TR6R DU 11033Unitary construction of the engine/gearbox had been a feature of Triumph's 350 and 500 twins since 1957 and that innovation duly appeared on the 650s in 1963. This particular T120 Bonneville dates from 1967, by which time the handling problems associated with earlier versions had been sorted and 12-volt electrics standardised. The engine is from a later TR6R Trophy, fitted with a Bonneville cylinder head. Currently displaying a total of 23,717 miles on the odometer, the Bonnie is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed (the engine does not turn). The machine comes with a V5 document. It should be noted the VRN 'RYO 726E' does not appear on the HPI/DVLA database. Accordingly prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the validity of the VRN prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate 1958 Triton 650cc 'Cafe Racer'Registration no. 66 WRFFrame no. unable to locate (see text)Engine no. T110 D13676A happy marriage of Triumph power and Norton roadholding, courtesy of the latter's peerless Featherbed frame, the Triton is rightly regarded by enthusiasts as the quintessential British sports special. This hybrid first emerged in the 1950s and continues to be built by professionals and amateurs alike, enjoying marque status today. Purchased in December 1976, the example offered here incorporates the frame from a 1958 Norton Model 50; a pre-unit Triumph Tiger 110 engine; and an AMC gearbox. Other notable features include an eight-stud cylinder head; twin Amal Monobloc carburettors; and a Suzuki front brake. The headlight and instruments are missing. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with an old-style continuation logbook and an old-style V5.

From the estate of the late Roy Houghton 1959 Norton 350cc Model 50Registration no. 438 XUUFrame no. P13 81784Engine no. P13 81785Introduced in 1933, the single-cylinder Model 50 was Norton's first production overhead-valve machine in the 350 class; the '50' and its twin-port brother the '55' being junior versions of the 490cc Models 18 and 20 respectively. Norton's sporting 350 single was built in several versions and continuously developed during a production run lasting until 1963, post-war innovations including the adoption of the AMC gearbox in 1956 and a switch to superior alternator electrics and the peerless 'Featherbed' frame for 1959. Supplied new by Alec Bennett Ltd, this Featherbed-framed Model 50 was restored 15 years ago and registered to Roy Houghton in September 2009. The current odometer reading is 912 miles, which is believed to be the distance covered since the restoration. Presented in lovely condition, like all the machines in Roy's collection, the Norton is offered with old/current V5C documents.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The ex-Phil Read 1971 Yamaha 250cc TD2 Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. TD104 - 2 stamped on the top yokeEngine no. none visible - Crankcase mating numbers. 3116•Phil Read's No.2 bike from the 1971 season•One of two built under the direction of Ferry Brouwer•Restored by Nigel EverettThe mainstay of 250cc and 350cc racing at national and international level for many years, the twin-cylinder two-stroke Yamaha well deserved the title of 'privateer's friend'; indeed, without it, grids in these classes would have been depleted in extremis during the 1970s. In 1970 nine out of the top ten in the 250cc World Championship rode Yamahas, and their very ubiquity led many riders to seek a competitive edge over similarly mounted rivals by turning to independent tuners and frame builders. Following the Yamaha factory team's withdrawal from racing at the end of 1968, which left Phil Read without a ride, he sat out most of the 1969 and 1970 seasons before returning to Grands Prix in 1971 as a privateer, concentrating on the '250' class. His mount would be a production Yamaha TD2, developed under the direction of Dutch engineer, Ferry Brouwer, which featured an Eric Cheney frame; Brouwer-tuned engine; Helmut Fath dry clutch; and a Rod Quaife six-speed gearbox. Two similar machines were constructed over the winter of 1970/1971. With wins at the first three Grands Prix of the season, Phil went on to claim his fifth World Championship, beating reigning champion Rod Gould and his works supported Yamaha into 2nd place. Phil also won the Isle of Man Lightweight 250 TT that year at an average speed of 98.02mph, lapping at over 100mph. Phil continued to race the Brouwer machines during the 1972 World Championship season, winning the French Grand Prix and the Isle of Man TT on his way to 4th overall at the year's end. This special Yamaha TD2 comes with a signed letter from Phil Read confirming that it is his No. 2 bike from the 1971 season. Phil notes that this bike had Ceriani forks and the large Yamaha double-sided front brake, unlike the No. 1 bike, which sometimes featured disc brakes. The machine later found its way to Ireland where it was owned by Peter Herron (brother of the late Tom Herron), who sold it to collector Neville Morris in pieces. Neville had the Yamaha restored by former Grand Prix works mechanic Nigel Everett, and when his collection was sold the ex-Read Yamaha was purchased by Phil Morris. Not run since acquisition, the machine has been kept on display in Phil's Oswestry Road Racing Museum, although it has been loaned to Phil Read for shows on a couple of occasions. Offered with a history file, this beautiful TD2 represents a rare opportunity to own a machine commissioned and raced by one of the biggest Grand Prix stars of the day.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Registration No: F600 NAN Chassis No: WBAEC820908188007 MOT: April 2022Current ownership since 2014Desirable Highline specificationApproximately £1,260 expenditure at Moorland Classic Cars in June 2021Attractive colour of Dolphin GreySuccessor to the race-proven (E9) 3.0CS/CSi high-performance sports coupes, the 6-series was introduced in August 1976. More forgiving than its predecessors, it utilised a modified version of the (E12) 5-series saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension (coil and wishbone front, trailing-arm rear) and powerful disc brakes. A natural rival to the 928 and XJS, the four-seater 6-series proved more capacious than the Porsche and sportier than the Jaguar. Immediately recognisable thanks to its distinctive 'shark nose' frontal styling and thin pillared glasshouse it boasts real road presence. An impression backed up by the various versions of BMW's mighty M30, SOHC straight-six engine fitted throughout the range. Second only to the BMW Motorsport tuned M6 version, the 635CSi's 3430cc unit developed some 216bhp and 232lbft of torque (outputs that were reputedly sufficient to propel it from 0-60mph in 8.4 seconds and on to 135mph).This 635 CSi was manufactured in 1988 and was supplied new to the United Kingdom. Fitted with the 3430cc straight-six engine mated to the automatic transmission. Finished in the attractive colour combination of Dolphine Grey paintwork with Grey full-leather interior upholstery with electric Recaro sports seats. ‘F600 NAN’ has covered a total of 135,419 miles from new (at time of consignment), although only c.10,000 of those miles have been across the last fourteen years. Entering current ownership in 2014, the BMW has had ten former keepers. Last serviced at approximately 134,000 miles, the BMW has further benefitted from approximately £1,260 expenditure at Moorland Classic Cars in June 2021 and is offered with current V5C, a collection of invoices and past MOTs and an MOT certificate until April 2022.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: 'Very Good' Engine: 'Very Good' Electrical Equipment: 'Very Good' Paintwork: 'Good to Very Good' Gearbox: 'Excellent' Interior Trim: 'Very Good'Footnote: PLEASE NOTE: The vendor has informed us that his mechanic has noticed perishing on one of the engine mounts.

Registration No: GVT 646Chassis No: Y254735MOT: ExemptPLEASE NOTE: This lot is now offered with No ReserveOne of just 5 Martin Ford Specials known to have survivedSubject to restoration finishing in c.2016 and offered in British Racing Green with contrasting black interiorOffered with a number of documents including communications with Martin Plastics surrounding the purchase of the bodyIn the immediate post-war years and for quite some time afterwards, mainstream sports cars were simply beyond the fiscal reach of most enthusiasts and most new cars were destined for export. Because of this, the Specials (or Kit Car) movement was born. Frederick E. Martin became Martin Plastics Maidstone LTD in 1953, and are thought to be one of the first to offer glass-fibre shells, second only to R.G.S. Still trading today under Martin Coachworks Ltd, the company built approximately 500 cars, but only 5 are thought to have survived to this day.GVT 646 was registered in 1962 with the body purchased in 1956 and utilises a 1939 Ford Prefect as the donor car with a Ford 100E 1172cc sidevalve engine paired with twin SU carbs. Subject to restoration finishing c.2016, GVT comes accompanied with a number of historic invoices, informative documents and the V5C. The vendor rates the condition of the engine, electrical equipment, paintwork, transmission and gearbox and interior trim as ‘Good’, with the bodywork ‘Very good’.

