Superbly restored 1927 Phantom 1 Tourer rebodied in the eighties with an Edwardian Shooting-Brake flat body with its own story to tell.#82EF was built in 1927 on a C-2-A Long Chassis. Fitted with Engine Number 'CX75'Clothed in 'Enclosed Laundaulette' bodywork by Maddox of HuntingdonDelivered to its first owner, Rippon Bros. Ltd. of Huddersfield on 14-06-1927There is no further history with the car up until its purchase, in 2004, by our vendorHowever the real story is the cars commodious rear bodywork which began life in 1912 fitted to a new Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, # 2232EThis bodywork has a fabulous story to tell, all covered on our website#82EF returned to UK roads registered as HK 6071 in 2004 and has enjoyed a full and colourful life ever since The car is supplied with original documents which include build sheets, spring testing, component selection, weight reports, inspections and pleasingly the car’s service records (at the Works) up until early 1938A remarkable piece of motoring historyBy 1925, the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost had been upstaged by a younger generation of more technically advanced luxury cars. The glory days of the 1913 Alpine Trials had long passed and both Henry Royce and Rolls-Royce sales manager Claude Johnson felt the need to produce a new claimant to the title 'best car in the world'. Just as the competition between car manufacturers was becoming increasingly fierce, so that between rival coachbuilders had intensified correspondingly. With the arrival of each faster, more powerful chassis came the opportunity to construct ever more lavish, sophisticated coachwork. To ensure that their cars could be fitted with the finest bodies in the world, Rolls-Royce introduced the 'New Phantom'.Whilst, its tapered, channel-section chassis, four-speed manual transmission, supple springing (semi-elliptic front, cantilever rear) and ingenious gearbox-driven, servo-assisted four-wheel brakes owed much to its predecessor, the Phantom's 7668cc engine was all new. Quoted as being an impressive 33 per cent more powerful than the Ghost's unit, it featured overhead valves set in a detachable cylinder head, two-cylinder blocks with three cylinders each, aluminium alloy crankcase and a massive seven bearing crankshaft. Bore and stroke dimensions of 108 x 139.7mm resulted in abundant torque, enabling the flagship Rolls-Royce to accelerate from walking speed to approximately 80mph in top gear. Unveiled at the company's 14/15 Conduit St, London showrooms during May 1925, the 'New Phantom' remained in production in the UK until 1929, by which time some 2,269 chassis had been delivered. Rolls-Royce Phantom 1, #82EF, appears to have been built in early 1927 on a Nickel-finished, C-2-A Long Chassis and fitted with Engine Number 'CX75' before being despatched to coachbuilders, Maddox of Huntingdon, to be clothed in their 'Enclosed Laundaulette' bodywork. It was subsequently returned to Derby for final fitting-out and testing prior to being delivered to its first owner, Rippon Bros. Ltd. of St.Johns Rd, Huddersfield, (John Stonehouse) on 14-06-1927. This information can be gleaned from over a dozen photocopies of (hand-written) original documents which include build sheets, spring testing, component selection, weight reports, inspections and pleasingly the car’s service records (at the Works) up until early 1938.There is no further history with the car up until its purchase, in 2004, by Raymond Lippiatt, its current owner. Raymond is a long-term Rolls-Royce and Bentley enthusiast who is well known by the respective Owner’s and Driver’s Clubs and who has also entrusted us with the sale of his very special 3-litre Bentley. The Phantom is rumoured to have been working as a farm tractor (possibly abroad) and certainly needed to be UK-registered again with HK 6071 being allocated by the DVLA after representation by The Society of Automotive Historians in Britain. However, the most unusual thing about the venerable Rolls was its distinctive ‘Shooting Brake’ rear bodywork which had been saved from the scrapyard in 1987 and, presumably, was just the thing for work on the farm. For anyone interested in Social History, this unusual rear end is fascinating as explained below.In 1912, a new Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, # 2232E, was purchased by the 5th Duke of Sutherland, George Granville Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, (1888-1963) and fitted with a bespoke 9/10-seat shooting-brake body almost in the style of an open trailer to be used on the family estates for shooting parties, carrying the eight ‘guns’ in some comfort out to their respective ‘pegs’. The 5th Duke was a well-known socialite, patron of the film industry and a Conservative Party politician so one would imagine that amongst the invited guests would have been prominent Cabinet Ministers, fellow MPs, some glamorous thespians and occasionally minor Royalty. No doubt, the atmosphere in the back of this leather-lined charabanc on the way back to cocktails and dinner would have been rather jolly. This wasn’t to last, however, as the start of the Great War resulted in 2232E and its commodious rear end being seconded for wartime service and despatched to a newly formed RNAS station (RNAS Mullion) in deepest Cornwall. At this time the Royal Naval Air Service operated all Airships across Britain and the first to operate at Mullion were the Coastal Class non-rigid type. They were constructed with a Gondola for the crew and a ‘Tri-lobe balloon’, of 170,000 cubic feet of Hydrogen. 'Coastals' provided the nucleus of airships from the Lizard and had a crew of five with an armament of four machine guns and a small number of bombs or depth charges. Their open, unheated cockpits were uncomfortable and crew members resorted to walking around the outside on the grab-rails to stretch their legs. In winter, crews risked frostbite and Hypothermia and often, on their return, ground handlers would have to lift them from their cockpits after patrols, some lasting over 15 hours at a time. 2232E (now carrying the plate RNAS 615) was used to take the quietly reticent crews out to the airships and collect them after the mission, the mood being somewhat lighter then, with the prospect of a hot bath and bacon and eggs in the mess. In 1917/18 the Airships were replaced with combat aircraft, Sopwith Pups and Camels, and sadly, a number of young men who took the trip out to their aircraft in the back of RNAS 615 would never return. We understand that this bodywork, presumably still attached to the Silver Ghost carried out a similar function for Spitfire pilots in World War 2.Silver Ghost #2232E was re-bodied in 1987 and the wood and leather rear body was saved from the scrapyard, somehow ending up on the back of our Phantom, 82EF.

A genuine, matching numbers, mid-twenties 3-litre with a fascinating history that would be welcome anywhere in the world (and would probably get you there).The venerable 3-Litre, 15.9HP, four-seat tourer on offer here was built in April 1925 on a ‘Standard Long’ chassis (#1079) Powered by ‘No.1075’, a 2,996cc SOHC, 4-valve, inline 4-cylinder engine with 2 SU 'Sloper' Carburettors which offered circa 70bhp Clothed from new by HJ Mulliner with their ‘Allweather’ bodywork and finished in ‘Grey and Black’First registered on 9/05/1925 to Guy Dutton. Transferred to Brooklands Aviation at Sywell Aerodrome on 11/05/1935 where it was converted to a Fire TenderBetween October 1987 and July 1989, HP 2667 was totally restored and re-bodied in the style of a 1925 Vanden Plas TourerNow finished in BRG (Napier Green) and Brooklands Green with black wings, running boards and wire wheelsOn offer today from our vendor, a long-term Rolls-Royce and Bentley enthusiast who is well known by the respective Owner’s and Driver’s Clubs With characteristic humility 'W O' was constantly amazed by the enthusiasm of later generations for the products of Bentley Motors Limited, and it is testimony to the soundness of his engineering design skills that so many of his products have survived. From the humblest of beginnings in a mews garage off Baker Street, London in 1919 the Bentley rapidly achieved fame as an exciting fast touring car, well able to compete with the best of European and American sports cars in the tough world of motorsport in the 1920s. Bentley's domination at Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930 is legendary, and one can only admire the Herculean efforts of such giants as Woolf Barnato, Jack Dunfee, Tim Birkin and Sammy Davis, consistently wrestling the British Racing Green sports cars to victory.W O Bentley proudly unveiled the new 3-litre car bearing his name on Stand 126 at the 1919 Olympia Motor Exhibition, the prototype engine having fired up for the first time just a few weeks earlier. Bentley's four-cylinder 'fixed head' engine incorporated a single overhead camshaft, four valves per cylinder and a bore/stroke of 80x149mm. Twin ML magnetos provided the ignition and power was transmitted through a four-speed gearbox with right-hand change. The pressed-steel chassis started off with a wheelbase of 9' 9½" (the 'short standard') then adopted dimensions of 10' 10" ('standard long') in 1923, the shorter frame being reserved for the TT Replica and subsequent Speed Model. Rear-wheel brakes only were employed up to 1924 when four-wheel Perrot-type brakes were introduced. The venerable 3-Litre, 15.9HP, four-seat tourer on offer here was built in April 1925 on a ‘Standard Long’ chassis (#1079) and powered by ‘No.1075’, a 2,996cc SOHC, 4-valve, inline 4-cylinder engine with 2 SU 'Sloper' Carburettors which offered circa 70bhp at 3,500rpm. It was fitted with a 4-Speed Close-Ratio Gearbox, Front and Rear Leaf Spring Suspension and 4-Wheel Drum Brakes with ‘Perrot Shaft’ actuation, all rather advanced for 1925. It was clothed from new by HJ Mulliner with their ‘Allweather’ bodywork and finished in ‘Grey and Black’, normal for the period as green was very seldom used at the time.As far as we can see, HP 2667 was first registered on 9/05/1925 to Guy Dutton who used it until it was transferred to Brooklands Aviation at Sywell Aerodrome on 11/05/1935 where it appears to have been converted to a Fire Tender. There is a photograph of the car in Bill Boddy’s ‘Brooklands Volume 3’ showing the car as a fire tender and captioned “Put into Service, 1935”. The Log Book has been altered to read “Class: Fire Engine”.The car’s second ‘Buff Log Book’ shows that HP 2667 was acquired by Bert Middlemas T/as Hornby Park Motors on 21/07/1953 prior to passing through the hands of a couple of more dealers before settling down with William Deane in Chester in July 1956. A Mr Henry Pasco from Wellesbourne is the next name on the list (21/01/1964) in a new ‘Green’ logbook followed swiftly by Reginald Booth (18/02/1964) and then John Henry Davidson (1/02/1965) who obviously enjoyed the Bentley as he was to retain it until Terence Dickie acquired it on 19/09/1983.It’s not clear at what point the ‘Fire Tender’ bodywork was replaced, if at all, but from the stack of numbered invoices from GA Huckle of Bedford, ‘Vintage Car Restorations and Rebuilds’, we can establish that between October 1987 and July 1989, HP 2667 was totally restored and re-bodied in the style of the 1925 Vanden Plas Tourer. The VP Tourer was a much more attractive body and totally in keeping as Chassis Number#1080, the immediately following chassis in 1925, was in fact bodied from new as a Vanden Plas Four-Seat Tourer. The invoices from GA Huckle detail all the work that was carried out and indicate that a total of 873 man/hours were charged for and the restoration costs with GA Huckle alone total £36,815.There is an element of mystery here as there is a DVLC document indicating that the car became the property of Per Guerdrum in Sanvika in Norway on 4/04/1989, whilst still being restored by GA Huckle and a further couple of service invoices from Huckle in Bedford are dated June 1990 and January 1992, perhaps the Norwegian owner had it shipped back to the UK for specialist attention. The GB badge at the rear of the Bentley indicated that it lived in Norway at some point.Post-restoration invoices dated 1993 from Arley Coachbuilding, John Hunt Engineering, the Bentley Drivers Club and DH Day are all addressed to Alan Whitehead from Bolton, who presumably owned the car at the time, but one thing is certain, the Bentley was sold to Raymond Lippiatt on 02/06/2003 by Terence Dickie who according to the V5 had owned it since 19/09/1983. Part of the fun of owning really old cars is the research.PE 2667 is on offer today from Raymond Lippiatt, a long-term Rolls-Royce and Bentley enthusiast who is well known by the respective Owner’s and Driver’s Clubs and who has has also entrusted us with the sale of his unique Phantom 1. We understand that Raymond believes in using his cars and from the file we can see that the Bentley was most recently taxed last September (2020). There is a quote on file dated 16/03/1995 for a full engine rebuild (£6,450) which, we imagine, was carried out and an invoice from Elmdown Engineering dated November 2006 that covers 15 hours of maintenance and servicing.The car itself looks absolutely splendid, standing all-square and proud and belying the thirty years since its restoration.

The instrument cluster consists of round dials with a modern, aluminium look - a large speedometer and rev counter and smaller coolant temperature and fuel gauges. The centre console and interior door handles are finished with decorative trims made of brushed aluminium. With their perforated leather and red stitching, the steering wheel, the handbrake and the gear lever gaiter all hark back to the original GTI of 1976, as does the gear lever knob in the design of a golf ball. This Golf GTI was only available in a two-door version with Tornado Red, Reflex Silver Metallic or Black Magic Pearl-effect paintwork. It went on sale with a limited production run of 1800 units.This particular example is finished in Reflex Silver and was first registered on 1/10/2002.

