1965 Ford Cortina Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:3500The Cortina was Ford's mass-market compact car and sold extremely well. It was produced in five generations: the Mk. I through to the Mk. V, although officially the last one was called the Cortina 80. With variants of the Cortina reaching sales of over one million, each successive model proved more popular than its predecessor.  Such was its fame in the UK, that the BBC Two documentary series Arena once devoted an entire programme to the car and its enthusiasts. In response to the huge success of the Mini, Ford responded not with a small car but with a larger family offering which they could sell in large numbers.This example was registered new on 3rd September 1965 and has had just two owners from new. Acquired by the current vendor in 2006 who set about restoring the Cortina to fast road/track specification. During the restoration a Vulcan engineering 2100 pinto engine was fitted, coupled to a type 9 five-speed gearbox. The Cortina was also treated to a rack and pinion conversion, Ford Capri single leaf springs, a FR33 high lift Kent camshaft, new cambelt, new water pump and coil overs. Sitting proudly on Lotus Cortina 5.5J steel wheels, the bodyshell includes a well fitted roll cage and the interior includes a Lotus dashboard and clocks. Presented in blue and orange livery the Cortina looks superb and turns heads wherever it goes. A fun and rather quick example we are sure this example, in its fast road specification, will be huge amounts of fun for the new owner at a very modest outlay.

1989 BMW 635CSiTransmission: automaticMileage:86,000 Successor to the race proven E9 3.0CS/CSi, the BMW 6-series was introduced in August 1976. More forgiving than its predecessors, it utilised a modified version of the 5-series saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension and powerful disc brakes. A natural rival to the 928 and XJS, the four-seater 6-series proved more capacious than the Porsche and sportier than the Jaguar. Immediately recognisable thanks to its distinctive 'shark nose' frontal styling and thin pillared glasshouse it boasts real road presence. An impression backed up by the various versions of BMW's mighty M30, SOHC straight-six engine fitted throughout the range. Second only to the BMW Motorsport tuned M6 version, the 635CSi's 3430cc unit developed some 216bhp and 232lbft of torque propelling it from 0-60mph in 8.4 seconds and on to 135mph.Originally registered on 10th October 1989, this distinctive Zinnobar Red 635 CSi is in very good condition throughout with an equally impressive interior trim in black leather. Owned by the current vendor since 2011 this is clearly a highly cherished and much-loved example. The six-cylinder 3430cc engine runs well and the gearbox operates as it should. Performance on these handsome iconic BMW’s is adequate by any standard, however the beauty of this car lies within the styling. This pillarlessiconic 80’s sportscar is in very good condition, with that imposing shark nose, this is an appreciating classic from BMW and becoming popular with genuine modern classic enthusiasts.

2005 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Transmission: automaticMileage:83677With a 0-60mph time of six seconds, the 4973cc, R129 Mercedes-Benz SL500 carried on the tradition of the fast and reliable grand touring convertible. A fully operating electric hood, windows, door mirrors and seats made this model easy and comfortable to operate. The fifth generation SL was in production between 2002 and 2008 and featured the all-new retractable hardtop - an important feature for those British showers! Mercedes-Benz followers were impressed with the stability of the car with the hardtop in place and the ease at which they could remove it. Such was its success; the SL is still one of the leading cars in the Mercedes-Benz range. This car features the very capable 5.0 litre 302bhp V8 powerplant mated to a standard automatic gearbox. Presented in black with cream leather trim, this SL500 was first registered 9th March 2005. Purchased from a main dealership by our vendor and owned ever since, this example has been well maintained. Showing 83,677 miles on the odometer it is fitted with a Sat Nav, electric front seats, active body control and a Bose sound system. The history files contain invoices, previous Mot records, the UK registration document and a MoT test certificate valid until December 2022.The SL500 model is becoming increasingly sought after and this example is not to be overlooked. We are sure this well-presented Mercedes-Benz will be enjoyed by the new owner in the coming months!

2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Pro-DriveTransmission: manualMileage:72,600 The WRX (World Rally eXperimental) flat-four engine is turbocharged and develops around 235bhp in initial trim. Relatively modest by today’s standards but anything but in-period, and its lively engine is mated to a manual gearbox and a sophisticated four-wheel-drive system. A relatively lightweight car, it goes like stink and took the motoring world by storm. Rally win followed rally win - and the Brits wanted a piece of the action, importing both saloon and hatchback variants by the container load.  The second-generation cars, available from 2000, officially boasted between 261bhp and 276bhp depending on the model, enough to propel the 1,360kg Impreza to a top speed of over 150mph via a 0-62mph time of under five seconds.  Rallying legends such as Colin McRae and Richard Burns took the already potent Impreza STi and turned it into an iconic machine, the likes of which we will probably never see again. On a performance-per-pound basis they were extraordinarily cheap when they were new, and a series of upgrades and model changes that encouraged owners to change their cars more frequently than they might otherwise have done. Originally registered on 1st September 2007 this Impreza has been very well cared for. The silver coachwork is in very good order as is the black leather interior. The comprehensive history folder includes the certificate and invoice for the Prodrive Pack in 2007 when the car was only a month old. Also present in the history folder is every previous MoT certificate. A Cat 1 alarm system is fitted (with PIN) and this Subaru comes with the original handbooks and service book with 11 stamps, five of which are by Subaru main dealers. Coil over suspension and a performance exhaust system ensure this is a car that not only handles well but sounds superb. Supplied with a current V5 registration document, a current MoT test certificate valid until 10th April 2023 and two sets of keys. With only three former keepers, this very well-presented Subaru Impreza WRX STi is a great car to drive.

2011 Volkswagen Golf GTi Edition 35 DSG Transmission: automaticMileage:29662Following Volkswagen's 30th anniversary edition GTi, the 35th anniversary was celebrated with the GTi Edition 35. Its engine was an updated version of the Mk5 GTi engine (also used in the Mk6 Golf R), a two litre turbocharged engine with 232bhp (24bhp more than the standard GTi) and acceleration from 0-62mph is in 6.6 seconds.  A range of cosmetic upgrades and extra standard equipment were fitted, and it also got a unique lower front fascia and Recaro sport seats.This lovely and rare 35 edition from Japan is presented in metallic grey with black leather and Alcantara interior. It comes with a full history and a stamped VW book (from Japan) and has cruise control, climate control, electric folding mirrors, automatic lights, adjustable suspension, trip computer and has the desirable six speed DSG automatic gearbox. A 'hot hatch' indeed with great performance and being the rare 35 edition, its certainly one to consider bearing in mind its low mileage.Interested parties please note that contrary to what is printed in the catalogue and what is on the website, this car does not have a full service history as stated but has service history from 30,000 miles onwards.

1968 MG C Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:16321The MGC was the first 'high performance' version of the MGB. From early in the design stages of the MGB there was an intention to create high performance variants, using a range of Vee engines that did not make it to production. The MGC was much more than a tuned MGB, in fact it was a completely re-engineered car, but retained many visual connections to the MGB. On the outside the MGC was often mistaken for an MGB as the only visual difference was the heavily bulged bonnet with a transverse chrome strip that accentuated the bulges, and the standard use of 15” wheels instead of the 14” used on the MGB. Inside there were very few differences between the B and C, other than the 140mph speedometer and tachometer with a yellow and red banding, set against lower RPM than the MGB. One of just 1,403 home market supplied cars, this Mineral Blue example with overdrive gearbox was delivered to University Motors of Epsom in 1968 and then sold on to Mr. J. Edwards on 12th February of that year. Mr Edwards kept the car until the late 1980's, when it was purchased by a Mr. William Scholfield, who shared and enjoyed the car with his son until 2007. Reportedly only used on sunny days throughout Mr. Scholfield's ownership, it was however treated to running restoration work throughout the 1990's, with well regarded Oselli Engineering modifying the cylinder head for unleaded fuel and upgrading it to Stage 1 tune, along with upgrading the camshaft to aid with engine pickup. The bodywork was also repaired where required and resprayed by Falla Classics in Bournemouth in 1997. To aid in the drivability of the car, Oselli fitted a quick rack steering rack along with stiffer antiroll bar and telescopic dampers all round. A servo has also been fitted to aid braking. Amongst the many receipts in the car's history file are also included the car's original BMC 'Passport to Service' booklet which shows the service stamps for the first few years with University Motors, (and later receipts for more work carried out by them in the early 1980's), as well as a copy of the original green logbook. The vendor reports the car to run and drive extremely well and certainly presents very well and is a rare example of an MGC that has led a pampered life.Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, impressive history file, MoT test certificates dating back to the mid 1980s, owner's handbook and manual, along with a photographic record of its restoration, file of receipts and a current MoT test certificate valid until July 2023. Such a beautifully presented car, with such an impressive history file is hard to find, especially being one of the 1,403 UK supplied home market cars.

