- Purchased in 1982 from the late Ralph Clarke who at the time was the R&D Manager at BMC Blackheath plant outside Capetown - Richard Hulse was a founder member of the Austin-Healey Club in South Africa. Over a 35 year period the Sprite participated in several show days, events and rallies - In 2002 the Sprite was shipped to the UK to participate in the 50th Anniversary Celebrations of Austin-Healey after which the vehicle was returned to South Africa to continue it's club life - Following the death ogf Richard hulse in 2013 the car was shipped to Ireland by his daughter and has been used little since - The car comes with a hard top, a soft top, plus seat cover that tucks in behind the seats. This attractive, apparently low-mileage (an unwarranted 28,500), South African-assembled MKI Sprite features an aftermarket hardtop and forward-opening bonnet, is finished in White over Red, and comes complete with soft top, tonneau and Heritage Certificate. It has remained in the same family ownership for no less than 35 years, having been purchased by founding Austin-Healey South Africa Club member Richard Hulse from the late Ralph Clarke, who at the time was the R&D Manager of BMC's Blackheath plant, Cape Town. During Hulse's tenure the Sprite was a regular competitor in club rallies and show days and contested several Johannesburg to Maputo rallies - it also participated in the 2002 Austin-Healey 50th anniversary celebrations in the UK. At Richard's death in 2013, the car was shipped to his daughter in Ireland, since when it has seen only modest use. She presently considers it to have 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, engine and gearbox and 'good' Red-piped Black interior trim.

PLEASE NOTE: The Maserati 4200 GT was available as either a four-seater Coupe or two-seater Spyder.   The handsome 4200 GT Spider was a genuine four-seater powered by a normally aspirated, Ferrari-based engine producing 390bhp from 4244cc. The unit was coupled to a six-speed gearbox with either manual or paddle shift. The suspension was by light alloy double wishbones all-round, to which one had the option of adding an adaptive damping system called 'Skyhook'. Braking was by Brembo four-pot callipers operating on large cross-drilled, ventilated discs. The striking 2003 example on offer is finished in Argento Touring (Silver) and trimmed in Grigio (Grey) hide. It has been in its current ownership for over two years, features the optional adaptive damping and paddle-shift gearchange and has benefited from a recent clutch renewal. The vendor grades the bodywork, V8 engine and semi-automatic transmission as 'excellent' and the paintwork and interior trim as 'very good'. The Maserati comes with full maintenance history, book pack, spare key and MOT valid to October 28th.

16 MOT certificates to April 2017 including file of receipts Vendor warrants 87,500 miles, complete owner/mileage history 5 Owners from new, original service book stamped up until 1990 at 42,000 miles Capris are pretty hot news right now and, as recently as April this year, we set a new world record price for the 3-Litre version by achieving £55,000 for Bodie's mount from The Professionals TV series. This later 2.8i example may lack such celebrity status, but is nevertheless a desirable, evidently unmolested timewarp example of this increasingly sought-after breed. Manufactured in 1984, it is finished in the classic combination of Strato silver and Grey cloth interior trim. Its five owners have achieved a combined warranted mileage from new of just 87,500 and the current keeper presently views the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V6 engine and five-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order. Indeed the only problem he cites is a slight clouding in the bottom corners of the windscreen. 'A202 LVF' comes complete with sunroof, original radio/cassette, numerous receipts, original service book stamped to 42,000 miles, two sets of original keys and MOT valid to April 23rd 2017.