Post-facelift R230 with 510bhp and the F1 Performance pack.Second-generation R230 SL55 AMG (supercharged) with 510bhp and 530ft.lb Finished in Iridium Silver with Charcoal Hide and in superb condition throughout Described by Evo magazine in period as "a supercar in disguise" Fitted with the F1 Performance Pack (aero/suspension/brakes) Comprehensive specification includes a limited slip differential, additional oil cooler, electric memory seats, air conditioning and wind deflector Dated Command sat-nav replaced with £3,000 Apple Car Play Impressive service history with stamped book, detailed invoices and MOT Certificates, current valid until 11/02/2022 Present recorded mileage, at time of viewing was just 46,096 with the last belt change being recorded at 44,644 miles An opportunity to acquire a real wolf in sheeps clothing in outstanding condition throughout Mercedes-Benz launched its new SL-Class (R230) of high-performance GTs in September 2001 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, though one had already served as Formula 1's Safety Car at Hockenheim in July. In 2002, the SL55 AMG went on sale. Hailed by Evo magazine as a supercar in disguise, the latter was powered by a supercharged 5.4-litre V8 engine initially producing 469bhp and a monstrous 520lb/ft of torque.The second generation of the R230 SL500, marketed as the Phase II, was introduced in 2006 and naturally the SL55AMG benefited from the same changes. The revisions for the 2006 SL55 AMG included a new grille, inspired by the SL65 AMG and the front bumper was redesigned and looked more aggressive than before.Inside, there was a new steering wheel and new options available, including heated and ventilated seats, adaptive cruise control and a push-button start on top of the gearbox stick. Most of the major changes were technical, the front disc-brakes were carried-over from the SL65 AMG and were bigger with 6-pot calipers instead of the older 8-pot units, the engine was re-tuned with a new compressor now generating 510bhp (up from 493) and the gearbox reverted to the old and reliable 5G-Tronic box allowing for the increase in torque.Naturally, the AMG F1 Performance pack was available on the Phase II car, at around £10,000, and this included an AMG Alcantara-trimmed sports steering wheel, Active Suspension with 20% stiffer Nürburgring settings, larger brakes cooled by vents in the SL65 front bumper, 19" two-piece double spoke alloys, AMG locking differential, Carbon Fibre trim and the speed limiter was recalibrated to 186mph although the power output remained at 510bhp.This superb example is presented in Iridium Silver with a Charcoal leather interior and is fitted with electric memory seats, air conditioning with climate control and a wind deflector. It has a full service history, all main dealer history except for the last two, which were carried out by a Mercedes-Benz specialist. It enjoyed a major service in August 2019, which included the drive belts and plugs with an invoice total of £3,880 and it has covered just over 900 miles since. It was most recently serviced in February 2021 and the rather dated 'Command' satellite navigation system was replaced with a modern £3,000 Apple CarPlay touch screen unit (the original unit will come with car retaining its provenance). This is a fabulous example of AMG's deft touch with the SL and will reward any inspection.  SpecificationMake: MERCEDESModel: SL55 AMG F1Year: 2007Chassis Number: WDB2304722F134648Registration Number: GN07 UAHTransmission: AutoEngine Number: 11399560055694Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 46096 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

Barnfind in superb original condition. Dry stored since 1987. Probably the finest example available, recommissioned with a mileage of just 21,335 miles.Described in period as being a practical sports car Designed by Matra themselves with one of the lowest drag coefficients of the time Powered by a 2.2-litre, SOHC, 4-cyl. offering 116bhp, 0-60 in 9 seconds and 114mph A five-speed gearbox was a standard fitting Supplied by Sports Cars Unlimited, Newcastle finished in Mephisto Red One recorded keeper from first registration in April 1983 and a low indicated mileage of just 21,340 In storage since 1992 so an element of recommissioning is to be expected The Matra Murena (Project M551) is a mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive hatchback that was produced from 1980 through 1983 by the French engineering group Matra located in the commune of Romorantin-Lanthenay in central France. An intriguing design by Greek stylist, Antonis Volanis, described in period as being a "practical sports car" with a distinctive style, three-across seating and intelligent use of space aimed at those individuals who enjoy driving.Unlike Matras earlier cars whose frames were prone to rust, the Murena utilised an industry-first hot-dipped galvanized frame that was backed by an unprecedented six year rust-through warranty. The galvanizing process added protection and increased the torsional stiffness of the chassis by a measurable amount. After the process was completed, the body was riveted and bonded to it, producing a strong and long-lasting vehicle. The Murenas sleek wedge profile consisted of even fewer panels than the Bagheera, only 12 compared with 19, resulting in a drag-coefficient of just 0.32, pretty slippery.This particular Murena was purchased by its one recorded keeper in 1983. He was looking for a sports car built to a high standard that would be rust free and provide a bit of fun. With that he mind, he made contact with Sports Cars Unlimited in Newcastle Upon Tyne and an order was placed directly with the manufacturer. He later collected the car directly from Matra driving home via Ostend to Dover, whereupon it was officially imported into the UK. Related paperwork accompanies the car together with two handbooks, one in French and the other in Dutch, sales brochures, specification sheets and original purchase invoices. Even the temporary number plate to allow travel to the UK remains within the history file.

One of only 45 and privately owned from new, this 3.8 RSR is clearly of investment grade quality and will, undoubtedly, appeal to discriminating collectors or historic racing aficionados.One of 45 race cars produced for Endurance RacingChassis No.#9802 was built in left-hand drive and completed on 27/02/1997Delivered new to Japan later that year3.8-litre, six-cylinder 350PS/258Kw/346bhpSuperbly presented in Glacier White with a black interior, black headlining and sitting on BBS wheels with centre lockingPrivately owned since new with less than 14,000km and never been tracked or racedFrom 1995, the RSR denomination once again disappeared from the tracks as Porsche focussed its efforts on the GTI and GT2 versions of its recently released 993 platform but, in '96, they developed a race car to take part in national championship series in Europe, Japan and the United States. The stripped-down race car was officially named the '911 Cup 3.8 RSR'. Customers and private teams could choose between three distinct factory-built 3.8 litre engines, each one tuned to a different specification and designed for the appropriate class of competition. A true factory-build, the 993 Cup 3.8 RSR with 350 PS at 6,900 rpm was at 1,200 kg, a super-lightweight track weapon and the last truly hand-made 911.A total of 45 Carrera Cup cars were produced between 1996 and 1998 and Chassis number #9802 dates from 1997. It was fitted with the M64/75 motor which, with its bespoke pistons and high lift cams, was specifically tuned for endurance competition and generates 350 PS at 6,900 rpm An endurance race competitor, the RSR was equipped with a Premier Aluminium Fuel Cell (FIA and SCCA specifications) which was installed at the Porsche factory with all the required plumbing and quick-filler neck. Most are fitted with an optional 75-litre fuel tank. With limited creature comforts, it was assembled by the factory with a fully-welded Matter roll-cage and all the required safety systems such as the twin Sabelt six-point harnesses, Recaro racing seat, Werner Clubsport fire extinguisher and engine kill-switches. The Porsche branded 350mm high grip Momo steering wheel with a 70 mm dish allows the wheel to be moved closer to the driver and also provides for greater leverage and quicker steering corrections. A SPA 3-stage shift light module is on the dash.This fabulous 3.8RSR Carrera Cup car was supplied by Mizwa Motors Corporation, 2-7-1 Meguro-Honcho, MeguroKu, Tokyo 152, Japan to a private owner who bought, owned and retained the car for his personal use. It was finished in Glacier White with a black interior and black headlining and spec'd with BBS wheels with centre locking. It has never been tracked and therefore never raced. Purchased directly from the private owner the vehicle was shipped to the UK by James Kaye of JKR Performance Engineering, Southampton and was duly registered with the DVLA at Swansea on 1st May 2015. Upon its arrival in the UK, having covered 13,128km from new, the car was transported to Clark & Carter, the renowned Porsche specialist located in Cressing in Essex. Once its provenance had been confirmed by Steve and Jamie Clark, they were instructed to re-commission and detail the car. Remarkably, the bodywork was exactly as it had been delivered new. It was totally unblemished and the original paintwork required nothing more than a buff and polish. The wheels were professionally refurbished before being fitted with a set of new Pirelli tyres. To provide the opportunity for instruction, an OEM passenger seat was fitted, as were a new set of harnesses. The original harnesses remain with the vehicle. Upon completion of the works, the car was never driven indeed, it remained with Clark & Carter until July 2020 when it was taken by transporter to the Official Porsche Centre in Tonbridge.From our vendor."This car comes with its original engine and close-ratio 6-speed synchronized gear box. The gearbox is precise and functions impeccably throughout the entire power band from 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds to a top speed of over 175 mph. The independent front suspension coil-overs and multi-link fully adjustable rears and the camber are set in a neutral position for optimized open road use. Air Jacks, that have never been used, remain fitted for race pit stops. The BBS modular, 18-inch centre-lock wheels with magnesium centres are fitted with new high-speed tyres (235 front and 295 rear) The bodywork is almost indistinguishable from new. The Glacier White paintwork is free of imperfections as is the condition of the composite flairs. Paint metre readings are 4-6 ml on the four wings, both doors, the bonnet and the roof attesting to the unquestionable provenance of the car. Although built as a solo racer and configured as such, a matching Recaro bucket seat has now been added for company". One of only 45 and privately owned from new, this 3.8 RSR is clearly of investment grade quality and will, undoubtedly, appeal to discriminating collectors or historic racing aficionados. SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 993 3.8 RSR CARRERA CUPYear: 1997Chassis Number: WP0ZZ99ZVS398082Registration Number: P781 DUDTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 62P85722Drive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Based on the 911 Carrera S but with the wider 911 body normally reserved for more potent models such as the all-wheel-drive 911s, the GT2 RS and the GT3, it houses the naturally aspirated 3.8-litre, flat-six engine but crucially on the GTS it gets the usually optional Power kit as standard, boosting its output by 22 bhp to 402 bhp. PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management is standard, as is the Sports Exhaust whilst this particular example comes with the optional PDK Dual Clutch Transmission. With the latest 911s all adopting turbocharged engines this has led to the 997 Series becoming increasingly desirable and the GTS is one of the very finest iterations of the 997.Finished in Carrara White (named after Carrara Marble) with a black leather interior, this stunning Porsche 997 Carrera Gen II GTS Cabriolet has covered only 1,160 miles by its one owner.

The much revered Carrera 3.0 transformed into a rally car and successfully rallied in 'Group B' European events.C16/UK RHD example manufactured on 03/02/1976Matching-numbers; Porsche CoA and service/handbooksTransformed into a rally car in 1984 and successfully rallied in Group B European eventsNumerous Works parts utilised, seam welded shell, oil cooler in rear whale tail, adjustable front anti-roll bars, Works torsion bars, quick rack and light podOther parts accompanying car include RSR front Bilstein struts, bag tank, torsion bars (2 x 7x16), Fuchs alloy wheels.The car’s decals and stripes are all painted not transfersThe interesting Carrera 3.0 is rightly regarded as somewhat of a special and rare model amongst the impact-bumper era, 911 model range. It was introduced in September 1975 for the 1976 model year and production only ran until 1977.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 200bhp 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 4200 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 (1093 kg) of the 3.0 Carrera compared to its successors. It is almost 6% lighter than the SC (1160kg), almost 10% lighter than the 3.2 (1210kg) and surprisingly, also weighs less than the later (1987-1989) stripped-down Carrera 3.2 Club Sport (1170kg).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.The Carrera 3.0 model was highly rated by Porsche gurus Michael Cotton, Lindsey Porter and Peter Morgan, and was the road car of choice of legendary British Rally champion Roger (Albert) Clark.The car presented here started life as UK-market Carrera 3.0 before being enhanced for rally driving in 1984 by an established driver named Mervyn Coxon; we understand that he may have had a connection at Prodrive and was able to utilise some very special componentry for the car (possibly Works parts including Kevlar-covered rear trailing arms etc.), whilst also seam-welding the bodyshell. He ran the car in 'Group B' European events, including the Rallye International de Wallonie (in Belgium) and Carling Killarney Rally of the Lakes before it was subsequently sold in 1987 to Dr Graham Rood, a well-known engineer, classic aviation and motorsport enthusiast/driver. He is an authority on Sunbeam Tigers and has owned a highly original Sunbeam Tiger Mk1A ex-works rally car, amongst others. We understand he owned this Carrera 3.0 for approximately 25 years.Our vendor, a well-known classic rally car driver, engineer and enthusiast, bought the car in 2013. He set about a thorough upgrade of it, including the fitting of modern, high-quality race seats, harnesses and a fire extinguisher. He fully restored the bodywork to the bare metal before professionally painting it, and adding the iconic 'Rothmans' livery, with the stripes being hand-painted (not stickers).He has used the car in a number of road-based events and for fast-road driving trips, where he describes its handling set-up as 'remarkable', allowing the power to be put down whilst cornering and exit at astonishing speeds, whilst inspiring real confidence, which comes from the sheer quality of engineering and its clever set-up.An attractively guided car with real provenance and abilities tested over many years, this is one for buyers who know their Porsches.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 3.0 RALLY CARYear: 1976Chassis Number: 9116600465Registration Number: TFA 345Engine Number: 6660574 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

Last raced at Silverstone October 2020JS Engine 500 miles since last rebuild. Box and diff 1 race since rebuildNew HTP papers in application – will be supplied with a fresh HTP for the new ownerThe Lotus Cortina's serendipitous arrival resulted directly from Ford's decision to step up their motorsport involvement in the early 1960s. Their Head of UK Public Relations, Walter Hayes, spoke to Colin Chapman, asking him to come up with a competitive saloon, using their mainstream Cortina as a base that could be produced in sufficient numbers to satisfy the mandatory 'Group 2' homologation requirements, and with which the Blue Oval could beat all comers. The solution was to take Ford's bullet-proof 1500 Kent engine, fit it with a twin-cam cylinder head, pop it into a stiffened Cortina shell, sort out the suspension and brakes and paint a green stripe down the side. The cars would be built by Lotus at its plant in Cheshunt and marketed through their dealer network as the Ford Cortina Lotus. Once fully developed, Lotus Cortinas (as they quickly became known) absolutely shone on track driven by household names including Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill, Jackie Ickx, Roger Clark and many, many more.This Cortina is a fast and well prepared car built to FIA 'Appendix K' regulations by the respected team at ‘Raceworks’. This particular example has an illustrious recent history, having won outright the 2017 Goodwood Members Meeting with highly-respected motoring journalist and driver, Richard Meaden at the wheel. Further to this significant result, Richard Meaden also won the highly coveted Silverstone Classic race in 2017, partnered by talented historic racer, Grant Tromans. There have been other competitive outings in the U2TC and Masters series over the years, with the last race at Silverstone in October 2020.We’re informed the JS engine has 500 miles on the unit since its last rebuild and the gearbox/diff have only been used for one race since the last rebuild. Interestingly, this example is also Road Registered, with a UK V5C as ‘CPB 408B’. New HTP papers have been applied for and should be with the seller any day now – this car will be supplied with the fresh set of papers for the new owner.To replicate this car would cost a lot more than the guide price, it’s a proven front runner in the right hands and we recommend interested parties get in touch and to come see the car for themselves at the Silverstone Classic event. SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: CORTINA (FIA APPENDIYear: 1965Chassis Number: Z74D424107RRegistration Number: CPB4 08BDrive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDClick here for more details and images