Registration No: M124 XYB Chassis No: SDLDCC4P7SD011365 MOT: March 2022Only two former keepers and current ownership since 2018Retained by the first owner for approximately twenty yearsJust c.55,000 miles from newAccompanied by the original stamped service bookIntroduced at the 1992 Motor Show, the Chimaera was intended to be a more practical, user-friendly machine than the formidable Griffith. To this end, it sported a proper boot and a more cosseting interior. Power came from a variety of Rover V8-derived units, though, even the entry-level 4.0 litre was quoted as developing 240bhp/270lbft. The slowest of the range, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds, 0-100mph in 12.1 seconds and 152mph! Luckily all Chimaeras came with four-wheel disc brakes and a Quaife differential as standard.Manufactured in 1995, this Chimaera was supplied new by Station Hill Garage (SHG) TVR in Farnham and is fitted with the 4.0-litre V8 engine mated the five-speed manual transmission. Finished in Silver paintwork with Pine Green leather interior upholstery, the TVR has covered just c.55,000 miles, although is displaying 45,000 miles with a documented speedometer change by SHG in 1996 at approximately 10,000 miles. ‘M124 XYB’ was retained by the first owner for c.20 years and entered into current ownership in 2018 with just two former keepers at present.Since entering into current ownership, ‘M124 XYB’ has benefitted from a full engine and gearbox service, brake discs and pads, new carpets and additional work to the cost of approximately £1,200. The Chimaera is accompanied by a history file containing a large selection of MOT’s dating back to 1998; several past invoices; the original handbook displaying eleven entries (mostly from main dealers); two keys; and a current V5C.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: UXG 853JChassis No: LG302603596B5AMOT: ExemptRare opportunity to acquire ‘The most sought after Imp model’ offered showing just 55,052 miles on the odometer and 3 former keepers on the V5 documentIn current family ownership for the last 17 years and subject to restoration by its previous ownerPresented in burnt orange with contrasting black interior, and offered with no reserve The Sunbeam Stiletto is considered by many to be the most desirable, certainly the most sought after, Imp model. It combined the sleek coupé lines of the Californian and the engine of the Imp Sport. The new small saloon was launched in 1963 and built at a brand-new factory at Linwood, Scotland. It was co-designed by Michael Parkes, a development engineer for Ferrari, and one of its most notable features was the all-aluminium, high-revving overhead-cam engine mounted at the rear, based on the lightweight Coventry Climax racing engine. The Imp also boasted all-independent suspension, plus access to the luggage tray behind the rear seats via the opening rear window - a very early hatchback. An improved MkII version appeared in 1966, which did away with such oddities as the pneumatic throttle control. Sharp rack and pinion steering makes these true driver's cars, with a sprightly turn of speed thanks to a light weight of just 1560lbs. The Stiletto, introduced in 1967, is distinguished from its lesser brethren by a sloping coupe rear roofline (on these the rear window doesn't open) and quad headlights, while it used the Imp Sport engine, producing 55bhp at 6100rpm and giving 90mph and 0-50mph in just over 10 secs. Just 3,378 302 Series Stilettos were manufactured, making this a very rare proposition. Presented in burnt orange with contrasting black interior, UXG 853J is a rare opportunity to acquire one of these desirable models and was manufactured in 1970, making it one of the rarer 302 series models, and has been in current family ownership for the last 17 years. UXG 853J was restored by its late previous owner and has seen little use since. Showing only 55,052 miles and just 3 former keepers (1 of which being the late husband of the current owner), UXG 853J has recently benefited from a replacement brake master cylinder and come accompanied with a number of previous MOTs an invoices, as well as the V5 document. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment and paintwork as ‘Good’, the Transmission and gearbox as ‘Good to Very Good’ and the interior trim as ‘Very Good’.

Registration No: 430 XVKChassis No: BN1- L224662MOT: April 2022Supplied to the USA in left hand drive configurationFinished in desirable 'Ice Metallic Blue'Fitted with uprated '3000' front disk brakesDonald Healey's eponymous company built a prototype two-seater sports car for display at the 1952 London Motor Show. It was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and sported a notably sleek body designed by Gerry Coker and built by Tickford. It was dubbed the 'Healey Hundred' (a moniker chosen to reflect the car's ability to reach the magic 100mph), and, subject to a suitably encouraging response, Healey planned to build production versions in-house at his factory in Warwick. As things transpired, not only did the Ice Blue prototype more than impress the public, but also so excited Austin's Managing Director, Leonard Lord, that he struck a deal to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The newcomer was renamed the Austin-Healey 100/4. The rest, as they say, is history.The 100/4's chassis was a departure from the company's previous backbone designs and comprised a pair of three-inch square box-section side members running the length of the car, some 17 inches apart. These were braced by parallel and cruciform cross-members to which the steel floor pressings were attached. After the first 25 cars had been constructed at Healey's own premises in Warwick, the production of the mainstream bodyshells was turned over to Jensen. Once complete, the shells were transported to Longbridge, where the Healeys were assembled alongside the A90.The early examples (code named BN1s) were equipped with the same 90bhp 2660cc engines and manual four-speed transmissions as the A90 though, in an unusual move, Austin modified the gearbox so it operated as a three-speed unit with overdrive on the top two ratios. The car had 11-inch drum brakes all round. The front suspension was independent by coil springs while the rear featured a traditional live axle supported by semi-elliptic leaf springs. Damping was by Girling lever arm units all round and the steering was by cam and lever. A 1953 BN1 tested by Motor magazine returned a top speed of 106mph and achieved the 0-60mph dash in 11.2 seconds. A total of 10,688 BN1s are believed to have been produced between January 1953 and 1955 (the vast majority of which went overseas), when the model was superseded by the BN2.This BN1 on offer is an original left-hand drive USA export market example and was the subject of must previous restoration work, reportedly carried out to an exceptional standard more than twenty years ago. The 'Big' Healey is now finished in Ice Blue (having been colour changed from the original Spruce Green) and is trimmed in complementing Navy Blue leather - The vendor states "it was a frame-off restoration that showcased a full respray (including the floor pans). You would not be able to tell the car was a different colour from factory unless you had been told previously. The car has just had a brand new soft top fitted as well as brand new side screens in case you were to get caught out in a storm. It’s also just had 5 new radial tyres and tubes. It also sports a new upgraded single 12V battery instead of the standard 2x6v batteries. All electronics work as they should including the well know troublesome self-cancelling indicator and horn switch. The seats are leather, carpets look well as do the door cards. Possibly the biggest highlight of this car is its California history — it is basically rust free from body to frame."The vendor states that the odemeter reads 12,213 and assures us that '430 XVK' "drives as well as it looks". A rare opportunity for the ever-growing army of early 'Big' Healey collectors to purchase a vehicle equally suited to a relaxing drive in the UK countryside, but with subtle upgrades and a left-hand driving position to make it a serious contender for continental and long-distance rallying. It comes complete with photographic evidence of the restoration and extensive service and MOT history, plus a current certificate valid into April 2022.For more information, please contact:Adam Sykesadam.sykes@handh.co.uk07429600332

Based around a monocoque bodyshell equipped with all round independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and power-assisted steering, the newcomer was powered by a BMW-derived twin-turbocharged 4.4 litre V8 engine allied to five-speed automatic transmission. With some 350bhp and 420lbft of torque on tap, the luxury saloon was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds and 149mph. As befitted a Crewe built car, its interior was beautifully trimmed with the best quality leather and wood veneers. Reworked to accept Bentley’s venerable 6.75 litre V8 following Volkswagen’s takeover of Bentley in 1999, the number of BMW-powered Arnages was rather small with a mere 439 first series RHD examples being made.This first-series Arnage was manufactured in 1998 and was first registered in the UK on the 6th of June 1998 being supplied new by Ron Stratton and Co. Rolls-Royce and Bentley of Knutsford, Cheshire. Fitted with the 4398cc BMW turbocharged V8 engine mated to the five-speed automatic transmission, the Arnage is finished in Silver Pearl with a special order interior that encompasses a blend of Portland hide and English Tan leather sections throughout with medium tone woodwork. ‘R791 PHG’ has a total mileage of 144,776 miles from new (at time of consignment) although is showing approximately 71,000 miles following a documented speedometer change in 2004. First owned by Fredrick Dairies of Stockport and registered as ‘1 CES’, the Arnage is understood to have been chauffeur-driven during their ownership, where it was retained until 2010. With only three former keepers from new, the Arnage has been in its current custodianship since 2016.The Bentley benefitted from £2,646 worth of expenditure in 2016 with Shadow Vehicle Services including two new rear gas suspension spheres, electrical work and gear selector mechanism rectification. Well specified from new, ‘R791 PHG’ is accompanied by the full specification sheet along with the original book pack (including the stamped service book displaying fourteen stamps from main dealers and one further classic and specialist stamp) and a large selection of past invoices and MOT certificates. The Arnage is offered with a current V5C and MOT until August 2022.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: 'Good to Very Good’ Engine: 'Very Good' Electrical Equipment: 'Very Good' Paintwork: ‘Good to Very Good' Gearbox: 'Very Good' Interior Trim: 'Very Good'Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: CPH 747HChassis No: GHD5/203187GMOT: ExemptRestored example with much recent expenditureRHD 'home market' model, with manual transmission53,700 miles and just five former keepers from newOffered with a comprehensive history fileIntroduced in May 1962, the monocoque MG B was a welcome progression from the body-on-frame T-Series and MG A models that preceded it. The more modern construction resulted in weight savings (the car turned the scales at 2028lb), reduced manufacturing costs, and notably tauter handling. Initially, the B was only available in Roadster form - the Pininfarina-penned hatchback GT derivative with 2+2 seating not being offered until October 1965. At launch, the model was powered by a three-bearing version of the 1798cc B-Series engine that produced 95bhp at 5,400rpm. However, this unit was replaced by a five-bearing unit two years into production. The MKII model of 1967 brought an updated manual gearbox with revised ratios and synchromesh on all gears, as well as the option of a Borg-Warner automatic unit. Other changes included a revised rear axle and a switch from dynamos to alternators. In 1969, Rostyle wheels replaced the previous pressed steel version for a standard fit. With the MKIII derivative of 1972 came a new fascia and improved heater. However, the biggest visual change in the car's history occurred two years later when steel-reinforced plastic bumpers replaced the chrome ones and the ride height was raised by one inch. By the time GT production ceased in 1980, a total of 125,282 are said to have been produced, a large proportion of which are still providing good service today.This right-hand drive UK-market MG B GT was manufactured in 1970 and first registered in June of that year. Finished in Bronze Yellow, the striking coupe is complemented by a black vinyl interior and powered by the 1798cc straight-four engine, mated to a manual gearbox. Previously the subject of much expenditure (including most recently by TR Bitz of Cheshire), the car was treated to floors and nearside jacking points/outriggers during March 2009.