PLEASE NOTE: This lot does not possess a valid MOT certificate.   - The 88th of just 175 RHD E-Type 3.8 'Flat Floor' Fixed Head Coupes made - Current ownership since 1986, matching chassis and engine block numbers - Extensively restored over several decades and still in need of shaking down Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Salon, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore. With its stunning looks, outrageous performance and accessible price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. While, early competition success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement its reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension, rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent roadholding / handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head, its 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox, the free-revving unit reputedly enabled the E-type to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph. Seemingly borrowed from a light aircraft, the wonderful turned aluminium centre console that adorned its dashboard was complemented by scalloped 'Dunlopillo' seats and a wood-rim steering wheel. Achingly beautiful yet viciously quick, the E-type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar. While any fixed head coupe is desirable, the so-called 'flat floor' cars enjoy a particularly exalted status. Dating from early in the production cycle before Jaguar responded to popular demand and had footwell recesses pressed into the model's previously 'flat-floor' platform so that it could better accommodate tall drivers, they arguably represent the automotive icon in its purist form. The 88th of just 175 right-hand drive E-Type 3.8 litre 'Flat Floor' Fixed Head Coupes made, chassis 860088 was built on 9th December 1961 and dispatched some ten days later via Henlys of London to supplying dealer Bentalls Ltd of Kingston-on-Thames, Surrey. Registered in that same county as '666 WPH' on 22nd December 1961, the Jaguar was first owned by J.G. Brigg Esq. An accompanying green continuation logbook shows that the two-seater had relocated to Basildon, Essex and the custody of Douglas Turner by March 1972. Thereafter, it is known to have passed through the hands of William Blyth of Rochester, Christopher John Ward of Northfleet, Richard William Gulvin of Gravesend and Army officer Michael John Dixon; the latter changing the E-type's colour to Red during 1976. Re-registered with the DVLA some four years later, the Jaguar was subject to a Vehicle Identity Check and has its engine number recorded as 7E4531-9. However, this is the number visible to its replacement cylinder head. The number stamped into the cylinder block adjacent to the oil filter mount is 'R3083-9' which is the engine number quoted on the Fixed Head Coupe's Jaguar Heritage Production Record Trace Certificate. Although running and driving when it entered the current ownership in 1986, '666 WPH' was soon found to be in need of extensive restoration. Abbey panels who supplied the E-Type monocoques dispensed with any internal rustproofing and the vendor recalls that once stripped to bare metal it was only the car's bulkhead, roof and chassis legs which did not require major attention. Principally comprising filler and solder the original bonnet was discarded with a new one sourced from SNG Barratt. The seller lead loaded the restored bodywork himself and some thirteen years after it was repainted there are no obvious signs of bubbling. The chassis number 860088 is stamped into what appears to be the original factory fitted 'picture frame' and the Jaguar is understood to pleasingly retain its original body plate too. A labour of love over the past three decades, the refurbishment has not long been completed and thus the E-type still requires shaking down / debugging. A notably early and decidedly rare 'flat floor' fixed head coupe, chassis '88' is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, Heritage Certificate, restoration photos, sundry invoices and hopefully a fresh MOT certificate.

- Reputedly 1 of just 15 Broadspeed Turbo Bullits built and the only LHD survivor - Exhibited at the 1973 Barcelona Motor Show and subsequently owned by renowned Spanish racing driver Rafaez Barrios - Said to have covered just 30,000km from new Inspired by the legendary Mustang, the Capri was Ford's European pony car and has a special place in many enthusiasts' hearts. With 138bhp on tap, the 3.0-litre versions of the MKI were quick cars, but a lot faster still when breathed on by one of the independent tuners of the period. Notable among these was Broadspeed who, based on their experience of preparing racing Escorts and Capris, offered both normally-aspirated and Turbocharged 'Bullit' Capris' for the road - the name was a nod to the legendary film Bullitt (with two Ts) and its Mustang-driving detective of the same name. It is thought only 15 Turbo variants were built, all of which were based on MKI 'Facelift' chassis, of which the sale car is one of only seven remaining, and the only left-hand drive example. Manufactured at Ford's Halewood plant in December 1972, it was immediately converted by Broadspeed before being shipped to Spain, where it formed part of the company's 1973 Barcelona Motorshow display. It then passed into the hands of Spanish racing driver Rafael Barrios before acquiring owners in Madrid and Coruna. After a period of storage following a minor accident it was acquired by Garcia Autos of Lugo, from whom the vendor purchased it in 2007. It was granted the UK registration 'YNE 125L' in July 2008; the same year it featured in Retro Ford magazine alongside 'EPY 302L', the oldest Turbo Bullit. Understood to have driven just 30,000 kilometres from new, this rare Fast Ford has never been restored, yet remains resplendent in its original livery of Monza Blue and contrasting bonnet, and is currently considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, Tan vinyl/cloth interior trim, 3.1-litre V6 engine and four-speed manual gearbox, and 'very good' paintwork. It comes complete with rear window louvres, boot spoiler and a fresh MOT.

Triumph's TR series began with the unveiling of a prototype (retrospectively called the TR1) at the 1952 London Motor Show. Trials revealed poor handling, however, and the design was not progressed and the new, much improved TR2 was launched the following year. Its two-seater body was mounted on a substantial separate chassis, while suspension was independent by coil springs at the front and live axle hung on leaf springs at the rear. The TR3 of 1955 was a direct evolution of the TR2. With it came minor styling revisions, a slight hike in power and the options of an occasional rear seat and bolt-on steel hard top. In 1956 the front brakes were changed from drum to disc units. The final iteration, the TR3A, appeared in 1957. It was instantly recognisable by its wider front grille, exterior door handles and lockable boot handle. It continued in production until 1962, by which time 58,236 are said to have been built. Contemporary road tests achieved 0-60mph acceleration times of some 11.5 seconds and a mean top speed of a whisker under 110mph. The 1961 'home market' example being sold is understood to have had just two previous keepers from new and to have been extensively restored around a new chassis over a five year period by a suitably qualified motor engineer. Every panel and component was evidently either replaced or refurbished, the 2130cc engine overhauled and equipped with a stainless steel exhaust system, the brakes and steering systems refurbished, the bodywork treated to a £5,000 bare metal respray, the brightwork rechromed, and new wire wheels installed. Finished in the attractive combination of Powder Blue bodywork and White-piped Black interior trim, '494 UXS' comes complete with overdrive gearbox, new hood, tonneau, side screens and documented history of the restoration.

