Ford FiestaJava 1600cc 1994 _ A classic in the making? Well if itês like every other Fiesta that has gone before, this tidy MK3 version is destined to be especially when as rare as this one.In 1994, just before the MK4 Fiesta was introduced, Ford produced the Fiesta MK3Java as a bit of a special model, featuring as standard a higher quality interior, sunroof, 5 doors, alloy wheels, 5 speed manual gearbox, electric windows, remote boot release and power steering and powered by their venerable 1300cc engine. But oddly, as a special order, they also offered it with a 1600cc twin cam engine under the bonnet!! Why you have to ask? As it was marketed as a small family hatch back.How many were sold in this spec no one seems to know? But with this being one of them and only 25 in total (1300 and 1600cc) left licensed for road use, itês pretty rare. With only 3 owners, a full history, low miles of just short of 58K and a current MOT through to September 2017, itês hardly surprising the vendor describes the car as mechanically sound. But also says out on the open road the extra 50% power hike over its 1300cc sibling, can really be felt with performance more akin to ahot hatch. Gearbox, clutch breaks etc are all good. As are its original alloys and its tyres. Body work is good and polishes well with just a few dinks and scratches. Offered at a price it is worth buying and just sticking away or as an excellent introduction to theretro car scene for our younger clients.These little cars were almost like Fords secret and are bound to become a sought after car as all performance related Fords do. Get in quick before someone else does.

Mercedes S430 Automatic 1999 - This fine example of Mercedes Flagship car the “S Class” is in exceptional condition throughout. From the superbly appointed interior, with just about every extra available at the time and some that other Manufacturers still do not offer on their “luxury” models, to the superb condition of the leather, these cars really were the pinnacle of comfort and this example has obviously been cared for by its owners to of survived so well.With only 143000 miles below its belt, the 4.2 V8 engine is just about run in and is as smooth as the day it left the factory, that coupled with Mercedes excellent automatic gearbox means that effortless cruising at Autobahn speeds is the norm, while in town the excellent visibility makes parking a doddle for such a large car.Everything bar the Sat Nav works (worn disc), there are no known faults with the electrics otherwise. The cars service history shows the last service was carried out last month along with a new front windscreen that was fitted for the MOT, so now not due again until the 29th of June next yearBody work is very good with only minor signs of paintwork rectifications being carried out over the years but no rust and still presents very well. General mechanics are all very good.Costing nigh on £100,000 when new these cars are a steal today, this one being probably one of the nicest you will find but for sale at less than a package trip for two in Spain for a weak!

Here at ECCA we are honoured to of been chosen to offer for auction the “Steve Tandy” collection of Motorsport and Motorsport derived cars. This collection is the fruit of one mans labour, both in the Motorsport arena, where he has won multiple World, European and British championships and his private passion for fast cars. From a one owner “find” Ford Escort Cosworth, multi championship winning National Hot Rod cars, historic Ford Rally cars to big growling American V8 race cars there really is something from most forms of circuit or broken surface racing in the collection, offered here today!First up is this instantly recognisable and favourite of just about every teenager in the 80’s, 1987 Ford Sierra “Cosworth” affectionately known as a “Whale Tail Cossie”. These cars marked just about the end of the mad pursuit in the eighties by companies like Ford to be top dogs in the “Let’s take a boring family saloon car and turn it into a true performance car”game!! Alongside offerings from BMW, Audi and even Volvo. Somehow though it was Ford that captured most people’s imagination, all of a sudden the boring and mundane 1600cc Rep Mobile that you or your dad drove every day actually looked like the cars seen winning just about every saloon car race series in the country. You could even buy that OTT rear spoiler and bolt it on, if it did not actually make your car faster who cared it “looked” like it would be!!Body work is in great condition, it has not even been cleaned in the pictures. That is as it has been kept. Door shuts and body lines are excellent with no signs of repairs or impacts. Open the doors and the door steps and apertures all round are perfect with no rust or corrosion evident. This goes for the doors themselves as well. All the relevant body kit parts are present and correct and the aftermarket wheels are in good condition.Inside is excellent. The Recaro seats had a reputation for being “delicate” well not liking being sat on which is a bit inconvenient when you are a seat! Somehow, apart from some slight looseness of the front seat bases material, the seats in this car have survived very well. The dash is good with just one or two minor cracks that all Fords of this time suffered with. Not bad but there. All the original instruments are in place and working, even the original stereo is still fitted so no nasty big holes and poor wiring from badly fitted aftermarket stereos ( this is not tested at time of writing but will update once done so) The LCD clock works but has dimmed with time. Even the rear parcel shelf is there, slightly bowed from time if you open the rear hatch, but not noticeable when closed.Last on the road in 1997 this superb condition example should be recommissioned before being used, more as a precautionary thing and something anyone with any mechanical sympathy would do automatically. However it has regularly been run up during those years, its wheels have been rotated to stop any flat spotting and it has on the odd occasion been taken out for a drive, so it does start and run, gearbox clutch and transmission are fully functioning as are the brakes and all electrics.We all know how strong values of all Fast Fords are, with cars often changing hands multiple times and at a higher price each time. It is very rare for a “new” car to come to market such as this one as once in private collections they tend to stay there. Making this car an excellent opportunity for any serious collector or lover of “Blue Oval” cars.Note: The very rare and hard to find genuine work shop manuals are with the car.

Fiat 126 BIS. Probably the best one available in the market today. 1988 - Sometimes people do things, not for a profit or because they have to but more because they want to and then it becomes a labour of love. This superb 1988 Fiat 126 BIS is a perfect example of exactly that!Starting with what he described as a very solid car, the interior was removed and the body work was taken back to bare metal. All and any signs of corrosion were cut out and replaced with good metal any dinks and dents were removed and then the body received a very expensive respray in the original colour. At this point the decision was made to alsocolour match the bumpers to bring the general look of the car more up to date. Interior was then fully retimed before being refitted in the now painted body.The rebuild was not limited just to cosmetics. As the car had been stood for so long the decision was taken to refresh the engine, gear box and general mechanics as well. The engine received new valves, head gasket and various other parts, the gear box was serviced and brakes were renewed throughout. Five new tyres were fitted, yes the spare as well, a new exhaust system plus countless other small parts were either replaced, refinished or refitted all to make the car if not the best, then one of the best examples of this car on the market today.On the road the car drives perfectly with no faults. Please do remember this is a 1988 Fiat though, it is not built for land speed records but more for chucking around in town and on A roads. Having said that the 700cc Water cooled engine in the back of this car does make it so much more capable of keeping up with modern traffic than its fore runner the 500 Fiat with the added bonus of its gearbox having synchromesh on all gears and brakes that work.This veryuseability of the 126 Variants is what makes these little cars so popular. That and the fact they are small enough to fit in even the smallest of modern garages, economical to run and with a plentiful supply of parts. They rarely come up for sale in this condition so this is an excellent opportunity to grab one especially with the low reserve set on this car, one that does not even cover the cost of the bodywork that was carried out on it!!. The MOT is current and is until February next year, so it can be taxed and driven away.

BMW 325i E30 M-Tech Convertible 1991 - This very desirable 1991 BMW E30 325i Convertible would be rare enough if that was it. Finding an E30, any E30 in this condition nowadays is a feat in itself, but this is not only in superb condition but one of only a hundred or soM-Tech Convertibles produced in right hand drive form!With only 111, 301 miles on the clock and having had 108,618 miles showing when MOTêd back in 2006, it has spent most of the last 11 years stored in the hands of collectors, this is backed up by its on line MOT history and prior to that the history file it comes with that includes bills, invoices and 16 service stamps, the last of which is for cam-belt tensioners pump and service.Its dark grey metallic body work is in excellent condition with even the deeper chin spoiler surviving the rigours of low kerbs and sleeping police men, appearing to be undamaged. The widelattice alloys are shod with expensive Continental tyres all round with deep tread and the alloys themselves in excellent order. The convertible hood is very good but in case you have not spotted it, we draw your attention to the very very rare hard top that is fitted and comes with the car, also in great condition.Inside all theM-Sport fixtures are there with the specially M Sportmonikered grey leather seats being in very good condition, needing little more than some leather feed and not having any sign of what is almost a standard feature on these cars, holes in the bolsters! The again rare to find rear wind deflector is also there, fitted in the back to keep that annoying chill off the back of your neck when motoring with the roof down.Mechanically all is described as in very good condition. The engine pulls very strongly, feeling much more powerful than its claimed when new 168HP.That coupled to an automatic gearbox that still changes as smoothly as when new, gives this lovely car enough performance to embarrass many modern day cars while still making it a very nice car to drop the roof and travel long distances in comfort. When you consider the E30 Model design dates back to its launch in 1982, you realise just how good these cars were back then and just why they are so popular today.The vendor of the car will be placing a new MOT on it prior to the auction so it will be ready to go to its next lucky owner. No this is not a cheap E30, is there even such a thing anymore? What it is though is one of the rarest E30ês produced numerically, fitted with some very rare options making it a bit special to collectors and lovers of the BMW marque, all wrapped up in a lovely colour and condition. Try finding another like it! Prices of E30ês are up year on year, so a great investment as well.

