1946 Chevrolet Panel Van LHD Make: Chevrolet Model: Panel VanYear: 1946Mileage: 0VIN: DBA317265Configuration: Left Hand DriveRegistration: 521YUXTransmission: manualThis modified V8-engined Chevrolet Panel Van was declared manufactured in 1946 but was imported from the USA by its previous owners in August 2013, largely as it is today. We believe the engine is a 327cu in unit, although the V5C does record the engine displacement as 3270cc, which we believe is an error. The spec for the van includes a Chevy C10 front clip, T400 automatic gearbox, Chevy Nova rear axle, front disc brakes, front coil suspension, power brakes, power steering, tilt steering column and alloy radiator. The engine runs sweetly, according to the vendor, and there are no gearbox issues. There are also no overheating problems, notes the vendor. Jobs still to be done include the front shock absorbers, wiper motor, tracking adjustment, cab to chassis blocks/bolts, fuel and temperature gauges, speedometer, steering adjustment, and wiring tidying around places such as the indicators. The history folder for the car contains just the current V5C as well as a previous version of the document. PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR VIDEO PRODUCED 6TH JUNE BY ACA OF THIS CAR.

1955 Morris Minor 4 four door saloon car. Reg no ESU 624, SERIES 11, split screen version with overhead valve engine (originally 803ccs, this fitted with 948cc motor.) Manual gearbox , 4 speed red leatherette interior with art deco style dashboard and iconic semaphore indicators. Originally designed by Sir Alec Issigonis and relealsed in 1948, the model went through various versions and stayed in production right through to 1971. Many are still on the road today and they are ideal starter classics. This particular example has been laid up for some years but is believed to run and was enthusiastically used, shown and enjoyed by the previous owner . It has lived a large proportion of its life in Wales and has been in current local ownership since 1989. Last MOT 2018 (exempt with certificate) V5C(W) registration document - some history invoices etc. (B.P. 10%+ VAT) It was running when last used of course, but has stood in a garage for a couple of years. Not run with us.

Fast, attractive, manual six-speed Grand Tourer in a stylish Blue Swaters Metallic over gorgeous tan leather.Produced from 1992 until 2003, the Ferrari 456 and later 456 M are front-engined 'Grand Tourers' in true Ferrari tradition and were an overdue replacement for the outdated, front-engined 412 which had been the company's premium four-seat V12 car for many years. The name '456' refers to the fact that each cylinder displaces 456 cubic centimetres and this was the last Ferrari to use this naming convention. Despite its supercar performance, 436bhp, 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds, and a top speed of 188mph, the 456 has a relatively unstressed engine which has proven to be a very reliable unit. Its looks are smooth and understated, and distinctive external features include a small grille with fog lights on the outside, bonnet-mounted air scoops (removed on the 456M), and pop-up headlights, making this the last Ferrari to do so. The model was warmly received by press and enthusiasts alike, and although not produced in large numbers was always gently in demand by 'silver-haired' Ferrari owners before the 456M was eventually replaced in 2004 by the 612 Scaglietti.Finished in the rare colour combination of Blu Swaters Metallic with tan leather, this front-engine, V12 manual gearbox, Grand Tourer is a very useable example. Initially supplied to European specification, it was imported into the UK in 2017 with an odometer reading of just 95,874km (59,573 miles). In November 2021, it was subject to a comprehensive service at a cost of £8,567 with Ferrari specialists Stradale Italia, and this work included replacing the cambelts, auxiliary drive belt, air-conditioning belt, tensioners, engine oil and filter. It also included spark plugs, brake fluid, wiper blades, air flow meter, headlamp motor, an engine cooling system flush and antifreeze required as a reconditioned radiator had been fitted. The water pump was replaced at the same time together with a refurbished alternator, re-gassed air conditioning and screen washer system.  The 456 was the final Ferrari to offer classic ‘pop-up’ headlamps and overall the Pininfarina-styled coachwork seems to become more attractive as time moves on, subtle and stylish yet still with that timeless Ferrari sense of purpose. The 456 GT is a connoisseur's Ferrari, a gentleman’s express, especially with three pedals, and when the time comes to re-offer this European example, a global left-hand drive market awaits. SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 456 GTYear: 1994Chassis Number: ZFFSD44B000099050Registration Number: L108 UHCTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 36290 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 95872 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: TanClick here for more details and images

Pretty, right-hand drive Dino from long-term ownership.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.This was a very modern car and a real step in Ferrari history announcing a new age for Ferrari in concept and design. Sparkling acceleration and a top speed of 145mph combined with a comfortable interior and some usable boot space meant that it was a genuine 'Grand Touring' car.Finished in Nuovo Giallo Fly Yellow with a Nero interior, this particular Ferrari 246 GT has been with its present owner for some twenty years and as such is fresh to market, a superb and unmolested example that has been cared for as required to keep up to standard at all times. Fitted with the desirable Campagnolo wheels and with the seats having just been retrimmed by Ferrari specialists together with a mechanical inspection just completed, the Dino presents extremely well and, whilst not a Concours contender, no one could argue that it is not extremely pleasing on the eye! It's fitted with electric windows and a period eight-track cartridge player. We are currently awaiting the cars history and, whilst we understand that the indicated mileage of just over 31,000 may well be correct, we can confirm when we have access to the Dino's service records.Total 246 GT right-hand-drive production is believed to have been less than 500 giving this particular Ferrari an air of exclusivity and an ever increasing desirability making this an opportunity not to be missed for the discerning Ferrari collector. Your personal inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate this rare, right-hand drive Prancing Horse.Please note that the registration number '37 TU' shown in the video does not form part of the sale. SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 246 DINO GTYear: 1973Chassis Number: 06744Registration Number: 37 TUTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 31044 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black HideClick here for more details and images

TDF Blue, low mileage, two owners, well optioned and an excellent Ferrari service record. Unmissable.Manufactured from 2004 until 2009, the Ferrari F430 was the successor to the very successful 360M and, according to its creators, was at least 70% new compared with the previous model, itself a ground-breaker. Its aluminium structure was more rigid than the 360's, it had a new engine, a new F1 gearbox, a new differential and a brand-new chassis, and although the styling is obviously reminiscent of the 360M's, in reality, it's pretty much a ground-up design. Largely the work of Pininfarina, although overseen by Ferrari's design chief Frank Stephenson, the F430 still looks fresh today, more crisp-edged than the 360, with a strong hint of Enzo around the surface-erupting tail-lights.Its all-new 4.3-litre V8 engine, with four valves per cylinder instead of the 360's five and chain camshaft drive instead of belts, with a consequent great reduction in service costs, has a variable-valve-timing system lifted straight from the Enzo's V12, dry-sump lubrication, a very high compression ratio (11.3:1), a variable airflow plenum chamber and an enormous electronic brain making the decisions in the form of not one, but two, Bosch Motronic ME7 ECUs. At 483bhp it boasts 21% more power than the 360, exceeding even that of the mighty (and turbocharged) F40, whilst the torque spread is extraordinary for an engine keen to howl beyond 8500rpm. All these factors contribute to a 0-62mph time of just 3.7 seconds and a maximum speed in excess of 196mph.The advancements continued with the Manettino, the steering wheel-mounted selector for stability systems, damping, shift speed and throttle response. And there's the E-diff, whose calibrations this alters, a clever, clutch-controlled active differential that sorts out waywardness, not by inhibiting one rear wheel, but by pouring more torque into the other. Ferrari reckons it's worth three seconds a lap at the Fiorano test track, and it certainly helps make the F430 a far more forgiving machine than the 360, and a car of supremely subtle and keen responses.Our vendor is only the second owner of the this stunning Ferrari 430 F1 Coupe that comes with a full Ferrari main dealer service record and has covered only 22,137 miles. Finished in a striking shade of Tour de France Blue with a superb tan interior, it's accompanied by its factory Vehicle Identification Passport (VIP) photographically recording its route through the production process at Ferrari’s Maranello factory where every Ferrari has been built since 1947. Registered to its first owner in Surrey on 14th September 2006, it has a very impressive service record conducted by Maranello Egham every year from 2007 through to 2017 including two major service routines up to 21,120. In August 2020, it was serviced by Lancaster Ferrari Colchester at an indicated mileage of 22,005 and will be serviced by them again just prior to the auction and will come with a full MOT and its comprehensive history file corroborating the mileage and service history. Presented to auction in truly stunning condition, the time has now come for someone else to enjoy what must surely be one of the finest examples on the market today and, when combined with the low mileage and impeccable maintenance record, this could turn out to be one of your better decisions.

On offer from 35 years of private ownership with over £120,000 spent since 1987. One of just 29 UK-supplied Boxers known to still exist and surely one of the best.By the dawn of the 1970s, it had become clear that Ferrari's front-engined, Daytona replacement would have to position the engine behind the driver in order to remain at the forefront of the supercar market. The Miura was selling well, Maserati had just introduced the mid-engined Bora and even the cut-price De Tomaso Pantera offered an exotic badge and layout for less well-heeled mortals.Despite the fact that replacing the Daytona, long regarded as the ultimate Grand Tourer, seemed an impossible feat, the all-new 365 GT4/BB appeared on the world stage at the 1971 Turin Motor Show and received a rapturous reception. With streamlined, low and extremely aggressive lines, it was the first production Ferrari to be fitted with the boxer-type 12-cylinder engine derived from the F1 unit. The technical approach taken was completely different from that adopted on all other Ferrari models produced so far, and the architecture was not that of the classic front-engined V12s who's longitudinally-mounted engine featured opposing cylinder banks. The two Bs stand for Berlinetta Boxer and the 'Boxer' reference was derived from the fact that the cylinder banks form an angle of 180 degrees, producing an engine with a flat, rectangular shape enabling the cars centre of gravity to be lowered. With the BB, close attention was also paid to the transmission, with the gearbox positioned under the engine next to the oil sump. From a technical standpoint, this solution rendered design and construction considerably more complex and consequently, the gestation period for this model took longer than usual, however, it was definitely worth the wait.Engine displacement was 4400cc, with 380bhp and a top speed of around 180mph and these outstanding levels of performance led the 365 GT4 BB to be crowned the fastest car in the world when it was unveiled. The tubular steel spaceframe chassis was reinforced by the addition of integral steel panels around the cockpit section, making it virtually a 'monocoque' construction and the wedge shape of the nose appears to owe quite a lot to the 1968 Pininfarina P6 concept car. The lower section of the nose featured a full-width aluminium egg-crate radiator grille, from the top edge of which an indent line ran around the body perimeter, visually creating an upper and lower half and rendering it even more streamlined. This separation was emphasised by the two-tone paint: satin black on the lower part, and the chosen body colour on the upper part. The contrast gave the car a super sporty, modern look, pre-empting a trend that is still in vogue today.Between 1973 and 1976, just 387 Boxer 365s were produced with just 88 in right-hand drive and only 58 of those destined for the UK. This fabulous example is one of just 29 that remain taxed/SORN’d in the UK today. Ordered new by Maranello Concessionaires Ltd for their Chairman, Colonel Ronnie Hoare, on 2nd May 1973 to be used as their official demonstrator, the car was specified in Blue Metallic Dino 106-A-72 with a beige interior, as can be seen on the copies of the original invoice and delivery sheets on file. This would appear to be the 40th 365 GT4 BB produced and was the second of the 58 365 GT4 BBs officially delivered to the UK. Naturally, as Maranello’s new model, it featured in numerous magazines including Motoring News on 14th July 1974, Motorsport September in 1974, Autocar on 5th October 1974 and Motorsport in June 1975.Pleasingly, the car’s history file has a detailed summary of its ownership history including when it was bought and sold, to whom and where it was located. It’s believed to have been resprayed in the late 1970s in Rosso Corsa and then been exported to a private individual in Oklahoma in 1983. He subsequently moved to California before moving back to Texas, hence its Texas Certificate of Title dated 1985. They spent $15,000 with Bob Smith Coachworks in Texas before selling the car in 1987 to Roy Fish of Daytona Imports who shipped the car back to the UK and sold it to an individual in Surrey. Having only owned the car for a matter of weeks, the Boxer was sold to our vendor in December of 1987, and it has remained in his care ever since.Passionately owned for 35 years, this matching-numbers Boxer is surely one of the best. The massively detailed lever-arch history file contains every quote and invoice during our vendor’s ownership in addition to detailed history from previous ownership. From invoices within the file, it appears that the car has benefitted from over £120,000 spent with various marque specialists since 1987 including Maranello Concessionaires, Prestige Coachworks and Maranello Surrey, on its maintenance, engine rebuilds and restoration. The Ferrari had covered around 31,000 miles at the time of our vendor’s purchase and the current mileage is still only just over 53,000, however, they feel that they have done everything they want to do with the car including road trips and the occasional hill-climb/timed sprint when their main competition car was in need of work.As mentioned before, the car’s history file is substantial and potential buyers might want to invest an hour or so going through it. We picked out the following:The engine was rebuilt/refreshed by MCL in 1990 at a cost of £7,000During 2006/7, Prestige Restoration carried out a substantial cosmetic and mechanical restoration including new sills with new metal fabricated and welded in, rust work sorted on front and rear clamshells, engine rebuild with all new belts, all of the necessary parts resprayed including the lower half of the car in the correct satin black, the wheels in silver, the engine resprayed in the correct colours, front and rear clamshells and the roofFrom 2010 to 2020, the Boxer was maintained and serviced by NBA Sportscars in Surrey with invoices totalling over £10,000QV London changed the cambelt and performed a major service in 2015 at a cost of £4,149Most recently, marque specialists Rardley Motors Ltd performed an engine out major service in June 2021 including cambelts, auxillary belts and related tensioners as well as general maintenance at a cost of £5,757The file contains every MOT Certificate from our vendors ownership except for 2003 and 2006/2007 when its restoration was being undertaken.The car retains its original under-hood toolbox with original tools and spares, original space-saver spare wheel, original jack bag with jack, original owner's manual fabric case with manual and radio information, and two sets of keys one with the original Ferrari key fob.In generally excellent condition, this UK-supplied, right-hand drive, matching numbers 365 GT4 BB is a fine example of one of the last truly hand-built Ferraris and would be a great addition to any collection of important Ferraris. Succeeded by the heavier, less powerful and more abundant 512 BB, the 365 BB remains the connoisseur's choice with the market continuing to confirm this.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 365 GT4 BBYear: 1974Chassis Number: 17625Registration Number: TNR 595MTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 17625Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 53000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Tan LeatherClick here for more details and images