- Handbuilt over a 3.5 year period and among the nicest Specials we have encountered - Alvis TA14 chassis, Triumph 2.5 litre engine, 4-speed manual / overdrive gearbox - Bespoke aluminium body, ash frame, alternator, halogen headlights, heated seats, aeronautical switchgear Supplied new to Squadron Leader W.J. Gear MBE, 'GSP 100' began life as an Alvis TA14. A long time attendee at Vintage Sports Car Club events and with thirty-five years' motor industry experience to his credit, the vendor became the car's sixth keeper during April 2010. Keen to create a homage to the distinctive boat-tailed two-seater grand prix cars of the 1920s such as the Alfa Romeo P2 and Bugatti Type 35, he set about completely transforming the Alvis over the next three and a half years. Already bereft of its bodywork, the TA14 was stripped to a bare chassis (which was found to be true when jig checked) before being fitted with a notably handsome two-seater aluminium over ash body. The latter was beautifully crafted by Pete Southan who was one of the team responsible for resurrecting the ex-Lindner / Nocker Low Drag Lightweight E-type. Determined to improve the car's performance the vendor installed a refurbished Triumph six-cylinder engine and four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox. The 2498cc unit has been altered to disguise its c.1960s origins but the original Alvis 1892cc four-cylinder powerplant and transmission come with the car should a new owner wish to re-instate them. Other enhancements to the Special's usability include an alternator, immobiliser, heated seats and halogen headlights. Sporting an aeronautical ignition switch, large diameter rev counter and assorted warning lights, the polished aluminium dashboard is complemented by a bespoke detachable wood-rimmed steering wheel and Navy Blue tonneau cover. A useful luggage / tool cubby exists behind the seats and the car has completed some 1,000 'shakedown' miles including a trip up the Shelsey Walsh hillclimb course in May 2014. Only offered for sale to fund another project, 'GSP 100' is among the nicest Specials we have encountered. Correctly registered with the DVLA, it comes with a comprehensive build file.

This charming right-hand drive Doctors Coupe is presented exactly as Ford intended - ie in Black throughout. It was manufactured in Canada in 1917 and granted the UK registration 'IG 4117' in January of last year. The vendor currently considers the enclosed bodywork, two-seater interior, 2896cc engine and two-speed transmission as all being in 'excellent' condition. The venerable T is being offered complete with Rocky Mountain brakes, flip-up indicators, three-stud detachable wheels plus a spare, distinctive gullwing radiator cap, wood-rimmed steering wheel, red-coloured running board-mounted Shell fuel can, V5C and owner's instruction book. Launched in 1908, Henry Ford's ubiquitous 'Tin Lizzie' was the car that set both his company and the world at large on the move. It was powered by a 20hp four-cylinder engine that drove through a two-speed epicyclic gearbox uniquely controlled by three foot pedals and a lever. No less than 16.5million examples were produced between 1908 and 1927.

JRN 239S' hails from July 1978 and started life as a standard 1800cc rubber-bumpered Roadster. However, during the vendors 20-year ownership, extensive restoration and conversion have seen it transformed into an MG of very different character. Sporting the strident combination of Vermillion (Orange) bodywork contrasted with Black interior trim, the four-cylinder engine and four-speed gearbox have been ousted in favour of a 3.5-litre Rover V8 unit driving through a five-speed transmission. The brakes and suspension (that now includes an anti-roll bar) have been uprated to suit, and the bodywork converted to chrome bumper specification before being treated to a bare metal respray in the current colour. The vendor variously classes the paintwork as 'excellent', the bodywork as 'very good', the engine and transmission as 'good', and the interior trim as 'average', and is offering the Roadster complete with electronic ignition, tonneau cover and wind deflector. The car MG never made.

The PV444 was Volvo's initial post-war offering and the company's first unitary construction model. A notable feature was the ability to fold the seats flat to create a sleeping area. Though powered by relatively small capacity four-cylinder engines, the PV444 and ensuing PV544 were rugged performers and enjoyed success in racing and rallying, with Joginder Singh winning the 1965 Safari Rally in a PV544. This attractive left-hand drive PV444 is a 1952 example that's finished in Metallic Blue, trimmed in Grey fabric and powered by the second generation 1.4-litre engine of 44bhp, which drives through a three-speed manual gearbox. It hails from a private collection and has benefited from extensive restoration. Indeed, the vendor feels 'new carpets and improvement of the boot area are all that's now required to make 'VAS 990' excellent', and he is now offering the Volvo complete with instruction book, service manual, invoices, previous MOTs and tax discs.