Within the history file are California Title documents showing that in 1994 it was registered to a Mr Swanson, however, subsequently it was purchased by car collector and gentleman racer, Gerry Kipling, and prepared by him for a life of circuit racing, largely in the Far East. The history file includes receipts that amount to some $500,000 Hong Kong dollars for race preparation and it duly won the 2011 GT International Classic Series in Malaysia with Mr Kipling at the wheel. The photographs attached show the car on track in a previous shade of blue. According to the accompanying correspondence from HMRC, the Mustang was imported into the UK in 2018, and whilst it remains unregistered with the DVLA, the letter confirms that there are no taxes or duties owing. Our vendor, a keen amateur racer, bought the car in 2019 and informs us that he since spent £50,000 on mechanical and restorative works, and while most receipts remain in the file, some were lost during a house move. Finished in Shelby Racing Blue with white stripes, the car now looks, every inch, the iconic ‘GT350’. There follows a spec-list which appears to indicate that no expense has been spared making sure that the Mustang remains competitive with top-quality, state of the art components used throughout, in fact, added up individually the sum would come to considerably in excess of today’s guide price.We believe that the Mustang will qualify for a number of UK and European Classic / Historic Championships, however, we would suggest that interested parties familiarise themselves with Championship Regulations to ensure the car with the below spec complies.EngineProducing 657 bhp and 577ft-lbs torque according to the dyno sheetDart block 351 Windsor with 9.5 deck bored/stroked to 427 (7 litre)AFR 225 headsJE-Race Tec pistonsForged- steel 4-inch ‘stroker’ crankEagle H RodsDry Sump with oil reservoir in bootCam Motion cam with solid flat tappets and Jesel rollersSuper Victor intakeRace prepared Quick Fuel 850 double-pumper Holley carbMSD ignition with adjustable shift lightHolley electric fuel pumpAlloy radiator and oil coolerAlloy fuel cellTransmissionRace prepared Jerico 4-speed ‘dog-box’ExhaustREEF hand-made stainless steel exhaust giving 98db at 4000rpmDifferentialFord 9” 3.9 gear LSD with Gold TrackSuspensionQA1 Fully-adjustable fronts600lb springsSolid-mounted castor rodsBump-steer kitCamber adjustment kitMid-eye 5-leaf springsFront 1.1/8 sway barDelrin bushesAdjustable Watts linkageBrakesWilwood 6-pot front and 4pot rears330 discs and bellsBodyGlass fibre bonnet1” front and rear flaresGlass fibre front wingsShelby Plexiglass “R” aero assisting rear windowSafetyFull welded-in cage with double door bars‘In date’ driver’s seat and belts‘In date’ electric fire extinguisher (serviced 02/21)Electric cutoff and extinguisher buttonsWheels & Tyres18 x 10 rears x 417 x 9 fronts x 4Nankang ARs x 1 setNankang NS-2R x 1 set SpecificationMake: FORDModel: MUSTANG FASTBACK GT350 RACE CARYear: 1965Chassis Number: SR09C188762Registration Number: TO BE REGISTEREDTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

A Series 3 E-Type that ticks all the boxes and a few more besides. One of the best V12s you will ever see.Supplied new to Henlys Jaguar of Bournemouth in September 1972Finished in its original shade of Silver with fully restored, body-coloured hard top. The quality of the paint finish is so good that it looks like polished AluminiumContrasting Dark Blue leather interior and matching Mohair HoodMatching-numbers engine now with injection and 5-speed Getrag gearboxUpgraded brakes and cooling systemComplete with comprehensive history file and photographic record of the rebuildOutstanding attention to detail throughoutAn original, UK-supplied Series 3 E-Type Jaguar that stands head and shoulders above the competition. Purchased in 2013, not just as a project, but as a project worthy of a restoration that would go above and beyond the norm. With the rebuild commencing in 1999, headway was made until things faltered and the car was mothballed until 2006 at which point a further six years of restoration were to follow. The standard of finish has to be seen to be believed and is a credit to the craftsmen that have returned this Jaguar to the road. Finished in its original shade of Silver with a matching hardtop, the attention to detail is rarely achieved, and with its 5.3-litre power unit now running injection backed up by a five-speed Getrag gearbox, this car gleams from stem to stern. The quality of the external finish is such that from a distance it looks like polished Aluminium. The interior is finished in dark blue hide with a matching dark blue Mohair hood and the whole car is detailed to within an inch of its life, be that under the bonnet, internally or underneath. Upgrades include a fully balanced engine on injection with lightened flywheel, high torque starter, dynamic engine damper, an AP clutch, plus attention to the cooling and braking system, adjustable rack and pinion steering, the digital odometer recording a distance of less that 1,500 miles since completion, the bespoke stainless steel exhaust system and much more. Accompanied by a comprehensive history file including restoration photographs, invoices and a Heritage Certificate, this is one Jaguar that will please the most pedantic and, in our humble opinion, a Series 3 E-Type in this colour combination with a hard top in place ticks all the boxes and then some.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: E-TYPE SERIES 3 ROADSTERYear: 1972Chassis Number: 1S1240BWRegistration Number: SCK 254KTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 1459 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Blue HideClick here for more details and images

Exquisite 1951, XK120 Coupé fully rebuilt in 2015 by Tester Engineering in the style of the 1951 factory 'LT' cars. Offered as part of 'A Jaguar Sporting Collection'Delivered new to New York in 1951 where it remained until being repatriated in 2014Fully rebuilt in 2015 by Tester Engineering in the style of the 1951 "LT" carsNew aluminium lightweight body hand-made by Gregson, painted by Normandale and interior by Tester Upholstery3.8-litre engine with triple Weber Carburettors and four-speed gearboxCampaigned in the 2015 Jaguar Heritage Challenge SeriesAlso piloted by Calum Lockie at the Donnington Historic Festival and Silverstone International Festival gaining 1st in classIn storage for 5 years but recently been subject to re-commissioning works and set-up time on the rolling roadPresented in outstanding condition, fully detailed throughout and ready for useIn 1951, William Lyons, having entered three of Jaguar’s new C-Type at that years Le Mans, became concerned that the cars may not be ready in time. As an insurance policy, he asked the 'Works' to prepare three special XK120s that would comply with the Le Mans regs and last for the 24 hours. These cars were the first XK120s since the initial run of 210 cars in 1949 and 1950 to have lightweight aluminium coachwork and featured lightweight alloy bodies and a subtly altered shape, outer sills and cut-down doors, one-piece rear, cut-in bonnet, and Brooklands-type aero screens. Known as LT1, LT2, and LT3, the cars were all set to go, however, their day of glory was denied as the C-Types were completed in time. All dressed up with nowhere to go, the three 'LT' cars sat around Browns Lane feeling sorry for themselves for a while until Charles Hornburg, the famous US West Coast Jaguar importer, spotted them during a visit. He promptly purchased the cars and exported them stateside, where Phil Hill masterfully drove one to 3rd overall and a class win in its very first race in August 1951.Supplied and delivered new to Jaguar distributors Hoffman of New York in October 1951, where it remained until repatriated in 2014, this outstanding XK120 Coupe was about to be transformed as an homage to the early factory lightweight cars and in particular one of the LT cars and continue its life with racing aspirations. Totally rebuilt over the following months by renowned Jaguar engineer Jim Tester of Tester Engineering to a standard rarely achieved, with an all new alloy body by Robert Gregson sitting on a fully refurbished and strengthened chassis externally finished to a superb level by Normandale. Mechanically, Tester rebuilt and fitted a 3.8 engine running triple Weber carburettors with full stainless sports manifold and exhaust, fitted disc brakes all round with adjustable suspension, adjustable pedal box, rebuilt rear axle with a Limited Slip Differential and Watts linkage. Internally, the same level of detail continued with a full cage, leather sports seats, harnesses and fire extinguisher system complimenting the other race accoutrements.Upon completion, the XK competed in two rounds of the 2015 Jaguar Heritage Challenge (Donnington Historic Festival and Silverstone International Festival) with a class win at Silverstone driven by Calum Lockie (multiple GT, Group 'C' and Endurance Champion). Remaining in storage until 2020, the car has now been fully recommissioned and is ready for use once again.This really is an extraordinarily beautiful car. The lines of the bespoke LT-style alloy bodywork add a sense of purpose and looks exactly as you would hope, a full-house Fifties racing Jaguar. This is countered by its presentation in a glorious shade of Midnight Blue with matching carpets and Navy Blue leather seats. Fit and finish are to Concours standards and the attention to detail is remarkable. It's correctly UK-registered with V5 documentation. An outstanding and beautifully finished XK Coupé that is crying out to be taken by the scruff of the neck and enjoyed once again.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XK 120 FHCYear: 1951Chassis Number: 679052Registration Number: XBV 206Transmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlueClick here for more details and images

From long-term ownership, a simply stunning example of a very rare car. Exceptionally rare, one of only 32 right-hand drive, 3.4-litre ‘S’ RoadstersThe 150 'S' delivered 250bhp with the aid of a Weslake-developed, straight-port cylinder head, high-compression pistons, triple 2” SU carburettors and twin fuel pumpsOriginally registered on 16/06/1959, the Jaguar was purchased by our vendor in 1970Several stalled restorations and life itself meant that this glorious XK150 eventually returned to the road in 2019The final leg was entrusted to Alan Holdaway, an established Concours Jaguar restorerThis was an 'every nut and bolt' restoration and the quality is unmatchedSupplied with the original Green Logbook, V5s, older MOTs, early photographs, the ownership story by the vendor and a very recent (April 2021) copy of Jaguar World with a six-page article and road test of JK 150With its flawless interior, tight shut-lines, immaculate paint, sparkling chrome and powerful, torquey straight-six, this a special example of a quintessential sporting Jaguar Launched in 1957, the Jaguar XK150 was the most radical step forward in the XK range since the launch of the revolutionary XK120. The XK150 was vastly different in both style and performance from the XK140 it replaced and was a much bigger step forward than had been taken from the 120 to the 140. The most striking external change was the straighter wing line, widened bonnet and single wrap-around windscreen, which replaced the now-dated two-piece split screen. This gave the XK150 an altogether more modern look. More generous interior space was also achieved by putting the doors on a diet and the wooden interior was lost in favour of leather-clad dashboard and door cappings.At 190bhp, the 3.4-litre 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. Only 92, right-hand drive, 3.4-litre roadsters were built, making a UK-supplied, RHD ‘S’ a bit of a rare beastie.According to its ‘Green’ Logbook, TS820043DN was first registered on 16/06/1959 finished in Signal Red but not much else is known about its early years. It certainly hadn’t been looked after as, when our vendor and the Jag’s long-term owner Chris Blackmore went to see it in response to an advert in ‘Exchange & Mart’, it was in a very poor state. It didn’t have any carpets, seats or a bonnet, the spare wheel well was rusted through, the interior was filthy and the engine didn’t run, however, a deal was done at £230 and JK 150 was subsequently registered to a young Chris Blackmore. Some 51 years later, he still owns the car and it is undoubtedly one of the best we have ever seen.However, the transformation from Ugly Duckling to Graceful Swan was not a linear one as the 150’s initial restoration was not altogether successful. The majority of the mechanical work was carried out by Chris himself (a trained mechanical engineer) and the bodywork was entrusted to legendary Cobra specialist, Rod Leach. At our vendor’s request, it was painted two-tone Turquoise Blue and Emerald Green, both Chrysler colours, which, we imagine sounded quite good on paper but ended up really clashing, resulting in the car being a bit of a head-turner, for the wrong reasons. (pictures in the History File). Nevertheless, Chris enjoyed the XK throughout the Seventies even venturing as far as Paris. Other aspects of ‘life’ took priority in the early Eighties and JK 150 was to spend the next 30-odd years in a succession of dry garages and lock-ups before the decision was taken in 2009 to return the car to a Concours standard.This time the restoration was to be comprehensive and, after a suggestion from Mick Duffy at the JDC, Alan Holdaway from Surrey was given the project. According to our vendor “Mick was, and still is, an XK aficionado and has had two XKs previously restored by Alan, both Concours winners”. Alan totally dismantled and then carefully rebuilt the car from the bottom up. All the nuts and bolts were plated, the chassis treated and then protectively painted, the engine rebuilt, the wiring replaced and the standard Moss gearbox was updated with a modern Toyota five-speed transmission. The body panels were repaired and prepared and the car was painted in an exquisite dark metallic red (details in the file). Finally, leading interior specialists, MCT in Nuneaton fitted a new hood and retrimmed the seats and dashboard to a fabulous standard as you can see from the images. Other financial commitments meant that the restoration was put on hold from time to time and this glorious XK150 eventually returned to the road in 2019.The car’s History File contains the original Green Logbook, V5s, older MOTs, photographs of the car in red and two-tone, the ownership story by the vendor and a very recent (April 2021) copy of Jaguar World with a six-page article and road test of JK 150. We understand that all the restoration invoices are available.With its flawless interior, tight shut-lines, immaculate paint, sparkling chrome and powerful, torquey straight-six, this a special example of a quintessential sporting Jaguar and as one of only 32, RHD, 3.4-litre ‘S’ Roadsters, it’s also rather rare.Click here for more details and images

Delightful Mk IV Mini, totally unmolested and incredibly only 2,699 miles from new.UK-supplied Mk IV in right-hand drive and fitted with an automatic gearboxA staggering 2,699 miles from new under its two ownersThe originality of this Mini has to be seen to be appreciatedZiebart-treated from new with impressive resultsFinished in crisp Leyland White with the rare Brown-striped, MGB-style 'Deck-Chair' seat coversSupplied with a history file, UK V5c and very sensibly guided for such a low-mileage, original exampleThe fourth iteration of the remarkable Mini arrived in 1976, although by this stage British Leyland was working on a new small car, the Mini Metro, which was widely expected to replace the Mini before too much longer. The new Mark IV had a front rubber-mounted subframe with single tower bolts and the rear frame was fitted with larger bushings, all intended to improve the car's mechanical refinement and to reduce noise levels. Twin column stalks for indicators and wipers were introduced, as were larger foot pedals. From 1977 onwards, the rear light clusters included reversing lights. 1979 was in fact the 20th anniversary of the Mini and the Mini 1000 would only last until July of that year before being replaced by the Mini City, the 850SDL and in August by the 1100 Special.This is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive Mark IV fitted with an automatic gearbox and has covered a staggering 2,699 miles from new. Remarkably this is a two owner car, with the first having owned this special car from new in 1979 all the way up to 2019 when it was then bought by our vendor to join his significant private collection.Purchased from Henlys in Barnes on 3rd October 1979 at a cost of £2,884.60 and ‘Ziebarted’ from new, the originality of this Mini has to be seen to be fully appreciated. The quality control stickers are on the inside of the rear brake backplates; these normally come off as soon as the car is used in the rain. The original service books are present together with the original invoice in the cars accompanying history file.Finished in crisp Leyland White with the rare Brown-striped, MGB-style 'Deck-Chair' seat covers, this Mini 1000 is supplied with a V5 registration document and the aforementioned history file. We welcome and encourage interested parties to book an appointment to come and see the car either at our storage facility before the sale or during the Silverstone Classic weekend itself.SpecificationMake: AUSTINModel: MINI 1000Year: 1979Chassis Number: XL2S1N664160ARegistration Number: JLP 187VTransmission: AutoEngine Number: 29562 Odometer Reading: 2699 MilesMake: Click here for more details and images