A UK-supplied manual F355 in striking Giallo Fly Yellow with an enviable service history.The Ferrari F355 is now considered a modern classic, so beautiful, so well-engineered and so well received that it marked the beginning of the end of the old-guard Ferraristi' philosophy that the only ‘real’ Ferraris were ones with 12-cylinder engines. The F355 Berlinetta burst onto the world stage in the Spring of 1994, with the Targa GTS and Spider following in 1995. The new car shared almost exactly the same dimensions as its predecessor, the 348, yet it was virtually a new car, as its flowing coachwork indicated. Many hours of wind tunnel testing influenced the harmonious shape which incorporated an F1-style flat bottom with channelled airflow generating enough downforce to offset any lift.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. In 1994, the Ferrari F355 was a technological tour de force. Around Ferrari's 1.86-mile Fiorano test track, the F355 was two seconds a lap faster than the 12-cylinder, 512 TR and that level of performance, combined with its sensational shape, ensured its success on the world stage.This delightful example is a right-hand drive, UK-supplied, manual gearbox car that was first registered here on 15th August 1997 and is finished in Giallo Fly (yellow) with a Nero (black) leather interior. The current mileage is only 34,974, supported by an excellent service/maintenance history, with our vendor alone (since 2018) spending £24,600, always ensuring it has had annual servicing (including belts), maintaining its splendid condition. Indeed, it has just had a full service and an MOT ready for sale. The car was expertly repainted (in Giallo Fly, its original colour) in 2017 and is accompanied by lots of invoices.The registration numbers 'ELL501T' & 'P1OPK' will not accompany the car.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: F355 SPYDER MANUALYear: 1997Chassis Number: ZFFXR48C000109656Registration Number: TBATransmission: Manual Engine Number: 47161 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 34974 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Nero Click here for more details and images

Competitive F355 Challenge car from long-term storage at a very realistic guide.In 1995, Ferrari introduced a race-ready F355 Challenge model designed for use specifically in the Ferrari Challenge Series. The bespoke model was created by starting with a standard Ferrari F355 Berlinetta and modifying it with a $30,000 factory-to-dealer supplied kit. Initially in 1995, the cars were supplied with factory fitted cage mounts and without carpets, however, each year, the cars arrived with more and more factory fitted race parts, culminating in 1998 with full-evolution cars which were supplied as virtually complete race cars.The factory modifications were more substantial than the 348 Challenge and the engine, gearbox and shock-absorbers were sealed with special tags to prevent unauthorised alterations. The factory fitted modifications included a roll-cage, racing bucket seats, manual radiator fan control and upgraded fans, competition steering wheel, competition clutch, upgraded 14" Brembo brakes (carried over from the F40), solid suspension bushes, competition springs and brake cooling ducts amongst a number of other detail changes from the base car. The F355 'Challenge' shares the same engine and physical dimensions as the original car and 108 cars in total were produced, all with the six-speed manual transmissionOffered here is one of the original factory Ferrari F355 Challenge cars finished in Rosso Corsa. The first owner was Eberhard Jung who competed in the Ferrari F355 Challenge in Europe in 1999. It was sold to Mathias Korff who also competed in the Challenge in 2000 prior to being imported to the UK in 2001 and used in competition by Witt Gamski. It was subsequently purchased by our vendor in 2007 and used by him that year in the Ferrari Open Challenge and prepared by renowned Ferrari Specialist Paul Witts. The Ferrari was then put into long-term storage but has been run since, however, it would be advisable to go through basic recommissioning before a start up.The registration number R1 REH does not accompany the car.Please note- there are two sets of spare wheels and tyres available by separate negotiation.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: F355 CHALLENGEYear: 1998Chassis Number: ZFFXR41BOOO111648Registration Number: T251 LJWTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 28920 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

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.Presented here for auction at the National Ferrari Day in association with the Ferrari Owners Club Great Britain is a beautiful 1973 Dino GTS, chassis number 05880 delivered in March 1973 to GW Perfect, Bucks finished in Blu Dino Metallic with a Pelle Beige interior. The car presents beautifully and remains in its factory colours indicating just 24,277 miles on the speedometer at the time of cataloguing. Importantly, this example is supported by Ferrari Classiche Certificate confirming the matching numbers engine, correct colours and original unrepaired chassis. Offered directly from a significant car collection in Germany, chassis 05880 is accompanied by a history file which includes German registration papers and invoices for maintenance over the years including a full engine rebuild in April 2020 carried out by a highly regarded Ferrari specialist. Records indicate that this beautiful GTS remained in the ownership of GW Perfect from 1973 until 1989, selling to another UK owner before being exported to Germany in 2009.  It's also accompanied by the desirable Classiche 'Red Book, the original Warranty Card, confirmation that the Perspex headlamp covers were fitted from new and the original Bill of Sale from Maranello Concessionaires dated 10/04/1973 for £5,998.52.

In summary, this is a highly desirable, collector-grade, UK-supplied, right-hand drive Dino GTS with a Ferrari Classiche and finished in rarely seen Blu Dino Metallic which perfectly suits its glorious Pininfarina lines. SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: DINO 246 GTS - CLASSICHEYear: 1973Chassis Number: 05880Registration Number: NOT REGISTEREDTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 0010787Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 24277 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Beige

Patently cherished, this right-hand drive, manual gearbox car has been hiding in a private collection and is now ready for a new owner.October 1975, saw the debut at the Paris Motor Show of the most successful shape ever to wear the Cavallino Rampante emblem, the Ferrari 308. Over 20,000 examples of all engine types and sizes were produced from 1975-1989. This new car was constructed on a traditional steel tube chassis, but its beautiful body was firstly manufactured in GRP and then after two years, Scaglietti started making GTBs in steel. The 3-litre, four-cam V8 was more or less unchanged until March 1981 when Bosch fuel injection was added in place of the four double-choke Webers, although the final drive was altered on these cars to give similar acceleration to a carburettor car. Both versions have their supporters, but the 308 is generally accepted as one of Ferrari's all-time greatest road cars and values continue to strengthen.This 308 GTSi was originally delivered to Switzerland and is finished in Rosso Corsa with a cream interior. It is unknown when the car was converted to its current right-hand drive setup. It was first registered in the UK in 1999 and there are service records detailing all the work carried out on the car since then. These records show a total of five cambelt changes since 1999 with the latest being carried out during a major service in August 2015 by Slades Garage when they also fitted a new clutch. This year the car has received further love and attention with a new oil cooler, alternator and wheel bearings fitted along with a health check by Graypaul. The seats were also repaired and tidied up at the same time and the interior now presents very nicely indeed. In early 2000, Woodbridge Classic Cars in Suffolk carried out a speedometer change when the car was showing 58,407km and, since then, the distance covered is shown in miles with 17,300 currently on the odometer, meaning a total of approximately 54,000 miles has been covered by this car since 1981. It was serviced in April 2021 at a cost of just over £1,000 and the MOT is valid until June 2023.The current custodian has had the car in his collection since 2018 and with only 150 miles or so travelled in four years he has decided the time is right to move the 308 on. The appropriate cherished registration number, OIA 308, will remain with the car.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 308 GTSIYear: 1981Chassis Number: ZFFHA02B000035057Registration Number: OIA 308Transmission: ManualEngine Number: F106B00114Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 54000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: CremaClick here for more details and images

A rare Capri, just one owner from new, only 20,262 miles and on offer from a deceased estate.Towards the end of its life, the Ford Capri enjoyed an upswing in interest as more buyers realised that perhaps a front-wheel hot hatch simply wasn't for them, and a V6-engined, rear-wheel drive sporting hatchback might very well do the job. Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering group was entrusted with developing the Capri 2.8 Injection that made its debut at the 1981 Geneva Motor Show. Based at the Research and Engineering centre in Essex, SVE decided to adopt the 2.8-litre V6 with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection - the first regular model since the RS2600 to use fuel injection - plus lowered suspension, thicker anti-roll bars, gas-filled shock absorbers, and wide-rim alloy wheels fitted with Goodyear's 205/60VR NCT tyres. The specification also included a five-speed gearbox, a limited-slip differential (1984 onwards) and ventilated disc brakes for the front wheels. All this translates into a car that goes with 'wonderful eagerness', the Autocar test team enthused after rocketing from 0-60 mph to just 7.9 seconds. The Capri 2.8 Injection breathed new life into the range and kept the car in production two to three years longer than Ford had planned.In 1984, the 2.8 injection model was the subject of a substantial upgrade and was known as the Capri Injection Special. This development used Recaro half-leather seats and included a limited-slip differential. Externally the car could easily be distinguished by the seven-spoke RS wheels and its colour-coded grille and headlamp surround. Packed with performance and character, it paved the way for the superb Capri 280.Offered here is a remarkable example of these rare Capris as it has been owned by one owner from new. It was ordered from new in Rosso Red with a half cloth and Steel Grey leather interior, a very rare combination. Sadly, the owner passed away recently and the car is being offered by his family, having not used it or registered it in the family name since his recent passing.Clearly, the late owner was extremely proud of his special Capri and used it sparingly, more recently just attending the odd car show. At the time of cataloguing, the odometer was reading just 20,262 miles which, having purchased the car in 1986, works out at just 600 miles a year. Naturally, at this mileage and having been looked after by one respectful owner, this rare Ford remains in impressively original condition, remarkable and most likely unrepeatable.It's accompanied by the original bill of sale, books, manuals, service booklet and some original parts. Currently sitting on the original RS wheels there appears to be another set of road wheels included with the car and these will be available to inspect at the auction hall during the sale. Quite simply, we do not know when there will be an opportunity to buy an example of the breed like this again. Silverstone Auctions are storing the Capri for the late owner’s family prior to the sale and we encourage and welcome your earliest inspection.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: CAPRI INJECTION SPECIALYear: 1986Chassis Number: WF0CXXGAECFK45459Registration Number: D736 JKETransmission: ManualEngine Number: 00204TDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 20262 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Half Cloth / Steel Grey Leather Click here for more details and images

A smartly presented, UK-supplied example finished in perhaps the best colour combination and from the final year of production.In terms of the 928, in 1989 Porsche moved the game on with the even more powerful 928 GT, which with a top speed of around 170mph was the Stuttgart firm's fastest production car at that time, before launching the model's ultimate incarnation, the 928 GTS. Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1991, the latter boasted a 5.4-litre engine producing all of 345bhp and automatics were fitted with the much faster responding Dynamic Kickdown gearboxes setting them apart from the previous models. Externally, the GTS differed from the S4 with its new style of alloy wheels, flared rear arches and a body-coloured rear spoiler. What Porsche was not advertising when the 928 GTS was released was the price, which was amongst the most expensive cars on the road at the time. This severely hampered sales despite the model's level of competency and long standard equipment list. Porsche discontinued the GTS in 1995 after selling only 2,904 examples in total, which at the time must have been financially uncomfortable for the company, but in 2022 makes these models exquisitely rare and very desirable.928s finished in gleaming black with a black leather interior tend to have a slightly 'menacing' look and that is certainly the case with this impressive GTS. UK-supplied and first registered on the 26th June 1995, it was finished in Schwartz (741) with a matching black leather interior and benefitted from the latest, Dynamic Kickdown automatic gearbox. Offered to auction having covered just 60,553 miles which is supported by the maintenance history made up of main dealers and Porsche specialists. We understand that the car will be serviced by a noted specialist prior to its delivery to auction.Very few luxury GT cars from the 1990s have been so revered as the Porsche 928 GTS, and today it is rare to find a rival that is without the histrionics of contemporary exotica or the dullness of a mass-produced luxury saloon-derived coupé. It's presented to auction after a £1,500 ceramic coating by Marells of Uckfield, a well stamped service book, handbooks enclosed in its wallet, historic MOT certificates, freshly MOTd and serviced by a Porsche specialist ready for the car’s next adventure.

A rare example (1/56) of the luxuriously trimmed, bespoke Sunbeam Lotus from Avon Coachworks.The Talbot Sunbeam-Lotus was one of the most exciting hot-hatches to emerge from the 1970s. Chrysler commissioned Lotus to produce an effective entrant for international Group 4 rallying - to beat the dominant Ford Escort RSs at their own game. Lotus took a 1.6 GLS shell and installed a 2.2-litre ('Type 911' and closely related to the Type 912 found in the S2 and S3 Esprits) version of their 16-valve four-cylinder engine and a five-speed ZF gearbox. The new Sunbeam-Lotus certainly looked the part - initially offered only in black and silver, with Marchal spotlights and tailored double four-spoke cast-alloy wheels.Launched in 1979, the high-compression 2174cc twin-cam engine breathed through two twin-choke Dell'Orto carburettors, developed 150bhp (but was easily tuneable to well over 200bhp for rally use) and delivered excellent performance, being rear-wheel drive and weighing only 960kgs, giving a 0-60mph time of just 6.6 seconds. Lotus wasn't just an engine supplier, it was also involved in designing the suspension and exhaust system.As soon as it qualified for inclusion in international rally competition, the Sunbeam-Lotus proved extremely effective, finishing 1st, 3rd and 4th at the 1980 Lombard-RAC rally, Britain's round of the World Rally Championship. In 1981, the Sunbeam Lotus brought the entire manufacturer's championship to Talbot.The production process was convoluted and apparently every car made a loss so in early 1982, with only 1,184 right-hand drive examples having been sold, production was discontinued. A number of cars were left unsold and there were interested commercial buyers for the remaining stock, however, the best known was probably the Ladbroke Avon Coachworks concern who took 56 of them with the intention of offering a specially-trimmed ‘limited-edition’, individually numbered, at a price which was actually lower than the quoted final retail figure for the basic car!The Avon cars were re-painted in pale blue, complemented by double bands of deep metallic blue running the full length of the car. The bumpers and front spoiler were finished to match, while the normally black grille was ‘colour keyed’ in pale blue. Adding to the exclusive luxury aura, a full length vinyl roof was an option in contrasting blue, plus a Britax tinted, tilting sunroof. Red coach lines ran above and below the side stripes and the exterior appearance was set off by a pair of original yellow and green Lotus badges. Inside, the Avon Sunbeam Lotus had also been improved considerably, the standard trim replaced and the car fully soundproofed. The interior was then retrimmed with high quality blue carpet, contrasting blue velour and leatherette trim with red piping on the seats, padded door caps and a specially trimmed console.Offered here is one of the final production-run cars and it’s even rarer as one of the Ladbroke Avon Editions. Well known in Sunbeam Lotus circles, this example presents in great condition and carries a Ladbroke chassis plate. Owned by our vendor since 2016, it’s had six previous enthusiast owners and has spent time in the favourable Tenerife climate as part of an ex-pats collection. It seems at some stage that the external Avon livery was changed to reflect the more mainstream Lotus colours of the period, however, it might make sense for the next owner to revert back to the Avon scheme as they do represent quite a premium over the standard Sunbeam Lotus. The interior is pure Avon. It’s said to drive really well by our vendor, probably commensurate with the low mileage of only 55,000. In the event, Avon only finished a couple of dozen and a lot of those will have disappeared over the years so this is now a very rare car.SpecificationMake: TALBOTModel: SUNBEAMYear: 1983Chassis Number: T4DCYBL425413Registration Number: A178 KTTTransmission: ManualEngine Number: T4DCYBL425413Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 55030 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Blue VelourClick here for more details and images