Registration No: Un-Reg Chassis No: 53798 MOT: Exempt Entered from a private collection and one of only circa 500 madeHistory file with a letter confirming long-term prior family ownership and verifying the recorded mileage of only 35,000.Benefitting from a decade of restoration works during the vendors' ownership, overseen by their own expert in-house mechanicThe process including a full bodywork restoration and repaint, a re-trim and hood replacement, £4000 plus gearbox refurbishment, etc bills and photographs present. ‘LLD 11’ was manufactured in 1950 and originally supplied to its first owner via Hoopers of London. The second owner purchased the Daimler in 1967, it was then used to transport the local mayor to functions etc until going into storage during 1979. The DB18 remained unused within the same family until it was sold in 2008 and was subsequently purchased (through Bonhams) by the vendor. This information is detailed in a letter from a family member then supplied with the car and still present in the history file. This letter also confirms the wholly credible low mileage of only 35000 to be correct.The current owner's restoration process began in 2009 with a complete body strip down and refurbishment prior to being fully repainted in its handsome 'coffee and cream' livery (restoration pictures on file). Then followed a total retrim in cream leather and the supply and fitting of a replacement convertible hood. The cloth interior of the driver's side 'dash cubby' has suffered some minor age-related deterioration, otherwise the interior seats, carpets and woodwork are all in fine order. The vendor is currently searching for one or two invoices to fully complete the history file which also contains a copy of the owner’s handbook. During a detailed pre-sale 'in-house' preparation process, the underside of the car has been fully cleaned and undersealed. This process confirmed that ‘LLD 11’ is structurally sound but could require attention to signs of minor corrosion at the rear of both rear wheel arches and at the junction of the driver's side of floor and front sill in due course. The car has been started and run at regular intervals without incident, including when the photographs were taken. The engine and refurbished pre-selector transmission are said to be in ‘excellent order’ and bear further testament to the incredibly low advised mileage. It seems a little churlish to highlight minor body imperfections etc on a vehicle that's over 70 years old but accuracy is paramount. As a colleague who joined me when I viewed ‘LLD 11’ remarked, the car is in remarkable condition throughout for its age, has a detailed documented history, and must be one of the lowest mileage examples of this rare Marque available.Footnote: PLEASE NOTE: This lot is not currently UK road registered with the DVLA. However, the Daimler is accompanied by an old-style V5 Registration Document which might well enable it to be reunited with its original registration number of 'LLD 11' For more information, please contact:Paul Bruhin-Priceinfo@handh.co.uk07860 534637

Traditionally well-appointed, the Sceptre was initially based on the Super Minx from Hillman and intended to be a replacement for the Sunbeam Rapier, explaining the more modern and sportier design. The Mk III of 1967 formed part of the Rootes ‘Arrow’ range of motor cars and was one of the finest of the four models offered, with brightwork on the rear panel and wheel arches, a wood veneer dashboard and vinyl roof. Just under 44000 Mk III’s were produced before Chrysler purchased the Rootes Group and rebadged certain Hillman models in 1976.This Mk.III Sceptre was manufactured in 1976 and was first registered in the United Kingdom on the 1st of June 1976. Fitted with the 1725cc straight-four engine mated to the four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive on third and fourth, the Humber is finished in Gold metallic with Light Brown velour interior upholstery and wood trim. ‘OLC 477P’ displays approximately 54,000 miles, which is thought genuine and has had only four owners from new, entering current ownership in 2016.Benefitting from much recent improvement, the Humber has received a new vinyl roof; Spax adjustable shock absorbers and electronic ignition. Further provided with a reconditioned steering box by Holman Engineering in Surrey last year and re-lacquered door cappings and central console by PK Veneeering in Crewe. ‘OLC 477P’ is offered with a large history file that comprises the previous service history, a selection of invoices and a current V5C.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: 'Very Good’ Engine: 'Very Good' Electrical Equipment: 'Average' Paintwork: ‘Average' Gearbox: 'Good' Interior Trim: 'Very Good'Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

The MG is finished in maroon and white two-tone paint, with cream leather interior upholstery. In previous long-term ownership between 1995 and 2013, the MG YA was restored in 2013. The restoration comprised bodywork remediation; repaint; wheel refurbishing; brakes overhaul; engine reconditioning and attention to the clutch. Understood to have covered just 17,380 miles from new (at time of consignment) and is offered with paperwork relating to the restoration and a current V5C showing five former keepers. Fitted with additional indicators on the rear for safety, the original trafficators are still in working order.Model Information:Introduced in 1947, the Y type saloon was an important car for MG. Boasting an all-new welded box-section chassis (later adapted for use on the marque's TD / TF sportscars) its sophisticated coil-and-wishbone independent front suspension was the work of Sir Alec Issigonis and MG draughtsman Jack Daniels. Equipped with rack and pinion steering, a four-speed manual gearbox and hydraulic drum brakes as standard, it was powered by the same 1250cc XPAG four-cylinder engine as the TC Midget sports car. Said to develop some 46bhp and 58.5lbft of torque, the single SU carburettor fed unit reputedly endowed the model with a 71mph top speed. Elegantly understated, the four-door saloon's handsome lines were the work of Gerald Palmer. Benefiting from a well-appointed cabin, the YA remained in production until 1951 (by which time some 6,158 are thought to have been sold).Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

The fastback Coupe was intended to do for Europe what the Mustang had done for the USA - ie it was our 'pony' car, and would have been called Colt had Mitsubishi not bagged the name first. The monocoque body featured independent front suspension by MacPherson strut and a live axle with leaf springs at the rear. Worthwhile improvements came with the MKII models of 1974 and the quadruple headlamp MKIII cars introduced in 1978. Then in 1981 the venerable 3-litre Essex-engined variant was dropped in favour of the 2.8 Injection model - a single car range powered by the lusty fuel-injected 2.8-litre Cologne V6. Power rose to 160bhp and, soon after launch, the old four-speed gearbox was replaced with a more contemporary five-speed one. Ford now had a stylish four-seat Coupe with performance capable of shaming rivals costing four times the money - it could hit 60mph in 7.8 seconds and top 130mph flat out. Capris have become hot property and many enthusiasts regard the 2.8-litre injection cars as the best of the bunch.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: ‘Very Good'Engine: ‘Very Good'Electrical Equipment: 'Very Good'Paintwork: 'Good'Gearbox: 'Very Good'Interior Trim: 'Very Good'Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

One of the most popular models in the E30 lineup was the 318i which initially had a 105bhp M10 four-cylinder engine until 1987. Arguably better balanced than the larger-engined six-cylinder models, it was arguably the car to have in the late Eighties when it became known as the ‘poor man's M3’. Widely regarded as superb driving machines, good examples of the 318i are still sought after today.Manufactured in 1986, this 318i was supplied new to the UK through Clock Garage BMW of Accrington and was first registered to Padiham Cotton & Cotton Waste Co. of Burnley. Passing to the second owner who retained it from 1987 until 2009, the BMW has had just five owners from new. Fitted with the 1766cc straight-four engine mated to the five-speed manual transmission.