Presented in vibrant factory finish Brilliant DozerRecent MOT, oil and filter service at Unity Oxford on April 2021. UK-registered as LJ64 KVZVery rare on UK roads. A one-of-a-kind American super car, serious T/A weapon and will provide endless thrillsAfter a 2-year hiatus beginning in 2010, Dodge would revolutionize the Viper name with the introduction of the 5th generation in 2012. The essence would remain true to the Vipers of old: A large displacement V10 powering the rear wheels housed in a swooping body with a long bonnet. However, all the other finer details were subject to great change. Dodge had the defined goal of turning their once notorious widow maker into a more driver friendly, docile performer. Simultaneously, the interior fitments had to be a comfortable and luxurious place to be. These goals would all be thoroughly achieved with the new car. Every performance metric was increased thanks to 840bhp from the 8.4-litre engine, 4-piston Brembo brakes delivering immense stopping power, massive Pirelli tires glueing the car to the road and an aluminium and carbon construction ensuring both stiffness and light weight. Most importantly, computer aided traction control systems made their first appearance ever on a Viper, greatly decreasing the likelihood of wheelspin. This was a fundamentally much more refined car and would be competitive with just about all of its contemporary rivals. The vehicle on offer, a TA 2.0 specification, is a particularly special breed within the Viper lineage. These 'Time Attack' models turn things up to the max by adding more performance to what is already a really quick car. The suspension stiffened all around thanks to retuned Bilstein shocks, increased spring rates, thicker roll bars, and a carbon fibre cross-brace under the bonnet. Lighter wheels and more powerful Brembo brakes round out the mechanical updates. Aerodynamically is where the most dramatic upgrades occurred. A more aggressive two-piece splitter is fitted up front and the rear received a larger carbon spoiler. The 2.0 TA seen here is a development of the 1.0 package and includes all the features listed plus a large rear wing and canards up front boosting downforce to 400lbs at 150mph. Delivered new to San Diego, California in 2015, finished in a retina-singeing shade of orange known as 'Brilliant Dozer', this left-hand drive, manual gearbox, V10 TA 2.0 Viper has had just two owners since leaving the factory. It was imported to the UK in 2018, registered as ‘LJ64 KVZ’ and has resided in his significant private collection ever since. The odometer indicates that it has only covered 2,365 miles from new and appears in excellent condition today.In April of this year it was sent to ‘Unity Oxford’ for an oil and filter service along with a fresh MOT ensuring its ready for its next owner to enjoy the serious performance on offer here. A very rare and desirable car, especially on UK roads, this is a one-of-a-kind American super car, serious T/A weapon and will provide endless thrills.SpecificationMake: DODGEModel: VIPER TA 2.0 6-SPEED COUPEYear: 2015Chassis Number: 1C3ADEAZ9FV510303Registration Number: LJ64 KVZTransmission: ManualEngine Number: P05045513CB Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 2371 MilesMake: LHDClick here for more details and images

A delightful 355 soft top, UK-supplied, RHD, manual gearbox, TDF Blue and less than 28,000 miles.UK-supplied, right-hand drive, manual gearbox car. First registered on 20/03/1997Attractively finished in Tour de France Blue with a Tan (Cuoio) leather interior27,588 miles with a comprehensive service history (Ferrari and specialists)Booked in for an oil service, cam belts and a fresh MOT immediately prior to our sale in late July Accompanied by its original leather wallet with the manuals and MOT Certificates going back to 2000The 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 20/03/1997 and is finished in Tour de France Blue with a Tan (Cuoio)leather interior. The current mileage is 27,588 and the car is booked in for an oil service, cam belts and a fresh MOT immediately prior to our sale in late July.

With a driver's mileage of 57,321, this lovely 456 offers a rare package of luxury GT motoring and a manual gearbox, V12 driving experience.First registered on the 01/03/1996 and finished in Nero with matching Nero interior, a rare combination for the 456Maranello Concessionaires Archive confirms that just 141 manual 456 GTs were supplied to the UK with a base price of £145,0005.5-litre, 48-valve, V12 derived from the Dino V6. 436bhp, 0-60 in 5.2 secondsThe odometer indicates 57,321 miles making the car eminently usable without having to be concerned about adding a few miles to a ridiculously low-mileage exampleSupplied to auction with book packs that includes the service book and an advisory-free MOT Certificate valid until 16th June 2022Very few cars at this estimate offer a 6-speed manual gearbox mated to a V12 engine with luxurious interior and a Ferrari badgeThe 456's looks are smooth and understated, and distinctive external features include a small grille with fog lights on the outside, bonnet-mounted air scoops, a motorised undercarriage spoiler that begins its deployment above 65 mph, and pop-up headlights, making this the last Ferrari to do so. By today’s standards the 456 can be viewed as the last Ferrari to offer uncompromising styling and luxury interior comfort. 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 it was eventually replaced in 2004 by the 612 Scaglietti. The Maranello Concessionaires Archive confirms that just 141 manual 456 GTs were supplied to the UK. 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 secs, and a top speed of 188mph, the 456 has a relatively unstressed engine which has proven to be a very reliable unit. Developed during the Schumacher era, the 456's construction was ground-breaking featuring composite and aluminium bodywork, cutting-edge body to chassis mating technology, along with four-wheel electronically adjustable suspension, resulting in a super lightweight 1,690 kg. The Ferrari 456 had no direct rival, as it does today, the antiqued Aston Martin V8 was too bloated and the Porsche 911 was simply not special enough. When this 456 GT was specified in Nero coachwork with a matching Nero leather interior, it not only bucked the trend for the 456 but also the GT market at the time. Black paint was the preserve of aggressive sports cars of the 1980s, and by the mid-1990s the supercar market had moved towards a softer palette or established 'on brand' marque colours. Most Ferraris of the ‘90s either came in traditional Rossa Corsa (predictable), Giallo Fly (lairy), Argento (boring) or Nero, combining understatement and aggression in one colour. This car’s triple black combination beautifully offsets the aluminium instruments and open-gate gear shift like no other 456. Offered to auction with a history file that includes the book pack and the stamped service book. At the time of cataloguing the indicated mileage was 57,321 and the advisory free MOT Certificate is valid until 11th June 2022. At the estimate this car offers a unique opportunity to gain entry to the rarefied world of manual gearbox, V12 Ferraris whilst offering a relatively modern driving experience Whilst the rear seats offer limited long-range comfort to adults we can predict few rear passengers would turn down the opportunity to arrive in this lovely car. These cars offer real value, are comfortable, quick and are eminently usable allowing a new owner to enjoy spirted driving without being too precious about everything. A desirable 456, very sensibly guided and worth a close inspection.

A multi-talented little TVR racer from 1970, the essence of Club Motorsport fifty years ago.Dating from 1969, this is a factory-built Tuscan V6 LightweightRaced extensively in Modsports 1970 - 1973 with 24 wins and 61 PodiumsRetired from competition around 30 years ago, remaining in storagePurchased by Jason Clegg who commenced a sympathetic restorationFord 3.1-litre Essex V6, rebuilt with parts, help and advice from Ric WoodFull build spec belowPurchased by our vendor, a TVR aficionado, around three years agoFully road-registered and running well but only lightly used recentlyThis venerable TVR Tuscan V6 was first registered in December 1969, and despite looking like an out and out racecar, is a perfectly viable road-registered road car with a wonderful motorsport history The car was successful straight 'out of the box' winning the 1970 Modsports Championship in the hands of Dr .Rod Longton, a General Practitioner. He took delivery of the car in factory-built form with factory options including a lightweight and modified body, a full roll-cage and Koni shock absorbers. This highly respected amateur race driver then campaigned his Tuscan V6 at the front of the field, against Healey 3000s, AC Cobras and Jaguar E-Types throughout the following three seasons, sponsored by the selling dealership - Lockhart Sportscars of Chithurst in Hampshire.The Tuscan's Competition History for the first four seasons is recorded, as follows:1970 - Races 19 - 1st 9 - 2nd 7 - 3rd 11971 - Races 19 - 1st 4 - 2nd 5 - 3rd 81972 - Races 19 - 1st 5 - 2nd 9 - 3rd 41973 - Races 12 - 1st 6 - 2nd 2 - 3rd 1Obviously a very competitive car.Approximately 30 years ago, CLM 99H dropped a valve during a season of hill-climbing in the hands of its second owner, Jack Dilley of Hurley in Berkshire. The car was put back in its garage and the engine removed and taken apart. It then sat there forlornly for 28 years, before It was offered to and purchased by Mr Jason Clegg.He spent a couple of months deciding which route to follow with the car, before deciding that a sympathetic restoration was the best way forward. The body was removed and all mechanical parts were overhauled. The external bodywork and interior were left as original as possible - with various battle scars preserved and the patina of hard competition evident! Full details of the restoration are available from our consignor but the basic build details are as follows;Factory built Tuscan V6 Lightweight with modified bodyOriginal factory roll-cageFord 3.1-litre Essex V6, rebuilt with parts, help & advice from Ric WoodForged pistons, gas-flowed heads, balanced bottom end, alloy timing wheel, baffled sump, roller rockers, triple downdraft Weber carbsCeramic-coated 3-into-1 manifolds with custom side-exit systemAlloy radiator & electric fanRebuilt Capri 3-litre close-ratio gearboxRebuilt 3.7:1 Powerlock diffIntrax adjustable dampers & springs8" Cooper F1 wheels at the front, 10" Pearce wheels at the rearPeriod-style Michelin tyres all round.The TVR was duly sold three years ago to a genuine TVR aficionado, who also collects historic motorbikes. As you would expect, he kept the car in tip top form, using it on the road in appropriate conditions and on suitable track days at Goodwood and elsewhere. All these outings and associated work on the car were of course recorded. The car's previous owner recognised the importance of collecting as much of the history of the car, and of the motor racing scene "Back in the day", and our vendor has added much extra content to the car’s very full provenance records. These include, a copy of the original factory build-sheet dated 28th Nov.1969, the original green logbook (showing only 2 owners!), a notebook with race specs & settings from 1974, a letter from TVR, the Bill of Sale from the first owner Dr Rod Longton to the second owner, various receipts & invoices, Race Programmes (some with this car on the cover),period photographs from various race meetings, and a number of scrutineering passes.The car also features in various articles and TVR publications throughout the years.The car is currently brightly finished in Dark Blue over Electric Blue with a functional black interior. Previous owners have made a point of keeping the car mechanically sound but retaining it's well- used outward appearance and working cockpit. It's a fibreglass-bodied racing car and they all flex and move, because they are supposed to, and cracks in the gel-coat are inevitable. In addition, CLM 99H proudly displays the evidence of a hairpin kiss or two and the occasional cuddle, part and parcel of close club racing. It would obviously be possible to strip and repaint the car but those battle scars are evidence of a determined fight to the top step of the podium many years ago and deserve to stay.CLM 99H has not ventured too far recently with all the restrictions but has managed a couple of Breakfast meets – at Bicester Heritage and also the Suffolk Petrolheads one and only meet of 2020! According to our vendor, "It always attracts lots of attention due to its rarity/racing heritage. I have thoroughly enjoyed driving it on the road over the past year and it’s unlike any other TVR I’ve owned! This little TVR has a big character… and when it’s on a charge it sounds as though fireworks are exploding around my ears"This is a great opportunity to acquire a 1969 V6 Tuscan, a valuable classic in it's own right but, in this case, its value is enhanced by its sheer versatility, with circuit racing, track-days and Car Club days-out all on the cards.

Offered directly from the collection of Richard Hammond, this is a lovely, five-owners from new, example of Bentley's game-changing S2.Standard Steel S2 from 1959 looking fabulous in Silver Blue over Midnight BlueSubject to extensive bodywork refurbishment in the recent pastThe gearbox was replaced two years ago. New tyres fairly recently The current indicated mileage is in the region of 63,000 Supplied with some original tools, torch etc., photographs of the refurb, an old log book, Chassis build-sheet and its V5 As the sixties approached, Bentley turned to V8 power as a way of keeping up with its luxury rivals, especially in America. A radical change was on the cards in 1959 as Bentley felt their faithful straight-six engine was getting a bit 'long in the tooth' and in the search for a more modern power unit, they turned to the General Motors-inspired 6,230cc, all-aluminium V8. The new engine was an entirely new departure for Bentley and caused some consternation amongst traditional Bentley customers, however, in execution, their worries were short-lived, as the new power unit delivered more performance with unparalleled smoothness, creating a standard for the rest of the century and ultimately the 'S2' set the benchmark for others to follow.The extra power produced by the V8 enabled the Bentley to now exceed 110 mph, with a respectable 0-60 time of 10.9 seconds. Visually, the new model was near identical to the previous six-cylinder cars, but with a 120 mph speedo now fitted and a more suitable smaller steering wheel, as power steering was now standard. Additional advancements included fully automatic transmission, electrically operated ride-control and a redesigned and more flexible heating and fresh air ventilation system. Most Bentley S2s carried factory 'Standard Steel Saloon' coachwork, satisfying the company's commercial requirements, and in total 2,308 Bentley S2s slid quietly through the doors of the Crewe works. This delightful S2 dates from 1959 and has been enjoyed by five owners in total including our vendor, Richard Hammond. We understand that it's been subject to extensive bodywork refurbishment fairly recently to return the venerable Bentley to top form and it's now resplendent in its original colours of Silver Blue over Midnight Blue with an excellent blue hide interior. The gearbox was replaced two years ago and the current indicated mileage is in the region of 63,000 miles.We are advised that the tyres are recent and the car is accompanied by its original tools, torch etc. and photographs of the refurb, old log book and the Chassis build-sheet. The V5 has been applied for.