This multiple Concours d'Elegance-winning XK150S is in simply stunning condition. A progressive development of the sensational XK120 and XK140, the XK150 retained the same basic chassis, 3.4-litre engine and four-speed Moss transmission of its predecessors but, partly due to the growing US demand for more comfortable and refined sports cars, benefitted from an entirely new body providing increased interior space and improved visibility courtesy of a single-piece wrap-around windscreen. A higher front wing line and broader radiator grille were other obvious differences but the new model's main talking point was its Dunlop disc brakes; at last the XK had stopping power to match its prodigious straight-line speed. Introduced in the spring of 1957, the XK150 was available at first only in Fixed and Drophead Coupé forms, the open roadster (OTS) version not appearing until the following year. At 190bhp, the engine's maximum power output was identical to that of the XK140, so performance was little changed, but ‘Special Equipment' and 'S' versions offered 210 and 250bhp respectively, the latter delivering an astonishing 0-60mph time of 7.3 seconds and a top speed of 136mph. This improvement in performance resulted from the adoption of a Weslake-developed, straight-port cylinder head, high-compression pistons, triple 2” SU carburettors and twin electric fuel pumps. Overdrive and a Borg-Warner automatic gearbox were the transmission options, the latter becoming an increasingly popular choice, whilst a Thornton ‘Power-Lok’ limited-slip differential was available for the 150S. Steel wheels remained the standard fitting although XK150s so equipped are a great rarity as most were sold in SE (Special Equipment) form with centre-lock wire wheels. The much-admired chromed Jaguar Mascot was made available as an optional extra on an XK for the first time.In the early months of production, the vast majority of XK150S 3.4-litre Roadsters were headed for the USA in order to fulfil bulging order books, as is the case with T832078DN, on offer here. Its Heritage Certificate confirms that it was built in left-hand drive, fitted with a manual gearbox with overdrive and finished in Gloss Black with a red leather interior prior to being shipped in April 1959 to Jaguar Cars, New York and onwards to its first American owner.We imagine that the Jaguar led an exciting life for the following 34 years and next reappeared in 1993 when it was imported into Australia by Sydney Businessman, Mark Hayward, who was looking for a sound car that he could restore with the clear intention of winning multiple Concours in Australia.The comprehensive history file and photographic record of the restoration show exactly the extent and level of resource ploughed into this stunning XK150S Roadster with costs of around £100,000 at the time (c.£300,000 in today's terms). UK-based, XK Engineering were involved in the procurement and shipping of parts and there are reams of invoices and correspondence with everyone involved from Abbott Australasia PTY.LTD., O&S Sports Car Restorations and Gavin King’s 'Concours Sportscars Restorations'. All concerned were made aware that only the best would do and the exacting restoration and conversion to right-hand drive took until Easter 1994 to complete. The fact that the car still remains capable of Concours success, is testament to the standard achieved. There followed years of involvement in National Concours d'Elegance competitions attaining many 'Outright Winner' placings including a number of 100 Point scores (Perfect) suggesting that the Jaguar was rated as amongst the finest examples of the marque to be viewed anywhere in the world. T832078DN returned to England in 2013 and was purchased by our vendor, an XK enthusiast who was looking for a special example that presented well but was enjoyable to drive on Tours and long trips. During his ownership he has competed in various events which included the 2013 Arctic Circle, the 2016 Targa Florio and the Three Castles Welsh Classic Trial. The brief to his engine builder was to build a totally reliable engine to do these events with the work entrusted in 2013 to Steven James Engineering and Martin Hunniball specialist machining. The result of the full rebuild of the matching numbers engine today is still perfect oil pressure and lusty clean performance. It's now time for a new owner to enjoy this very special, well-historied XK150S Roadster and, at this this guide, it must surely be irresistible.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XK150 SYear: 1959Chassis Number: T832078DNRegistration Number: OSL 889Transmission: Manual/ ODEngine Number: VS1978-9Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 78840 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: RedClick here for more details and images

An iron fist in a velvet glove’ Restored, manual, UK-delivered and numbers-matchingHand-built at Aston Martin’s Newport Pagnell factory, each Aston Martin V8 took in the region of 1,200 man-hours to complete, with each car inspected rigorously to ensure the continued upkeep of AM’s legendary build quality and reputation.The Aston Martin V8 (later known as the AMV8) was introduced in 1969 to replace the ageing DB6, with the brief being to create a handsome, powerful GT car, powered by Tadek Marek’s V8 engine, and remained atop the company’s model range until its retirement in 1989.Initially, the V8 was equipped with a Bosch fuel injection system for the first two models (known as the V8 and AMV8, respectively) though the Series 3 models - such as the one we have here - switched back to a carburettor setup, with four twin-choke Weber carburettors providing fuel for the V8 engine, with these cars being instantly recognisable due to the bulge in the bonnet to accommodate the additional height of the carbs.Allegedly, this change was due to stricter CA emissions affecting model sales and legislation, though rumour has it that the change was implemented due to ongoing difficulties with the Bosch injection system. Of course, tightening emissions controls and the switch from injection to carburettor-fed fuelling resulted in a slight drop in performance, with the Series 3 rated at 288bhp, though a ‘Stage 1’ pack boosted this to 305bhp, thanks to a re-profiled camshaft and enlarged exhausts.Production of the Series 3 models was carried out between 1973 and October 1978, though no examples were built during the entirety of 1975. As a result, only 967 examples were produced before the Series 4 ‘Oscar India’ models were introduced in October 1978. UK-supplied, this 1974-registered Series 3, manual gearbox car was delivered new by Charles Hurst Aston Martin of Belfast, as one of those 967 Series 3 examples..From the factory, this was a handsomely-specified example, featuring numerous desirable additions to its factory specification list, including the following options:Electric sunroofHeadlamp wipersBumper over-ridersSide market lightsRear fog lightsAir-conditioningLockable centre arm-restIn 1986, whilst in the hands of one of the early owners - a Mr Robinson of Leicestershire - the car was given a full-body respray from its factory Imperial Blue to a metallic green colour, in which it remained until 2017. The car changed hands twice between 2000 and 2017, with the owners continuing Mr Robinson’s cherished ownership and regular maintenance, with an extensive history folder, including 22 stamps from Kensington-based specialist Ian Mason and supporting the cherished ownership of the car during this era. In 2017, the car passed to a Mr Hammond, who not only set about addressing the numerous wear-and-tear issues gained over years of enjoyment, but also commissioned a bare-metal respray back to its original Imperial Blue along with a re-trim of the original Cream interior to the tune of c. £8,000 along with other works such as re-chromed bumpers, new window and door rubbers, a new windscreen, refurbishment of the alloy wheels and a programme of rustproofing to ensure this S3’s continued survival.In the years since, this wonderful V8 has been continually cosseted and cherished by DM Historics, and presents in outstanding condition throughout, with no signs of any major wear to the paint or bodywork, a near-pristine interior and a history file that would make any enthusiast hot-under-the-collar. A true gem of a Series 3 V8, with a rare manual gearbox, matching-numbers and restored to the highest standards irrespective of cost by its history of dedicated and enthusiastic owners, this is an opportunity not to be missed by any Aston Martin V8 enthusiast or collector.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: V8Year: 1974Chassis Number: V8/11123/RCARegistration Number: BVU 476NTransmission: ManualEngine Number: V5401123Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: CreamClick here for more details and images

Beautiful 'First Edition' Plus Six in the Moonstone Blue launch colour with only 1,325 miles.The Morgan Motor Company’s arrival in the 21st Century was signalled by its first new model in 19 years, the Plus Six and the fact that they were now taking themselves very seriously was the model’s first public appearance at the Geneva Motor Show in 2019 and not in the ballroom at the Abbey Hotel in Malvern as had been the case with previous new car launches. It may look like any other Morgan, but looks can be deceptive. After 110 years of production, Morgan have completely transformed the car without changing the classic traditional look, in fact the only part this car shares with previous models is the bonnet catch. Underneath that classically styled bodywork lies Morgan’s new CX chassis, only the fourth new platform in Morgan’s 110 year history. (CX is 110 in Roman numerals). The CX-Generation aluminium bonded platform has been designed and developed for use in Morgan’s future high-performance models and features a 100% increase in torsional rigidity over the previous aluminium platform as well as being considerably lighter weighing-in at less than 100kg. In a nod to traditionalists, Morgan’s century-long association with wood continues with an Ash frame surrounding the cockpit with is designed to increase stiffness in that area.Snugly fitted underneath the Plus Six’s hand–rolled and hand punched aluminium bonnet is a 2,998cc, 24 valve, turbo-charged, straight-six cylinder power unit from BMW offering 335bhp @ 5,000rpm and 369lb.ft of torque @ 1,600rpm and coupled to an 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox. This is the same engine that was fitted to the BMW Z4 and Toyota’s Supra at the time of the Plus Six’s launch in 2019, both cars admired for their sparkling performance. This was the first time that Morgan had fitted a straight-six and also their first foray into turbo-charging and the results were impressive with 0-62mph in 4.2 seconds on the way up to 166mph.As a result of the new underpinnings there’s a 20mm extension in the wheelbase, 200mm more leg room and an 80mm wider cockpit. As always there is no ‘proper’ boot, but the CX chassis allows for a much deeper rear parcel shelf behind the seats for your overnight bags and umbrellas. The Plus Six featured a new suspension set-up with a double-wishbone MacPherson-strut derived system at the front with a four-link set up at the rear. The Plus Six also benefited from a set of newly designed 19-inch multi-spoke wheels and electromechanical power-steering. Four models were offered initially with two versions known as the Plus Six First Edition in a choice of Emerald Green or Moonstone Blue.The First Edition on offer here dates from 2020 and is presented in Moonstone Blue with a dark blue soft-grain leather, Dark Grey box-weave carpets and 19-inch Frost Grey Alloys. It was optioned from new with air-conditioning, heated seats, Kenwood audio system, paint protection film, puddle lights, side-screen bags, a luggage rack, Cibie driving/spot lamps and a sports exhaust system - we understand that the final purchase price was just short of £90,000.Our vendor, the car's only owner from new, has recently found himself unable to truly enjoy the Morgan he had waited so long to own. He has reached a stage where jumping in and out is no longer possible and so he regretfully is offering it for sale so that someone else may enjoy it rather than it sitting around waiting. It’s covered a total of 1,324 miles, is in commensurate condition and will be accompanied by all the usual dealer paperwork, manuals and warranties etc. This is a thoroughly modern Morgan that will stand the test of time and being offered at a very, very generous guide, is bound to attract some serious interest.

One of 83 examples of AC's pretty, Bristol-engined 2+2 Greyhound, sympathetically restored by our vendor and now ready for the next sixty years.When the last 2-litre saloon left the Thames Ditton factory in 1958, AC were left without a car that offered more than two seats. In response to what was perceived as customer demand, as well as encouragement from Hubert Patthey, the racing driver and Swiss AC importer, work began under the direction of AC’s Chief Engineer, Alan Turner, on a 4-seat GT Coupé, the Greyhound. The first prototype was given an airing, as well as its competition debut, at an AC and Lagonda Owners Club Sprint at Brand Hatch, which was quickly followed by the first production car making its appearance at the London Motor Show in October 1959. Sitting on an extended version of the Aceca’s steel ladder frame chassis, allowing space for an additional row of two seats behind the driver and front passenger as well as a decent sized boot, the Greyhound was clothed in an attractive alloy body not dissimilar to Aston Martin’s recently introduced DB4. The interior of the car was well appointed, with leather seats front and back, full carpeting throughout, ample instrumentation, and good headroom for all occupants.Most cars in the late 1950s still relied on live rear axles, leaf springs, and four-wheel drum brakes, however, the Greyhound offered a more modern approach with fully independent front and rear suspension on coil springs, rack and pinion steering and disc brakes on the front. In common with the Ace and Aceca, Greyhound customers were offered a choice of four engines and the all straight-six line-up included AC’s own 1,991cc 75bhp unit; the BMW-derived Bristol OHV engine in 125bhp 1,971cc and 2,216cc 105bhp form; and the 2,553cc Ford Zephyr engine which was capable of producing up to 170bhp when tuned by Ruddspeed. Whilst the Zephyr engine was the most powerful, purists rightful preference was always the smooth and 'revvy' Bristol powerplants as the noise, balance and feel was perfect for the Greyhound’s GT aspirations when combined with a four-speed manual gearbox and the optional overdrive.This remarkable, matching-numbers, 2.0-litre straight-six, Bristol-engined Greyhound has a lovely back story having been discovered and uncovered in our vendor’s late father-in-law’s garage under 45 year’s worth of clutter and dust. Purchased new in 1960, the car was used as a daily driver including visits to UK circuits where its owner used to race Aston Martins at club level. With the arrival of his new car in 1978, the AC was moved to the garage where it was to remain under an increasing quantity of boxes etc. until dug out by our vendor prior to commencing a sympathetic restoration. He planned to carry out most of the restoration himself using as many original parts as possible and given that the car was less than 18 years old and had covered just over 43,000 miles when it was put into storage, much of it was in sound condition. Invoices within the history file include one for c.£21,000 with historic racing engine specialist Ian Nuttall (IN Racing) for a full engine rebuild including modifying the engine to run on unleaded fuel.150 SPF was originally finished in AC ‘Rosso Chiarro’, however, small volume manufacturers used paint from wherever source they could find at the time and the exact code was not available so the car has been finished as close as possible to the original shade and now benefits from several coats of Red which retains a deep shine and looks fabulous. There are photos with the car covering various aspects of the restoration. The original bumpers have been re-chromed and are ready to be fitted but are currently off as to our vendor prefers the smoother bumperless styling. Pleasingly, much of the interior appears to have been refitted and the seating, headlining, dashboard, steering wheel and gear lever display a light patination from use by 150 SPF’s long-term owner, however, the red carpets are new. It’s the perfect combination for a sporting classic, a gleaming exterior and smart engine bay with a few little areas that show that the AC has lived a life.Happily, the car has a full history including old tax discs, old invoices (which help support the indicated mileage of 43,625), its original tool kit in the spare wheel well, original owners handbooks and manuals from when it was bought new until it was parked up in 1978. The restoration was completed in early 2022 and we understand from our vendor that “the engine is running well and the car is a delight to drive". This has got to be one of, if not the finest example of a Greyhound to come to market recently and with prices of the Ace and Aceca having soared in recent years, we can’t help feeling that the Greyhound is somewhat undervalued by comparison. With the striking looks of a DB4, 75% of the performance, 10 times rarer, yet only 20% of the cost, it looks remarkable value at today’s guide price. SpecificationMake: ACModel: GREYHOUNDYear: 1960Chassis Number: BEF2506Registration Number: 150 SPFTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 100D21088Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 43615 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Cream LeatherClick here for more details and images

