1927 Bugatti Type 35B Grand Prix Two-SeaterRegistration no. CPW 940Chassis no. BC43Engine no. 137TTo view a video of this lot please click here*Originally assembled in the 1970s*Alan Wragg chassis frame*Crosthwaite & Gardiner 2.3-litre supercharged engine*Genuine Bugatti front/rear axles and gearbox*Well known competitor at Prescott and Shelsley Walsh*Present ownership since 1986*Maintained with no expense spared*Eligible for the Monaco Grand Prix HistoriqueFootnotes:'Among racing cars it is the 1924 Type 35 Bugatti which tops the list of beautiful cars of the (1920s) period. Some would say it's the most beautiful racing car of all time. Although it underwent detail changes through the years and the radiator was enlarged, its lines were virtually unchanged from its appearance in the Grand Prix of the Automobile Club of France in July 1924, through to its final, 51 version of 1931-32.' - Autocar. By the early 1930s Ettore Bugatti had established an unrivalled reputation for building cars with outstanding performance on road or track; the world's greatest racing drivers enjoying countless successes aboard the Molsheim factory's products and often choosing them for their everyday transport. The principal building block of this success was the legendary Type 35, arguably the quintessential Vintage-era sports car, which made its debut in August 1924 at the Grand Prix de l'ACF at Lyon-Givors. The Type 35's 1,991cc straight-eight engine was derived from that of the Type 30 but incorporated five roller/ball main bearings instead of three and an improved lubrication system. In line with Bugatti's established practice, each cylinder's three valves were actuated by a single overhead camshaft. This state-of-the-art engine went into a conventional chassis with leaf springs at the front and quarter elliptics at the rear, and which boasted a novel hollow front axle and alloy wheels. The Type 35's debut gave little indication of what was to come, as the factory team of five cars was plagued by tyre troubles and could achieve no better than 7th place at the finish. Despite this debacle the Type 35 in its various forms would go on to become arguably the most successful racing car of all time, commencing with winning the inaugural World Championship for Manufacturers in 1926 and securing countless victories for privateers. The most powerful member of the family, the Type 35B with 2.3-litre supercharged engine, first appeared in 1927 and represents the model's ultimate development. This Type 35B was assembled as a car in the 1970s by a UK collector using many correct components and a reproduction chassis frame from Alan Wragg. Subsequently the car was purchased by Martin Johnson of Cumbria, who sold it to the current owner in 1986 (receipt on file for £23,000). The owner then embarked on a complete restoration, which was entrusted to Robin Townsend of Stroud. Additional original components were fitted including an un-numbered GP front axle; an ex-Brescia gearbox number '1385', modified to GP form; and a rear axle number '129 12x50 H'. The eight-cylinder 2.3-litre engine is a Crosthwaite & Gardiner unit, which carries number '137T'; a supercharger is fitted, numbered '74'. The car was completed in 1991 and a photographic record of the restoration comes with it. Since 1991 the Bugatti has been used extensively by the enthusiast owner and is a very well known example. A highly successful car, it has won many trophies at Bugatti Owners Club hill climbs at Prescott, the best times achieved being 45.81 seconds on the traditional short course and 55.66 seconds on the long course. It has competed at Shelsley Walsh on many occasions too, and in 1999 was driven at the Worcestershire venue by the late Sir Stirling Moss, who commented on how excellent the car was to drive. The Bugatti also competed at the Monaco Grand Prix Historique.The Bugatti has always been maintained regardless of cost, the most recent expense being a replacement clutch in November 2020. The car is correctly registered with the DVLA and comes with a V5C document and MoT certificates for the period 1990-2011 (now exempt). Also on file is a letter dated 1992 from, David Sewell, then Registrar of the Bugatti Owners Club, confirming the authenticity of front and rear axles and the gearbox.A stunning car to use on the road, it is currently fitted with its Zenith (petrol) carburettor, while the methanol carburettor is included in the sale. The Scintilla magneto has recently been rebuilt and performs brilliantly. A rare opportunity to acquire a very well sorted and prepared Type 35B.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1967 Aston Martin DB6 Sports SaloonRegistration no. LTO 828E (see text)Chassis no. DB6/3093/R*Previously in the long-term ownership of an AMOC member*Extensively refurbished by Alan Smith Motors (2008-2009)*Fitted with a rebuilt ZF five-speed manual gearbox (originally automatic)*Harvey Bailey handling kitFootnotes:'Stage by stage, as the DB has become dominant in the Aston Martin strain, the successive cars have changed their image. Today the aim is to offer the maximum of luxury and refinement as well as the ultimate in road performance. The minor barbarities of so many great sports cars of the past are no longer acceptable – at least in the hand-built models now leaving Newport Pagnell. Obviously such a car as the DB6 is expensive and exclusive but the value matches the price.' – Autocar, 1966. The DB6 was introduced in 1965, replacing the DB5 and effectively brought an end to the lineage that could trace its heritage to the DB4. Increased rear-seat space was the prime DB6 objective so the wheelbase was now a little longer than, resulting in an extensive re-style with more-raked windscreen, raised roofline, and reshaped rear quarter windows. The major change was at the rear where a Kamm-style tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. These many dimensional changes were integrated most successfully, the DB6's overall length increasing by only 2'. Indeed, but for the distinctive Kamm tail one might easily mistake it for a DB5. The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5 and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp and Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox.The accompanying (copy) guarantee form shows that '3093/R' was delivered new to a Mr Kearsley of Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. The car left the Newport Pagnell factory equipped with Borg Warner automatic transmission; chrome road wheels; heated rear screen; three-ear hubcaps; safety belts; and a power operated aerial. Subsequently the DB6 was owned for many years by AMOC member John Fritchley of Nottinghamshire (erroneously recorded as first owner on the last UK V5C document, copy on file). Mr Fritchley sold the Aston in 2008 and subsequently acquired by Jonathan Nebbitt of London, who commissioned respected specialists Alan Smith Motors of New Romney to carry out a comprehensive refurbishment. Completed in 2009, the works included extensive body repairs; wax-injection of chassis/body cavities; rust-proofing and under-sealing the chassis; fitting a Harvey Bailey handling kit; and replacing the automatic transmission with a BPA-rebuilt ZF five-speed manual gearbox. A detailed description of the works is on file (as is the copy V5C) and it is understood that some £28,000 was spent on the restoration. In 2012 the DB6 was acquired by the owner, exported and laid up in secure storage. As a result, it may require some re-commissioning prior to being used on the road. If it is to remain in the UK it attracts the low import duty rate of 5% and will require re-registering.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (CARS) to undertake the NOVA on the Buyer's behalf.