Lot 150

1965 MG B Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:87495The MGB was launched in May 1962 to replace the MGA and was introduced as a four-cylinder roadster with a coupé added in 1965. It was a relatively modern design at the time of its introduction, utilising a monocoque structure instead of the traditional 'body-on-frame' construction used on both the MGA and MG T-types. The lightweight design reduced manufacturing costs while adding to overall vehicle strength. Manual windows were standard and a comfortable driver's compartment offered plenty of legroom. The MGB's performance was considered brisk at the time of its introduction with a 0-60mph time of just over 11 seconds; this was aided by the relatively light weight of the car. Handling was one of the MGB's strong points. The three-bearing 1798cc, B-Series engine produced 95bhp at 5,400rpm with the engine upgraded in October 1964 to a five-bearing crankshaft to improve reliability. The MGB was one of the first cars to feature controlled crumple zones designed to protect the driver and passenger at a 30mph impact.This early, desirable, 'pull handle' restored MGB roadster with overdrive has been fully maintained until the car was taken off the road in 2005. Prior to going into hibernation this MG had substantial amounts of money spent on it. It received a restoration in 1988, when the engine was replaced with a genuine BMC 'Gold Seal' unit. In 2011 the car was recovered from the barn where it was being stored and sold as a sound restoration project. It went into storage until it was purchased again in 2017 and has spent the last five years undergoing a complete rebuild by an MG enthusiast. The engine has had the big end bearings replaced, new piston rings and the cylinder head overhauled. The gearbox was rebuilt by Hardy Engineering Transmissions Ltd. They also checked the overdrive unit and the rear differential. A new wiring loom was supplied and fitted and at the same time the polarity was changed from positive to negative earth. This lovely MGB roadster has been repainted in its original colour Tartan Red and has black leather interior. It is also supplied with a new hood and has a tonneau cover. In the history file are a large number of invoices going back to 1988, old MoT test certificates up to 2005, the V5 registration document, an old V5 and the Heritage Certificate. This represents an opportunity to purchase a car that will give the new owner good, reliable motoring in this popular marque.

1968 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk. II Transmission: manualMileage:31026The motoring correspondent of The Times reported in May 1963 the Mini while a popular second car in many households was no longer strictly the fashion, the Grande Luxe Mini de Ville by Radford had taken over. On test in London, he reported, it attracted more attention than a Ferrari Berlinetta with its special colour scheme and trim, sliding sunroof, radiator grille with two more recessed lights, special sound insulation and electric windows. The car tested by The Times also had white leather upholstery and deep lambswool carpets, tachometer, ammeter, oil gauge, clock, headlamp flasher and water temperature gauge. Further extras were: a laminated wood steering wheel, automatic red caution lights on open doors, a reading light, cigar lighter, twin-speaker radio and an air blower to demist the rear window. After the 1967 Earls Court Motor Show The Times recorded that Captains of Industry ordered them, painted them to match their Rolls-Royces and gave them to their wives. Pop Stars and West End playboys presumably invested in them as a status symbols. The reporter tested 'a typical Mini de Ville', a 1275 Mini-Cooper S with an engine performance pack providing up to about 110 m.p.h. Outwardly the only distinction was the magnesium alloy wheels, sunroof and non-standard paint. Inside absolutely everything seemed like a refugee from a Rolls-Royce.This exceptional 1968 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk. II has all the hallmarks of being a superb example built by Radford, but no records to prove this can be found. Purchased by a private collector in 2016 where it remained until now only covering 70 miles in this time, but still being fully maintained. The previous owner purchased the car around 2012 from a long-term owner who lived in Derby. Between his purchase and the car being sold in 2016 he sent it to marque specialists Paul Preston Classic Mini Restoration for repainting and restoring as necessary. Stripping the car down and removing the original paint, it was found that the body was sound and rust free, the coachbuilders work was to the highest 'Rolls-Royce' standards where the Mk. II body shell had been de-seemed and lead filled including the smoothed front panel. The car was repainted to the highest of standards in the original colour of maroon. Refitted the excellent bespoke cream and piped red, Connolly leather interior, the burr walnut dashboard with a full compliment of Smith gauges and felt roof lining, A and C pillar panels and Mota Lita wood rimmed steering wheel. Other Radford features include a Webasto folding sunroof and grill recessed Lucas spotlights. During this time the engine and gearbox were overhauled. This lovely Cooper S is supplied with a V5 registration document, the heritage certificate confirming that it is a matching numbers car and file with history.

1966 Ford Mustang FIA 'Notchback' Transmission: manualMileage:UK saloon racing in the 1960s was epitomised by the battles between the American V8s and the British Lotus Ford Cortinas and Austin Coopers of the day. They were driven, in the British Saloon Car Championship (pre-BTCC), by current Grand-Prix stars such as Jim Clark, Jack Brabham and Graham Hill, as well as saloon car specialists like Frank Gardener, Brian Muir, Sir Gawaine Bailie, Roy Pierpoint and Jack Sears. It was an exciting and evocative period of racing and the crowds enjoyed the closeness of the racing brought about by the contrasting abilities of the nimble Cortinas and Minis and the straight line speed of the V8s.Imported to the UK in 2010, this 1966 dry state Arizona sourced Mustang, was bought with the sole intention of being built into a top specification FIA race car. The car was stripped and then acid dipped to give a lightweight and ideal starting point. Built from the ground up by Any Yool, the car was purchased by the vendor in 2016 after the car had won its class at the 2015 Spa 6 hour race. Since then, the car has been subject to intense development with no stone left unturned. The supplied history file shows this development and the cost that comes with that, amounting to well over £150,000, excluding the cost of the car in 2016.Now only offered for sale to help fund a FIA TVR Griffith project, this ultimate specification FIA Mustang is available at a fraction of the cost to build a comparable car, with all of the development work having already carried out. No expense has been spared since the vendors ownership, with help coming first from V8 specialist Nigel Reuben Racing and more recently the legendary Alan Mann Racing team. In fact, Steve Soper recently took the car for a couple of laps of Donington on a test day and immediately managed a 1:22:82 lap in traffic, on only one flying lap. Given that his qualifying lap in April of this year in his own car, was only 3 tenths of a second quicker, shows the car definitely has the capability to compete for race wins. The specification of this car is truly impressive, boasting amongst other things; an Inconel exhaust system, (an extremely light and expensive metal used to make Formula 1 exhausts), Kenny Coleman EDA FIA specification engine, new rear axle, new gearbox, new Alan Mann custom dampers and new VBox Lite datalogger and video system along with its FIA technical passport valid through until the end of 2028. Such is the quality of the car that it was invited to race in the 2021 Pierpoint Cup at the Goodwood Members Meeting, where the vendor shared the car with racing legend Jochen Mass, (whose signature can be seen on the glove box).Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, file of receipts, FIA papers, Alan Mann set-up information folder and eight spare wheels. Road registered and wanting for nothing, this FIA Mustang presents an opportunity to acquire a fully developed car that is eligible for all the top events including Goodwood and Masters Series, amongst many others.