Full comprehensive restoration to the very highest of standards.SEV 267 is an E-Series Silver Cloud III that dates from 25/11/1963Now finished in Deep Royal Blue with Magnolia hideSubject of a four-year restoration to the highest of standards by one of the UK’s most talented restorersFastidious attention to detail throughout. Lots of nice touchesMechanically fully rebuilt - superb engine bay. Accompanied by a comprehensive photographic record of the rebuild and copies of the factory build-sheetsThe original registration number OYM 226A remains assigned to the Rolls RoyceUnderstated and discrete they may be but Silver Cloud IIIs certainly make a statementNB: This stunning Silver Cloud was sold at our last sale however due to an unexpected change in the purchasers personal circumstances we are delighted to be able to offer once again.Launched in 1962, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III and its Bentley S3 equivalent employed the 6.2-litre V8 engine introduced on the 'Cloud II/S2 - though with larger carburettors, new distributor and raised compression ratio - and came with a four-speed GM-derived automatic transmission as standard equipment. Most obvious among many changes from the preceding models was the adoption of four-headlamp lighting, the absence of sidelights from the wing tops, and a slightly lower radiator shell. Inside there was improved accommodation with separate front seats and increased room for rear passengers. Notable as the last mainstream Rolls-Royce to employ a separate chassis, the Silver Cloud III proved immensely successful both at home and abroad, remaining in production until the autumn of 1965.  Despatched on 25 November 1963 in nondescript red, this exceptional Rolls Royce Cloud III is now finished in much more pleasing Deep Royal Blue with full Magnolia Hide piped Blue, an inspired choice giving a regal feeling to this most imposing motor vehicle. Purchased some years ago as a total project and in much need of love and attention, the services of Peter Rose, of ‘Classic Restoration’ an independent Rolls Royce specialist, were employed to bring this particular Rolls-Royce up to its current level. Many restorers would have walked away, such was the condition, but thankfully Peter and our vendor ploughed on, returning the Cloud to the road after a comprehensive and painstaking rebuild over a four-year period, a true labour of love that would be beyond many talented craftsmen. Having worked together over many years on similar projects, the relationship once again bore fruit resulting in a triumphant Concours win at the Rolls-Royce National Rally in 2012. We are informed that the parts alone for this stunning Cloud III amounted to in excess of £50,000, therefore with labour costs and the donor vehicle a considerable sum of money was very clearly devoured during the project. Every nut, bolt, washer and screw has received attention, the body totally restored, the engine and gearbox have been rebuilt and fully detailed and the final drive totally refurbished.The interior of this venerable Silver Cloud is simply remarkable. The Burr Walnut dashboard appears flawless, there are marquetry panels inset into the Walnut door cards and the door caps have solid silver ‘RR’ inlays created specifically for the Cloud in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham. Even the more modern Satellite Navigation system is discreetly hidden away so as not to give the game away.Accompanied by a comprehensive photographic record of the rebuild and copies of the factory build sheets, this magnificent Cloud III is ready once again to discretely whisk its lucky owners and their guests in amazing comfort to their destination and to arrive in the style normally reserved for what was, at the time, ‘The Best Car in the World’.SpecificationMake: ROLLS ROYCEModel: SILVER CLOUD IIIYear: 1963Chassis Number: SEV267Registration Number: TOF 8Transmission: AutoEngine Number: S3547Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Magnolia HideClick here for more details and images

Built around a massive cruciform-braced chassis with independent front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, it was fitted with a freshly developed 4257cc OISE (overhead inlet side exhaust valve) straight-six engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. Capable of over 100mph when clad in the factory's understated 'standard steel saloon' coachwork, the MKVI quickly developed a reputation for being a refined yet responsive drive. Offered here is a charming example of the Mark VI that was delivered new to The Bristol Motor Company in 1951 and later became the personal London car of a prominent Prince of the Royal Saudi family. Purchased by The Bristol Motor Company as a demonstrator in 1951, it was sold to Arthur Short Esq. in December 1951 before ownership passed to H.R.H. Prince Turki Al Faisal who had the Bentley fully restored by Jack Barclay in 1997. With the car is a fascinating history file containing original factory build-sheets and specifications, invoices for work conducted by Frank Dale and a detailed account of the full restoration by Jack Barclay.The Mark VI still carries its original registration from 1951 and, during the 1997 restoration, the Black Belco coachwork was enhanced by a Mustard Yellow two-tone finish highlighting the bodylines, and it seems the favoured colour combination for a two-year stay in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The history file contains shipping details (returned to the UK in 1999) and plenty of correspondence to Jack Barclay and the shipping agents responsible for the Bentleys visit to Saudi Arabia. It seems it also spent time in Paris on the Champs-Élysées with the French registration, 664 ARV 92. The file also contains letters outlining Jack Barclay's collection of the car from Paris in June 1996 by covered wagon before they embarked on their comprehensive restoration.The interior was totally restored in beautiful tan leather and all woodwork suitably rejuvenated. Receipts are in the file totalling approximately £47,000. Amazingly, despite all its adventures, the original tool kit, bulbs and all, appear to have remained intact.All in all, this is a beautiful Bentley with a fascinating timeline and offers a splendid opportunity to enjoy the ultimate in Fifties' prestige saloon ownership. Probably unrepeatable at this guide level, a real delight and truly on the button.SpecificationMake: BENTLEYModel: MARK VIYear: 1950Chassis Number: B233JNRegistration Number: NHW 788Transmission: ManualEngine Number: B241JMake: Interior Colour: Light TanClick here for more details and images

Beautifully restored and upgraded by our vendor, the car's third owner, with known history from new.According to the S.T.O.C. Register of Sunbeam Tigers this car was produced for the UK market in 1965 and registered on the 04/01/1966A copy Bill of Sale on file states that the Tiger was sold by the first owner to the 02/04/1976 for £570.00!Bought by our vendor in 2016, its third owner, as a project, the no- expense-spared restoration took five yearsThe original matching numbers engine has been retained together with a number of original partsThe 302ci (5-litre) V8 is fitted with Federal Mogul Sealed Power pistons, Comp Cams high-performance street cam and valve springs and liftersLimited slip differential by Competition Transmission Services and a McLeod high- performance clutch assemblyThe list of works is extensive, the finish exemplary (the re-spray cost £12,000) and the car is to feature in an upcoming edition of Practical Classics MagazineVery rarely does a car of this age come to market with known history from new and in a condition that sets the standard for restored Sunbeam TigersInstantly recognisable but somewhat overshadowed by Jaguar’s E-Type, the West Coast Sales Manager of Rootes American Motors Inc., Ian Garrad, realised that the Sunbeam Alpine's image was that of a touring car rather than a sports car and he set about changing its image using the Shelby Cobra as a guide. Sunbeam asked Carroll Shelby to produce one functional prototype and this was fabricated by Shelby employee George Boskoff and sent to England for evaluation. The Tiger was born. After carrying out doing extensive engineering studies, the Rootes Group sub-contracted development and production to Jensen, located in West Bromwich and eventually, production of the Tiger totalled 7,085 cars.According to the Sunbeam Tiger Owners Club Register, this delightful example was manufactured for the UK market in right-hand drive in 1965 and registered to the first owner on the 4th January 1966. The detailed history file includes a copy Bill of Sale dated 10th April 1976 that confirms the sale of ‘EFY 129D’ to a Mr J.P. Bush of Oxfordshire for the princely sum of £570.00. An accompanying MOT test certificate states the mileage on June 10th 1977 as 82,412 miles. Mr Bush was to keep the car until 19th February 2016 when it was purchased by our newly retired vendor as a project. The car had been off the road in dry storage for some decades due, no doubt, to the original matching-numbers engine having seized. The Tiger is now fully returned to its former glory and, pleasingly, retains this original engine together with many other original parts.Our vendor has provided the following information on the mechanical restoration and upgrades:Engine302ci block bored to .030” oversize. 302 crankshaft re-ground to plus .020”. ‘Federal Mogul Sealed Power’ pistons with Moly slip rings. ‘Comp Cams’ High-performance street cam. ‘Comp Cams’ valve springs & lifters. 289 high-compression heads polished & ported with new hardened valve seats and guides.

The history file is a delight to read and includes the aforementioned historical receipts and MOTs together with the most recent receipts. We very rarely see a three owner car from the 1960s and the quality of the restoration and mechanical upgrades is a testament to our vendor.

Matching numbers and extensively upgraded since 2005 to 'fast-road' specification for the personal use of a former F1 team engineer.• Dispatched on 25/02/1963 to Jaguar Cars in New York for onward delivery to San Jose, California• Imported to the UK and registered on the 10th June 1993, our vendor purchased the matching numbers E-Type in 2005• The engine was rebuilt with new pistons, bearings, chains, high-flow oil filter and 2-inch Burlen carbs with flame guards• A new clutch was fitted together with a Derek Watson suspension kit, uprated brakes and 2-inch full-flow stainless exhaust system• Aluminium inner wings, ex-Modsports GRP racing bonnet with 22 aluminium louvres and lightweight headlight covers over new headlights• Three full ring-bound folders document the exhaustive list of receipted works and the odometer reading is some 1,500 miles (atoc)• As a former mechanical engineer in F1 racing and currently professor of automotive technology management, our vendor is meticulous• A unique opportunity to purchase a matching-numbers, early E-Type for speedy UK jaunts and perfect for continental touring. Volumes have been written about the E-Type and as this very special example demands serious attention, we shall go straight in. The accompanying Heritage Certificate confirms that the car was manufactured on the 7th February 1963 in left-hand drive and finished in Opalescent Dark Green with a Suede Green interior, the combination it wears today, and further confirms matching numbers engine and gearbox. Originally delivered to a Mr J.W. Smith of San Jose, California, a parking permit for the Santa Barbara Waterfront dated 1991 is still affixed to the windscreen today, the car was repatriated on the 10th June 1993 when it was registered in the UK, and subsequently purchased by our vendor on the 23rd December 2005.Joining his extensive collection of cars, and resisting the urge to convert to right-hand drive, the intention was to create the ultimate 'fast-road' E-Type, retaining factory colours, whilst upgrading the car’s engine, suspension, brakes and auxiliaries using components supplied by specialists in the world of competition E-Types. Having spent a lifetime engaged in automotive engineering, mostly with competition cars, he was quite clear about the modifications and the exact components required to fulfil the 'fast-road car' brief.A mechanical engineer, he started his career with the Rootes Group before moving into both Formula 1 and later Formula 2 as a development engineer working with drivers such as John Surtees and Graham Hill. Whilst retaining a passion for racing cars and motorbikes he subsequently moved into academia becoming Professor of Automotive Technology Management. A noted expert in his field, he has sat on various government and international committees relating to the automotive industry and was awarded a CBE by Her Majesty The Queen in recognition of his service to the industry.Full build details can be supplied via email, but we state in brief the extensive works carried out. The original engine was fully rebuilt; the head was restored and fitted with new 9.1 CR pistons with uprated rings, new seals, bearings and chains were fitted throughout together with an uprated oil pump. Burlen Fuel Systems supplied a trio of their bespoke 2in SUs with short bellmouths and flame guards, electronic ignition was fitted together with new electrical auxiliaries connected to a period-painted Lucas type battery. A new 2in full-flow stainless steel exhaust system provides a glorious soundtrack. The original gearbox was overhauled within the past 500 miles and mated to a new clutch and flywheel. Derek Watson was retained to upgrade the front suspension with improved wishbones, 4-pot Jaguar callipers and ventilated discs, as well as competition steering rack, roll-bar, bushes and XJS uprights and bearings with stainless steel brake lines. Four new MWS wire wheels, painted in body colour, enhanced by 2-eared chrome plated knock-offs, are shod with Pirelli P4000 tyres. To complement the mechanical works, a replica 'Lightweight E-Type' GRP competition bonnet with 22 aluminium louvres joined new aluminium inner wings, space-frame panels and new headlights under 'Lightweight' headlight covers.Attention to the cabin included retrimming the competition leather seats and door cards, a new headlining and fresh carpets. Modern engine management technology is discreetly represented by a Derek Watson supplied temperature switch with JEC oil pressure gauge kit and sender unit and the 1963 period Motorola radio has been converted to MP3. The receipts for parts and invoices for all these works are neatly documented in three ring-binder folders and include the aforementioned Heritage Certificate, correspondence and paperwork. The odometer reading of some 1,500 miles, (at the time of cataloguing), is largely immaterial when considering the work carried out and the MOT is valid until the 4th October 2021. Very rarely does a matching-numbers E-Type in original left-hand drive and factory delivered colours come to market, and even less frequently one that has been treated to bespoke, circuit-focussed upgrades by a Formula 1 development engineer for his own enjoyment. Many 'fast-road' E-Types are simply a collection of parts from different specialists and are frequently not much fun to drive, whereas 'APB' has been engineered in a cohesive and intelligent way, carefully set-up, further tweaked, and set-up again, all of which has resulted in a simply spectacular road car Regretfully offered to auction due to our vendor’s advancing years and limited mobility, this is a great opportunity to enjoy this superb handling, left-hand drive, fully rebuilt Grand Tourer on long continental trips.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: E-TYPEYear: 1963Chassis Number: 888221Registration Number: APB 883ATransmission: ManualEngine Number: RA1088-9 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 1500 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: GreenClick here for more details and images

Sensibly upgraded, 210bhp, 3.4-litre, 150 Special Equipment from long-term ownership.An original, UK-supplied, RHD, Special Equipment, manual gearbox/overdrive carIntelligently upgraded with the emphasis on enjoyable high-speed touringGetrag 5-speed gearbox fitted in 2013 by Guy BroadCoopercraft front callipers and Koni Classic dampersElectronic ignition and electric cooling fanSuperbly presented in Gloss Black over a light grey interior with chrome wiresGood history file with JDHT Certificate A real drivers specification 150 SE described by our multiple XK150 owner/vendor as the best driving example he has owned778 BWP is a Jaguar XK150 3.4-litre Fixed-head Coupe built to SE specification (manual gearbox with overdrive) and was despatched from the factory to Jaguar dealers, Rothwell and Milbourne of Malvern, on 9th September 1960 and onwards to its first owner, Dr. E J Fitzpatrick.Little is known of the car’s early history, until it became the property of Bill Dick who had traded in his Series1 E-Type 3.8 with M.R. Buckeridge, Classic Jaguar Specialists against his purchase of 778 BWP. He was fastidious in his record-keeping as a detailed log of work carried out on the car and journeys taken by him from 1988 onwards testify. The MOT history and supporting information from 1986 to 2002 shows regular, limited-mileage use backed up by some detailed descriptions of attention to the car, including invoices from the now-famous Mathewsons of Roxby Garage, Thornton Le Dale in 1997.The car passed from Mr Dick’s ownership into the hands Mr J Weatherill who commissioned a major restoration at Robinson and Goodwin Jaguar Specialists in Grimsby, between 2002 and 2005, costing over £30,000 to complete. The supporting documentation confirms an engine rebuild, rewire, repairs and paint to the bodywork and the current condition of the car carries evidence of the quality of the work carried out.The XK was then driven to Spain in 2005 where it remained until 2009/2010, during which time the Spanish documentation confirms the car was maintained in accordance with the Spanish equivalent of MOT standards on an annual basis.In 2011 the car was purchased by Mr A Wood who kept the car on SORN until purchased by our vendor at the Silverstone Auctions Classic Motor Sale at the Birmingham NEC in November 2013.He writes; “Before me bidding for the car I asked Guy Broad to give me his view of the Jaguar and its condition. Based on this very promising report, it was collected by him and given an exacting recommissioning at Guy’s Browns Lane Garage. Since then, it’s been kept under a strict regime of fully documented service, repair, and improvement over my very enjoyable term of custodianship of this classic Jaguar.In summary, 778 BWP has had over £43,000 invested in her since 2003 and remains in tip-top condition providing reliable and enjoyable transport to me since 2013. Although black is not the original colour, when offset against the excellent chrome it makes for a very special vehicle ready for many more years of fantastic touring fun.”Superbly presented in Gloss Black over a light grey interior with chrome wires, it has been intelligently upgraded with the emphasis on enjoyable high-speed touring, including a Getrag 5-speed gearbox fitted in 2013 by Guy Broad, Coopercraft front callipers, Koni Classic dampers, electronic ignition and an electric cooling fanHe has also asked us to include the following; “The only known issue is that the clutch release bearing occasionally squeals a little – it has done this since I got it and may have been noted at the NEC sale from which I purchased the car in November 2013. Guy Broad suggested it would not require attention at the time he re-commissioned the car and it is something I have got used to and just ignore as it soon goes away. It is intermittent and may not appear but I am happier that people know it is not an issue of concern and may be a lack of use thing.”The XK is currently being detailed and fettled in time for the sale and will no doubt look even more impressive when it arrives. This is a delightful example of one of Jaguar’s most stylish and elegant GTs, and will reward any inspection.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XK150 SEYear: 1960Chassis Number: S825333DNRegistration Number: 778 BWPTransmission: ManualEngine Number: V7614-8 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey/LeatherClick here for more details and images

