1989 Innocenti 990 SE Transmission: manualMileage:26600Innocenti were originally an affiliate of the British Leyland Group, until being bought by Alejandro DeTomaso in 1976. The Innocenti 'Nuova Mini' was produced between 1974 and 1993 and was originally a replacement for the Mini. It was designed by Bertone, featuring a three-door hatchback body and retained the trusty 'A series' engine. The mechanics would eventually be replaced by Daihatsu units in 1982. A longer wheelbase version, the 990, was released in 1986 and had more modern Mini Clubman underpinnings. The later cars were true rivals for cars such as the Renault 5 and Fiat 127, but were never offered in right hand drive guise, so are something we are not so familiar with on these shores.This particular example spent a vast majority of its life in Turin, Italy with one owner from new until its import to the UK in August 2021. The car is showing less than 27,000km, which the condition would suggest is very likely genuine. The overall condition is very impressive, with only a few age-related marks, which are to be expected. The car was fitted with new tyres in 2022, and had a new battery in March 2023, meaning it is ready to take on the summer.Being powered by a 993cc Daihatsu three-cylinder engine, this may well be the perfect starter classic for a young enthusiast or make for an ultra-rare daily classic. Inside you will find electric windows and wing mirrors, internal hatchback lever and importantly a five-speed gearbox. Parts supply is strong and our vendor reports that the car attracts attention and sparks conversation wherever it goes.

1971 Jaguar XK140 by Aristocat Transmission: manualMileage:Built with Jaguar's written permission, the Aristocat uses all Jaguar components housed in a steel spaceframe chassis. For ease of build the Aristocat uses the XJ Series suspension, un-modified, resulting in the car being five inches wider than the XK120 or XK140, but only one inch wider than the XK150. The additional width, added down the centre of the car, allows for a more spacious cockpit and boot than the originals and drivers of well over six feet can be easily accommodated.This 1971 registered Aristocat XK140 is presented in matte black, built on a XJ6 Series I as per the UK registration document, this example has been built to be used as a fast road alternative to having a real XK140. The engine was built six years ago at a cost in excess of £5,000 and has only covered 12 miles since then due to the vendors ill health. A 3.4 litre Jaguar engine with blue printed bottom end, fully balanced with a fast road Stage 2 head and Kent fast road cams which are all coupled to a E-Type four-speed manual gearbox. The exhaust system is a full stainless-steel example built by 0JZ at the cost of £2,500 with the suspension from the Jaguar XJ6 to the front and rear and coupled to an XJS 3.6 litre manual power lock differential. Requiring some further minor recommissioning and a little TLC, this example can be finished as per a period XK140 or you could carry on down the path of the 'rat look' fast road weapon, either way it is an inexpensive entry into that fabulous 3.4 litre Jaguar engine and a lot of fun.Guide Price £12,000- £15,000Interested parties should note that the clutch slave cylinder has failed on this example and thus it will require trailering from the auction.

Superb one owner GT3 Touring with the manual gearbox, 723 miles from new and finished in Shark Blue.For over 20 years, Porsche’s GT3 has cemented its legend within the 911 dynasty, one which enhances the 911’s natural penchant for performance with additional flair and emotion. Powered by a high-revving, naturally aspirated flat-six linked to the rear wheels by – ideally - a manual gearbox, the GT3 is the purist’s 911.In February 2021, Porsche introduced the GT3 version of the eighth-generation 911, the 992. The numbers were very impressive; 3,996cc, 24v, naturally aspirated flat-six, 503bhp @ 8,400rpm, 347lb/ft @ 6,100rpm, 6-speed manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive, 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds, 199mph and 22mpg, however, it’s not simply numbers that separate it from its predecessor, the much revered 991. A new front suspension design utilised a double wishbone set-up rather than MacPherson struts and rose-joints allowing Porsche’s engineers to increase camber stiffness, and give the front tyres a far more consistent surface contact patch. In order to maximise the benefit of the performance from the double-wishbone set-up at the front, the multi-link rear suspension was also totally revised. Weight was saved in a number of areas including lightweight glass, new front wheels, new rear fascia, stainless exhaust and a carbon rear lid resulting in the new car weighing the same as the 991 GT3 even though it's physically larger.In 2017 the ‘Touring Package’ was introduced giving a new focus to the GT3’s capabilities. It's brief, to refine the magic of the Motorsport department and make this 911 more suited to the road. Still retaining the winged GT3’s explosive 500bhp engine, the Touring’s more subtle styling proved captivating.  The most obvious difference is the omission of the standard car's distinctive swan-neck fixed rear wing replaced by an automatically extending rear spoiler which generates downforce at high speeds whilst maintaining the classic 'flatback' 911 profile. In the case of the 992 GT3 there are only a few aesthetic details that distinguish the Touring from its be-winged sibling including painted front bumper inserts, aluminium window trim (rather than black anodised) and more interior surfaces trimmed in perforated leather and brushed aluminium.Offered here is, essentially, a brand new 992 GT3 Touring offered from its first and only owner and finished in Shark Blue with a black extended leather/Alcantara interior. At the time of cataloguing just 723 miles had been covered from new, and this particular example is fitted with the desirable manual gearbox. The car is supplied with factory-fitted PPF and the Manufacturers Warranty remains valid until November 2025. The full specification is listed below:C16 UK-Supplied.

We understand that less than 50 911 (992) GT3 Touring models with a manual gearbox arrived in the UK with, we imagine, the majority of these now tucked away in private collections.

Number 246 of only 390 allocated to the UK and, at 41,876 miles, this lovely, original example is surely one of the lowest mileage and best-preserved examples currently available. It’s the early 1990s and the 1.8-litre Clio 16v is locked in combat for hot-hatch glory with the ageing Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9. It’s a better car by many objective criteria, but not a convincingly faster one and, in the eyes of many, the GTi still holds the crown. It took a truly special car to convincingly wrestle supremacy away from Peugeot, to really bury the old-timer and to refine the class in the process. That car was the Clio Williams.Sold with the compelling marketing strategy of an F1 team association (celebrating Alain Prost's fourth F1 title in 1993 with Williams, which used Renault engines at the time), the Williams was actually an 'homologation special' in the familiar mould. It was built because RenaultSport wanted to go rallying and the class maximum displacement stood at 2.0-litres. Given this was still the era of homologation into Classes A and N, Renault simply had to build 2,500 road cars to qualify, although it would eventually build many more. The initial production run of the Clio Williams was limited to just 5,400 examples, of which only 390 arrived in the UK.Naturally, RenaultSport did a thorough job. The suspension used a reinforced front subframe borrowed from the Clio Cup racer, plus uprated springs, dampers, rear torsion arms and thicker anti-roll bars. The track was increased by 34mm and the 7J Speedline alloys were half-an-inch wider than the 16v’s and distinctively gold. The gearbox was stronger, too, with revised ratios. There was just one exterior colour offered for the first generation of Williams – ‘449’ Metallic Sports Blue – and the cumulative effect of body (already blistered of arch, front, and rear, and bulging of bonnet from the 16v), paint and those golden wheels was as close to hot-hatch perfection as many felt it was possible to get. It's a small car with a wheel pushed to the very extremity of each corner; a little shorter, slightly wider, and significantly lower than a Clio 172 or 182.Codenamed ‘F7R’ and developed from the 16v’s 137bhp F7P unit, the new engine featured a longer stroke and bigger bore size and benefitted from a stronger crankshaft (borrowed from the diesel Clio) plus new pistons, camshafts and conrods, with bigger valves and a lightweight exhaust manifold. Output was now 148bhp at 6,100rpm and 126lb/ft at 4,500rpm, not enormous by today's standards but 85% of the torque was available from 2,500rpm and the car only weighed 981kg. The original Clio Williams (‘Phase 1’) was the lightest incarnation of model, lacking the electrics necessary for the sunroof or the mirrors, and was the only one to support a metal plaque stating the build number. The factory specification included central locking, electric windows, and blue-faced instrument dials with three co-ordinating blue auxiliary read-outs atop the centre console displaying the oil level, temperature and pressure – all very purposeful.The car presented here is a 1994 Renault Clio Williams, #0264 of the original production run known as ‘Phase 1’. It was one of only 390 examples allocated to the UK and was delivered new by Renault main dealer, Taylor & Ackroyd of Halifax, in February 1994. It was pre-registered by Renault with zero mileage covered and was purchased new, along with a second example, by Clifton Garage of York. It was initially registered in the company’s name (up until 1998), with all servicing carried out 'in-house' before being purchased from his company and registered personally (V5C records confirms). This owner was also the proprietor of a Hyundai dealership in York, which then offered #0264 for sale and it was sold to its second private owner (original sale invoice confirms) in 1998. The new owner then had a Gemini alarm/immobiliser fitted, which is the only non-Renault part on the whole car.#0264 was driven and maintained by him, accompanied by all invoices up until 2005, when it went into a personal garage, where it stayed until 2017. During this period the car was regularly checked and run-up and, in 2017, it was returned to the road with the only work required to pass an MOT being a new steering rack and brake callipers. For the next five years or so it was only used occasionally covering around 1,000 miles per year and not having had an MOT advisory since. In December 2021, the clutch and timing-belt were replaced, along with routine full service. The indicated mileage at the time of cataloguing was 41,876.It's accompanied by the original book-pack, including the service booklet, an original PDI inspection sheet, numerous maintenance receipts and a huge file of paperwork to verify all the above, with all pre-2005 MOT Certificates present to verify the mileage.Small, but important, details like the correct coolant having always been used, the original stereo still present (and in full working-order), the suit-carrier parcel shelf remaining in A1 condition and the heat shields still being original, all pay testimony to the car’s diligent ownership and quality of condition. These very special performance hatchbacks are now rare, even rarer in this sort of original and unrestored condition, with only a handful of owners and a very worthy addition to any car collection based on its status, history and amazing state of conservation.  SpecificationMake: RENAULTModel: CLIO WILLIAMS PHASE ONEYear: 1994Chassis Number: VF1C57M0510863255Registration Number: L803 SUBTransmission: Manual Engine Number: C005084 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 41876 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

A highly significant Jaguar, Chassis #2822 - the last regular-production E-Type to leave the Browns Lane production line. Superb provenance, expertly restored and in exceptional condition.A decade after the Jaguar E-Type Series I arrived, the design progressively matured through 1971 with the introduction of the Series 3. Designed to showcase the new smooth and torquey 5.3-litre engine, originally developed for Le Mans, the Series 3 cars were available as a Roadster (convertible) or a 2+2 Coupé. The new cars were easily identifiable by the large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tyres, a larger bonnet bulge, updated bumpers, four exhaust tips and a badge on the rear that proclaimed it to be a V12. It also featured uprated brakes, power steering as standard and a large horizontal scoop added to the underside of the bonnet to assist with cooling. The interior was entirely new in the V12, with more comfortable seating, stylish new door panels and a smaller, dished and leather-rimmed steering wheel. Being slightly larger and altogether much softer in nature, the E-Type in Series 3 form had lost the wildness of its youth but gained the long-legged touring profile, to which it was arguably better suited. Approximately 7,990 Series 3 Roadsters were sold worldwide before production ceased in the mid-1970s.In 1974, Jaguar decided to end E-Type production in style with a final run of 50 black Roadsters, known as the ‘E-Type Commemorative’, each featuring a plaque bearing a facsimile of Sir William Lyons’ signature and the very last of these, chassis #2872, went straight to Jaguar’s Museum, where it remains today.The car presented here is 1974 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V12 Roadster with the desirable manual gearbox and is a highly significant Jaguar, being chassis #2822 - fascinatingly, making it the last regular-production E-Type to leave the Browns Lane production line (excluding the commemorative run). This matching-numbers car is one of the finest examples of its type available anywhere in the world.Built to a right-hand-drive specification, it was ordered in British Racing Green with a Tan leather interior and manual gearbox. Its original owner was based in Edinburgh, keeping it until 1981, before two further London owners between 1981 and 1987. By 1994 it was acquired by a collector in Hong Kong, who would go on to own it until 2019; the car spent most of those 25 years at the collector’s holiday home in Hawaii, where it was well-preserved and used sparingly. Having been shipped to the collector's European home in Austria in 2015, a full restoration was commissioned by marque experts (all thoroughly documented with images/invoices), which took three years to complete, culminating in a refinishing in its original British Racing Green, along with new tan upholstery. The resultant car is, quite simply, superb.Notably, it features the correct period chrome wire wheels and an upgraded wooden steering wheel. Original instruments and other original features have been retained. Incredibly, it was not driven since, having been carefully preserved to ensure it remained in excellent condition. Our vendor then bought the car from an international auction house in 2019, importing it from Austria and registering it here in the UK. He has enjoyed only a few hundred miles in it, it now indicating just 25,884 miles (atoc), spending approximately £5,000 on its maintenance/upkeep in that time. It is accompanied by two full files of paperwork, a lot of invoices showing the work done, the vast majority done by Jaguar and/or Jaguar specialists.Needless to say, this is an historically significant Jaguar that would stand proud in any collection. SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: E-TYPE SERIES 3 V12 ROADSTER MANUALYear: 1974Chassis Number: 1S2822Registration Number: KLO 48NTransmission: Manual Engine Number: 7S16520SA Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 26000 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Owned by our vendor from new, this Defender has been upgraded with a leather interior, new mechanicals and a mammoth JE Motorworks 4.8-litre V8.An icon for over 68 years, production of Land Rover's Defender ceased in January 2016 with more than 2,000,000 having been built since the original Series I arrived in 1948. Never has there been a car that has so captured the imagination of the world. Land Rovers have saved lives, won wars, delivered aid and hope, conveyed Kings and Queens and numerous Popes, ferried injured animals from the lowliest sheep to the proudest lion to safety. The Land Rover has conquered ravines, deserts and snow, broken records and, along the way, won the hearts of millions.By the late 1990s, Land Rover had begun to realise that most Range Rovers rarely saw turf, and fuel efficiency was at the forefront of the suburban driver’s mind, so development of a more refined diesel engine for the Range Rover and Discovery began in earnest. Ironically, during this time, the V8 Defender had begun to appeal to the 'lifestyle' end of the market and a number of limited-edition cars were developed and marketed by the company. Over the past decade, this has led to a new sub-market for upgraded used Land Rovers with leather interiors and more powerful engines. Proving popular for occasional use in a similar way to a classic car, a well-finished, canvas-topped 90 packing a V8 engine is regarded as the most in demand.Very few of these 'restomod' cars can boast single ownership from new, however. This example was purchased new by our vendor, an architect, on 12th March 2010 and used as a daily driver for commuting to his practice and, when required, for muddy site visits. In 2021, at which point it had covered some 104,000 miles, our vendor decided to give the car a new lease of life. A new canvas tilt was fitted over the newly trimmed green leather seats which complemented the Keswick Green paintwork, however, the most serious part of the project was the engine and drivetrain.A new gearbox, clutch, transfer box and exhaust system was mated to a very special 4.8-litre V8 built by the industry leaders in Land Rover V8 upgrades, JE Motorworks of Coventry. Famed for their decades of work in preparing racing Land Rovers engines for the Paris to Dakar rally, they have commercialised their 50-years of experience by providing private individuals with precision engineered engines for retro fitting into their Land Rovers. Our vendor chose the 4.8-litre V8 and auxiliaries as a bespoke installation and the result is very impressive. We note that the current price for such an engine, according to the JE Motorworks website, is £39,995.This seriously 'cool' Defender has been enjoyed by our vendor and his family for some 5,000 miles since the conversion and it's presented to auction in smart order and ready for the next custodian. The history file incudes service history records, receipts, the V5C and an advisory-free MOT valid until 18th April 2024.A rare opportunity to purchase a very smart Defender, professionally upgraded by acknowledged marque experts and all commissioned by the Land Rover's sole owner from new.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: DEFENDER 90Year: 2010Chassis Number: SALLDVAS7AA791891Registration Number: HJ10 NPDTransmission: ManualEngine Number: JE-2456 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 108000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Green LeatherClick here for more details and images

