1997 Deon Scoperto GTS                                                                                   - RHD, Lancia Twin Cam and Cromadora wheels, c.26,400 miles only - Finished in yellow with black / brown interior - Cambelts and water pump done October 2016, MoT to October 2017 Today's values of Ferrari's inaugural mid-engined masterpiece have put the Dino beyond the reach of most enthusiasts' pockets, making quality replicas ever more appealing. Sitting on Cromodora alloy wheels, the Deon Scoperto GTS offered is visually accurate enough to fool many an admirer, and rare in its own right as only c.28 Targa versions were produced by Deon cars of Illminster. Its tubular spaceframe chassis is clothed in a fibreglass body. Suspension is Fiat 124 up front and Lancia Beta at the rear, while power is supplied by a Weber-fed 2.0-litre Lancia twin-cam engine driving through a five-speed manual gearbox. 'VNP 678L' comes complete with an MOT into October, plus copies of all major service work since 2009, and last October benefited from a head skimming, carburettor reset, and new cam belt and water pump. The three owners to date have amassed a mere 26,400 miles between them making this 'lookalike' an appealing proposition.

1954 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT                                                                       - Ex-Anthony Pritchard and extensively restored - Desirable Series 4 benefiting from Nardi floor shift, De Dion axle and 118bhp engine - Silver Grey paintwork with Blue leather interior This highly desirable (and Historic Mille Miglia eligible) right-hand drive Pinin Farina-built Aurelia Coupe has been subject to a comprehensive restoration and is now resplendent with Pearlescent Silver-Grey paint work and Blue trim. The previous owner - the prolific and respected motor historian and writer Anthony Pritchard, was an authority on Italian race/sports cars having written: 'Ferrari: Men from Maranello', 'Italian High-Performance Cars', 'Mille Miglia the World's Greatest Road Race', 'Lamborghini: Super cars from Sant Agata', 'Scarlet Passion', 'Maserati - A Racing History' and many more. We understand he had owned the car in the 1960s before acquiring it again from America and selling it to the vendor shortly before his tragic death in 2013 following a road accident. The restoration work began in America, where the car was resprayed and retrimmed, before being imported to the UK in June 2011 and completed. Work here included an engine strip down and thorough overhaul by marque specialists Omicron (invoices for works done by them between September 2011 and June 2012 totalling some £31,000 are on file). Other invoices for additional expenditure (excluding work done in the US) total some £8,000, whilst the vendor advises he has spent around two hundred hours attending to smaller jobs. The Aurelia B20 GT is rightly regarded as one of the most innovative cars of all time, and is credited as first of the new breed of modern post-war Grand Turismo coupes. Introduced in 1951, it created an immediate sensation. Costing almost twice the price of a Jaguar XK120 the B20GT was a car of great style based on an initial design by Felice Mario-Boano of Ghia and later refined by Vittorio Jano. Lancia pioneered many of the advances that we now take for granted, from the first ever V6 engine through to using Michelin 'X' radial tyres. The Aurelia recorded a string of racing successes shortly after its introduction: finishing second overall on the Mille Miglia in 1953; winning its class at Le Mans; coming 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the Targa Florio and also winning the Liege-Rome-Liege Rally. Indeed, Aurelia GTs were still being raced well beyond 1954 including Luigi Villoresi winning the Akropolis Rally in 1958. Aside from its competition successes, notable owners of Aurelias have included Fangio, Mike Hawthorn, Leslie Hawthorn, Jean Behra, Gary Cooper, Brigitte Bardot and more recently Jay Leno and the Earl of March! The Aurelia used the first ever production V6 engine, a 60-deg marvel designed by Francesco de Virgilio, who also developed the innovative transaxle 'all-in-one' assembly with the gearbox, clutch, differential, and inboard-mounted drum brakes. Vittorio Jano, Lancia's chief engineer, instigated putting this gearbox assembly at the rear of the car thus creating its near 'neutral' weight distribution. This brilliant concept made the Aurelia the motorsport winner it became, often beating the more powerful Alfas because of its better road-holding, brakes and weight distribution. This particular car is a sought after 4th series B20GT in which the rear semi-trailing arms of the earlier cars were replaced with a De Dion rear end, thus creating more predictable handling. It also features the most powerful engine of any of the Aurelias, the 2.5-litre aluminium unit producing 118bhp. This very special car also features the coveted 'Nardi' floor shift that is most commonly seen on the Lancia B24 Spyder. According to the official build records it was released on 25 June 1954 finished in Grigio and fitted with engine no. 3576 which it retains to this day. A desirable, UK registered 4th Series B20 GT, it is eligible for a host of historic events including the Mille Miglia, Historic Le Mans and Goodwood Revival amongst many others.

1938 Morris Eight Series II                                                                                    - Entered from the Gilder Group Collection The Series I Morris Eight was unveiled in 1935 as a rival to Ford's hot-selling Model Y. Better equipped than its competitors, it boasted electric wipers, synchromesh on the upper two gearbox ratios and hydraulic brakes. The Series II version of 1938 brought only minor changes - painted rather than plated radiator surround and disc rather than wire wheels. Some 54,000 were produced before the model was supplanted by the radically different-looking Series E. This delightfully original Series II is finished in Green over Black and is understood to have had just six owners from new; the most recent of whom bought it by accident from a previous H&H sale! Its bodywork needs some TLC, but the Morris 'starts first turn and runs like a little sewing machine'. The engine is original, as the Green leather upholstery also appears to be. The indicated mileage is a credible though unwarranted 48,000.

1963 Jaguar MK II 3.8 Litre                                                                             Featuring notably slimmer roof pillars than its MKI forebear, the immortal Jaguar MKII was as airy on the inside as it was elegant on the outside. Its monocoque bodyshell was equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension and a well located live rear axle, 12-inch disc brakes all round and recirculating ball steering. The model could be specified with a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8-litre version of Jaguar's race-proved, DOHC inline, six-cylinder XK engine. The interior was quintessentially British with its sumptuous leather-covered seats, polished wood facia and door cappings, comprehensive instrumentation and impressive row of auxiliary toggle switches. The attention to detail and build quality of the MKII were remarkable for the price. Equipped with the 220bhp 3.8-litre engine, the Jaguar was reputedly capable of sprinting to 60mph in 8.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 125mph. Some 30,141 3.8s were produced between 1959 and 1967. Finished in Dark Green with Tan leather upholstery, this particular example boasts a manual overdrive gearbox and chrome wire wheels. Purchased by the current keeper in 2012, it was the subject of a extensive restoration between 1997 and 2001. This included: a bare metal respray during which the colour was changed from the original Golden Sand; the engine was refurbished to standard specification; the original manual gearbox was replaced by a later all-synchromesh unit; the suspension was lowered and rebushed; power steering was added; the bumpers and rear lights were rechromed; the headlining, carpets, facia, wheels, tyres, spinners and radio were all renewed. More recently a Kenlowe fan, electronic ignition, new starter motor and custom header tank have been fitted. The vendor not surprisingly now regards the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and gearbox as all being in "very good order" and 'APG 401B' is offered with a fresh MOT certificate. A fine looking example of a great motorcar.

1971 Porsche 911 T Sportomatic                                                                  - A very rare Sportomatic 911 in a classic and striking colour combination - Recorded expenditure includes nearly £4,000 worth of bodywork rejuvenation in 2010 and a gearbox overhaul in 2011 - First registered in the UK in April 1971 and featuring previous MOT certificates from 1997 plus some maintenance invoices This early Porsche 911 was first registered in England on April 15th 1971. Finished in a wonderful period colour, the body had significant repairs carried out to it in 2010, as stated by the invoice for nearly £4,000 from a body repair company in Adlington, Cheshire. Further improvements were carried out in 2011 by a company in Stockport, Cheshire when they overhauled the Sportomatic gearbox and fitted a new clutch. The cost of this work was just under £3,500 and the 84,500 miles indicated on the odometer would suggest this work was carried out less than a thousand miles ago. There are several previous MOT certificates on file dated between 1997 and 2013 and the current MOT is due to expire in October 2017. Reported by the vendor to have "good" paintwork and interior, and a freshly refurbished set of original Fuchs wheels, this is a smart looking 911 with its RS style front spoiler and fetching orange hue.