1981 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Sports SaloonRegistration no. BAH 307X (see text)Chassis no. V8VOL12323*Original left-hand drive Vantage model*Built for the Saudi Arabian market*Present ownership since 2010Footnotes:'People who buy the Vantage will do so in the first place for its performance, and they will not be disappointed. The figures speak for themselves. But they should take extra heart because it is one of the easiest true high performance cars to drive well: and it has been given brakes to match. In comfort too, it has much to offer, and there is a great deal of what is best in the British tradition of designing and building sports cars in its making.' - Autocar. The performance figures Autocar referred to were a 0-60mph time of 5.4 seconds and an estimated top speed of 170mph, figures comparable with those achievable by a Ferrari Daytona or Lamborghini Miura. With the introduction of the Vantage in 1977, Aston Martin's V8 was thrust back into the supercar league. The name had previously been applied to high-power versions of the DB six-cylinder cars, and in the V8's case the Vantage tune delivered around 375bhp. Its superior performance aside, the Vantage was readily distinguishable from the standard product by virtue of its blocked-off bonnet scoop, blanked air intake, front chin spoiler and lip on the boot lid. ZF five-speed manual transmission was standard equipment, though a handful of Vantages were built with the Torqueflite automatic gearbox. With either transmission performance was shattering, the Vantage's 0-100mph time of 12.7 seconds making it the world's fastest accelerating production car at that time. Its copy Car Record Card reveals that left-hand drive chassis number '12323' was built as a Vantage model to Middle Eastern export specification for the Saudi Arabian market and originally finished in Burnham Green with green-piped fawn leather interior. The car was first registered in the UK in August 1998 and comes with a copy V5 document (although it will require re-registering). It was subsequently exported to the USA and the current owner purchased the Vantage from well-respected marque specialists Autosport Designs Inc of New York, in 2010 (copy bill of sale on file). Having been stored for the intervening period, the car may require some re-commissioning prior to road use. Coming to sale from overseas, the car will attract the low import duty rate of 5% should it remain in the UK.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (CARS) to undertake the NOVA on the Buyer's behalf.

The ex-Forrest Lycett, Don McKenzie, 'Jonty' Williamson1927 Bentley 3/4½-Litre Speed Model SportsCoachwork by CorsicaRegistration no. KOY 300Chassis no. HT1631*Corsica body fitted for Forrest Lycett in 1936*Extensively campaigned in BDC and VSCC events*Present ownership since 2006*Well maintained*Substantial history fileFootnotes: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 motor sport 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 via a four-speed gearbox with right-hand change. The pressed-steel chassis started off with a wheelbase of 9' 9½' 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.In only mildly developed form, this was the model that was to become a legend in motor racing history and which, with its leather-strapped bonnet, classical radiator design and British Racing Green livery, has become the archetypal Vintage sports car. Early success in the 1922 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, when Bentleys finished second, fourth, and fifth to take the Team Prize, led to the introduction of the TT Replica (later known as the Speed Model) on the existing 9' 9½' wheelbase, short standard chassis. Identified by the Red Label on its radiator, the Speed Model differed by having twin SU 'sloper' carburettors, a higher compression ratio, different camshaft and the close-ratio A-type gearbox, the latter being standard equipment prior to 1927 when the C-type 'box was adopted. These engine changes increased maximum power from the standard 70 to 80bhp and raised top speed to an impressive 90mph. Other enhancements included the larger (11-gallon) fuel tank and (usually) André Hartford shock absorbers. Bentley made approximately 1,600 3-Litre models (513 to Speed Model specification), the majority of which was bodied by Vanden Plas with either open tourer or saloon coachwork. Indeed, VdP was responsible for bodying Speed Model 'HT1631', which was completed with the North London coachbuilder's four-seat tourer coachwork in September 1927 and sold new to one K S Peacock. The car left the factory fitted with engine number 'HT1634' and was first registered as 'OX 1607'. Arguably this car's greatest claim to fame is the fact that it was once owned by Forrest Lycett, gentleman racing driver and renowned Bentley aficionado, who was also one of the founders of the Bentley Drivers' Club (BDC). Forrest Lycett owned a succession of standard and not-so-standard Bentleys (many of which still exist) including the legendary 8-Litre built for him by Lewis 'Mac' McKenzie. Clearly a man with an insatiable appetite for speed, Forrest Lycett first attained a genuine 100mph on the public highway while driving his Speed Six in Spain, and in 1951 was timed at 136mph on the Jabbeke autoroute in Belgium at the wheel of the 8-Litre. Prior to WW2 the latter had been one of the world's fastest road cars, setting the International Class B standing-start kilometre record at Brooklands in 1937 and the British standing-start mile record at the Surrey track in 1939. Taking a break from his job in the City of London, Forrest Lycett famously drove to Brooklands on the latter occasion, broke the record and was back at his desk soon afterwards. It was Lycett who in 1936 commissioned the two-seat Corsica body this car has today. Based in North London, Corsica was a relatively small firm that allowed clients considerable freedom in determining their cars' final appearance – surely the ultimate in 'bespoke' – an approach that endeared it to wealthy sporting motorists such as Lycett. In February 1950, Lycett gave the car to Mac McKenzie's son Don, probably in appreciation of the work Don had done for him. In a (copy) article on file, Don recalls that the Bentley had been 'well stored on blocks in a dry, warm lock-up' and that it required a full engine rebuild. Modifications carried out included fitting standard-bore Specialoid pistons; replacing the ML magnetos with Scintilla units; fitting a Borg & Beck clutch and lightened flywheel; and installing a coaxial starter. After the driving position had been adjusted (the body had been made to measure for Lycett), the car 'performed quite well at the BDC Silverstone meeting...' Further modifications were made over the winter months and Don went on to make several attempts at 100 miles in the hour, first at Monza and later at Montlhéry. By this time reregistered 'KOY 300', the car is pictured at Monza and Silverstone in Ray Roberts' Bentley Specials & Special Bentleys. Circa 1955 a triple-carburettor 4½-litre engine was fitted to the chassis, which by this time featured hydraulic brakes, 16' wheels, and a lowered radiator. From 1962 'KOY 300' was owned by well-known 'Vintage' racer 'Jonty' Williamson, who enjoyed considerable success, winning the BDC's Rolls-Royce