Sparkling Rally Escort in 'build fresh' condition with an extremely rare Millington Diamond 2.0 ‘McRae’ R4-stamped power unit and a massive spec. Currently set up for tarmac rallies, this exceptional Escort has never been used in anger and has covered just 300 non-competitive miles or so since completion. It was prepared for a customer who subsequently no longer required it, and consequently still displays the relevant sponsorship decals. It remains in 'build-fresh' condition throughout with an enviable specification based around its extremely rare and desirable power plant, a Millington Diamond 2.0 ‘McRae’ R4 stamped block, one of just 20 such examples produced by Millington Engineering in conjunction with Colin, and we believe the last one of the ‘McRae’ series produced.With a purposeful and superbly detailed interior equipped with an abundance of high-end parts and safety features it's clear that this was a 'no expense spared' build resulting in a rare, functional and competitive, in the right hands, Mk2 Escort.  Wherever you look the finish is exemplary, be that internally or externally, so much so that this particular Escort could very easily hold its own on the show circuit, but clearly that is not the intention especially as it's accompanied by an MSA Passport valid up until 22th July 2027 providing numerous competition opportunities for the next custodian.

Number 16 of the 75 right-hand cars destined for the UK and accompanied by a comprehensive service history. Offered without reserve.Back in the late 1990s, fresh under Ferrari ownership, the rejuvenated Italian marque, Maserati was ready to take on its rivals. Its latest weapon of choice was the 3200 GT. Designed by Italdesign, the car didn't just make it to Evo Magazine's inaugural cover, it soon found its way to the hearts of many car lovers globally. But for those who wanted their brand-new Maserati to be a bit more special, the 3200 GT was also launched in a special edition called the Assetto Corsa. Its limited production run meant that in the early noughties, you could own a Maserati that was not just more driver-focussed but also rarer —just 75 of these right-hand drive cars were officially imported into the UK. Developed from the 3200 GT Automatica, the special edition was limited to 250 units and was available in three colours (Grigio Touring, Nero Carbonio and Rosso Mondiale).‘Assetto Corsa' translates to ‘race set-up’ in Italian and it’s in this area that the main changes have been made to this stylish Maserati. The ‘handling package’ included a lowered suspension set-up – some 15mm lower than the standard car with stiffer springs, a larger diameter anti-roll bar and a variable electronic suspension system which allows the driver to adjust to a number of individual settings. The main feature of the Assetto Corsa package was the adoption of an intelligent electronic damping system allowing automatic adjustment of each individual gas strut depending on the level of vertical and lateral acceleration. Using processing data from a set of sensors, the suspension automatically adjusted up to 14 different settings and the traction control could be turned off.Nothing under the shapely bonnet had changed and the Assetto Corsa continued to utilise the twin-turbocharged version of the 3.2-litre, dual overhead camshaft V8 engine first seen in the Gandini-styled Quattroporte, developing 370bhp at 6,250rpm and mated to a 6-speed gated manual gearbox. The Assetto Corsa also adopted a larger front anti-roll bar, stiffer springs, Pirelli P-Zero Corsa soft-compound tyres, Pagid racing brake pads, bespoke ventilation ducts, a new steering servo with faster response, ergonomic sport pedals, perforated Connolly leather interior, 'Titanium-effect' painted 15-spoke, 18" alloy wheels, an ‘Assetto Corsa’ script on the sill kick panels and red brake calipers.First registered in 2001, this particular Maserati 3200 GT Assetto Corsa, according to the dedicated plaque on the dashboard, is  number 16 of the 75 right-hand cars destined for the UK. Finished in Grigio Touring with a black interior, it’s accompanied by a comprehensive service history and the current MOT is valid until January 2024. It had covered just 47,200 miles at time of viewing, is in very good condition throughout, having been maintained as and when required, but does show some minor wear demonstrating that it has not been wrapped in cotton wool but has been used as intended and is probably all the better for it. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the potential on offer.These svelte Italian coupés go particularly well, sound great, seat four in a fabulous interior and are rare, being one of 250 examples worldwide. All the markers for future investment appeal and great fun while you are waiting.NB; The registration number illustrated in our images does not form part of the sale.

Formerly the property of Alan Fenwick, Director of the RS200 Owners Club, the car has now covered a warranted 8,442 miles. Comprehensively restored by Arch Motors in 2014.The RS200 was born in the era of Group B rallying, undeniably the most extreme period in rally history with all competing manufacturers turning every dial up to 11. The power was immense, the courses dangerous and no matter how high the driver skill was, it was always outmatched by the sheer bravery of piloting these machines at full chat. While Ford’s competitors derived their rally cars out of road cars, Lancia with their S4 Integrale, Audi with their S1 Quattro and Peugeot with their T16 205, Ford took a more extreme route and built a rally car and derived a road car from it purely to tick the homologation boxes.Produced by Ford Motorsport in Boreham, England, from 1984-1986, the plastic-fiberglass composite body was designed Filippo Sapino of Ghia Design Studio, featuring a mid-mounted engine, four-wheel drive, and a front mounted gearbox for ideal 50/50 weight distribution. The chassis was designed by Formula 1 designer, Tony Southgate, and Formula 1 engineer, John Wheeler so the car had a real recipe for greatness.Power came from an 1,803cc Ford-Cosworth BDT engine fitted with a Garett T03/04 turbocharger, producing 250bhp in standard road-going trim, although as production progressed more power became available. At the time, Group B regulations required manufacturers to assemble 200 road-going versions of their race-bred competition cars. With time, it has become clear that Ford did not manage to sell 200, with Justin Smith, the Ford RS200 authority, believing as few as 147 were actually sold.The RS200 presented here, Chassis #113, is very special, having just one former keeper and single enthusiast ownership since 1990 when our vendor purchased the car from Alan Fenwick, on just 152 delivery/transportation miles. Since then, it has been treated to the most outstanding life, accomplishing everything one would do given the opportunity of owning an RS200 from new, including track days at Goodwood, Brands Hatch, Donnington, Silverstone, and Thruxton.According to our vendor, the RS was used for enjoyment on the road as well and always performed faultlessly, including being stuck in an M25 traffic jam on the return from Brands Hatch. As an owner, he was a member of the RS200 Owners Club Ltd. during the 1990s until it closed, and there are photos of the car attending various Club meets and track days.Alan Fenwick had been a Director of the club for many years, and there is a lovely period piece written by him for the club on how he came to own #113. Originally ordered by Tom Cahalane of Sun International, California. Thankfully the car never left the UK as Mr. Fenwick bought this allocation, as well as #163 from Mr. Cahalane and #182 from a cancelled ‘Middle-Eastern King’ order which was for an RS200 Evo. #113 was registered G901 TJD, which sat nicely alongside Alan’s other RS200s which wore G801 TJD and G900 TJD.In this article he states how #113 was fitted from new with the very rare 350bhp power upgrade as well as every Tickford option including electric windows, the rally pod (not currently fitted but supplied with the car) and the rally-specification dog-clutch selector, which allows the driver to control the four-wheel drive torque split with the secondary red gearstick. While this is not one of the 20 ‘S’ specification cars that were sent to Canada to receive these upgrades, #113 essentially has every ‘S’ part except for the extra air intakes.Within the vast history file there are ten MOT certificates (1993, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2022) supporting the remarkably low mileage of just 8,442. The car saw little use from 2006 until 2016, as other projects took over, but it was kept in dry, secure storage until it was sent away for servicing. There is a copy letter available that was sent to the DVLA confirming that it had been off the road for 14 years.During its time off the road, the RS was kept inside a sectioned wooden box in our vendor's warehouse during the 1990s so it was protected from both prying eyes and errant forklift trucks, again with photos making it look like the car is being unboxed like a remote controlled car.On 9th July 2014, #113 was sent away for an age-related routine inspection and delamination was discovered in some areas of the chassis. This was to eventually benefit the car since it meant that a major structural restoration became inevitable. We understand that no other RS200s have been subject to this process due to the sheer difficulty and time-consuming nature of the job. The work was carried out by Arch Motors (who built the original tubs) and there is a letter on file confirming the work against chassis number AM085 with a plethora of photographs and invoices. Two new floors were made and fitted along with a strong back beam within the tunnel that was made to keep everything in place and the floors were replaced one at a time to ensure everything lined up perfectly.During the overhaul and over recent years, a good selection of items have been replaced including:Serviced/replaced fuel pumps, injectors, piping, sound proofing and wiringFive new BF Goodrich 225/50R16 92H tyres in July 2017Shock absorbers refurbished by Thyssen-Krupp Bilstein 18/3/2015Re-bushed with Powerflex bushes from Julian Godfrey EngineeringNew clutch from TechCraft, WarwickSix-point, FIA-approved race harness for both seats plus standard retractable beltsTransaxle rebuilt by one of three individuals who built original units in period for FergusonBrakes uprated to 315 mm diameter in 1990sThe car has a limited-edition, signed ‘Stig’ steering wheel rather than the standard red one.It’s supplied with an original Workshop Manual and parts manual included in both paper form and CD as well as Ford Motor Sport Dealer Price List 1988, RS200 Parts List 1988 – Issue 1, RS200 Owners Manual and Service Parts List – Issue 2, all in pdf format.Make no mistake, these RS200s are blisteringly fast with 0-60mph delivered in just 3.8 seconds, and this is a fully-specified example with all the bells and whistles and with a truly unrepeatable history file, running and driving exceptionally well.After 33 years of ownership, it’s time for this low-mileage RS200 to find its next home, perfectly suited to any enthusiast or collector alike. This is a real 'pride and joy' example of these very rare 'Group B’ rally cars for the road and #113 in gleaming Diamond White is a must for any collection of Performance Fords or significant motorcars. SpecificationMake: FORDModel: RS200Year: 1986Chassis Number: SFACXXBJ2CGL00113Registration Number: G901 TJDTransmission: ManualEngine Number: GL00113Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 8430 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey/RedClick here for more details and images