Registration No: WN 722Chassis No: 53513MOT: ExemptPowered by the reliable 747cc four-cylinder engine coupled to the correct early three-speed gearboxAn ideal candidate for VSCC eventsPreviously restored to a high standardApparently inspired by the Peugeot Quadrilette, the now immortal Austin Seven was announced in 1922. It is amazing to think that its tiny splash-lubricated 696cc (soon increased to 747cc) engine was the design of an 18-year old draughtsman called Stanley Edge, and the Seven immediately became the smallest four cylinder-engined car on the British market. It featured four-wheel brakes, suspension by semi-elliptic transverse spring at the front, quarter elliptic units at the rear and steering was by a worm and wheel system. Taken to heart by the British public, the Seven remained in production from 1922 until 1939, during which time some 290,000 were produced. It was also manufactured under licence in France, Germany, Japan and America. As with any car whose running gear seems unbreakable, many examples were plundered by special builders (Colin Chapman's first Lotus was based on an Austin Seven) or simply run into the ground. The remaining cars are a vital element of the vintage movement. Through all its variations and evolutions, it is perhaps in the guise of Chummy Tourer that the model is most fondly remembered. Continuing spares availability and a plethora of enthusiastic clubs mean that owning a Chummy in the 21st Century is still a practical proposition (as well as being a great entry into the Vintage Sports Car Club).The 1928 example offered here is finished in blue with black wings and complemented by black interior trim/weather gear. It's powered by the reliable 747cc four-cylinder engine coupled to the correct early three-speed gearbox. 'WN 722' is evidently a subject of much previous restoration work, prior to being placed in long term storage by the previous custodian in his heated and carpeted garage.Produced in Tourer, Saloon, Cabriolet, Sports, Coupe and Van form, the Seven was all things to all men between the two world wars and beyond, and rightly reserved its place alongside the Model T Ford, Volkswagen Beetle and Morris Minor as one of the most popular cars ever produced. Only offered for sale to fund the final stages of restoration to its more contemporary stablemate, this venerable Chummy is offered completely without reserve and is UK registered with a current V5c document.For more information, please contact:Adam Sykesadam.sykes@handh.co.uk07429600332

The Model A was offered in a wide variety of body styles and was the first Ford to incorporate the standard set of driver controls with a conventional clutch, brake pedal, accelerator and gearchange. Shortly after the launch of the car came new trucks, namely the Model A and the 1½ ton Model AA. Built on a steel chassis with a 131 ½” wheelbase, the AA was fitted with stronger transverse leafsprings. In 1929 a four-speed manual gearbox became standard. High pressure pneumatic tyres were used all round, as were mechanical drum brakes. Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Fruit of the growing partnership between Donald Healey and Austin's Leonard Lord, its design costs were kept to a minimum through some inspired BMC parts bin raiding. Built around a lightweight monocoque, it combined the Austin A35's independent front suspension and four-speed gearbox. Powered by a twin-carburettor fed 948cc A-series four-cylinder engine developing some 43bhp and 52lbft of torque, it was capable of over 80mph.

With a reputed 71bhp and 82lbft of torque on tap from its 1493cc OHV four-cylinder engine, the newcomer boasted genuine 100mph performance. Visually indistinguishable from its MKIV forebear save for some minor trim differences, the Spitfire 1500 was a decent seller on both sides of the Atlantic and the model remained in production until August 1980.This Spitfire 1500 was manufactured in 1977 and was UK-supplied, being first registered in the UK on the 1st of July 1977. Fitted with the 1493cc straight-four engine, the engine was originally mated to the four-speed manual gearbox although the transmission was changed to a five-speed Sierra Type 9 gearbox with revised bell housing when the car was restored approximately fifteen years previous. The restoration additionally included an overhauled chassis, body removal with many welding repairs (with new rear wings, sills, floor sections, door skins and rear valance) followed by a repaint in the Inca Yellow it is presented in today (from the original Green). The Triumph was further subject to an engine overhaul; reconditioned steering rack, renewed brakes with GT6 front calipers; poly-bushed front suspension with the whole car lowered by 20mm; and various new additional items such as reconditioned twin-SU HS2 carburettors and much more.With a recorded mileage of 10,701 miles (at time of consignment) which equates to a total of 110,701 miles, the Spitfire has been in current ownership since 2015. Further benefitting from new electronic ignition and fan while with the vendor, the carburettors have also been provided new needles. ‘PDY 508R’ is offered with a history file which comprises a photo album and digital record of the restoration; a large selection of past MOTs dating back to the 1990s; a vast collection of previous invoices and current V5C.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

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.

Entering the current ownership in 2006, the two-seater was painstakingly restored over the next fifteen years utilising a brand-new Heritage bodyshell. The engine was re-bored and fitted with a new timing chain, pistons, bearings and seals etc plus an unleaded cylinder head. The fuel, brake, steering and suspension systems were all overhauled with new or refurbished parts as necessary. The wiring was renewed and the interior re-trimmed. Subtly enhanced with a stainless steel exhaust, hi-torque starter motor, Lumenition electronic ignition, Evans waterless coolant and K&N air filters, ‘EUK 2J’ rides on Minilite-style alloy wheels. The work is understood to have cost nearly £33,000 and as a result the MG B Roadster is described by the vendor as being in ‘excellent overall’ condition with regards to its 1.8 litre engine, four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork.

The model's typically sophisticated design of multi-link rear suspension resulted in an excellent handling/ride compromise, while its drag coefficient of 0.28 was one of the lowest of any car on sale at the time. It also featured many items of advanced technology - eg its single windscreen wiper with eccentric pivot, and its exhaust oxygen sensor. The line-up of petrol engines ranged in size from 2.0 to 5.0-litres and diesel ones from 2.0 to 3.0-litres. Though initially only available in Saloon guise, the offering was gradually expanded to include an Estate and Coupe. The two-door Cabriolet was the final addition, being offered with 3.2-litre (E320) six-cylinder engine from 1991. A 2.2-litre (E220) version was added to the mix two years later. The pair remained in production long after their Saloon and Estate siblings had been replaced by the new W210, ie until the launch of the CLK Cabriolet in 1998. The E220's engine produced some 148bhp and 155lbft of torque - sufficient to power the Cabriolet version to 62mph in around 11 seconds and on to a top speed of some 125mph. The Cabriolets sold well throughout production, being almost unique in the market as full four-seaters.This E220 Cabriolet was manufactured in 1995 and was first supplied new to the UK being registered on the 1st of January 1995. Fitted with the 2199cc straight-four M111 engine mated to the four-speed automatic gearbox, the Mercedes-Benz is finished in Malachite Green with a Green mohair hood and complematary Cream interior upholstery and wood trim. ‘M189 TMS’ has covered approximately 131,000 miles from new and has had only five former keepers, entering current ownership in 2018 and being in the previous custodianship from 2008 until that date.The Cabriolet was subject to an extensive body restoration in 2012 to the cost of approximately £5,200 which comprised new doors, the removal of any corrosion, respray and wheel refurbishment. Further provided with a new hood (by Pete Lenton to the cost of £1,065) in 2014, additional works included a full exhaust system, rear brake calipers and pads and other remediation work to the cost of £1,410 in the same year. The original book pack accompanying the car includes the stamped service book which illustrates nineteen stamps, seven from Mercedes-Benz main dealers and five specialist stamps, with the most recent entry from TOWIW123, W123 specialists at 130,682 miles in May 2021. ‘M189 TMS’ is offered with a history file that comprises a selection of past MOTs and invoices and a current V5C.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: UVS 951 Chassis No: HDA43/64588 MOT: Exempt Supplied new to the United States of America before being repatriated in 1987An older restored example that has been converted to right-hand driveSpecified from new with wire wheels, heater and adjustable steering columnAccompanied by history file including BMIHT Heritage CertificateThe Syd Enever-designed MGA was a breath of fresh air for the Abingdon marque, as it replaced the last of the venerable T Series cars, whose origins dated all the way back to the TA of 1936. Launched at the 1955 Frankfurt Motor Show, it featured a separate chassis penned by Roy Brocklehurst and was powered by the 1489cc straight-four BMC B Series engine. The suspension was independent with coil springs at the front and by live axle hung on semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear. Braking was by Lockheed drums all-round, and steering was by rack and pinion.Manufactured in 1959, this MGA was dispatched on the 5th of March 1959 to North America in left-hand drive form. Fitted with the 1500cc straight-four engine mated to the four-speed manual gearbox, the Roadster was originally finished in Black with Red interior trim. Specified from new with wire wheels, a heater and an adjustable steering column, the MG is presented today in the complementary colour scheme of White with Black interior upholstery and hood. Repatriated to the UK from America in 1987, ‘UVS 951’ has since been converted to right-hand drive specification.An older restored example, the MGA was the beneficiary of a comprehensive engine overhaul in 1994 to the cost of over £2,700, with much further improvement completed around 2012. Entering the current custodianship in 2018, the MG has a traceable ownership history back to 1993 with just four keepers since that time including the vendor. Accompanied by a history file which includes a selection of invoices, sixteen past MOT certificates, BMIHT Heritage Certificate and a current V5C.Footnote: PLEASE NOTE: This lot is leaking fuel when running.