Comprehensively restored and matching numbers MK 2 Jaguar sporting the desirable manual gearbox with overdrive. Absolutely stunning throughout.UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 3.8-litre MK2 with a manual gearbox and overdriveComprehensively stripped and restored over a period of two years, costing c.£50,000 in totalSuperbly finished in Opalescent Gunmetal over Bordeaux leather, a classic combinationLess than 1,000 miles covered since rebuildNumerous considerate upgrades to improve performance and usabilityMatching numbers throughout, as confirmed by Jaguar Heritage Trust CertificateThis lovely Mk 2's previous owner was somewhat of a Jaguar aficionado, and had enjoyed the car between 1996 and 2016, using it sparingly as part of his modest collection. The car was known to our vendor for around ten years prior to his purchase and he had often expressed an interest in owning it. The opportunity arose in 2016 and with 55,535 miles on the odometer, our vendor shipped the vehicle, along with an impressive collection of NOS panels and spare parts courtesy of the prior owner, off to those knowledgeable folks at The Splined Hub, who stripped the car down in its entirety and rebuilt it from the ground-up, addressing any issues that they found along the way.Whilst it certainly doesn’t do justice to the level of work done, a brief overview of the restoration process shows that the shell was stripped, dipped and then re-sprayed in the correct Opalescent Gunmetal, whilst the interior was also completely re-upholstered in Bordeaux Red, including new seats, new carpets, fresh veneers, a Moto-Lita steering wheel and a retro-style modern stereo resulting in a Mk 2 Jaguar that looks virtually factory-fresh and benefits from improved creature comforts.The wheels are an entirely new set with the correct knock-off hubs, sitting on a set of matching tyres that have covered less than 1,000 miles since fitting.Under the bonnet, the engine was fully stripped down and upgraded with 9:1 compression pistons, electronic ignition, a set of electronic fans were fitted to keep the car cool in modern traffic, along with a full negative-earth wiring conversion. The braking system was also uprated with four-pot front brakes and 22mm vented-discs.Included with the vehicle is a plethora of photographs documenting the restoration process, along with every invoice and receipt from the restoration itself, totalling around £50,000. In addition to this, the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate is present, confirming that the Mk 2 has been restored to the correct factory specification, along with confirming that this is, indeed, a numbers-matching example.Presented in outstanding condition throughout, this 1965 Mk 2 Jaguar is a true collector’s piece, but one that can also be used and enjoyed without the usual reliability fears associated with cars of this era. A classic sixties Jaguar sporting saloon and a wonderful example of the breed.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: MK 2Year: 1965Chassis Number: 233126DNRegistration Number: AHJ 72CTransmission: Manual/ODEngine Number: LE1254-8 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 56150 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Red/LeatherClick here for more details and images

An older restoration from long-term ownership with a realistic price guide.A UK-supplied, Series 3, 2+2 manual in Jaguar Signal RedRecently emerged from 43 years in ownership and now ripe for a new custodianCovering just 51,380 miles indicated and has covered only 2,160 miles since 1978Maintained and described by our vendor as matching engine, chassis and manual gearbox, supported by early Jaguar Heritage CertificateDetailed history file including the original operating, maintenance and service handbook, operation manuals and parts catalogueA decade after the original Jaguar E-Type arrived, the design progressively matured through 1971 with the introduction of the Series 3. Designed to showcase the new smooth and torquey 5.3-litre engine, originally developed for Le Mans, the Series 3 cars were available as a 'Roadster' (convertible) or a '2+2' Coupe. The Series 3 is easily identifiable by its large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tyres, a larger bonnet bulge, updated bumpers, four exhaust tips, and a badge on the rear that proclaims it to be a V12. It also featured uprated brakes, power steering as standard and a large horizontal scoop added to the underside of the bonnet to assist with cooling. The interior was entirely new in the V12, with more comfortable seating, stylish new door panels and a smaller, dished and leather-rimmed steering wheel. Being slightly larger and altogether much softer in nature, the E-Type in Series 3 form had lost the wildness of its youth but gained the long-legged touring profile, to which it was arguably better suited.The lovely example on offer here is an original UK-supplied, right-hand drive car, factory-specified with the desirable manual gearbox and finished in Signal Red with a black leather interior, arguably, one of the best-suited colour combinations for the Plus 2 silhouette.Our vendor purchased the Jaguar in 1978 and, whilst overall it presented in good condition, by the late 80s areas of the vehicle were suffering from age related wear and tear. At that point he decided to commission a sympathetic nut and bolt restoration of the engine, body, and subframes including a stainless steel exhaust system. The previous owner kept details of all his expenditure and, accompanying the car, are personal records made during his tenure.Also supplied with the car are a number of invoices and MOTs dating back to 1978, and other partial history including the newspaper advert and original Bill of Sale from 1978.Coming from long term private ownership of over 40 years, and now showing just 51,380 miles, this venerable Series 3 is now ready to start the next chapter of its life and be enjoyed for many more years.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: E-TYPEYear: 1971Chassis Number: 1S50577Registration Number: PGU 975KTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 7S3849SADrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 51380 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black/LeatherClick here for more details and images

First registered on 22 June 1979 and supplied finished in glorious Regency Red with a black leather interior and black carpets. Today, this sought after and increasingly collectable early V12 XJ-S remains in superb condition mainly due to a period of time ‘off the road’ throughout the ’80s and ’90s.Within the history file is a signed letter from a previous owner outlining the car's interesting history. A brief summary of the letter shows that this XJS was purchased by Charlie Ross of Ross Frozen Foods and during his ownership, it would only be used for special occasions and eventually dry stored in the family garage as his wife felt the car was too extravagant. The XJ was purchased from the Ross family in the late ’90s after a period ‘off the road’ and recommissioned.In addition to the correspondence, the history file contains registration papers showing Charlie Ross and other previous keepers, old tax discs from the ’80s & ’90s and some old MOTs.Rarely do original, unrestored examples as good and well preserved as this come to market especially with low use and in good colours, and we hope that the new owner of this example will continue to preserve this luxurious British sports car for future generations to appreciate.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XJ-S COUPÉYear: 1979Chassis Number: JNAEW3AC102530Registration Number: USW 33TTransmission: AutoEngine Number: -14727 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 9176 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

A much loved and well-travelled 4/4 Series 1, on the button and ready to go.In present ownership for 50 yearsRegularly used and maintained as requiredMany adventures throughout the UK and Europe including Le Mans on a regular basisFull restoration some years ago completed by Morgan specialist Martyn StendallSuperb throughout and rarely available on the open marketThe Morgan 4/4 (later known as the 4/4 Series 1) made its debut at the Motor Show in 1936 (until then Morgans had only ever appeared at the Motor Cycle Show) priced very competitively at 185 Guineas. The new car featured an open two-seater body with luggage space behind the seats and two spare wheels mounted at the rear. The four-cylinder Coventry Climax had a capacity of 1122cc with overhead pushrod-operated inlet valves and side exhaust valves and 34bhp was transmitted through a Borg and Beck clutch down a short shaft to a mid-mounted 4-speed gearbox and onwards down a Hardy Spicer prop shaft to a spiral-bevel back axle.Having been with its current custodian for approximately 50 years, BVH 766 has lived a life and then some. Fully restored some twenty five years ago by Martyn Stendall this is a superb Jaguar Brooklands British Racing Green with black interior 'Flat Rad' Series 1 that has been cared for throughout its life. Every component received attention, from engine to back axle with that final component being uprated by Brian Gateson at Techniques Morgan. Many journeys into Europe and all over the UK have given this Series 1 Morgan a gentle patina, not that of a Concours trophy contender, but one of a much loved, well travelled and cherished companion. On the button and ready to go wherever that next adventure may be, but would quite like to stay with its sibling, VV 7819, which is also on offer here today.SpecificationMake: MORGANModel: 4/4 SERIES 1 1122CC CLIMAXYear: 1939Chassis Number: 827Registration Number: BVH 766Transmission: ManualEngine Number: MA651Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black leatherClick here for more details and images

Delightful,1098-Climax-engined, pre-war, Flat Rad 4/4 restored to an exceptional standard.A fabulous, Series 1 'Flat Rad' from 25-years ownershipExemplary restoration by true Morgan fanatics and craftsmenChassis-up rebuild with outstanding attention to detailFitted with a 1098cc Climax from the Le Mans ReplicaFinished in Ford Deep Navy with black trimMinimal use since completion. Simply exquisiteThe Morgan 4/4 (later known as the 4/4 Series 1 ) made its debut at the Motor Show in 1936 (until then Morgans had only ever appeared at the Motor Cycle Show) priced very competitively at 185 Guineas. The new car featured an open two-seater body with luggage space behind the seats and two spare wheels mounted at the rear. The four-cylinder Coventry Climax had a capacity of 1122cc with overhead pushrod-operated inlet valves and side exhaust valves and 34bhp was transmitted through a Borg and Beck clutch down a short shaft to a mid-mounted 4-speed gearbox and onwards down a Hardy Spicer prop shaft to a spiral-bevel back axle.Having been with its current custodian for approximately 25 years, VV 7819 has to be one of the finest Series 1 Morgans available today. Our vendor and Morgan fanatic owned another Series 1, purchased in 1970, which was used extensively for touring and after 25 years of enjoyment the ravages of time called for a refurbishment, so with that in mind a donor car was sourced, that being the car on offer today. Upon further investigation, it was found that the two cars were just two chassis numbers apart – Chassis nos #825 and #827, so how could he break one of the two factory siblings, having just found each other after all these years?  With room in the stable for two, a decision was taken and a long term project commenced resulting in the first car, the green Series 1, being rebuilt followed by its stablemate, the stunning blue car that we have the pleasure to offer today. VV 7819 was rebuilt by Morgan fanatics and craftsmen to the very highest of standards with every component scrutinised from the bare chassis up. Every mechanical aspect of the car received attention including the Coventry Climax 1098 cc engine, the four-speed Moss gearbox  rebuilt by George Proudfoot, rear axle, suspension springs and steering. The interior was restored and retrimmed and a full tonneau cover fitted, a full hood and side screens being deemed unnecessary at this point. All the chromework was replaced or re-plated and the original Morgan panels were treated to several coats of gleaming Ford Deep Blue. Interestingly, the car is powered by a 1098cc Climax, an engine earmarked for the 4/4 'Le Mans Replica' announced in February 1939. Although 24cc less than the standard engine, the cylinder head, valves and other parts were all carefully polished and the crankshaft fully balanced, resulting in the smaller engine being the more powerful. With sales of the Le Mans being less than hoped for ( the Second World War started a few months after the first cars were available), perhaps the 1098cc engines were used in standard cars. Clearly this has been very much a labour of love, so much so, that we have the pleasure of offering both cars in the hope that they may continue to remain together. A rare opportunity unlikely to be repeated.SpecificationMake: MORGANModel: SERIES 1 4/4Year: 1939Chassis Number: 825Registration Number: VV 7819Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 623Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black leatherClick here for more details and images

A delightfully restored example of the rare 1500 MGTF, the final iteration of MG's long-lived T-Series Midgets. #HDE43/6505 was exported to the USA, as were the vast majority of TFsHaving spent the last 20 years stored in a barn in Nevada, it was shipped back to the UK by its present owner in January 2019He owns a body shop and has returned the little MG to top formCompletely mechanically and cosmetically refreshed with a bare-metal respray in MG GreenAccompanied by its original tools, side screens, tonneau cover and its V5cLots of classic MG touches, octagonal instruments, beige 'Bakelite' wheel, chrome luggage rack, fly-off handbrakeA lovely example of a very rare car ready for its next owner to cherish and enjoyIntroduced in September 1953, the MG TF was based on the same chassis and mechanical components as the TD Mark II. The centre section of the body shell remained virtually the same as that of the TD but the most significant change was to adopt a sloping radiator grille that, for the first time, concealed a separate radiator. The bonnet also had a marked forward slope achieved by lowering the radiator shell by three and a half inches in relation to the scuttle top. The front wings were restyled to accommodate faired in headlamps instead of the traditional bolt on fixings on the wing stays as on the TD and the wings, in turn, were faired into the bonnet sides which all in all helped to create a new streamlined image. The rear of the car received some general restyling with modifications to the fuel tank and spare wheel mounting to help tidy up the overall appearance. The end result was very pleasing to the eye but still a little dated compared to the offerings of other manufacturers of the era. Initially the car was launched with the faithful 1250 cc XPAG engine that made its debut in the TB Midget back in 1939, however, late in the summer of 1954, a new 1466 cc engine was introduced to the TF designated XPEG. It was in the main very similar to its predecessor the XPAG TF. 'Siamesing' of the cylinders allowed a larger bore in the same block and with larger pistons, stronger con-rods and an increase in the compression ratio to 8.3:1, the new engine produced a meaningful 63 bhp which equated to a 10.5% increase in power. Externally there were no visual clues other than engine numbers to distinguish the two power units and there was little on the car to give away its identity as a TF 1500, other than two discreet 'TF 1500' motifs on each of the bonnet side panels and the addition of two rear reflectors. The larger power unit did give the TF a boost in sales mainly in the United States and out of the 3,412 TF 1500s produced, only a handful were sold in the UK. It is well known that Abingdon would rather not have produced the TF had the MGA project been given earlier approval, nonetheless the TF, and particularly the 1500 version have become one of the most desirable classic MGs of all time. An early production car, the chassis number, # HDE43/6505, denotes that it was exported to the USA after it came off the production line as were the vast majority of TFs. Having spent the last 20 years stored in a barn in Nevada, it was shipped back to the UK by its present owner in January 2019.Since then, ‘756 XVG’ has undergone a complete overhaul. The vendor lists his extensive efforts here:The brakes have been fully stripped, brake cylinders and shoes have been replaced. All wheel bearings have been removed and re-greasedThe wheels have been refurbed and tyres and tubes have been replaced. The track-rod ends have been replaced and wheel alignment carried outSuspension bushes have been replaced where required. The radiator has been fully restored and re-coredThe water hoses have all been uprated and replaced. A new thermostat and housing have been fittedAll cork engine gaskets have been replaced and the carburettors have been fully stripped, balanced, and rebuilt. The fan belt and spark plugs have been replaced.The steering bushes and engine mounts have also been replacedThe car has a four-speed gearbox and all fluids have been changed and the linkages have been upgraded. A new stainless steel upgraded exhaust has been fitted.The bodywork has been fully stripped back to bare metal (the panels showed no signs of rust or corrosion when stripped), and then re-painted in MG Green to give the car a refresh and eliminate some previous poor paintwork. The bodywork was finished off with a protective ceramic coatingThe wheels were also repainted in their original Satin SilverThe cockpit area has been tidied up – a new (original copy) steering wheel was sourced, but the original was also retained to be kept with the car.The clocks and dials have been restored and are all in full working order. The dash has been finished in the original satin colour.The seats, hood and carpets are all in pristine condition and have been thoroughly cleanedAll of this work has been carried out to a professional standard with the aim of preserving as much originality as possible and where original parts could not be repaired or restored, period counterparts have been diligently sourced.Remaining in left-hand drive and looking the part in its gleaming coat of MG Green, this lovely TF is supplied with a complete toolkit of original tools, side screens, a tonneau cover and is now UK registered as ‘756 XVG’. The 1500cc TF is a rare car over here with the vast majority heading Stateside and this pretty example is ready for its next owner to cherish and enjoy.NB: We welcome and encourage interested parties to book an appointment to come and see the car either at our storage facility before the sale or during the Silverstone Classic weekend itself.   SpecificationMake: MGModel: TF 1500Year: 1954Chassis Number: TF6505Registration Number: 756 XVGTransmission: ManualEngine Number: XPEG - 2714Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 36 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