- Desirable Special Equipment (or 'M') model with 'C'-Type cylinder head - Veteran of numerous European and UK rallies with the XK Register - Body-on refurbishment in 1999 and major engine overhaul during 2014 (circa 1,400 miles ago) The XK120 Roadster (Open Top Sports) is the original XK sports car design and was first seen at the 1948 London Motor Show. With its handcrafted radiator grille, petite "bumperettes" and stunning lines not to mention a 120mph plus top speed, the newcomer was the fastest car then available to the public. The XK120 went on to be the most successful Jaguar XK model in racing and rallying terms, with Sir Stirling Moss's TT win in the rain at Dundrod during 1951 just one of its many successes. The XK engine proved its unbreakability, not only when the XK120 Fixed Head Coupe 'LWK 707' set a world record by averaging 100mph for 7 days and 7 nights in 1952 at the banked Montlhery track but also by powering "C" and "D" Type sports racers to five Le Mans 24-hours victories. Exceptionally long lived, the XK engine was a staple of the Jaguar range from 1948 to 1980. Of the total 30,357 XKs manufactured, 12,078 were XK120s, of which 6,347 were to left hand drive OTS specification. This particular example is the Super Sports derivative with the "C" type cylinder head providing a quoted 190bhp. Built in December 1952 and shipped to Hornburg, the California Jaguar Dealer, in January 1953, it returned to the UK in 1986 and has had only two owners since then. Nick Peace bought the car in 1991, joined the Jaguar Driver's Club and from 1996 to 2012 served as its XK Register Correspondent. He organised the XK Register's Autumn Rallies in Europe, and the UK, for a number of years and his wife continues as the XK Register Treasurer! The following numbered components are reportedly original and match the Heritage Certificate: Cylinder Head W6896-8S (the S suffix denoting its "C" type specification), Cylinder Block W6896-8S, Chassis S673307, Body F5350 and Gearbox JL14081. Although not listed on the Certificate, the Back Axle is numbered as 252 2756X (ratio 3.77:1). The longer tonneau cover is fitted with the roof and side screens stowed behind the seats, all in good condition. In November 1999 a body-on refurbishment was started, stripping back to bare metal, including reskinning the aluminium doors, the 2-pack paint system was used. The engine was disassembled and hardened valve seats incorporated, Poly bushes were fitted to the front suspension. The entire restoration is documented and all the bills are in a presentation folder together with numerous other papers dating back to the car's 1986 repatriation. In 2014 the engine was re-bored, Hepolite pistons fitted, the crankshaft reground, a new clutch assembly installed and the gearbox oil seals replaced. The only concessions to modernity are: a stainless steel exhaust (fitted by Bell Swindon in 2010), Japanese high-torque/ low-current starter motor, aluminium radiator with a Series 2 E Type expansion tank on the bulkhead, Kenlowe fan, 2x 12volt Varta batteries (housed in the original 6v battery boxes) and 15-inch radial tyres. The car is regularly used averaging approximately 2000 miles per year, (1,258 miles since the rebore and 35,800 miles since 1991). Indeed, Mr Peace intends driving it the 164 miles to the Chateau!

- 29,730 miles from new and 4 previous keepers - Original handbook, service book, Tax disc holder and sales brochure - 19 previous MOT certificates, collection of invoices and old Tax discs Ford billed the Capri as 'The car you always promised yourself' and, happily for the Blue Oval, some 1.9 million customers agreed and bought one during the production years of 1974 to 1986. The original plan for the run-out of this popular European 'pony car' was to build 500 turbo examples with the assistance of independent specialist Turbo Technics. However, that didn't quite square with the 1,038 chassis still needing homes, so the ultimate decision was to christen them 'Capri 280' and equip each one with Brooklands Green paintwork, Red-piped Raven Black interior trim and 15inch alloy wheels of the same design as those of the 2.8i. Around 10 percent of purchasers opted for the turbo conversion, while the remaining cars were normally aspirated. 'E42 PNX' is an unblown example that was one of the last of the line and in fact not registered until January 1988. It was supplied new by Wombourne Ford of Wolverhampton and still features their name on the number plates and rear window. It has had just five keepers to date, who've amassed just 29,723 miles between them and the current one considers the bodywork, Green paintwork, interior trim, V6 engine and five-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'excellent' condition. This lovely time-warp example of a much sought-after model is now being offered complete with original Ford stereo and extensive history folder containing: owner's book pack; 280 tax disc holder and sales brochure; selection of old tax discs; old-style V5; a large collection of invoices from Ford main dealers and other suppliers, plus a September 2015 one from Furrows Ltd for £412.76 concerning a major service and change of brake fluid; copy of the original Ford press release for the model; list of owners from new; 19 previous MOT certificates, plus an advisory-free one valid into April 2017.