Registration No: TSY 101Chassis No: 206E/274704MOT: ExemptThe subject of a photographically documented restoration some ten years agoJust emerged from a glass out respray and looking very smartDesirable 'Low Line' model and one of just 92 surviving Zephyr/Zodiac MKIIs currently known to the DVLAAcquired by its last registered keeper in 2011, ‘TSY 101’ was treated to an extensive, photographically documented restoration thereafter. Finished in Black over White with White upholstery, the Ford has recently had its paintwork refreshed and so presents very nicely. The brightwork is in good order too. Mechanically standard, the 2.6-litre straight-six engine is allied to three-speed manual transmission with a column gearshift. Surviving Zodiac MKII Saloons are few and far between these days which is a shame given what stylish yet practical classics they are. Imbued with a large dose of transatlantic glamour, ‘TSY 101’ is accompanied by a V5C Registration Document, sundry paperwork and the aforementioned restoration images.The Zodiac name was first seen on a Ford at the 1953 Earls Court Motor Show. From day one it denoted the top of the range model – above its siblings, the Consul and Zephyr. The trio were completely restyled in 1956, and the much bigger glass area, tail fins and optional two-tone paint schemes had a heavy American influence. The newcomers were quite a bit larger than their predecessors, with the wheelbase increased by 3 inches to 107 inches and the overall width stretched to 69 inches. With bench seats front and rear, these Fords would comfortably seat up to six adults and had boots to match. The six cylinder in-line engines of the Zephyr and Zodiac were increased in capacity to 2553cc to give an output of 86bhp. This was sufficient to allow a 0-60mph time of 17.9 seconds and a top speed of almost 90mph – lively performance for a largish family car of the period. The engine was either paired with a three-speed, column-change manual gearbox (for which overdrive was an option) or a Borg Warner automatic unit. Suspension was independent at the front with MacPherson struts and coil springs and a live axle at the rear suspended on semi-elliptic leaf springs. Braking was initially by drums all round, but front discs became optional in 1960 and standard the following year. The Mark II reigned for six years, during which time 294,506 Zephyrs and Zodiacs were produced.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: POL 506MChassis No: GD2D1816GMOT: May 2022Genuine, chrome bumper V8 that was originally finished in Blaze Orange with Black upholstery and supplied new via T. Startin Ltd of AstonOld MOTs and invoices on file dating back to 1979 and current registered keeper since 1998Treated to an extensive restoration by Peter Green Motors Ltd during the late 1980s / early 1990s According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis GD2D1816G was built between October 12th and November 28th 1973 and despatched to dealer T. Startin Ltd of Aston, Birmingham early the following month. Finished in Blaze Orange with Black upholstery, the 2+2-seater’s original specification also included overdrive and cast alloy wheels. A handwritten log on file chronicles the MG’s ownership history from new until late 1994, while other paperwork and photos show that it was treated to a top-end engine overhaul, four new wings, replacement inner / outer sills, re-trimmed interior, stainless steel exhaust, repaint and reconditioned gearbox by Peter Green Motors Ltd during the late 1980s / early 1990s. Acquired by its current registered keeper twenty-three years ago, ‘POL 506M’ has been regularly maintained and MOT tested since then. Passing its most recent MOT test on 12th May 2021, the 2+2-seater was entrusted to A&J Halliday Automobile Engineers during September this year for the fitment of eight new spark plugs and a partial carburettor overhaul. Rated by the vendor as being in ‘very good overall’ condition with regards to its V8 engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork, he further tells us that the MG ‘drives very well’. A genuine, ‘chrome bumper’ car, this appealing B GT V8 is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.Created by Mini racer turned car tuner Ken Costello, the first Rover V8-engined MGB appeared in 1970. Suitably impressed, the Abingdon manufacturer began work on an 'official' version the following year. Introduced in August 1973, the resultant MGB GT V8 looked disarmingly standard. Borrowing its four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox and rear-end transmission from the six-cylinder MGC (but doing without that model's 'power bulge' bonnet thanks to the use of a special low-rise exhaust manifold), it utilised the same monocoque bodyshell and suspension layout as the four-cylinder MGB (their respective powerplants being near identical in weight). Thus, although it necessitated a modified bulkhead, raised ride height, bespoke gear ratios and upgraded front disc brakes, the installation of the all-alloy 3528cc Rover V8 proved relatively straightforward. Credited with 137bhp and 193lbft of torque, the Buick-derived unit imbued the MGB with a hitherto unknown level of performance. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.7 seconds and 124mph, the MGB GT V8 was favourably received by the contemporary motoring press. Only in production for three years, a mere 2,591 are thought to have been made.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: SKR 730GChassis No: 1R10931MOT: ExemptOffered with Heritage certificate and current V5cMatching chassis and engine numbers plus manual gearboxDispatched to British Leyland, New York on the 24th October 1969Originally finished in BRG with Cinnamon interiorSaid to 'run and 'drive' however in need of recommissioningTriumphantly unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore thanks to its supercar performance, stunning looks and modest price tag. Early racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement the newcomer's reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame, the E-type's combination of all-around independent suspension and disc brakes allied to rack-and-pinion steering resulted in excellent roadholding and handling capabilities. The indomitable straight-six XK twin-cam engine supplied abundant power. If the design had an Achilles' heel then it was the recalcitrant Moss gearbox. However, Jaguar was quick to correct this shortcoming with a four-speeder of its own design just part of a continual programme of E-Type development that saw the model metamorphose through three Series. Introduced in August 1968, the Series II cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements. Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. Available in open two-seater, fixed-head two-seater and fixed-head 2+2-seater guises, the American market accounted for the vast majority of Series II production.

Registration No: LWT 406HChassis No: BA96JR73548MOT: ExemptFinished in Blue Mink metallicAn ideal candidate for circuit racing, hillclimb or touring eventsBuilt into its current high specification in Oregon, USA during 2002The Cortina was Ford's mass-market compact car and sold extremely well. It was produced in five generations, the Mk. I through to the Mk. V although officially the last one was called the Cortina 80. With variants of the Cortina reaching sales of over one million, each successive model proved more popular than its predecessor. Such was its fame in the UK, that the Poet Laureate at the time, Sir John Betjeman, included it in one of his poems: ‘I am a young executive. No cuffs than mine are cleaner; I have a Slimline briefcase and I use the firm's Cortina.’ In response to the huge success of the Mini, Ford responded not with a small car but with a larger family offering which they could sell in large numbers. The result was the Cortina; a distinctively styled car aimed at buyers of the Morris Oxford and Vauxhall Victor, launched on 20th September 1962. With eye-catching modern styling, it was originally branded as the Consul Cortina until a modest facelift in 1964, after which, it was sold simply as the Cortina but with four trim levels; Standard, Deluxe, Super and GT.Starting life as a June 1969 Dagenham-built Ford Cortina 1500 GT, this car was built into its current configuration in Oregon, USA during 2002. Starting with an "immaculate, rust-free, undamaged bodyshell", it was first taken to the track by its builder and the current vendor - a well respected engine builder on both sides of the pond. Currently fitted with a 'fresh' all-steel, FIA-legal Lotus Twin-Cam of 1598cc with twin 45 DCOE carbs, putting out an estimated 168bhp, this professionally-built and extremely well-specified competition car is offered with a pre-sale estimate that’s a fraction of the build cost.The paint is an unusual choice for a Lotus Cortina - Blue Mink Metallic, but perhaps more importantly, the panels onto which it’s applied are remarkably straight and show no signs of filler or corrosion (meaning an easy conversion to a fast-road showcar is certainly an option for the purchaser). The windows are polycarbonate, with a sliding panel in the driver’s side and also pull-out vents in the rear screen to encourage a bit of through-flow on hot days. The door mirrors are lightweight plastic items and there is a battery cut-off switch on the car’s right-rear hip. The car is de-bumpered and the original fuel-filler in the rear panel has been welded up and skilfully blended into the surrounding bodywork (the only touch of filler on the car apparently) leaving the filler for the fuel cell in the boot. The front screen is still glass and the car rides on 6x13 Compomotive Minilite-style wheels and road legal tyres.At the back, there’s a small racing battery in the right side-well of the boot and a large long-distance fuel cell in the centre. Fuel is moved via a Facet-type electronic pump mounted to an inner wheel arch and there are also steel reinforcing plates for the axle-locating links and the Panhard rod. It’s remarkable to see factory spotwelds and seam sealer under the paint - the shell has survived amazingly well. The cabin is not as ruthlessly stripped as some tin-top racers and all the better for it, with custom-made door cards, an intact full-width dash and period-looking sports steering wheel. The twin racing seats (currently fixed, not sliding) are FIA-approved, but the harnesses will need replacing with in-date items. Peer under the steering column and you’ll find an ingenious braking bias bar. It works with a pair of master cylinders he’s installed, one for the front brakes and one for the back, and so can be tweaked quite easily between outings until you hit perfection.There is a Safety Devices half-cage installed; this will need to be upgraded to a full cage for British and European circuit events but the front half remains available from Safety Devices and the existing rear half already has brackets to accept it. There’s a fire extinguisher fixed to the cage behind the drivers seat - once again, depending on the type of competition, the next owner may need to replace it with one that’s plumbed to a nozzle in the engine bay.Starting and running well during our recent photography session, 'LWT 406H' bursts into life almost immediately with a loud, rapid crackle to be expected from a race-specification engine. There’s only one small silencer in the side-exit exhaust system which may require further baffling to ensure the car complys with some strict UK circuit noise tests.The engine is built to a high no expense spared specification with a forged crankshaft and conrods, forged aluminium pistons and large valves, plus full race cams. The eye-catching BRM cam cover is one of a short run that our vendor had cast from the original pattern; the engine bay also housing a strut brace and a large alloy radiator / oil cooler (originally to cope with Californian heat). The gearbox is a Ford Type 9 five-speed with Quaife internals and the suspension has been substantially altered to race standard. At the front, stiffer springs and damping, a 1-in anti-roll bar on alloy mounts and adjustable track control arms. At the rear, the axle location is controlled by a pair of rose-jointed links going back to mountings on the boot floor and by a Panhard rod, set up to lower the rear axle’s roll centre. There are custom-made leaf springs. The car runs a plated limited-slip differential and at the front, vented disc brakes. The original invoice from 2002 detailing the build specification is in the file (from our vendor to the original customer), along with a couple of other invoices paid by the first owner and communication between him and the FIA enquiring about technical points. There’s also the car’s logbook from the Society of Vintage Racing Enthusiasts (SOVREN) in America detailing the car’s chassis number, the inspector’s comments and a couple of ‘OK to race’ sign-offs from April and May 2002.This 'Super Saloon' offers a very realistic and potentially competitive entry into Historic Motor Sport, but would also be equally at home for fast-road use and touring.For more information, please contact:Adam Sykes07429600332adam.sykes@handh.co.uk