1934 MG PA                                                                                                           The P Type MG Midget was launched in March 1934 as a replacement for the J2, and was claimed to have 100 new and improved features. It was powered by an all-new SOHC engine of 847cc, the standard output of which was 36bhp, which was sufficient to power the lightweight two-seater to 60mph in 32.3 seconds and on to a very creditable top speed of 76mph. The four-speed non-synchromesh gearbox had been strengthened and improved to cope with this new level of power and the brake drums increased in size from eight to 12 inches in diameter for the same reason. The front suspension included Hartford friction dampers while the rear featured transversally mounted hydraulic units, and the newcomer rode on centre-lock wire wheels. A total of 1973 MG PAs are said to have left the Abingdon plant before the model was supplanted by the incoming PB. The cost new was £222. An early example, the PA now on offer was first registered on May 31, 1934 and sports Green bodywork teamed with Black interior trim and was apparently the subject of a previous restoration by an earlier keeper - this included an engine overhaul during which one of the desirable Phoenix replacement crankshafts was installed. The vendor acquired the MG from its titled previous owner in 2014 and over the last two years has treated it to an array of new parts including: fuel pump; clutch; gearbox bearings; half shafts; hub carriers and bearings; brake linings; rear road springs; cycle wings; Brooklands aero screens; tonneau cover; set of five Blockley tyres and heavy duty inner tubes. He has also had the carburettors restored and the propshaft overhauled. He now regards the Midget as 'mechanically sweet' and 'an absolute joy to drive' and is selling the car complete with both soft top and side screens.

1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL                                                                            - Delivered new to Switzerland - c.8,900 miles since restoration in mid 1990s - Beautiful 190SL from a private collection First seen in prototype form at the 1954 New York Auto Show, the 190 SL finally entered full production in May 1955 - the year Mercedes swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300 SLR. Indeed, the graceful, new two-door, convertible grand tourer penned by Karl Wilfert and Walter Hõcker was sold alongside the road-going version of the SLR - the 300 SL - whose styling it strongly resembled. In fact, the underpinnings of the two cars were quite different and, while the 300 SL had a purpose-built tubular spaceframe (W198), its smaller sibling was built on a shortened version of the 'Ponton' Saloon (W121) platform, which was of radically different monocoque construction. The 190 SL also boasted an all-new engine - based on the six-cylinder unit of the 300 SL, it was an over-square SOHC straight-four unit of 1,897cc that breathed through a pair of twin-choke Solex downdraft carburettors to produce some 104bhp, which was sufficient might to accelerate the Benz to 100kph in 14.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 112mph. The unit was coupled to a manual four-speed gearbox operated by a lever sited between the seats. The suspension comprised double wishbones and coil springs at the front and coil sprung swing axles at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball and braking by power-assisted drums at all four corners. Built to the highest standards and among the nimblest cars of its type at the time, the 190 SL featured a well-appointed cockpit, notable comfort for its occupants and relatively generous luggage space. Under the circumstances, even the steep asking price of £2,693 did nothing to deter purchasers. The convertible could be ordered with or without removable hard top (the rear window of which was enlarged from 1959 onwards) and there was also the option of a third seat placed transversely behind the front ones and big enough to carry an adult. Last but not least, in the early years the model could be ordered in sports racing guise, complete with small Perspex windscreen, lightweight alloy doors and spartan leather-covered bucket seats. The 190 SL continued in production until 1963, when both it and the 300 SL were replaced by the W113 Series 230 SL. By this time some 25,881 190 SLs had been built, the majority of which found homes in the USA, where its combination of sporty styling and boulevard ride proved especially popular. The simply stunning left-hand drive example being sold has White bodywork that's matched to a Red hide interior. Having vacated the Stuttgart production line it was apparently delivered new to Mercedes-Benz Switzerland in 1960. At some point it then found its way across the Atlantic to the USA before being repurchased by the original owner in 1994 and imported to the UK. It was at this stage it was treated to a lengthy £24,000 restoration featuring only original 190 SL components. The Benz was then purchased by the vendor to form part of his private collection, and it was the decision to now reduce the size of that collection that has brought the car to market at this time. The vendor's view of its current condition is 'superb', and he grades the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder engine and all synchromesh transmission as all being in 'excellent' condition. '879 UYO' has amassed just 8,900 miles since the completion of the restoration and has recently benefited from a thorough check over and service. It comes complete with a collection of general invoices, full documentation and photos of the restoration, plus a current MOT valid to October 10th this year.

1955 Jaguar MK VII M                                                                                       - A later M version of the MKVII featuring LHD steering and manual transmission with overdrive - Sold new in Los Angeles, California, and repatriated in around 2011 - Comprehensively restored in England between 2011 and 2014 and finished in a most appealing colour combination According to the Heritage Certificate on file this stately Jaguar MKVII is a later M version that was built on February 15th 1955 to LHD specification and despatched by the factory to the Los Angeles dealer Hornburg, in California. We understand it was repatriated in or before 2011 as it was comprehensively restored between 2011 and 2014, with bills for the work in the history file apparently totalling more than £36,000. We are told that the work was thorough and documented with photographs and included a rejuvenation of the engine (believed to be the car's original unit) and gearbox, as well as the brakes, wiring loom, and the interior. It was finished in a most appropriate navy blue and the interior was trimmed in light blue leather and navy carpets. After the work was complete the car was registered with the DVLA in March 2014. It is apparent that the car has had little use since the restoration and is described by the vendor as being in "excellent" condition with regards to its engine and gearbox, as well as its paintwork and interior trim.

1967 Volkswagen Kombi EZ Camper Van                                                      - Entered from the Gilder Group Collection - Reputedly converted in period by EZ Camper Inc of Littlerock, California - Uprated suspension, twin carbs, Beetle 1303 gearbox, 'gas burner' alloys etc This handsome left-hand drive Splitscreen camper was supplied new to the USA and is believed to have been converted in period by EZ Camper Inc. of Littlerock California. Having spent the best part of forty years across The Pond it was then imported to the UK in May 2006, since when it has formed part of the Gilder Group Collection. It is finished in the striking combination of Black over Cream, while the sparkling interior features White leather upholstery, veneered fittings and Black and White cheque flooring. The Vee Dub boasts numerous upgrades that include: lowered and uprated suspension; twin carburettors; Beetle 1303 four-speed gearbox; and factory 'gas burner' alloy wheels, while its comprehensive internal specification includes cooker, fridge etc. The odometer currently indicates a total mileage of 86,657 and the Camper is being sold complete with an MOT valid into March 2018. The vendor informs us that the Splitscreen 'stops traffic' and we don't doubt it for a minute. The Volkswagen Type 2 (the Type 1 was the Beetle) has long since acquired cult status courtesy of such diverse celebrity owners as Jamie Oliver, Martin Clunes, Roger Daltry and Jenson Button. It has been home to generations of travelling Australians, helped hippies survive the '60s/'70s and become the transport of choice for many a surfer. Variously available in Van, Bus, Pick-up and Camper guises, it would probably have been nicknamed the 'car that changed the world' if the Model T hadn't got there first. The original Splitscreen T1 version was launched in 1950 and produced in Germany until 1967 and Brazil until 1975. It was initially powered by a rear-mounted 1100cc flat-four engine producing a modest 24bhp, but later versions like the sale car had rather more potent 1600cc ones.

1979 Lotus Esprit 'Commemorative'                                                             - No 99 from the limited production run of just 99 UK supplied examples - Subject to a machinal overhaul in 2007 and offered with an MOT into Dec 2017 - 61,000 recorded miles and offered with letter of authenticity from Lotus The first and arguably most memorable of the early Esprit limited editions was officially dubbed the World Championship Commemorative Model, but is better known to enthusiasts as the John Player Special (JPS), as its distinctive black and gold livery was inspired by the ground-effect JPS-sponsored championship-winning Lotus 79 cars of the period; as raced by Mario Andretti and Ronnie Peterson. It was originally planned to build 200, but in the end it is believed 185 were produced; 99 for the UK; 56 for the US and 30 for the rest of the world. The eye-catching specification included: gold-coloured side stripes complete with 'World Champion' lettering; gold-coloured windscreen surround and alloy wheels; gold-effect corduroy inserts for the race-style seating; three-spoke leather-clad sports steering wheel in place of the standard plastic offering; and Hitachi Digi-One radio/cassette. The 1973cc 16-valve DOHC engine delivered a feisty 160bhp, which was sufficient to sprint the 1980 lb fibreglass-bodied two-seater to 60mph in 6.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 124mph. Production ran from December 1978 to July 1979. The extremely smartly-presented example offered here hails from April 1979. It is the last UK example being the 99th built and was previously a member of a private collection. 'JNH 836T' was the subject of a mechanical overhaul in 2007 that included: the chassis being checked, prepared and painted; attention to the brakes and electrical system; new suspension bushes, front springs, gearbox bushes, tyres and water hoses. More recently the wheels have been refurbished with new wheel centres and the Lotus, currently displaying 61,258 miles, is being offered complete with: DVLA ownership history; original owner's handbook and workshop manual; Lotus authenticity letter; 2 sets of keys; collection of invoices and old MOTs, and one valid until December 27th. The vendor currently classes this extremely collectable Esprit as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim and five-speed manual gearbox and 'good' Lotus 907 engine and is said to drive 'exceptionally' well.