A bespoke TT RS professionally built to break records with its 80-year-old owner. Offered at the Supercar Fest with a slot booked on the Runway for Sunday!Offered here at the Supercar Fest 2023 is a very nicely built Audi TT RS that has been thoughtfully modified with the intention of breaking speed records, and may well be the fastest Audi TT RS in the world. Our vendor’s declining health now dictates that the time has come to sell the car, and this is an opportunity to take ownership of a famous TT, well known in Audi and speed-record circles, and held in much regard as a well-engineered, very fast road car. Excitingly, subject to cleared funds, the winning bidder will be able to enjoy a demonstration run on the Sywell runway on the Sunday with the opportunity to set the fastest time of the day.The car will be presented to the sale after having a complete spanner and systems check-over by the company originally commissioned to develop the car from a standard TT RS into something capable of producing 1,400bhp when using High Octane Race Fuel and able to sprint from 100-200kph in 2.94 seconds.This car has been extensively developed primarily with acceleration and straight-line speed in mind, and there is too much information to list here, but a detailed spec-sheet is available for interested parties. Naturally, the engine has been stripped and meticulously reassembled with competition parts bearing in mind the likely power output, the gearbox rebuilt with a lightened flywheel and similarly the clutch and drivetrain rebuilt with components that will handle the substantial levels of torque. A new large turbo with a bespoke F1-spec intercooler system and a bespoke manifold have been fitted and fuelling is through secondary injectors on a custom fuel-rail with brushless pumps and Aquamist meth-injection. Fuelling and engine management are the responsibility of the latest version of S7 Syvecs ECU.Retardation is provided by a set of Audi R8 Ceramic brakes and handling by a set of custom-made Bilstein B16 coil-overs with Hadlex 4-wd traction control. Beautifully presented in all black, the little Audi is finished off nicely with a set of lightweight TSW 19’’ alloys.Somewhere in the region of £90,000 has been invested to create this incredible Audi TT RS and it has now been brought to market at a very sensible guide. This is a real ‘Q-car’ that appears almost standard from the outside, however, when the lights change it becomes evident that the adjective 'ballistic' seems more appropriate.*Supercar Fest Runway demonstration run on Sunday subject to cleared funds*Please contact our team for further details and a full build specification*Professional images to follow shortly SpecificationMake: AUDIModel: TT COUPÉYear: 2011Chassis Number: TRUZZZ8J2B1900996Registration Number: V999 BHPTransmission: AutoDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 79371 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Believed to be one of only two H.J. Mulliner Drophead Coupés, this late production example was first delivered to the BSA Chairman Sir Bernard Docker. Sporting a delightful patina, the Bentley retains its original interior.Launched in 1955 as a replacement for the long-running Mark VI/R-type, Bentley’s new S-type was more closely related to the equivalent Rolls-Royce, the Silver Cloud, than ever - radiator and badges apart, there were no differences between the two. Under the stately bonnet Bentley’s superb six-cylinder engine was revised with a light alloy cylinder head and the new box-section chassis boasted many improvements, including hydraulic brakes all round. The perfectly proportioned, traditional styling of the S-Type and Silver Cloud was by John Blatchley and to this day remains the very epitome of British luxury motoring. Although Standard Steel coachwork was fitted to the vast majority of chassis built, there were still a small number of cars bodied by independent coachbuilders such as H.J.Mulliner, Park Ward and James Young, however, the unitary construction of the S-Type’s successor and all subsequent models, all but ended such a traditional association.Completed on the 4th September 1959, B20HA is one of just two convertibles styled to Body Design Number 7492 by H.J.Mulliner. Bentley Works paperwork in the file contains details of the car’s initial build. The order reference was BS:5897 and the finished car was scheduled to be delivered on 27.08.1959 so it was a week late. The car was to be finished in Shell Grey with a Putty coloured hood and Red upholstery. Specific options included “No. plates XXA 262 supplied and fitted, Radio 200R, Dunlop tubeless tyres, Electrically operated windows, Power operated hood, Hood cover, Badge bar with 4 badges, Zip-fasteners to backlight and finally, Initials ‘BD’ to doors”. We understand that the car's final cost was £7,266 which would have bought a couple of comfortable three-bed homes in 1959.That ‘BD’ referred to the cars first owner, Sir Bernard Docker KBE, of Claridge House, London W1. Sir Bernard was the Managing Director of the BSA grup of companies, Chairman of Daimler and the Anglo-Argentine Tramways Company and was awarded a Knighthood for his work as the Chairman of Westminster Hospital. The Bentley was a present for his second wife Norah Collins, a former showgirl. She was the widow of Sir William Collins, the President of Fortnum & Mason and also the widow of Clement Callingham, the head of Henekeys wine and spirit merchants.You have to respect Lady Norah’s perspicacity in marrying (and outliving) three millionaire husbands but, we understand, that she may have been a bit of a nightmare. Her notorious parties on their 863-tonne Motor Yacht Shemara, her outrageous spending, talking her husband into commissioning a gold-plated Daimler for her, and her outspoken approach meant that during the fifties she was seldom out of the tabloid newspapers who christened her “Naughty Norah”. There are books written about her escapades but, inevitably things started to take a turn for the worse when the Rainiers banned her from Monaco, and indeed the whole of the Cote d’Azure, a similar thing happened in Jersey when they moved there and she finally ended up in Majorca.B20HA passed briefly through the hands of agent Neville Hamwee who managed to find the car’s next owner on 29/11/1960.(It was never registered in his name). Incredibly it was another vivacious young woman, Maureen, Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava who was equally newspaper worthy but more The Times and Country Life. She was originally Maureen Guinness, heir to the brewing family, friends with the Royal Family and the original society "It Girl" as christened by the press. She was a blonde-haired, pre-war beauty, who dated celebrities and the aristocracy, was photographed for Vogue by Cecil Beaton and was the inspiration for Osbert Lancaster's cartoon character, Maudie Littlehampton. She too had three husbands and kept her first husbands title, the Fourth Marquess of Dufferin. She owned the Bentley for 25 years until late 1985 when it was sold to James Carroll of Bexleyheath for £22,000. There is correspondence in the file between the Marchioness and Mr Carroll some of which refers to Mr Carroll’s intention to restore the car and possibly change the colour.The next set of invoices in the file are from 1997 addressed to Mr and Mrs Carroll from P.J.Fischer Classic Automobiles of Putney. A quote from them refers to sorting out some paint issues “on lower blue section of body”. A substantial five-page invoice from them totalling £6,244.46 and dated 17/02/1997 details lots of work to the car which appears to be all mechanical and not cosmetic.The Bentley’s next owner was Godfrey Hickton of Worcester who acquired it on 18/05/2007. Shortly afterwards it appears that he commissioned Lea Francis Cars (Barry Price) of Alcester to restore the car and return it to its original Shell Grey. There are dozens of invoices and bits of correspondence between the owner and Lea Francis, all hand-written and hard to read, but it appears that many thousands of pounds had been invested with Lea Francis with the work still carrying on over two years later. At some point in 2009, it appears that Mr Hickton sadly passed away, as the final batches of invoices were addressed to the 'Executors of R Hickton' and the V5C lists the new owner as Mrs Jane Hickton on 19/07/2010. There is an invoice in the file from Hampton Coachtrimming for £3,989 dated 17/06/2010 for a complete new hood and associated parts.B20HA was then acquired by the legendary collector of British cars, Dr James Hull and, in common with the rest of Dr Hull’s extensive Collection, joined our vendor in 2014. There is only one further invoice in the file since then and it’s from Denyer Classic Cars on 04/06/2018 and appears to be for a service and recommission including all fluids, filters, coolant system flush, brake service (master-cylinder seals, hoses and a bleed), road test and an MOT.XXA 262 is accompanied by old tax discs, MOTs, V5Cs, the aforementioned history file with period newspaper articles, 3 x Original Bentley Instruction Books, Smiths Radiomobile operating instructions, the Maintenance Instructions for the hood operation, and instruction booklets for the heating and air Conditioning and the automatic gearbox.With a mileage of less than 50,000, at least two restorations and being one of only two cars built to this design, B20HA is a very desirable coachbuilt Bentley in its own right, but, for many of us, its fascination lies with its first two owners. Arriving in High Society from diametrically opposed corners of the social spectrum, these attractive, vivacious, captivating women managed to find six millionaire husbands, fill newspaper pages for a decade and are still known as ‘Naughty Norah’ and the ‘It Girl’ over sixty years later. There can’t be many society events that B20HA hasn’t attended and a few secrets it’s been asked to keep!

Lovely manual gearbox C2 from 26-years ownership in fabulous condition and benefitting from an exceptional service history.The 993 was the final generation of the air-cooled 911, and as such will always have a special place in the affections of Porsche enthusiasts. It's also widely said to be the last of the 911s that were built whilst engineering integrity overruled accounting pressures at Porsche. 20 years on, it still looks modern - a truly timeless design. It was introduced in the autumn of 1994 and was claimed to be 80% new with more curvaceous bodywork and a number of new panels creating a much smoother and more integrated look, however, importantly, this new style was still every inch a 911 in the traditional manner, with the profiles of the doors and rear quarter windows remaining unchanged from earlier models.The biggest change under the skin of the new 911 - the 933 -  was the new multi-link rear suspension, giving greater driver confidence, less road noise and excellent ride quality. Designed to give a level of passive rear-wheel steering (the 'Weissach effect'), thus controlling the way the suspension behaved under cornering, braking and acceleration, it transformed the 911. It was also the first 911 to be equipped with power steering and an advanced ABS system. Utilising the same 3.6-litre engine as the 964, mated to a development of the worthy G50 gearbox, but now with six forward gears or the smooth Tiptronic automatic gearbox, the 993 from 1995 produced 272bhp enabling a top speed of over 150mph and acceleration to match.Silverstone Auctions are proud to offer this beautiful Carrera 2 that has a service record which is second to none with 19 stamps in the book with Official Porsche Dealers Reading (AFN) and Swindon. The story begins, however, when our vendor purchased the Porsche in July 1997 from Porsche Zentrum in Dusseldorf whilst working in Germany. A few months later, in September 1997, he returned to the UK bringing the Porsche with him consequently ensuring a continuity of maintenance that’s truly impressive over his 26 years of ownership.Finished in Polar Silver Metallic, it's fitted with the optional premium softer black leather interior which has been treated twice annually since 1997 and still looks perfect today. Factory-fitted options included 'Sports' suspension (10mm lower and slightly stiffer), automatic air-conditioning, electric heated and adjustable seats, a limited-slip differential, power steering, a Blaupunkt radio and CD player, onboard computer and 17’’ cup-design alloy wheels. For UK driving, it has twin rear fog lights and adjustable dipped beam.Part of the 911's perennial appeal is the purity of line of the early cars, often compromised by the later addition of protrusions, however, devoid of a sunroof, rear wash wipe and high-level brake light, the top line of this 993 is wind-tunnel perfect.The car's overall condition is exceptional and testament to our owners care and attention. There are a couple of very minor blemishes, commensurate with its 74,983 miles (120,572km) and it still rides on OE-fit Bridgestone Potenzas. The carpets have always had over mats and the interior is immaculate. The original speedometer (supplied with the car) was replaced with a newly manufactured Porsche unit in August 2021 with the mileage showing 115,304km and the new unit now reads 5,268km. It comes with its original Porsche box and the change is documented in the service record.In June 2022, the car toured Europe in a convoy of fellow Porsche enthusiasts and behaved perfectly, covering 2,200 trouble-free miles in two weeks. Subsequently, in August 2022, it was issued with a fresh MOT Certificate indicating 'no advisories'. Garaged and cosseted all of its life, this is a super example of the last of the air cooled 911s in exactly the specification you would want and, short of going back onto its German plate, it's about as original as you could hope to find.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 (993)Year: 1995Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99ZSS314488Registration Number: M278 UDPTransmission: ManualEngine Number: M6405-635 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 121000 KMMake: LHDClick here for more details and images

Absolutely pin-sharp 550 Maranello presented in classic Ferrari colours with low mileage supported by an impeccable Ferrari-only service record.Firmly placed in Ferrari's history as one of their finest modern era big GTs, the 550 Maranello's combination of elegant lines and legendary front mounted 12-cylinder engine, meant that these cars had the potential to become instant classics. The 48-valve, 5.5-litre V12 developed 485bhp at 7,000rpm and the 6-speed manual gearbox complements a slightly more even torque curve, ensuring that the power delivery was a little less frenetic, whilst excellent weight distribution and delightful road manners make the 550 Maranello a truly refined driving machine, whilst still capable of almost 200mph.Offered here in our May event at the Supercar Fest is a beautiful 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello, a right-hand drive example supplied new to the UK and first registered on 11th September 1998. Finished in classic Ferrari colours with Rosso Corsa paintwork and a Sabbia leather interior with matching carpets and red brake calipers, a superb colour combination that really suits the Pinifarina profile.This collectable V12 Ferrari is presented to our sale in outstanding condition, the paintwork retains a deep gloss across the entire body and the interior shows virtually no wear. On test the engine fires on the first turn of the key sounding strong and healthy and the electrical equipment functioned correctly. It's evident that this is a very well looked after Ferrari and the service record supports this. The speedometer indicated just 23,900 miles at the time of cataloguing.Accompanying the 550 is a large history file including the original Schedoni leather book pack which has the Ferrari manuals along with the original service book showing 15 Ferrari main agent service stamps. The most recent service was at 23,800 miles completed by a main dealer with superb knowledge of these 1990s models and the car will have a new MOT Certificate prior to delivery at our event. Also within the file are invoices, old MOT Certificates and a current V5C ready for export or transfer.In summary, this is a modern classic front-engine Ferrari powered by a powerful V12, driving the rear wheels through a gated, manual gearbox – a configuration suited more to those who appreciate raw, analogue driving pleasure. The 550 is great looking GT that appears to get even better with age and is a comfortable and long-legged sports car that will devour the miles on road trips across Europe. This example, however, in such fine order, with low miles and low ownership might just end up in a collection with other landmark classics.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 550 MARANELLOYear: 1998Chassis Number: ZFFZR49C000113266Registration Number: S694 ERCTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 23900 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: TanClick here for more details and images