Registration No: ABR 7BChassis No: 18335HD - 11665MOT: ExemptA recent garage discovery, following a period of dry storageSaid to "start and run well", however "the clutch will require attention"Evidently the subject of much past restoration workLast used on the road in 2018Based on a design exercise by the Swedish-born Pelle Petterson whilst working at Frua, the Volvo P1800 sports car was officially unveiled at the January 1960 Brussels Salon. Not entering production for a year, the newcomer's sleek two-door monocoque bodyshell was equipped with independent front suspension, a coil-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc / drum brakes. Powered by a 1782cc OHV four-cylinder engine breathing through twin SU carburettors, allied to a four-speed manual gearbox, it was capable of over 100mph. The P1800 was immortalised in the 1960s TV series 'The Saint' starring the late Roger Moore.Finished in Black with Black upholstery, this rare right-hand drive UK market coupe displays just over 91,000 miles on the odometer. Treated to an extensive cosmetic restoration approximately ten years ago, H&H are indebted to the vendor for providing us with the following description. "This car has been owned by me since 2007 and only had one custodian before then. The bodywork was professionally restored (including a colour change from red to black), with much of the exterior metal re-chromed where possible or replaced where not, (however the plating is now sadly flaking in places). The interior was re-trimmed with black leather and much work was carried out to the instrumentation including replacement of the clock with digital display - these are a common problem on these cars. The dashboard is original and uncracked (again unusual), whilst all interior trim is complete. The door seals have been replaced, and mechanically the car was fully gone through, including fitment of a rebuilt and up-rated B20 replacement engine mated to a complete sports exhaust system (also benefitting from overdrive transmission). Riding on Bilstein shock absorbers and lowered springs all around (with new suspension bushes), 'ABR 7B' also benefits from a new fuel tank, fuel lines and rebuilt carburettors." Sadly, the car has not seen any use in the past five years and will now require recomissioning and some TLC.Receipts for all mechanical work are included and the car is sold with a current UK V5c document. This appealing P1800S is described by the vendor as being in ‘very good’ condition with regards to its chassis and bodywork, 'good' with regard to its electrical equipment, interior trim and bodywork, whilst he rates the chrome work and paintwork as 'average'.For more information, please contact:Adam Sykesadam.sykes@handh.co.uk07429600332

Registration No: JC 4435Chassis No: A/EB263186MOT: ExemptCurrent registered keeper since 19661 of only c.800 made and a rare survivorThe subject of much past restoration work and comes with a bench seat for three-up motoring! PLEASE NOTE: The chassis number for this lot as it appears on the accompanying continuation logbook is A/EB263186 (with the ‘AEB’ prefix identifying it as a ‘Nippy’ model). However, the chassis number which is listed on its V5C Registration Document has been transposed to AEB963186. The engine currently fitted is a three-bearing crank unit and not original to the chassisThe stampings on the accompanying continuation logbook are a little indistinct but it appears that the current registered keeper acquired this delightful Nippy in 1966. A true Seven enthusiast, he fitted a bench seat for three-up motoring but the past fifty-five years have only seen 10,000 miles or so added to the odometer! First registered in Caernarvonshire on 12th March 1937 (or so its ‘JC 4435’ number plate would imply), the Austin had migrated to Yorkshire by the 1960s. Fitted with a replacement engine that same decade, it is nicely detailed throughout with a badge bar, wooden dashboard, carpeted boot and rear-mounted spare wheel. The snug hood is complimented by sidescreens and wind deflectors. A rare survivor coming from long-term ownership, this wonderful Nippy is described by the vendor as being in ‘good overall’ condition with regards to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. Offered for sale with continuation logbook, V5C Registration Document and bucket seats.Brainchild of Herbert Austin and Stanley Edge, the Austin Seven looked almost impossibly small when launched in 1922. Occupying the same 'footprint' as a motorcycle and sidecar combination, it nevertheless boasted all the advantages of a 'full-size' motor car. Responsible for helping motorise Britain while simultaneously sounding the cyclecar industry's death knell, the baby Austin was brilliantly yet simply engineered. Based around an 'A-frame' chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and a spiral bevel back axle, it was powered by a sewing machine-esque 747cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine allied to three-speed (later four-speed) manual transmission. An evolution of the Type EB ‘65’ which itself had been inspired by the legendary Type EA Sports ‘Ulster’, the Type AEB ‘Nippy’ arrived during 1934. Visually near identical to its immediate predecessor with the same low-slung stance and distinctive rounded tail, the newcomer was predominantly bodied in steel over an ash frame (though, early cars utilised the same aluminium panelling as the Type EB ‘65’). Powered by a tuned engine allied to four-speed manual transmission and benefiting from a lowered centre of gravity, the Type AEB ‘Nippy’ proved an amusingly brisk and chuckable sports car. Phased out in 1937, total ‘Nippy’ production is thought to have amounted to just c.800 cars.Footnote: PLEASE NOTE: The chassis number for this lot as it appears on the accompanying continuation logbook is A/EB263186 (with the ‘AEB’ prefix identifying it as a ‘Nippy’ model).

Registration No: AUV 980Chassis No: GZL61MOT: ExemptSupplied new to Mrs. G Hamilton1 of just 22 Rolls-Royce 20/25 chassis to be fitted with the highly desirable Owen Sedanca coachworkCurrent ownership since 1994 The London coachbuilder J. Gurney Nutting & Co Ltd’s luring of designer A.F. McNeil away from the shipbuilder Cunard was instrumental in it being appointed ‘Motor Body Builders to His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales’ during 1931. Possessed of a fabulous sense of proportion and a real eye for detail, McNeil penned some of the 1930s most elegant coachwork for Rolls-Royce, Bentley and even Duesenberg chassis. Reputedly built to the specifications of London Rolls-Royce dealer Captain H.R. Owen, his so-called ‘Owen Sedanca’ design for the Rolls-Royce 20/25 chassis was a case in point. Singularly graceful, it attracted commissions from the likes of King George V’s three sons and Prince Ali Khan, the husband of film star Rita Hayworth.One of just twenty-two Rolls-Royce 20/25s to be clothed with Gurney Nutting’s highly prized Owen Sedanca coachwork, chassis GLZ61 was supplied new to Mrs G. Hamilton for touring usage. Little is known of the Three-Position Drophead Coupe’s subsequent history before its re-emergence in Louisiana during the 1980s. Repatriated by Martin Sargeant of the renowned marque specialist Sargeants of Gourdhurst, the 20/25 has been in the current ownership since August 1994. Looked after by Martin and then his sons until the company that bore their name stopped trading, the Rolls-Royce is said to ‘run and drive very well’. Recently recommissioned after five years’ dry storage including the fitment of a reconditioned cylinder head (new valves, springs, seals and guides etc), ‘AUV 980’ is described thus by the seller: ‘The car “scrubs up well” but would benefit from remedial renovation work. The paint work is cracked in places, due to over painting, with the odd bit of flaking. The interior is rather tired with the leather on the cushions of the front seats needing recovering. Rear leather work is intact’. A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most sought-after pre-WW2 ‘small’ Rolls-Royces ever made. Offered for sale with V5 Registration Document, copy RREC build records and ‘lots of invoices for servicing and some repair work’.Footnote: PLEASE NOTE: The vendor informs us that he has recently notified the DVLA of a change of address and is waiting for a new V5C Registration Document to be sent to him. He also tells us that the majority of the Rolls-Royce's history file is currently in storage and will be forwarded to a successful purchaser. Finally, he advises us that the reconditioned cylinder head will need torquing down in due course and that the coolant system will require anti-freeze. The 20/25 pleasingly retains its original engine (numbered 'Q6X') and bootlid-mounted tool kit. The vendor rates the car as follows: engine (very good), interior trim (poor to average), gearbox (good), electrical equipment (good), bodywork (good) and paintwork (poor to average).For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: YFC 533VChassis No: XE2D2-642701AMOT: T.B.A1275GT based track specification mini, benefiting from Garrett turbocharged 1340cc uprated engine, roll cage, performance dash and extinguisher systemBenefited from engine overhaul in October of 2014 at a cost of £3,606 and comes accompanied with over £43,000 in invoicesIn Current ownership for the last 7 years and offered with just 12,595 milesLaunched in the summer of 1959 as Sir Alec Issigonis's sideswipe at the bubble car which had swept through Europe in the late 1950s, the Mini was truly a revolutionary car. Packing a remarkable amount of interior space into its 10ft length by placing its 'A' series engine sideways from 'east to west' in the engine bay, the practicalities which had dominated its design concept seemed almost accidentally to produce a small car which on its rubber-cone suspension and 10-inch wheels was remarkable fun to drive. The Mini's rapid acceptance amongst the elite as 'the' car to be seen in soon saw ig dislodging the Ford Anglia to become the best selling car in the UK and has since become one of the most successful competition cars of all time, running rings around far bigger and more potent opponents by dint of its incredible handling. In current ownership for the last 7 years, YFC 533V is a rare and perhaps unique proposition. based on a 1979 Mini 1275GT and reshelled in 1989, this particular example benefits from a full road-legal track conversion, with specification including the engine being uprated to 1340cc and fitted with a Garrett AIResearch T3 Turbocharger, turbo-specific cam and duplex drivetrain. The vehicle also features additional cooling with the use of a high capacity alloy radiator, with additional cooling fan and oil cooler. YFC 533V was subject to an engine overhaul and lightened flywheel in october of 2014 at a cost of £3,606.In addition to upgrades to the engine, the vehicle also benefits from a straight cut Jack Knight transmission, fully adjustable shock absorbers, tie bars and rear anti-roll bar, and the car sits on 13x7 wheels with uprated 4 pot calipers at the front. YFC 533V also features a stripped out interior with full bolt-in roll cage, bucket seats, performance dash with both internal/external battery isolator and full extinguisher system covering engine bay, interior and boot.Currently displaying 12,595 miles, YFC 533V comes accompanied with a comprehensive folder including over £43,000 in invoices dating back to 1989, a number of previous MOTs, the V5 Document and more. The vendor rates the condition of the painwork as ‘Good’ with the bodywork, engine, transmission and gearbox, electrical equipment and interior trim all as ‘Very Good’.YFC 533V is based on a 1979 Mini 1275GT and reshelled in 1989, this particular example benefits from a full road-legal track conversion, with specification including the engine being uprated to 1340cc and fitted with a Garrett AIResearch T3 Turbocharger, turbo-specific cam and duplex drivetrain.