Finished in brilliant Bianco, this supremely elegant 3500GT Spyder is one of only 242 ever built.The 1950s had proved very successful for Maserati in both sports car and Grand Prix racing and in 1957 the Italian sports car manufacturer announced an exciting new road car called the 3500GT. The rakish new car was styled by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan and featured their new hallmark 'Superleggera' body construction which consisted of lightweight aluminium body panels supported underneath by thin steel tubing that followed the general shape of the car. The engine was a road-going version of the competition 300/350S motor, a double overhead-camshaft straight-six unit with two spark plugs per cylinder, fuelled by a set of triple side-draft Weber carburettors with Lucas fuel injection as an option later in the model's production. Many chose the fuel-injected engine when new but as the technology was in its infancy a great number of 3500 GT engines were converted retrospectively to Weber carburettors. Factory original Weber-engined cars are therefore very rare.Presented at the 1957 Geneva Motor Show, the 3500GT was an instant hit and it wasn't long before Maserati realised there could be a great demand for an open top version. Carrozerria Frua had built a Spyder prototype on an early 3500GT chassis in 1957 and Carrozzeria Touring constructed two open-top versions, however, it was Carrozzeria Vignale who were sanctioned to produce the car for Maserati in 1959. Interestingly the Spyder didn't feature Touring's 'Superleggera' construction but was built with a steel body with an aluminium bonnet and boot lid. The wheelbase was shortened and front disc brakes and a limited-slip differential were options in 1959 and became standard equipment from 1960 onward with rear brake discs introduced as standard equipment in 1962.According to its Certificate of Authenticity issued by the Maserati Classiche programme, AM101*1375* was delivered on 13 April 1962 to the Swiss Maserati agent in Chiasso, just over the Italian border. Official concessionaire Martinello & Sonvico had specified the car in a stylish and very period combination of Biancospino (white) with a Pelle Blu Connolly interior and a matching blue hardtop. Examination of the Certificate confirms that this lovely Spyder remains ‘matching numbers’ and still retains its correct S5.17 ZF five-speed gearbox and Borrani steel/alloy disc wheels.The car's first owner was a Mr E Kendrick of 64 Century House, London, who chose to have the expensive and exotic car registered in Geneva, not unusual in the days of currency controls and punitive UK Taxes. Records accompanying '1375' show it to have been sold for 50,000 French francs by M. A Mezzo of St Vaast, Normandy to Yannick Le Prevost of Saint-Omer - both French citizens - on 18th March 1982. On 27 April 2002, another Frenchman, M. Gerard Fasseux, purchased the Maserati from Le Prevost, now living in Arques, and he in turn sold it to an Italian enthusiast, Sig. Massara, some 18 months later.With his new acquisition now in Milan, he entrusted Modenese Maserati expert Franco Tralli with a €65,000 programme of thorough, but mild and sympathetic recommissioning. All bodywork matters were left to another recognised marque and model specialist, Mario Galbiati. Within the substantial history file, there is a quote for Sig. Massara from Auto Sport dated 7/11/03 to the value of €47,730 covering the bodywork (side members, internal side members, floor, rear cross member, boot interior and doors etc.) and the car fully prepared and painted in its original Biancospino. The intention was always to maintain the wonderful originality of '1375', avoiding a US-style restoration with new, out-of-character leathers and period incorrect paint finishes. The interior is still the original, almost impossible to replicate, Connolly blue hide and even the luggage compartment is in period condition. All necessary mechanical work was completed to such a level of detail that when the engine was stripped down it was found that the original pistons were in excellent order, so were retained, modern replacements being of an inferior standard. Various stickers (on the wheels, for example) are as applied in 1962. Purchased by our London-based vendor in 2015 and initially UK-registered as 169 UYN, it was exported to Germany in 2019 in order that he could enjoy it when he was on business in Munich. Although now registered in Germany, and enjoying free movement within the EU, '1375' will be present at the Sywell sale. Should the car remain in the UK low rate import duty of 5% will be payable on the successful purchase price.Used lightly and well maintained since its recommission, the car remains in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition and is one of the last 'unmolested' Vignale Spyders retaining that lovely 'original' feel. It's accompanied by an Owner's file which contains lots of early correspondence, bills of sale, German registration details, certificates, memberships, photographs of the 2003 recommission and a workshop manual. Naturally, most of this is in Italian. The Maserati Classiche report is not currently with the car.To conclude, therefore, we believe that the Maserati 3500 GT Spyder offers incredible value today against the car's in-period rival, the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder, recent sales of which have topped $20,000,000. As one of the prettiest Maseratis ever produced, this car deserves serious consideration and we welcome any inspection.  SpecificationMake: MASERATIModel: 3500 GTI VIGNALE SPYDERYear: 1962Chassis Number: 1011375Registration Number: TO BE REGISTEREDTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 1011375Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 20090 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: Pelle Blue LeatherClick here for more details and images

Nothing tops a Guards Red 911 from the '80s with relatively low mileage, low ownership and presented in fabulous order.Offered here is a lovely 3.2 Carrera Sport supplied new to the UK (C-16) by AFN, Guildford and first registered in the summer of 1986. Finished in classic 911 colours with Guards Red paintwork and black, piped red sports seats and optioned from new with impact bumpers, passenger mirror, a Blaupunkt Toronto SQR 24 cassette-radio, central locking, electric adjustable sports seats, 16-inch Fuchs forged-alloy wheels, front 6-inch with 205/55, rear 7-inch with 225/50 tyres, and a rear window wiper.Today, this wonderful example shows just 65,425 miles and presents beautifully, the Guards Red paintwork is even across the car and retains a deep gloss, the interior is clean and shows very little signs of wear, only that to be expected on a 36-year-old Porsche with relatively low mileage. A clean HPI check shows just two previous owners, no recorded damage and no outstanding finance. The service history is comprehensive and the car is accompanied by its history file which includes the original service book stamped up-to-date with the most recent maintenance completed by a highly regarded classic Porsche specialist dated August 21 with an engine and gearbox service. Also within the file, is a current V5C ready for transfer or export, the current MOT Certificate valid until September 2022, old MOTs and other supporting invoices.These, well-built 911s from the ‘80s offer a great classic car ownership experience being quick enough and good fun to drive, comfortable with a well-finished interior, great looking with classic Porsche lines and iconic features, relatively straightforward to maintain with regional good specialist workshops and financially not too perilous as values appear to continue upwards for the right cars. Excellent examples rarely come to market and a Coupé, in great colours, with low ownership and a complete history, really does tick all the boxes. SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 CARRERA SPORT COUPÉYear: 1986Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ91ZGS103656Registration Number: D516 WPDTransmission: manualEngine Number: 63G05802 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 65361 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

One of only 51, UK-supplied M3 Sport Evolutions, two owners, a full history and superbly presented.Offered here is 1 of 51 E30 M3 2.5-litre Sport Evolutions supplied new to the UK and first registered in June 1991 finished in Brilliant Red with a Sport Evolution cloth interior, sunshine roof and rear head restraints. In 1996, after five years of enjoyment, the car was sold to our vendor, a BMW franchise owner and a good friend of the original owner, with just 29,000 miles covered. It has now covered just 65,000 miles and has been dry stored correctly under a fitted cover in a heated garage when not in use.The condition of this beautifully preserved example can only be described as excellent and, we are informed by our vendor, that there have been no accident repairs ever and the car drives exactly as you would expect with relatively little use. The paperwork history is complete, accompanied by the original BMW book-pack with original service book stamped up-to-date and supported by invoices showing that this M3 has been regularly and correctly maintained by a combination of BMW main dealers and AC Schnitzer UK distributor. A wealth of old MOTs also support the low mileage and the current MOT has no advisories and is valid until August 2022. The registration number, H9 REB, assigned to the car from new, is included in the sale and a current V5C is present in the file ready for export or transfer. Currently fitted with a period 360mm AC Schnitzer steering wheel and suspension, with original items forming part of the sale. Importantly, there is BMW correspondence in the file confirming that chassis no. AC79449 is one of the original 600 Sport Evolutions manufactured by BMW and 1 of 51 supplied new to the UK.These are rare cars and in the interests of accuracy we thought we would quote from the official BMW M Registry."The E30 M3 Sport Evolution, produced in an edition of 600 during late 1989 and early 1990, was the most extensively modified of the three E30 M3 Evolution editions. The cylinder bore was increased to 95mm (from 84mm) and a long-stroke crank was added to boost displacement to 2,467cc (from 2,305). In addition, the valves were enlarged and a more aggressive cam was fitted. Special nozzles sprayed oil under the pistons to keep them cool. All Sport Evolution motors were equipped with catalysts. The end result was a power increase to 238 hp at 7,000 rpm, though peak torque decreased slightly (over the Evolution II) to 177 lb.ft at 4,750 rpm. These engines use the regular black cam cover but have red spark plug wires. The gearbox remained unchanged but the 3.15:1 final drive was fitted. Like the Evolution II, the Sport Evolution has thinner glass, a lighter trunk and bumpers, and brake cooling ducts in place of fog lights. In addition, it also has a smaller fuel tank. For homologation purposes, the Sport Evolution has unique front and rear spoilers with adjustable extensions for greater downforce, even wider front fenders, and reprofiled grille slats with sealed gaps for better aerodynamics, all of which have negligible effect on the street. The M3 Sport Evolution also sits 10mm lower than the normal E30 M3."This is a rare and special car, the final evolution of the E30 M3 with known history, low mileage and low ownership. It could be many years before another opportunity such as this presents itself. SpecificationMake: BMWModel: E30 M3 SPORT EVOLUTIONYear: 1991Chassis Number: WBSAK070X0AC79449Registration Number: H9 REBTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 60034771 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 65000 MilesMake: Only LHDInterior Colour: Grey Click here for more details and images

In production for less than two years, with just over 1,000 in RHD, these are very rare cars.Introduced in September 1975 for the 1976 model year with production only running until 1977, the interesting Carrera 3.0 is rightly regarded as somewhat of a special and rare model amongst the impact-bumper era, 911 model range. Following on after the MFI-engined Carrera 2.7, the 3.0 Carrera heralded the adoption of the newly developed Bosch K-Jetronic CIS fuel injection engine. This torque-rich, smooth and free-revving 3.0-litre engine, with a distinctive "cam' effect from 4,000rpm, produced 200 bhp and was effectively a naturally aspirated version of the 930 Turbo's drivetrain (using the same die-cast aluminium crankcase and gearbox housing for durability).Although having slightly less power than the outgoing Carrera 2.7, it had considerably more torque (188 lb.ft at 4,200 rpm) and with its new fuel injection system was one of the earliest Porsches to return economical fuel consumption figures without a significant performance loss. The Carrera 3.0 was able to accelerate from 0-60 mph and 0-100 mph in almost identical times to the original 2.7 RS and 2.7 Carrera. This respectable performance was aided further by the relatively light weight (1,093 kg) of the 3.0 Carrera compared to its successors. It is almost 6% lighter than the SC (1,160kg), almost 10% lighter than the 3.2 (1,210kg) and surprisingly, also weighs less than the later (1987-1989) stripped-down Carrera 3.2 Club Sport (1,170kg). During its short two-year life span, only 3,687 cars were built - a tiny amount compared to nearly 58,000 911 SCs and 76,500 3.2 Carreras produced. Of these, 2,564 were Coupés and 1,123 were Targas with only around 1,064 Coupés being manufactured in right-hand drive. Very few RHD cars reached the UK, and with just a two year production run, only 121 Carrera 3.0 Coupés (combined "Sport' and "Comfort' versions) are verified by their chassis numbers with the Porsche Club GB.Finished in Grand Prix White, this largely original Porsche 911 3.0 Carrera is in excellent condition throughout and is instantly recognisable by the Carrera side script and Fuchs alloys, a true 1970s poster car if ever there was one. It has an interesting past having been owned at one time by Keith Ripp, accessory brand creator of Rippspeed and renowned Rallycross driver and also featured in the ‘Original’ series of books, ‘Porsche 911 - The Restorers Guide to all Production Models 1963 – 93’ by Peter Morgan. A largely original example, it has formed part of a small private collection in recent years with little use during that time but has been maintained as required and will be presented at the sale with a recent service and a fresh MOT Certificate. With a limited production run of just two years, only 1,064 RHD Coupés rolled off the production line with few known to be still in existence today giving this particular example an air of exclusivity, ticking the rarity box within Porsche circles, meaning that this is most certainly one for the collector or 911 fanatic. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 3.0 CARRERAYear: 1977Chassis Number: 9117600371Registration Number: UNM 750RTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 6670507Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 116150 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