Although it wasn't usual for a clergyman to be chauffeured in a Cadillac, Richard J. Cushing, Archbishop of Boston, Massachusetts since 1944, was no ordinary member of the Catholic Church. This imposing 1949 Cadillac 75 Fleetwood Sedan was his car and is understood to have conveyed him to some major events related to the Kennedy family and thus been witness to world history. The Archbishop, who was made a Cardinal in 1958 by Pope John XIII, was a close friend of the Catholic Kennedy family, who were also from Boston. He officiated at the marriage of John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier in 1953, he baptised many of the Kennedy children and gave the prayer invocation at JFK's presidential inauguration in 1961. Cushing also led the religious ceremony at President John F. Kennedy's funeral in 1963. Research indicates that this car would have carried the Cardinal to most, if not all of these happy and sad Kennedy events. Cardinal Cushing (1895-1970) was a man with very liberal views on Catholicism, which led him on occasion to openly disagree with the Vatican. On the other hand he also built bridges between Catholics, Jews and Protestants. Because of his views and his relationship with the Kennedy family he was quite well known in the United States and his portrait was even on the cover of Time Magazine in August 1964. The fact that Cushing owned a Cadillac didn't go unnoticed. One of his followers wrote: "I remember a long time ago, when I was a child, Cardinal Cushing in Boston, he used to drive around in a massive Cadillac." After enjoying the car for around 15 years the Cardinal had it sold in the mid-1960s. The second owner, Mrs Jeanne Klonel from Indiana, wrote him a letter to tell him that she had bought the car. There is a copy of a letter from the Cardinal in the car's files, dated 1968, to Mrs Klonel, stating: 'I pray that you may enjoy this possession for many more years and that it will carry you safely wherever you go'. He also apologised that it was just a brief letter, because he was still mourning the death of Robert F. Kennedy who had been buried only a few days earlier. In the letter the Cardinal mistakenly mentioned the car as being from 1940. Mrs Klonel's son, Dr Ronald S. Klonel, took custody of the Cadillac in the 1960s and had it refurbished. In the car's history file is an extensive correspondence, including bills and progress reports, on the restoration of the car. In the 2000's the car was bought by a collector from Finland, who in turn sold it to the present Dutch owner in 2010. The Finnish registration document stated that the Archbishop who led the JFK funeral ceremony once owned the car. The 1949 Cadillac 75 Fleetwood 5-passenger Sedan has a 160 hp 5.4 litre V8 engine. Only 220 cars of this type were made and this is number 103. It is finished in Black with a Beige/Brown cloth interior with wooden trim, and whitewall tyres and has a 4-speed Hydra-Matic (automatic) gearbox. The car is fitted with electric windows and it still has the original radio. It was one of the last Cadillacs with 'Turret-Top' styling. Although it's an older restoration the car still presents very nicely and hasn't lost anything of its authentic character. It will definitely turn heads at shows or on the road because of its fascinating history and massive size - 5,7 meter (226 inches) length, 1,83 meter (68,5 inches) height and 2 meter (82 5/16 inches) width. The Cadillac runs very smoothly and the gearbox, the power steering and the brakes are all said to be in good working order. The car comes with a large history file.

PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been contacted by a Mike Hawthorn historian to say that although the 1958 Formula One World Champion had an association with Connaught he is not thought to have ever driven 'MPH 329'.   - The first Connaught motor car built and first owned and raced by Connaught financer Kenneth McAlpine - Chassis despatched from Lea-Francis in March 1948 and delivered to Continental Cars, founders of Connaught - Incredibly documented history file and possibly eligible for the most prestigious events around the world The Connaught name is not part of every automotive enthusiast's lexicon, yet few companies did more to put Britain's post-war motorsport industry on the map. By far its biggest claim to fame was Tony Brooks' victory in the 1955 Syracuse GP aboard a Type B single-seater Connaught - the first for a British car since 1923. However, it is the two-seater road going sports cars that preceded the company's monoposto ones that concern us here. Connaught Engineering was sired by the Continental Automobiles concern of former WWII RAF pilot Rodney Clarke. The firm specialised in the sale and preparation of Bugattis and had expectations of becoming agents for the Molsheim-based manufacturer. When this did not materialise, Clarke, and his right-hand man Mike Oliver, decided to produce a sports car of their own design and the Connaught (CONtinental AUTomobiles) marque was born. The first of the new breed were the L1 and L2, where the L was a nod to Lea Francis, whose components were fundamental to the construction. The chassis for example, was primarily that of a 14hp Lea Francis with minor adjustments to the damping and steering, while the 1767cc four-cylinder engine came from the same stable. The functional, two-seater alloy body with forward-opening front section was designed by Clarke and crafted by Leacroft of Egham. The difference in specification between the L1 and L2 largely concerned the tune of the engine, and ultimately no L1s were produced, while the final L2 count was three prototypes and three production cars. In conjunction with Monaco Motors of Watford, Oliver squeezed up to 122bhp from the standard engine, courtesy of high-lift camshafts, high-compression pistons, four branch exhaust manifold, a quartet of Amal carburettors, and dry sump lubrication. The L2 unit drove through a close-ratio Lea Francis gearbox and, with a dry weight of 2130 lbs, a standard specification 102bhp L2 could hit 60mph in 11.9 seconds and achieve some 104mph flat out. The sale car was the first example off the stocks, the chassis for which was despatched from Lea Francis to Charles Follet on March 26, 1948. It was then sold to Continental Automobiles and registered to the company's major financial backer, Kenneth McAlpine of construction fame, on October 8. Registered 'MPH 329' from new, it made its competition debut the following June by winning its class at Prescott. Six days later McAlpine was 4th in the 'Miscellaneous' class of the BOC's Silverstone meeting. The following month he finished a creditable 2nd in a five-lap scratch race at the same circuit and was 2nd to the sister car of Rodney Clarke at Goodwood a fortnight later. The following month he turned the tables on Clarke by leading another Connaught 1-2 at Blandford. McAlpine achieved many further notable results before parting with the Connaught in late 1951, during the September of which 'MPH 329' was reputedly driven to 6th place in the Goodwood International Sports Car Race by a young Mike Hawthorn. The car then passed through various UK hands before being shipped to Australia, where it was raced before a 10 year spell in the York Motor Museum, Perth. By 1989 it was back in the UK and, following restoration, was seen at various Grand Prix meetings in the hands of Mike Lester. Subsequent owners have included Dr Michael 'Spike' Milligan, Peter Cox and David Duffy. The vendor acquired 'MPH 329' in 2009. Presented in traditional British Racing Green and trimmed in Black leather, this hugely significant historic racing car comes complete with a metal chest brim full of race results, correspondence, invoices, copies of old registration documents, MOT certificates and more. Of undisputed provenance, the Connaught would be potentially eligible for some of the world's most prestigious historic motorsport events such as the Goodwood Revival and Monaco Historics to name but two.