Audi “Final Edition” Cabriolet 2.6 Auto 1999 - This lovely condition Audi Convertible is finished in a special order colour called “Orinoco Pearl Effect” and was part of the Exclusive Special Order Range. First registered in 1999 it is actually a 2000 model and so part of the Final Edition range as well, this is a rare car.Powered by Audi’s silky smooth 2.6 V6 engine driving through their equally smooth automatic gearbox, it still according to the vendor, drives beautifully with no faults. Having said that it has only done 91000 miles with a full service history. A full service including the pollen filter has just been carried out and at the same time the anti-roll bar bushes and drop links were changed for its new MOT.Externally the paint work is very good and cosmetically the car benefits from a recently fitted new rear screen in the powered hood, the hood itself has just had a service including replacement new looms and its alloy wheels refurbished.Inside is lovely and apart from the power hood other factory extras the car has are Burr Walnut finishers, Fine Nappa hide leather, winter pack, cruise control and headlight washers. This is a very high spec car.Now becoming very rare and desirable with this engine, spec and colour.

ChevroletStep Side V8 Pick-up. 1978 - Having previously sold this very good condition 1978 Chevrolet Step Side truck at one of our auctions, it has been back out to France where it was originally imported from, served its purpose and then back to us to resell!Still in excellent order through out with a strong 5 litre V8 up front. It starts first time every time and soon settles to a very even and quiet tick over. On the road it pulls cleanly and runs up through the automatic gearbox nicely. The twin big bore exhausts making a nice but not obnoxious note. There seems to be little or no tram lining common to these trucks. Brakes are servo assisted and work very well. Steering is power assisted. Tyres are good all-round. The body work looks to be rust free and is as solid underneath as on top with a nice checker plated rear bed.Interior is nice and equipped with electric windows and door locks although the passenger window does not seem to work. All the gauges work correctly, displaying good oil pressure. There is a brake warning light on telling you the emergency (hand) brake is on when it is not. This does flash when you operate the release lever so is probably down to adjustment of the switch. Does not affect the driving but worth mentioning. The seat belts are fitted and their warning light works correctly.The truck is still on French papers but easy enough to register into onto UK plates if staying in the UK, will need an MOT and insurance to do so. Not currently Motêd so cannot legally be driven away from the auction. Transport can be arranged.

This glorious and painfully pretty 1966 Alfa Romeo Spider “Duetto” 1600 was purchased by its one owner from the Alfa Romeo main dealers one mile from his house in Paris. They are still there, as is he and they have serviced it from new. So this car is not only exceedingly rare but is a “One owner with history car” not many can boast that! Coming to us direct from Paris, the car will have its French papers but we will not have had time to put it through the UK registration process. If this is required then we will do this for a UK buyer after purchase, if not required we can arrange transport (at buyers cost) using the original papers. The body work has been refreshed in its time and looks good today, being very solid in the boot floor and front inner wing areas and the paint work is very presentable with a deep shine. The soft top hood is in very good condition with only very slight discolouring to the rear window. The interior is original and in very good condition complete with its rubber floor mats and period radio in the dash. It still has the stickers on the windscreen telling you how to run theengine in from new and tyre pressures for different makes of tyres! Mechanically the vendor tells us that everything is very good, the engine gives good oil pressure and once warmed through, a nice even tick over. Gearbox is smooth in operation and the clutch functions correctly. General mechanics including brakes and electrics are good. We are expecting this little gem to be in the UK by the end of the third week of April so we will update this listing then withfurther details. Please contact us to register your interest in this piece of automotive art.

1966 Aston Martin DB6 Vantage - Desirable Vantage in the current ownership for 30 years, stored since c.1991, engine free - Shell Grey with Dark Blue hide and blue carpet, original engine & registration number - Nice history file back to the 1970s including correspondence with original owner Introduced at the 1965 Motor Show, the Aston Martin DB6 was notable as the first model to be engineered following a factory move from Feltham to Newport Pagnell. Although, it shared the same visage as the outgoing DB5, the newcomer enjoyed notably better high-speed stability and interior space thanks to the provision of a Kamm tail and four-inch longer wheelbase respectively. Grafted over a sheet steel platform chassis, the four-seater's hand-finished aluminium panels helped contribute to a 1,466kg kerb weight. Praised by the contemporary press for its poise and handling, the DB6 employed all-round coil-sprung suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by a reworked version of the fabulous Tadek Merak designed 3995cc DOHC straight-six engine featuring a trio of Weber carburettors, the desirable Vantage variant was quoted as developing 325bhp and 288lbft of torque. Fitted with a five-speed ZF manual gearbox as standard, it was reputedly capable of around 150mph and 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds. A contemporary road test by the legendary John Bolster achieved 6.1 seconds for the 0-60mph sprint and a maximum speed of 152mph. Some 1,750 DB6s were manufactured by the time the model was fully superseded by the DBS in February 1971, making it the most successful member of the DB4/DB5/DB6 lineage. A copy of the original guarantee in the history file issued on 10 March 1966 records that EBR 6D was supplied via Mill Garages Ltd of Sunderland and finished in Shell Grey with Dark Blue hide. Options recorded include: 3.73:1 LSD, heated rear screen, 3 ear hubcaps, additional carpeting and thinner rimmed steering wheel. At some point, a rare headrest has also been added to the passenger seat. The original owner recorded on the RF60 logbook was a Mr Kenneth Priest, a textile manufacturer, living near Huddersfield. A letter on file from him dated 1977 records that he kept the car for five years, covering 12,500 miles, and that servicing was always carried out at Newport Pagnell during his tenure. A further letter on file from the 2nd owner, a Dr Weightman, who subsequently purchased it from Mill Garages, records elicit runs on the M1 at over 130mph and how Mr Priest had the car chauffeur driven and never allowed it out in the Winter. In 1976 it was purchased for £1895 by a Mr Barnet-Lamb of Orpington from Performance Cars Ltd who, as evidenced by the invoice on file, took his year old MGB in part exchange. During his ownership, the engine was overhauled and an invoice dated 24 March 1977 is on file. Acquired by the vendor through Peter Bennett of Tarporley, Cheshire, in 1987 when displaying some 91,000 miles on its odometer, it then covered less than 3,000 miles before being put into dry storage amongst other cars in his collection around 1991. Complete with original engine and retaining its original registration number, EBR 6D has remained in storage ever since. A recent visual inspection suggests it to have survived extremely well with a nicely patinated interior. The engine, though not started for many years, is also said to turn freely. The bodywork certainly appears to be essentially solid and whilst there is no visible rust to the exterior, there are some minor areas of corrosion beneath the paintwork and some starring is evident in places along the front wings. The mileage of 93,398, though not warranted, is in keeping with the information contained in the history file and is therefore believed to be genuine. In addition to the correspondence from previous owners mentioned above, the history file also contains an instruction book, RF60 logbook, old MoTs dating from 1976 to 1991, assorted invoices (including Aston Service Dorset and Four Ashes Garage Ltd) and copy guarantee sheet. A tool roll and Swansea V5 document also accompany the car. A Vantage specification DB6 coming from long term ownership, in our opinion, EBR 6D represents an extremely exciting opportunity for collectors.

1964 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII - Imported from America into New Zealand and comprehensively restored there by a friend of the vendor during 2011 to 2015 and converted to RHD - Imported to England by the vendor and just 115 miles are reported to have been covered since the photographically documented restoration. - Superbly presented underneath as well as on top, UK registered, over-drive equipped, and ready to be enjoyed A significant step in terms of 'Big Healey' evolution and foundation block for one of the 1960s' most charismatic rally cars, the 3000 MKI was introduced in March 1959. Powered by an enlarged 2912cc version of BMC's C-Series straight-six engine that developed some 124bhp and 167lbft of torque, it could be had in two-seater (BN7) or 2+2 seater (BT7) configurations. Progressively improved, the 3000 metamorphosed through MKII and MKIIa guises before the arrival of the ultimate MKIII BJ8 in October 1963. Boasting a centre console, proper convertible hood, wood veneer dashboard, redesigned exhaust system and wind-up windows, the 2+2 seater BJ8 proved a comfortable and fast grand tourer. With engine output boosted to 148bhp and 165lbft of torque thanks to a new camshaft and better valve springs etc, its reputed 124mph top speed was accessed via a four-speed manual gearbox. Last of the line, the Phase Two variant benefited from redesigned rear suspension, strengthened splined hubs and larger diameter front disc brakes. This example is believed to have been sold new in America and was imported into New Zealand at some point in its more recent life. A friend of the vendor restored the car for his own enjoyment and in doing so, transferred the steering wheel from the left side of the car to the right. Our vendor observed the rejuvenation of the car by his experienced friend and upon the completion of the work, he persuaded his friend to sell the car to him in February 2016. Our vendor is English but had resided in New Zealand for a few years, and when he moved back to England he brought the Healey with him and gained UK road-registration with the DVLA in October 2016. Described by the vendor as having an "excellent" engine and over-drive equipped transmission, body and paintwork, and black leather interior, the underside of the car is beautifully finished in body colour.