This meticulously maintained DB7 Vantage has covered just 56,500 miles from new and is presented in beautiful cosmetic condition with excellent mechanicals.Aston Martin introduced the long-awaited Vantage version of their successful DB7 in 1999. Sporting a Cosworth-designed, 5.9-litre V12 producing 420bhp, the car was super-quick and was electronically limited to 185mph. The V12 had a serious appetite for air compared to its 6-cylinder predecessor, demanding a larger intake and other modifications to the frontal airflow were made to aid cooling. Other changes included chassis and braking upgrades to cope with the increased performance, and Ian Callum enlarged the grille, added fog lamps, and restyled the valances to give the car a more purposeful look.This fabulous DB7 Vantage is finished in Pentland Green with a classic Aston interior in Forest and Fawn leather. DB7s look good in most colours (apart from perhaps, Primrose) but the deep Pentland Green and the understated interior just suggest good taste. It was optioned from new with electrically operated heated front seats, electric mirrors, Alcantara headlining, a Parrot premium sound system with Bluetooth connectivity, rear parking sensors, heated front screen, air conditioning, 5-speed automatic gearbox with a 'Sports' function, traction control, embossed AM 'Wing' logos to front seats and burr oak details. In contrast to all this luxury, the bright red starter button and 18-inch alloys and black callipers pay a respectful nod to Aston's long sporting heritage.The original book pack appears as cared for as the rest of the car and the comprehensive service records have been stamped at the following mileages; 1, 8, 12, 17, 21, 23, 25, 32, 39, 42, 45, 48, 50, 51 and 54,000 miles, effectively once per annum. The Vantage was purchased by our vendor's late father in June 2016 and has only covered around 2,500 miles since then. During that period it's been looked after by Aston specialist, Andy Lee of Sandbach, Cheshire and remains in simply splendid condition, running and driving as you might expect from the car's history and level of care. The current indicated mileage is 56,463 and the MOT is valid until 1/05/2023.The expression "No expense spared" can properly be applied in the case of this lovely DB7 and your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to truly appreciate this exceptional motor car. SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB7 VANTAGEYear: 2001Chassis Number: SCFAB12381K301392Registration Number: X424 VWXTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: AM2/01431 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 56463 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: LeatherClick here for more details and images

Just over 8,000 miles, single ownership and finished in Performance Blue, this top spec Lux Pack 2 RS has a full service history and is in fabulous condition.Ford has been a major player in motorsport ever since they blasted onto the scene with the iconic GT40 that shook the racing world in the 60s. Since then, they have focussed their abilities on countless factions of motorsport including the BTCC, endurance racing at Le Mans and of course, the World Rally Championship. This racing pedigree is exceptionally strong which has steadily built a well-earned following, and their ability to translate their motorsport genius into their road cars has been crafted over the years, culminating in some impressive motorsport-derived examples such as the Sierra RS Cosworth, Escort Cosworth, and in more recent times, the Focus RS. When the Mk1 Focus RS was released, it was met with a mixed reception from those who drove them. The unanimous decision was that the torque-steer was very aggressive, the ride was harsh and with over 200bhp going to the front wheels only, unlike its 4 wheel drive rivals, the Impreza and the Evo, it didn’t seem to hit the spot at that moment in time. However, the Mk1 aged very well and is now seen as the modern classic that populates the majority of ‘appreciating modern classics’ lists.As a result of the ‘interesting’ launch of the Mk1 Focus RS, the decision was made to never build another Focus RS. Thankfully, Ford went back on their word and the second generation Focus RS was released in 2009. The car they built was a limited run, 300bhp 'super-hatch' and they did not hold back one bit. With its huge twin-blade spoiler at the back, aggressive body kit, and ballistic performance from the turbocharged 2.5-litre, five-cylinder engine, the car was launched with a hugely vibrant ‘Ultimate Green’ paint scheme. Only 11,500 examples were built in a production run that lasted a little over three years, with just 4,000 finding homes in the UK.The RS stayed true to its lineage and opted to remain front wheel drive over four-wheel drive, but with a combination of Ford’s trick Revo-Knuckle front suspension, a Quaife limited-slip diff, and well-judged ESP, the Mk2 did a great job of laying the power down and managing the torque-steer while still providing plenty of involvement. The chassis was stiffened by around 30% and featured bigger driveshafts, a wider track, lower ride-height, and a faster steering rack translating into remarkably civilised road manners with a fabulous bite when you wound it up. With 301bhp and a massive 324lb.ft on tap, the RS could hit 60 mph in under 6.0 seconds and topped 160 mph, all accompanied by the throaty five-cylinder warble, plenty of turbo flutter, and even the occasional pop and bang from the exhausts. When you weren’t on a charge, the RS was a polite and practical hatchback capable of returning 25-30mpg, easy to park, offered plenty of boot space, and was reasonably quiet at a constant speed. However, with its gaping grille, 19-inch wheels, flared arches, deep diffuser, and a wing that would embarrass a Porsche Turbo, the RS leaves you in no doubt about its intentions.This 2010 Focus RS Mk 2 is finished in a seldom seen Performance Blue and is in fabulous condition. Following an unsuccessful hunt for a suitable Sierra Cosworth, our Ford enthusiast vendor opted to buy the brand-new Focus RS instead, assigning the personalised 'RS' registration number on 1st March 2010 and ,pleasingly, that will remain on the car. As standard, it comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox, 8 speakers, a heated windscreen, and auto-levelling Xenon headlights with jet wash. This example was specified as the all singing, all dancing Lux Pack 2 car, featuring all the Lux Pack 1 benefits such as dual-zone air conditioning, a tyre-pressure monitoring system, keyless start, rear parking sensors, and auto lights/wipers, with the Lux Pack 2 adding a DVD Sat-Nav system that boasted a 7-inch touchscreen, as well as a rear-view camera. The interior is finished in black with Dynamica partial-leather Recaro seats which appear unmarked, as do the carpets, presenting the whole of the interior in virtually 'showroom' condition.The car has lived in a heated garage, and remained totally standard all its life, whilst being enjoyed for local trips. The current indicated mileage is around 8,050 and the service records have been stamped by Ford Main Dealers with the most recent being recorded at 7,987 miles.. All the electronics function as Ford intended and the stereo codes and paperwork are present in the original handbook wallet. The car's comprehensive history file alongside previous MOTs and service invoices stands this car apart from others. With the prices of performance Fords continuing to rise across the board, particularly the modern classics such as the Mk1 Focus RS and Mk2 Focus RS500, this 2010 example with its single ownership, high specification and exceptionally low mileage is perfectly suited to being nestled into a collection, enthusiastically driven, or ideally a combination of the two.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: FOCUS RSYear: 2010Chassis Number: WF0GXXGCDG9D69215Registration Number: RS10 ONYTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 9D69215Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 8050 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black Partial LeatherClick here for more details and images

Very stylish in Silver Grey over Imola Red, this UK-supplied, right-hand drive, manual gearbox M3 has covered just over 29,152 miles from new.BMW’s third-generation M3, the E46, took the hearts of real sports car fans by storm when it was launched in 2000. With a lightweight construction and its high-revving, in-line 6-cylinder engine it embodied for many a return to the virtues of the legendary, first-generation cars, the E30. Priced on a par with the Porsche Boxster S, the E46 M3 was streets ahead in performance, challenging the much pricier 911 and Audi RS4. Stiffened, wider-tracked with big wheel arches and a massive front spoiler, it packed a 343bhp 3.2-litre ‘S54’ straight-six engine substantially re-engineered by the 'M' division. All cars were officially limited to 155 mph, although Autocar’s test model happily topped 160 mph.Offered here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive E46 M3 fitted with the desirable manual gearbox and finished in stylish Silver Grey Metallic with Imola Red Nappa leather. It was first registered on the 1st March 2004 and has been enjoyed by three owners since then who have covered just 29,152 miles between them. Since leaving the factory, the car has been thoughtfully enhanced with the addition of genuine ‘BMW Individual parts’ such as a BMW carbon air box, BMW Performance strut-brace, updated steering wheel, later BMW wheels, an updated BMW boot lid along with a tasteful addition of Alcantara to parts of the interior etc. Pleasingly, the original parts were retained and they are included with the car. These parts can be seen in the auction hall during the sale days and naturally the car’s history file with its service book detailing work carried out over the years will be available for inspection.Sadly, the owner of this lovely M3 passed away recently and the car is being offered by his family. It was clearly much loved by the late owner who owned it from 2009 all the way up until his recent sad passing. It’s very hard to find a manual gearbox E46 M3 with this sort of sensible mileage on the market today and this particular example appears excellent all round. Silverstone Auctions are storing the M3 for the late owner’s family prior to the sale and we encourage and welcome your earliest inspection.SpecificationMake: BMWModel: M3 E46Year: 2004Chassis Number: WBSBL92060JR09154Registration Number: LG04 GYRTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 60443201Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 29152 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Imola Red LeatherClick here for more details and images

A fabulous, fully restored, 'best of breed', Triumph Stag with a manual gearbox/overdrive and finished in classic colours.Presented here for auction is a fully restored 1975 Triumph Stag classically finished in Leyland White with a superbly presented interior in Tan with matching Biscuit carpets. Supplied new to the UK and first registered in the summer of 1975, our vendor purchased this example from 40 years single ownership before commissioning a highly detailed, complete ground-up restoration with a Triumph specialist workshop.This restoration included a bare metal respray, extensive engine overhaul, new hood, completely refinished interior, and the drive train, including the gearbox, stripped and rebuilt using new or reconditioned parts wherever possible. New wheels were fitted with new tyres, the braking system overhauled and a new exhaust fitted. As you can see, the result is simply remarkable with a final finish the envy of Stag owners anywhere. As is often the case with no expense spared restorations, the overall cost of the parts and labour would far exceed today's very reasonable guide.It's accompanied by the history file which includes invoices supporting the restoration with images documenting the work, other related paperwork, its V5C registration document and the current MOT which is valid until September 2022. Undoubtedly one of the very best on the market, this classic British sports car now has another 50 years of enjoyable motoring to offer. SpecificationMake: TRIUMPHModel: STAGYear: 1975Chassis Number: LD35675ARegistration Number: HPO 4NTransmission: ManualEngine Number: LF029558HEA Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 75498 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: TanClick here for more details and images

On offer from a superb private collection, this 997 Convertible presents dramatically in Triple Black - full stealth mode.Although the 911 (997) Carrera models appeared in 2004, it wasn't until 2006 that the Turbo version was finally launched. First shown at that year's Geneva Show, it was initially offered as a Coupé (and later as a convertible) with an impressive specification. The Mezger 3.6-litre engine was continued, now producing 480 bhp at 6,000 rpm and featuring VarioCam Plus and a pair of clever Borg-Warner variable geometry turbochargers, a totally new technology for Porsche. With a manual gearbox, the 997 Turbo requires just 3.9 seconds to reach 62 mph and will go on to 193 mph. Power is transmitted to all four wheels with Porsche Traction Management (PTM) which utilises an electronically controlled, multi-plate clutch. This intelligent technology provides variable drive to each axle. The front/rear split is continuously adjusted based on current road conditions and driver inputs. Although biased towards the rear, the front receives more power whenever the situation requires.The car presented here is a UK-supplied, C-16, right-hand drive, 2007 Porsche 911 (997.1) Turbo Convertible which, importantly, means it utilises the well-proven and legendary Mezger race-derived engine, which has a bulletproof reputation. It was supplied in black with a black leather interior and was ordered with Tiptronic transmission. It joined our vendor's Collection in May of 2013 having been enjoyed by one previous owner and the mileage when it was photographed was 33,482. Used occasionally in London, there are inevitably a few small marks, but overall the car presents really well with an excellent interior, tidy engine bay and smart alloys.This is a good-looking, well maintained, low mileage example of a very quick 911 and a worthy candidate for the serious Porsche enthusiast.NB: The Cherished Registration illustrated, GEN 35, does not form part of the sale.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 -997Year: 2007Chassis Number: WPOZZZ99Z8S786554Registration Number: TBATransmission: TiptronicDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 31000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

As glamorous today as they were when launched in the fifties, the swooping lines of these elegant roadsters have stood the test of time.The 190SL was introduced in 1955, the year Mercedes-Benz swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300SLR, and the graceful new two-door convertible grand tourer was sold alongside the road-going version of the SLR, the 300SL, whose styling it strongly resembled. In fact, the underpinnings of the two cars were quite different and, while the 300SL had a purpose-built tubular spaceframe (W198), its smaller sibling was built on a shortened version of the 'Ponton' saloon (W121) platform, which was of monocoque construction. The 190SL also boasted an all-new engine, an over-square SOHC straight-four unit of 1,897cc that produced some 105bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car to a maximum speed of 112 mph. The engine was coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox operated by a lever between the seats. The suspension comprised double wishbones and coil springs at the front and a coil-sprung swing axle at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball and braking by power-assisted drums all round. Built to the highest standards and among the quickest comparable cars of the time, the 190SL featured a well-appointed cockpit, notable comfort for its occupants and relatively generous luggage space. Under the circumstances, even the steep asking price did nothing to deter purchasers and by 1963, when production ceased, over 25,000 had found homes.The SL we have here is a car that was brought back to the UK from Malaysia in 2017. It was enjoyed by a family of classic car enthusiasts who used it to attend shows in London amongst other cities and the history file shows their intent for it to become a 'daily driver' at some point. We might suggest that was a touch aspirational, however, they invested over £5,000 upon purchase to have the Mercedes thoroughly shaken down and brought up to standard. At some point in its life, the car has been converted to right-hand drive and this conversion work has been inspected by reputable specialists, Redcastle Classics. They have reassured our vendor as to the safety of the conversion that was carried out (they prefer not to comment on the quality of other people's work) and subsequently were retained to carefully recommission the SL car prior to our forthcoming sale. This attention included extensive work on the brakes, fitting track rod ends, axle pipes and more. There is a detailed invoice in the file covering this recent work. A brand new dark blue soft top has been fitted and four new tyres popped on just prior to the MOT.With these 190SLs reaching such great heights at auction recently, a well-guided, right-hand drive car in classic Mercedes Silver must surely attract the attention of anybody hoping to find a very stylish soft-top classic in which to enjoy the arrival of summer.SpecificationMake: MERCEDES-BENZModel: 190SLYear: 1957Chassis Number: 01210407501824Registration Number: 655 UYUTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 01219217501735Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: LeatherClick here for more details and images