Registration No: B200 XBXChassis No: WBAGC820908186449MOT: January 2022Professional respray in its original Cosmos Blue during 2018 - 2020Full service history with twelve 'Green Bower' stamps in the service bookSupplied by Green Bower BMW of Haverfordwest, Wales and still retains its original dealer number plates and decalsThe sleek, Paul Bracq-penned, four-seater 6 Series Coupe was introduced in 1976 as a replacement for the aging CS and CSL models. Code named E24, the newcomer borrowed heavily from the contemporary E12 and E28 5 Series Saloons and was of unitary, all steel construction. At launch, the range comprised two models - the 630 CS and 633 CSi; the bodies for which were manufactured by Karmann prior to production being taken in-house. The more powerful 635 CSi swelled the line-up in 1978.Registered in March 1985 and supplied by dealers Green Bower BMW of Haverfordwest, Wales; this high-specification example is finished in Metallic Cosmos Blue with matching blue leather seats and carpets (even retaining its original BMW over mats). The subject of much expenditure in recent years, including a professional respray in its original Cosmos Blue during 2018 - 2022 (at a cost of £4750.00), together with much servicing to the engine and gearbox, new brake discs and pads all around and four new Michelin 220 / V55 VR390 TRX Tyres (original specification when new).

Only available as coupé or convertible the M3 was offered with a five-speed Getrag gearbox or an SMG drive logic transmission. The E46 M3 was full of electronic gadgetry, which included driver aids such as Dynamic Stability Control, Cornering Brake Control and a Limited Slip Differential. With a reported top speed of 155mph and 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds, the M3 certainly lived up to its name and did not disappoint!This M3 Convertible was manufactured in 2002 and is fitted with the 3246cc straight-six engine with SMG transmission. Finished in metallic Topaz Blue with Nappa Grey leather interior upholstery, the M3 has covered c.122,000 miles from new across five former keepers. Featuring the multi-function steering wheel and cruise control, the M3 has been provided with recently refurbished alloy wheels with matching tyres all-round and has further benefited from new brake discs, pads and calipers throughout. Recently provided with a major engine and gearbox service and due to be provided with a fresh MOT in time for the sale.Footnote: PLEASE NOTE: This lot is now offered with a 12-month MOT certificate.