Trophy on four occasions, as well as the VSCC's Pomeroy Trophy and Richard Seaman Memorial Trophy. The Brighton Speed Trials were attended regularly.The Bentley is known to have passed later on through the hands of dealer Bunty Scott-Moncrieff. A (copy) old-style logbook on file lists two subsequent owners: Lord Binning of Dunbar and from September 1977 Paul-Heinz Roehll (Röhll), a German citizen with a home in Staffordshire. The Bentley appears to have resided in Germany from 1977 to 2005, latterly in the ownership of Mr Jürgen Pyritz, who had the car maintained by recognised Vintage Bentley specialist, Neil Davies (NDR Ltd). It was Neil who replaced the engine for the previous German owner, installing a genuine 4½-litre unit rebuilt with a Phoenix crankshaft and con-rods.The current vendor acquired 'KOY 300' from NDR in 2006, and there are bills on file showing that during the next two years the car benefited from considerable work undertaken by Vintage and Historic restoration specialists D H Day of Swindon. Some £40,000-50,000 has been spent during the vendor's stewardship. Little changed in appearance since Forrest Lycett's day, 'KOY 300' is a highly developed competition 3-Litre with a sporting pedigree stretching back to the 1930s. It is capable of exceeding 100mph and Bonhams can vouch for the fact that it goes like the proverbial rocket! Recently serviced and offered with a substantial data file, this historic 3-Litre is a car for the active Bentley enthusiast.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1968 Aston Martin DB6 VolanteRegistration no. not registeredChassis no. DBVC/3675/RTo view a video of this lot please click here*One of 140 DB6 Mark I Volantes*Manual transmission*Desirable 'triple black' colour scheme*Supplied with Aston Martin Assured ProvenanceFootnotes:The culmination of Aston-Martin's long-running six-cylinder 'DB' line, the DB6 was launched at the Paris and London Motor Shows in 1965 and was recognisably related to the Touring-styled DB4 of 1958. The wheelbase was now 4' longer than before, resulting in an extensive re-style with more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Although apparently a bigger car than its predecessors, the weight of the new model was in fact only fractionally increased. Opening front quarter lights made a reappearance but the major change was at the rear where a Kamm-style tail with spoiler marginally reduced aerodynamic drag. The Tadek Marek-designed double-overhead-camshaft six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5 and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox, and for the first time power-assisted steering was available. After 37 Volante convertibles had been completed on the DB5 short-wheelbase chassis, the model adopted the longer DB6 chassis in October 1966. Distinguishable by its flared wheelarches and DBS wheels, the DB6 Mark 2 introduced in 1969 could be had with AE Brico electronic fuel injection. A total of 1,575 DB6 saloons was made between 1965 and 1970, plus 178 of the long-wheelbase Volante convertibles. One of 140 DB6 Volantes Mark 1s made, '3675/R' was sold new via H R Owen to Leslie Holt, Esq and registered as 'LES 1' on 4th March 1968. The accompanying copy order form reveals that the DB6 was delivered finished in black with matching trim. '3675/R' left the factory equipped with the ZF five-speed manual gearbox, chrome road wheels, 3-ear hubcaps, power operated aerial, front safety belts, and a limited-slip differential with 3.73:1 final drive ratio. The engine is currently on triple Weber carburettors, indicating that it has potentially been upgraded to Vantage specification, though it is not known when or by whom this was done. Records held by the AMOC show that the Volante was owned by one R W H Masters circa 1976, followed by Michael J Malone of Seattle, USA from 1987 to 1990, during whose ownership it was shown at the Pebble Beach concours (in 1989). Subsequent known owners include J Cornet, London (1993 – 1998); H Winstanley, Northants (1999 – 2000); and D M Campion (2000 onwards). The Volante is offered with the all-important Aston Martin Assured Provenance (issued January 2021). This certification states that the car has matching engine and gearbox numbers and is largely original (the audio system is an after-market fitting) and that no evidence was found of body repairs. The front brake callipers and master cylinder were fitted with new seals by Aston Martin Works in 2017, and the right front chassis leg repaired at the same time (heavy corrosion is noted on both rear outriggers). Having been stored for some time, this car may require recommissioning prior to road use. The very pinnacle of British open-top motoring in the 1960s, this DB6 Volante benefits from a desirable colour scheme, manual transmission and is worthy of the closest inspection.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1968 Aston Martin DBS Sports SaloonRegistration no. not UK registeredChassis no. DBS/5013/R*First registered in the UK*Restored by Chris Shenton Engineering in 1999*Present ownership since 2012Footnotes:Although always intended to house the new Tadek Marek-designed V8 engine, the Aston Martin DBS first appeared with the 4.0-litre 'six' of the concurrently produced DB6. Styled in-house by William Towns, the beautiful DBS caused quite a stir, Autocar magazine observing: 'Without the aid of an Italian stylist the Newport Pagnell team came up with something as modern, handsome and Italianate as anything from the Turin coachbuilders at that time.'Assessing the virtues of Aston's new flagship, Autocar judged it superior to the DB6 in many areas, the bigger DBS offering four full-sized seats in addition to transformed handling and roadholding courtesy of the new rear suspension and standardised power steering. This DBS was originally registered on 10th May 1968 in Cheshire with the registration 'CMB 180F'. Its copy guarantee form shows that the Aston was delivered via Wilmslow Garages and first owned by a Mr PWA Sutton of Sussex. The original colour scheme was Kingfisher Blue with dark blue interior trim, and the car left the factory equipped with power assisted steering; a Motorola radio; and front seat belts.In 1999 the DBS was extensively rebuilt by marque specialists Chris Shenton Engineering. The restoration included an engine rebuild (stripped to the bare block); inspection of the gearbox; chassis repaired wherever necessary and Waxoyled; brakes fully reconditioned; and the electrics overhauled. The preceding owner purchased the Aston in August 2002 from the proprietor of a Nissan main dealership in Dublin, ROI where it was registered 'ZV 6338'. The car was maintained regularly in Dublin, the most significant work done being cylinder head gasket replacement in October 2003 and conversion to unleaded compatibility by specialists South Cerney Engineering. The clutch was replaced in 2011. The current owner purchased the DBS at Bonhams' sale at the RAF Museum, Hendon in April 2012 (Lot 355) and subsequently exported the car. As such, it now attracts the low import duty rate of 5% if it is to remain in the UK. Having been stored for the intervening period, the car may require some re-commissioning prior to road use.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (CARS) to undertake the NOVA on the Buyer's behalf.