1976 Volkswagen Kombi Camper Van                                                           The popularity of Volkswagen's Type 2 models shows no sign of abating, and finding new homes for good examples is rarely a problem with Type 2's having such diverse celebrity owners such as Jamie Oliver, Roger Daltrey and Jenson Button. This tidy-looking left-hand drive example hails from 1976 and is finished in White over Blue and has been subject to an extensive restoration over a number of years which was completed in 2016. Fitted with a Type 4 1700cc engine with twin choke carburettors 'TKR 875R' has received an overhauled brake system, new exhaust and shock absorbers, all new window rubbers and a fresh interior re-trim with rock and roll bed. It currently displays an unwarranted 26,217 miles. The vendor now considers the VW to have 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, air-cooled engine and four-speed manual gearbox. It is offered with an MOT certificate into March 2018.

1996 TVR Cerbera                                                                                           The Cerbera's name is derived from Cerberus, the three-headed beast that was said to guard the entrance to Hades. Introduced in 1996, the model was the first Peter Wheeler-era TVR to feature the following: fixed head coachwork, 2+2-seating and in-house engines. Designed by race engineer Al Melling and inspired by contemporary Formula One practice, the new AJP8 'Speed Eight' V8 initially displaced 4.2-litres but later grew to 4.5 and 4.7-litres (a 4-litre in-line 'Speed Six' derivative was subsequently offered too). A ferocious performer, the Cerbera 4.2 was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds and 180mph with its more powerful siblings proving faster still. The 1996 example on offer is finished in the striking combination of Crimson Starmist paired with Flint Doeskin interior trim. It was originally built with a 4.2-litre engine but is now powered by a 4.5-litre one that's been remapped and dyno tested at 390bhp and 330lbft of torque. The reason behind the transplant is unclear albeit that TVR are known to have uprated several early Cerberas in a similar fashion due to a spate of failures with the smaller capacity unit. Boasting a stamped service history prior to entering the current (sixth) ownership during 2005, the TVR comes with a log of the works that the vendor has carried out himself, or outsourced, since then including synthetic oil changes every two years or so regardless of the mileage covered. Recent specialist attention included a coolant change plus new ignition coils, spark plugs and leads. The seller presently grades the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and five-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'good' order. 'P842 NON' currently displays 62,000 miles and is MOT'd to November 14th 2017.

2007 Bentley Continental GTC                                                                       Introduced at the New York Motor Show in April 2006, the Bentley Continental GT Convertible (or GTC) proved an immediate sales success. Determined to engineer the most torsionally rigid open four-seater that money could buy, the Crewe manufacturer (a) incorporated additional steel tubing within the newcomer's A-posts and windscreen frame, (b) reinforcing its sills and (c) cross braced the floorplan to a greater degree. The result was a class leading 16,595ft-lb per degree. A very near match in dynamic terms for its Coupe sibling, the Convertible utilised the same crushingly powerful twin-turbocharged 6-litre W12 engine, Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive system, massive ABS-backed disc brakes and sophisticated all-round independent air suspension. Electro-hydraulically operated, the Bentley's luxuriously padded fabric roof not only stowed away neatly but also provided almost limousine levels of refinement. Reputedly capable of over 190mph when topless, the GTC featured two sturdy steel hoops concealed beneath its rear headrests which could be deployed within fractions of a second if the onboard computer sensed an impending roll. Arguably more of a 2+2-seater than a true four-seater, the model could raise or lower its hood at speeds of up to 20mph (a nice party piece in slow moving traffic). Finished in Black with a Champagne leather interior 'VX07 PDY' has covered 85,000 miles with just 3 previous keepers. Offered with its original handbook, new front Lower grilles and shod with new tyres in 2016 the Bentley was subject in August last year to a service at Bentley Birmingham at the cost of £3,468. Described by the vendor in regards to the bodywork, paintwork, interior, engine and gearbox as 'good' the Bentley is offered with an MOT certificate into February 2018.

1958 Ferrari 250GT PF Coupe Rebodied as a LWB California Spyder       - Offered from the stable of one of the UK's foremost Ferrari collectors - Based on an original 250GT PF Coupe chassis (Tipo 508D) which is interchangeable with that of a 250GT LWB California Spyder - Correct-type subframe and bodywork expertly copied from chassis 1487GT (an orginal 250GT LWB California Spyder Competizione that was formerly part of the vendor's collection) For many the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder - be it in LWB or SWB guise - is simply one of the most beautiful cars yet made. Though, it is the former variant which boasts the greater competition pedigree with a highly impressive 5th place overall during the 1959 Le Mans 24-hours and a class win at that year's Sebring 12-hours. Of the fifty 250 GT California Spyder LWB cars made, just thirty-six are known to have been built with the preferred covered headlamps. A Competizione variant - chassis 1603GT - sold for $18,150,000 in August 2016 so ownership is necessarily a select affair. The vendor of this particular car, chassis 1241GT, has been fortunate enough to own dozens of Ferraris over the past five decades including a 250 GTO and the ex-Pedro Rodriguez 1959 250 GT California Spyder LWB Competizione which he meticulously restored during the late 1990s / early 2000s. Smitten by the enclosed headlamp-equipped ex-Rodriguez machine (chassis 1487GT), he determined to make a precise copy and commissioned a dimensionally accurate wooden body buck which took some 3,000 hours to construct just by itself! A self-confessed perfectionist with a notorious eye for detail he spent years scouring the globe for correct accessories including door furniture, light units, instruments and even the correct boot lock. There was no question of using inauthentic parts even if they were destined to be out of sight so when a suitable fuel tank could not be located a facsimile was fabricated from scratch. A connoisseur of all things Prancing Horse he knew that the later California Spyder LWBs were underpinned by the same Tipo 508D chassis as the contemporary 250 GT Pininfarina Coupe (albeit with a different subframe). Starting life as one of the latter, chassis 1241GT thus required precious little alteration to serve as a donor (though, its brakes were upgraded to four-wheel discs). One of a mere 353 examples made, it had been supplied new to America on December 29th 1958 and subsequently belonged to Charles Wray of Maryland before entering the current ownership via Thomas E Shaughnessy Consulting of San Clemente, California in August 2000. Interestingly, the engine currently fitted to chassis 1241GT had previously been installed aboard chassis 1487GT when the vendor first acquired it (and erroneously stamped up as `1487GT'). The precise origins of the 3-litre V12 remain a mystery despite a radiographic inspection carried out during 2003 suggesting 094C or perhaps 0944C as the internal engine number. However, it is a dual distributor Tipo 128D inside plug unit of the same type that would have powered a California Spyder LWB when new. The gearbox is similarly period correct albeit that it has been upgraded with a fifth gear courtesy of renowned marque specialists GTO Engineering of Berkshire. Fabricated by Clive Smart of Shapecraft UK using the aforementioned body buck, the alloy coachwork was completed and mounted to the chassis during 2003. Painted some two years later, the process of finding bits and pieces and having things done just so meant that the Ferrari was not UK road registered until July 2009. Determined that `1430 MU' should not only look, but also act, the part of a 250 GT California Spyder LWB, the vendor dispatched it to GTO Engineering in November 2015. Some ten months and over £90,000 later, the Ferrari had undergone a thorough engine overhaul (re-ground / balanced crankshaft, new cylinder liners, fresh high compression pistons, replacement bearings and timing chain etc) plus had attention paid to its cooling system, five-speed gearbox, rear leaf springs and back axle etc. Shaken down by Kevin Jones of GTO Engineering including a trip to Prescott Hillclimb, chassis 1241GT started readily upon inspection and sounded decidedly healthy. It is difficult to overstate the amount of time and effort that has gone into transforming this 250 GT from a Pinin Farina Coupe into a California Spyder LWB. Indeed, we would wager that `1430 MU' is more authentic in some respects than a few of the originals (especially if they were restored in less exacting times). Utterly convincing - to our eyes at least - this delectable Ferrari is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document, Maryland Certificate of Title, Ferrari Owners' Club dating letter, radiographic report, `no advisories' MOT certificate valid until June 9th 2017, sheaf of GTO Engineering invoices and numerous restoration photos.