1997 Land Rover 90 Wolf Ex-MoDTransmission: manualMileage:117,000Especially built for the Ministry of Defence, it is understood that only approximately 8,000 Defender Wolf’s were made and a large number of those would have been hardtops and/or the 110 variety or left hand drive. These right hand drive soft top or full tilt examples are particularly rare. Sources suggest the upgrades to the standard defender put the Wolf price to the MoD at around £40,000 in 1997/8. Upgrades included a 2” ride height increase due to heavy duty suspension design whilst the chassis on the HD models (Heavy Duty) are said to be eight times stronger than standard and fitted with a heavy duty roll cage, propshaft protection between chassis and hub and heavy duty bumpers. These vehicles also feature sealed headlights with breather pipes to top of windscreen, 113bhp, 300TDi engine with no electronics except fuel pump solenoid, rust proofed chassis from new, gearbox cooling system, reinforced front bulkhead, rails and sills, reinforced Salisbury rear axle and standard reinforced front axle and uprated diffs, 80 litre reinforced fuel tank, very tough and heavy duty Wolf wheels, convoy light system with a light illuminating the white painted rear differential, NATO towing hitch, 24v electrical system plus 24v generator and side mounted spare wheel to name but a few modifications. A few Wolf Defenders have been de-commissioned by the forces and are now in civilian hands but are quite rare, especially ones that have not suffered damage and in excellent condition. Virtually all appear to have been very well maintained mechanically by the MoD as would be expected.This 90 Wolf was originally registered to the Ministry of Defence and used by the Royal Air Force, the military registration mark was KA71AA. It was stationed in various regions all within the UK. Once de-commissioned, this Land Rover was purchased privately and has subsequently been restored to a very high standard, bearing only a few resemblances to the RAF specification Wolf. During the restoration the doors were replaced with Series One doors, giving this a slightly more authentic, rugged Land Rover feel. The interior has been retrimmed in leather and heated seats have been fitted. Now painted in metallic grey and fitted with side steps, lamp protectors, wing protectors and a new canvas roof to the rear, this 90 Wolf is certainly a head turner. Supplied with a V5 registration document and paperwork confirming the cars interesting history, this Land Rover has to be seen to be appreciated, the quality is exceptional.

1961 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster (Flat floor)Transmission: automaticLaunched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type was nothing short of a revelation. With its heady blend of supercar performance, breathtaking styling and low price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamoring. While early sports car racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement its reputation. Built as a monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension (torsion-bar front/coil-sprung rear) rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent road holding and handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head, its indomitable 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft of torque. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox (with synchromesh on 2nd, 3rd and 4th), it reputedly enabled the E-type to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph, the E-type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar.This Jaguar has been stored for a number of years and will require a full restoration. The vendor started some of the preparatory jobs, however, due to other work pressures, he has decided to part with this flat floor E-Type. Items like the heater box, headlamps and washer bottle have been removed although they come with the car in separate boxes, the vendor has prepared a full inventory of parts. We believe the car is complete with all the ancillaries; this genuine UK supplied right hand drive flat floor example is certainly a project that is well worth completing as it retains all the features from these early E-Types.The Jaguar Drivers Club along with other Owners Clubs ensure parts are in plentiful supply along with any help and advice that may be required. The car is sold without a V5 document, however the Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirms the car to have been manufactured on 18th October 1961 and supplied by Ritchies in Glasgow. More importantly, this is a matching numbers example. The registration number of VSN 534 is still registered according to the HPI on file and assigned to this early Jaguar E-Type which would indicate obtaining a V5 document should be a relatively simple process. Without doubt Series I E-Types are aesthetically beautiful and whilst this example requires a bit more than a T-Cut and polish to bring it back to its former glory, the finished article will be well worth the effort and once again a fabulous flat floor E-Type will grace our roads! A matching numbers exampleAppears to be complete with a number of parts in boxes

1995 Nissan Skyline GT R33 Transmission: manualMileage:16928 The R33 incarnation of the GT-R is still a pure sports car experience, but now aided by some of the most revolutionary handling technology to influence modern performance driving.The new R33 Skyline GT-R was launched in January 1995 with a base GT-R and the V Spec model which offered a sportier suspension set-up resulting in lower ground clearance, and also featured the newer ATTESA E-TS Pro all-wheel drive system, which included an Active Limited-Slip Differential.At the heart of the V-spec was the ATTESA-ETS Pro Electronic Torque Split System which, at the time, made it arguably the most technologically advanced production car in the world. The system was conceived in the 1990s for the JTCC to enable some 600bhp to be fed through the wheels and on to the racetrack efficiently. The V Spec also featured an active LSD on the rear axle which further aided traction by calculating the optimum torque-split between the left and right rear wheels, variable from fully locked to totally free. Working along with ATTESA-ETS PRO, is the SUPER HICAS rear-wheel steering. This uses a series of sensors to monitor vehicle motion, rate of turn and the driver's action on the steering wheel. Complex software then compares this information to the computer predictions of the car's ideal turning characteristics, adjusting the angle of the rear wheels to reflect the driver's intentions. The result of this type of technology? Neutral steering and unrivalled cornering capabilities.The engine in the R33 was nearly identical to the previous R32 using the same turbochargers and the same specification for the manual gearbox, although the synchros were made to be stronger.The increased body rigidity and improved handling potential necessitated several specially designed cross members being incorporated into the monocoque and extra torsion bars were added to the multi-link suspension to further enhance stability. Working closely with Bridgestone technicians to perfect the Potenza tyres, Nissan put the prototype R33 GT-R through its paces in all weathers at the notorious Nürburgring, earning them a daring reputation amongst other manufacturers. To equalise front/rear weight distribution, the bonnet and front wings were made of aluminium instead of steel and the battery was fitted at the base of the car's boot, lowering the centre of gravity and further improving handling. The braking system was designed by Italy's famous Brembo Spa, suppliers to many of the world's Formula 1 teams at this time. Four-piston calipers were fitted on the front with two-piston calipers on the rear to bite into the discs with a diamond shaped ventilation bores which increased the surface area to aid heat dissipation.This, Japanese imported, superb example of the fearsome Skyline is presented in Midnight Purple with grey/blue cloth interior. It is powered by the mighty 2.5 six cylinder turbocharged engine. Inside the Skyline GT-R, form followed function. Mono-form bucket seats with integrated headrests that are lightweight yet immensely tough provide the ideal driving position and supported the body against the G-forces endured under hard acceleration and cornering. The car comes with a full service history and has recently had its timing belt and auxiliary belts changed as well as having new wheels and tyres fitted also. Since being imported from Japan in 1999, the car has only had one UK owner and has been beautifully kept in this time having been dry stored with air conditioning, from then until today. This Skyline is in superb condition throughout and will come to auction with a new MoT. A true  'Wolf in sheep's clothing'! The odometer is in kilometers but translated it reads 16,928 miles.

Sharing the Volkswagen Group A5 platform, it debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in October 2003 and went on sale in Europe one month later. The GTI comes with VW's four-cylinder 2.0L Turbo engine (FSI) which gives it 197 bhp. Transmissions include a six-speed manual or six-speed DSG. The Mk. 5 is now regarded as probably the best incarnation of the legendary GTi after the original Mk. 1 of 1976-1983 and is fast acquiring modern classic status.This lovely, limited edition 'Pirelli' Mk 5 GTi is presented in black, with black leather/Alcantara interior with yellow stitching, and bearing the eponymous Pirelli design in the centre of the seats which looks superb.