- 1 of just 438 RHD UK examples and supplied new by Nigel Mansell Sports Cars Limited - 38,315 miles from new and current ownership since 1999 - Re-painted this year with engine out service in 2013 - Original owner's wallet plus handbooks and service book - Offered with 20 old MOT certificates and collection of invoices Ferrari's mid-engined, flat-12 Testarossa was unveiled to an expectant media at the Champs-Elys£e's Lido nightclub on the eve of the 1984 Paris Salon. Though an evolution of the 512BBi, it had a markedly different appearance. In order not to recreate the high cabin temperatures of its predecessor, the Testarossa featured a pair of rear-mounted radiators rather than the 512BBi's single front-mounted one. This called for large, slatted intake ducts leading from the doors and rear quarter panels, and it was these that gave the newcomer both its distinctive looks and considerable girth - at 77.8 inches, it was nearly 6 in wider than the 512BBi. The model was also longer and higher, resulting in more passenger and luggage accommodation. The Testarossa name (Italian for 'red head') was an echo of Ferrari's immortal Testa Rossa sports racing cars of the 1950s and the engine's cam covers were painted red, as before. The five-litre Colombo-designed unit was very similar to that of the 512BBi, but featured four-valves per cylinder. Together with other improvements, this resulted in a healthy output of 390bhp - sufficient to power the sleek new Prancing Horse to 60mph in just over five seconds and on to a top speed of some 180mph. The Testarossa reigned for seven years, before metamorphosing into the 512TR and finally the 512M. For obvious reasons, examples of the 438 UK market right-hand drive Testarossas increasingly rarely come to market these days. This one, finished in the classic combination of Rosso Red bodywork and Tan hide interior, is a 1990 model that, to this day, has just 38,315 miles to its name. It was supplied new in March of that year by Nigel Mansell Sports Cars Ltd (Blandford) and is quite simply one of the nicest we have encountered, and has clearly been maintained to the highest standards throughout its life. It has remained within the same ownership for the last 18 years and the invoice from that purchase is among the many documents comprising the car's comprehensive history file. The vendor informs us that all the fuel pipes were replaced in 2001, while in 2013 the Prancing Horse was treated to an engine-out service by Key Motorsport of Silverstone, that included the replacement of all perishable items such as hoses etc and a timing belt change, and cost £4,223.53 - photos of this work are also on file. Later that year, the same company was commissioned to replace the clutch and service the air conditioning - the bill that time totalled £2,913.64. Last year Keys undertook an annual service on the car, plus the replacement of two tyres and the fuse board - the owner's expenditure on that occasion was £2,213. As recently as this year, the Ferrari has been resprayed in its original colour of Rosso Corsa; another task that was recorded on camera as part of the car's enviable history. The Ferrari's comprehensive specification includes a Tracker 24 (for which a new owner will need to renew the subscription); a body-coloured front valance which has been in situ from new; and a Sony stereo system with 10-disc autochanger. This notably desirable Testarossa is now being offered complete with: the original owner's wallet containing handbooks and service book; original sales brochure; DVLA history check confirming all six previous keepers; original tool kit; and a large collection of invoices for work carried out, tax discs and 20 old MOT certificates, plus a current one that's valid into October of this year. The vendor has no hesitation in classing the bodywork, paintwork, mid-mounted flat-12 engine and five-speed manual gearbox as 'excellent' and the leather interior trim as 'very good'. With multi-cylinder engines on the wane, the unique wail of a 180mph Testarossa can surely only become ever more sought-after.

