic car publication and the tester noted 'a total of a dozen warning lights are displayed as the ignition is engaged but once the V6 bursts into life, in theory all 12 go out; and in this case they did whilst the wonderful Maserati motor settles quickly. The 'dog-leg' gearbox takes some consideration, especially at junctions, as selecting normal first could result in a scare for the car behind. The performance clutch is firm and the gear change is slick allowing full use of the turbos which come in late and propel this Italian saloon with extreme enthusiasm. Our client informed us that the damp roads on a test ensured over-coming turbo lag was kept to a minimum; saying that the 222SE enjoyed uprated and lowered suspension offering minimal body roll and direct steering to complement very powerful brakes.As pointed out in the book Dream Cars by Chris Rees the Bi-Turbo cabin was made to feel very special, Briarwood and leather dominate with Alcantara dash top considered to be 'the cherry on the top'. In the world of interior trim, few vehicles can boast such flamboyance or attention to detail and this 222SE enjoys extras including climate control, electric windows plus a later Blaupunkt DJ31 radio cassette with CD changer control, which is somewhat made redundant thanks to the audio emitted by a custom-built stainless twin exhaust system. Carpets are as new, protected with over mats since fitted, also the seating offers minimal wear whilst the dash veneer is dominated by the traditional 'La Salle' gold Swiss timepiece. Maserati's website states just 722 of the 222SE models were built with stateside classic authority Hemmings confirming the 222 was the best Bi-Turbo model produced. We believe this example is as good as they come and welcome any inspection from enthusiasts seeking an Italian super coupé. 

1949 Vauxhall Wyvern L Transmission: manualMileage:We are delighted to offer this 1949 Vauxhall Wyvern L that has undergone the most extraordinary restoration to the highest standards. This Wyvern has been in its current ownership for approximately 22 years and around four years ago, a decision was made to restore the car to the standard that is presented today; a process that took nearly three years to complete. You may ask why would anyone lavish the tens of thousands pounds spent upon this modest British model? The Vauxhall Wyvern and Velox models were Vauxhall's first post-war models with production of the Wyvern running from 1948 until 1951. The Wyvern was powered by a four-cylinder, 1442cc engine, which produced 35 bhp and was mated to a manual three-speed gearbox. When asked, our vendor replied, 'it's just one of those things. I always loved these motor cars when they were new and especially as they incorporated some American influences.' This becomes more evident when you know that the American Ford Falcon, offered in our September 2018 sale, another car restored to an extraordinary standard, was from the same stable. The restoration process included a complete strip of all parts and the remaining shell was sympathetically sandblasted. Any areas requiring repair were removed and either replaced or fabricated. The original steel wings were found to be too far gone to repair, so four handcrafted aluminium wings were produced from the original pattern steel items. The undersides have undergone the same treatment and have been coated with zinc lead oxide and a protective coating. All the chromework has been re-plated and any stainless steel items polished to a high quality. Mechanically, everything is either new or overhauled, the engine was fully rebuilt whilst the gearbox and rear axle were stripped and overhauled as necessary. The shock absorbers were all reconditioned, a complete new wiring harness was fitted and modified so that the discreet indicators, mounted within the front and rear side lights, operate as well as the side, B-pillar, semaphore indicators. The brakes, suspension, tyres, rubbers, you name it, has all been attended to. The coachwork has been finished to the Wyvern's original grey with the icing on the cake being the most beautiful full leather interior, with new headlining, that is complemented by the somewhat lovely, art deco, dashboard and instruments. This most amazing motor car is accompanied by a history file that includes a photographic record of the restoration, a Vauxhall Velox and Wyvern Shop Manual and a UK V5C registration document.