The most thoroughly restored and exactingly finished 2-door Range Rover, resplendent in Tuscan Blue.A superbly restored Range Rover, from the Land Rover engineering skills behind ‘LOF Clutches’Fully restored from the ground up, costing £40,000, with great attention to detail from a team that really know Land RoverWith a finish to rival any 're-engineered' exampleThe 'Suffix B' has the shortest production run of all Range Rovers2-door Classic Range Rovers are wholly endearing and always seem in fashion, blending in effortlessly whether at Goodwood or a local country showThere is a select group of British cars that are instantly recognisable for their silhouettes alone; the Morris Minor, the Mini, the Jaguar E-Type – and the Range Rover, all vehicles that merit that much-abused word ‘iconic’. Although Rover’s head of new vehicle projects, Spencer King, claimed that the design for a new 4x4 was merely a stopgap, the Louvre Museum in Paris described the result of his collaboration with the engineer Gordon Bashford as an 'outstanding piece of modern sculpture'.Sales commenced on June 17th, with prices from £1,998. ‘Autocar’ magazine raved: “What is so good about the Range Rover is the way it carries out its multiple functions, serving equally well as tug, load carrier, cross-country vehicle and, by no means least, as an ordinary car suitable even for commuting in heavy traffic.”Traffic policing further raised the profile of the Range Rover, and by 1971 it was employed by the forces of Cheshire, Kent, Staffordshire and Warwickshire. In 1976, ‘Car’ magazine had "not found a vehicle to challenge the Range Rover”  while observing the Land Cruiser from Japan was “a nasty piece of work”.February 1996 marked the demise of what had become known as the Range Rover ‘Classic’, following the launch of the second-generation Range Rover two years earlier, by which time some examples resembled a mobile gin-palace. In the words of that ‘Car’ article of 44 years ago: “It really is just as happy in the deep mire of a forest as in the King’s Road”  and to quote ‘Motor’ magazine of 1975: “It isn’t perfect, but there are so few cars which even begin to compete. We love it!”Even today, Range Rover illustrates this model in its advertisements to help promote its latest version of the brand. This tells you all you need to know about the original Range Rover: it is a design icon. Being of Land Rover ancestry, it goes without saying that it is immensely strong and yet with its air of quiet sophistication, it is also a simple vehicle by today’s standards, making it easy to maintain and run.This particular car is a 1972 ‘Suffix B’ version, the second iteration in the 25-year-long series of models. ‘Suffix B’ cars were produced between January and October 1973, making it the shortest production run of any Range Rover model. It featured many improvements over the more common ‘Suffix A’ such as rear window wash-wipe, better sound deadening, more instrumentation, a larger twin outlet water bottle and much else besides.This particular Suffix B was hand-picked by our vendor, a very well-respected Land Rover authority, for a full and comprehensive restoration, costing in the end, approximately £40,000. Like all Range Rovers from this era, wet weather and time take their toll, and this is where a 'proper' restoration differs from a mere restoration. Our vendor knows the difference, so this Range Rover's body was fully acid-dipped and neutralised, followed by extensive welding to the rear floor, rear arches, rear crossmember, front foot wells and front bulkhead; the front end was renewed with high-quality pattern parts. The body was then acid-dipped again, followed by being epoxy painted, seam-sealed and then repainted in Tuscan Blue, this alone costing £11,000.The Rover 3.5-litre V8 engine was fully rebuilt, re-bored, and refitted with a reground crank, new cam, pistons and ancillaries. The original 4-speed LT95 gearbox was also fully rebuild with a vacuum diff-lock. The axles too were fully restored and rebuilt, whilst the original chassis was inspected, cleaned and treated, but remarkably required no welding! The underbody was then paint protected and insulated using a body-coloured Schultz finish.The process continued with the fitting of a brand new full stainless steel exhaust system, a set of Blockley tyres (specially made to mimic the original style Michelin tyres, costing £900) and many hard-to-find parts sourced from contacts, including new light lenses, ignition barrel and clocks etc. Details like the use of a full original fasteners kit, with the correct period fasteners (costing over £1,000), have all been done correctly. New window seals all round, a new 'Famous Four' aluminium tailgate, genuine Land Rover front grille, and fuel tank. The upholstery was fully retrimmed by a highly skilled trimmer and reinstalled with the original 'Kit-Kat' beige seating. This finished Range Rover has been 'shaken down', set-up correctly and enjoyed for a few hundred miles since its restoration. The odometer was zeroed upon completion, given the extent of the work done, and is now ready to be enjoyed by an enthusiast who will have many years of pleasurable Classic Range Rover ownership head of them.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: RANGE ROVER 1ST GENYear: 1972Chassis Number: 35505627BRegistration Number: LFL 382LTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 20304411 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

UK-supplied and coming from 35-year ownership,10,000 miles since 1988 restoration by a Mercedes-Benz main dealer with private registration 560 DP included.UK-supplied with an automatic gearbox and registered on the 21/07/1969 to the first of four former keepers Bought by our vendor on 14/07/1986 at 14,600 miles for £6,700, according to the accompanying Bill of SaleThe car was sent to the then famed Dingles Mercedes-Benz classic car workshop in North Wales for a full restorationThe detailed history file notes extensive OEM receipts, labour and trimming costs for the white leather interior at over £20,000 at 1987 prices!An engine failure led to the dispatch by Mercedes-Benz Stuttgart of the believed last new and unused 2.8-litre engine in stockFinished in Signal Red with white leather interior, black canvas hood, red hardtop and period 1980s Alpine stereo With work commitments abroad, our vendor has used the car sparingly, covering some 10,000 miles since 1986Presented to auction with a detailed history file, including historical MOTs, the older restoration is in very fine order and the engine is barely run-in!The Mercedes-Benz 280SL 'Pagoda' was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production through until February 1971. The W113 was then replaced by its successor, the entirely new and substantially heavier R107 350SL. Over the years, the W113 quietly evolved from a nimble 'sports car' into a comfortable 'grand tourer' and was usually equipped with four-speed automatic transmission and air conditioning. The final evolution of the Pagoda was the 280SL, launched in November 1967 with a host of technical improvements, and is now seen as the most refined iteration of the W113 Series with the robust new seven-bearing, 2778cc, M130 engine developing 170bhp and perfectly suiting the automatic transmission.This smart example was UK-supplied with an automatic gearbox and registered on the 21st July 1969 to the first of four former keepers. It was purchased by our vendor, from the fourth owner on the 14th July 1986 for, the not inconsiderable, sum of £6,700. The accompanying MOT Certificate, dated the same day, shows the mileage at 14,573 miles. Online records lead us to believe that the car was registered as “560 DP” from new and our vendor has generously included the registration number in the sale, appreciating the historical connection with the car and regardless of the value of the number plate today. In 1986, and as a young man of just twenty-three years old, our vendor had repaired and sold a number of motorbikes and an MG to pay the £6,700 for the Pagoda and was starting on a career which took him overseas. During a visit home in the late Eighties, a con-rod threw itself through the side of the Pagoda’s engine. This devasting misadventure would’ve led many young men to get rid of the car, however, our vendor loved his 'Pagoda' so much that he decided to commission a programme of restoration works and sought from Mercedes-Benz a replacement engine, which he informs us was the last 2.8-litre "new and unused" engine from the Stuttgart factory. The car was sent to the, then famed, Dingles Mercedes-Benz classic car workshop in North Wales for a full restoration. The detailed history file notes extensive OEM receipts, labour and trimming costs for the white leather interior of over £20,000 at 1987 prices! The car remains today in very good order with some 10,000 miles covered since the restoration, and therefore one of the few Pagodas with an engine that has barely been run in. We note the fitment of a 1980s Alpine radio in the dashboard and perhaps we can allow this minor transgression to pass based on our vendor’s then age at the completion of the restoration thirty-five years ago. With a black soft-top in fine order and a matching hard top in the same condition as the car itself we must note that the Ivory leather interior has very little sign of wear and is trimmed in a high-quality hide that has aged naturally and sets the interior apart from the recently trimmed leather interiors of today. The odometer reading was some 27,783, at the time of cataloguing, and a total mileage that may not be warranted but is certainly believable and corresponds to the low mileage upon purchase and the sparing use over the past thirty-five years.Presented to auction with the aforementioned history file detailing the considerable sums expended during the late 1980s, a fresh MOT Certificate valid until 12th July 2022 and resplendent in Signal Red with Ivory leather, we welcome any inspection of this splendid little Pagoda.

Freshly serviced, this manual gearbox 550 is in simply fabulous condition.Supplied in right-hand drive to Hong Kong by Auto Italia HK Ltd.Imported into the UK in 2012. Bill of Lading in the fileThe 48-valve, 5.5-litre V12 develops 485bhp at 7,000rpmUnusual but very attractive combination of Rosso Corsa with Bordeaux leather Approximately 26,700 miles with a comprehensive service recordJust returned from a full service and MOT at Ferrari Birmingham which included belts and a new Alarm Immobilizer System (£2000)Cherished registration number, F12 SSO, will remain with the carA fabulous example worthy of any inspection Firmly placed in Ferrari's history as one of their finest modern-era big GTs, the 550 Maranello's combination of elegant lines and legendary front-mounted 12-cylinder engine, meant that these cars had the potential to become instant classics. Following in the footsteps and sharing the DNA of the 365 GTB/4 'Daytona', the 550 Maranello is inevitability compared to its forbear. Few front-engined Ferraris have quite justified that comparison quite like the 550 Maranello.Styled by Pininfarina, like its illustrious predecessor, the 550 Maranello was similarly proportioned, adopting the classical combination of long bonnet, a small cabin and a truncated tail. Classic Ferrari styling cues include a bonnet air scoop and hot air outlets behind the front wheel-arches recalling the great Competizione Ferraris of the past, whilst the rear incorporates Ferrari's characteristic twin circular lights.The heart of any Ferrari is its engine, and the 550 Maranello's 48-valve, 5.5-litre V12 develops 485bhp at 7,000rpm. The powertrain was housed in a tubular steel chassis, to which was attached aluminium coachwork, whilst the all-independent suspension incorporated dual-mode (normal/sports) damping, switch-selectable by the driver, which was complemented by speed-sensitive power-assisted steering.The six-speed manual gearbox complements a slightly more even torque curve ensuring that the power delivery was a little less frenetic, whilst excellent weight distribution and delightful road manners make the 550 Maranello a truly refined driving machine, whilst still capable of almost 200 mph. With styling that is ageing particularly well, a high-quality cabin, generous storage and an enormous 100-litre-plus fuel tank, the 550 Maranello really is the consummate 'European Grand Tourer' in the true Ferrari mould.This sparkling 550 was originally supplied in right-hand drive to Hong Kong by Auto Italia HK Ltd. and first registered there on 1/08/1997. Some years later, in 2012, it was imported into the UK and registered here on 12/11/12. All the relevant shipping and DVLA documents are in the car's history file together with details of its two UK owners, all the MOTs and a 550 Instruction Manual. It's finished in the traditional Rosso Corsa but, unusually, the interior is in Bordeaux Red leather, a combination that you might have thought would clash when looking at the colour swatches in a dealer's office but, in reality, works really well. The odometer reads 4,471 miles which is the distance covered since the car was in the UK but prior to the KPH/MPH speedo-head change (Graypaul) we understand that it had covered some 34,000km (21,250miles) in HK, meaning a total mileage of less than 26,000, all supported by a comprehensive service history.07/04/98 1,000km Auto Italia Ferrari dealer HK Service31/07/00 10,000km Auto Italia Ferrari dealer HK Cam belts07/02/02 11,424km Auto Italia Ferrari dealer HK Service19/03/02 11,654km Auto Italia Ferrari dealer HK Service03/11/03 21,083km Auto Italia Ferrari dealer HK Service and belts28/05/04 22,845km Auto Italia Ferrari dealer HK Service27/11/04 23,578km Auto Italia Ferrari dealer HK Service25/02/06 25,578 Italian Motors Ferrari dealer HK Service06/11/06 25,988km Italian Motors Ferrari dealer HK Service and belts06/03/07 26,511km Italian Motors Ferrari dealer HK Service12/06/07 27,072km Italian Motors Ferrari dealer HK Cam Belts06/03/08 28,265km Italian Motors Ferrari dealers HK Service19/02/09 28,896km Italian Motors Ferrari dealer HK Service22/10/09 29,263km Italian Motors Ferrari dealer HK Service16/03/11 32,676km Italian Motors Ferrari dealer HK Service and belts22/03/12 34,814km Italian Motors Ferrari dealer HK Service22/02/13 81miles Bob Houghton Service and belts28/03/14 2,357miles Bob Houghton Service13/08/15 4,360miles Graypaul Nottingham Service and belts18/08/16 4,365miles Ferrari Birmingham Service29/08/17 4,388miles Ferrari Birmingham Service31/08/18 4,411miles Ferrari Birmingham Service and belts29/08/19 4,434miles Ferrari Birmingham ServiceWe understand that it's booked in to Ferrari Birmingham for a service and belts and will confirm at the time of the auction that this has taken place.