1968/2010 Jaguar C-Type Evocation by Suffolk Sportscars                  - Only c.1600 miles since completion by vendor in 2010 using Jaguar 420 donor - GRP body, 3.8-litre VSE engine, twin SUs, overdrive gearbox, copies of build sheets - Magazine featured, period Suffolk registration number and Swansea V5C In many ways the XK120's success, both on and off the track, took Jaguar by surprise. Among the fastest production cars of its day, the model had obvious competition potential but the endurance racing derivative that debuted at the 1951 Le Mans 24-hours was an altogether more specialised machine. Conceived behind closed doors, the XK120-Competition - a.k.a. the C-Type - was considerably faster, lighter and nimbler than its roadgoing sibling. The work of Bob Knight and Malcolm Sayer respectively, the newcomer's sophisticated multi-tubular chassis frame and aerodynamic bodywork allowed it to conquer contemporary Ferrari, Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz opposition. Famous for winning the 1951 and 1953 Le Mans 24-hours, the C-Type may well have triumphed on the 1952 event had Jaguar not chosen to make various unproven modifications. One subsequent upgrade that more than validated its worth was the adoption of four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes. Thus equipped the C-Type driven by Duncan Hamilton and Tony Rolt at the 1953 Le Mans 24-hours became the first car ever to average over 100mph for the French endurance classic. Total C-Type production amounted to just 53 cars but even after Jaguar had turned its attention to the D-Type privateers continued to campaign the older design with considerable success. This example was supplied in kit form from Suffolk Sportscars Ltd, whose products are widely recognised as having the most accurate dimensions, and constructed by the vendor over a period of six months using a Jaguar 420 donor vehicle. An article about the build process was published in Suffolk magazine in 2011, a copy of which is contained in the history file. Completed in 2010, and registered with the period Suffolk number LGV 248, the car has covered just c.1650 miles since. Finished in Ecurie Ecosse blue, the specification includes a VSE supplied fast-road 3.8-litre engine breathing through twin SUs, 4-speed overdrive XJ6 gearbox, disc brakes all round, torsion bars, collapsible steering column and Blockley tyres. Copies of the build sheets and invoices accompany the car together with a Swansea V5C and MoT to August 2017. Constructed with great attention to detail, this wonderful evocation is now only being offered for sale due to a house move.

1951 Jaguar MK V 3.5 Litre Drophead Coupe                                                   - Delivered new to New Zealand, 3.5-litre example - Discovered in a barn in 1994 and subjected to comprehensive restoration - Prize winner at Easter 2003 National Jaguar Rally (NZ), imported to UK in 2011 The Mark V was unveiled on 30 September 1948 and launched on 27 October 1948 at the London Motor Show, sharing the stand with the XK120. Whilst the XK120 stole the show, the Mark V vastly outsold it by roughly 5,000 cars per year as compared to 2,000 cars per year for the XK120. The Mark V retained the 1946-48 driveline including the overhead-valve pushrod straight-six 2¢ and 3¢-litre engines. The chassis was new, however, with independent front suspension by double wishbones and torsion bar, a feature of many future offerings from Jaguar. It also had hydraulic brakes and an all pressed steel body. Just 108 RHD 3 ¢-litre drophead coupes were produced as most were built for the LHD export market. One of just eight examples originally exported to New Zealand, this impeccably restored Mk V was first registered to a Mrs Hope of Te Puke. It spent the following years in the northern region before being 'barn' discovered in 1994, in Taupo, central North Island. A restoration was commenced by stripping the car to the last nut and bolt. The chassis was then checked for corrosion and alignment. Finding no serious rust issues, it was dip-stripped in an acid bath and neutralised in an alkaline bath before priming and painting. The internal sections were 'tectel' treated. The running gear was then addressed with bushes, tie rod ends and bearings etc. being replaced. The braking system was rebuilt with new piping and PBR booster. A new radiator core was fitted with new aluminium castings (manifolds etc.) and the water pump reconditioned. The 3 1/2 -litre engine was extensively reconditioned and balanced and a new rocker shaft and felt wicks installed. The gearbox was overhauled with new seals to prevent oil leaks whilst new bearings were fitted to the differential. The body was then subjected to the dipping process; all panels were metal finished and body solder was used as per original specification. All chrome parts were triple plated. This process took many months, carried out by Steve Roberts of Wanganui, one of the most respected of New Zealand constructors. Interestingly, when the body was completed, following inspection by their chemists, Ford Motor Company in Auckland allowed it to be placed on their assembly line for undercoating and preparation for final painting. A new wiring loom was installed and the instruments were refurbished by Parrotts of Christchurch. Other aluminium trims were replaced with brass apart from the Landau bars. Trimming in sumptuous red Connolly hide was completed by George Lee of Christchurch, examples of his work having won numerous concours events including those at Pebble Beach. The grey hood was sourced from an ex-Coventry supplier at Wembley. After completion, the painstaking work was rewarded with a premium award for Best Restoration at the Easter 2003 Jaguar National Rally (NZ). Imported to the UK by the vendor in 2011, 894 YUE has subsequently formed part of his private collection, where is has been exercised occasionally and regularly maintained. Finished in arguably the most appealing colour combination of black with red interior, this beautiful Mk V is only being sold due to the owner's wish to rationalise his collection.