1956 AC Aceca-Bristol PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has an electric fuel pump.- The third Aceca Bristol built and potentially Mille Miglia eligible - 'Matching' chassis and engine numbers plus overdrive - Subject to some £10,000 worth of work during the current ownership - Previously fettled by the likes of Spencer Lane Jones and TT Workshops The Aceca was the Coupe version of AC's much-vaunted Ace Roadster and sold between 1954 and 1963. It had equivalent engine options and by the end of production 151 AC-engined Acecas, 169 Aceca-Bristols and eight Ford Zephyr-powered versions had been manufactured. Chassis BE573 has the distinction of being the third Bristol-engined example made, and the sister car to the 1957 Mille Miglia competitor BE572 and the Ecurie des Trois Chevrons racer BEX574. It is understood to have been dispatched to dealer Johnson & Brown of West Bromley on September 11, 1956, who supplied it new to a J Mansfield of West Horsley. Its keeper in the early-mid 1960s was Richard Harding of Hereford before it was sold to his friend Roger Searle a few years later, while the accompanying continuation logbook confirms it was registered to Swanmore Garage of Bournemouth by March 1969. A fine matching numbers example, `XKR 7' retains its original 100D engine but these days benefits from an alternator, Kenlowe electric fan, dual circuit brakes, collapsible steering column, overdrive, Moto-Lita steering wheel and Willans harnesses. Restored in 2004, it is finished in Silver and trimmed in Grey hide. In recent times this lovely AC has benefited from a rear suspension overhaul and the replacement of the radiator, wheels and tyres. Its maintenance has been handled by the likes of, Spencer Lane Jones, TT Workshops and IT Racing, with whom the vendor has invested some £10,000 since buying the Aceca in 2013. He is now offering the car complete with a collection of old MOTs and invoices, a spare set of wheels and tyres, and photographs of the restoration. He presently classes the bodywork, interior trim, Bristol engine and four speed manual gearbox as `excellent', and the paintwork as `very good'. Motorsport enthusiasts should note that BE573 is potentially eligible for the Mille Miglia retrospective. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

1961 Daimler SP250 Dart - The subject of much recent cosmetic and mechanical restoration work - Desirable 'B-specification' variant that is almost as smart underneath as it is on top - Hood, tonneau cover and 'no advisories' MOT valid until May 2018 Launched at the 1959 New York Motor Show, Daimler's Dart sportscar was hurriedly rechristened the SP250 following threats of legal action from Chrysler's Dodge division which already used the moniker. The striking-looking newcomer was clothed in a tough fibreglass body and built around a traditional cruciform-braced ladder-frame chassis. By 1960, Daimler was in Jaguar's hands and the so-called B-specification variant featured a much stiffer frame, equipped with additional outriggers and a strengthening hoop between the B-posts. The jewel in the car's crown was its engine, a silky smooth 2.5-litre V8 unit designed by Edward Turner. Suspension was independent with wishbones and coil springs at the front and a live axle hung on leaf springs at the rear. Braking was by hydraulically-operated discs all-round. Perhaps unsurprisingly given that Motor magazine found one capable of 123.7mph, the Metropolitan Police employed a fleet as high-speed pursuit cars! Production of what was arguably the Coventry marque's quirkiest ever model ceased in 1964 after a mere 2,645 had been made. Finished in Gunmetal Grey metallic with Light Grey leather upholstery, this particular B-specification example is described by the vendor as being in 'excellent' condition with regard to its engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim. Reputedly treated to much chassis restoration work by its previous keeper, 2016 saw the Daimler benefit from a thorough engine overhaul (new piston rings, inlet / exhaust valves and guides, unleaded fuel conversion), extensive gearbox refurbishment (fresh gears / bearings), full professional bodywork respray, replaced / renewed chromework and an interior retrim (new leather / padding, hood and carpets). Riding on chrome wire wheels and looking almost as sharp underneath as it does on top, this stunning Dart is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, 'no advisories' MOT certificate valid until May 16th 2018 and assorted restoration photos.

1960 Alvis TD21 Drophead Coupe - 1 of just 192 Alvis TD21 Series I Drophead Coupes made - Supplied new to a member of the Maynard confectionary family - Treated to a full professional respray, rechromed bumpers and engine work since entering the current ownership in 2013 'A perfectly serviceable everyday car with extra "chic", extra performance, and high standards of comfort and safety, its appeal to a select but important clientele should be strong' (Motor magazine) Launched in late 1958, the Alvis TD21 was stylistically indebted to a special-order Hermann Graber Coupe variant of its TC21/100 predecessor. Suitably reinterpreted for production by Park Ward, the newcomer's decidedly elegant coachwork sat atop a rigid box-section chassis equipped with independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension and a leaf-sprung back axle. Powered by a 2993cc OHV straight-six engine allied to either four-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission, the four-seater boasted a 100mph-plus top speed. Featuring a polished wood fascia, leather upholstery and pile carpets, the TD21 could be had in two-door Saloon or Drophead Coupe guises and was every bit as luxurious as its contemporaries. Superseded by the Series II in 1962, just 192 of the 784 Series I cars made were Drophead Coupes. First road registered as '707 AYP' by London County Council on October 6th 1960, this particular example - chassis 26392 - was supplied new to a member of the Maynard confectionary family. Acquired by R.E. Moon Esq. of Leigh-on-Sea some six years later, the Alvis subsequently belonged to the Stephenson family for more than two decades before entering the current (sixth) ownership during 2013. Treated to a full professional respray and re-chromed bumpers that same year, 2014 saw the original 'matching numbers' engine undergo recommissioning. Described by the vendor as being in 'very good' condition with regard to its engine, automatic gearbox, bodywork, paintwork and electrical equipment, he rates the interior trim as 'good / very good' and further informs us that the TD21 'drives well through all the gears'. This rare and imposing motorcar's extensive history file includes an instruction manual, Mr Moon's handwritten maintenance log and sundry Red Triangle invoices.

1995 Subaru Impreza Series McRae - Number 170 of just 200 cars built to celebrate Colin McRae's victory on the 1994 RAC Rally (the first by a British driver since 1976) - Special Mica Blue paintwork, Recaro front seats (complete with Series McRae motifs) and Le Mans / Avus fabric inserts to the upholstery and door cards - 73,400 recorded miles and MOT'd into May 2018 It was in June 1995 that, to commemorate Colin McRae's victory on the 1994 RAC Rally (the first by a British driver since 1976) , Subaru sanctioned a 200-strong limited edition of its WRX model. Prepared by Prodrive, who also built the all-conquering competition cars, each one was finished in `Rally Blue' and featured Gold-coloured 16 inch alloy wheels, McRae decals, factory-fitted electric tilt/slide sunroof, and Recaro front seats. The as-original example now offered is number 170 of the 200 and comes complete with a comprehensive service record and the benefit of a £7,000 main dealer garage visit as recently as May this year, during which: the engine was refurbished to OEM specification, the suspension and steering overhauled, and a new rear exhaust installed. `N434 BCE' has also been treated to replacement brake discs and calipers, refurbishment of the wheels, and a degree of remedial paintwork. Displaying 73,400 miles and offered with an MOT into May 2018 the vendor now grades the engine, gearbox, and Black/Blue interior trim as `excellent', and the bodywork and paintwork as `very good'.

1969 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2 The E-Type's Malcolm Sayer-penned lines are thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motor car. Indeed, only a few years ago the Daily Telegraph ranked the E-Type top in a pole of the '100 most beautiful cars of all time'. The E-Type, or XK-E as it was known in the USA, made its debut at the 1961 Geneva Salon where its unique combination of grace and pace stole the show. From birth, the car was available as a Fixed Head Coupe or a two-seat Roadster. At launch the new Jaguar was the fastest production car of its time - its 3.8-litre straight six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of around seven seconds and a top speed of circa 150mph. Despite this, the engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964 and, with the change, came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and more comfortable seats. The Series 2 models introduced in 1969 are distinguished by their lack of headlamp covers, enlarged front air intake, repositioned front indicators and tail lights, wrap-around rear bumper, twin-electric fans, uprated brakes and refashioned facia and seats. Dispatched from Browns lane on the 27th November 1969 to British Leyland, New York, USA, 'ANM 59H' is finished in Red matched to Biscuit interior and arrived back in the UK in 1985. It's understood at this stage it was converted to RHD and fitted with triple SU Carburettors followed by an extensive restoration in the late 1980's. Displaying a credible 90,300 miles and having just one former UK keeper, 'ANM 59H' is a previous Jaguar Drivers Club concours winner and is fitted with electronic ignition. Offered with every MOT certificate from 1985 onwards, collection of old tax discs, original handbook and Jaguar heritage certificate this much-loved example is described by the vendor to be 'very good' in regard to the engine, interior, paintwork, bodywork and gearbox and is offered with an MOT certificate into September 2017 with no-advisory's.