c.1971 Aston Martin DB6 Mark 2 Vantage Sports SaloonRegistration no. HDS 653H (see text)Chassis no. DB6 MK2/4184/RTo view a video of this lot please click here*One of 71 DB6 Mark 2 Vantages*To substantially original specification (see text)*Interior re-Connollised, carpets renewed*Supplied with Aston Martin Assured ProvenanceFootnotes:The culmination of Aston-Martin's long-running line of 'DB' six-cylinder sports saloons, the DB6 was introduced in 1965. Recognisably related to the Touring-styled DB4 of 1958, the DB6 abandoned the Superleggera body structure of its predecessors in favour of a conventional steel fabrication. The wheelbase was now 4' longer than before, resulting in an extensive re-style with more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Opening front quarter lights made a re-appearance, but the major change was at the rear where a Kamm-style tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5, and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox, and for the first time there was optional power-assisted steering. Introduced in July 1969, the DB6 Mark 2 incorporated many components shared with the new DBS, most obviously the latter's wider wheels, which necessitated flaring the front and rear wheelarches. All Mark 2 Vantages came with the highest (325bhp) 'C' state of tune, while all cars benefited from power-assisted steering as standard. Production lasted until November 1970, during which time only 240 DB6 Mark 2s were manufactured, 71 of which were to Vantage specification. Chassis number '4184/R' comes with the all-important Aston Martin Assured Provenance (issued January 2021), though assessment of the car's originality was hampered by the lack of any service history or a build sheet due to the destruction of the original factory records from this year of production. Nevertheless, the engine, gearbox, suspension and brakes were found to be to original specification, and no evidence was found of repairs to either the body or chassis. The interior upholstery has been re-Connollised and the carpets renewed, and the car has been fitted with an after-market 8-track radio/cassette and its associated speakers. Additional documentation consists of a NOVA confirmation dated August 2017; an AMW Internal Invoice for a fuel filter, spark plugs, and a new Bosch battery (2018); and an old-style V5C Registration Certificate (issued 2005) in the name of Donald Anderson of Glasgow (it should be noted that the car is not currently registered). The car is offered from long term storage and requires recommissioning.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

2000 BMW Z8 Roadster with HardtopRegistration no. X919 FAJChassis no. WBAEJ11010AF77766*Rare and exclusive limited edition model*Supplied new in the UK*circa 47,000 miles from new*Comprehensive service and MoT historyFootnotes:In recent times many motor manufacturers, particularly those with a significant sporting heritage, have felt the need to reference iconic models from the past when launching their latest. BMW has proved adept at exploiting this 'retro' trend, commencing in 1996 with the Z3 coupé and convertible, the styling of which brilliantly recalled its fabulous '328' sports car of pre-war days. Its next effort along similar lines - the 'Z07' concept car of 1997 - took its inspiration from the post-war Alfred Goetz-designed '507', a luxurious limited edition roadster.The sensation of the 1997 Tokyo Auto Show, the Z07 was received so enthusiastically that BMW took the decision to press ahead with a production version: the Z8. For the most part the Z8 remained remarkably faithful to the original concept, retaining the 507-like twin-nostril front grille and distinctive front-wing vents. A period-style interior had been one of the Z07's most remarked upon features, and that too made it into the Z8.The Z8's body panelling and spaceframe chassis were fabricated in lightweight and corrosion resistant aluminium, while the 32-valve 4,941cc V8 engine, shared with the M5 saloon, was built by BMW's Motorsport division. With 400bhp on tap, the Z8 raced to 100km/h (62mph) in 4.7 seconds and only the built-in rev limiter stopped it from exceeding 250km/h (155mph). Power reached the run-flat tyres via a Getrag six-speed manual gearbox. Needless to say, the Z8 also came with all the modern appurtenances one would expect of a flagship model: traction control, stability control, front and side air bags, GPS navigation, climate control and power operation of the seats, steering wheel and convertible hood all being included in the package. The fact that the Z8 was a low-volume model assembled, for the most part, by hand, enabled BMW to offer customers considerable freedom in personalising their cars. Further enhancing its appeal to collectors, the factory announced that a 50-year stockpile of Z8 parts would be maintained. Despite a (US) launch price of over $128,000, initial demand was so high that a bidding war broke out, with many Z8s selling for well in excess of that figure. By the time production ceased in 2003, 5,703 of these fabulous cars had been built. Supplied new in the UK by Preston Hall BMW, this stunning Z8 Roadster has covered only 47,330 miles from new and comes with comprehensive service history and MoT certificates verifying the mileage. The most recent service was carried out by Sytner, Chigwell in November 2019, since when the car has covered fewer than 100 miles. Finished in silver metallic with red/black leather interior, this superb Z8 comes complete with book pack, leather wallet, two keys, V5C document and MoT to January 2022. A true collectors' BMW.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1924 Bentley 3-Litre Speed Model TourerCoachwork by Chalmer & Hoyer (see text)Registration no. EL 8828Chassis no. 425*One of 513 Speed Models made*Known ownership history*Present ownership since 2003Footnotes: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. Walter Owen Bentley was already well known for his pre-WWI exploits with DFP cars and the pioneering use of aluminium pistons in their engines; and as an engine designer he was no novice, having been responsible for some of the Allies' most successful aero engines during the Great War. The Bentley 3-Litre'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 via a four-speed gearbox with right-hand change. The pressed-steel chassis started off with a wheelbase of 9' 9½' 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.In only mildly developed form, this was the model that was to become a legend in motor racing history, winning the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930, and which, with its leather-strapped bonnet, classical radiator design and British Racing Green livery, has become the archetypal Vintage sports car. Early success in the 1922 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, when Bentleys finished 2nd, 4th, and 5th to take the Team Prize, led to the introduction of the TT Replica (later known as the Speed Model) on the existing 9' 9½' wheelbase, short standard chassis. Identified by the Red Label on its radiator, the Speed Model differed by having twin SU 'sloper' carburettors, a higher compression ratio, different camshaft, and the close-ratio A-type gearbox, the latter being standard equipment prior to 1927 when