1953 Jaguar XK120 'Broad Sport' Road / Race Tourer                                        PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been contacted by Paul Newsome. He vividly remembers his father, Sammy Newsome, running a Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe as a company demonstrator because he learned to drive in it. However, he has no recollection of S.H. Newsome & Co Ltd ever retaining a Jaguar XK120 Drophead Coupe for use as a demonstrator. He also tells us that by the early 1950s his father's energies were focused on the theatre business as an impresario rather than motorsport. Apparently, it was typical for S.H. Newsome & Co Ltd to register vehicles in their own name before supplying them to private keepers and Paul Newsome feels this is most likely what happened with 'OHP 625' (hence the reason that S.H. Newsome & Co Ltd is listed as the first owner on its JDHT Certificate). Paul Newsome served as a director of S.H. Newsome & Co Ltd from 1963 - 1969. His family sold their company to Henlys and destroyed all their paper records many years ago.PLEASE NOTE: Having examined the paperwork which accompanies this lot it would appear that the Jaguar was restored / reconfigured in 2000 and not 1999. Lynx were responsible for modifying the chassis, suspension, steering and brakes etc as well as fitting the Roadster bodywork, while Broadsport installed the powertrain (4.2 litre XK DOHC engine / Getrag five-speed manual gearbox) and trimmed the interior. The completed car was subsequently featured in a marque magazine. - An Ex-Works Car as confirmed by its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate - Supplied new to S.H. Newsome Ltd & Co Ltd, the dealership owned by former Le Mans class winner and Jaguar Works driver Sammy Newsome - Comprehensively re-configured and uprated by Guy Broad to become 'Broad Sport 0009' in 1999 A winner 'out the box' in the Daily Express-sponsored One Hour Production Race at Silverstone on 30th August 1949, the XK120 also claimed victory during the following year's Dundrod Tourist Trophy with Stirling Moss behind the wheel not to mention recording strong performances at that season's Le Mans 24-hours (5th-in-class), Targa Florio (2nd when retired) and Mille Miglia (5th overall, the marque's best-ever result). No less impressive were the three Coupe des Alpes that Ian and Pat Appleyard won aboard their famous XK120 Roaster 'NUB 120'. The latter's successor, 'RUB 120', enabled the Appleyards to claim their fifth and final Coupe des Alpes on the 1953 Alpine Rally. Always one to exploit loopholes, Jaguar's Competition Manager Lofty England recommended that 'RUB 120' be re-bodied from a Roadster to a Drophead Coupe so that it could contest the Viking Rally in Norway as a four-seater (the newly introduced Drophead Coupe featuring a pair of token rear seats absent from its Roadster and Fixed Head Coupe siblings). As things transpired the Appleyards instead used a MKVII saloon for the event but 'RUB 120' did contest the 1953 Lisbon Rally in Drophead Coupe guise. Despite a typically spirited drive to second overall in Portugal, Appleyard just missed out on being crowned the first European Rally Champion. According to its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate this particular XK120 - chassis number 667032 - was built as a right-hand drive Drophead Coupe and dispatched to first owner S.H. Newsome & Co Ltd on 6th October 1953 (the same month that the similarly configured 'RUB 120' found itself in Portugal). No stranger to Jaguar, S.H. 'Sammy' Newsome had achieved Le Mans class wins for the likes of Lea-Francis, Aston Martin and Riley before campaigning various SS100s to great effect including a works entry on the 1939 RAC Rally. His dealership was among Coventry's most successful turning over £1 million per year by the late 1950s. As such, Sammy Newsome held considerable sway with various manufacturers which might explain why the Heritage Certificate for chassis 667032 includes the remark from Chief Archivist and Jaguar historian Anders Ditlev Clausager that: 'This was an Ex Works Car'. We have not unearthed any racing or rallying history for the XK120 but have little doubt that Jaguar's Competition Department would have approved of the transformation that it underwent in 1999. In becoming 'Broad Sport 0009' chassis 667032 was not only re-born as a Roadster (the opposite of Lofty England's suggestion for 'RUB 120') but also extensively uprated for fast road / eventing usage. Fed by triple SU carburettors, the 4.2 litre XK DOHC engine was reputedly reworked to deliver circa 300bhp. Allied to a Getrag five-speed manual gearbox, it drove the back wheels via an XK150 rear axle complete with limited slip differential, 3.54:1 ratio and strengthened shafts. A Panhard Rod kit and adjustable tramp bars acted on the rear XK150 leaf springs, while upfront many of the suspension components were nickel plated and their action tempered by an anti-roll bar. A rack and pinion set-up gave more precise steering and four-wheel disc brakes (four-pot callipers front / XJS callipers rear) yielded far greater retardation. Adjustable shock absorbers were fitted to all four corners and the radiator, expansion tank, oil catch tank and fuel tank all fabricated from alloy. Finished in Jaguar Midnight Blue with Dark Blue Connolly leather bucket seats, visual clues as to the XK120's significantly improved performance / handling capabilities include: a 'Monza' fuel filler cap, Works-style louvered bonnet (complete with double buckle leather retaining straps), wood-rimmed Moto Lita steering wheel, vented front wings, Luke racing harnesses and 'D-Type' Dunlop alloy wheels. Purchased from renowned marque specialist Lynx by Robert Farago of Berkshire in February 2000, the XK120 entered the current ownership the following year. Successfully re-united with its original registration number 'OHP 625' by the vendor, his ongoing business commitments mean that he has exercised the Jaguar less than he would have wished. Thus, the 2,200 miles shown by its odometer may well represent the total covered since Guy Broad reincarnated the car as a much-enhanced two-seater Roadster. Offered for sale with sundry paperwork and 'no advisories' MOT valid until December 28th 2017. A unique opportunity.

1982 Toyota FJ40 LX Land Cruiser                                                       - Current ownership since 1983 and 137,864 Km c.86,000 miles from new - Subject to a recent bodywork restoration and mechanical overhaul - Desirable late example and well-travelled previously residing in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain The origins of the long-running Land Cruiser series of 4x4s date back to 1941, when the Japanese authorities ordered Toyota to reverse engineer the Jeep. With the experience of several military trucks behind it, the company then launched the first Land Cruiser 10 years later. The name has subsequently become a byword for rugged dependability in parts of the world where even the ubiquitous Land Rover has been known to struggle. The now classic FJ40 model was in production from 1960 to 1984, and the lefthand drive version now offered is a two-door Hardtop powered by the later 2F 4.2-litre six-cylinder petrol engine driving through a four-speed manual gearbox. It was acquired by the vendor in Saudi Arabia in 1983 and then domiciled in the UK from 1985 to 1989 before a year spell in Bahrain. On return to England in 1990 it was initially garaged in the South before moving to Morpeth in 1996, where it has remained in storage until now. In recent times 'EPT 549X' has been the subject of considerable mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment, during which: the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, steering and exhaust all received attention; the body was repainted in its original shade of Beige; and many new parts installed as required. The vendor now grades the paintwork as 'excellent'; the bodywork, 'original time-warp' interior, transmission and engine as 'very good'; and the electrical equipment as 'good'. This sought after and rare LX model with its original LX interior comes with factory power steering and rides on new White, eight-spoke steel wheels shod with equally fresh Falken Landair tyres. The specification includes a sunroof and the rare option of Fairey overdrive and free-wheel hubs. This impressively-presented Toyota is now offered complete with comprehensive file detailing its 35 year history by way of maintenance invoices, global shipping documents and photographs of the vehicle in various exotic locations. The mileage currently stands at 137,864 kilometres and a large collection of spares are also available by separate negosation.

A 1971 MGBGT, registration number EHY 440K, chassis number GHD-5267324G, white. The MGB was introduced in 1962 initially as just a 2-seater roadster with a close-coupled GT arriving 3 years later providing more space for the family man. All cars (other than the V8 variant) came with the 1798cc B-Series engine producing 95bhp and the choice of 4-speed manual gearbox or optional Borg-Warner automatic. Professionally restored with a photographic record between March and September 1992, this example of a chrome-bumper GT started life as a Harvest Gold car but under-went a colour change to Glacier White at time of restoration. Over £9000 was spent. Purchased as a pristine example in March 2002 by the current owner, the car was parked-up after 2004 owing to ill health and has been sitting outside now for a period of years. However, it was running up until recently and the braking system has been fully overhauled in the past 2 years with new lines, slave cylinder, calipers and pads. For light restoration and re-commissioning, this MGB comes with a large history file including photographic records of restoration, many bills and receipts from the early 1990`s and recent receipts for the brake parts.

Jaguar XJS 5.3 V12 CONVERTIBLE 1989 - F6 XJS is a lovely example of Jaguars superb XJS Convertible that was first registered 1st of August 1989. In the following 26 years only traveling 54,500 miles and spending the last 6 of them as part of a private collection.Exterior paintwork is very nice with no rust or damage, the silver paintwork shines nicely and all the chrome work is in very good condition. The contrasting black hood is the fully electric type, in full working order and in good condition. Coming with the car are the hard to find tonneau cover and stowage bag for when hood is down.Interior, like the exterior, is in very good condition with its leather and wood trim in very good order throughout. Jaguar really did make the cabins of these cars a very nice place to be.Under that long sleek bonnet lives one of the best British engines of its time, Jaguars silky smooth but powerful fuel injected 5.3 litre V12. Almost silent when running until you press the throttle pedal, then the note changes and the scenery outside slides past very quickly, no fuss. With the roof down on a sunny day and a nice A road in front, these cars are a pleasure to own and drive.With the Engine, Gearbox, Electrics and General Mechanics all being described as “very good” by the vendor, loads of service history and paperwork from over the years, all the old MOT’s back to 1992 and a current MOT through till November this year, this Jag is ready to go. Prices are on the up now for nice examples such as this and it is now rare to find one in this order with the low reserve the vendor has set. So whether a collector, a speculator or someone looking for a beautiful classic, in our opinion this car tics all the boxes.

Landrover Defender 90 Turbo Diesel 1990 SWB Pick up - THIS CAR IS LISTED AS A TOTAL LOSS ” Estimated cost of Commercial repair was more than value of vehicle.”This very nice “Landy” has as you can see, been subject to a total loss claim in 2015. Apparently it had a minor under bonnet fire but we cannot verify this, either way it is listed as “not commercially viable to repair” and the insurers wrote it off! Not an uncommon occurrence nowadays and becoming more and more common due to the inflated rates charged by some repair companies. You tell me how many 26 year old Land Rovers that A. Have not had some damage in their life and B. Look this good?With only 104K miles on the clock it really is a very nice example. The 2.5 Liter Diesel engine fires straight up with no fuss and being this later model, it’s equipped with a five speed gearbox. On the road the turbo pulls it along very well. Brakes and general mechanics are all good and there is a current MOT through to July 2017. (Exhaust tail pipe is missing) Wheels and tyres are all very good.Interior is tidy with genuine floor mats and no sign of heavy usage. The passenger door does have the internal lock knob missing though, otherwise all good.With the demise of production, these “real” Land Rovers are getting harder to find and more expensive by the day. Without this one’s history then it would definitely be worth £8k or so, this gives someone the opportunity to own one for far less.