1962 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Coupe - Matching chassis and engine numbers (cylinder block and cylinder head) - Supplied new by Western Motors of Bristol to A.E. Powell Esq and current ownership since August 1976 - Credible but unwarranted 63,000 miles shown on the odometer - Barn stored since the mid / late 1980s and last started in 2001 Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore. Its combination of supercar performance, superb styling and a low price tag left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. While, 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 (torsion-bar front / coil-sprung rear) rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent roadholding and handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head, its indomitable 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft of torque. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox (with synchromesh on 2nd, 3rd and 4th), it reputedly enabled the low-slung two-seater to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph. While any E-type Fixed Head Coupe is desirable, the lithesome free-revving 3.8 litre cars enjoy a particularly exalted status. Dating from early in the production cycle before Jaguar responded to popular demand for greater comfort and refinement, they arguably represent the automotive icon in its purest form. One of just 1,799 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Fixed Head Coupes made to right-hand drive specification, this particular example - chassis 860826 - was completed on 23rd August 1962. Supplied new via Western Motors of Bristol to A.E. Powell Esq., the two-seater initially sported the latter's personalised number plate 'AEP 246' but had been re-registered as '390 CFH' prior to entering the current ownership during August 1976. A mere five years older than the Jaguar, the vendor spent several months grafting on the then still expanding M5 motorway so that he could become the envy of his university friends! A sports car enthusiast, he treated the E-Type to a thorough engine overhaul (crankshaft reground, new timing chains, fresh 40thou oversize pistons, chrome plated SU carburettors etc) as well as sundry running repairs many of which are documented in the accompanying history file. A notably tall gentleman, the seller fitted alternative seats to give him greater control of the car at high speeds but thankfully retained the original Dark Blue leather buckets which are being reinstated for the auction. Taken off the road during the mid / late 1980s due to increasing business demands, the Fixed Head Coupe was driven into the first of the two North Devon barns that have sheltered it ever since whilst in possession of a valid MOT certificate. Last run some sixteen years ago, the 3.8 litre straight-six is stamped R7145-9 to both its cylinder head and block which tallies with the engine number quoted on the car's Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Trace Certificate. The same document also shows that the E-Type was initially painted Opalescent Silver Blue traces of which are still visible when the boot floor is lifted and the spare wheel examined. Opening the fuel filler flap reveals plenty of solid metal and, although by no means air tight, the Fixed Head Coupe's current Linney Barn abode seems to have been surprisingly kind to it. A potentially rewarding restoration project, this much-loved Jaguar displays an unwarranted but not inconceivable 63,000 miles to its odometer and is now ready to change hands again for the first time in forty-one years. Offered for sale with old-style V5 Registration Document, Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Trace Certificate, tool kit, jack and a wealth of old invoices and receipts etc. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale - One of just 1,366 examples of Bertone's incredibly styled Giulietta Sprint Speciale manufactured between 1957 and 1962 - Constructed on January 11th 1961 and dispatched shortly afterwards to Alfa Romeo's North American importer, Hoffman Motor Company of New York - Imported into Holland in November 2001 and believed to have been restored soon afterwards. UK registered when imported in early 2013 and acquired by the vendor soon afterwards The Italian Carrozzeria Bertone excelled when they styled the Giulietta Sprint Speciale (SS) for Alfa Romeo. Its beautifully swooping and curvaceous bodywork with lengthy front and rear overhangs was dramatic and exotic. Appearing to be equally at home on either the starting grid at Monza or the harbour at Portofino, the plastic bug deflector at the top of the bonnet was somewhat out of place but succeeded in completing the racy appearance. In reality, the long nose and tail blunted its on-track performance. Naturally an expensive offering, just 1,366 examples left the factory before the Giulietta SS with its 1300 engine became the Giulia 1600 SS. Virtually identical in their metalwork, both cars had a five-speed gearbox. This Giulietta example presents superbly, its lowered suspension emphasising the arrow like shape. According to the Alfa Romeo Museum Archives, it was manufactured on January 11th 1961 and painted in Alfa red (just as it is now), after which it was dispatched a few days later to Alfa Romeo's North American importer, The Hoffman Motor Company of New York. We gather it remained in America until exported to Holland in November 2001. Believed to have been restored somewhere in Europe soon afterwards, it was acquired in Italy in early 2013 by former classic Alfa Romeo specialist Black and White Garage, and imported into England and UK registered. Purchased by the vendor from Black and White Garage a short time later, he has thoroughly enjoyed the Sprint Speciale being part of his fabulous car collection but feels that now is the time for someone else to slip behind the steering wheel. Powered by an SS correct 120 series engine, your Giulietta owning cataloguer was fortunate to drive this particular car a couple of years ago and remembers how superbly it drove. Extremely well cared for during the current ownership, the car has been further enhanced with an overhaul of the steering idler and carburettors, plus some paintwork improvements. Such a beautiful car would be welcome in any collection, and the vendor understandably describes the car as having "excellent" body and paint work, interior, and engine and transmission.

1958 Jaguar MK I 'Brian Lister Tribute' PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press the vendor has informed us that his affinity for the Lister marque stems from the fact he owned the first factory-supplied Lister XJS and the prototype Lister 'Knobbly' Continuation car (BHL 146). Having amassed various spares for the latter he hit upon the idea of transforming 'WHP 17' into exactly the kind of 'sleeper' that Brian Lister might have created in period. As the seller succinctly puts it: 'With his passing, this is my tribute to an old friend!'- A 'wolf in sheep's clothing' powered by a John Pearson-built Jaguar D-Type 3.8-litre engine. - All synchro four-speed plus overdrive gearbox, uprated MK2 axles, LSD and power steering etc - Patinated red leather upholstery, 16-inch Halibrand peg-drive Lister wheels, alloy fuel tank etc - Engine formerly the property of John Coombs and fitted to his ex-Ecurie Belge D-Type, original 'WHP 17' registration number A member of the British Racing Drivers' Club with a keen appreciation for what the late Brian Lister achieved using Jaguar D-Type drivetrains in his fearsome 'Knobbly' cars, the seller commissioned Martin Greaves of Classic Performance Engineering to similarly upgrade this unsuspecting MKI in 2015. Built by marque expert John Pearson and previously employed to power the late John Coombs' ex-Ecurie National Belge Jaguar D-Type, the 3.8-litre engine which now nestles aboard 'WHP 17' is understood to have covered several hundred miles since Mr Pearson last refreshed it. Boasting a correct-type 'wide angle' cylinder head, six-branch big bore exhaust manifold, dry-sump lubrication and triple Weber carburettors etc, the potent straight-six is allied to Jaguar four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission (courtesy of an S-Type). As one might expect of an engineer who trained alongside John Pearson and has restored some of the world's most significant sports and competition cars, Mr Greaves was more than up to the challenge of corralling the numerous extra horses (albeit the seller was adamant they should use period parts wherever possible). Jaguar MKII front and back axles allowed for the fitment of Coopercraft vented disc brakes up front, a Powr-Lok limited slip differential at the rear and Koni shock absorbers all-round. The steering box is also a MKII item but has been uprated with electronic (EZ) power assistance. Affixed to the car via specially commissioned hubs, the 16-inch Halibrand peg-drive alloy wheels, Coombs-style rear arches and twin fuel fillers are the only external signs of the MKI's considerably enhanced performance potential. Although, the subtle Lister-referencing green and yellow banding around the radiator grille offers another clue that 'WHP 17' is no ordinary Jaguar. The interior with its original Red leather upholstery is similarly discrete. A veritable 'wolf in sheep's clothing' and a fitting tribute to a great man, 'WHP 17' doubtless has the potential to surprise and delight.

1999 Maserati 3200 GTA - 64,600 miles from new as substantiated by its extensive service history - Replacement automatic gearbox less than 1,000 miles ago, book pack, all keys, Becker stereo - 1 of 266 Maserati 3200 GTAs currently known to the DVLA Unveiled to the press in September 1998 by Luca di Montezemolo, Sir Stirling Moss and Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign, the 3200 GT proffered a heady blend of style, luxury and performance. Powered by a 3.2-litre twin-turbo V8 developing some 365bhp / 362lbft, the 2+2-seater could be had with six-speed manual or (from 1999) four-speed automatic transmission. Christened the GTA, the self-shifter was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.7 seconds and 168mph. Circa 870 of the 4,750 3200 GT/GTAs made were UK supplied. Finished in Grigio Touring Silver with Blue leather upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in 'excellent overall' condition with regard to its engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim. Serviced by Maranello Sales Ltd of Egham before migrating to Scotland, the Maserati appears to have well maintained thereafter. Indeed, its extensive history notes sixteen garage trips including several cambelt changes, suspension work and the installation of a replacement automatic gearbox less than 1,000 miles ago. Riding on Black-painted alloy wheels and understood to have covered just 64,600 miles from new, this rakishly handsome 3200 GTA is offered for sale with the aforementioned paperwork, book pack, all keys, Becker stereo and MOT certificate valid until December 2017.