the C-type 'box was adopted. These engine changes increased maximum power from the standard 70 to 80bhp and raised top speed to an impressive 90mph. Other enhancements included the larger (11-gallon) fuel tank and (usually) André Hartford shock absorbers. Bentley made approximately 1,600 3-Litre models (513 to Speed Model specification), the majority of which was bodied by Vanden Plas with either open tourer or saloon coachwork.Speed Model chassis number '425', with engine number '424', was completed in December 1923 and first owned by one F E B Elton. According to the renowned marque specialist, Dr Clare Hay, the four-seater tourer coachwork has been credited to Vanden Plas but is more likely to be the work of Chalmer & Hoyer (later Hoyal) although not definitely established (see photocopy on file taken from Bentley – The Vintage Years). It has also been suggested that the body is by Park Ward. Copies of the car's original factory records (up to 1937) and a list of subsequent owners are on file also together with numerous invoices dating back to the 1990s when the Bentley was owned by a Mr R Lippiatt of Hampshire. '425' had been in the USA and then Canada from approximately 1968 to 1986, and when brought back to the UK had been issued with the age-related registration 'DS 7420'. The original registration, 'EL 8828', has since been retrieved. The current owner acquired the Bentley in 2003, since when it has been maintained by West Hoathly Garage and more recently by Henal Engineering of Hailsham, East Sussex (see bills on file). The most recent bill (for attending to a water leak) is dated September 2018. More recently the Bentley has been maintained and exercised regularly by a local motor engineer. Driven recently by a Bonhams specialist, the car seemed to be in good running order. A wonderful opportunity to acquire a rare and beautiful 'W O' Bentley with known ownership history.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1994 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Transmission: manual Mileage: 95515The Chevrolet Camaro was classified as a pony car and as a muscle car with some versions. The fourth-generation Camaro debuted in 1993. It retained the same characteristics since its introduction in 1967 a coupé body style with 2+2 seating (with an optional T-top roof) or convertible reintroduced in 1994, rear-wheel drive, pushrod 6-cylinder and V8 engines. The standard powerplant from 1993 to 1995 was a 3.4 L V6, then a 3.8 L V6 was introduced in 1995. A 350 MPFI (LT1) Small Block V-8 engine, which was introduced in the Corvette in 1992, was standard in the Z28 the 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission was also standard on the Z28, yet optional on the V6 models which came with a 5-speed manual as standard.This desirable manual gearbox Z28 with the full fat 5.7 litre V8 is presented in Blue with Grey trim but wrapped in an individual camouflage finish which certainly stands our… or should we say blends in. This example was first registered in the UK in 1997 but noted as a 1994 production date. Offered with a UK registration certificate and MoT test certificate until February 2022 this six speed manual also benefits from the T top roof perfect to heat that V8 on summer drives.Guide Price £4,000 - £6,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1991 Nissan Figaro Transmission: automatic Mileage: 138481The Nissan Figaro is a front engine, front wheel drive, two door, 2+2 convertible manufactured for model year 1991, and marketed in Japan at Nissan Cherry Stores. Initially a production run of only 8,000 units was planned, however demand was exceedingly high and after two increases in production schedules a total of 20,073 Figaros were manufactured, all in right hand drive format as they were intended solely for the Japanese market. Even with the greatly increased production numbers, demand was so high that potential purchasers had to enter a lottery to win the chance to buy one. Based on the Nissan Micra K10 platform, the Figaro features a turbocharged 980cc engine, mated to a three-speed automatic gearbox. As a fixed profile convertible, the upper side elements of the Figaro's bodywork remain fixed, while its fabric soft top retracts in conjunction with a solid panel with a glass heated rear window.This retro classic is presented in Emerald Green, being one of only four colours in which they were produced; Topaz Mist (autumn), Emerald Green (spring), Pale Aqua (summer) and Lapis Grey (winter). It has ivory leather seats with contrasting piping, air conditioning, CD player, chrome and Bakelite-style knobs, soft-feel paint on the dashboard top, chrome-trimmed speedometer with smaller inset gauges for fuel and engine temperature; and chrome-trimmed tachometer with inset clock. A super little car from the Japanese manufacturer, offering open top motoring at a fraction of the price of its rivals.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1962 Daimler DQ450 Majestic Major Transmission: automatic Mileage: 97298Motor Sport magazine described the Daimler Majestic Major as having sportscar performance and indeed it did, remaining stable at over a reported 120mph. The coachwork was built by a subsidiary company, however, called Carbodies at a different pace than other cars at Browns Lane on another production line that was ‘hand-moved’ in order to maintain quality.This was the final flowering of a tradition that reaches back to the very dawn of motoring, of building superbly engineered cars of understated luxury and quality. The Majestic had been originally powered by a rather sedate 3.8 litre, six-cylinder unit, but the Major was the first and only application for an ambitious and potent 4.5 litre, V8. Output was over 220bhp, which gave this very substantial luxury saloon a startling 0-60mph time of 9.7 seconds, very considerably faster than its two-seater contemporary, the MGA. Power was delivered through a three-speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox, and the designers also wisely incorporated disc brakes. 2600FN is a very impressive example of what is now a rare car. It returned to the UK in 2019 after spending some years in a substantial collection in central Italy. Since then, it has undergone an engine rebuild at a cost of some £7,000 and now demonstrates the driving qualities which hugely impressed the Motor Sport magazine road tester, (rather to his surprise, it must be said), in 1961. Coachwork is well finished in a dark claret colour which complements well the lavish chrome bright work, while the interior retains the original and very high-quality leather trim and carpeting although the typically handsome walnut wood capping should benefit from repolishing after some six decades. A rare, rewarding and pleasing example of an uncommon and underestimated model.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

The engine and gearbox have also been removed and stripped down, crank shaft polished, block honed and new big-end and main bearings, rings and seals fitted with valves ground. The gearbox has been stripped with the supply and fit of clutches and seals. Additionally, clean rocker shafts, adjusted tappets, and new carburettor diaphragms have been fitted as well as new brake pipes, calipers, pads and ancillaries all totalling £9,586.