1975 Aston Martin V8 Series III Transmission: automaticMileage:55000Completely handbuilt and requiring over 1,200 man-hours to finish, these motorcars are every bit the gentleman's sporting tourer. Although the DBS was the pre-curser, it shared the same V8 engine until the six-cylinder engine option version was phased out in 1972. It benefited from heavier, ventilated disc-brakes, air conditioning, fatter tyres and a new and stronger ZF gearbox. With a capacity of 5.3 litres, it was still powerful enough to propel it to over 150mph, heady even by today's standards. The engine switched back from fuel injection to carburettors in 1973 with the advent of the series III model, also distinguishable by the taller bonnet scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) Weber carburettors.This truly stunning example of the SIII V8 is one of just 967 built and is presented in the timeless Ascot Grey with a black leather trim and has been fully nut and bolt restored by world renowned restorers, Oldtimer Studio who have themselves been featured on Fifth Gear. The car is even sold with the remainder of their warranty which was issued in October this year and is valid for 12 months. Obtained by our vendor in the UK in 2015 from the Aston Workshop, this vehicle was purchased with the express reason to have the car fully restored to the highest possible quality.A German citizen working in the city of London at the time, our vendor took the decision to take the car to Oldtimer Studio prior to the UK leaving the EU. Since the exhaustive restoration process that cost more than ‚¬80,000 with all parts sourced from Aston Martin Dorset LTD in the UK and shipped to Romania, on top of the donor car which cost ‚¬40,000 alone. Our vendor has decided to part with this gorgeous example from his existing collection and in his own words it has 'broken his heart' to part with but he is doing so primarily to further investment in his children's education. In that way he is happy for the Aston to find a passionate next caretaker and return home into the UK 'where it truly belongs'.The handover was completed on 10th October and the restoration included, as you may expect, a full bare metal restoration with new interior and a full engine rebuild. All works have been fully documented including a folder of photos from start to finish which can be supplied to any interested parties. The car is supplied with a British Motor Heritage Certificate confirming it is a matching numbers example, this is accompanied by Aston Martin continuation service vouchers, two Aston Martin Workshop manuals, the 12 month Oldtimer warranty, the original V5C registration document prior to export and history file with documentation from the purchase to the restoration to the handover. Upon completion a full professional photoshoot was completed as was a full body detail including ceramic protection. The provenance of the car is not lost on our vendor hence being returned to the UK market, indeed even a set of original tapes have been sourced for the stereo.This is a car that is truly breathtaking and would cost far in excess of ‚¬100,000 to restore with today's prices therefore viewing is highly recommended.With the UK leaving Europe in 2019, this car is deemed exported into the EU however as a returning car to the UK it will be due just 5% tax for any successfully buyer should they be in the UK and wish to register it. The original UK registration plate was HSU 164N as found with the V5 still within the history file and we would assume it will return to this number.

1990 Porsche 911 / 964 Carrera 2 Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:77570Whilst it is certainly true that there are a number of similarities that follow through from the previous model, the Stuttgart firm have always been very keen to point out that at least 85% of the car, in fact, differed. From the obvious change to the bumpers through to the increased displacement of car's motive power. ABS brakes now became standard and careful attention has been paid to the aerodynamics used to reduce the drag coefficient down to virtually zero. The stability and road holding at high speed were also greatly improved with a new retractable spoiler automatically extending at 50mph seriously increasing downforce and doubling the volume of air fed into the engine compartment.Recent extensive works to the convertible roof include a new gearbox and sensors, motor repairs and a refurbished control unit as well as a comprehensive service approximately 500 miles ago with GT One Ltd, Porsche specialists based in Surrey, a year before that. In fact, works have taken place reliably with this firm stretching back to 2016 which includes regular servicing, air conditioning and general maintenance. The lack of usage undertaken between 2019 and 2023 relates to the Covid epidemic during which time, the owner stayed in Ireland. After which, it was thus refreshed and used again. Two fresh Pirelli P Zero tyres were fitted in 2017 but with only 2,000 miles driven between then and now, their use can only really be described as occasional. Works continue going back with GT One and then back to Porsche themselves including substantial servicing in 2014. In fact, 2014 represents an important date as it was then that the Porsche Service Centre in Byfleet undertook a full and comprehensive engine rebuild costing just shy of £20,000 and detailing nine pages of labour and spare parts. Most recently, this year, it has undergone an extensive 6,000 mile service costing over £4,000 and taking in numerous minor issues. Presented in classic Guards Red, it comes complete with a current MoT test certificate and a soft indoor Porsche cover.