- A 'home market' car that pleasingly retains matching chassis and engine numbers - The subject of an extensive bodywork restoration and mechanical overhaul in recent years - Factory-fitted Tan leather upholstery, Moss 4-speed gearbox plus optional overdrive, original registration number Introduced at the 1955 Earls' Court Motor Show, the Jaguar 2.4 (retrospectively known as the MKI) was notable as the marque's first monocoque design. Powered by a 2443cc DOHC XK engine and reputedly capable of over 100mph, the luxuriously trimmed newcomer proved a deservedly strong seller. Although, a short production run - 1956-1959 - meant that its MKII successor was far more populous. Sporting the wider front grille and smaller rear wheel spats introduced in 1958, this particular example also boasts individual front seats and the twin options of (working) overdrive and a dashboard-mounted passenger grab handle. Extensively restored during the last few years, the Jaguar retains its original bodyshell albeit augmented with brand new wings, closing panels, replacement spats, new jacking points, inner / outer sills, front chassis cross member and 'crow's feet'. The bumper irons, chassis rails and rear spring carriers were re-metalled, the rear wheelarches repaired and the rear valance replaced before the whole of the underside was waxoyled. A bare metal repaint was undertaken, much re-chroming done, the dashboard re-veneered, a new steering wheel fitted and the original Tan leather upholstery cleaned. The factory-fitted engine (matching block and head numbers) was overhauled and attention paid to the water pump, carburettors, fuel pump, brakes (fronts uprated with Volvo 240/60 callipers), rear axle, Panhard Rod assembly, clutch, front wheel bearings, handbrake mechanism and rear springs. Benefiting from the fitment of new radial tyres all round, the sports saloon is described thus by the vendor: 'After restoration the car probably presented as well as it had done when new and there has been only minor wear and tear to the outside since. The interior is a joy to sit in. The Moss gearbox changes particularly nicely. The car comes with its owner's handbook and service manual, two nice period documents in their own right'.

Interest in classic Porsches of all ages shows little sign of abating and, among the many derivatives, the 3.0 Litre Carreras produced for the 1976/1977 model years (I- and J-Series) are among the rarest, as only c.3,690 were made in total. Of these, a mere 58 were equipped with Porsche's semi-automatic transmission of the time - the so called Sportomatic system, and some of those have subsequently been converted to manual changes. All of which adds to the rarity and therefore desirability of the right-hand drive sale car. Finished in Metallic Ice Green and trimmed in Green and Blue tartan fabric, 'YCG 293' was delivered new to Porsche Cars GB in Isleworth and first registered on September 5th 1975. It was treated to a degree of restoration and a bare metal respray some years ago and benefited from some additional attention to the bodywork as recently as February last year, at a cost of £8,067.60. The task was entrusted to Porsche specialist bodyshop Norfolk Premier Coachworks, and included the replacement of all seals and the refurbishment of the road wheels. At the same time, the electrical system was tidied up, and a new oil cooler and oil lines installed. The car's specification these days includes a retrofit air conditioning system and, taking everything into account, the vendor presently classes the Coupe's bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, flat-six engine and Sportomatic gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order. To date, the Porsche has experienced nine keepers and covered 117,809 miles from new; very few of which have been driven in recent times. After a lengthy gestation period, the now ubiquitous Porsche 911 entered production in 1964 and, despite Porsche's own attempts to replace the model with the 928 in the 1970s, much evolved versions of it are being built to this day, an astonishing 53 years later.

- c.500 miles only, Rover 3.5 V8 with LT77 Rover SDI short shift gearbox - Quaife LSD and Sierra Cosworth brakes - Blue with Cream leatherette, MoT to April 2017 First registered in April 2013, this high specification example of the potent Dax Rush is finished attractively in blue with cream leatherette interior and is understood to have covered just c.500 miles. Powered by a Rover 3.5-litre V8 mated to a 5-speed Rover LT77 SDI V8 short shift gearbox, it produces some 220bhp and is accompanied by a dyno test sheet dated March 2016. The car's specification includes a Quaife LSD, Sierra Cosworth brakes and extenders and Ford Escort Mk4 rack and pinion steering. Performance upgrades include: Magnecor MG RV8 8mm plug leads, NGK BP6ES spark plugs, Bosch 12V V8 coil, ignition amplifier, Tornado ECU chip, Hotwire power boost valve and ACT carbon fibre trumpets. Described by the vendor as being in "good" condition as regards its bodywork, paint, engine, transmission, electrics and interior trim, it is accompanied by a Swansea V5 document, documents relating to its build and current MoT to April 2017.