1989 Ferrari 328 GTS - Desirable RHD example with just c.32,900 recorded miles - Rosso paintwork with Crema hide and red carpet - Good history file, MoT to May 2018 Introduced at the September 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Ferrari 328 shot straight to the top of the 'junior supercar' league. Borrowed from the preceding 308, its tubular-steel chassis was equipped with double-wishbone independent suspension, front / rear anti-roll bars and potent disc brakes, and the adoption of a 288 GTO-specification steering rack brought notably sharper responses. Transversely mid-mounted, the newcomer's Tipo 105CB 'quad-cam' 32-valve V8 displaced 3185cc. Credited with developing 270bhp and 224lbft of torque, it was allied to five-speed manual transmission and gave suitably authoritative performance (0-60mph: 5.5 seconds / 158mph). Styled by Pininfarina, the 328 retained the same iconic silhouette as its forebear but added a larger 'egg crate' grille, new bumpers and reworked bonnet and boot lids. Available in both GTB (berlinetta) and GTS (spider) guises, the Ferrari also benefited from a revamped interior - again inspired by the 288 GTO - complete with improved switchgear, redesigned centre console and more cosseting seats. Beloved by the press and public alike, the 328 remained in production until 1989 by which time just 542 examples are thought to have been despatched to the UK. Delivered new on 1st August 1989 to a Roger Shrubb of Chorleywood via Lancasters of Colchester, this beautiful example was initially serviced by Strattons of Wilmslow before passing to its second keeper, Nicholas Goulandris of St John's Wood, London, on 22nd November 1990. By May 1995, with 16,608 miles recorded, it was being cared for by DK Engineering who also carried out a modification to the fuel injection system. DK continued to look after the car up to around 1997/8 following which servicing was entrusted to Moto Technique Ltd. Between 2000 and 2005 servicing was being done by Motorvation of Sarratt, Herts, before the car left the UK for a spell in Greece where maintenance and servicing was completed by official dealer Genesis SA of Athens. From the notes in the accompanying history file it came back to the UK in 2010, returning to Motorvation for servicing before passing to its third owner, Michael Docker of Loughton, Essex. In January 2012, a service at 32,137 miles was carried out by Maranello of Egham following which Graypaul completed another at 32,336 miles in May 2013 which included a complete application of Tuff-Kote Dinol retreatment to the underside. In August 2014, further servicing was carried out by Maranello of Egham at 32,491 miles before the car was offered for sale via Foskers with 32,606 miles on its odometer. Since acquisition by the vendor this cossetted example has continued to be used sparingly and still registers less than 32,900 miles. Included in the comprehensive history file are the wallet containing warranty card, service book and handbook, DVLA record print outs, numerous invoices from Foskers, Maranello, Graypaul, DK Engineering, Moto Technique, Motorvation and Genesis together with assorted expired MoT certificates back to 1997. The cambelts were last replaced by Foskers in January 2016 (less than 200 miles ago) and we understand the car will benefit from a checkover and an oil and cambelt service prior to the sale. Offered with Swansea V5C and MoT to May 2018, the vendor rates the bodywork, paintwork, engine, gearbox and electrics as all being in "excellent" condition. All in all, an extremely well-cared for righthand drive 328 that is worthy of close inspection. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

1982 Porsche 911 Turbo - 1 of just 938 RoW C-Program Porsche 911 Turbos made - 58,000 miles from new and painted to Hellbronze Metallic to special order - Recently recommissioned following a prolonged period of dry storage and highly original In the early '70s, Porsche had designs on racing a turbocharged version of the 911, in support of which they planned a homologation special along the lines of the Carrera 2.7 RS. A subsequent change in the rules negated the need for a precise number of street legal vehicles but the company continued with the project anyway. Unveiled at the October 1974 Paris Show, the resultant Porsche 911 Turbo (930) was routinely among the fastest - if not THE fastest - accelerating supercars that money could buy during its fifteen-year production run (1975-1989). The newcomer was based around the Carrera 3.0 RS, the engine from which was modified courtesy of turbo technology originally developed for the legendary 917/30 CAN-AM cars. Initially displacing 3.0 litres, the need to keep pace with such supercar rivals as the Ferrari 512BB and Lamborghini Countach saw its force-fed flat-six grow to 3.3 litres in 1978. Although, the adoption of Bosch fuel injection some four years later brought no more horsepower (300bhp @ 5,500rpm), it did result in greater torque and better throttle response. Thus equipped, the 911 Turbo was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds and 162mph. To accommodate its extra performance over the 3.0 RS, the 930 sported revised suspension, larger brakes and a robust, four-speed gearbox. In order to help deliver the power to the road, a 'whale tail' rear spoiler was fitted and a wider rear wheel / tyre package was squeezed under specially flared arches. Adding this level of power to the already oversteer-prone handling of the 911 created a car that did not suffer fools gladly. In skilled hands, however, a 930 will show a clean pair of heels to most rivals. With more and more of today's supercars featuring traction control systems that cannot be deactivated, the first series 911 Turbo's 'Jekyll and Hyde' nature only adds to its appeal for certain enthusiasts. The Porsche Club of Great Britain estimates that less than 1,000 RHD 930s were UK supplied. 1 of just 938 'Rest of the World' (RoW) type C-Program 911 Turbos made between August 1981 and July 1982, this particular example - chassis 601 - was not only built to right-hand drive specification but also painted in special order Hellbronze Metallic. Although originally UK-supplied, the Porsche has been Eire-registered since 1984 and is understood to have covered just 58,000 miles from new. Recently recommissioned following a period of prolonged dry storage, the 930 is described by the vendor as being in 'very good / excellent overall' condition with regard to its 3.3-litre engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim. Pleasingly retaining its original Brown leather upholstery complete with Brown and Cream Pascha cloth inserts, the 2+2-seater also boasts air-conditioning and a period Blaupunkt stereo. Starting readily upon inspection and looking every inch the 1980s supercar in its special order livery, this reportedly low mileage 930 is expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale.

1965 Maserati Quattroporte 4700 Iniezione - Built to the special order of serial Ferrari and Maserati owner Dr Enrico Wax - Fitted with a larger 4.7-litre V8 engine (the earliest first series Quattroporte to be thus equipped), its uprated specification also comprised a bespoke leather dashboard, modified exhausts and longer range fuel tanks etc - More 'run of the mill' option included power assisted steering, quad headlamps and Borrani wheels - Extensively restored in 2012-2013 This splendid, left-hand drive, matching numbers Maserati Quattroporte from May 1965, finished in the pleasingly contrasting combination of Black bodywork and Red hide interior, was created to the special order of serial Ferrari and Maserati owner Dr Enrico Wax - a personal friend of Il Commendatore and the Italian importer of Johnnie Walker whisky and Connolly leather. An example of the first series of cars (of which only around 50 are understood to remain), this car with chassis number AM107*504* was the first to be equipped with the 4719cc as opposed to 4136cc engine, by request of Dr Wax. The Dottore had also carburettors fitted in place of the Lucas fuel injection system (this can be reversed, the parts are still available) and Bosch ignition instead of Magneti Marelli - all this has been documented. Among the many other unique or optional fitments that make it such a Maserati collector's dream are: special 60mm exhaust pipes; a pair of enlarged fuel tanks giving an extra 30 litres capacity; Borrani Record wheels equipped with the original hubcaps emblazoned with Red Maserati logos (especially made for the Iniezione, normally they were Blue); Sebring facia trimmed in leather rather than wood; Bakelite-rimmed aluminium steering wheel; chrome-bezzled instruments; quadruple headlights; power-assisted steering; electric windows; and the car's original Blaupunkt push-button radio. There was also a record player, but that's subsequently been usurped by an air-conditioning unit. Introduced at the November 1963 Turin Salon, the Maserati Quattroporte was arguably the world's first 'Super Saloon'. A bold move on the part of the Casa del Tridente-owning Orsi family, the newcomer was part high-performance GT and part luxury limousine. Taking inspiration from the Maserati 5000GT he had penned for Prince Karim Aga Khan in 1961, Pietro Frua imbued the handsome Quattroporte with a low belt line, slim-pillared glasshouse and neatly defined yet spacious boot. Based around a unique sheet steel box-section chassis equipped with independent front suspension, a de Dion rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes, the four- / five-seater was powered by a race-bred 4136cc 'quad-cam' V8 engine allied to either ZF five-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission. Credited with developing some 260bhp and 267lbft of torque, the Maserati was capable of 0-60mph in around 8 seconds and over 140mph (depending upon the final drive ratio chosen). After the first few cars had been made, Quattroporte production was transferred from Carrozzeria Frua to Carrozzeria Vignale (though, Maggiora of Turin was responsible for fabricating the bodywork). Arriving in 1966, the updated Series II version (or Tipo 107A as it was known by the factory) sported a new quad-headlamp visage and revamped interior complete with lustrous wood cappings, electric windows and standard fit air-conditioning. While, under the skin a revised leaf-sprung Salisbury back axle resulted in a quieter, smoother ride. By the time production ceased the following year, some 770 cars had been completed (circa Series I: 260, Series II: 510). Stylish, fast and exclusive, the big Maser was driven by the likes of Marcello Mastroianni, Alberto Sordi, Stewart Granger, Anthony Quinn, Peter Ustinov, Leonid Breznev, Prince Rainier of Monaco and Conte Volpi di Misurata. We understand the Quattroporte was the subject of a comprehensive restoration in 2012/2013 and the vendor presently views the Maserati's Connolly Vaumol interior trim and five-speed manual gearbox as being in 'excellent' condition and the four-door bodywork, 'Nero' paintwork and V8 powerplant as 'very good'. He is now offering the car complete with copies of the original order and factory build sheets, plus a Maserati Heritage Certificate. This fine period Maserati is so much more than the sum of its graceful parts, as it embodies a personal connection to the heart of Modena's premier car manufacturers. A one-off opportunity.