A UK-supplied, manual gearbox, Gen l Turbo with the legendary Mezger 3.6-litre engine and just 22,000 miles with two owners.UK-supplied (C16) right-hand drive 911 (997.1) Turbo in Silver with Sport Chrono package6-speed manual gearbox, the most involving and driver-focused means of swapping cogsLegendary Mezger 3.6-litre engine; 480bhp, 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 193mphOur privateer vendor bought it from Porsche Silverstone Porsche when only five months oldJust 22,644 miles, FSH, been SORN’d and garaged for a few years, but will come with a full service for auctionGen l 3.6 engine so doesn’t suffer potential engine issues of Gen ll Turbo carsThe Porsche 911 needs little in the way of introduction and the signature model of the road car line-up has, since 1975, always been the Turbo. When it first appeared, the 911 Turbo was something to be feared. Drivers clung on to this fearsome thing, its 258bhp making it one of the quickest production cars on sale. Each successive generation saw the 911 Turbo become more powerful and better resolved. By the time the water-cooled '996' generation car appeared in 1999, the Turbo had become genuinely civilised; rocket-ship-fast but civilised, nonetheless.The '997' generation 911 was an evolution of the 996 with many changes designed to improve quality while retaining that car's winning blend of performance and usability. Although the 911 (997) Carrera models appeared in 2004, it wasn't until 2006 that the Turbo version was launched. First shown at that year's Geneva Show, it was initially offered as a coupe (and later as a cabriolet) with an impressive specification. The Mezger 3.6-litre engine was continued, now producing 480bhp 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 uses 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, right-hand drive, 2006 Porsche 911 (997) Turbo Generation I - which, importantly, means it utilises the well-proven and legendary 'Mezger' race-derived engine, which has a bulletproof reputation and doesn't suffer the same potential faults as the engine found in 997 Carreras or the later 997 Turbo Gen ll cars (launched in September 2009).It was purchased by our vendor from Porsche Centre Silverstone when it was just 5 months old. He has used it only sparingly and has ensured it has always been garaged and regularly serviced. As his business life was so busy, the car was carefully 'moth-balled', put on SORN and tucked away in his high-quality, dry and well insulated garage. It happily slumbered here for the last few years being protected from the British weather and salty roads, whilst, of course, not racking up any miles; this original, low owner car has now been treated to full service and is ready for a new owner to use to the full and enjoy.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 997 TURBOYear: 2006Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99Z7S780453Registration Number: RF06 DLVTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 62701202 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 22663 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Delightful, G50 gearbox-equipped, Carrera Cabriolet, recently fully refreshed.German delivered, left-hand drive example exported to Japan, where it remained in long term storage, arriving in the UK in 2016Post '87MY car that benefits from the more user-friendly G50 Getrag gearboxAttractively presented in Grand Prix White with 930 Turbo styling cuesExtensive program of refurbishment which included a respray in its original colours, full engine and transmission rebuild, new clutch and exhaust, brakes serviced with rebuilt callipers, discs and pads and the traditional Fuchs alloy wheels were refinished Reading just under 63,000km and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity and its original drivers manualThe 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963. These final cars (before being replaced by the more complicated 964) were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche's original design. Launched in 1984, and reviving the 'Carrera' name for the first time since 1977, these were the ultimate 1980s sports cars.The all-alloy flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, producing a torque-rich 231 bhp - enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupe to over 150 mph, with 0-60 mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. Cars built from September 1986 onwards were fitted with the more user-friendly G50 Getrag gearbox, but all 3.2 Carreras feature galvanized bodies, which together with Porsche's legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long-lasting.Offered here is a beautiful, German-supplied (C-00), left-hand drive, 911 3.2 Carrera Cabriolet first registered on 18th March 1988. We can imagine that the first owner would have been rather pleased with their specification choice when taking delivery of this 911 in the spring of '88 ready for summer. This specification included Grand Prix White with black hood, heated seats, sport seats with electric height adjustment, electric hood catch, alarm system, and the newly-introduced G50 5-speed manual gearbox.Today this stunning, well spec'd, 3.2 presents beautifully and was reading just under 63,000km at the time of cataloguing. We understand it had been in long-term storage before undergoing an extensive program of refurbishment which included a full engine and transmission rebuild. Whilst the engine was out the bodywork received attention prior to a full respray in its original Grand Prix White. At some point the car has been fitted with 'Turbo-look' front and rear wheel arches adding to the appeal of this classic Porsche. The engine was reinstalled with a new clutch and exhaust, the brakes serviced with rebuilt callipers, discs and pads and the traditional Fuchs alloy wheels were refinished.Accompanying the car is a small history file consisting of the original driver's manual, Certificate of Authenticity, spare keys, the most recent MOT(expired in January 2020) and the current V5 logbook which mentions just one former keeper.In summary, this is an opportunity to take ownership of an original G-Series, 3.2 Carrera Cabriolet with a distinctive Turbo-look, that's well presented and maintained and has benefitted from significant recent expenditure.  SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 3.2 CARRERAYear: 1988Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ91ZJS150646Registration Number: E132XUGTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 63J02201/M93020Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 62883 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

Supplying Porsche main dealer service history with just 27,310 miles covered by our 91 year old vendor from new.Supplied new to our vendor by Dick Lovett Porsche, Swindon on the 02/01/1990 Finished in Alpine White with a Blue Pinstripe interior and a five-speed manual gearbox Optioned with electric seats, central locking, fog lights, headlight levelling and washers Used sparingly. The current mileage is 27,310 (atoc). MOT until October 2021 The service book is stamped only by the supplying dealer, now known as Porsche Centre Bristol and it was last serviced some 600 miles ago The history file contains the Porsche book pack and service/maintenance invoices and every MOT Certificate, corroborating the indicated mileage Our ninety-one year old vendor’s sincere wish is for the next owner to cherish and enjoy this car as he hasFollowing the international success of their nimble 924, Porsche designed an all-alloy, 2.5-litre inline-four for their new 944 which they planned to introduce in 1982. Their talented engineers were able to produce a very smooth running four-cylinder engine by utilising two counter-rotating balance shafts running at twice engine speed. The result is a large four-cylinder engine that feels as turbine-smooth as a six.Cosmetically, the 944's bodywork was revised with wider wheel arches (similar to that of the 924 Carrera GT), a fresh interior and upgrades to the brakes and suspension. With greater visual presence and the performance to match, better handling, stopping power and more creature comforts, the 944 was a natural step forward.Reliable, hugely popular and eminently driveable most examples available today have very high mileages and a low mileage car from single ownership is incredibly rare. It is therefore an honour for Silverstone Auctions to offer this car to market on the behalf of our ninety-one year old vendor, Mr Mills. On the 2nd of January 1990, Mr Mills took delivery of this 2.7-litre, 944 in Alpine White with a 5-speed manual gearbox optioned with electric seats, central locking, front fog lights, headlight-levelling and washers. It also has “extended cloth” meaning that the attractive blue pinstripe cloth is extended to the centre panels, bolsters on the seats and half the door cards. We are told the split rear seats were a very rare option at the time and rarely fitted to the standard 2.7. Mr Mills returned to the supplying main dealer, Dick Lovett Porsche (now Porsche Centre Bristol) for every service, covering a few thousand miles a year during the 1990s and early 2000s. For the last decade, the car has been exercised regularly on short journeys, averaging 300 miles annually, and MOT'd every year with the current certificate valid until the 22nd October 2021. We recommend that the buyer should fit a full set of new tyres to the car, as per the advisory notice on the last MOT test. We also note a small tear to the centre console cubby box lid.The 944 Register Secretary of the Porsche Club GB, Mike Pollack, inspected the car in May of this year and we quote him here with his permission: “The overall condition of the car is extremely good, there is no sign of any rust in the common areas or anywhere else. There is evidence of regular servicing, clean oil and hydraulic fluids etc., the amount of still bright cadmium plate is fantastic and the interior is as beautiful as you would expect.” The Porsche is presented to auction with a detailed history file that includes, from what we can gather, every MOT from new, receipts, book pack and service book showing only main dealer stamps. This 944 has come from a loving home and our vendor sincerely wishes that the next custodian cherishes it has he has. We conclude that this car would make a perfect first “classic” Porsche or alternatively join a collection of important motor cars as one of the best examples of the model on the market.

Small size, big character; an exceptional example of the Austrian Automakers classic 500.Rarely seen in the UK, a delightful example with remarkably low indicated mileage, fresh from a beautiful restoration and full engine rebuildItalian-supplied in 1958, the car was found in Rome belonging to a local doctor, before being sourced by our vendor five years agoLovingly restored in Rome and Bologna by passionate Italian craftsmen, body finished in  Primrose with an Apple Green and Cream two-tone interiorAs part of its recent restoration in 2017, the car received a full engine rebuild, including new Weber carb and Bosch ignition, and our vendor says that it starts and runs flawlessly todayOnly 567km (352 miles) since the restorationImported to the UK in 2017 and first registered here on 01/01/2018Supplied with the factory build sheet, owner's handbook (in Italian), a letter of authentication from the Steyr-Puch Club of Austria signed and stamped by the Club President, restoration photographsVisually almost identical to the stalwart of Italian motoring that is the Fiat 500, the Steyr-Puch 500 was far more than an Austrian 500 built under license.Founded in 1934, Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG produced everything from military machinery and weapons to tractors, planes and cars, both during peacetime and in times of conflict. Following the second world war, the company was able to resume automobile production with thanks to help from Fiat, though long-gone were the heady days of producing four and six-cylinder engined cars, instead having to rely on small, economical cars, such as the 500 which was built under licence as part of their manufacturing partnership with Fiat. This partnership also included Steyr-Puch becoming the official importer of Fiat vehicles, along with modifying the cars for the domestic Austrian market’s requirements.For the S-P 500, Fiat supplied the chassis, front end and interior - all of which are identical to the Fiat-built car - but Steyr-Puch made a few mechanical changes, most notably the inclusion of a ZF gearbox, and replacing the usual Fiat 500 engine with a 493cc boxer-twin.Internally, these Austrian 500s received different upholstery and a speedometer that turns counter-clockwise, whilst on the outside larger air intakes allowed for more efficient engine cooling and underneath the Steyr-Puch 500 also sported enlarged drum brakes and improved shock absorbers for better ride quality.This particular 1958-registered example was built during the second year of Steyr-Puch 500 production, and was brought to the vendor’s attention by an agent in Germany, who was selling the car on behalf of the previous owner, who resided in Italy.The prior owner had this ‘500’ restored not once, but twice during his ownership, in both Rome and Bologna, leaving this S-P 500 in factory-fresh condition, and around 300 photographs of the restoration process are included with the vehicle, detailing the work that was carried out.Naturally, for a car of such quality, it starred in an Italian classic car magazine - a copy of which is included with the car - before being imported into the UK by its current owner in late 2017, and registered on its current plate on 01 January 2018.In total, around 567km (c.350 miles) have been recorded on the odometer since the restoration, meaning this is about as close to a box-fresh, Steyr-Puch 500 as you’ll likely ever find, and the condition of the vehicle certainly reflects its low mileage.Regarding the documentation, alongside the aforementioned photographs of the restoration process, the owner also has a selection of documentation and paperwork from the car’s time in Italy, the factory build-sheet, an owner’s handbook (in Italian) and a letter from the Steyr-Puch club of Austria confirming the authenticity of the car, which is also signed and stamped by the club’s President.Internally, externally and mechanically, this Graz-built 500 is in outstanding condition, with no signs of any wear, tear or patina that we can see. A true icon of the motoring world and with an unusual back-story that few other 500s can boast, this rare Steyr-Puch 500 is a wonderful collector's piece and ready to enjoy.SpecificationMake: STEYR-PUCHModel: 500Year: 1958Chassis Number: 5103665Registration Number: 731 UYYTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 5103700 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 567 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: Green Leather Click here for more details and images

A fully restored, HY pick-up, now UK-registered and ready to be enjoyed or promote that business.The versatile H-Type or HY van, in various configurations, was produced by the French automaker Citroën between 1947 and 1981Very evocative of the French 'joie de vivre' and ideal for food trucks, mobile bars, brand advertisingAn original configuration pick-up style HY vanDiscovered in a very original state in the South of France, bodywork was exceptional for its age and was still accompanied by its original tools and wheel-braceImported to the UK where it was fully restored by 'Autostore' of Cambridge, including a complete respray, a rebuilt engine (with new liners), and new brakes; passed its MOT just requiring new tyres, which it is now fitted withAll the hard work has been done, just needs a new owner to utilise its marketing potential The Citroën H Van is a light truck (or delivery van) produced between 1947 and 1981 and was developed as a simple front-wheel drive van after World War II. A total of 473,289 were produced in 34 years in factories in both France and Belgium but were not sold in the UK in right-hand drive.The engine, gearbox and many smaller parts are well known from other Citroën models; the headlights and speedometer were identical to the 2CV for many years. The distinctive corrugated body work was inspired by the German Junkers aircraft of the 1930s with the ribs providing strength without adding weight and requiring only simple, low-cost press tools. The flat body panels were braced on the inside by 'top hat' box sections at right angles to the ribs. Rear hinged 'suicide' cab doors were used until the end of production in 1981.The HY pickup-configuration van presented here is from 1970 and was discovered in an original state in the South of France; the bodywork was exceptional for its age and, remarkably, it was still accompanied by its original tools and wheel-brace. Imported by a friend of our vendor (our vendor subsequently fell for this characterful van and bought it) with the intention of using it for his building firm, adding a bit of PR as it was driven around London. After restoration, which included a full respray and engine rebuild, with respected engineers at 'Autostore' of Cambridge, it was deemed just too good for a builder’s run-around.It has been thoroughly enjoyed and attracted much attention wherever it goes, but our vendor is finding he has less time to use it. Professionally stored with Autostore since restoration, this is a fantastic classic vehicle, as iconic in its own way as the heralded Citroën DS, and will turn as many heads! Offered at ‘No Reserve’, this HY van would add brand awareness or presence to any business or make a great base for a French-themed carnival float! SpecificationMake: CITROËNModel: HY VANYear: 1970Chassis Number: 5228433Registration Number: LWT 346HEngine Number: 0420003168 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

There is little history with the car which was purchased from Kevin Odlum, and has been in storage since 2010. Its 4.2-litre straight-six is also reported to be running and driving, however the car will be sold with a recommendation for recommissioning prior to active use.Vendor Score Total: 78/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.