Blistering acceleration and incredible handling with a power to weight ratio of 400bhp per tonne.The Superlight R400 uses a two-litre Cosworth engine producing 210bhp and 150lb/ft of torque at 6300rpm. It weighs just 525kg, resulting in a power-to-weight ratio of 400bhp per tonne and a 0-60mph time of just 3.8 seconds. The car was the first Caterham model to benefit from new laser cutting and robot welding chassis technology and the result is a 12% increase in torsional rigidity.Assessed by the RAC at the time, they concluded:“Mated to a new robot-jig welded chassis, the R400 provides the driver with even more confidence to plant this legendary sports car into corners. The rigidity of the space-frame has increased by 12% and the greatly reduced flex provides improved grip, improved feedback to the driver and ultimately more speed on the track. The torque characteristics of the R400 power plant provide instant performance and, more than ever before, there is an emphasis on ensuring all the messages from the road are faithfully transmitted to the driver through the suspension and steering.An improved progressive feel to the rear suspension has been achieved through no fewer than 30 changes to the dampers, including improvements by Bilstein to reduce rod to guide friction levels, plus optimisation on the anti-roll bars and road springs. Sitting purposefully on bespoke Avon CR500 tyres and 15" Caterham-designed alloys, the R400 is fitted with a limited slip differential, 6-speed gearbox, wet sump and composite bucket race seats as standard”.Offered here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive example presenting in fabulous condition. The current private owner has recently treated the car to a full service carried out by Caterham and the mileage, at the time of cataloguing, was 22,808. Our vendor is generously including the appropriate registration number, R40 OGM (R400 GM) with the sale.This versatile little car is street friendly, and track compliant. It's a proven fact that Caterham’s still represent the most cost-effective way to enjoy true supercar performance, handling and braking making this exceptionally well-sorted R400 worth a closer inspection.SpecificationMake: CATERHAMModel: R400 SUPERLIGHTYear: 2007Chassis Number: SDKRD5LC470031718Registration Number: R40 OGMTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

One of only 16 GTS variants supplied new to the UK with the 'wider wheel' option, two owners from new (the last for 47 years) and just over 49,000 miles.The new Dino 246GT was an absolute delight from all angles. Its beauty, handling, engine note, mid-engined layout, unusually good all-round visibility and comparative affordability made it absolutely irresistible. The voluptuous bodywork, which many people regard as the prettiest ever to grace a road-going Ferrari, was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti and covered a tubular chassis which carried wishbone independent suspension at each corner. The 190bhp engine, with four overhead camshafts, was mounted transversely behind the driver and in front of the rear axle. Power to the wheels was transmitted via drop gears to the transverse 5-speed gearbox, in unit with the differential and engine sump. With rack and pinion steering and a mid-engined configuration, it was a revelation in terms of road holding and stability, nothing had been made like this before and it left its larger V12-engined siblings in its wake.There was an addition to the range in 1972 when the Spider version was introduced. With the exception of the detachable roof, there was little difference between the two models but the 246GTS, as it was designated, has become all the more desirable as a collector's car, particularly as only 1,274 were produced in its three years of production. Of those cars, only 16 UK-supplied GTS Dinos were specified from new with the “Wide wheel/Housings" option which refers to the flared wheel arches and sand-cast Campagnolo wheels fitted by the factory before despatch and are known, colloquially, as “Flares”.Delivered new to Maranello Concessionaires, this rare Ferrari 246 GTS Dino was onward bound to Ferrari Dealer, Sytner of Nottingham, and subsequently to its first owner at his home, the Grade One-listed, Hazelbury Manor in Wiltshire. According to Order Number D/542, it was originally finished in Nero 20-B-50 with a Nero 161 interior, Nero carpets and specified with electric windows and 7.5'' wheels, making it one of the 16 original 'flares' cars. The history file includes the original Ferrari S.P.A order correspondence from May 1973 confirming the specification and extras.It was later purchased by our, now deceased, vendor in 1976 from Mike Young of Romford and had been in his ownership ever since, encompassing 47 years of ownership on Mersea Island in Essex. A dedicated sailor, capable racer of Tornado catamarans, engineer and local entrepreneur, he was a well known resident of the Island and the Dino enjoyed similar status.In 2014, he decided to change the colour to Rosso Corsa and this was entrusted to the contractors tasked with much of the Rolls and Bentley work for the renowned specialists, P&A Wood. Some nine years later, the paintwork continues to present really well, a tribute to the craftsmen involved. The history file contains notes of various oil changes and purchases and the car is accompanied by two boxes of spares and the original carpets and door cards.OTO 69M has covered just 49,197 miles from new and is a very usable example, not too precious to be driven on a regular basis but, with a little detailing, able to offer a good account of itself on the showground. We doubt whether many other Dinos can match this ownership timeline, backstory and comprehensive history. SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 246 GTS FLARES DINOYear: 1973Chassis Number: 07056Registration Number: OTO 69MTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 0011352 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 49137 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: CremaClick here for more details and images

A superbly original example, on offer from 33-years ownership, just 42,000 miles and in an enviably wholesome condition; a rare find indeed.The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963. These final cars (before being replaced by the more complicated 964) were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche's original design. Launched in 1984 and reviving the ‘Carrera' name for the first time since 1977, these were the ultimate 1980s sports cars.The all-alloy, flat-six engine, which had been fuel-injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, giving a torque-rich 231bhp - enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupé to over 150mph, with 0-60mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. Cars built from September 1986 onwards were fitted with the more user-friendly G50 Getrag gearbox, but all 3.2 Carreras feature galvanised bodies, which together with Porsche's legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long lasting. The car presented here is a C16 (UK-supplied) 1988-model year ('J' Series) example (with the preferred G50 manual 5-speed gearbox) Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 'Sport' (for-the-UK-only Sport model – hence, black lip front spoiler, a rear 'whale tail' rear spoiler, Sports seats - more dished squabs than the basic seats - and Bilstein Sport shock absorbers).On offer from a diligent 33-year ownership, this 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Sport (G50) has covered a fully verifiable 42,000 miles and is in the sort of original condition you now rarely find. It's finished in Grand Prix White, complemented by a blue fabric/leather interior and is a standard factory 'Sport' model with Fuchs alloy wheels, front and rear spoilers, electric pack, sports seats and a sunroof.Our vendor became the car’s second keeper when she bought it in 1990 from AFN Porsche. She has owned numerous sports cars over the last 30 years or so, but has always retained this 911, only using it when at the Family’s country home. It's been truly loyal, and in return, has been lavished with servicing, always garaged and only driven in the summer months. The annual routine sees it being taken off the road in November, garaged during winter, and only pokes its nose out in early April (or a bit later if the weather isn't great) and serviced by a local mechanic ready for use. The condition speaks for itself, it is ‘just right’ in the places where many examples are not; it’s not perfect, there is some patina and evidence of use, but it is extremely wholesome, (smelling just right, as original classic Porsches do), unrestored and as a mechanically fit as they come.This car has never required any major work due to its regular servicing, low-mileage and garage storage. Rarely have these true classic 1980s 911s lived such a pampered life in the hands of so few owners. Small details like two sets of keys, factory stickers still in situ, a complete Porsche tool-roll, jack and inflation kit, and an original car care kit, all help support this dutiful ownership. As you might expect, it's accompanied by its original book pack, including the service booklet and a large file of invoices for servicing/maintenance. This is a lovely genuine example of one of the most popular and sought-after Porsche models. SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 CARRERA 3.2 SPORT COUPE G50Year: 1988Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ91ZJS101252Registration Number: E130 HLUTransmission: Manual Engine Number: 63J01545 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 42053 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Attractive, beautifully presented, low-mileage, manual gearbox, 360 Spider from 12 years trusted ownership.In 1999, Ferrari knew that it was time to replace their much loved 355 and consequently the 360 was introduced to critical acclaim and immediately set a new benchmark for affordable 'supercar' styling and performance. The 360 Modena design was revolutionary, making extensive use of lightweight materials in its construction resulting in a much lighter car along with substantially increased rigidity. Ferrari also paid particular attention to improving the under-body aerodynamics using knowledge gained from their Formula 1 programme and the 360 boasts a completely flat bottom with two prominent rear diffusers. The new model was always intended to have a convertible counterpart and, in 2001, the Spider was unveiled utilising the same 400bhp, 3.6-litre V8 engine displayed underneath a glass panel. The complex mechanical operation of the retracting roof necessitated significant engineering changes for the Spider including enlarging the side air intakes and moving the inlet manifolds towards the centre of the engine.We are delighted to be asked to offer this lovely low-mileage Ferrari 360 Spider that's been privately owned and enjoyed by a trusted friend of Silverstone Auctions for the last 12 years. It was supplied new to the UK in right-hand drive, specified with the infinitely more enjoyable manual gearbox, classically finished in Rosso Corsa with Crema leather and Rosso carpets, optioned with extra wide, factory-fitted racing seats in carbon and leather-covered roll hoops, and benefits from the fitment of a Tracker.The indicated mileage, at the time of consignment, was 17,812 and this is supported by a full service history indicating a recent full cambelt service. As can be seen from our images the car remains in superb condition with the Rosso paintwork emanating a deep shine, the interior crisp and fresh and the engine bay appears immaculate.Sensibly guided with a lovely history, it's rare that examples of the Ferrari 360 come to market in such well-preserved condition. The 360 is a great-looking modern classic that is fast becoming sought after and, if you only plan to use your Ferrari in fair weather, then it makes sense to have the option of a soft-top and enjoy that gloriously addictive V8 soundtrack.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 360Year: 2004Chassis Number: ZFFYT53C000138514Registration Number: YJ54 GLATransmission: ManualEngine Number: 860263 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 17000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Crema Click here for more details and images

The almost mythical V-Spec R34 GT-R. This modestly guided example might be the final opportunity to acquire a GT-R V-Spec at a sensible budget.The R33 GT-R was a good car, but many found it to be too bulky in design and too heavy to be a worthy successor to the R32 GT-R, which the R34 sought to rectify, and did so with flying colours. Released with a shorter, sharper design and the performance to match, it’s safe to say the bite truly matches the bark. For a car released in 1999, the R34 came crammed full of technology including a 5.8" LCD multifunction display in the dashboard, showing seven different live readings of engine and vehicle statistics such as boost pressure, oil/water temperature and throttle percentage amongst others.It arrived with aggressive new styling, a stiffer bodyshell and a reworked version of the bulletproof and highly modifiable RB26DETT twin-turbo inline-six mated to an all-new Getrag 6-speed gearbox and transfer case. The electronically controlled Super HICAS rear-wheel steering system was retained. Unlike some other performance cars of the 1990s, Nissan did not neglect the braking system and fitted Brembo brakes with 300mm vented discs, although further upgrades were available from after-market suppliers to cope with later increases in power.The V-Spec (Victory Specification) was offered with a number of upgrades over the standard R34 GT-R and came equipped with arguably one of the most technically sophisticated four-wheel drive/steer chassis in the world: the ATTESA E-TS Pro system. The V-Spec also benefited from an active limited-slip differential at the rear, firmer suspension and lower ground clearance, as well as a rear carbon fibre air-diffuser.The right-hand drive Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec on offer here was first registered in Japan in February 1999 by its original owner who kept it until 2015. It was enjoyed by its second keeper for a further two years and subsequently exported to the UK and registered here in October 2017, at which point it was purchased by our vendor to add to his private collection.Finished in gleaming Nissan White (QM1), the car's incredible condition belies its 24 years and 164,085km (101,958 miles) however, having been in our vendor's private Collection for a number of years the car might need some light recommissioning. It's accompanied by its V5C, original manuals etc., Japanese Shakens (the very stringent two-year inspection), a photocopy of the original Japanese Export Certificate (for the DVLA) and the car will have a fresh UK-MOT prior to the sale. With its aluminium rear wing and alloys as delivered on the car new, these early versions of the R34-generation Nissan Skyline GT-R series are coveted by collectors because they are increasingly difficult to find, particularly in standard form. This V-Spec example is very rare in the UK.This car represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a rare example of arguably the fastest appreciating modern classic in the fastest appreciating sector of the market which showcases just how capable these Japanese manufactures were at building phenomenal cars for both road and track. The imminent end of the 25-year import regulations in the US means that, in a year or so, the whole of America will be a market for the R34 GT-R V-Spec possibly rendering this one of your better investments and, in the meantime, you can enjoy this hugely competent Japanese 'rocket-ship'. SpecificationMake: NISSANModel: SKYLINEYear: 1999Chassis Number: BNR34001416Registration Number: S646 TCVTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 164085 KMMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