1996 Subaru Impreza WRC 97 As far as historic rally cars go, Subaru Impreza WRC97001 is one of the most important ever made' (David Lilywhite - Octane magazine, May 2010) 'To many, the mid 1990s was the heyday of the Subaru World Rally Team. Following the drivers' and manufacturers' double in 1995 and a further manufacturers' title in 1996, the blue and yellow Impreza was rapidly becoming the icon of the championship and Colin McRae one of rallying's great stars. 1997 brought in a new era in the World Rally Championship, with the introduction of the appropriately named World Rally Car formula. While some continued to compete with what were predominantly modified Group A cars, the new FIA regulations provided an opportunity to bring new manufacturers into the championship, who otherwise were unable to homologate suitable road cars. At Prodrive we seized the opportunity, and while our Group A Impreza was already very competitive, we went back to the drawing board to develop a new two door Impreza World Rally Car from scratch. The engineering team, led by David Lapworth, spent 1996 developing the new car, and by the last event of the season, Rallye Catalunya, we were able to unveil our new car to the world's press. Whilst at this very same event, Colin McRae gave the Impreza Group A a fitting send off by winning the Spanish rally and clinching a second manufacturers' title for Subaru. Chassis 001 was the car we unveiled and used as our primary test and development car. It was thanks to the many hours Colin and the other drivers spent at its wheel, that when it came to the car's debut at Rally Monte Carlo in January 1997, Piero Latti was able to claim victory and help Subaru go on and win a third consecutive manufacturers' title' (David Richards - Prodrive, 2009) Taking full advantage of the new WRC rules, Lapworth and his team liberated considerably more power and torque from the Impreza's force-fed 1994cc engine but without sacrificing reliability. Occupying almost an entire inner wing the newcomer's huge airbox was complemented by a similarly enlarged intercooler that sat in front of, rather than atop, the charismatic flat-four thus minimising heat soak. The turbocharger itself was little altered but revised inlet / exhaust systems saw outputs increase to 300bhp and 347lbft of torque. The adoption of a two- rather than four-door bodyshell brought a notable increase in torsional rigidity as did the use of CAD to optimise the form and positioning of the integral rollcage (each monocoque took over 600 hours to reinforce / prepare), while the new regulations also allowed the McPherson strut suspension to have longer travel. Less reliant on computer control than its successors, the WRC97 fed power to all four wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox and front / centre / rear differentials. Styled by Peter Stevens of McLaren F1 fame, the car's blistered wings, front / rear spoliers, side skirts and even door mirrors were all wind tunnel-honed to maximise their aerodynamic efficiency. Hailed by Colin McRae as 'quick straight out the box and generally a bit better in every way as well as faster' than its Group A predecessor, Chassis 001 paved the way for its WRC97 sister cars to claim 119 stage wins and eight out of the fourteen World Rally Championship rounds between them. The eWRC-results.com website records Chassis 001 winning the 1998 Boucles de Spa Alphonse Delettre Rally in the hands of Gregoire de Mevius / Jean-Marc Fortin before being sold to Procar of Italy. Seemingly victorious on the Rali Vinho da Madeira, Rally Cyprus and Aviano Rally in 1999 that same year apparently saw it piloted by none other than nine-time motorcycle champion Valentino Rossi to eighth place on the Rally di Monza. The Subaru's accompanying FIA World Rally Car Technical Passport reveals that it contested the 1999 Acropolis Rally and 2001 Swedish Rally but retired from both due to mechanical failure. Driven on the latter event by Tomas Hrdinka / Petr Gross under the Styllex Tuning Prosport banner, the Impreza subsequently carried the duo to a handful of victories and podium placings. Rallied extensively in Ireland from 2002 - 2007, Chassis 001 proved competitive into its final season. Initially road registered as 'P555 WRC' (and tested in Spain by McRae right after the Rallye Catalunya with that plate on) but better known by its long-term moniker 'P18 WRC', the car had been given a superficial cosmetic refurbishment prior to entering the current ownership. Drawn to 'first editions', the previous keeper not only had Prodrive validate Chassis 001 but also commissioned them to restore it to 'original' condition (becoming the Banbury outfit's first heritage customer in the process). The car was renovated using only original SRT parts, many of which would be even more difficult to source today. Overseen by Prodrive sales manager Steve Smith and documented in an accompanying hardback book, the resultant rejuvenation remains highly impressive and a real credit to David Richards and his team. Acid dipping revealed that Chassis 001 had endured a busy rally life but amazingly still retained its original Prodrive bodyshell, which was painstakingly repaired by the same team who had fabricated it in 1996! Kevin Locke rebuilt the flat-four with a new stock closed-block and internals, plus the difficult to find SRT exhaust manifolds, after which it was set-up to run on super unleaded via a revised engine management map and suitable dyno testing. Fellow Prodrive staffer Darren Pentley overhauled the complete transmission and then tested it on Prodrive's unique transmission dyno before sign-off. A suitable handover ceremony marked the project's completion on 18th December 2009. The inscription in Chassis 001's restoration book from that day simply reads: "best wishes and congratulations on acquiring a very special car - David" The vendor sums up 'P18 WRC' as follows: "It's a truly exhilarating car to drive with levels of grip and handling that would still embarrass many a modern supercar. Plus it runs on high octane pump fuel. It's doubtful that there will ever be another Subaru rally car from the same period restored like this one if only because the correct SRT parts are so difficult to locate. Pattern parts might be produced in time but Chassis 001 is the real thing" We can only echo his sentiments and invite you to buy an important part of motorsport history.

1964 Aston Martin DB5 - In single family ownership from 1964 - 2005 - Matching chassis and engine numbers, factory-fitted limited slip differential and heated rear screen - Extensively improved by renowned marque specialist Post Vintage Engineering - Refinished in its original livery of Sierra Blue with Fawn leather upholstery - Sympathetically upgraded with power assisted steering, air-conditioning and sat-nav Being an Aston Martin concessionaire in the early 1960s was no cake walk. As well as a marked reluctance to help its dealers with warranty claims, the cash-strapped manufacturer also pursued a decidedly evolutionary product strategy. Introduced in 1963, the DB5 may have boasted such niceties as an alternator, tinted glass, four exhaust silencers, electric windows and more efficient Girling disc brakes but sharing the exact same sheetmetal as the outgoing DB4 Series 5 Vantage must have caused certain customers to look askance at its £4,125 list price (a twenty percent increase). Although some of the extra expense was down to the newcomer featuring an enlarged 3995cc version of the marque's proven Tadek Marek-designed DOHC straight-six engine (up from 3670cc). Nevertheless, one can imagine the impact that the DB5's starring role in the 1964 James Bond film 'Goldfinger' had on saleroom traffic. Indeed, the svelte four-seater has been the stuff of dreams for boys of all ages ever since! With a quoted 282bhp and 288lbft of torque on tap, the super spy's preferred method of transport was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8 seconds and 148mph. If ordinary customers had to do without an ejector seat they did at least get the benefit of an improved five-speed ZF manual transmission (albeit the earliest models came with a more antiquated four-speed plus overdrive gearbox). Only in production from 1963-1965, a mere 898 DB5 fixed-heads were ever made. Today, survivors are justly regarded as some of the world's most desirable cars with the DVLA currently being able to account for 355 of them. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, this particular example - chassis DB5/1614/R - was completed on 11th June 1964. Originally finished in Sierra Blue metallic with Fawn Connolly leather upholstery, its factory specification included a heated rear window, Powr-Lok limited slip differential, Dunlop RS5 tyres, triple SU HD8 carburettors and Select-a-ride shock absorbers. Road registered as 'AJW 646B', the Aston Martin was supplied new via Cyril Williams Motors Ltd to Philip Horton Esq. of William Sharp (Birmingham) Ltd. Remarkably, the DB5 remained part of Mr Horton's family until twelve years ago. Maintained by Andy Chapman of marque specialist Chapman Spooner for much of that time, the four-seater had been entered for Aston Martin Owners' Club concours events as early as 1966 and was refinished in its initial Sierra Blue livery not long before noted photographer David Campbell brought the Horton family's thirty-one-year-long custodianship to an end. Prior to his purchase in May 2005, Mr Campbell had the car thoroughly inspected by Colin Thew, Aston Martin's former factory service manager. The latter's extensive report deemed the DB5 to be in generally very good condition with regard to its bodywork and chromework save for some corrosion to the front passenger footwell. On Mr Thew's recommendation, Mr Campbell entrusted chassis DB5/1614/R to renowned marque specialist Post Vintage Engineering for various mechanical improvements including the fitment of a high capacity radiator core, stainless steel exhaust, replacement differential seal, new oil cooler and fresh gearbox mountings plus an unleaded fuel conversion for the original 'matching numbers' engine etc. The DB5's next keeper, Peter Mimpriss Esq., acquired it from Post Vintage Engineering during July / August 2009. A solicitor by profession who has owned some exceptional motorcars over the years, Mr Mimpriss made the sale conditional upon the four-seater being provided with (a) 'a guarantee to replace or repair at your expense any failure or malfunction of any component that may happen within twelve months of purchase' and (b) written assurances as to 'both the body and chassis being free of corrosion' and the car 'having suffered no accident damage'. He further stipulated that the engine should be overhauled 'to the highest standard' and the four-seater upgraded with air-conditioning and a Becker stereo / sat-nav system. The Managing Director of Post Vintage Engineering, Adrian Johnson Esq., sent a letter in reply stating: 'I am quite sure we will achieve a car that gives you many hours of pleasure and will be very reliable too'. The latter was no idle claim with Mr Mimpriss subsequently writing to Post Vintage Engineering on several occasions in praise of their craftsmanship and the car itself: 'We have just returned from the AMOC Tour of Spain. This was a great success for us due to the fact that the DB5 performed faultlessly for the entire 1,750 miles that we travelled in Spain . . . We have just returned from the NATO Tour of Northern England and Scotland. In the course of this we covered close to 2,000 miles and I am delighted to report that the DB5 performed faultlessly. I know that this is due to the wonderful way in which it has been looked after by Post Vintage and I would like to thank you, Trevor Hill and his other colleagues for their skill and dedication in maintaining the car in such excellent condition. We really appreciate everything that you have all done for us. It is a lovely car to drive and once again thank you for recommending it to me'. Mr Mimpriss's successor, Michael Wilson Esq., continued to have chassis DB5/1614/R serviced and improved by Post Vintage Engineering. As well as new glass all round, he had the Aston Martin treated to 'a retrim in Connolly VM3234 to original specification' and sundry re-chroming during April 2015 at a cost of £22,602.08. Last sent to the West Yorkshire-based marque specialist for servicing on March 23rd 2016 (some 600 miles ago), the Aston Martin started readily upon inspection and ran without complaint during our lengthy photography session. Uprated with power assisted steering by Aston Engineering Ltd in April 2014 at a cost of £3,616.29, the four-seater was an award winner at the following year's AMOC Spring Concours Woburn Abbey. A decidedly handsome, sympathetically enhanced, 'matching numbers' DB5 that due to its long-term single-family ownership has never been allowed to deteriorate to the point of needing extensive restoration, chassis DB5/1614/R passed its last MOT test on April 21st 2017 with no advisories.