1970 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce Transmission: manual Mileage: 30601The first of Alfa Romeo’s Bertone styled coupés, the 1.6 litre Giulia Sprint GT, was launched in 1963. Mechanically the stylish new 2+2 was much the same as the Giulia TI sports saloon, featuring a five-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension, coil-spring live rear axle and disc brakes all round. A 1300 model, the GT Junior, arrived in 1966 and the range was further extended the following year by the launch of the 1750 GTV, the latter powered by a 1,799cc, 118bhp version of Alfa’s classic twin-cam, four-cylinder engine, in a four-headlight version of the existing bodyshell running on 14-inch wheels. A short lived but nevertheless popular model, the 1750 GTV underwent a minor mechanical and styling revision part way through production before being replaced by the 2000 version in 1972. More powerful than the 1600 but sweeter running than the 2000, the 1750 is the choice of the Alfa Romeo enthusiast who knows their GTVs. Driver’s cars par excellence in the Alfa tradition, Bertone’s timelessly elegant Giulia coupés are among the most exciting sports saloons of the 1960s and today all versions are highly sought after.This lovely, rare, right hand drive Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce is in very good condition throughout. A condition report written for a previous owner in 1998 tells of the body being restored and new wings fitted. Supplied new with Webasto sunroof with a very rare deflector, a clock and outside temperature gauge. This 1750 GTV has been very well maintained, and no expense spared by the two previous owners over the last 24 years. The car is finished in Biancospino with black interior and comes supplied with a UK V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in December 2021, a large history file containing invoices from Alfa specialist Gran Turismo, Andrew Thorogood and Titus Rowlandson of Victory Garage showing all the work carried out since 1998, old MoT’s dating back to 1996, the early condition report and an article relating to the Alfa GTV. The current owner has just had the Alfa Romeo GT Junior rubber over rugs fitted to protect the carpets, he also reports that everything works on the car. This represents a rare opportunity for an Alfa Romeo enthusiast to own one of these eminently collectible models.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1968 Sunbeam Alpine Series V Transmission: manual Mileage: 129519The Sunbeam Alpine was launched in 1953 as the first vehicle from Sunbeam-Talbot to bear the Sunbeam name alone, since the 1935 takeover of Sunbeam and Talbot by the Rootes Group. Ken Howes and Jeff Crompton were tasked with doing a complete redesign of the Alpine in 1956 with the goal of producing a dedicated sports car aimed principally at the US market. The Series V Alpine was produced from 1965 through to 1968, the final version having a new five-bearing, 1725cc engine with twin Zenith-Stromberg semi-downdraught carburettors producing 93bhp.This particular example is presented in traditional Old English White with a black interior and a black manual folding hood. The car sits on a set of Minilite wheels and the interior enjoys a walnut dashboard, wood steering wheel and its lively 1725cc engine is mated to a four-speed gearbox. This is the last in the series of these highly popular and pretty little British sports cars and are a delight to drive. This example is offered at no reserve and we are sure will be huge amounts of fun for the new owner.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1961 Jaguar Mk. II (2.4 Litre) Transmission: manual Mileage: 63000Synonymous with the swinging ‘60’s and the hit TV series, Inspector Morse, the Jaguar Mk. II saloon has been used as a vehicle to transport everyone from dignitaries and politicians to bank robbers and the criminal select. Desirable due to being a well-balanced saloon car with space for four adults and a good size boot, it also boasted engine options including the mighty Jaguar 3.8 litre power unit; small wonder it became popular as a getaway vehicle. When released, traditional Jaguar buyers had no need to feel alienated by the new offering from Coventry as the interior was up to their usual standards with leather and walnut being the order of the day. With 112bhp available, the 2.4 was not overly burdened with pace so, importantly, coupled to a manual gearbox with overdrive it would be the more frugal of the range but give the driver the ability to utilise the full range of the 2.4 engine.Presented in the splendid colour combination of British Racing Green over a green leather interior, this lovely Mk. II has been part of a private collection for some years. Offered in generally very good order throughout, the paintwork is bright and shows very few blemishes as does the interior, the seats show a light patina and the wood dashboard is well. The history file that accompanies the car includes numerous receipts and MoT test certificates as well as the current V5 registration document and an old style buff logbook. The vendor reports that this smartly presented example runs and drives well and we believe it is offered at a very attractive estimate indeed. Interested parties should note this vehicle is listed on HPI as a category D Insurance loss dated 29th April 2001.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1968 Daimler 250 V8 Saloon Transmission: automatic Mileage: 70358This example of Daimler’s 1960’s line-up utilised the powerful 2.5 litre, V8 engine made famous in the 250SP. This model range, launched in 1962, was effectively a rebadged Mk. II but the engine was a silky-smooth power plant mated to a standard automatic gearbox. It was tested by Britain's Autocar magazine in 1966 having a top speed of 112mph. Other differences include a Daimler fluted grille, rear number plate surround, wheel trims, badges and interior details. In 1967, it was renamed the V8-250 and differed in relatively small details such as sleek, slimline bumpers and overriders, an alternator instead of a dynamo and twin air cleaners; one for each carburettor. Other new features included padding over the instrument panel and reclining split-bench front seats.Originally leaving the Brown’s Lane factory in November 1968 painted in classic Jaguar red, this Daimler was then repainted in 1998 in the current and striking maroon colour you see today. Sitting on original steel wheels, this late model example complete with spats and slim-line chrome bumpers, presents with complementary tan leather interior, and walnut door cappings and dashboard. The chromework requires some attention and viewing is recommended prior to bidding.