Porsche 911 Targa Tiptronic S 2004 - Being one of the most recognised shapes in the Car world, this superb 2004 incarnation of Porsche Motor Companies iconic 911 sports car needs little or no introduction. However being a 2004 car makes this particular stunning example a last year model of the “996” range.Coming with a full service history showing 9 stamps, with the last one at 138K so just 2000 miles ago, it really is a prime example. All areas of the car are described as “Excellent” by the vendor, from the unmarked black leather interior through to its heavily waxed and professionally valeted exterior, this car has needed for nothing while in the keep of its 3 owners. Its current owner has owned it for the last 5 years and in that time the only thing that has been changed is the Porsche “split rim” wheels, themselves an expensive option from new, have had the centers painted into a very nice gun metal grey that sets the car of nicely when contrasted against the silver bodywork.Now we all know these cars are about performance, try 0 – 60 in 5 seconds which this car is quoted at, but with its 3.6 litre 320 hp water-cooled flat-six engine and tip-tronic Automatic gearbox fitted, it is both a formidable “GT” car, effortlessly cruising at motorway or “Autobahn” speeds in comfort. Or just as happy making that daily grind of driving into work a pleasure.With its full service history, handbooks an MOT through to August, it is ready to go for its next owner.NOTE: The vendor has informed us that in December 2016 he had a full Porsche health check carried ot on this car which came back as “Very Good” and will be with the car.NOTE 2 : The personal plate currently on the car will be sold with the car.

Austin Mini Mayfair 1986 One Owner From New!! NO RESERVE - Once more we here at ECCA are proud to of been trusted by the family of the owner of “Molly” the Mini, to offer her for sale through our Auction house. This One Owner from new Mini was owned by their mother and used right up to 2014 when unfortunately she became unfit to drive and had to go into a residential home. After much soul searching, remember the family spent their formative years in this little car, it was decided to offer it via auction with “No reserve” and let the market establish a true value. Molly herself had covered only 47059 miles when we first met her tucked up in a nice dry garage. We put fresh petrol in, a set of jump leads on and off she went! Hardly surprising though as her comprehensive history shows that the last time she was driven was 11.02.14 when a service and MOT was carried out at 47054 then the garage drove her back home. A staff member drove the 10 miles or so back to our storage bay and she never missed a beat. Engine is quiet and pulls well, gearbox and clutch are great, brakes work etc etc etc. Electrics are all good but a new battery will be required. The history for this Mini is complete, including its original service book up to 18000 by the selling dealer then Peach Motors a local independent garage the rest of its life. MOTs go back to 2007 and prior to that the receipts show yearly MOT’s carried out along with an annual service, so mileage is totally traceable and correct. Along with the service book is a complete set of hand books, owner’s manuals and a workshop manual. We have decided to present the car “exactly” as discovered so you can judge just exactly how genuine it is. Yes the rear bumper needs to be replaced and there is the odd patch of corrosion here and there. But no damage on the bodywork, the original dealer sticker and number plates are still in place and all the interior needs is a good clean and some fresh carpet in the drivers foot well (heels eh don’t you just love ‘em. Carpets don’t I know!). The choice though is to restore to new or just re-commission and use?? A very rare find and here to sell to the highest bidder.

Mini Mayfair 1000 1987 - Described as a “Bonny little car that makes you smile when you drive it!” When you drive a Mini, even a bad one which this one certainly isn’t, you can understand just what the vendor means. Why the Mini is loved throughout the world and is probably the most recognised car ever built. Even BL in their darkest hours could not kill it, just “EU” impact laws finally killing it off!This nice “Mayfair” Edition has the 998cc motor and manual gearbox, giving crisp performance and the better more “Up-Market” interior complete with nicer seat trim and wooden dash. The vendor bought the car as a bit of a project for himself, running and good on the body but needing things like a new rear sub frame and as he says “A good overhaul”. This has all now been done by him and there is a current MOT through to January next year.The mileage is showing as 57K but the car came with no history so no guarantee that as correct, but the condition of things like the interior trim, which is all good, would suggest this could be correct. The engine and gearbox are both very good and again could point to the low miles showing. Exterior is very good and helping with this are a nice set of period alloy wheels that have been fitted instead of the standard wheels the Mayfair came with. Paintwork is shiny and all the bright work is good.Mechanically and electrics are now good, with any problems recently being addressed for its MOT. This is a good example of a sought after car that is ready to go and make a new owner smile.

Chrysler Crossfire 6 Speed Manual 2004 - With a very short production run of only 4 years coupled to their “retro” styling the Chrysler Crossfire was destined to become a modern day classic from the day the first car rolled off the production line in 2004. Developed during the union of Daimler and Chrysler, this stunning two-seater is based on the R170 platform and shares 80% of its components with the R170 Mercedes-Benz SLK320 and they were built by “Karmann” in Germany.This particular car was registered new in July 2004 so is a first year of production car and one of only 4000 RHD versions of this model that were built over the 4 years. Presented in a deep black gloss with matching leather interior, the exterior is very good and is complimented by recently refurbished silver coloured alloy wheels shod with new tyres ( total cost £800). Inside is lovely with no damage to the leather and “fully Loaded” with air con (recently recharged) etc as all Crossfires are.Under the bonnet sits a 215 HP version of Mercedes 3.2 L, 18-valve, SOHC V6 engine which when complimented with their slick 6 Speed manual gearbox, guarantees shall we say “brisk” performance but excellent fuel economy. In fact the vendor recently completed a 2500 mile continental driving tour during which the car was subjected to a complete cross-section of driving conditions (enough to say the speed operated rear spoiler was fully extended on more than one occasion) and it returned an average of 35.5 Miles per Gallon. Stated as driving faultlessly with no warning lamps lit on the dash. Note: The Traction control lamp appears to be on in the picture, it is not, it lights up brighter if you turn it off or if there is a fault,that is it in the normal mode.These cars are ridiculously low priced at the moment, you cannot buy a half decent used saloon car from the Far East for the sort of money they sell for! This will change, prices for good cars in good colours are now rising and a car in this condition/colour combination with only 96K on the clock and a full service history (last stamp shows 93K) will always be sought after.Currently MOT’d until May 2017 the vendor will put a new MOT on prior to the auction. His personal plate will be removed so it will be back on its age related plate by then as well.

Autobianchi Bianchina “Panoramica” 1959 - Incredibly rare especially in such original condition is this cute Fiat powered Autobianchi Bianchina “Panoramica” or “Estate” as we know it. Over the years while still in Italy, some minor renovations have taken place to the exterior but it is still substantially all original with no rust or dents. The paintwork itself has a good shine and no major imperfections. Have a look inside and you will see an original interior that is in very good order especially when you consider its 58 years old!!The engine runs sweetly with no known faults and has recently been serviced here in the UK. Surprisingly the Fiat 500 engine these cars use, pulls it along down the road quite happily and the gearbox operates smoothly, all be it with no synchromesh between the gears as standard.All the electrics and general mechanics on the car are good with new tyres and brakes being recently fitted. Being a 1959 car there is no road tax to pay and no MOT required but this car has been checked over to bring it up to a safe standard to use. So if you are looking for a collectable car that you can use and one that you will not see another of if you go to a show, then this one has got to be considered.

Stunning! This is how this 1972 VW Beetle is described. When the owner at the time set out to restore his car back to better than new condition, little did he think it would take so long or cost so much but when you carry out a full body off, nut and bolt restoration on a car, this is what happens!Completed 4 years ago now, the results of all this work are evident to any one that looks. Starting with a low mileage car that had been owned by the same family for years. This Bug was stripped to its bare bones, any and all signs of rust, corrosion or wear were removed, where necessary using genuine repair panels. The 1600cc engine was fully reconditioned and stainless steel fixings were used throughout the rebuild of the shell and chassis. Only the best quality paint was used on the body shell with many more coats laid on than Volkswagen originally used.The interior was completely replaced using new items and according to the vendor even “smells” new, rather than that musty smell old Beetles tend to have. He also says to not forget to look underneath the car as the underside gleams as well as the top!Described mechanically as driving like a new car and sounding great, the 1600 cc engine whips it along the road briskly while the reconditioned gearbox and new clutch operate perfectly. With every aspect of this car being described as “Excellent” this car is a definite candidate “Best in Class or Show”. No it’s not a cheap Beetle, quality never is, but it is probably one of the best available on the market today!