A very rare, UK-supplied, manual gearbox 3.0 CSi benefitting from a photographically documented bare metal and mechanical restoration.The post-war renaissance of BMW began in earnest in the 1960s with the introduction of two pivotal models, the compact 02-Series - the forerunner to the huge-selling 3-Series - and a larger, visually striking CS Sports Coupé, referred to internally as the E9, which evolved to become the 3.0 CSi, the car offered here. With its beautiful lines, purposeful stance and pillarless doors, styled by famed German coachbuilder Karmann, the CS grabbed instant attention. Powered by a superbly-engineered straight-six, 3-litre engine, this fast, sharp-handling cruiser had performance to match its looks. BMW now had a new face look that would come to define the company's image for the rest of the century. The E9 Coupé is perhaps the only sporting two-door of its era that offered style, pace and build quality to rival the best of British and the exotica of Italy, without being too expensive.In 1971, the 3.0 CS made its debut in the UK, followed swiftly by the introduction of the more powerful 3.0 CSi fuel-injected version, becoming BMW's first 200bhp plus machine, giving it real on the road punch and reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds and 139mph. Interestingly, the 3.0 CSi is rarer in right-hand drive, manual transmission configuration than the much feted 3.0 CSL, with just over 400 being made between the ‘226’ and ‘435’ series. In recent years, sale prices of its big brother, the legendary 'CSL' have dramatically risen and, not unnaturally, the CSi has begun to follow. In part, perhaps due to the infrequency that these cars are actually seen on British roads, with the BMW Club UK estimating that as few as 120 right-hand drive examples of the 3.0 CSi have survived to the present day.This car, one of some 200 early-series cars built in right-hand drive, was registered on 3rd September 1974 to its first owner in Surrey. With some five owners in between, the current keeper was registered on 30th September 2003, according to the accompanying V5C. Online MOT records show the odometer reading as 24,708 miles on 14th March 2007 and, after a decade off the road, the car flew through an MOT on 10th May 2017 at 26,654 miles. Stripped back to its bare shell and subject to an extensive programme of cosmetic and mechanical restoration, the photographic records on file document the work.Presenting beautifully today in Fjord Blue Metallic with a black leather interior, the odometer reading was 26,689 miles at the time of cataloguing. With today’s classic car market favouring rarity, style and performance, we can think of no other contemporary that comes close to this car at this estimate. Rarer and better appointed than the Escort RS 2000, sportier than the Mercedes SLC and with more power than Porsche's 911 from the period, it's as rare as the equivalent exotica of the period but without the high maintenance histrionics. The 3.0 CSi is not just a stylish coupé., but a true driver’s car, and represents real value.SpecificationMake: BMWModel: CSIYear: 1974Chassis Number: 2265479Registration Number: XPC 86NTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 2265479 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 26689 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

Building on the iconic status of the Defender, this highly-spec'd 'KAHN' Defender is an eye-catching 4x4 which has been enjoyed by the same family from new and regularly serviced.The icon. As much a part of British car culture as the Mini, the Jaguar E-Type or the Ford Escort - perhaps even more so. Though officially only known as a ‘Defender’ from 1990, as a rebadge of the previous 90 and 110 models, it was instantly familiar given the evolutionary relationship with the Series Land Rovers that preceded them. To the layman, the different versions have almost become interchangeable, not least because each represents the utilitarian, unpretentious, rugged off-roader that made Land Rover famous.Throughout the 1990s, the model commenced its inevitable climb upmarket whilst remaining true (as close as possible) to its roots. Engine changes became a regular occurrence with the 200Tdi being followed by the 300Tdi, Td5 and then the Ford Duratorq that appeared in 2.4-litre form in 2007 and subsequently in 2.2-litre guise during 2012.The car presented here is a 2016 Land Rover Defender 110 XS Station Wagon which has been tastefully modified with desirable Project KAHN/Chelsea Truck Company cosmetic upgrades. As the company says: ‘Automobiles Refined By KAHN® - Unique handcrafted vehicles for a small circle of people who have the taste for exclusivity and the finer things in life - finest quality to the last detail.’It was first registered in February 2016, has remained with a single family from new, and is now being offered for sale by its third registered family keeper. The 110 is the more user-friendly, long-wheelbase version of the venerable Defender, and this striking version is finished in black paintwork with a bespoke black leather-trimmed interior with contrasting stitching, featuring front sport bucket seats, diamond-quilted inserts on the seats, door cards, and dashboard, and gloss black trim on the centre console. It sits on an after-market set of 16'' KAHN twin five-spoke lightweight alloy wheels finished in matte black, and wears Continental Cross Contact tyres.The factory specification includes a heated rear windscreen, heated front seats, a high and low range gearbox, electric windows, rear privacy glass, a rear step, an adjustable tow bar, rear Land Rover mud flaps, and air conditioning. Externally, this Defender now features an extended KAHN body-kit, LED headlights, a KAHN front grille and headlight grilles, a replacement front bumper with sump guard and built-in spotlights, and a Chelsea Truck Co. rear spare wheel cover. Inside, the cabin has been upgraded with a KAHN steering wheel and pedals, Chelsea Truck Co. and KAHN plaques, a Pioneer media system with satellite navigation and DAB radio, and a red fascia with an analogue KAHN clock.The most recent maintenance was a full service in February 2020 at 27,153 miles by Inchcape Land Rover, Preston. The previous scheduled service was in February 2018 at 19,326 miles by Inchcape and prior to that the first scheduled service was carried out by Hunters Land Rover Preston in February 2017 at 11,895 miles. The car is accompanied by three keys and two fobs, the owner’s handbooks with a leather wallet, and a collection of maintenance invoices and MOT Certificates.Offering excellent value over a newly-specified KAHN Defender, which can be as much as £70,000-plus, this eye-catching 4x4 has been well looked-after, regularly serviced and enjoyed by the same family from new. SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: DEFENDER 110 XS STATION WAGAON 'KAHN'Year: 2016Chassis Number: SALLDHMP7GA484523Registration Number: YA65 CVGTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 151004231012DT224 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 30000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

With beautiful Giugiaro-styled bodywork and a glorious Ferrari V6 soundtrack, this Fiat Coupé from 1969 is undoubtedly one of the best we have ever seen. In the mid-1960s, Ferrari needed a 2-litre production-based engine for their new Formula 2 cars and conceived the mid-engined Dino 206 to provide the necessary basis. Since the late 1950s, Ferrari's V6-engined sports-racers had used the Dino name, after Enzo Ferrari's late son, Alfredino, who had died in 1956, and this was duly applied to the new road car. Indeed, at this time, it was intended that it would be the first of an entirely separate marque. However, faced with the daunting task of building 500 units per annum to meet the FIA's homologation requirements, Ferrari turned to FIAT for assistance, with the resulting agreement for the latter to build the Dino's four-cam V6 engine leading to a spin-off model for FIAT.Launched in Pininfarina-bodied, two-seat Spider form at the 1966 Turin Show, the FIAT Dino carried its 2.0-litre, 160bhp engine ahead of the driver in a conventional manner, and was notable as the first FIAT to employ four overhead camshafts and a limited-slip differential as standard. Steel bodied, the newcomer employed a FIAT 5-speed gearbox and featured independent front suspension by means of wishbones and coil springs, a live rear axle, and disc brakes all round. A longer-wheelbase 2+2 Coupé with Giorgetto Giugiaro-penned Bertone coachwork appeared the following year at the Geneva Salon and was much-acclaimed for its good looks and clever design. In 1969, both Ferrari and Fiat introduced new 2.4-litre Dino models with the aim of increasing torque and usability. In addition to the larger displacement, amongst other notable improvements were a ZF gearbox, FIAT 130-type trailing-arm independent rear suspension and updated switchgear and trim.Offered here is a truly stunning Dino 2400 Coupé finished in Passion Red Metallic with an immaculate tan leather interior. It’s a second-series example featuring the larger 2.4-litre, 180bhp Ferrari engine from the Dino 246 with triple carburettors and a dog-leg ZF 5-speed gearbox as standard.Originally despatched to an Italian dealer, it subsequently moved to Germany and onwards to Switzerland where it was re-registered in 1973. In 1990, the Dino was imported to the UK by the late Michael Sellers, son of renowned car collector Peter Sellers, as confirmed by the club registry and a letter addressed to ‘Mr Sellers’ for work undertaken in 1990. It underwent a full body restoration in the mid-2000s and was subject to a full engine rebuild and gearbox overhaul by DK Engineering in 2017. Further maintenance work was carried out by Dino UK in 2019 and the timing chains were adjusted by Light Cars Action in August 2022.The Dino’s history file is contained within a leather-bound DK Engineering binder and includes all the invoices for work carried out in the UK and a current V5C ready for transfer or export. The file makes for fabulous reading, with a plethora of old MOTs, DVLA correspondence, handwritten invoices for work undertaken in the 1990s in English and German, masses of invoices for parts and labour from the likes of Superformance in the 1990s through to the mid-2000s. You can really paint a picture of what this car has seen and done over the years by immersing yourself within this fascinating history file. It’s also accompanied by a copy of the Dino Handbook in Italian, and two Fiat Dino 2400 handbooks on ‘Specifications and Features’.During our fastidious vendor’s ownership, the car has seen an exceptionally strong level of maintenance simply with perfection in mind, and this attention to detail has been rewarded with much success and admiration culminating in an invitation to grace the lawn at the 2021 London Concours d’Elegance.You are welcome and encouraged to view this remarkable 2400 Coupé to appreciate the sheer quality on offer.SpecificationMake: FIATModel: DINO 2400 COUPEYear: 1969Chassis Number: 135BC0003725Registration Number: FYY 208HTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 06345Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 35700 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: Tan LeatherClick here for more details and images