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1983 Porsche 928 S Transmission: automatic Mileage: 71047These fabulous sports cars were unveiled at the Geneva Salon in 1977 and voted Car of the Year for 1978. It was intended as an upmarket replacement for the long-running 911 but in the event Porsche's rear-engined classic would outlive its younger sibling. The front-engined 928's stylish hatchback body featured aluminium doors, bonnet and front wings in the interests of weight saving, while ingenious impact resistant 'bumpers' made of colour matched plastic were incorporated into the nose and tail. A five speed transaxle gearbox or three speed automatic were the transmission options, in 1980 the 928S with its 4.7 litre engine arrived and then in 1986 the model was further revised and restyled, becoming the 928 S4. Its engine producing 320bhp courtesy of twin-cam, 16 valve cylinder heads and enlargement to 4,957cc, the S4 enjoyed a welcome top speed boost to 160mph.The car was originally supplied by Charles Follet Ltd of 18 Berkeley Street, London W1 and registered on 3rd March 1983 to Mr. Peter Bowles of Castlenau, London. This very low mileage automatic transmission example presents well in silver with contrasting blue leather upholstery. The car comes with its original Porsche wallet containing the drivers manual, service guide and the all important maintenance record, which is well stamped with a combination of main agent and specialist services. Offered to auction with a V5c registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until March 2022 viewing of this handsome example is encouraged.The popularity of these Porsches has increased over recent years and rightly so. This powerful, sleek and user friendly model is surely one to watch for investment potential.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Transmission: automatic Mileage: 83000The fifth generation SL was in production between 2002 and 2008 and featured the all-new retractable hardtop, an important feature for those British showers! Mercedes-Benz followers were impressed with the stability of the car with the hardtop in place and the ease at which they could remove it. Such was its success, the SL is still one of the leading cars in the Mercedes-Benz range. This car features the very capable 5.0 litre 302bhp V8 powerplant mated to a standard automatic gearbox. The R230 also features the ABC (active body control) which offers the balance of comfort and handling. The complex system uses accumulators and hydraulic fluids to regulate the firmness and heights of the suspension.This example showing 83,000 miles on the odometer is offered in metallic green over a contrasting mushroom interior and presents in generally very good order. The paintwork retains a deep shine and the interior is well. Reported to run and drive as it should, this SL500 has recently been treated to a set of four new tyres, an upgraded front and rear bodykit and a keyless start system. Also fitted is a Sat Nav, CD boot changer, Bluetooth, heated front seats, active body control and a Bose sound system. Offered with sundry invoices, previous MoT records, the UK registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until April 2022. The SL500 model is becoming increasingly sought after and this example is not to be overlooked. We are sure this well-presented Mercedes will be huge amounts of fun for the new owner in the coming summer months!Interested parties should note that the convertible roof is currently not working, however the vendor will endeavour to rectify this in time for the auction.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1930 Alvis Silver Eagle Transmission: manual Mileage: Historically, one of Coventry’s finest motor manufacturers, the Alvis Car Company had raced sporadically; first extraordinarily fast side-valve cars at Brooklands then the legendary 12/50 in 1928, the most ambitious eight-cylinder Grand Prix car. But due to ever changing times and circumstances that usually prevail throughout history, no great successes were forthcoming. It’s ironic that in 1927, the six-cylinder Silver Eagle engine had arrived in 1800cc format, an advanced and well-designed unit possessing considerable potential and with the sound principles and approach, the company had always displayed. It is a tragedy that the company weren’t able to grasp and capitalise, on a competition basis, using this most exciting format because the unit was simply fitted into the very lightweight 12/50 platform chassis. With the removable front cross member utilising a fine gearbox and sitting amidships providing favourable weight distribution, like all Alvis’s, the components were beautifully engineered.This delightful example was rescued circa 2005 having been stood since 1967 and, as to be expected, the car was in a pretty poor state. The owner at the time wanted to build a VSCC competition car and chassis number 12898 seemed the ideal project. It took four years to build into the car it is today. When it came to the engine, he enlisted the help of Peter Lings, a well-respected engineer. The original castings and crankshaft were utilised. Internally she was completely rebuilt and a dry oil sump system fitted, the engine has been dyno tested at an impressive 144bhp. Fuel is supplied via three H4 SU carburettors and a four-branch exhaust system was also fitted. The flywheel has been lightened and close ratio gears ensure quicker gear changes. The chassis has been shortened to nine feet, the front axle has been lightened and new king pins were fitted. Clearly this is a very well built example and is competitive within its class. The current vendor has enjoyed many a weekend on the track in this Silver Eagle. Supplied with a V5C registration document this Alvis is road legal and draws admirers wherever she appears.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1988 Lotus Esprit S3 Transmission: manual Mileage: 39414The 1987 Lotus Esprit benefitted from a far reaching restyle by Peter Stevens. Out went many of the sharp lines, to be replaced by a more organic aero look. It worked, too - the Esprit certainly looked like a contemporary product when launched, and still looks timeless today. Originally, the name Kiwi was proposed for the Esprit but, in keeping with the Lotus tradition of having all car model names start with the letter 'E', the name became Esprit. There was a little more power and a little more weight, but overall the Esprit experience was uncorrupted by the update. The Citroën SM gearbox was replaced by a Renault GTA unit, along with outboard rear brakes. The interior for both cars was revised and featured new trim; combined with changes to the body moulds this resulted in more headroom and an enlarged footwell.Originally registered on 31st October 1988 as a Mann Egerton dealership demonstrator, this Lotus was sold to its second owner after a few months. The current vendor then purchased the car in 1992 and has enjoyed owning this Esprit immensely. Throughout his 29 years of ownership, he has covered just 17,000 miles and has always stored the car in the correct manner when not in use. Understanding the importance of regular maintenance, he has always had the car well serviced, the majority of the service work being carried out by SEB Auto Service and latterly by marque specialists. Not that this cossetted Lotus has required anything other than routine regular servicing. The warranted mileage of 39,414 miles is confirmed by a collection of invoices and MoT’s and it is supplied with a V5C registration document, a current MoT test certificate with no advisories valid until 29th November 2021, the original service books, jack, toolkit, roof panel deflector and roof panel storage bag. Even the original Blaupunkt stereo system is present. Finished in black with magnolia leather trim, this very desirable Lotus Esprit is offered for sale for the first time in nearly 30 years.