1989 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5 16V CosworthTransmission: manualMileage:90,500In 1983, Mercedes-Benz introduced the Cosworth 2.3 16V into their range and the new cars were substantially different from the other 190 models. The body kit reduced the drag coefficient and the steering wheel was smaller than that on other 190s, whilst the fuel tank was enlarged to 70 litres. The Getrag five-speed, manual gearbox was unique to the 16 valve and featured a 'dog-leg' first gear. An enlarged 2.5 litre engine replaced the 2.3 in 1988 and offered double-row timing chains to fix the unreliable single chains on the early 2.3s. The power output was up by 17bhp with a slight increase in torque. It is debated whether the 2.5 engine was developed and built by Mercedes-Benz or by Cosworth … Interestingly, they were not keen to broadcast the fact that their most sporting saloon car had an engine developed by a British company. The suspension on the 16 valve models is very different from the standard 190 and as well as being lower and stiffer, it has larger anti-roll bars, harder bushes and hydraulic self-levelling suspension on the rear allowing the rear ride-height to remain constant even when the car is fully loaded.Presented in Smoke Silver with contrasting Black leather interior, this example features the desirable manual gearbox. Recommissioned in 2021 following a decade in storage, this Mercedes-Benz had £6,288 spent on it including a new battery, fuel distributor, clutch master / slave cylinders, spark plugs, injectors and brake calipers etc. In addition, the self-levelling rear suspension was fettled and the engine tuned. Currently showing some 90,500 miles, this impressive 190E boasts the original tool kit, spare wheel, owner’s manual, service booklet (the latter carrying sixteen stamps) and old MOT certificates from 1999-2011 in a large history file. Offered with an MOT Valid until 09 March 2023 a real wolf in sheep’s clothing.*Interested parties should note that the current registration does not come with the car and that a new one will be issued.Interested parties please note that this Lot is not sold with its most recent V5C however this has been applied for and will arrive in due course; we will forward this onto the successful bidder.

1980 Triumph TR8 Convertible Transmission: automaticMileage:27276Offered here is an original and very rare right hand drive, automatic example which was used by British Leyland as the factory demonstrator. Built to US specification the TR8 is fitted with a low compression engine for unleaded petrol and a Lucas electronic fuel injection system. Previously owned by Rex Holford, known to most in several associated car clubs simply as 'Mr TR8', who acquired the car in February 1987 and set about an extensive restoration over the next few years. This included a complete bare metal respray in its original colour of Platinum Silver and a refitted blue velour interior trim.This example is offered with an extremely rare specification as only 16 cars were fitted with automatic gearboxes and fuel injection. Additionally, air conditioning was factory fitted, as befitted a car designed for California. This Triumph carries engine number 15E0002 (the lowest known in that series). The other 15 automatic examples were left hand drive cars and shipped to the west coast of America. In total some 2,800 TR8s were built - the bulk of which were left hand drive cars exported to North America. There were less than 36 factory built right hand drive examples, and of these just four came with automatic transmission, making this a superb opportunity to acquire an important part of Triumph's history.Rex Holford was the TR Drivers Club TR8 archivist after having been the TR8 Registrar for many years and was very well known in TR8 circles in both the UK and abroad. He helped organise five TR8 days over the past 25 years (July 2023 will see another one at Gaydon, in his memory) gathering factory built TR8s from across Europe. His website, www.tr8archive.co.uk, remains a testament to his knowledge and passion for the marque. One could consider this vehicle to be his legacy.In 2021 the TR8 was treated to further mechanical work including an extensive engine rebuild and a complete gearbox overhaul. All work was carried out to a very high standard by renowned TR8 restoration and service specialists, Crucial Automatics. Included in the work was a full engine detailing and new Ethanol proof fuel hoses (to prevent E10 degradation). Having covered very few miles since the engine rebuild the appropriate care should be taken when running the new engine in, over the next 500 miles.

1979 Renault 5 Gordini Mk. ITransmission: manual The Renault 5 Alpine was one of the first hot-hatches, launched in 1976 - going on sale two months before the original Volkswagen Golf GTI. The right-hand drive version was shown at the British Motor Show in 1978 and was officially on sale from 4 April 1979 in the UK and was sold as the Renault 5 Gordini because Chrysler Europe already had the rights to the name "Alpine" in the UK. UK launch price was £4149, nearly a third more than the previous top model the TS at £3187, showing the considerable changes to the car over the 64PS TS which could not reach 100 mph compared to the 93PS Gordini which could reach 110 mph. The 1.4 L OHV engine, mated to a five-speed gearbox, was based on the Renault "Sierra" pushrod engine, but having a crossflow cylinder head with hemispherical combustion chambers and developed 92 hp, twice as much as a standard 1108 cc Renault 5. The larger engine and its various performance parts meant that the spare wheel could no longer fit there and was relocated to the boot/trunk. The Alpine could be identified by special alloy wheels and front fog lights and was equipped with stiffened suspension, but still retaining the torsion bar at the rear with added anti-roll bars. Renault quoted a top speed of 110 mph and tested in the July 1979 issue of UK magazine CAR, it achieved a 0-60 mph in 9.7 seconds.First registered 8th August 1979, this rare Silver Mk I Gordini is likely one of the earliest examples of a Mk I still in existence in the UK. Purchased in 2015 complete and as a good runner it was owned by two brothers who took great pride in their cars and loved this 5 dearly. They maintained the car- which could outperform a turbo car in certain situations- impeccably. The seats are very rare, in the original fabric and in fantastic condition, having spent much of their lives having been protected by special seat covers made to protect them and complement the original interior. As with all old Renault 5s it had some bodywork imperfections, therefore our vendor decided to sympathetically restore it, and spent many hours of the restoration determined to keep this car as original as possible- including a sympathetic respray. The decals have been reproduced from originals, wheels have been refurbished and diamond cut, new tyres fitted and it presents as a time warp example. Having been in storage since the restoration was completed and not driven on the road since, it is therefore stunning; but with this in mind, the car would benefit from a check over before it was driven on the road in anger. Simply put, find another… and then find another in this condition with thousands spent in a sympathetic restoration. A true collectors dream and incredibly rare on these shores. Why waste your time with a Mini, when you could have Gordini?Restored sympatheticallyIncredibly rare UK supplied Mk I