1980 Triumph TR7 Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:14710The Triumph TR7 was manufactured from September 1974 to October 1981 and was initially produced at the Speke, Liverpool factory, moving to Canley, Coventry in 1978 and then finally to the Rover Solihull plant in 1980. The car was launched in the United States in January 1975 with its UK home market debut in May 1976. The UK launch was delayed at least twice because of high demand for the vehicle in the US with final sales of new TR7s continuing into 1982. The car was characterised by its 'wedge' shape, which was commonly advertised as: 'The Shape of Things to Come' and by a swage line sweeping down from the rear wing to just behind the front wheel. The design was penned by Harris Mann who also designed the wedge-shaped Princess.Built on 6th August 1980, this excellent and original example has covered a mere 14,700 miles from new. Presented in Platinum Silver coachwork over a navy checkered interior, this TR7 looks very well indeed. The paintwork retains a deep shine, and the interior is in very good condition for its age. Owned by the current vendor for circa five years this Triumph was treated to much mechanical recommissioning in 2019 costing circa £7,000. Included in the work was a full engine rebuild, new clutch, suspension, brakes, exhaust, fuel system, an overhaul of the cooling system, and four new tyres, all of which was carried out by leading marque specialist Robsport International.Reported to run and drive without fault, this TR7 was last services in October 2023 showing 14,703 miles. As its original specification the car is fitted with a five-speed gearbox, Sundym tinted glass, laminated windscreen, inertia reel seat belts, heater and 185 HR 13 tyres. It is also fitted with its original radio and cassette player. Accompanying this Triumph is an extensive history file including its factory build specification sheet, the current V5C registration document, sundry bills, and previous MoT test certificates.

2016 Porsche 911 Carrera S (991.2) Transmission: automaticMileage:31500The 991.2-generation Porsche 911 Carrera is a talented all-rounder and heralded a new dawn for the model with the introduction of twin-turbocharging for greater performance and improved fuel economy. Finished in a classic silver-on-black colour combination and offered for sale in excellent order, this example would make for a superb daily driver or weekend plaything.A talented and communicative sports car, this example is finished in a timeless colour combination. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre flat-six, delivering 365bhp and 332lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a seven-speed PDK transmission with paddle shift.   Registered new on 25th November 2016 this superb example is showing circa 31,500 miles on the odometer and is presented in GT Silver with a black interior. Offered with a high specification including the desirable PDK gearbox, sports exhaust system, electric slide tilt sunroof, 20-inch Carrera S wheels, and the Sports Chrono package. The factory options costing circa £14,000 alone make this example a very desirable car indeed. The 911 has been cared for where necessary and has regularly been serviced and maintained throughout its life. Presented in excellent condition the interior and paintwork both present very well with minor age-related blemishes. Accompanying the Carrera S is a sizeable history file with a full Porsche book pack including service book, two keys, various sundry bills, previous MoT test certificates, the current registration document and a current MoT valid until July 2024. This is a superb opportunity to acquire a highly specified 911!

1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda Transmission: automaticMileage:95310The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production until February 1971. An all-new design by Paul Bracq to replace the 190 SL and 300 SL Roaster. The 280 SL had a powerful 2.8 litre version of Mercedes inline-six and used Bosch fuel injection. To save on weight the bonnet, boot lid and tonneau cover were all composed of aluminium. The nickname 'Pagoda' was quickly adopted thanks to the slightly concave roof on the optional removable hardtop that resembled a pagoda roof. The comparatively short and wide chassis, combined with an excellent suspension, powerful disc brakes and radial tyres gave the W113 superb handling for its time. These roadsters also have one of the most beautiful bodies produced in the 1960s. Thanks to their robust inline-six and their luxurious Mercedes interior, they are wonderful cars to be driven and enjoyed. The styling of the front paid homage to the legendary 300 SL with its characteristic upright Bosch 'fishbowl' headlights and simple chrome grille, dominated by the large three-pointed star in the nose panel.This left hand drive example of this iconic German classic was imported from the USA in 2016 and was then repainted in the traditional white which you see today. Its interior, which we believe to be original but cannot confirm, is red MB Tex and is in good condition. Its 2.8 engine is mated to a manual gearbox and we are informed it runs well. The car comes with its factory hardtop which is also in good condition and this Pagoda is priced very reasonably compared to many similar classic Mercedes-Benz. This classic Mercedes currently sports decals that evoke the companies rally heritage. Given the recent prices achieved by Pagodas in general this larger engine example is estimated extremely reasonably. 