With just one previous owner, 34,000 miles and a full service history, this stunning Orangerot GT3 is undoubtedly investment quality.Intended primarily for competition, although still fully road legal, the Porsche 911 GT3 can trace its ancestry all the way back through a succession of high-performance models to the legendary 911 Carrera RS of 1973. The car takes its name from the FIA's GT3 category of production sports car racing and has been produced in a variety of versions since its introduction in 1999 when the GT3 badges were applied to the Type 996 iteration of the perennial 911.The 3.6-litre flat-six engine, though, departed from mainstream Type 996 practice by virtue of its water-cooled cylinders, leaving only the heads cooled by air. Called the 'Metzger' engine after its designer, Hans Metzger, this unit was closely related to that of the Porsche 962 'Sports Prototypes' and the 911 GT1 racer. In the GT3 it produced 355 bhp, 59 horsepower more than in the standard 996, which was delivered to the wheels through a strengthened gearbox boasting interchangeable ratios. To make the GT3 fit for circuit use, the brakes, suspension, and wheels were uprated to cope with the substantial increase in performance, whilst aerodynamic downforce was enhanced by a larger front air dam and a distinctive rear spoiler. Weight reduction extended to the removal of the rear seats and most of the sound deadening, rear speakers, sunroof, and air conditioning, though the latter could be ordered as an option, as could a CD/radio. In its original Type 996 incarnation, as seen here, the 911 GT3 was produced up to 2006.This lovely example was purchased by our vendor from a friend in 2004 and has remained as part of his private Collection until now. It's a C16, UK-supplied, right-hand drive car with the 6-speed manual gearbox and is finished in Zanzibar Red Pearl Effect over a standard GT3 black leather interior with Recaro seats. Whilst in our vendor's care, the car has been looked after by RW Autos of Southwark and in 2010 benefitted from a major service by Porsche Chiswick at a cost of £8,000. The indicated mileage at the time of photography was 34,838 and the Porsche remains in generally very good condition commensurate with the low mileage.It's accompanied by its V5C, the current MOT and sundry service invoices. Used in the past for Continental touring including a trip to the Nürburgring, it has only been used lightly in recent years and is now ready for a new custodian to enjoy.NB: The Cherished Registration illustrated, OCB 700, does not form part of the sale.  SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 -996Year: 2000Chassis Number: WPOZZZ99ZYS691272Registration Number: TBATransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 34838 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black leatherClick here for more details and images

Lovely, late-production TC in great colours, on the button and ready for summer.A landmark in the history of MG, the TC was the first British sports car to sell in serious numbers globally, proving a huge success in America where it paved the way for generations of Triumphs, Austin-Healeys and numerous others.  Launched in 1945, the TC may have been a mildly revamped version of the short-lived TB, but the formula of traditional sports car styling, sparkling performance and affordability made the latest MG a winner, with some 10,000 examples rolling off the production lines at Abingdon over the next five years.  Some useful modifications were made to the TB’s suspension, with new shock absorbers and conventional springs in place of the sliding trunnion set-up of the pre-war model.  The willing 1,250cc four-cylinder engine produced 54 bhp at 5,200 rpm, delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed gearbox with synchromesh on second, third and top. With its upright radiator, separate wings and a fold-flat windscreen, the MG’s steadfastly traditional appearance bucked prevailing styling trends, lacking amenities like bumper bars or even a heater – all of which only seemed to enhance the TC’s appeal to hardy sports car drivers around the world. Somewhat of a rarity in original right-hand drive form as TCs were built primarily for the US market, this handsome, home-market, right-hand drive MG TC is classically finished in Shires Green with black leather upholstery and silver wire wheels. It was first registered on 26 August 1949 and still wears its original Gloucester registration number, JDF 108. On test, the old TC fired up absolutely on-the-button, sounded very heathy and still pulled nicely, shifting precisely through the gears and the drum brakes were remarkably effective (for a post-war MG that's not far off 75-years old). Overall the car presents rather well and still attracts admiring glances from all age groups when cruising through the Oxfordshire villages.Some further attention and detailing would really bring this example up to its very best and would make a rewarding project for someone with the right skills. The MG is accompanied by a history file including a current V5c ready for ownership transfer and original TC Drivers Manual.SpecificationMake: MGModel: TCYear: 1949Chassis Number: TC9239Registration Number: JDF 108Transmission: ManualEngine Number: XPAG9989Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

A superbly crafted replication of one of the World's most famous, movie-cars.Whenever film makers tried to create an exciting car chase action scene, they were hampered by technical limitations like rear-screen projectors that took you out of the scene at the crucial moment. But then 'Bullitt' was released in 1968 with the most realistic depiction of a car chase movie-goers had ever seen. Bullitt essentially did for movie car chases what Star Wars did for science fiction films. That's because, unlike other movies at the time, the stunt driving was all real. There were no cheap rear-screen projections used for the close-up shots of the actors, and none of the scenes were sped up in post-production to heighten the sense of speed. They didn't need to be, because those cars really were barrelling through the streets of San Francisco at over 110 mph. There was a real sense of danger, unlike any movie chase before it, as the two muscle cars weaved through traffic and jumped over the hills of San Francisco, while the camera literally put you in the driving seat. The soundtrack is glorious too, and we don't mean the music soundtrack. Not a word of dialogue is spoken during the 11-minute long sequence. Apart from the scene-setting jazz score that does a great job of building tension before the chase erupts in a cloud of tire smoke, there's no music either, allowing you to appreciate the sound of two thunderous V8 muscle cars and their screaming tortured tyres battling it out. Bullitt set the standard for all movie car chases to follow, making it the most iconic and influential chase scene of all time despite the last twenty years of CGI, mainly because it's real and you can go to San Francisco and wonder 'how on earth did they do that?'. This 1968 Ford Mustang, Steve McQueen ‘Bullitt-style’ Fastback had some subtle upgrades to get it to the level of accuracy we see today. It’s supplied with a Marti Report which shows that it was an original Highland Green Fastback built at Ford’s Dearborn plant and sold by the Rebsamen Motor Company in Little Rock, Arkansas. Before leaving the USA, it was registered and used in California and a copy of the California Title is present. The car arrived in the UK in 2015 and is registered correctly with all import taxes paid.The paintwork is very good throughout dressed in movie-correct, Highland Green, and the exterior has front and rear bumper guards, screen sun-visor, correct inset sidelights, front and rear inset reflectors, original-style chrome mirrors and twin 2-inch exhaust pipes. The car sits on period-correct Torq-Thrust wheels with 225/55/16 Bridgestone Sport tyres. The private McQueen movie number plate ‘JJZ’ is also supplied with the car.The interior has been fully restored with movie-correct, black deluxe seats, woodgrain dash panel and door cards, and new carpets and headlining. The correct, four-speed, top-loader, manual gearbox has the Hurst GT shifter with a white ball GT gear knob and was refurbished recently. 3-point front seat belts and rear lap belts are installed. The 302ci V8 starts on the button and sounds great with its nickel-plated, ‘shorty’ performance headers and full X-pipe custom large dual Magnaflow exhausts. Steering is power-assisted and disc brakes are fitted on the front. The indicated mileage is 4,642, the MOT is valid until 03/05/2023 and there is a small service file with some bills.Here is your opportunity to purchase a very correct replica of the world's most famous Mustang - unleash your inner McQueen!SpecificationMake: FORDModel: MUSTANGYear: 1968Chassis Number: 8F02C114635Registration Number: TBATransmission: ManualEngine Number: 995235Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 4642 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Number 236 of 500, fresh to market after 12 years of single ownership.The original Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was the first Ford to wear the Cosworth badge and was presented to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1985. It was introduced as a means of homologating the Sierra for 'Group A' Touring Car racing, with a requirement that 5,000 cars were built and sold. Launched for sale in July 1986, and based on the three-door Sierra body-shell, it was designed by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) and was powered by a Cosworth-designed 2.0-litre turbo engine of now-legendary repute. At this time, the Sierra Cosworth was a new kind of performance car - a 'blue-collar hero' able to humble true sports cars!In total 5,545 cars were produced - of which 500 were sent to Aston Martin Tickford for conversion to the Sierra 'RS500 Cosworth'. If the RS Cosworth was a homologation car, the RS500 was an evolution special. Once Ford had built the requisite 5,000 RS Cosworths, 'Group A' rules allowed an upgraded 'evolution' model to be launched. This could carry changes focused on improving its racing potential, provided Ford sold 10% of the original number as road cars, hence the 500. The RS500 was announced in July 1987 and had a mechanically uprated Cosworth engine (more similar to the one to be used in competition), with power boosted to 224 bhp, upgraded brakes, modified bodywork and the cachet of being hand-assembled - the RS500 really is the ultimate 1980s Fast Ford!A500 EVO was first registered as OC 9198 on 1st September 1987 and supplied by Gordon Ford of Colwyn Bay to a Mr O. Cerefice from Rhyl. Chassis 236/500 retains its original engine and gearbox and remains finished in black, one of the only three colours available. Since 2010, it has been professionally stored by our vendor during his ownership and has seldom been used. The history file, with service and maintenance records, invoices and MOTs confirms the indicated mileage of 60,002 as genuine. The car has spent several lengthy periods off the road but regularly maintained as corroborated by the 10 main dealer service stamps in the record, with the last stamp at 54,996 by John Grose Ford Centre and the most recent maintenance was completed at 58,044 by David Coe of Auto Engineering Centre Performance & Tuning Specialists in Swansea.The car's overall condition is wholly commensurate with its age and indicated mileage, and with recent careful ownership and sympathetic recommissioning, including a full detail and ceramic coating, all of which is documented online. Chassis 236/500 is supplied with its original service book, handbook, audio book, UK V5C, spare keys and, pleasingly, Cherished Registration, A500 EVO, is included within the sale. An early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to acquaint yourself with this super Cosworth. SpecificationMake: FORDModel: SIERRA COSWORTHYear: 1987Chassis Number: WF0EXXGBBEGG38644Registration Number: A500 EVOTransmission: ManualEngine Number: GG38644 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 60002 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey FabricClick here for more details and images

Fabulous, 2nd-generation Interceptor with only 120 miles since a comprehensive restoration.Jensen's C-V8 replacement debuted in 1966 reviving a name first employed in the 1950s. However, several of the firm's traditions were broken in that the design was outsourced to Carrozzeria Touring and the bodies made of steel not glass fibre. Early shells were built in Italy, by Vignale, prior to production being established at Jensen's Kelvin Way plant in West Bromwich. Power came from a 6,276cc (383ci) Chrysler V8, driving through either a four-speed manual or three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission to an LSD Salisbury rear axle. Specification included electric windows, reclining seats, wood-rim steering wheel, radio with twin speakers, electric clock and reversing lights.Production of the Interceptor II (occasionally called the Mk.II or Series II) commenced in October 1969 and lasted for two years. This particular car has a chassis prefix, #123, so was one of 694 right-hand drive, UK cars powered by the E-Series 383ci V8 generating around 330 bhp. Pleasingly, it still wears its original registration number, HMK 6K, and from the history file we can see that it left the factory on 09/08/1971 finished in Silver Grey over Black Leather and optioned from new with Sundym Glass, Voxon Radio Cartridge Player, Air-con, and Town & Country Horns.The rebuild of this exquisite Jensen, undertaken by Kestrel Classic Cars of Redditch, Jensen Marque Specialists, commenced in 2013 but unfortunately stalled in late 2014 due to the owners ill health, with the Interceptor not seeing light of day for the next seven years until the time was right to finish the build. Superbly presented in Stratosphere Blue with a full Black Hide interior the ground up rebuild shows excellent attention to detail throughout setting this particular Series II at a level that few achieve. The detailed restoration has left no stone unturned including a complete bare-metal body refurbishment, an engine, gearbox and drivetrain rebuild by American V8 Specialist David Gilliver, a total rewire, re-chroming by Derby Plating, a full retrim - in hide of course, all finished to the very highest of levels. The car has been sensibly upgraded for modern day usage including uprated cooling, a high-torque starter, an alternator and a modern air conditioning system. With a mere 120 shake down miles completed, a period of further running-in is recommended to achieve the very best from this outstanding Grand Tourer. Having been undervalued for many years the Interceptor has recently seen somewhat of a resurgence with interest and demand for correctly restored examples increasing at a pace. Your earliest inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the lengths taken to return this elegant GT to the road. SpecificationMake: JENSENModel: INTERCEPTOR IIYear: 1971Chassis Number: 123/4228Registration Number: HMK 6KTransmission: AutoEngine Number: J2415/123GDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 16322 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black HideClick here for more details and images

By 1983, the 2994cc SC was producing 204bhp, only 6 shy of the 1973 Carrera RS!In 1978 Porsche introduced their latest iteration of the 911, the Super Carrera, or SC as it is badged, as a worthy successor to the 911 Carrera. The recipe remained very familiar, utilising the evocative 3.0-litre, flat-six aluminium engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, mated to a five-speed, 915 manual transmission. The move from magnesium to aluminium engines was purely done for reliability reasons. While the SC engine remained at 3-litres, the power output increased with time, starting at 180 bhp from 1978-79, increasing to 188 bhp for 1980 only, then from 1981-1983 a good 204 bhp was on offer, only 6 less than the legendary 2.7RS from 1973.1979 was the year that Porsche had envisioned that their new 928 would be a worthy replacement for the 911, however, demand and sales of the 911 remained so strong that Porsche thankfully decided to inject new life into their core model. In late 1982, they released the first Porsche cabriolet to the public since the 356 of the 1960s, and the first ever cabriolet 911. The concept they displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Show also included a four-wheel drive system, although this never made it to the production line. Despite its premium price tag, over 4,000 cabriolets were sold in its first year, marking the beginning of the 911 Cabriolet range we’ve seen grow over the years.This pretty, final year of production, 1983 SC Cabriolet was bought by our vendor back in 1986, making him just its second owner from new. It's presented in lovely, useable condition having covered a warranted 73,000 miles from new which equates to less than 2,000 miles a year. This is a well optioned car, finished in its original Ruby Red (Rubinrot) Metallic with a burgundy and cream two-tone leatherette interior enhanced by burgundy and cream 'pin-stripe' details. It's fitted with a five-speed 915 manual gearbox and black-centred/chrome rimmed Fuchs alloys which look particularly good on this Cabriolet. Coming from cherished, long-term ownership, this 911 has been lucky enough to live its life in our vendor's garage which might explain why the original bodywork, paintwork, hood, and interior remain in such good order. The history file is good, and any necessary work has been undertaken as soon as required. In 2021 the car was serviced with new fluids and filters, new callipers and a new fuel tank fitted. Late 911 SCs are becoming more and more sought after, with collectors and enthusiasts agreeing that they possess more of the 911 magic and ‘feel’ than the later Carrera 3.2. It's very rare to find such a great, original 911 in just the right condition, perfect for the arrival of summer.   SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 SC CABRIOLETYear: 1983Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ91ZDS150997Registration Number: PYM 976YTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 63D4075Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 72979 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Burgundy and CreamClick here for more details and images

1950 BSA Bantam D1 Rigid Frame 123ccReg. no. FBX 641Frame no. YD120675Engine no. 20633YDWhen launched in 1948 the Bantam D1 had a modern unit construction, 2-stroke 123cc engine with a 3-speed gearbox that was said to be equal to any equivalent motor made by the major producer of 2-strokes at that time, Villiers. The initial rigid framed bike was soon joined by a plunger framed model and the two were sold side by side until 1955.This Bantam appears to have been restored to a very good standard many years ago but has not been used for some time so will require recommissioning prior to use.Comes with - a current V5C.