A 1971 NG TF 1800, registration number OEU 284J, maroon. This beautifully presented modern interpretation of the MG TF is based on MG B 1800cc running gear. It has covered only 38,000 miles since construction with the last 3,000 being covered since 2001. The coachwork is finished in a most attractive metallic maroon with fawn double duck weather gear and side screens. The interior is trimmed in cream leather with contrasting maroon carpets, which complement the wooden dashboard and steering wheel, the chrome wire wheels and luggage rack. The running gear is taken care of by the good old B Series engine with twin carburettors which is mated to a four speed overdrive gearbox. The vendor advises us that the NG drives well and always gets positive comments when out and about. The NG is offered for auction with a large history file containing original sales brochure, maintenance receipts, previous MOTs and sundry paperwork. The vendor informs us that the car is now reluctantly for sale due to him finding the car increasingly difficult to enter and exit since a recent hip replacement.

A 1986 Watson Mini B16, registration number C397 VSF, Raptor red. This Mini is something a little different and is certainly a wolf in sheep's clothing. It was converted by Watson Specialist Rally Cars in 2009 with over £8,700 being spent in parts alone. It features a Honda 1.6 V-TEC engine and gearbox, uprated ECU and sub frame, limited slip differential, extended fibreglass body and bodykit, carbon fibre bumpers, race specification brakes all round, digital dash for recording quarter mile and 0-60 mph times. With 160 bhp on tap and a super car intimidating 0-60 mph of under six seconds, this Mini certainly packs a punch.

Toys - A Gearbox collectible 1:32 scale model of a Sopwith Pup limited edition "German Military".

A 1968 Jaguar Mk.II 240 saloon, Chassis : 1J2450DN / Engine no. 7J2844/8,Jaguar ventured into a new market for small, luxury saloons in 1955 with the 2.4 litre Mk.I, and in doing so it virtually created the niche for the compact but luxurious sporting saloon, which continues to this day with the new XE. Available as a larger engined 3.4 titre from 1957, the model really came into its own on the launch of what was known as the Mk.II range in October 1959. Featuring a wider rear track to improve the handling and disc brakes all-round, plus smaller pillars for improved visibility, the beautiful Mk.II became the definitive sporting saloon of the 1960s. Available in 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8 litre engined versions the Mk.II was also a force to be reckoned with on the racetracks of Europe. Proof of the inherent correctness of the design was that the MK II continued in production substantially unchanged through most of the 1960s. A reshuffle of Jaguar's saloon car range in 1966/67 in readiness for the new XJ6 lead to the Mk.II being subtly redesigned as the 240/340, with changes including slimmer bumpers, revised interior and more power and torque for the 2.4 litre XK engine in the 240. The last model rolled off the Browns Lane production lines in 1969. This largely original example of the 240 with manual gearbox is finished in the classic combination of British Racing Green with black interior, augmented with walnut dashboard and door cappings. Originally registered in the UK, the car travelled to Guernsey in 2006 and is believed to have covered 98,800 miles from new. It has been regularly serviced since arriving in the island and other notable recent work also includes a new radiator and brake pads and calliper seals. In very useable condition overall, the car is running and performing well and will be accompanied by an original sales brochure and workshop manual. The car will be complete with an up to date and thorough written audit of its condition (commissioned by the vendor and carried out just prior to the sale) and will be ready to provide many more years of head-turning service to its fortunate new owner.* Please note that the current four digit registration number on the vehicle, 8397, is not included in the sale. It will be offered to the winning bidder after the sale, by negotiation. If not required, the car will be supplied with a new, exchange registration number as soon as possible, post-sale.

A Limited Edition Ford Escort Eclipse Motor Car G343 DDP, first registered on the 26th May 1990, M.O.T. until 17th September 2016. An extremely well cared for example of this increasingly rare car, indicating only 61,446 miles, which appears fully corroborated by the DVLA M.O.T. test history which includes test dates and mileages as follows: 18/09/2006 - 57,799, 14/09/2007 - 58,116, 08/09/2008 - 58,376, 17/09/2009 - 58,777, 16/09/2010 - 59,151, 16/09/2011 - 59,548, 17/09/2012 - 60,060, 16/09/2013 - 60,444, 17/09/2014 - 60,732 & 09/09/2015 - 61, 335. This 5 door 1297cc hatchback in eye-catching metallic Bahama blue paint-work had a list price of £8,595, about £3,000 less than the popular Escort XR3, which it closely resembles, it was publicised as having a rear spoiler, low profile tyres, protective wide body mouldings, tinted glass, tilt/slide glass sun-roof with louvred blind, full instrument cluster with rev counter, power front windows, central locking, AM/FM stereo radio/cassette and 60/40 split rear seat back. The car was driven the 12 miles from Abergavenny to the sale-rooms and started easily and performed very well on the journey, the engine running sweetly and with unusually quiet valve gear for this well-proven push-rod engine. This car provides prospective owners with a rare opportunity to purchase a truly economical 5 speed gearbox, usable classic motor car in uncommonly good condition. It will surely attract much envy if attending any one of the increasing number of classic car events being organised. The former late owner's steering and gearstick/handbrake locks are included with the car.