One of only 38 second-generation DB6 Volantes, a car that played "a significant part in the DB6 story". Premiered at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 Volante marked the first occasion the evocative 'Volante' name had been applied to a soft top Aston Martin. After 37convertibles had been completed on the DB5 short-wheelbase chassis, the model adopted the longer DB6 chassis in October 1966. By 1969 however, Aston was winding down production of the DB6 which was now over a decade old and, as attention turned towards the newer, more modern-looking DBS, Aston Martin unveiled a final swan song, the DB6 Mk2. Distinguishable by its flared wheel arches and DBS wheels, the Mk2 was fitted with power-assisted steering as standard and could be ordered with AE Brico electronic fuel injection. When DB6 production ceased in 1970, a total of 1,575 saloons had been made, plus 178 of the long-wheelbase Volante convertibles (140 Mk1 versions and only 38 Mk2s) with one of these later cars being allocated to Her Majesty the Queen who gave it to Prince Charles on his 21st Birthday.The Royal DB6 undoubtedly enjoyed its ‘15 minutes of fame’, however the remarkable Mk2 Volante, #DBMK2/VC/3774/R on offer here has played a much more significant role in the story of the DB6. One of those original 38 Mk2 Volantes, it left the factory in June 1970 finished in Aquamarine with black Connolly trim and a black Everflex hood prior to being registered to its first owner, a Mr F Griffiths of Plastics and Veneers Ltd. in Liverpool, who are still in business today! Factory options recorded on the manufacturers build sheet were; automatic gearbox, two front seat belts, Fiamm air-horns and seven pints of antifreeze.The car's subsequent keepers were a Mr James Roddick from the Wirral in 1978, Philip Hale from Liverpool in 1989, Stephen Pilkington from Ormskirk in 1991 and, later that year Mr Maurice Jones from Walsall. In the early 1980s it had been returned to the Works and the original engine upgraded to factory ‘Vantage-specification’ with the automatic transmission being replaced by a manual factory 5-speed gearbox around the same time. By 1997, it had come into the hands of the Hopton family of Hopton Tyres in Uttoxeter, by which time it had been painted in Dubonnet Rosso with beige trim. The history file shows that the Hoptons had the car regularly maintained by Aston Engineering during their tenure before eventually parting with it in 2005, when it became the property of the Warefield House Establishment from Bracknell. The following year, the car was placed in the hands of marque specialist, RS Williams, with the object of returning it to a superb condition and, consequently, it was treated to new sills, a suspension rebuild and associated mechanical work before being refinished in Old English White with a glorious red leather interior and a new black hood.In 2007 Aston Works were instructed to discreetly source the best Mk2 Volante available for the recently-appointed Prime Minister of the State of Kuwait, H.H Sheikh Nasser Mohammed Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah. This very car was chosen and supplied through Mr Kingsley Riding-Felce, an Aston Martin main board director. It remained in the Kuwaiti Collection, lightly used, until 2018 when the Works were able to buy it back and return it to Newport Pagnell. Aston had been working on an ‘EV’ solution for their ‘Heritage’ models as part of their wider EV strategy by creating the first reversible EV powertrain concept. It was important that development of the reversible ‘Cassette’ concept for the older cars was sympathetic, enabling the cars originality and provenance to be maintained. Aston stated at the time, “Given the historical significance of these collectors’ cars, it’s vital that any EV conversion is sympathetic to the integrity of the original car”.In 2018, development was quite advanced and this very car, #DBMK2/VC/3774/R, was selected to demonstrate this technology due to its outstanding condition and originality and was the very first car to be fitted with the radical new EV powertrain. The original running gear was obviously kept securely at the factory whilst the car made its way around Europe in 2019 demonstrating Aston’s exciting new EV technology. There are many YouTube videos and press releases during this period, in fact  3774 features, wearing the world-famous plate ‘1 AML’  and it was also greeted with much enthusiasm when paraded around the GP circuit in Monaco.After this DB6’s illustrious promotional life in 2019 was over, Aston Works set about returning the car to its original running gear thanks to the fully reversible ‘Cassette’ powertrain concept. There are internal invoices in the accompanying history file showing the significant amount of work and expenditure that went into the car to get it running as was originally intended. The quality of this reinstatement was such that the finished car enjoyed a class win in that year’s AMOC Concours d’Elegance. Subsequently, #3774 went into private ownership where it has been enjoyed ever since. In March 2022, just over £5,000 was spent with Aston Works again with invoices on file for new suspension bushes, a new engine damper, a major service and an MOT. The current mileage is just under 54,000.Finally this particular car is without doubt one of the very best driving Astons of the 1960s and 1970s. The electric hood works perfectly, it starts instantly and ticks over very smoothly on its triple Weber twin-chokes and all the controls work, even the electric aerial! It is absolutely ‘on its toes’ and driven regularly by its highly enthusiastic known owner.One of only (effectively) 38 DB6 MkII Volante's, still fitted with its original engine which was upgraded to Vantage-spec by the factory in period, totally refreshed and retrimmed by the Works, a decade in the ownership of an important Middle Eastern politician, developed by the factory as their flagship ‘Heritage’ electric demonstrator, in a documented European Tour proudly bearing ‘1 AML’ and now carefully returned to its original motivation by the development department at Newport Pagnell – as we said before, #3774 is undoubtedly a significant part of the DB6 story.The car was recently fully serviced with a fresh MOT at Desmond Smail's (Aston Specialists in Olney) and the invoice is in the comprehensive history file.    SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB6 MK2Year: 1970Chassis Number: DB6MK2 VC 3774 RRegistration Number: TUJ 173HTransmission: Manual Engine Number: 400/4523 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 54000 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Delivered new to a British national in Marbella, registered in the UK shortly after, lovely service history and offered from five-year ownership with just 40,754km (24,854 miles).The Ferrari F355 Berlinetta burst onto the World stage in the spring of 1994, with the Targa GTS and Spider following in 1995. The F355's name is derived from its 3.5-litre V8 engine and five valves per-cylinder, as denoted by the Cinquevalvole inscription on the rocker covers, and this longitudinally-mounted power unit generates an impressive 374bhp at a spine-tingling 8250rpm. The con-rods are titanium alloy, the clutch is housed in magnesium alloy, and the Bilstein shock absorbers use electronic sensors to provide active damping.Confirmed by the accompanying service book, this Spider was delivered new in Rossa Corsa with Crema leather and Bordeaux carpeting and specified with the fabulous 6-speed manual gearbox. The first owner, a Mr D. Compton, took delivery from Testarossa Cars S.A. to his Marbella address on 7th January 1998 and, weeks later, registered the car in the UK on 22nd January 1998. The history file includes a Sytner Nottingham sales invoice dated 29th September 1998 made out to a Mr C. Burton with an odometer reading of 818km. A year later, a Mr A. Smith purchased the car from Sytner with an odometer reading of 2,900km. We assume that, although both invoices record the odometer reading in miles, they actually represent kilometres. Service stamps, receipts and copy V5C confirm the car’s history.Having owned and enjoyed a F355 GTB in the UK, our vendor set about looking for a good left-hand drive F355 Spider for use at his home in Monaco. After an extensive search, he purchased this very smart example on 1st April 2018 with 36,000km indicated. Prior to purchase, the car was inspected by Ferrari specialists Damax. Coincidentally, the car had spent time in Monaco during Mr Smith’s ownership and was serviced at Ets Cavallari, the service arm of Ferrari Monaco, in 2003. During our vendor’s residency there, it was maintained by them, and the car accompanied him back to the UK when he retired. Since then, it’s been looked after by marque specialists Damax and Keys Motorsport, the latter carrying out the last cambelt service in August 2021 at 40,375km.With a Collection dominated by some rather special Bentleys that are, perhaps, better suited to our vendor’s retirement plans, this car is offered to auction in simply lovely order. Reams of main dealer and Ferrari specialist service receipts complement the service book and the V5C and tool kit are present. Further, the car will be delivered to auction with a fresh annual service and a fresh MOT. The Cherished Registration Number N16 SSY, allocated to the car in 2005, is also generously included in the sale.Very few left-hand drive Ferraris boast British ownership from new, and for domestic buyers who wish to use the car for continental touring, the service history and provenance is reassuring. Equally, as a manual Ferrari F355 Spider finished in classic colours, this estimate represents real value for a European buyer in comparison to its contemporaries marketed on the continent.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: F355Year: 1999Chassis Number: ZFFXR48B000110776Registration Number: N16 SSYTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 48447Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 40754 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: Crema LeatherClick here for more details and images

Top-of-the-range, Special Equipment XK140 Roadster in a lovely colour combination from 29-years long-term ownership.Jaguar Cars launched the XK140 at the London Motor Show in October 1954 and it remained in production until 1957. Rather than being an uncompromised sports car, the 140 was a much more comfortable and capable long-distance machine than its predecessor, the XK120, and featured a raft of improvements over the earlier car. The styling was enhanced with a revised grille with fewer and thicker slats and larger bumpers, along with new rear lights, which now incorporated the indicators. The handling was improved by rack and pinion steering and telescopic dampers with the interior space enlarged to allow the addition of occasional rear seats for the Fixed Head Coupé.The power unit remained Jaguar's well-tried 3.4-litre twin-cam six, which now produced 190bhp in standard trim thanks to higher-lift camshafts and revised porting. To ensure reliability, steel bearing caps replaced the previous cast-iron type. A close-ratio gearbox enabled better use to be made of the increased performance whilst a Laycock de Normanville overdrive became an option for the first time. Special Equipment (SE) XK140s were fitted with wire wheels and Lucas fog lamps as standard and could be ordered with an engine developing 210bhp courtesy of the 'C'-type cylinder head, these top of the range models being suffixed ‘MC’.This lovely example is indeed a 210bhp SE ‘MC’ and dates from 1956. It’s finished in a delightful colour combination of Cotswold Blue over light grey leather and sits on silver-painted wire wheels. Purchased from Porters in Kensington in 1996, purchase receipt in the file, it has been with our vendors for the last 29 years and appears to have been fully enjoyed on rallies both nationally and internationally, on Drive-It days within the UK and excursions in France, Greece and even Australia!It remains ‘matching numbers’ but, unusually it appears it was converted from left to right-hand drive in 1956, the year it was built. It was restored in 1993/4 by Alscot Garage in Warwickshire with invoices on file and a handwritten summary sheet of all the work undertaken at the time. The history file makes for pleasant reading with plenty of invoices for maintenance and servicing, handwritten correspondence, an original operating manual and old MOTs. Recent history includes a mechanical refresh by Bell Classics along with older significant bills from Cambridge Motorsport and Classic Autos of Hertfordshire.The XK appears largely standard with its smooth revving and glorious sounding 3.4-litre Jaguar inline-six attached to its original 4-speed gearbox and Laycock de Normanville overdrive with the necessary addition of a Kenlowe fan. The condition of the car is lovely, with a gently patinated interior and paintwork that’s good, but not perfect, totally in keeping with an older restoration and 29 years of fun.It’s so nice to come across a mechanically sound, much-loved 1950s classic Jaguar that you could just jump in and go anywhere.  SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XK140 ROADSTERYear: 1956Chassis Number: S812174DNRegistration Number: UVS 147Transmission: ManualEngine Number: G6953-8SDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 18000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey LeatherClick here for more details and images

Fabulous, left-hand drive, first generation Vanquish with less than 7,000 miles and in commensurate condition.An entirely new Aston Martin for the 21st Century, the V12-engined Vanquish Coupé debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2001. Aston Martin's first power unit of its type, the 5.9-litre, 48-valve, V12 engine (first seen in the DB7 V12 Vantage) developed 460bhp at 6,800rpm, with 400lb/ft of torque available at 5,500 revs. The 6-speed gearbox was controlled by F1-style paddles and could be operated in either of two modes: fully manual or computer-controlled automatic, with a sport setting available on both. The inventory of standard equipment included almost everything the discerning connoisseur could wish for, while the performance - 190mph and 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds – placed the Vanquish firmly in the supercar class. Dominated by an imposing aluminium centre console, the interior featured Connolly leather upholstery and Wilton carpeting, emphasising the Aston Martin heritage, for despite its advanced specification, the Vanquish was built like all other Astons before it: one at a time and by hand.Built to Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) specification, this left-hand drive Vanquish was purchased by our vendor in Lebanon and imported into the UK in 2020. Finished in gleaming black with Forest Green leather, the car has been fully serviced by Aston Martin and remains in excellent original condition. It has been looked after in professional storage for the last few years. Service records for the period August 2004 to November 2017, plus last service receipt from 2022 are available and the car also comes with a UK V5C registration document.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: VANQUISHYear: 2001Chassis Number: SCFAC23321B50052Registration Number: LJ51 NCSTransmission: AUTOMATICDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 10900 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: Forest GreenClick here for more details and images

Rightfully the most hyped production car in recent history, this Platinum White Circuit Pack car has covered just 2,200 miles.When Toyota decided that they wanted their many years of success in International Rallying to continue, the initial problem was selecting a model that was going to be competitive in coming years. The regulations that govern WRC rallying dictate that your car must be based on an existing road car, a process known as ‘homologation’, and although your rally car can deviate from the road formula in many areas, in most key ones it can’t. In the past, manufacturers were able to get around this because the regs didn’t insist on too many road-going versions, maybe 2,000 or even less, however, that figure is now 25,000. Few manufacturers would even countenance building 25,000 seriously focussed rally cars, and hope to find homes for them but Toyota, always up for a challenge, did just that. Based on their successful little Yaris, and developed alongside their Gazoo Racing World Rally Team, the GR Yaris made its debut in late 2020.This technological miracle may look like a Yaris but the similarities are few and far between. The roof is carbon fibre saving 3.5kg, the door skins, bonnet and tailgate are aluminium, removing another 24kg, and the front half of the chassis is Yaris but the rear is adapted from the Corolla and CH-R. It has the Yaris’ 2,560mm wheelbase, its light clusters, door mirrors and roof fin but that’s about it. Under the bonnet is the world’s most powerful production three-cylinder engine, a 1.6-litre with 257bhp and 266lb/ft. It features a unique block, bespoke pistons and a single-scroll, ball-bearing turbo to reduce weight with the engine itself being hydraulically mounted on one side to reduce vibration and unwanted movement. All cars were fitted with a 6-speed manual gearbox and a remarkably light, four wheel-drive system with an Aluminium central transfer case and Sport and Track Modes. At the rear, there’s an electronically-controlled clutch pack to divide torque between the wheels.When new, the GR Yaris was available with a Convenience Pack or, as here, the Circuit Pack (£3,500) designed for drivers who want the ultimate in handling response and precision. This option included lightweight 18-inch BBS forged alloys, retuned suspension, mechanical front and rear Torsen diffs, red brake calipers and Michelin Pilot 4S tyres.Finished in Platinum White Pearl and fitted from new with the Circuit Pack option, this is a UK-supplied GR that’s being offered from its first registered keeper. Just 2,200 miles have been covered including its first service at 600 miles and a health check at 1,600 miles, and the car is in the sort of condition that you might expect considering its tiny mileage and fastidious ownership. Being offered at a very sensible and tempting guide price, this is a true modern-day ‘homologation special’, yet effortless everyday transport and currently, undoubtedly super cool.SpecificationMake: TOYOTAModel: YARIS GR CIRCUIT PACKYear: 2022Chassis Number: JTDAF4E300A018022Registration Number: FV22 FRXTransmission: ManualEngine Number: G160028492Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 2200 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black SuedeClick here for more details and images