1998 Land Rover 90 TDI Transmission: manualMileage:The Land Rover Defender 90 is a rugged and capable SUV that was designed for off-road adventures. It was introduced by Land Rover in 1983. The Defender 90 has a boxy and utilitarian design, with a tough chassis and a powerful engine. It was equipped with a four-wheel drive system, making it capable of traversing difficult terrain. The Defender 90 was a popular choice among off-road enthusiasts and was also used by military and law enforcement agencies around the world. Today the Land Rover Defender 90 is a highly sought-after collector's item for those who appreciate its iconic design and legendary off-road capability.This absolutely stunning example of this iconic British 4x4 model has been the subject of extensive restoration and finished to a very high standard, where all parts were either renewed or refurbished. Its original 300 TDi engine was taken out, stripped and rebuilt. The underneath of this Land Rover is as good as it is on top, showing its new galvanized Richards chassis, new shock absorbers, brakes etc fabulous! Finished in Heritage Green with a tan/black interior and a new beige canvas hood which looks superb. There are bench seats to the rear offering great capacity for extra persons, should the occasion arise to give anyone a lift! Its 2.5 litre diesel engine is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and produces great towing power and torque. Stunning!

2015 Land Rover Defender 90 XS Transmission: manualMileage:38336The Land Rover Defender was launched in 1948 and, incredibly, production only finished in January 2016 after a continuous run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 vehicles from the Series III Land Rover. A full-length bonnet, revised grille, plus the fitting of wheel arch extensions to cover wider-track axles are the most noticeable changes. Internally, coil springs offered a more comfortable ride and a permanent four-wheel drive system derived from the Range Rover featuring a two-speed transfer gearbox with a lockable centre differential. A modernised interior and a new series of progressively more powerful and modern engine characterised things under the skin.This Defender 90 XS was originally registered on 7th October 2015 and has remained in the hands of the purchaser ever since. The XS model was a good specification vehicle with standard equipment including power steering, heated seats, anti-lock brakes and air conditioning. However, the vendor has upgraded a significant number of items on this Land Rover including; black chequer plating, side steps, multi-height towbar, Sawtooth alloy wheels, security hinges on all doors, stainless steel hinges on all three doors and bonnet, additional lights to the rear, removable steering wheel with a lockable boss, tool drawer in the rear footwell and upgraded front grille and headlight surround. Clearly this has been a very well cared for Land Rover as the specification and condition suggests. The mileage of 38,336 is confirmed by a full and comprehensive service history. Supplied with a V5C registration document together with an MoT test certificate valid until 30th August 2024. Land Rover Defenders are becoming increasingly popular, this one owner, low mileage example is sure to attract attention, viewing in person to fully appreciate the condition and specification of this 90 XS diesel is highly recommended. 

2000 Mercedes-Benz E240 Elegance Transmission: automaticMileage:60000Styled by Steve Mattin under the guidance of Bruno Sacco, the second generation (W210) E-Class ushered in a new design language for Mercedes-Benz. Debuting in June 1995, its distinctive, quad oval headlight visage soon became a marque staple. While careful wind tunnel profiling enabled the saloon version to boast a drag coefficient of just 0.27. Accumulating seventy plus awards for occupant safety, design, environmental compatibility and efficiency over the course of its seven-year production cycle, the W210 could be had with a range of straight-four, straight-five, straight-six, V6 and V8 engines allied to manual or automatic transmission. Customers could thus specify their E-Class as everything from a frugal, diesel-powered airport taxi through to a petrol-guzzling super saloon.This example is presented in Green/Black with Napa light grey leather interior. It comes with all the usual Mercedes-Benz luxuries such as electric seats, air conditioning, electric windows, good stereo and a very good service history showing servicing being carried out in good intervals and all at the same Mercedes-Benz garage in Hemel Hampstead, with many invoices showing the servicing of which the last service carried out was within the last month by the present owner. Its smooth V6 engine is mated to an automatic gearbox and with only just over 60,000 miles covered, this is still a great luxury saloon which exudes quality and provides wonderful comfortable travel.