Registration No: RD 7970Chassis No: C31174MOT: ExemptUnderstood to be just 1 of 6 to still surviveOriginal sales brochure, collection of invoices, and old MoT certificatesSubject to an older restoration and current ownership since 2000The pretty convertible Touring version of the Ford Model ‘C’ joined the saloons in mid-1935. The 10hp tourer (hence the Ford 10 moniker) utilised the same 3-speed gearbox, body styling and panels as the saloon car. The 1172cc Touring used an enlarged version of the Model ‘Y’ side valve engine. The suspension was by the Ford system of transverse leaf springs and rigid axles, little changed since the Model T. The De Luxe Model “CX” tourer sold only 1795 cars before its demise on 1 March 1937.Understood to be just 1 of 6 to survive, it remains a very attractive car. ‘RD7970’ has been subject to an older restoration and was later subject to mechanical work in 2014 with the radiator overhauled in 2005. Accompanied by the original sales brochure, a collection of invoices, MoT certificates, original repair manual, and period logbook the Ford has been maintained by the current vendor since 2000. The subject of previous magazine features and articles in club publications ‘RD7970’ still retains its original registration number. The vendor currently grades the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork, transmission and interior trim all as ‘good’. A rare opportunity.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: 'Good'Engine: 'Good'Electrical Equipment: 'Good'Paintwork: 'Good'Gearbox: 'Good'Interior Trim: 'Good'Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Registration No: Q367 BRB Chassis No: H5011 MOT: NoneTwo owners from new with current ownership since 2014Only c.2,500 miles from newBuilt to right-hand drive specificationOffered with a large history file including build correspondence and photosLes Hayden began manufacturing evocations of the famous AC Cobra 427 in South Africa, having obtained a certified status for his company from the South African Department of Transport. Hayden's design was based around a super-rigid backbone chassis and incorporated anti-dive and anti-squat characteristics to its suspension.Factory-built to the order of its first owner in 2004 and UK road registered the following year. Finished in Daytona Blue with Black leather upholstery, the two-seater is powered by a 5.7 litre Chevrolet V8 coupled to an automatic Super B&M quick shift gearbox. Constructed on a spaceframe chassis, the Hayden has fully independent suspension with Jaguar running gear. This particular example had covered just 1,800 miles from new when purchased by the current registered keeper in 2014. Offered from the deceased estate of said keeper, the Cobra Evocation has today only covered approximately 2,500 miles across both owners. Unused for approximately a year since the vendors passing, the Hayden will now require some recommissioning before road use. Accompanied by a large history file that comprises correspondence relating to the build, shipping and registration of the Cobra along with build images and the technical specification. The history file also contains a selection of past MOTs and invoices and a current V5C.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: D26 SNSChassis No: WDB1260392A285757MOT: April 2022Extensively restored over the past five years including a full respray by Paintology Ltd of Nottingham, automatic gearbox refurbishment by Oakdene Automotive Transmission and mechanical fettling by MercServe and Elm Tree GarageAttention paid to the brake, suspension, ignition and fuel systems not to mention an upgrade to the air conditioning plus new internal bulbs for the instrument cluster etcNew front headlight wipers and arms, seat adjustment buttons, wood trims etc etc etc Built to order number 0653778372 during September 1986, chassis 285757 was originally finished in Diamond Blue Metallic with Blue Velour upholstery. Specified with a Becker Mexico stereo, folding front armrest and rear footrests, the luxury saloon had covered some 100,000 miles by the time that the present registered keeper acquired it in 2016. Extensively restored over the past five years, work included a full bodywork refurbishment by Paintology Ltd of Nottingham, rejuvenated driver’s seat, factory replacement steering wheel, new interior wood (except the door cappings), fresh seat adjustment buttons and new internal bulbs for the instrument cluster etc. Riding on refurbished and powder coated alloy wheels shod with fresh tyres, ‘D26 SNS’ also gained new front indicator lenses and rear lights plus tinted windows and replacement headlight wiper arms / blades. Mechanically, the 560 SEL benefitted from an automatic gearbox overhaul by Oakdene Automotive Transmissions of Nottingham not to mention attention being paid to its brakes (pads, parking brake shoes, lines), fuel injection, ignition (uprated alternator, spark plugs / leads), fuel (pumps, lines), suspension (front shock absorbers, rear self-levelling hydraulics) and air-conditioning (new condensor radiator, conversion to current refrigerant gas). Said to have been ‘fully serviced by Mercserve and Elm Tree Garage of Nottingham using original parts supplied by Mertrux of Derby’, the Mercedes-Benz has only covered 3,000 miles or so since its rejuvenation. Given a thorough Lanoguard underbody treatment, this imposing 560SEL is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and a ‘no advisories’ MOT certificate valid until April 2022. Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1979, the new W126 S-class was a quantifiable improvement over its W116 predecessor. Lauded by the contemporary motoring press as the 'best car in the world', it was not only lighter than its forebear but also offered an improved ride and sharper handling. Styled by Bruno Sacco, its sleek silhouette hid all round independent suspension, disc brakes, power assisted steering and a range of powerful all alloy V8 engines (later supplemented by more fuel efficient straight-sixes). Beloved by heads of state, captains of industry and celebrities alike, the W126 remains sought after to this day thanks to its impeccable build quality and timeless lines. Current between 1985 and 1992, the flagship 560 SEL model was powered by a 5547cc SOHC V8 engine that developed an unfussed 296bhp and 336lbft of torque; outputs sufficient to propel the long wheelbase saloon from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 155mph. Despite a price tag of £75,000 (equivalent to over £185,000 in today's money), the luxurious 560 SEL accounted for an impressive 75,071 sales with most being to left-hand drive specification.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: MXI 514Chassis No: AM122A.659MOT: August 2022Just 21,300 recorded milesTreated to a new clutch, re-faced flywheel and brake fettling by McGrath Maserati circa 5,000 miles ago and a major engine overhaul by Stanwood Engineering at circa 20,800 milesBenefiting from a refurbished steering rack, new LHM tank, fresh front shock absorbers, replacement front disc brakes, new gearchange linkage bushes, four fresh tyres and full repaint in 2018 (approx. 300 miles ago)Returned to McGrath Maserati for a minor service and new starter motor during April 2021 and since subject to £3,000 worth of carburettor refurbishment and fuel system workThe vendor is confident that the paltry 21,300 miles shown by this rare right-hand drive, UK-supplied example’s odometer represents the total covered from new. His belief is supported, at least in part, by the modest mileage, the Merak SS has accrued over the past eighteen years (an average of 280 per annum). Finished in Black with Ivory leather upholstery, the 2+2-seater was despatched to renowned marque specialist McGrath Maserati during 2003 for a refaced flywheel, new clutch, reconditioned LHM pump, rear brake overhaul and replacement lower wishbone bushes etc. The same firm supplied some £3,147 worth of parts (new Omega 92.5mm pistons, bearings, valves/valve guides, gaskets etc) for a thorough engine overhaul carried out by Stanwood Engineering Ltd of Doncaster circa 500 miles ago. Further mechanical work followed in 2018 at an indicated 21,000 miles with the steering being refurbished, the front brake discs/pads replaced, two new front shock absorbers installed, the gearchange linkage bushes renewed, a fresh LHM tank added and four new tyres fitted. That same year also saw the bodywork undergo a partial restoration prior to being professionally repainted by Malton Coachworks. Returning to McGrath Maserati in April 2021, ‘MXI 514’ benefited from a minor service and replacement starter motor, while more recent fettling has encompassed a refurbishment of the triple Weber carburettors and rolling road tune. The interior is nicely patinated (though, there is a split in the driver’s seat base) and has had attention paid to its instruments and switchgear. Starting readily upon inspection and sounding purposeful thanks to its stainless steel exhaust, this striking mid-engined Maserati is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, Maserati Club Driver’s Manual and history file. Model Background:Introduced at the October 1972 Paris Motor Show, the Maserati Merak (Tipo 122) was intended to rival the Ferrari Dino 246 and Lamborghini Urraco. Named after a star from the Ursa Major constellation, the compact 2+2 sportscar's styling deliberately aped that of its Bora supercar sibling (both models being penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro). Based around a steel monocoque chassis equipped with all-round independent double-wishbone suspension, four-wheel ventilated disc brakes and rack and pinion steering, the Merak was powered by a longitudinally-mounted 'quad-cam' 2965cc V6 allied to a five-speed transaxle gearbox. Fed by triple Weber carburettors, the engine was credited with 190bhp and 188lbft of torque. Debuting at the 1975 Geneva Salon, the uprated SS variant not only boasted more power and torque (up to 217bhp/199lbft) but also a lower kerb weight. As such, the ‘Super Sport’ was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds and 155mph. Praised by the contemporary motoring press with Motor magazine observing that: 'Performance and handling are the raison d'être of a mid-engined sports car, and the Merak's astounding cornering power is a match for its straight-line punch,' the diminutive Maserati remained on the market until 1983 by which time some 1,817 examples had been made (including 970 SS variants).Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

It was put back into production in 1945 following the Second World War and remained on sale until replaced by the Rover P3 in 1948. The 16 was part of the Rover P2 range, along with Rover 10, Rover 12, Rover 14 and Rover 20 models. The car, with its mildly streamlined form, resembled the existing Rover 10 and the Rover 12 but was slightly longer and featured a more rounded back end. The six-cylinder ohv engine had a capacity of 2,147 cc. A top speed of 124 km/h (77 mph) was claimed. In addition to a "six-light" saloon and a "four-light" "sports saloon, a two-door cabriolet was available, usually referred to as a drophead coupé, with bodywork by Tickfords. Notable features included a "freewheel" system, Bijur-Luvax automatic lubrication of the chassis, and Girling rod actuated fully compensated mechanical brakes of exceptionally high efficiency.

1996 HONDA NSX TARGARegistration Number: 32 NSX        Chassis Number: JHMA01/2800T/500032Recorded Mileage: 103,600 milesOne private owner from newUK delivered Full Honda Service HistoryThe legendary Honda NSX (standing for New Sportscar Experimental) was developed by the Honda Motor Corporation between 1984 and its eventual launch in 1990, with major chassis and suspension input from three times F1 World Champion, Ayrton Senna.The NSX featured a state of the art 3.0-litre V6 'VTEC' engine (variable valve timing) and an all-aluminium monocoque body, encompassing a revolutionary extruded aluminium alloy frame and suspension. This made the car extremely light and extremely strong. Other game-changing features included 4 channel ABS brakes, titanium connecting rods in the engine and later in the model's life - an electric power steering system as well as an upgrade to a 3.2-litre V6 engine. The car was the first real Japanese 'Supercar', proving itself and quickly establishing respect from its key competitors. Production continued right up until 2005, with only subtle changes made throughout its life.Finished in Midnight Purple Metallic with contrasting Tan Leather, this well maintained example was supplied new in September 1996. After being used as a dealer demonstrator the NSX was supplied to its first and only UK owner, specified with a Targa roof and automatic gearbox.  In the intervening years the NSX has been serviced regularly by the Honda main dealer in Surrey, with any additional items replaced as required. Notably all work has been carried out with the same Honda engineer who was trained specifically by Honda UK to work on this very car.The paintwork is in very good order throughout, and the interior presents well with the exception of the driver's seat which could benefit from a little attention to the side bolster.  Offered with an MoT certificate to April 2022 (with no advisories) and printout from Honda detailing the servicing schedule from new, this is a very original example of what is now regarded as a true modern classic, with good history and a bright future in the market. The NSX will be supplied with the registration '32 NSX' in recognition of the model name and chassis number 500032.

1956 AUSTIN A30 SALOONRegistration Number: 117 XVRChassis Number: TBARecorded Mileage: 52,000Whilst Morris Motors brought new standards of refinement to small cars with the Minor of 1948, arch enemies Austin needed their own small car to compete with this newcomer. In 1951 Austin unveiled its answer; the Austin A30, powered by an all new 803cc, four cylinder, OHV engine known as the A-series. Ironically the A30's new powerplant found its way into the Minor's engine bay as the two rival companies merged in 1952 to form BMC (British Motor Corporation). The A30 was a much smaller car than the Minor, its narrower body providing accommodation for 4 people and came only as a 4 door saloon to start with. In 1953 a 2 door saloon arrived and from 1954 a Van and estate car known as the Countryman became available. The little A30 sold well throughout its production life, despite its odd balance of modern styling and antiquated rod operated brakes. In 1956 the more powerful A35 arrived.This late A30 was first supplied to the Trowbridge area in March of 1956, finished in Cardigan Grey with a red interior. The little Austin was used by a local resident until they gave up driving in the 1970s. The car was well known to the current vendor's grandparents, the proprietors of Mortimer Street Garage in Trowbridge, where it was regularly serviced. When the A30 came in seeking a new home, the garage owners acquired it, remaining in their possession and occasionally being used for local car shows until the car passed to their grandson in 1997.The car has been dry stored since this time, but has benefitted from much work by the current owner's father. A number of items have been fitted such as a new exhaust system, brake master cylinder and rear cylinder, new radiator hoses, new windscreen & rear screen seals, new voltage regulator, gearbox front and rear oil seals, all oils and filter (including gearbox), amongst other things.Showing just 52,000 miles from new, this is a really fun starter classic which can be further improved as and when one wishes.