1938 MG TA TickfordReg. no. NP 1067Chassis no. TA3049Engine no. MPJG3318The TA was launched in 1936, marking the beginning of the long-running T-Type series of Midgets. Replacing the PB, it was a larger car, with a 3-inch wider track – 45 inches – and 7-inch longer wheelbase – 94 inches. This made it a much more useable car with more luggage space, and easier to get in and out of without resorting to complex gymnastic routines. The 1292cc engine was also a new fitment. Derived from the Wolseley Ten, this ‘MPJG’ unit was overhead-valve, doing away with the overhead-cam format of the earlier MG’s. Breathing through twin SU carburettors, it offered 50bhp, meaning the TA could reach almost 80mph – very competitive for a small sports car in its time. The four-speed gearbox benefitted from synchromesh on the top two ratios, while hydraulic brakes were now the standard fitment. Production ended in 1939; from 1938, a Tickford drophead coupe was also offered, just 252 of which were built. These cars were bodied by Salmons of Newport Pagnell using Tickford patents – namely, the hood that could be used in three positions, fully up, half-open, and fully down. This luxurious body also featured proper wind-up windows, offering a level of weather protection of which owners of other MGs could only dream.This Tickford TA was built in December 1938, and first registered in March 1939 to a Mr B Cooke of Rednal, Birmingham, as evidenced by correspondence in the file. Also, within the file is correspondence with the DVLA in the 1970s and 1980s, plus a dealer’s advert for the car and some old MOTs, a V5C and photographs. The car has not been used for a few years and thus some recommissioning will be needed; however, it presents very well, with good paintwork, while the all-important hood is free of tears and damage.

c. 1939 MG TA Cream Cracker Replica Reg. no. MG 4639Chassis no. TA/3131Engine no. XPAG16305MG’s successful TA Midget did of course, like its forerunners and competitors, find a natural home in various disciplines of motorsport in the 1930s. Perhaps their best-known exploits came on the trials hills, with TAs painted in the distinctive combination of brown over cream continued the name and success of the ‘Cream Crackers’ – the name given to MG’s works trials vehicles. For weight reduction TA Cream Crackers had aluminium bonnets and cycle wings, while they were often modified to carry two spare wheels at the rear for extra traction. The Cream Cracker team in their TAs duly won the MCC team championship in both 1937 and 1938, helping secure MG’s superb trialling pedigree.This 1939 TA arrived in the collection in 1998 as a kit of parts and was assembled for Mr Pugh by MG Classics (Ely) Ltd as a Cream Cracker replica. During this process, it was also fitted with a later MG TC engine and a Riley 1 ½ Litre gearbox, plus a Ford Anglia differential incorporating a higher ratio. With mileage on 0 on acquisition – the car was straight from the restoration workshop – it was then used lightly over the next decade, with 2792 miles covered up to October 2009. During this period, the car was serviced regularly, and maintenance and adjustments carried out where required. In 2009, the braking system was overhauled, together with the rear axle. Not used for a few years now, the car will of course need recommissioning, but once that is completed should prove a most versatile vehicle, on the road or on trials hills. It comes with various bills and old MOTs, a V5C stating the year as 1998, plus photographs of the rebuild and an old buff log book.

1948 Morris 8 Series E SaloonReg. no. KDE 350Chassis no. SE/F116293Engine no. UnknownThe Series E Morris 8 represented a major styling change for Morris’ most popular model. Launched in October 1938, it clearly drew its styling cues from the streamlining that was so in fashion at the time, with the car looking somewhat like a small version of the Chrysler Airflow. Gone were the separate headlights and pronounced radiator of the previous model; instead, the lights smoothly blended into the wings, while the grille was now a dummy ‘waterfall’ item, following the curved line of the front of the car. On the side, the running boards had disappeared. The engine was upgraded – still a side-valve ‘four’ of 918cc, but now with 29bhp, thanks largely to an improved cylinder head. The gearbox gained a fourth speed, with synchromesh on second, third and fourth. Unusually, the car remained in production throughout the war years for military and essential civilian purposes. In production until its replacement by the Minor in 1948, the Series E was a popular car, with just over 120,000 finding owners. This 1948 example was a Pembrokeshire car from new, the original logbook showing a Mr P F Martin of Haverfordwest as its first owner. Purchased in 1994 as a restoration project, much work was then carried out, with bills and details in the car’s history file. The most recent bill is from 2003, when amongst other things, the braking system was renewed, the clutch adjusted, the engine mounts replaced, and the voltage regulator replaced. There is a V5C in the file.

1928 Rolls-Royce 20 HP Park Ward SaloonReg. no. YX 9722Chassis no. GKM48Engine no. Q8MComplementing the mighty 40/50hp models – first the Silver Ghost, later the Phantom – the Rolls Royce 20hp was the company’s ‘small’ car for the 1920s – although of course small here is a purely comparative term! Much more attainable than a 40/50, it was nevertheless a very expensive high-quality car, built with all the attention detail and engineering rigour as its larger siblings. Based on a very strongly-built conventional chassis, with semi-elliptic springs all round, the car was powered by a new 3127cc overhead-valve straight-six, offering around 50bhp by most estimates – although of course Rolls Royce themselves never did anything so vulgar as publishing brake horsepower outputs. Early cars had a 3-speed gearbox with central change; from 1925 this was upgraded to a 4-speed, with the change moved to the right of the driver. That year also saw the introduction of very effective 4-wheel brakes, operated as in the larger cars by a gearbox-driven servo – a system famously licensed by Rolls Royce from their French-Spanish rivals, Hispano-Suiza. As was usual for luxury cars at the time, Rolls Royce only built the chassis and mechanical parts; these were then provided to the customer’s choice of coachbuilder for a bespoke body.This 1928 20 was delivered to coachbuilders Park Ward – always a popular choice for Rolls Royce’s customers – and fitted by them with fabric-covered coachwork to Weymann patents. This type of body, with a wooden frame and flexible metal joints, was both light and rattle-free compared to contemporary saloon bodies. The car’s early history is unclear, but the original factory order sheet, a printed copy of which is in the file, lists the purchaser as Sir Archibald Mitchelson, 1st Baronet – an investment banker. A letter in the file from a Mr Jennings states that his father, of Frome, purchased the car in 1948 or 49 and then used it as his main car until 1960, when a failed autovac caused a breakdown in Bath. Thought to have been unused from this point, it was acquired by Mr Pugh at a Christie’s auction of unrestored vehicles at Beaulieu Autojumble in 1994, for just under £20,000 including premium. Due to its long hibernation, various work was required, and this was duly carried out. The fabric exterior finish had unfortunately developed cracks and was duly replaced, together with repairs to the wooden frame; the rest of the car’s cosmetics remain extremely original. Mechanically, the car was completely renewed, with bills adding up to well over £10,000, including over £8,500 on a full engine rebuild. The car was rewired, the braking system sorted, the suspension renewed, and the clutch relined – the relevant bills are present, and too detailed to list in full here! After this work, the car returned to the road, and up to 2010 covered almost 10,000 miles, with a detailed mileage and maintenance record being kept. This superbly original and well-preserved Rolls Royce is offered with a large amount of paperwork, consisting of a comprehensive set of bills for the work carried out in the 1990s, plus some correspondence and the catalogue for the Christie’s auction where it was purchased. It also has various old MOTs, 1945 and 1975 logbooks, plus copies of the factory build and test sheets, containing some fascinating technical information, including dynamometer tests, spring specifications, and optional equipment. It also comes with an original handbook for the 20hp, plus one for the 40/50hp, and a March 1937 copy of the Rolls Royce Bulletin, as fate would have it containing an article on Lacock, very close to where the car is now being offered for sale.

2011 Land Rover 110 XS Defender Transmission: manualMileage:The Land Rover Defender was launched in 1948 and, incredibly, production only finished in January 2016 after a continuous run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 vehicles from the Series III Land Rover. A full-length bonnet, revised grille, plus the fitting of wheel arch extensions to cover wider-track axles are the most noticeable changes. Internally, coil springs offered a more comfortable ride and a permanent four-wheel drive system derived from the Range Rover featuring a two-speed transfer gearbox with a lockable centre differential. A modernised interior and a new series of progressively more powerful and modern engine characterised things under the skin. In August 2011, Land Rover announced an update of the Defender for the 2012 model year. By this time, Land Rover publicly acknowledged that it was working on a project to produce an all-new replacement for the Defender. Then in line for the 2012 models was the installation of a different engine Ford decided, due to cost reasons, not to modify the engine introduced in 2007 and so the engine was replaced with the ZSD-422 engine, essentially a 2.2-litre variant of the same engine.This fabulous 110 Defender was originally registered on 24th March 2011. It has just had some £36,000 spent on it turning the vehicle into a brute to drive. The engine has been replaced with a brand new 5.3 litre Corvette unit. This is mated to short-shift gearbox, the performance of this Defender is breathtaking and must be driven to be fully appreciated. Finished in metallic red with black part leather interior and featuring creature comforts like air conditioning and heated seats, additional equipment includes sidesteps and LED lights. It is easily apparent the vendor has left no stone unturned in creating this unique Land Rover. A mere 800 miles has been covered since the work was completed. A significant history folder accompanies this 110 Defender XS, including a V5C registration document and receipts for the work carried out, as an added bonus the car is ULEZ compliant. Inspection is recommended to fully appreciate the extent and quality of the work carried out.

1908 Renault Model VI 20/30 Landaulette Transmission: manualMileage:Founded by Louis Renault and his brothers Marcel and Fernand in 1898, the company that would become France's biggest automobile manufacturer started humbly enough, with a solitary 1¾hp De Dion-engined prototype, the sprung rear axle of which would soon be copied by many contemporaries. Production at the Billancourt factory was soon under way on a large scale, demand for its products being enhanced by the performance of Renault cars in the great inter-city races so popular in France at the turn of the 19th Century.From the outset Renault engineering was of the highest quality and the arrival of multi-cylinder models really put the company on the map. By 1904 Renault was building its own engines: large-capacity fours at first, followed by the AX twin that later developed into the AG, famous for its WWI role as the 'Taxi de la Marne'. Messrs Renault and Frères exhibited five different models at Olympia in 1905, ranging from the twin-cylinder 8/12hp AX to the four-cylinder 35/45hp model. The 14/20hp was powered by a conventional, four-cylinder side valve engine of a little over three litres capacity, and featured the traditional Renault 'coal-scuttle' bonnet, rear-mounted radiator, semi-elliptic suspension, rear-wheel brakes, cone clutch and a three-speed gearbox. This model was still in the range in 1909 as the 'BX', although the days of its 'paired cylinders' engine were numbered, and by this time was being built with a four-speed gearbox.This 20/30 VB model is a very well-presented example indeed. Fitted with its original body, which was built by Stareys & Woolleys of Nottingham, the Renault looks superb and has a wonderful patina throughout. Included in the sale is a sizeable history file containing invoices going back to the 1960's. The leather at the rear is believed to be original as is the majority of the vehicle with stamps on the body dated early 1900's. In very good running condition the Renault comes from a private collection and is ready to be used immediately.

1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:35390The Jaguar XK120 was manufactured between 1948 and 1954 and was Jaguar's first sports car since the SS100 which ceased production in 1940. The XK120 was launched in roadster form at the 1948 London Motor Show as a show car for the new Jaguar XK engine. It caused a sensation, thus persuading Jaguar founder and design boss William Lyons to put the car into production. The '120' in its name referred to its 120mph top speed which made the XK120 the world's fastest standard production car at the time of its launch. It was available in two open versions; first as the roadster, then also as a drophead coupé from 1953. It was also available as a closed, or 'fixed-head' coupé from 1951. With an alloy cylinder head and twin side-draft SU carburettors, the double overhead-cam 3.4 litre straight six XK engine was comparatively advanced for a mass-produced unit of the time. With a standard compression ratio of 8:1 it developed 160bhp. This same basic design of the XK engine, later modified into 3.8 litre and 4.2 litre versions, survived into the late 1980s. All XK120s had independent torsion bar front suspension, semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear, re-circulating ball steering, telescopically adjustable steering column and all-round 12-inch drum brakes.Manufactured on the 23rd May 1951 and dispatched to the first owner, Peter French, for the 14th June. This stunning XK120 roadster is presented in Silver with contrasting blood red trim and benefitted from a new hood frame, hood and side screens in 2016. Our vendor has owned this car since 2015 and has since treated the car to a full mechanical overhaul with RPS (Rally Preparation Services) in Oxfordshire, experts in their field. Between June 2019 and July 2021 this included stripping and overhauling the cylinder head converting to unleaded, a rebuilt steering box and culminated in a stripped and rebuilt gearbox a modified radiator and brake overhaul with detailed invoices in excess of £35,000. In period we are informed that this car competed with racing driver Billy Bradshaw and was successful winning the 1956 Walter Sexton Memorial Trophy and that a genuine C-Type head was purchased for the princely sum of £100 and fitted during this period (no longer with the car). Now a restored example with an original service manual and history folder with impeccable mechanical workmanship this car would be a fabulous addition to any collection and would be an ideal car for any XK enthusiast looking to enjoy the joy of driving these 50's sports cars.Interested parties should note that the C-Type head fitted in period when racing is no longer with this car.

1973 BMW 2002 Baur Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:78805The BMW 2002 series is important in the history of BMW for several reasons; not least of which being that it brought the company out of near bankruptcy in the 1960s and put BMW on the map in the United States. It was the ancestral grandfather to the BMW 3 Series and was produced from 1968 to 1976. German BMW importer Max Hoffman is credited with the car's creation. He had suggested to BMW's engineering director that a 2.0 litre engine should be installed into the small two-door 1602 to improve performance and emissions. The resulting 2002 (named after the new motor's displacement) was popular in its first year on sale. This BMW 2002 is one of only 354 examples manufactured in right hand drive format. Conversions on these outstanding vehicles were carried out by coachbuilder Karosserie Baur in Stuttgart. Baur retained a 'T' bar in the roof design helping to dramatically reduce any scuttle shake.This stunning 2002 convertible by Baur is presented in deep Atlantic Blue with contrasting houndstooth trim and presented in excellent order. Restored in the mid-90s by specialists Jaymic with modifications including five-speed BMW 5 series gearbox, electric power steering, Weber twin-choke 34-36 carburettor conversion complete with correct electric fuel pump, a Schrick cam, engine re-build in 2016 with electronic ignition and stainless steel exhaust system, re-built centre console with new dials and a modern sound system including Apple Play and bluetooth phone system. The bodywork has been restored and repainted, a new Targa top fitted and upholstery renovated with new 'original' houndstooth check cloth and blue vinyl imported from Germany. Sitting on original steel wheels and hubcaps with a fabulous Mountney steering wheel, the car is accompanied by a history file including photo records of the restoration works, a large file of invoices going back to 1991 and MoT records back to 1984 which suggests that the mileage is correct. The vendor informs us that during the summer of 2021 the odometer stopped working, although the speedometer is working correctly and few miles have been covered since, but this would benefit from replacing or repairing. A rare and desirable 2002 for which viewing is highly recommended.