1977 Porsche 911 'Restomod' (3.0 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:110944The Porsche 911 is the flagship car of the German manufacturer. It has a distinctive design, rear-engined, with independent rear suspension, an evolution of the swing axle on the Porsche 356. Since its introduction in 1963, the 911 has undergone continuous development although the basic concept has remained little changed. Throughout its lifetime, the 911 has been modified by private teams and by the factory itself for racing, rallying and other forms of competition and is among the most successful competition cars ever. The earliest edition of the 911 had a flat-six engine in the 'boxer' configuration, similar to the 356, air-cooled, rear-mounted and displaced 1991cc. It was mated to a four or five-speed manual 'Type 901' gearbox. Starting life as a 1977 911L, this fantastic example was to become a car that did it all, with the specification designed by the vendor, a life-long Porsche enthusiast. The plan was to build the ultimate roadgoing 911, taking the experience gained by both the vendors years of racing along with Autofarm's excellent mechanical experience to create what would now be known as a 'Restomod'. Every element of the car was looked at and considered to create the best overall package where headline figures weren't the aim, nor was the plan to create something with lots of trinkets adorning it.Imported from Europe to the UK in 1985, the vendor acquired the car in 1997 and a year later decided he was ready to start the rebuild. The car was completely stripped down and given a bare metal respray in Speedwell Green. The paint job was a high-quality job and over 25 years later it still presents better than most freshly painted examples. A 3.0 litre engine was built and installed by Autofarm, who also modified the wiring loom to accommodate it and installed and set up all the suspension. The car's interior was completely re-trimmed along with an original Blaupunkt radio being fitted. Every aspect of the car received attention, culminating in what we see here. The vendor has been on many trips all over Europe and enjoyed many happy years with the car. He reports it to run and drive extremely well, wanting for nothing and is only offered for sale as he has decided to thin out his collection.Supplied with a V5C registration document, file of receipts and old MoT test certificates going back to 1990. The car will be delivered to the auction having just been serviced by Porsche West Byfleet, who have maintained the car since 2009. Lovingly known as Kermit, this wonderful example doesn't disappoint offering not only comfort, but also performance, this is a 911 not to be missed.

1954 MG TF 1500 Transmission: manualMileage:4363Originally launched at the 1953 Motor Show, the MG TF was greeted with mixed reactions from enthusiasts and journalists alike. To the Abingdon engineers, led by Cecil Cousins, it was a model that was sufficiently different from its predecessors and yet continued the traditional T-Series classic lines and the end result was very pleasing to the eye. Interior wise and in keeping with the external modifications, the cockpit layout was quite radically different to that of its predecessor and formed a comfortable and pleasant place to be. Individually adjustable seats were provided in place of the normal bench type seating and the facia panel was completely new with a welcome return to octagonal instrumentation. Often referred to as 'the last of the square riggers' the MG TF gained this title due to its very strong resemblance to the pre-war MG Midgets.This stunning left hand drive example of this British classic is presented in red burgundy with a beige interior and was imported to the UK in 1997. Upon delivery here, it then became the subject of a ground-up nut and bolt restoration between 1997 through to 2013 of which there is a photographic history chronicling this work and it also comes with a Heritage Certificate. During the rebuild, its engine was upgraded to a newer 1500cc along with a four-speed gearbox, which provided this pretty classic with much better performance and subsequently an improved driving experience. The car has only had one owner since the rebuild was completed and has covered a mere 4,363 miles in the last 10 years.