1972 AC Aceca Cobra Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:11500Classic cars and, in particular, sports cars evolve continually. Brakes keep up with power; bodywork keeps up with performance and tyres have to keep the whole lot on the road. Some cars just get it right first time and so it was with the AC Ace. The first incarnation being AC engined but latterly Bristol and Ford. It was its slippery shape and already impressive performance that gave Carroll Shelby the idea to import 100 cars and shoehorn V8 units under the bonnet. The first 75 had 260ci power plants with the latter 289ci units culminating in the Mk. III 427SC monsters.In addition to this line up however, there is the Aceca with beautifully sculptured bodywork by John Tojeiro and subsequently refined by Allan Turner.  AC cars contracted Tojeiro to design the AC Ace, which was loosely based around his earlier, highly successful, Tojeiro/Bristol sports racing car, this proved popular on both road and track in the UK and abroad. Trevor Legate, author of Cobra: 'The First 40 Years' first knew that AC were casting about for a V8 for their Aceca back in the 1960s. The AC engine was not really cutting it and the Bristol unit was going out of production anyway. Derek Hurlock of AC Cars needed something with a bit more 'bite' but none of the major manufacturers seemed willing to help. The man who finally brought the idea of a V8-powered Aceca to fruition was Werner Oswald, an AC enthusiast living in Switzerland in the early eighties. He owned several ACs with various engines but always harboured a desire to produce the model that the AC factory never got around to.He had a rough 1958 AC Aceca at the time but with no engine or front axle. His brother had an accident damaged AC 428 Frua which did not require any strengthening or modifications to accommodate a big Ford V8. All additional underpinnings were from a Mk. III Cobra with independent double-wishbone and coil over shock absorbers all round, as per the later Mk. III 427SC Cobras.A first-class panel beater was then employed to marry the two units together with Mk. II Cobra-modified wheel arches and Mk. II side vents.Finally, the meat in the sandwich was a 1969 BOSS 302 engine conceived for TransAm and Nascar using a Windsor block and Cleveland big-valve heads and steel crankshaft, conrods and +0.03” pistons. Recently re-built by GT40 specialist Steve Warrior, it was guaranteed to be as quick and useable as any Cobra could be. Intake was through a four-barrel Holley carburettor topped by a 14” K&N air filter with a Mallory distributor assisted by an MSD electronic ignition system. It also included Aeroquip hoses throughout as well as competition cooling pipework and a built-in fire extinguisher system.The Richmond 4+1 was the gearbox of choice offering five forward gears and able to channel the 400+bhp through to the road and able to supply both the searing acceleration and flexible, unstressed cruising performance. Werner Oswald finished it in 1982 using it for about two years in Switzerland and another two in the UK.16 years ago, the vendor and racing driver of some note with Le Mans Cobra and Lola T70 wins to his name, acquired the Aceca and set about a bare aluminium repaint in its original Cunningham racing colours of Wimbledon White paintwork with twin blue racing stripes. And rightly so for this is no retiring angel. The interior has been retrimmed with a contrasting blue Connolly leather, Wilton carpets and bucket seats as well a classic AC Ace/Aceca dashboard yet the central gear-lever, with its Hurst Shifter, is pure Cobra.This author is reliably informed that it drives and performs exactly like a Mk. III Cobra with precise handling and a smooth and even power delivery right across the band. The main difference, of course, is that this has been meticulously put together internally but the lightest of touches with your right foot will quickly remind you this is no transcontinental cruiser. This Aceca Cobra ticks so many boxes, has the history to match and has been put together so well and regardless of cost, it really does represent the car that AC should have built. It represents such an important point in History that it caught the eye of noted podcaster, Petrol Ped and he spent a happy afternoon with cameras in the Sussex countryside reviewing the car, it's build and performance. He seemed to enjoy himself!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1VTApO8MGEInterested parties should note that this lot comes complete with a full set of the original wire wheels plus a set of five Minilite items, four with fitted Avon tyres the 5th bare.

2010 Aston Martin DBS Volante Transmission: paddleMileage:39500A classic grand tourer in the truest sense and based on the DB9, it replaced the Vanquish in 2007. Obviously, as an Aston, it featured in a number of Bond movies most notably, Quantum of Solace with Daniel Craig, making full use of the 6.0 litre, V12 in front of him.The volante version, as this car is, offers a fully retractable fabric roof folding into the compartment located behind the seats in just 14 seconds. Transmission features a six-speed 'Touchtronic 2' automatic gearbox with a Bang & Olufsen Beosound DBS in-car entertainment system with no fewer than 13 speakers as if the exhaust note was not resounding enough.Fitted with additional carbon ceramic disc brakes to the striking 20-spoke alloy wheels, the tyres remain in good order all round. Under inspection, the Quantum Silver paintwork appears to be in excellent condition. There are light abrasions to the front offside splitter and rear boot trim piece but little more to criticise. The interior is a lovely Lords Red Caithness leather space with Obsidian Black contrasting panels, well looked after with full length Piano Black fascia trim. Supplied with an MoT test certificate valid until May 2023, this represents superb value for the remainder of the summer...Whilst this lot is currently registered in France, it has now been imported to the UK and a NOVA certificate issued to register the car once again in the UK. It is now expected that the previous UK registration number will be reassigned.Interested parties should note that this example will be, it is thought, reassigned its original registration of KX59 JMO

2005 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Transmission: paddleMileage:27600Replacing the preceding 456, this physically larger model was a genuine four-seat grand tourer and thus extremely capable. The front engined, V12 powerplant was shared with the 575 Superamerica pushing this significant motorcar passed the magic 200mph point. Guitar legend, Eric Clapton, owned a similar model as did many other Ferrari collectors who recognised its understated styling and powerful performance.This much-loved example, presented in Argento Nürburgring 101/C with a contrasting Bordeaux 4481 red leather and Bordeaux 481 carpet interior, was originally delivered from the Ferrari's Carrozzeria Scaglietti plant to Maranello Concessionaires in Egham. The first owner specified red brake calipers with carbon ceramic brakes, 19” modular wheel rims and Pirelli tyres externally, as well as heated front seats, a plumbed-in 'infotainment' system to keep up to date with the outside world and a Navtrak anti-theft system. Additionally, 'Scuderia Ferrari' shields were applied along with rear parking sensors. We are pleased to report that this Ferrari has been used for the exact purpose for which it has been designed, that is to say, trans-continental touring as husband and wife having used it on many such occasions, the F1-style gearbox certainly helping with the distances. With light stone-chip wear associated with use, this benefits from a recent service and an MoT test certificate valid until September 2023.Interested parties should note that the current registration does not come with the car and that a new one will be issued.

2018 Porsche 911 / 991 GT3 TouringThe seventh generation of Porsche's perennial 911 sports car was designated 'Type 991', succeeding the Type 997. Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2011, the Type 991 is only the third all-new platform for the 911 since the original of 1963, the second being the Type 996 of 1999. Porsche's signature 'flat-six' engine was available in three different capacities in the Type 991 (3.4-liters, 3.8-liters, and 4.0-liters) with power outputs ranging from the entry-level Carrera's 345bhp up to the Turbo S's 552 horsepower. Following its established practice, Porsche also offered Cabriolet, Targa, GT3 and GT3 RS variants to cater for all customer demands ranging from soft-top boulevard cruiser to track-day assault weapon. In September 2015, the Type 991 was introduced in revised and restyled form for the 2016 model year, becoming the '991.2' in factory parlance. To the concern of some traditionalists, turbo-charged engines were now standardised throughout the range. The purists did not have to wait long for their concerns to be assuaged, as in March 2016 at the Geneva Motor Show Porsche unveiled the limited edition 911 R, featuring the 'old' GT3 RS's normally aspirated 4.0-litre 493bhp engine and a new six-speed manual gearbox. Extensive changes were made to the engine allowing a 9,000 rpm redline from the 4.0-liter flat-six engine. Porsche's focus was on reducing internal friction to improve throttle response. The 991.2 GT3 brought back the choice between a manual transmission or PDK dual clutch transmission. A Touring version was also introduced which came standard with the comfort package and the manual transmission along with the deletion of the fixed rear wing and employing an electronically operated rear wing instead.This UK registered example presented in Fashion Grey offers an incredible 588 miles from new. Presented as new in the rarer Touring specification, this example is in collector condition and very desirable.Incredible low mileage exampleDesirable, 6-speed manual shift, high-performance 4.0-Liter 991.2 GT3