1968 MGB Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:3279The MGB was launched in May 1962 to replace the MGA. Introduced as a four-cylinder roadster, a coupé with 2+2 seating was 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. The performance was considered brisk at the time of its introduction aided by the relatively light weight of the car.Beautifully presented in Mineral Blue with as new black trim, this special MGB roadster has been subject to a full nut and bolt restoration and as such presents as one of the best we have seen. The supplied Heritage Certificate confirms this is a home market supplied example in its factory colours supplied by University Motors Limited and specified with wire wheels, a heater, Dunlop radial tyres, ashtray and folding hood. Dispatched 18th September 1968, commission number G23N/010599-F. The restoration was commissioned by a longstanding MG Owner's Club member who used the club to source all necessary parts and specialists. The engine was fully rebuilt alongside the gearbox and overdrive by Carlow engineering in 2008 before being fully balanced, this was the culmination of a restoration that began in 1994 when a new bodyshell was sourced and purchased from Moss. All receipts and bills from the restoration are in two folders, these show the significant expense and time taken to restore this fabulous British sports car to better than new and upon inspection we do not believe it would fail to impress any potential buyer.

1968 Alvis TF21 Transmission: manualMileage:137The three litre, series IV, TF21 was the last car produced by Alvis cars. An updated version of the 1963 TE21 was announced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1966 and made until 1967. The body was a modified version of the TC108G styled by Graber of Switzerland but built by Mulliner Park Ward and was distinguished by having twin headlights mounted, one above the other, fixedhead coupé and convertible versions were available. The design was noted for its lack of bright side trim or creases moulded into the body parts and the windscreen was one-piece, curved and not too highly sloped. Externally, the car was identical to the TE21, but there were some changes to the suspension and, inside the car, the instruments were better organised.  The 2993cc engine, first used in the 1950 TA21, had its power increased to 150bhp at 4750rpm by fitting triple SU carburettors giving the car a top speed of 120mph. A choice of automatic gearbox or a five-speed manual gearbox made by ZF was available.This Alvis TF is thought to be the penultimate one ever built. The last registered keeper, the late Tom Poole was a very interesting man. He sadly lost his sight at the age of 11, however, that did not stop him from qualifying as a lawyer and he was called to the bar in 1966. Eventually his attention turned to music and in particular piano tuning setting up the Cambridge Pianolo Company in Cambridge. Tom's other great passion was cars, he never let his loss of sight diminish his enthusiasm for owning cars and he purchased his first Alvis in 1968. PCH 617F was purchased by him some 40 years ago and stored in a barn. The current vendor purchased the Alvis from the estate some five years ago with a view to restoring the car to its former glory. However, time restraints and lifestyle have hindered the likelihood of this happening and he has decided to offer the car for sale. Whilst in need of a full and total restoration, this is a car with great historic value, particularly with Alvis aficionados and enthusiasts.

1958 BMW Isetta 'Pick-up' Transmission: manualMileage:21074The Isetta is an Italian-designed microcar built under licence in several different countries including Germany and the United Kingdom. Produced in the post war years, at a time when cheap, short distance transportation was most needed, it became one of the most successful and influential city cars ever created. Because of its egg shape and bubble-like windows, it became known as a 'bubble car'; a name then later given to other similar vehicles. The Isetta was, in 1955, the world's first mass-produced car and was the top-selling single-cylinder car in the world with a total of 161,728 units sold.This Isetta pick-up was built under licence from BMW at Portslade nr. Brighton in 1957. It was Isetta's idea of capturing some of the commercial market but very few were ever built. Some sources suggesting as few as 26 were made. This four-wheel Isetta has what the sales brochure describes as ample carriage space with 165lb in the container and 187lb alongside the driver in lieu of a passenger seat. In 2015, following many years of hibernation, with photographs to show what a sorry state it was in, this Isetta benefitted from a no expense, nut and bolt restoration. The 300cc single cylinder, four stroke BMW engine and four speed gearbox were both overhauled by Isetta experts, whilst the bodywork and electrics also received expert attention. Following the restoration 'Bubbles' as the car is affectionately known was displayed at the NEC car show and national micro cars rallies in Cumbria, Bath and Somerset winning top prizes at all these prestigious events. 2017 saw 'Bubbles' win the trophy for best restoration of the year at the NEC classic car show. This stunning and extremely rare example is sure to attract plenty of attention given both its condition and realistic estimate.

1971 Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:83002By the mid-1960s, the Jaguar E-Type was appealing to the man with a young family but who were restricted by the size of the current Jaguar E-Type Coupé and its open topped sibling. This prompted Jaguar to offer a third option in the form of a 2+2 Coupé. By adding nine inches to the wheelbase and two inches in height, it was then possible to fit a rear seat capable of seating two adults in tolerable comfort. Of course the rear seat was more suited to children or, as 'The Motor' put it at the time, the car could 'extend Dad's youth for another seven years'. Robert Bell in Motor was quoted as saying at the time that all we expected to try was a new engine but what in fact we drove was a new car. Not a yowling, aggressive Ferrari-like machine with which, perhaps, most people associate a V12 engine but a very smooth, quiet and refined grand touring sports car.This superb V12 Coupé is an original right hand drive matching numbers example presented in Signal Red with black leather interior. Its 5.3 litre engine is mated to a manual gearbox and its general condition throughout can be considered to be extremely good. Its Heritage certificate shows that it was originally despatched to the Automobile Centre in Leeds on 7th September 1971, painted white and registered AD 69. The car underwent a comprehensive restoration in the 1980s, at which point its colour changed to red and a new bonnet was fitted. This wonderful E-type was also re-sprayed in the mid-2000s to bring the bodywork up to standard and much of the chrome was also replaced, including new headlight crowns, front grille and stainless steel bumpers. The car is fitted with power steering and is a joy to drive. It comes with a substantial history file including its Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate and is ready to be enjoyed.

1973 Aston Martin Vantage Transmission: manualMileage:96842The arrival of the DBS signified a real revolution at Aston Martin in the late 1960s. British stylist William Towns, a then junior Aston Martin interior designer, penned a thoroughly modern GT design that has been celebrated ever since as one of the most elegant yet muscular shapes to emerge from the golden age of Sports GT motoring. The single-headlamp version of William Towns design was launched in 1972 and named 'Vantage' and retained the well proven, six-cylinder 3995cc Tadek Marek engine. With only 70 examples built, it is now one of the rarest post-war Aston Martin models and the purest of the 'single-headlamp' Towns design that was to pilot Aston Martin through to the end of the 1980s.This truly stunning example of the rare Aston Martin Vantage is presented in its original colour blue coachwork with contrasting blood red leather trim, all in lovely order. First registered on the 27th April 1973, this matching numbers example boasts the rare and desirable five-speed manual gearbox. Owned in the extended family since 1997, this car has had significant investment in a full nut and bolt restoration. The engine block initially benefited from Aston Martin works treatment before the rest of the car was completely deconstructed and then painstakingly restored and reassembled to create a truly wonderful and collectable example that would have cost far in excess of our estimates to complete. Part of a small family collection, our owner professes to not have the time to use the car enough, although he has always kept it in impeccable order. Having only covered four thousand miles since restoration, it would now be deserving of a new home at a fraction of the restoration costs.When you consider the scarcity of the early Vantage's, the excellent condition of this car, the specialist engineering work invested and the even rarer (and highly desirable) specification of this particular car, then this certainly is a collector's item of some stature and deserving of close

1966 Sunbeam Tiger Mk. Ia - Road/Race car Transmission: manualMileage:Inspired by the AC Cobra that was effectively the British AC Ace sports car powered by the large American Ford 4.2 litre, V8, the Sunbeam Tiger first saw the light of day in 1964. Based upon the Rootes Group, Sunbeam Alpine, the Tiger - with the Ford power plant slotted into the engine bay, it became what is surely one of motoring's true 'wolf in sheep's clothing'. The tiger had a steering rack as one of the modifications by Shelby. Which made for precise handlingThe present vendor purchased this FIA 260ci race prepared Mk. Ia Tiger in 1998 from Sweden. This Tiger was an original U.K. car and was first registered in the UK on 1st July 1966 where it had one keeper for 16 years, until it was sold and went to Sweden. After much preparation to the car, he initially entered it in the Manx Classic in 1999. After this it was regularly raced in the Anglo-American Challenge series until 2003. During this time, it participated in several hill climb events, including Shelsley Walsh and Prescott Hillclimb, where it won its class. During 2001/2002, the car was completely rebuilt and repainted Mediterranean Blue from its original colour of Artic White. Fresh from its rebuild, it won the 260ci class in the Sunbeam Challenge race in 2002. From 2004 to date, the owner has been successfully racing it in the mildly modified class in the Aston Martin Owners Club Intermarque Championship. Now running a 302ci engine, but retaining rear drum brakes, the car has won its class in the Championship since 2006 to 2013 and has also won the Championship outright, an unprecedented, four times in 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011.The present owner made sure the car had an MoT test certificate every year since he purchased it and until it was not necessary as a historic vehicle, which means that it is road legal! It has been displayed at the NEC Classic Car show on the Sunbeam Tiger Club stand and has been to several other club events. The engine is a Ford V8 302ci with Edelbrock RPM kit (the kit consists of matching Camshaft, Cylinder heads & Inlet Manifold). The crankshaft has been Nitrided, it has Keith Black pistons, I-beam con-rods, hydraulic lifters, roller rockers, high volume oil pump and a large volume sump with pick-up system. It is fitted with a Salisbury diff and has a four-speed top loader gearbox with Hurst shifter. The front suspension has a double wishbone with 600lb springs built by Robinson Race Cars, Koni adjustable shock absorbers and an adjustable anti-roll bar. This superb sports car is also fitted with MSD soft touch rev limiter (adjustable using different rated plug-in chips) and MSD shift light (adjustable using different rated plug-in chips) - these are just a few technical details this fabulous and quick road/race has but the full list can be seen in the history file.

1972 Triumph TR6 Transmission: manualMileage:82000The Triumph TR6 was manufactured for seven years from 1969 and by the time production came to an end in July 1976, it was the best-seller of the TR range. The bodywork closely resembled that of the previous model, the Triumph TR5, but the front and rear were squared off and all TR6s featured inline six-cylinder engines. For the US market, the engine was fitted with carburettors whilst, for other world markets including the UK, the TR6 was fitted with fuel injection. It featured a four-speed manual gearbox, independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 15 wheels and tyres, pile carpet on the floors and boot, bucket seats and a full complement of instruments. In total 94,619 TR6s were built of which 86,249 were sold overseas and only 8,370 were sold in the UK.First registered on 23rd June 1972, this desirable 'CP' 150 brake horsepower car was a UK home market supplied vehicle, which included the overdrive gearbox option from new. The car was purchased in the early 90's by a Mr Wallin in Berkshire who, in 1994, began what developed into a comprehensive restoration spanning six years and resulted in a stunning outcome. The burr walnut dash is as new, likewise the double duck hood which complements the lovely blue coachwork and black trim. When Mr Brown in Bracknell purchased the car in 2005 the expenditure didn't stop there. Being described as somewhat of a perfectionist he had Rees Bros. inspect the car prior to purchase. In 2013 Mr Brown had the engine reconditioned by Rees Bros. who also provided an evaluation on the car stating it was 'an excellent example of this desirable sports car that has been looked after very well. It is in first class order throughout'. Having covered only minimal mileage since, the car presents just as it would have in 2013, one of the best we have offered, purchased last year by an international collector the car has been dry stored and will be lightly re-commissioned with new oil and filters coupled to a new UK MoT for the sale. Supplied with its UK V5C registration document, previous MoT test certificates and many receipts. This example, offered in its ultimate high-powered specification, is not to be confused with the average TR6. Its condition is fantastic and it presents extremely well in a desirable colour combination.

1969 Jaguar E-Type Series II 2+2 Fixedhead Coupé Transmission: automaticMileage:28919The Jaguar E-Type was initially designed and shown to the public as a grand tourer in two-seater coupé form and as a convertible roadster. Open headlights without glass covers, a wrap-around rear bumper, re-positioned and larger front indicators and taillights below the bumpers, better cooling aided by an enlarged 'mouth' and twin electric fans, together with up-rated brakes are all hallmarks of the Series II cars. The interior and dashboard were also re-designed with rocker switches being substituted for toggle switches. The dashboard switches also lost their symmetrical layout. New seats were fitted which purists claim lacked the style of the originals but were certainly more comfortable; air conditioning and power steering were available as factory options.This original UK supplied right hand drive series II 2+2 coupé was first registered in September 1969 and is presented in a stunning baby blue with contrasting cream interior trim. Our vendor purchased this example in 2019 from the then owner of some 34 years, he was only the third owner and had undertaken much works including an £18,000 bare metal restoration of the body by Southern Classics coupled to a gearbox rebuild in 2017. When purchased in 1985 by the previous owner the car had covered less than 15,000 miles, when sold to our vendor in 2019 that had increased but even now the car is showing an incredibly low 28,919 miles. The history file is full of bills and receipts and demonstrates a collection of enthusiastic owners. The trim has a lovely patina which compliments the splendid bodywork. Boasting the automatic gearbox coupled to the larger 2+2 body this is a very capable and comfortable E-Type ready to be enjoyed.

1963 Ford Consul Capri Transmission: manualMileage:6624The Ford Consul Capri was launched in 1961 and was the first European market Ford to bear the Capri name. The Ford Consul Capri is a two-door coupé version of the Consul Classic and was available from 1961 until 1964. In February 1963, the GT version was announced.The sleek lines of this rare Consul Capri perfectly showcase its dark green paintwork. Complemented by a two-tone interior this Ford has a design that still looks fresh today but must have been way ahead of its time for 1963. We are informed that these stunning looks are matched by the cars fun factor when driven. This Consul Capri is now fitted with a 2.0 litre Pinto engine and a five-speed gearbox, offering brisk performance with retro aesthetics, which are further enhanced by Mini-Lite style wheels. Offered to auction with a V5C registration certificate this Capri is sensibly estimated given the huge popularity that all Ford models have enjoyed in recent years.