Few cars are as instantly recognisable as the R-Type Fastback Continental. Viewed by many as a true collectors item, this beautifully presented example was restored by P&A Wood, and is a multiple concours-winner.Despite its name, the two-door Continental was produced principally for the UK domestic market and just 208 were built. Like many hand-crafted, coachbuilt cars of the period, the chassis were produced at the Rolls-Royce Crewe factory and shared many components with the standard R-Type. Coachwork for the majority of cars was completed by H. J. Mulliner & Co. of Chiswick, with most orders being for the Fastback Coupé (Design number-7277). A distinctive style of coachwork, the lightweight aluminium, wind-tunnel developed fastback from Mulliner, focussed strongly on keeping weight to a minimum in order to maximise power and performance.The early cars were powered by, essentially the same engine as the standard R-Type but with modified carburation, induction and exhaust manifolds along with higher gear ratios and consequently the R-Type Continental became the first British four-seat sports coupé capable of speeds of up to 120mph. The A, B and C Series cars were fitted with 4.5-litre engines that displaced 4,566cc and produced 158bhp and, when mated to a manual gearbox, the result was a potent continental cruiser or surprisingly docile and manageable city charger.On offer here, BC68C is indeed fitted with the desirable manual gearbox and is surely one of the finest R-Type Continentals in existence today. As is often the case with Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars from this era, factory and owner's records are well kept and, in this case, an exceptionally complete set of history files goes right back to the beginning of the car's life and confirms that, for the most part, it was exclusively maintained by Official Rolls-Royce and Bentley Agents including an engine rebuild in 1984 by renowned specialist PJ Fischer. H.P. Arnett & Son, Official Agents (latterly Arnetts of Bournemouth) carried out all maintenance until 1965 and then it was sent to the Central London Factory Service Centre until 1970. Caffyns, again Official Agents, took over maintenance at that point until 1982 followed by PJ Fischer and specialists until P & A Wood, Official Agents again, took over the car’s care in 1993.By 1999, BC68C was starting to look a little jaded, and the decision was made to commence a cosmetic tidy. The work was entrusted to world-renowned specialists, P&A Wood, and took a couple of years. As is often the case with cars of this nature, a gentle refresh escalated into a complete cosmetic rebuild between 1999 and 2001 when the bodywork was taken back to bare metal, laboriously prepared and fully repainted in numerous coats of a glorious deep blue. All the brightwork was re-chromed, the engine bay painted and detailed and the interior was retrimmed in grey leather with matching carpets, the steering wheel refurbished and the veneers, dashboard, gauges and cabin furniture all returned to a superb standard.The quality of this work was such that, between 2003 and 2007, the car was entered in a number of Concours d'Elegance events with much success, particularly at the Autoglym Regional Concours Events - when it won on each occasion and was invited to the National Grand Finals held at the NEC. The Bentley was also voted 'Car of the Show' at the Meguiars Classic Car Show at the Alexandra Palace in 2006. Even at the Annual Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts National Rally at Kellmarsh Hall, surrounded by other splendidly restored Rolls-Royce and Bentleys, the R-Type finished either first or second in Class in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and was 'Elegance' Winner in 2008 and second in Class overall in 2007 and 2009.Since 2011, this important Bentley has been part of two major collections and has covered very few miles in that time, however it has recently enjoyed a few outings with one of our directors, appears in our website opening video, and attracted a number of admirers at the very recent Salon Privé in Chelsea.Here at Silverstone Auctions, we have offered three of these rare Fastback Continentals in the last few years, all guided in excess of £900,000 so this fabulous example seems very sensibly positioned at £600,000 to £700,000. Naturally, we welcome and encourage your close inspection of this venerable Continental.We leave the last word to Autosport’s inimitable John Bolster. Writing in 1958, Bolster noted that the Continental was a classical design that achieved a high degree of excellence by sheer quality of construction: "In doing so, it develops an individuality, a character, call it what you will, that makes it entirely different from any other marque. The man who drives a Continental lives in an enchanted world, for everybody calls him ‘sir’ and he may park where other lesser cars may never tread." Despite the passage of more than 60 years, Bolster’s words ring every bit as true today as they did then.SpecificationMake: BENTLEYModel: R-TYPE CONTINENTALYear: 1954Chassis Number: BC68CRegistration Number: OYN 3Transmission: ManualEngine Number: BCC67Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlueClick here for more details and images

This versatile Series I GTV has been prepared for circuit use but is road-legal and suitable for a variety of motorsport activities.The elegant 105 Series GT Coupés began life in 1963 and developed into the 1750 GT Veloce four years later, defined by its quad headlamps and legendary five bearing four-cylinder 1,779cc twin cam engine with outstanding road holding capabilities and power delivered through one of the finest gearboxes of the time.This particular 1969 Series I ‘GTV’ is one of just 1,138 right-hand drive, South African examples and one of only 240 first series 1750s to roll off the Rosslyn production line before eventually being imported to the UK in 1992. It was initially pressed into use as a sporting road car before, eventually, competition use beckoned, at which time it was upgraded and converted to race specification by Gran Turismo Engineering for use in HSCC events, in which it became very well-known, successful and extremely competitive.  More recently, the emphasis has turned towards classic road rallies and regularity runs, and some of the competition settings have been softened (clutch, suspension, prop-shaft couplings etc.) to make the car more user friendly for road use. It's still fitted with a full cage, OMP seats with full harnesses, Lifeline extinguisher, Retro-Trip, alloy fuel tank, catch tank, bonnet/boot straps and external cut-offs etc. The comprehensive history file contains details of the works completed over the years with invoices from Alfa specialists such as Classic Alfa, Alfaholics, Wren Classics, Connaught Competition Engines and Day and Whites. Over £60,000 has been invested in this lovely Alfa's race prep as well as a further £5,000 in the last 12 months servicing and refreshing the electrics and other engine ancillaries. As always with a competition car, it's important to check the eligibility and currency of any safety equipment.With just 3,000 miles covered since an engine and gearbox rebuild and a differential overhaul, this delightful GTV is once again ready to be enjoyed, be that out on the circuit, competing in classic rallies or, should you be so inclined, general fast road use. There are a number of original parts and trim with the car should the new custodian wish to return the Alfa to a more humble, road car specification. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to appreciate the opportunities on offer.SpecificationMake: ALFA ROMEOModel: 1750 GTVYear: 1969Chassis Number: AR1452729Registration Number: WYB 109GTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 91526 KMMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

A well restored example of one of the most exciting hot hatches to emerge from the late 1970s.The Talbot Sunbeam Lotus was originally conceived when Chrysler Group's competition manager, Des O'Dell, decided that there was a need for the company to create a car that would be competitive in International 'Group 4' rallying. The Sunbeam 1.6 GLS appeared to be their most relevant product, so he approached Lotus and offered them one as a basis. Lotus Engineering rose to the challenge and within a couple of months had developed the GLS into a potential winner. As well as their expertise, Lotus' supplied the 2.2 type-911 version of their 16-valve, four-cylinder engine coupled to a 5-speed ZF dog-leg gearbox, and also engineered a number of chassis and exhaust system improvements aimed squarely at beating the dominant Escort RS and Vauxhall Chevette HS/HSRs at their own game.Lotus' efforts were rewarded in 1980 when a Sunbeam piloted by Henri Toivonen won the RAC Rally of Great Britain, and indeed, this would be the last time a rear-wheel-drive car ever took the title. In 1981, the Constructor's World Championship was claimed by Sunbeam for the newly christened 'Talbot' team (having been renamed by new owners Peugeot in 1979).Homologation rules at the time dictated that for a new car to be eligible to compete internationally, it would also have to be offered to the general public and sold in a specified minimum number. In order to comply with this requirement, Talbot set up a separate production line at their Linwood factory to fabricate the body shells which would then be shipped directly to Ludham Airfield where Lotus would fit the engine, suspension, and gearbox etc. These road-going Talbot Sunbeam Lotus 'homologation specials' were more than just fast, they certainly looked the part as well. Initially, they were offered only in Embassy Black with Silver stripes and sporting a brace of Marchal spotlights and bespoke 'double four-spoke' cast alloy wheels. Launched to an eager public in 1979, the 2,174cc twin-cam engine, breathing through twin Dell'Orto carburetors developed 150bhp and delivered excellent performance.Finished in Embassy Black and Silver, this Talbot Sunbeam Lotus was originally supplied to Jersey and was first registered on 1st April 1979. It's a matching numbers car and is in superb condition throughout having been fully restored and upgraded in recent years. With a high-quality finish in mind, the car's current custodian has completed a no-expense rebuild with a full engine overhaul by Andrew Jones at Shrigley Engineering  which included a Tony Law manifold and a lightweight flywheel and clutch. Further upgrades include a Quaife differential, a suspension upgrade incorporating Gaz front coil-overs, Bilstein rear dampers and improved braking with Wilwood front brake calipers.  It should also be noted that competition-style front seats are currently fitted with the originals to accompany the car should they be required, however, these will require refinishing prior to being refitted.Despite dating from the late 1970s, these little Sunbeams are still considered a truly thrilling drive, set apart from most by their rear-wheel drive balance, beautifully weighted controls, overall lightness and surprisingly rapid pace.NB: Please note, this vehicle has arrived in the UK under ‘temporary admission’, upon successful sale and if remaining in the UK, the seller has agreed to settle import taxes due and obtain ‘NOVA Certification’ to enable UK registration.SpecificationMake: TALBOTModel: SUNBEAM LOTUSYear: 1979Chassis Number: R4OC79L1S81175Registration Number: UNREGISTEREDTransmission: ManualEngine Number: DC91179059115817SEDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 66000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black / GreyClick here for more details and images

The only Cerbera Speed 12 built by TVR specifically for road use, the defining example. An opportunity to own an exceptional and unique motor car, fully sanctioned by the marque and coming from diligent enthusiast-ownership.The only Cerbera Speed 12 built by TVR specifically for the road, the defining example and the only remaining factory-built complete carFully prepared by TVR engineers, this road-going GT car is uniquely fitted with the correct, race-bred 7.7-litre 840bhp V12 engine and the final evolution of the race car carbon-fibre/Kevlar bodywork with a flat-floor and powerful aeroOriginally offered for sale directly by TVR boss Peter WheelerWidely featured in the motoring press (see images of EVO magazine article by scrolling through above) and immortalised in the Sony PlayStation game Gran TurismoOne of the rarest and most revered supercars of the last 25 years, a truly special machineIn today’s crazy world of ‘hyper-cars’, with manufacturers continuing to indulge their seemingly irresistible need to build the most rapid cars the world has ever seen, the TVR Cerbera Speed 12 would fit right in, however 20 years ago, the idea of a road car weighing 1,100kg with nearly 900bhp wasn’t so much unprecedented as unhinged.‘Project 7/12’ was originally conceived in the 1990s with the design brief to develop a supercar to rival the McLaren F1 GTR, whilst also producing a true GT road-racer. It debuted at the 1996 Birmingham motor show and, predictably, it caused a sensation. The possibility that it might actually be quicker than the McLaren F1 wasn’t vigorously denied by TVR boss Peter Wheeler though, unlike the F1, the Speed 12 had a development brief that was heavily biased towards a career as a GT1 class endurance racer with the aim of taking it to Le Mans.The 7/12 project tag denoted the proportions of its monster engine, essentially two Cerbera Speed 6 straight-sixes spliced together, utilising a steel block, further developed by TVR’s John Ravenscroft creating a 7.7-litre V12. The story goes that it snapped the input shaft of the 1,000bhp-rated dynamometer and consequently TVR’s engineers were obliged to measure each bank of cylinders separately. This resulted in output figures of 480bhp on each side suggesting a total output of 960bhp, although the figure eventually quoted ‘officially’ by TVR was 800bhp as set up for road use.As a would-be Le Mans GT1 Class entrant, FIA regulations required that the TVR’s mammoth output be pegged back to around 675bhp by the use of air intake restrictors, however, the Speed 12’s competition career was short-lived as, after a few outings in the FIA GT Championship, a sudden rule change to accommodate purpose-built GT1 machines such as the Porsche 911 GT1, and the subsequent withdrawal of the class in other championships, effectively made it obsolete.In late 1999, TVR decided that rather than let their efforts with the Speed 12 go to waste, they would develop a new car to race in the GT2 class of motorsport. Again, with homologation in mind, there was fresh impetus around a road car version - the ultimate TVR would run the full-house 800bhp engine and cost £245,000, and the now-badged ‘Cerbera Speed 12’ was ready in 2000. Its design, which began with the Speed 12 GT, had now evolved over time, and its final style favours the Cerbera, but was essentially a totally separate concept created for racing and is dramatically unique. Deposits for the new road car began to pile up, and the new race car was rolled out too, where it would go on to win several races from 2000 to 2002, the best-known example perhaps being the Scania-sponsored Cerbera Speed 12 race car.Unexpectedly, the road car’s future came to an abrupt end one night when the Boss, Peter Wheeler, took one of the finished prototypes home for the night and, on his return, declared it too powerful and too wild for the road. Production plans were canned, deposits returned, and the remaining prototypes were broken up for spares to service the race cars. Except for one.In August 2003, TVR shocked the automotive world by advertising for sale a Cerbera Speed 12 with the registration ‘W112 BHG’. At that point, a complete car didn’t actually exist so with the racing program now consigned to history, TVR set about creating a true best-of-breed road-going Cerbera Speed 12, putting all their engineering knowledge into it.The completed road car was eventually ready by 2005, having taken a team of three race engineers (headed by Jonny Greenwood) over two years to build and test, piece-by-piece. Rightly, the engine utilised was the 7.7-litre, ‘bucket-head’ V12 – the last example of its type-originally developed by TVR for racing. The team utilised the best components from the race development program, with the express design criteria that W112 BHG should be road-legal. Many new items were utilised, such as the gearbox, transmission and brakes, and the race car influence was obvious in the air-jacks and the final evolution of the carbon-fibre/Kevlar bodywork from one of the GT racers, with the wind-tunnel developed aerodynamics offering state-of-the art levels of downforce at high speed.This special car obviously had to satisfy Peter Wheeler’s perfectionism ensuring he would be proud to sanction and oversee the sale of it, which he did to an enthusiast that he personally vetted. The new enthusiast-owner later utilised the skills and experience of the original TVR race engineers to further optimise its performance by remapping the engine and replacing many components with uprated items. It now weighs around 1,000kg, whilst producing around 850bhp, and over 900lb/ft of torque.The car was subsequently sold to our vendor in 2010, a true TVR aficionado who sees himself as a custodian of this supremely special machine. Like the previous owner, he sought out the close assistance of Brian Hosfield who was Peter Wheeler’s personal race engineer for 15 years and also managed the Works’ racing team. Post-TVR, Brian went on to set up and run the highly regarded Lawfield Engineering, but has been fully hands-on with W112 BHG for many years. The car was fully re-commissioned in 2014, following its appearance at Goodwood’s Festival of Speed, where it won best in class at the ‘Style et Luxe’ Concours d’Elegance and is now always kept in full race-ready mechanical and cosmetic health.Some additional parts accompany the car including an ECU and exhausts for MOT testing. Our vendor is keen to stress that any new owner is very welcome to stay in touch with him and Brian Hosfield as their combined knowledge, experience and engineering know-how about this 'race-car-for-the-road' might prove invaluable in getting the best out of it, at least in the short-term.Silverstone Auctions are very proud to offer for sale such a car- a unique example of its type from an era of British automotive brilliance. For any serious collector, enthusiast or driver this is a remarkable opportunity to acquire this legendary motor car and, as its owner, you and it would be welcome and much admired at any high-profile motoring event anywhere in the world.