1933 Pierce Arrow 836 Club Brougham Two-Door Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:56300While the Pierce-Arrow became one of the most prestigious automobiles available, their beginnings were humble. Bicycles first, as with many firms of note, but by the turn of the century, steam cars broke through using De Dion engines. The cars became bigger and moved over to the internal combustion engine culminating in the Great Arrow that helped gain Pierce its reputation by winning the first five Glidden Tours, a reliability trial of 1,100 miles whilst still aiming firmly at the wealthy end of the marketplace. President Taft was the first US President to use one for official occasions with Roosevelt following the trend and many more to come.Throughout WWI, the Pierce-Arrow commercial line was busy turning out two and five-ton trucks ordered in their hundreds by both the French and English governments. Post-war, production resumed although the attention to detail remained the same. Controlling interest of the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company was then purchased by the Studebaker Corporation in 1928. While the two companies maintained independent, Pierce-Arrow's future was now influenced by its new major stockholder.Registered in 1933 and built in Buffalo, USA, this 836 two-door Club Brougham, the name taken from Lord Brougham-designed horse-driven coach. With just four owners throughout its 89 years, all of which have been traced throughout its extensive history file, its long-term membership of the Pierce Arrow Society has been recorded over time, a club famous for its meticulous database of cars and their owners.The car's 56,300 recorded mileage is documented and correct and the overall condition is exceptional with numerous wins at various car shows. Power comes from a flat-head, straight eight-cylinder engine with a two-stage carburettor an advanced & retarred choke with a three-speed manual gearbox and freewheel. This can also just the use of the clutch on first gear only if required and benefits from a four-wheel parking brake. An enlarged carburettor has been fitted allowing the engine to run good and cool alongside a new starter motor and refurbished gearbox and examination of clutch. The carburettor has been overhauled with work carried out by specialists, Overton's.This hugely elegant and imposing American classic sits on brand new whitewall tyres with the steering, linkage and each wheel professionally balanced. A damper has been fitted to the steering wheel and the electrics are now operated by twin six-volt Optima batteries with an isolation switch and charging points for maintenance trickle chargers. The original exhausts have also been copied and replaced by stainless steel items. I'm sure the vendor would not my saying this but the owner is a perfectionist and has even had the vulnerable Pierce Arrow mascot restored to first class condition with the bow and arrow rebuilt in solid silver.Owned for over 12 years and after a recent 600-mile tour of Norfolk and Suffolk with no issue, the owner will certainly be sorry to see her go.(Music with thanks to Audionautix)

1968 Jaguar XK120 by Aristocat Transmission: automaticMileage: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. Finished in Opalescent Green with a gold fleck and contrasting biscuit leather interior, and sitting on wire wheels with an automatic gearbox and power steering,  this example was purchased in kit form from Autotune Aristocat in the late 80s and finished in the early 2000s. Built by two engineers, a considerable amount of time was spent improving the kit including re-working the doors, bonnet and boot for a much better fit and also improving the wiring in order to be more reliable and fitting Dual Servo brakes for better braking. The rear axle was also completely rebuilt.  An extensive build file is with the car. Including original Aristocat invoices, build sheets, build photographs, specifications list and history of the donor car, which was a 1968 Jaguar 420, chosen as it came under Historic status and allowed a more Jaguar XK period number plate. All ancillaries were used from this car; however, the engine is a period correct 3.4 litre from an XJ6 which also provided the power steering and automatic gearbox. The seats have full working recline, lumber, height and sliding adjustment. Many correct XK120 features include split windscreen, four spoke Moto-Lita steering wheel, period correct bonnet badge and also correct slim bumpers. Owned for 15 years, this car has taken art in various European trips, classic car rallies and has been a regular entrant at various classic car shows. The car has been described as incredibly reliable and regularly serviced by the owner. The Aristocat marque has shown itself to be a well-designed vehicle and attracts a worldwide following. Presented to auction with a V5C registration document XSV852, it surely deserves a closer look.

1998 Mini Cooper Transmission: manualMileage:70725Launched in 1996 the Mk. VII was the final version of the classic shaped Mini. The car was now fitted with twin point injection with front-mounted radiator, a full-width dashboard replaced the original shelf, internal bonnet release and the Introduction of an airbag on the driver's side. The basic Mini was the 1.3i, the other model in the range being the Mini Cooper. The end of production in October 2000 not only signalled the end of original Mini production after 41 years, but also brought about the demise of the 1275-cc engine which had powered the Mini and numerous other BL/BMC/ARG cars for more than 35 years. The Metro had ceased production two and a half years earlier, ironically meaning the Mini outlived the car that was supposed to replace it.This impressive Cooper edition was supplied new to Japan in 1998.This 1275 Mini has been well looked after and is described by the vendor as '10/10 in every regard'. Presenting in white with a contrasting black roof, black wheel arches and fitted with driving lamps, this iconic car certainly looks the part. The interior is fitted with leather seats, a new one-piece red carpet, a bespoke carbon fibre dashboard and door finishers and air conditioning. We are also informed that the looks are complemented by the drive of this car which has benefitted from a new gearbox, new clutch, new wheels and tyres, adjustable shock absorbers and a recent service. Offered without reserve this Mini would grace any collection.

1960 Jaguar Mk.II Saloon Transmission: manualMileage:71633The Jaguar Mk. II was a medium size saloon built from 1959 to 1967 as a successor to the 2.4 and 3.4 Mk. I models. The Mk. II was handsome, powerful and a good handling saloon which was offered with a choice of three six-cylinder, twin cam engines; 2.4 litre, 3.4 litre or 3.8 litre. After the appreciation of the MK. I, Jaguar's successor was well received, making a good car even better.  Similar in appearance, but with a bigger glass area, the Mk. II boasted a wider track to improve road holding, together with minor front suspension changes to reduce body roll, and the new Dunlop disc brakes fitted all-round rather than drum brakes. The 210bhp 3.4 litre engine variant proved to be the most popular, offering the best compromise between performance and economy.  Naturally, the performance was excellent, therefore the Mk. II 3.8 litre has enjoyed great success on the track and can still be a very competitive historic race car.This 1960 Jaguar Mk. II 3.8 litre was purchased by the current owner in 1995 as a restoration project. After many months of stripping down then removing all the paint and filler, he set about rebuilding the body shell. The vendor then carried out any repairs as necessary and fitted four new original Jaguar doors and metal rear wheel spats. The original colour was changed from grey to Old English White, the reassembly was started and mechanicals refitted. In the late 1990s work stopped and it went into storage, then twelve years ago it was taken to well-known classic Jaguar specialists based in Maidenhead who finished the assembly. They refitted the new red leather interior, adding to all the re-chromed bumpers and window frames etc. When new the car was supplied with an automatic gearbox which at some point has been replaced with a manual gearbox with overdrive, which was overhauled in 2013. Around the same time the engine was taken out again and completely rebuilt. When it was removed it was discovered that the 3.8 engine had been replaced with a 3.4 litre unit from a later Jaguar S-Type. The car has been fitted with electric power steering replacing the original fluid system. In 2020 the rear axle was removed and completely rebuilt, and at the same time it was fitted with new chrome wire wheels and tyres. This Jaguar Mk. II is supplied with a V5 registration document and a very large file containing information, invoices and some photographs of the restoration. This is a very good reliable example, perfect for historic rallies, Bicester Scrambles or just touring.

1971 Triumph Stag Transmission: manualMileage:55000Launched in 1970, the Triumph Stag was a luxury grand tourer. Envisioned as a luxury sports car, it was designed to compete directly with the Mercedes-Benz SL class models. All Stags were four-seater convertible coupés. However, for structural rigidity and to meet new American rollover standards at the time, the Stag required a B-pillar 'roll bar' hoop connected to the windscreen frame by a T-bar. A new 2.5 litre V8 designed and developed by Triumph's Harry Webster was later enlarged to 2,997cc. Most Stags were fitted with a Borg Warner automatic gearbox, although manual gearboxes with overdrive were available. Electric windows, power steering and power-assisted brakes were fitted as standard.This example was first registered 5th November 1971. Presented in white with black trim, it features the desirable manual gearbox with overdrive and that unmistakable V8 growl. Owned by our vendor for the past six years, this handsome convertible has benefitted from ample care and attention during his tenure. Works completed include a new hood and frame, carpets and front seats, refurbished body work; specifically, a new wing, arches, sills and a full respray.  Described as a ”œgreat usable Stag”, with matching numbers engine, it also boasts an original 55,000 miles on the clock. Other recent upgrades include a rebuilt suspension including: all new polybush mounts, new clutch, tyres and a new replacement wooden dash. The manual with overdrive gearbox has been reconditioned, and the V8 triumph engine stripped and rebuilt, with the vendor stating that it holds good compression. The SU carburettors have also been refurbished and a new stainless-steel exhaust fitted to complement that fantastic V8 sound. Offered with a good history file, this is a well-priced example of the 70s icon.