Citroen Traction Avant Long wheel Base 1952 - This lovely 1952 Citroen Traction has recently been imported from near Bordeaux in France from where the vendor completed a trouble free drive. As such you can understand it when he describes the general mechanics, engine and gearbox as all good.Having been in the long term ownership of the local taxi company’s owner during which time he completed a restoration including a rebuilt engine, which has covered apx 500 miles since. Work on the body and interior was completed a few years back and is still in very good condition, with some of the non-replaced trims showing a lovely patina of age.Although not required the car has had a UK Mot carried out and comes with all its correct French papers and a “Nova” certificate, so is ready to be registered if sold to a UK buyer. ECCA are happy to guide the new owner through the process or for a small fee, do it for them.Offered by the vendor with a realistic reserve and hard to find in this condition, ready to go, in this price bracket.

Daimler 2.5 V8 1966 - Now with us is this very pretty example of Daimler’s 250 V8 which was first registered in September of 1966. There is just something about the way these car sit with their distinctive Daimler fluted grille and rear number plate surrounds, distinctive wheel trims and badges accentuating the MK2 Jaguar lines these cars were based on. While still having the larger bumpers and over riders the 67 to 69 “250”version lost gives the appearance of a lower stance on the road.The body work on this car was restored a few years back now and while still very presentable there are one or two areas that could do with addressing if you wanted a show car (minor bubles under the paint along the boot trailing edge being the worse of it). All the chrome is nice and original with just the front screen chrome insert missing? There is the restorer’s plaque in place on the driver’s door sill.The Daimler V8 engine under the bonnet fires instantly and shows very good oil pressure and is very tidy, nicely original.Interior wise all is good with what looks to be the original leather, a little dry in places but nothing a good feed would not cure. The wood door capping’s and dash are nice and all the interior fixtures and fittings are present. Instrumentation on the dash is very nice with a “period” radio correctly fitted.Although last MOT’d up to March 2016 the car has stood for a while so a small amount of recommissioning will be in order but we can confirm the gearbox selects gears and the brakes work as we have driven it a short distance ourselves. At the moment the windscreen wipers do not operate though nor does the horn. Small details and something to give you an excuse to “tinker” with in the garage. These short fallings on what otherwise is a striking car are more than reflected in the vendors expectations of value and hence the low estimated value that has been given.

Jaguar XJ12 “Low Mileage” 1993 - For many years these incredibly rare “Biggest of the Big Cats” were much maligned and as such values slumped to where they were classed as fit for “banger duty”. Finally the market has started to wake up to just how good these cars are and as such values are now climbing. Un-molested low mileage examples like this entry are now hard to find with only 19 left registered for road use in the UK. Produced in the then current XJ40 shell for less than two years, the XJ12 version or XJ81 was powered by the largest CC derivative of Jaguars super smooth V12, a 5993cc monster that was quoted at 318 Horse Power, enough for a claimed 150 MPH!This particular car is offered for sale by the last owner’s son. His father owned the car from 2006, always maintaining the car and although not warranted the very low mileage shown of only 87000 is believed to be correct and backed up by various old mot’s and services. Prior to his father owning the car, between 2002 and 2006 the history shows it only covered 1000 miles. It was last serviced and MOT’d in October 2016 and has hardly turned a wheel since.This is not a pristine restored car, what it is though is a genuine car. Its rear arches do have signs of bubbling below the paint, there is a small scuff on one front wing and minor damage to a rear bumper corner ie exactly as his dad left it. Interior wise it’s more of the same, no real damage to the luxury leather and Rosewood interior (this was an option standard was cloth), some marks here, the odd scuff there but unusually no wear through on the driver’s seat bolsters and still a lovely cabin to spend time in. Electrically things are all fine with just a problem with the heater blower, it apparently works but only blows cold.Overall the running gear is stated as very good, engine gearbox etc are also good. So with the current MOT, tax it and use it. If you have not experienced a Jaguar V12 you owe it to yourself to do so and believe us when we say these Jags will never be this cheap again.

BMW M3 Convertible 1995 - Having recently been cosmetically refurbished, including a new convertible hood and its alloy wheels restored then fitted with new tyres. This 3litre 5 Speed manual 1995 BMW “M3” not only looks excellent but has the sort of performance that shames many modern day performance cars.Showing 100,791 on the odometer and coming with a full service history to back that up. It has MOTs dating back to 2003 when mileage was recorded as 63,004 so has only covered an average of just over 2500 miles a year in the last 14 years.Body work is finished in the rare “Daytona Violet” colour while the leather interior is in black, a nice colour combination that is very popular. Both exterior and interior are described as “Perfect, no rust, scratches or marks”, marking this particular BM out from the usual cars on offer. This is not an old thing that has been abused to within an inch of its life, received a lick of paint then sold on, but a car that has been used and enjoyed but looked after properly throughout.Under the bonnet is where the magic is, BMW’s legendary 3 Litre straight 6 engine giving 285 horses of smooth power, coupled to a 5 speed manual gearbox with ratios that give instant pull down low but effortless cruising in the higher gears. These really are a driver’s car and like anything carrying the legendary “M” designation is very sought after in the market today. Prices of even the poorer condition cars go up month on month, as good examples such as this car, become harder and harder to find. If you are looking for a good investment in a classic car, but one you can use as well, this BMW E36 M3 just might be the car you are looking for. Currently MOT’d through to August 2017 so ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.

Volkswagen T25 1915cc 4 Speed 4 Berth 1984 - This lovely classic VW camper benefits from a lot of hard work being recently carried out by the current owner. Now, unfortunately for him but not for someone else, with a loss of storage space it has to go so he will not get to use it himself!The exterior is very presentable in the white with colour coded exterior trim, giving it a nice fresh look especially with the 16” Alloy wheels he has fitted.Interior wise he has fitted the floor with a non-slip covering, the cooking side of things is now taken care of by a twin ring gas hob with an electrically pumper cold water supply to the sink (or Kettle ) The whole interior has been treated to a custom refit and now looks very nice.Mechanics are all described as very good, with the 1915cc engine actually allowing you to get somewhere at the legal limit, unlike the earlier VW Campers. The 4 speed gearbox gives a good blend of low down pulling power but sensible revs when cruising.Current MOT is through to August so plenty of time left to enjoy before the next test. Currently the Van is showing 99029 miles, not a lot of history to speak of but the MOT History shows that in June 2005 it had covered 94549 miles so a mere 4500 miles in the last 12 years!Offered at a realistic reserve, this could make a Camper Van enthusiast or A V- Dub person, very happy.

1924 Dodge Brothers Roadster                               - Rare right hand drive Roadster imported from Sydney Australia, and UK registered in April 1993 - Described as being in unrestored condition and possibly "requires light cosmetic restoration at the new owners discretion" - One recorded UK owner and in storage from 2010, and reportedly recently serviced and "all operational" This rare two-seater roadster version of a Dodge Brothers is believed to have been sold new in Australia, hence its right hand drive steering configuration. The vendor informs us that it was imported to England from Sydney, Australia, and first registered here in April 1993. Showing just one recorded UK keeper on the V5C, the car was acquired by our vendor from the recorded keeper in December 2015 and has shared heated garage space with a few other veteran and vintage cars since. Reportedly this is "one of the first cars to feature a 12 volt electrical system and starts on the button". Apparently the car was exhibited regularly at shows until 2010 when poor health meant it was stored until our vendor acquired it. We have been informed that since being brought out of storage the car has been serviced and is now "all operational". Described by the vendor as being in "good" to "very good" condition in regards to the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, gearbox, and interior trim, with the paintwork being described as "average". The car still has its Sydney dealers badge on the dashboard and is supplied with a mechanics hand book.