UK-supplied with the desirable manual gearbox, an incredible 4,793 miles from new and in the care of its enthusiast owner for 16 years.  At the Geneva Show in March 1999, as a replacement for their much-admired F355, Ferrari introduced the 360 Modena to critical acclaim and, not unsurprisingly, within weeks there was a two-year waiting list. The 355 was a tough act to follow, but the 360 was rather special: its all-aluminium construction (a first for Ferrari) was revolutionary, resulting in a much lighter car along with increased rigidity (40% lighter than the 355's steel platform but also nearly 30% stiffer), whilst also improving the under-body aerodynamics using knowledge gained from Ferrari's F1 programme. All this combined with the flowing Pininfarina lines, computer-controlled suspension, a staggering 400bhp, 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and 186mph - immediately made its predecessor, the excellent 355, feel rather dated.The Modena also saw a new word introduced into Ferrari reviews: 'reliability'. The engineering had been more thoroughly thought through, and this was (and still is) reflected in lower servicing costs than for earlier mid-engined examples of the Prancing Horse. Higher levels of quality too meant that the 360 became one of the first truly modern Ferraris that could realistically be used every day. That didn't detract from the excitement factor, however, with strong performance, a searing engine note and a very capable chassis.Offered here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive 360 Modena that is fitted with the rare and desirable manual gearbox. It's classically finished in Rosso Corsa with Crema leather and has covered just 4,793 miles from new.Our vendor purchased this lovely 360 in 2007 and, as can be seen from our images, the car has patently been cherished in his caring ownership. He is, in fact, the car's second owner but is showing as the third registered keeper having bought it initially through his business before transferring it to personal ownership. The service records indicate that the Modena's most recent attention was in October 2021 by marque specialist, Bell Sport & Classic, and the car's tan leather wallet that contains all the dealer-supplied owners and system manuals etc. appears as well cared for as the rest of the car.These rare, manual gearbox 360s are becoming harder to find and, in this superb condition with such low mileage, this is undoubtedly a collector-grade example that may well be hard to repeat. Truly immaculate, with a detailed history and sensibly guided we welcome and encourage your viewing of this delightful Ferrari.  SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 360 MODENAYear: 2001Chassis Number: ZFFYR51C000124911Registration Number: TBCTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 62142 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 4793 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

1906 Thomas Flyer 50HP Seven Passenger Touring Car Chassis no. C 17522.7 cu in, T-Head Individually Cast Inline 4-Cylinder Engine (5½ inch bore by 5½ inch stroke)Single Carburetor50hp4-Speed Manual Transmission with final drive by dual chainsSemi-Elliptic Leaf Suspension2-Wheel Brakes* One of the highest performance American cars of 1906 * Formerly in the Harrah Collection* Two owners since 1960s, in the collection since 1986* Remarkable original example of famed marque* National Automobile Museum binder on fileTHE THOMAS COMPANY One of the most recognizable automobiles of this era and arguably the most important of all the pioneering brands, the Thomas was the car that conquered the globe and put the American industry on the map. Like so many of his pioneering contemporaries, Erwin Ross (E. R.) Thomas was in the bicycle business prior to manufacturing automobiles. During the 1890s, E. R. was the managing director for H. A. Lozier & Co. who produced the famous Cleveland bicycle. However, he recognized the huge potential in the newly evolving automobile business and left Lozier to take over the Buffalo Automobile and Auto-Bi company, which was known for its production of bicycles and motorcycle engines. In 1900 E. R. changed the company name to Thomas Auto-Bi, and by 1901 Thomas claimed to build more air-cooled motors than anyone else.E. R. had bigger things in mind however, and the first Thomas automobiles were introduced in 1903; small runabouts described in the catalog as the happy medium between the cheaper and more expensive cars. All of that changed in 1904 when a huge leap forward was made from the French fronted voiturettes that Thomas had made to date with the introduction of the Model 22. One of its most distinctive features was that the lightweight tubed chassis of its predecessors was succeeded with a more substantial frame that was constructed with an outside plate riveted to angle iron above and below it, visually this is immediately apparent with the series of rivets along each side. To the frame Thomas mounted a three-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration which has rarely been commonplace, it was mounted to what we now consider to be a 'proper' gearbox, a separate casing with three forward speeds. 'Beauty and Power' proclaimed the 1904 brochure for the model and summarized the use of the three-cylinder power plant thus 'In a word, the triple-cylinder motor gives us high speed, high efficiency, the greatest amount of power for a given size of cylinder, or for a minimum of weight, a maximum of speed and power'. Owing to its spritely performance, Thomas noted that their Chicago agent C.A. Coey had christened the new car a 'Flyer' – it was a name that stuck and a genius marketing name which has come to symbolize the marque as a swashbuckling high-performance motor car. The three-cylinder was a snapshot of what was to come, the following year an extra cylinder was added and the car grew a little more. The 1905 range offered four different Flyers, a four cylinder 40hp, two four cylinder 50hp cars and their first six cylinder, 60hp model, on 106, 110, 114 and 124 inch wheelbases respectively. This variety was quickly refined for the 1906 season, when all Thomas's were built on 118 inch wheelbases powered by four cylinder 50hp engines. Their engines were massive by comparison with their American contemporaries, with a 5½ inch bore and stroke giving 522 cubes of power and relayed to the road through huge front driving sprockets. As such it was probably the most high-performance American car available that year. Thomas Flyers soon gained notoriety among the faster and more flamboyant Touring cars of their day. E. R. had an eye for flair and his huge powerful cars showed it – they were often finished in bright colors and loaded with many ornate brass accessories. The 1907 sales catalogue boasted 'You can't go by a Thomas Flyer, so go buy one!' The Thomas name endures and is most readily remembered for its most astounding victory in one the greatest automotive competition events of the time, the 1908 Le Matin sponsored 'The Great Race'. The route went from New York (in the dead of winter) across the U.S. to San Francisco, then by ship to Alaska, and across the Bering Strait, either by ship or by ice to Siberia. To be certain that the Yukon and the Bering Strait would be covered in ice, the race purposely began in the winter. Many of the dirt-covered trails had never been traveled by a motorcar.E. R. Thomas made a last minute decision to enter a car and three days prior to the start, a stock 1907 model was selected from the factory lot. 13,341 miles and 171 days later, the victorious Thomas rolled into Paris and forever cemented its place in history. They also campaigned the French Grand Prix in 1908, Lewis Strang fielding a four cylinder Thomas, being the only American company to challenge Europeans on their turf in this period. THE MOTORCAR OFFEREDThe highlight of the Two Generations collection, the 1906 Thomas Flyer can pride itself with some 60 years in its last two ownerships, and while its current tenure has been more low-key, the previous is one of the best-known collections ever amassed, that of William Fisk Harrah of Reno, Nevada. On file is both a recently prepared National Automobile Museum binder of information relating to the model and this car specifically, with additional history having been researched by the current custodians. From these sources and photos of the car in the 1950s, it is highly likely that the Thomas Flyer was originally delivered to California, for it still wore a painted 'CAL 22' script on the rear of the bodywork by the time it first surfaced in the 1950s. In the 1950s it was owned by a John Krittenbrink of Oklahoma. Thomas was undoubtedly the marques favored by Harrah, and he began to correspond with him in the summer of 1958 to see if the car could be acquired for the growing collection. Naturally this was rebuffed by Krittenbrink to begin with, but as for many resistance was futile and eventually he succumbed to the Harrah checkbook. Although one of the first to be acquired by him, it would at one time shared those hallowed halls in Reno with many more of its brethren. It is believed that the car was purchased by Harrah in the very early 1960s, the first inhouse correspondence dating from 1962. It seems that there was some debate among the researchers and experts on the Harrah team as whether this was born as a Touring car, or as a Demi-Limousine, for clarity, the latter was a period fashionable term which simply related to a car having a fixed roof and closed panel that stretched along the back of the car, providing a little extra weather protection than the standard touring car. However, viewed today this summary seems somewhat inaccurate and unlikely for there is no evidence of where the rear section of the Demi-Limousine would have affixed, and furthermore there are top mounting brackets to the front and rear seats. Interestingly, Thomas coachwork was built in house and pioneered a design that catered for the basic dusty roads of the day, with three high sided scalloped panels designed to deflect dust from the passengers. Although refurbishment was contemplated by the Harrah team, it seems that this extended to no more than a 'lick' of paint in the uniform burgundy color that we see her today. Whatever the reason, in a chapter of the hobby which might have seen much of the car's intrinsic originality obliterated to create a show car, it was left alone, and between that and the sensitivity of the current owners also, it allows today's collectors to observe a 117 year old Thomas most probably with many of the finishes and details with which it left the Buffalo works, not least its floorboards, cabi...

1909 EMF Model 30 Touring Chassis no. 2163 Engine no. 2443226cu in, Side-Valve Inline 4-Cylinder EngineSingle Carburetor30hp3-Speed Manual Gearbox Front and Rear Leaf Spring Suspension2-Wheel Drum Brakes*One of two examples in the collection*A usable light car, ideal for touring *Potential for HCCA events*Handsome and well-appointed carEMFEstablished in 1908, EMF took its name from its founders' initials - 'E' being Detroit coachbuilder Barney Everitt, 'M' being William Metzger, lately sales manager of Cadillac, and 'F' being Walter Flanders, at one time Henry Ford's production manager. The Northern and Wayne companies were acquired together with their plants and equipment, and EMF production commenced in the second half of 1908 with Wayne designer William E Kelly as chief engineer. EMF chose not to contest the low-price market with Henry Ford, opting instead for a well-finished medium-priced car. The latter was a 30hp four with three-speed sliding-gear rear transaxle built on a sturdy pressed-steel chassis frame. Splits in the partnership and litigation with wagon builder turned automobile manufacturer Studebaker, which had concluded a distribution agreement with EMF, eventually led to a Studebaker take-over in 1910. This resulted in the formation of the Studebaker Corporation, and from then onwards all EMFs were badged as Studebakers.THE MOTORCAR OFFEREDThe earlier of two of examples of EMF cars in this collection, this also dates from the same year, 1909, but appears to have been produced towards the start of the year, being some 4000 cars ahead of the other example. Within that production sequence there is clearly some evolution, by way of explanation, the radiator has the motif of E.M.F. 30 embossed into it, something that would no doubt have been expensive to do. The car is one of the more recent acquisitions by the Two Generations Collection, joining in 2015 having previously been owned by Gil Fitzhugh of Lidditz, Pennsylvania. To judge from its condition it appears to have been the subject of a high quality restoration probably 25-35 years ago. That refurbishment has aged lightly, but not to its detriment and the car has a very inviting appearance all around. This EMF is painted in a rich creamy white scheme, which is offset by a rich butterscotch leather interior and light tan top, it carries a nice set of brightwork which is highly polished and includes EJ Mfg headlamps, scuttle mounted sides and a taillamp. A lesser seen marque and model, this is certainly proof of how appealing these cars are.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