1968 Daimler 250 V8 Transmission: Mileage:74126This example of Daimler's 1960s line-up utilised the powerful 2.5 litre, V8 engine made famous in the 250SP. This model range, launched in 1962, was effectively a rebadged Mk. II but the engine was a silky-smooth power plant mated to a standard automatic gearbox. In 1967, it was renamed the V8-250 and differed in relatively small details such as sleek, slimline bumpers and overriders, an alternator instead of a dynamo and twin air cleaners; one for each carburettor. This example of the V8 powered Daimler 250 is presented in possibly the best colour combination of deep navy blue with contrasting biscuit trim.  Fully restored between 2016 and 2019 by Rotaflow engineers, they took the car right back to bare metal, restoring the original bodywork with old fashioned tried and tested hand work skills. The car has been rebuilt to original factory standards maintaining Daimler originality. According to printed photographic documentation and indeed a web page there were no time or budget limits on the project; nothing was rushed and the entire project took over 3000 hours. The engine was stripped, cleaned, de-coked and then carefully re-built. The radiator was sent away to be professionally re-cored and repainted to as new condition. The original Daimler wooden interior was re-veneered and replaced. The interior carpets were beyond repair, so they were completely removed and replaced with a luxury interior carpet. The seats were cleaned and restored and the car re-painted back to its original Daimler colour. The rest of the car that didn't need any engineering was fully removed, restored and refitted with brand new tyres, new bulbs, all fluids drained and re-filled and all fixtures and fittings tightened and re-sealed. We are told no stone was left unturned on this project. Wanting to be both sympathetic to the original car and ensuring the work has been carried out to the highest possible standards,  this is a lovely example of the Daimler 250 V8.

1956 Ford E83W Pick-up Transmission: manualMileage:52000The Ford E83W, also sold under the Fordson brand, was a 10cwt (half ton) light commercial vehicle, built at the United Kingdom's Dagenham plant between 1938 and 1957. They were powered by the 1172cc Ford side valve engine, with a commercial gearbox, and were equipped with a very low ratio differential, making them much slower than the saloons, but giving them far greater torque.Anthony Hoists Ltd was a coachbuilder who specialized in modifying new commercial vehicles for the major motoring manufacturers, they built the steel back bodies for the E83W and others, with the Fords it was listed as a Builders Truck, rather than a pick-up it was certainly much beefier than the standard Ford offering which was made from wood. The E83W was aimed at the small haulage and support vehicle market. Vans were the most common, along with builders' flatbed pick-ups with wooden side and tail boards. The rarest by far is the steel back Side-Step pick-up, with less than 20 known to exist in the world.Offered here is an extremely rare Ford E83W. Acquired by the current vendor in 1997, it has been extensively restored and has been dry stored ever since. In excellent condition the Pick-up looks superb with period correct sign written livery. The Ford has been used for shows and classic car rallies throughout the current tenure. Offered with various sundry invoices, old MoT test certificates and the current UK registration document. Coming to the open market for the first time in over two decades, this wonderful example is offered without reserve and will be huge amounts of fun for the new owner.

1975 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT 1800 Transmission: manualMileage:66Alfa Romeo's Alfetta name is synonymous with the post war 158/159 Grand Prix racing cars that became known as the 'invincible Alfetta' after winning every race entered in 1952. 30 years later, in 1972, Alfa Romeo re-introduced the Alfetta name with the introduction an all new saloon (Berlina); named such as the new car shared the transaxle and de Dion suspension design of the earlier race cars. The front suspension was all new thinking with a complex progressive rate set up which used torsion bars in place of the familiar coil springs of the earlier Giulias and Giuliettas. In 1974 a GT version was offered; designed by the stylist Giorgetto Giugiaro, the new Alfetta GT left little doubt as to the car's ancestry. With the gearbox at the rear coupled with the de Dion design and new front suspension, the Alfetta offered 50/50 weight distribution over both axles, giving the GT extraordinary stability at speed. In 1976, the GT, initially offered with a capacity of 1570cc (1.6 litre), was replaced by the 1779cc (1.8 litre) with the fuel filler-cap now visible, as well as the Alfa Romeo badging written above the number plate.The left hand drive example presented today represents one of the first series with the narrow metal bumpers and an 1800cc engine developing 118hp. It is presented in silver with black interior and comes with its green history book and a Auto Club D'Italia Certificate dated 2011. These Italian sports cars are lively to drive offering typically good handling with their 1800 four-cylinder engine providing ample performance.

1955 Ariel 997 cc Square Four Mark 2 Motorbike. Registration: HDY 539. Mileage: 78,980 - Finished in Deep claret - Only three private owners - All alloy engine with four pipe exhaust, Correct for Hastings 9/54 - 6/55. Purchased by the current owner in 2005 from Andy Tiernan Classics. Originally registered February 1955 and apparently only three private owners as Andy had purchased the bike from the son of the original owner. This is consistent with information in the registration document. As supplied by Ariel to Kings in Hastings, the bike was in sidecar trim and registered as a motorcycle combination. The original colour is not recorded in Ariel records but presumably would have been deep claret as alternative colours were specified when applied to other machines the production run. The first owner used the combination extensively around the south coast of England and further afield. When purchased by the current owner, an Eastbourne Motorcycle Club badge was fitted. There is still an Isle of Man TT Races 1965 badge on the steering damper. The last private owner told the current owner that the bike had been extensively rebuilt in 1975. Experience of the current owner suggests that this was done to a very high standard as the engine gearbox have required only routine attention in seventeen years of ownership. The bike suffered considerable cosmetic damage in an accident in 2018. This has been professionally repaired leaving the bike in excellent rideable condition. It has appeared twice at the Shere Climb giving exhibition runs up the hill. The original rear stand is fitted and an effective side stand has been fitted. Paintwork is good to excellent, the mudguards, fuel and oil tanks looking as new. The seat has been replaced with a new base, foam and the correct coloured cover. It now has solo gearing. It is near original even down to the 6 volt electrical system although there is now an electronic regulator, hidden in the original case. The bike has been completely re-wired using a commercial loom. The SU carburettor was completely rebuilt by Burlen. The lubrication system shows the original 8 pint tank but benefits from a Morgo oil pump and hidden external oil filter. There is also a magnetic sump plug. Brand new tyres are fitted. All cables, chains and rubbers have been replaced. The levers are ball end type (owner preference) but the originals are available. This model year is known to have a design issue with the rear brake. This has now been professionally corrected; purists will note that the rear brake lever arm now points upwards leaving the brake effective whist avoiding the risk of unexpected locking. Ownership of a four pipe Square Four was a childhood ambition, now realised. The owner feels that after seventeen years it is time to move on to other projects.