1954 Jaguar XK120 SE Roadster PLEASE NOTE: An electrical fault has just occurred on this vehicle resulting in a suspected inoperative fuel pump and incorrectly wired ignition switch. The vendor has agreed to fund the reasonable cost of these repairs post sale.- An absolutely stunning XK120 SE Roadster that was manufactured in June 1954 and sold new in California, USA. - Purchased in August 2006 by the late collector Bill Jacobs of Illinois in a recently restored condition. Mr Jacobs passed away in 2010 and the car was sold in January 2011. - UK registered in May 2013 on behalf of its American owner and participated in the 2013 and 2014 Mille Miglia Retrospective events. Acquired by the vendor in England in 2015. It is true to say that the phenomenal success of the Jaguar XK120 was completely unexpected by Sir William Lyons and the team at Browns Lane, whose post-war focus was the MKVII Saloon. However, as the Saloon's chassis and XK engine neared completion in 1948, it occurred to Lyons that a sports car powered by the stunning new DOHC unit would probably outperform almost anything else in production at the time. The extraordinary decision was therefore made to design and build an XK-powered two-seater sports car in time for display at the Earls Court Motor Show of October 27 - an apparently impossible task in the six weeks available. The intention was, depending on public reaction, to hand-build a few hundred Roadsters as required. However, within a few days of the Bronze show car going on display, it was evident that a complete rethink was required - such was the euphoria with which the XK120 was greeted. In the end, production spanned five years and the car was manufactured in three different guises - Roadster, Fixed Head Coupe and Drophead Coupe; the combined production volumes of which were 12,055! In order to confirm the model's top speed potential to the press, the second XK120 built, chassis 670002, was driven flat out on the Jabbeke straight, Belgium, in May 1949, achieving 126.448mph over the flying mile with hood and side screens erected, and an astonishing 132.596 mph in stripped form. According to the accompanying copy of its FIVA Identity Card, the stunning left-hand drive sale car vacated Jaguar's Browns Lane production line in June 1954 bound for the USA. It was first registered in August of that year to an R Burneson of California. It then passed to Walter D Willett (Arizona) and was the subject of a body-off, chassis-up restoration before being acquired in 2006 by the multi-franchise car dealer and renowned classic car collector Bill Jacobs of Illinois. Jacobs passed away in 2010 and the still immaculate Jaguar was purchased by Albert Chin of New Jersey the following January, before being sold to Chris Au (also of New Jersey) later the same year. It was in 2013 that its then American owner had it UK registered and drove in that and the ensuing year's Mille Miglia retrospective. The vendor acquired '385 YUT' in September 2015. As an SE model XK120 it is correctly fitted with a factory-fitted plaque bearing the words 'It is certified that this Jaguar car is an exact replica of the record-breaking car which attained the speed of 132.6mph at Jabbeke Belgium, 30 May, 1949. William Haynes, Chief Engineer, Jaguar cars'. In standard form, an SE is endowed with 180bhp but it is understood that, when restored, '385 YUT' was equipped with a slightly later XK120 cylinder block topped by a C-Type cylinder head that would have raised the output to c.210bhp. The Identity Card makes mention of a 'partial cosmetic restoration' in 2011/2012 and it is unsurprising the vendor presently regards the bodywork, Dark Blue paintwork, Red Connolly hide interior trim, 3.4-litre XK engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'excellent' condition. The car comes complete with: Brooklands aeroscreen in place of the standard windscreen; evocative teardrop headrest, leather bonnet strap and pair of period Lucas spotlights; and rides on chromed wire wheels. Motorsport enthusiasts should note that, true to its mouth-watering looks, this charismatic cat has already completed two Mille Miglia retrospectives and is eligible for further such top quality historic events. Immaculate inside and out as well a peak performer, '385 YUT' is the epitome of the perfect road/race XK120 Roadster and represents an exciting opportunity for Jaguar enthusiasts everywhere.

1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SL - Finished in Signal Red with Black interior, RHD and automatic transmission - Offered with both Hard & soft tops, c.114,000 miles and good history file - Subject to a recent extensive bodywork restoration, repaint and mechanical overhaul The rarest W113 variant, the 250SL, was officially introduced at the March 1967 Geneva Salon. Blessed with the same effortlessly elegant Paul Bracq styling as its earlier sibling, it was powered by a new seven-bearing crankshaft 2496cc SOHC straight-six engine that developed some 150bhp and 159lbft of torque - sufficient outputs to endow the Mercedes with a 0-60mph time of a whisker under 11 seconds and a top speed just north of 120mph. Braking was by power-assisted discs on all four corners, and steering by power-assisted recirculating ball. Able to blur the divide between city streets and open roads with ease, the majority of 250SLs were specified with four-speed automatic gearboxes. Faster than the 230SL which preceded it yet more stiffly-sprung and agile than its 280SL successor, the 250SL remained in production for just a single year, accounting for a mere 5,196 sales worldwide, more than a third of which were exported to America. A cult car by any standards, SLs have had countless celebrity owners from Charlton Heston to Kate Moss, John Lennon to Sophia Loren. Finished in Signal Red with a Black interior this desirable RHD example is fitted with automatic transmission and has just been subject to an extensive bodywork restoration, repaint and mechanical overhaul. This has included an engine out service, new battery, S/S exhaust, new windscreen, refurbished hard top with new head lining, new Michelin tyres, new carpets plus door cards and many new chrome parts. Having covered 114,500 miles with just 4 previous keepers, 'VBY 140E' is offered with both hard & soft tops and good history file comprising of old MOT's (1977 - 2015), tax discs and invoices dating back to 1980. Having previously received a top end engine overhaul in 2014, the vendor currently describes the Mercedes to be in 'very good' condition with regards to the engine, interior, paintwork, bodywork and gearbox. Offered with an MOT certificate into April 2018. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

2000 Ferrari F355 Spider Introduced at the May 1994 Geneva Salon, the F355 was the standard bearer for a new generation of more technologically advanced 'small' Ferraris. Based around a robot-welded sheet steel monocoque equipped with all-round independent double-wishbone suspension, ventilated ABS disc brakes and utilised a new computer-controlled electronic damper system that self-adjusted depending upon the feedback gleaned from various road speed, brake pressure, suspension loading, and steering sensors. The F355 was revealed to be seven seconds and four seconds a lap faster round Ferrari's Fiorano test track than the 348 and 512TR respectively. Cradled by a separate subframe, its longitudinally mid-mounted 'quad-cam' 3496cc V8 boasted F1-style titanium con-rods, forged alloy pistons, three-inlet and two-exhaust valves per cylinder (40 in total) and the latest Bosch M 2.7 engine management system. Developing an incredible 380bhp and 268lbft of torque, it drove the rear wheels via a neatly integrated transverse six-speed manual gearbox. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds, 0-100mph in 10.6 seconds and 185mph, the F355 was an undoubted supercar. Unveiled at the May 1995 Monaco Grand Prix meeting, the F355 Spider benefited from a strengthened body-shell and specially reinforced windscreen, it permitted 'wind in the hair' 180mph motoring! Finished in the classic combination of Rosso Corsa with cream leather hide this example is one of just 139 righthand drive Spiders made with the F1 gearbox. Having covered just 28,050 miles from new and showing 4 previous keepers, the vendor informs us the car has only recently been taken out of long term storage. Re-commissioning works by a Ferrari specialist include: service and belt change, new clutch kit, new brake pads and discs, refurbished alloy wheels and new tyres, repaired manifolds together with engine bay detailing at a cost of c.£15,000. Offered with book pack and duplicate service book containing stamps from HR Owen of Leeds and a collection of invoices, its understood a fresh MOT will be obtained by the time of sale.