1965 Daimler V8-250                                               - Sold new and first registered to a lady in Jersey, Channel Islands, in October 1965, and showing just 35,000 miles on the odometer - Imported into England in 1993 and only two recorded keepers since - Restored in the early 1990's, engine and gearbox rejuvenated in 2004, and repainted again in 2016 This wonderfully coloured Daimler V8 250 was first registered in Jersey in October 1965 as J53, latterly changing to J14907 at some point, all according to the Certificate of Origin on file from April 1993. It is unknown how long the lady first owner retained the car, but in May 1993 it was registered to a lady in Chippenham, Wiltshire. The last recorded change of ownership occurred in December 2000 when the car was registered to a gentleman in Eastleigh, Hampshire. Before the car ventured to England, dated photographs reveal the car was comprehensively restored in the early 1990's, and our vendor informs us that the car received more restorative work including a "glass-out repaint in September 2016 by a multi-award winning bodyshop in London". Between these occasions, invoices from 2004 in the superbly presented history folder show the engine having received significant repairs (pistons, re-ground crank-shaft, new bearings, and de-coke and re-face of the cylinder heads), and also a "full rebuild to Borg Warner 35" in relation to the automatic gearbox. The odometer shows just over 35,000 miles and the vendor believes this is all the car has covered from new due to it remaining in Jersey for 28 years, plus the quantity of previous MOT certificates on file. Described by the vendor as being in "very good" condition with regards to its body and paint work, engine, transmission, and electrical equipment, with a "good" red leather interior.

1972 Jaguar XJ6                                                      - Two owners from new - Upgraded with 4.2-litre engine and manual o/drive gearbox - Offered with extensive history including MOTs, service book and schedules, Jaguar correspondence, invoices, original tool kit, etc. We are indebted to the vendor for the following description: "Originally purchased from Lex Mead Cardiff on 11th July 1972 as a 2.8 manual complete with the following extras: heated rear window, Sundym Glass, Inertia seat belts and Endrust treatment. It was bought for the princely sum of £2,853.94. The car has had 2 former keepers. Original ownership was from 1972 to 2000. The second owner had the car from 2000 until earlier this year. All the MOT's, original service books, service schedules, fabulous Jaguar correspondence and every invoice/receipt are supplied with the car. On reading the details it appears, as was common with 2.8 units that the original engine failed. Jaguar replaced the engine and it failed again so in 1986 when the car had done just under 40,000 miles Jaguar replaced the engine once and for all with a brand new 4.2 unit. The brakes were upgraded to 4.2 format complete with paperwork supporting the upgrade. The car has been kept in a heated garage for most of its life and hence its condition. The current owner has carried out additional work after procuring the car earlier this year. The paint was flattened back and any remedial repairs undertaken, the bodywork was deemed to be in excellent so repairs were minimal. The respray was executed using the correct original specification Warwick Grey paint and the wheels refurbished in the appropriate colour. The interior has been leather restored however there remains a small split in the driver door handle which could easily be repaired. The vendor states that all the work was carried out professionally to a very high standard. The engine has only done 17,000 miles since it was fitted and deemed excellent by the vendor. The carburettors have been stripped and cleaned along with the fuel lines and tanks, the two fuel pumps and filters have been replaced for new items. The water pump was replaced, new hoses fitted where required and the radiator flushed, the car has also received black 'waxoyle' treatment to the underside. The steering rack was replaced with a brand new genuine Jaguar unit as too was the front cross member. We refurbished the exhaust system which is 'twin stainless' apart from the down. The car still also contains the original Jaguar Tool Kit. The car has just been MOT'd, said by the vendor to run and drive superbly. There are very few faults, the boot floor cover is original but has some wear marks and the tacho is a little temperamental. This car is extremely rare as it is a 4.2 MOD, with a low warranted mileage on a 17,000 mile from new engine with every bit of paperwork. Described by the vendor as a genuinely fabulous car."

Placed into dry storage in 1981, it remained unused until recently being unearthed and treated to a service and MOT. Currently displaying 5,643 miles on the odometer, the accompanying service book stamps appear to verify its low overall mileage, following a speedo change in 1975: Pre-Delivery Inspection (Graffham Service Station): 21st March 1974 - 42 miles 1st Service 1,000 miles (Graffham Service Station): 2nd October 1974 - Mileage not recorded 'C' Service 3,000 miles (Graffham Service Station): 11th July 1975 - 7 miles (New Speedo) 'A' Service 6,000 miles (Graffham Service Station): 6th July 1979 - 3,571 miles 'C' Service 9,000 miles (T&T Motors): 5th January 2017 - 5,643 miles Vendor Condition Rating: Bodywork: 'Very Good' Engine: 'Very Good' Electrical Equipment: 'Very Good' Paintwork: 'Good' Gearbox: 'Good' Interior: 'Good'

1923 MORRIS COWLEY "BULLNOSE" - 2-SEATER & DICKEY TOURER Chassis No: 17927 Engine No: 24861 Registration No: NL 4855 Date of first registration: 23rd March 1923 Specification: 4-cylinders in-line side-valve 12HP motor, with three-speed gearbox, rear-wheel mechanical brakes, live rear-axle with semi-elliptic spring suspension all round. Colour scheme: Grey with black wings and grey "Rexine" interior. Tan Hood. History: The first of a long line of "Bullnose" radiator pattern models was offered to the public in 1913, and proved to be a most popular and successful versatile machine bringing affordable motoring to a wider market. This version of several uprated variants of preceding models replaced the original Morris "Bullnose" which had served for many years as the leading mass-production model of a sporting light-car. This particular vehicle represents a very good serviceable example of one of the early survivors of the model-type in its original format, which is now becoming somewhat hard to source. Original in detail including period colour-scheme, the car is accompanied by a file of related paperwork dating back to the late 1950s, including current V5 document, together with sundry bills, invoices and related correspondence etc. It shows little known history prior to the mid-1950s, when the then owner applied for membership of the Bullnose Club Register, (a letter signed by Lytton H. Jarman the well-known Morris historian appears in the file) and subsequently reappeared at auction during the late 1980s via Keys of Aylsham and Sotheby's in 1989, around which time it appears to have been restored and its original registration re-applied for, being purchased by the late owner some 20 years ago. Condition: An older-restoration vehicle, presented as in very good usable running order, having been constantly well-maintained by its late owner. It has an excellent hood and weather equipment in light-tan double-duck canvas material, and amongst more recent bills, shows a completely rebuilt radiator with costs in excess of £1,000.

1927 MORRIS COWLEY "FLATNOSE" SERIES I - TWO-SEATER & DICKEY TOURER Chassis No: 213969 Engine No: 241504 Registration No: OX 816 Date of first registration: 27TH July 1927 Specification: 4-cylinders in-line side-valve 12HP motor, with three-speed gearbox, four-wheel mechanical brakes, live rear-axle with semi-elliptic spring suspension all round. Colour scheme: Blue with black wings. HISTORY: Introduced to the public in c1926, this upgraded version of the preceding model and its several variants replaced the original Morris "Bullnose" which had served for many years as the leading mass-production model of a sporting light-car.

1934 MORRIS "TEN-SIX"- SPORTSMANS 2-DOOR SALONNETTE COUPE WITH FAUX CABRIOLET COACHWORK Chassis No: 17927 Engine No: 55458 Registration No: JO 8706 Date of first registration: 23rd March 1934 Specification: 6-cylinders in-line pushrod overhead-valve 10HP-rated motor, with four-speed gearbox, four-wheel mechanical brakes, live rear-axle with semi-elliptic spring suspension all round. Colour scheme: Black with black wings and black fabric roof; tan leather interior. History: By the early 1930s the well-tried, trusted and proven range of Morris Cars primarily based on their reliable side-valve engined types proved the need for a more modern approach in-line with developments in the industry. The range of cars introduced in late 1933 and early 1934 saw a new premise for the more discerning motorist, with a more sporting outlook in both design and performance. The new "Ten-Six" overhead-valve motor would become the basis for a range of more sporting machines, with bespoke coachwork offering in open & closed formats in both two and four-seater variants. Type MT12. Car No. 34/TS 24187. Engine No. 55458. Sadly, for all that the car represents, both a rarity and excellent state of preservation and appearance, the history file is very thin with no previous ownership evidence seemingly available. However, a complete engine rebuild was carried out in c1998, and from all appearances it would seem that much of the rest of the car was completely refurbished to a high standard. Condition: A fine detail is the original enamelled dashboard suppliers plate inscribed "The Morris Garages - Oxford" - this being a rare item in itself. The vehicle appears in excellent restored condition: black paintwork with leather interior trim, with opening windscreen and sliding-head sunroof. A rare model - well maintained in original specification condition. There are no old-style logbooks, but a current V5C document is present in the file, which shows the late owner to have been registered keeper of this car since 1985