1967 Morgan Plus 4 Roadster Registration no. Not UK Registered (Taxes Paid) Chassis no. 6463 Engine no. CT75492•Imported from the USA•NOVA document available•Seats recently re-trimmed•Desirable left-hand driveFootnotes:Introduced in 1950, the Standard Vanguard-engined Plus 4 represented a major step forward in the evolution of the Morgan sports car. Although the traditional chassis layout was retained - what else would one expect from Morgan? - the frame underwent extensive alteration, gaining in both wheelbase and track dimensions while being considerably strengthened. The centrally mounted Moss gearbox was carried over from the 4/4. A few years later - in 1953 - Morgan began the process of updating the car's appearance, which culminated in the arrival of the quintessential Morgan look in 1954. One unfortunate consequence of the 2,088cc Vanguard engine's adoption was the fact that it placed the Plus 4 in the over-2-litre class for racing purposes, forcing it to compete against rivals of much larger capacity. As a result, the 1,991cc Triumph TR engine was made available from 1953, this more-powerful option being preferred by most customers. In 1956 the revised TR3 power unit began to be phased in, offering 100bhp and making the Plus 4 'the cheapest 100mph car made in Britain' according to The Motor magazine. Around 1961, Plus 4s began to leave the Malvern factory fitted with the 2,138cc TR4 engine and from 1965 with the 104bhp TR4A unit, the latter cars representing the Triumph-engined Morgan in its ultimate form. This left-hand drive Plus 4 has been imported from the USA and comes with the all-important NOVA document. The vendor advises us that it is a matching-numbers car that has spent most of its life in the dry climate of Arizona. The odometer reading is 58,487 miles, which the vendor believes may be genuine judging from the car's condition. At present the car runs well, but having been laid up for two years requires brake and clutch work and a thorough inspection of the electrics as it has some issues with the indicators, though we are advised these faults are relatively easy to fix on these cars. The Morgan comes complete with a soft-top, which is worn and may need replacing; it also has side windows in good condition. The seats have just been rebuilt and trimmed in black leather. This Morgan is far from being a 'barn find', and with a little 'TLC' could be a great weekend driver.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1909 Daimler Model TB22 Drophead Registration no. H 6779 Chassis no. To be advised Engine no. To be advised•The oldest known complete Knight-engined Daimler•Known ownership history•Formerly part of the Peter Black Car Museum collection•Present ownership since 1995•Offered for restorationFootnotes:Built in 1909 and bodied by Hewers Car Bodies Ltd of Coventry, 'H 6779' is the oldest known complete example of the Knight sleeve valve-engined Daimler, this form of power unit having been first exhibited by the British manufacturer in September 1908. Indeed, Daimler were so impressed by the Knight engine, its quietness in particular, that they dropped all poppet-valve models at the end of 1908. For 1909 it was sleeve valves only, there being three models in the range: a 22hp four-cylinder and two sixes of 33hp and 56hp respectively (although referred to as of 22hp, the TB22 was closer to 23hp by the RAC Rating).A (copy) V5 document records the year of original registration as 1921, this being shortly after the introduction of the Roads Act of 1920, which required local councils to register all vehicles at the time of licensing and to allocate a separate number to each. (Many vehicles, although in existence for several years in some cases, were only registered for the first time after the Act's passing). 'H 6779' is VCC dated as 1909.This car's early history is uncertain (most of Daimler's records were destroyed during the Blitz) but it seems likely that one of its earliest owners was Mr John Sokell of Driffield, East Yorkshire. Mr Sokell died in 1929 and the Daimler was then laid up, remaining off the road until 1952 when it was offered for sale by the Sokell family and purchased by Mr John Douglas Clayton of Brough, East Yorkshire. Mr Clayton used the Daimler on various rallies for the next few years (note the numerous rally plaques on the bulkhead) before ownership passed to Gordon Fussey of Cottingham, East Yorkshire (1958) and then Peter Black (1964). While forming part of the Peter Black Car Museum's collection, the Daimler featured in the Granada Television series, Lost Empires, broadcast between December 1986 and February 1987. The next known owner was Peter Garner of Cambridgeshire (1994-1995), followed by Brian Moore of Cambridgeshire (1995). The late owner acquired 'H 6779' from Brian Moore in September 1995, adding Great Eastern Rally plaques to the car's already sizeable collection. As presented today, the car is essentially a restoration project (the gearbox is not currently installed but comes with it). It is of great rarity, there being only two other examples known, both of which are in Australia and incomplete. This is the only complete TB22 known, and, as one of Daimler's first Knight-engined models, is of some considerable historical significance. All in all, this is a wonderful restoration project that is certain to reward the fortunate next owner with a truly magnificent Edwardian motor car.

1932 Wolseley Hornet Special Sports Coachwork by March Registration no. YY 1713 Chassis no. 12/78 Engine no. 2733/75A•Only six owners in 90 years•Off the road 1976-2017•Restored in 2017•Restoration bills availableFootnotes:Although its image in later years became ever more difficult to distinguish from that of other makes within the British Motor Corporation, in the early 1930s Wolseley occupied the front rank of British sports cars alongside MG, Riley and Frazer Nash. The single model responsible was the Wolseley Hornet. Introduced in 1930, the Hornet saloon deployed Wolseley's overhead-camshaft, six-cylinder engine in a lengthened Morris Minor chassis equipped with hydraulic brakes. Its power-to-weight ratio was exemplary among contemporary 1.3-litre cars, the smooth and flexible six pulling from walking pace to more than 60mph. The model was revised for 1932 with a shortened, chain-driven overhead-cam engine (repositioned further forward to improve cabin space) and a four-speed 'silent third' gearbox. Increased performance was offered by the Hornet Special chassis, which came with 12' brakes and a remote-control gearshift. The Special used the shortened engine equipped with twin-carburettors and an oil cooler, in which form it produced 45bhp, good enough for a top speed, depending on coachwork, of around 75mph. The Special chassis rapidly became that of choice for the multitude of independent coachbuilders already using the Hornet as the basis for a sporting two-seater. The Hornet Special was soon making its mark in competitions, one noteworthy achievement being the victory achieved by a team of three Eustace Watkins Hornets (two E W Daytonas on the Special chassis, one E W International on the standard chassis) in the 1932 relay race at Brooklands at an average speed of 77.57mph. Carrying four-seater tourer coachwork by March, this rare British sports car is understood to have had only six owners over the course of its 90 years. The Hornet had been off the road since 1976 when it was restored in 2017 at a cost of around £18,000. Related bills are on file. Described by the vendor as in good restored condition throughout, the car also comes with all its old logbooks; a current V5C document; some MoT certificates; a selection of photographs; a handbook; and a document of verification from the Wolseley Hornet Club.

1934 Triumph Gloria 10hp Sports Tourer Registration no. AER 492 Chassis no. 42277 Engine no. SS98306•Landmark Triumph sporting car•Developed by Donald Healey•Only four owners from new•Off the road 1968-2014•Restored in 2014Footnotes:Developed by the great Donald Healey, the Gloria, more than any other model, established Triumph's reputation as a builder of fine sporting cars; taking its name – it is said – from one of Selfridge's fashion models, who was photographed with the cars for publicity purposes. Standard-Triumph's managing director, Colonel Claude Holbrook, wanted to move the company away from the small cars that had underpinned its success in the 1920s, aiming to take a slice of the medium-size sporting-car market dominated by Riley. Indeed, ex-Riley employees would be instrumental in the Gloria project, designer Charles Ridley having been recruited from them, as was Donald Healey. Healey was quoted as saying: 'I was attracted by the Gloria project, which seemed better than Riley's own Nine... My first job was cleaning up the Gloria range, which was just about ready for production.' Introduced in 1933, the Gloria employed a conventional cruciform-braced chassis, under-slung at the rear and equipped with all-round 12' hydraulic brakes, on which was mounted low, streamlined coachwork of an elegance not previously associated with the marque. According to Holbrook, the Gloria was 'built to an idea... modern in conception, revealing lines that never before been achieved'. And few would deny that, once it had been 'cleaned up' by Healey, the Gloria was indeed most handsome. The four- and six-cylinder IOE engines were built by Triumph to designs by Coventry Climax, who supplied the raw castings, while the four-speed synchromesh gearbox and spiral bevel rear axle were supplied by ENV. In tuned guise fitted with twin carburettors, the 10hp 1,087cc inlet-over-exhaust four produced 46bhp at 4,600rpm; thus equipped, the Gloria Special Tourer was good for 75mph.This rare British sports car is understood to have had only four owners and had been off the road since 1968 when it was restored in 2014 at a cost of around £12,000. Related bills are on file. Described by the vendor as in good restored condition throughout, the car also comes with old logbooks; a current V5C document; a selection of photographs; instruction manuals; and a document of verification from the Pre-1940 Triumph Club.