1972 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL - Supplied new by Dingle Garages of Colwyn Bay - 11 service stamps up to 61,822 miles (and now showing 63,000) - Soft-top, hardtop, original tool roll, modern stereo and MOT'd till Dec 2017 Nicknamed 'der Panzerwagen' by Mercedes-Benz's own development engineers, the R107-series was an engineering tour de force which remained in production for eighteen years (1971-1989). Styled by Bruno Sacco and surprisingly modern to drive thanks to all-round independent suspension, power steering and four-wheel disc brakes, it was conceived as a grand tourer rather than an out and out sportscar. Powered by a 3499cc SOHC V8 engine, the 350SL model was quoted as developing some 197bhp and 211lbft of torque. A strong performer, it remained in production until 1980. Reportedly supplied new via Dingle Garages of Colwyn Bay, 'JDS 786K' is further understood to have been serviced by them at 138, 4,328, 10,698, 22,361, 28,241, 35,023, 42,644, 46,562, 51,869, 54,896 and 61,822 miles. Sporting a Chocolate-hued soft-top, body-coloured hardtop and original tool roll, the two-seater now shows some 63,000 miles to its odometer (an average of 1,400 per annum). Finished in Champagne Gold Metallic with Palomino M-B Tex upholstery, the Mercedes is described by the vendor as being in 'good overall' condition with regard to its engine, automatic gearbox, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim. A notably early example, this appealing 350SL is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and MOT certificate valid until December 2017.

1961 Jaguar MK II 3.4 Litre - A matching numbers Manual Overdrive example with a recorded mileage of just 44,000, documented restoration 2001 to 2005 with a thorough engine and gearbox rejuvenation in 2012 / 2013 - Boasting a large history file with a comprehensive number of invoices, Production Record Certificate, detailed restoration notes and photographs, and an original hand book - Supplied with spare Coombes style rear wheel spats and the power steering components that the vendor removed to increase the steering feel The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Production Record Certificate states this MkII 3.4 Manual was manufactured in May 1961 and fitted with overdrive. It was sold new to Mr J Pitts of John Pitts and Sons Limited, Trews Weir Paper Mills, Exeter. A copy of an early V5 document shows it being owned by a Mr Anning of Honiton Clyst Garage, Exeter, and a 1983 MOT certificate (carried out by Honiton Clyst Garage) states the odometer reading as just 34,989 miles. Possibly soon afterwards the car was stored at a friend's farm until 2001, when the farmer apparently applied for a V5C in his name and promptly sold the car to a Mr and Mrs Lawrence of Worksop, Nottinghamshire. Mr Lawrence wrote a detailed account of his purchase and restoration of the car upon completion of the work in 2005, which was clearly done to a very high standard. New door skins and bottoms, inner and outer sills, and several new repair panels were fitted, plus new seat cushions were fitted below the preserved original leather on the reclining front seats, along with new carpets and a headlining. The interior woodwork was restored and a new wiring loom fitted, along with a conversion to alternator charging. The paint was superbly applied by Jaguar restoration specialist Alan Proctor of Worksop. The car changed ownership in 2007 and by September 2012 it had been acquired by the vendor. Just prior to the owners purchase the gearbox was overhauled at a cost of over £5,000 and the vendor has significantly improved the car further by having the engine (the original unit) and carburettors overhauled by Peter Chambers Automotive in 2013, at a cost of nearly £19,000. With just 44,000 miles recorded on the odometer, the vendor describes this beautiful MkII was being in "excellent" condition with regard to the body and paintwork, interior, and engine and transmission. The car is supplied with a comprehensive history file with a detailed typed account of the restoration, photographs of the car before and during the work, photographs of the engine overhaul, a spare set of Coombs style rear wheel arches, and the later power steering system that the vendor had removed to improve the steering feel.

1968 Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV - RHD example restored in Australia - Alfaholics suspension, brakes and wheels - Engine reconditioned c.1200 miles ago The pretty 105/115 Series two-door Coupes made in various specifications by Alfa Romeo from 1963 to 1977 were penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro as one of his first projects for Bertone. They succeeded the much vaunted Giulietta Sprint Coupe and were built on a shortened version of the Giulia Berlina floorpan. Power came from Alfa's ubiquitous four-cylinder all-alloy twin-cam engine which, over the years, was available in a range of capacities from 1290cc to 1962cc. The engine was mated to a slick five-speed gearbox. Suspension was by wishbones and coil springs at the front and coil-sprung live axle at the rear. Braking was by discs all round and steering by recirculating ball. The 1750 GTV of 1967 was a notable evolution. Most obvious was the increase in engine capacity to 1779cc which raised the power to 120bhp and torque to 137lbft. The chassis was uprated to cope and sported revised suspension geometry, the addition of a rear anti-roll bar and more powerful disc brakes. The new car also gained two extra headlights, a 30mm wheelbase extension and a host of minor improvements. This smart righthand drive example was restored in Australia around 2010 before being imported to the UK by the vendor in 2014. Set up with track use in mind when purchased, he set about civilising it for road use which included replacement of the then-fitted 2 litre unit with a 1750 engine by Bianco Auto Developments which we are informed was reconditioned some 1200 miles ago -the invoice on file totalling some £3800. The car further benefits from the fitment of Alfaholics suspension, brakes and replica GTA wheels. Offered with its distinctive registration number, ALF 222A is accompanied by a history file of invoices, Club valuation certificate, MoT to May 2018 and a spare set of keys.

1978 Porsche 911 SC This interesting righthand drive 911 SC has been the subject of a retro makeover by marque specialists Linstone Classics of Salisbury. Its original bonnet and wings have been replaced by earlier metal ones and the engine cover and bumpers by 2.7 RS-style fibreglass examples. The Porsche nowadays rides on 16 inch Fuchs 911 turbo wheels, while the interior benefits from period-type bucket seats and a Momo Prototipo steering wheel. The vendor acquired the car in 2012, since when it has been exclusively serviced and maintained by renowned specialist Tuthill Porsche of Wardington near Banbury. This has included the replacement of the camshaft, clutch, flywheel and front brake calipers, and discs and pads all round. Minor leaks have been cured courtesy of new gaskets and seals and the 915 manual gearbox has been improved by the addition of one of Tuthill's short-shift kits. The most recent service took place in November last year - some 500 miles ago, and `BOF 617T' is now displaying an entirely feasible but unwarranted 128,000 miles from new. The vendor presently classifies the modified bodywork, Silver paintwork, Black interior trim, 3.0-litre engine and five-speed manual gearbox as all being in `good' condition, and is offering the 911 complete with service book stamped from new through to 2002, and an MOT valid into November.

1934 Citroen Ten Rosalie - Entered from the Home Farm Collection - The subject of an older cosmetic and mechanical restoration - Citroen UK chassis plate, four-speed manual gearbox, Maroon leather upholstery Further Information: Dry stored as part of a private collection and so would benefit from a degree of recommissioning Introduced at the 1932 Paris Salon, the Citroen 8CV 'Rosalie' was marketed as the Citroen 'Ten' in Britain (a differentiation necessitated by the two countries conflicting ways of measuring 'horsepower'). A well-executed if somewhat conventional 'light car' design, the 'Ten' was based on a sturdy ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round quarter-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and worm and roller steering. Reputed to develop 32bhp @ 3,200rpm, its 1452cc four-cylinder sidevalve powerplant drove the rear wheels via a three-speed manual gearbox (upgraded to four-speeds from 1934). Claiming a 90km/h top speed, it also boasted such niceties as flexible engine mounts, partial synchromesh and all-steel 'single piece' bodywork (available in a variety of open / closed guises). Superseded by the revolutionary 'Traction Avant', the model only remained in production until January 1935 by which time some 38,835 are thought to have been sold worldwide (though, survivors are comparatively few and far between).

1937 Rolls-Royce 25/30 Saloon - Finished in silver matched to a red leather interior with Park Ward limousine coach work - Supplied new to a Mr Ralph Clifford Lynn esq, a comedy actor from Manchester - Previously UK registered as 'DLT 428' and offered with a copy of its US title plus chassis card records Further info: Maintaining its policy of offering one 'Large' and one 'Small' model (the terms being purely relative!), Rolls-Royce introduced the 20/25 in 1929 as a successor to the outgoing 20 hp. Though the newcomer was intended to appeal to owner drivers, many examples were in fact sold to customers with chauffeurs. Power came from an enlarged version of the straight-six unit used in the 20 hp. Now of 3699cc, it made for swifter acceleration and a higher top speed - up to 75mph, depending on the chosen body. The four speed manual gearbox featured the manufacturer's traditional right-hand change and was equipped with synchromesh on the top two ratios from 1932 onwards. The substantial chassis sported rigid axles front and rear suspended on semi-elliptic leaf springs. The four-wheeled braking was mechanically servo assisted. In 1936, the company opted to increase performance once more, further enlarging the engine to 4257cc to create the so-called 25/30, of which 1201 examples were made before the model was superseded by the Wraith in 1938. Like most Rolls-Royces, the 25/30 starred on the silver screen, most notably in 'The Naked Truth' and 'Death on the Nile'. This charming 25/30 is finished in silver matched to a red leather interior and features Park Ward limousine coach work to body number 4225. Supplied new to a Mr Ralph Clifford Lynn esq. who was a comedy actor from Manchester best remembered for playing comedy parts in the Aldwych farces, first on stage and then in film. Featuring a central division and fold out picnic tables, 'GGN 27' had resided in the USA for a long period before recently retuning to the UK. Having previously been UK registered as 'DLT 428' the Rolls Royce is offered with a copy of the US title, chassis card records, bill of sale and offers the opportunity to acquire an attractive Rolls Royce with an interesting history.