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2004 BMW M3 Convertible Transmission: manual Mileage: 99807The E46 BMW M3 was previewed at the German Motor Show in 1999 as a concept, although the actual car when manufactured bore a very close resemblance when it was introduced in October 2000. Only available as coupé or convertible the M3 was offered with a five-speed Getrag gearbox or a SMG drive logic transmission. The E46 M3 was full of electronic gadgetry, which included driver aids such as dynamic stability control, cornering brake control and a limited slip differential. With a reported top speed of 155mph and 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds, the M3 certainly lived up to its name and did not disappoint!Originally registered on 25th June 2004 this BMW presents in good order throughout. The silver paintwork is virtually unmarked and the grey leather interior is also in good order. The black hood is new and has hardly been used. The engine started immediately when requested and sounded very much ‘on-song’, clearly this E46 has been very well cared for. Fitted with the desirable manual gearbox, this M3 convertible is a great car to drive. Supplied with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 23rd March 2022 and offered without reserve, this high specification BMW could well be one for the future. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1934 Rolls-Royce 20/25 by Atcherley Transmission: manual Mileage: 26176By the late 1920s the trend for ever-heavier coachwork on the Rolls-Royce 20hp had inevitably had a detrimental effect on performance. Rolls-Royce’s solution was to increase the comparatively small six-cylinder engine’s capacity from just over three litres to 3699cc which, together with a stronger crankshaft allowing increased rpm, raised its output to 25hp. Over the past eight decades the 20/25hp Rolls-Royce has earned an enviable reputation of being among the most dependable, satisfying and highest quality pre-war models of all. Produced from 1929 to 1935, it represented the marque’s determined effort to move away from massive formal cars, routinely chauffeur-driven, to the newly fashionable owner-driver market for the wealthy private owner-driver. Various detail improvements were made to the 20/25 during its seven year production life including rises in compression ratio in 1930 and 1932; the latter year also saw the introduction of synchromesh for the third and fourth gear ratios, thermostatically controlled radiator grille shutters, a one-shot centralised lubrication system and an electric fuel gauge.W.C. Atcherley were a little known, Birmingham based coachbuilders whose speciality was exceptional quality and innovation. They were very selective in the cars they worked on and provided bodies for only 10 Rolls-Royces with only one of these being a 20/25; this very car. The car was ordered by Ada Scribbans who specified this very pleasing and unusual two door design. Ada was the wife of Harry, the owner of the largest bakery in the Midlands, who made his fortune during the First World War supplying the armed forces with their daily biscuit ration. The family were great friends of Brough, of Brough Superior fame, who in turn was a friend of William Clive Atcherley; hence her choice of coachbuilder.‘Ada’, as this example is affectionately known, has been used extensively, competing in numerous club tours and rallies including, as the photographs in the file show, a 4,000 mile jaunt in New Zealand. This was made possible by correct and regular maintenance and service work with no expense spared. She benefits from overdrive, an oil filter system, a radiator recore, a stainless steel exhaust, a DWS jacking system, all undertrays and has been correctly rewired. The car also benefits from a large metal sunroof and the ultimate luxury in 1934 …. a heater!This stunning looking Rolls-Royce presents well in green, trimmed in magnolia. The superb interior boasts art deco features, beautiful woodwork, pull out picnic tables, pull out storage spaces and even pull out drinks holders on the dashboard. The rear opening windows have blinds and the car feels spacious. The comfortable driving position is made possible by the rare addition of lateral adjustment to the seats. There is a large boot which houses all the original tools. The car was taken for a test drive and is possibly the best driving example of a 20/25 that we have seen, pulling strongly with a smooth gearbox. Offered to auction with a UK V5C registration document, build sheets, various items of paperwork and photographs, notebooks and the owner’s handbook. The registration plate, integral to the story of this tremendous car, is included in this not to be missed opportunity.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1958 Jaguar XK150 SE Roadster Transmission: manual Mileage: Although having a family resemblance to the XK120 and XK140, the XK150 was radically modernised. A one-piece windscreen replaced the split screen and the wing line no longer dropped as much over the doors. The bonnet was widened, opened down to the wings and on the roadster the bulkhead was moved back four inches to make the bonnet longer. In the interior, the XK140's walnut dashboard was replaced by one trimmed in leather. On the early drophead coupés, an aluminium centre dash panel with an X pattern engraving was fitted which looked similar to the early 3.8 E-Type. It was discontinued after June 1958. Thinner doors gave more interior space. The standard engine, the same as fitted to the XK140, was the 3.4 litre DOHC Jaguar straight-six rated at 180bhp at 5750rpm but most cars were fitted with the SE engine that had a modified cylinder head with larger exhaust valves rated at 210bhp at 5500rpm. Twin 1 ¾ inch SU HD6 carburettors were fitted. Four-wheel Dunlop 12” disc brakes appeared for the first time although it was theoretically possible to order a car with drums. Either wire wheels or disc wheels could be specified. Suspension and chassis were very similar to that on the XK140. These were high performance, well-appointed sports touring cars and could cope with long distances with alacrity.This superb example of the highly desirable SE derivative of this British classic is finished in iconic British Racing Green with green leather interior. The present owner has recently spent between £50,000 and £70,000 on its restoration which includes new leather interior, new hood and carpets to name a few of the extensive list of items which have been restored on this fabulous sports car. Its refreshed 3.4 litre engine is mated to a five-speed Getrag gearbox and performs strongly as expected and indeed as it should.

1988 Jaguar XJS Convertible Transmission: automatic Mileage: 16404In 1975, the Jaguar E-Type finally gave way to an all new and more efficient Jaguar, the Jaguar XJS. This new luxury grand tourer, although never quite having the same sporting image as the E-Type, was actually more aerodynamic with the final example leaving the production line on 4th April 1996. At that stage, 115,413 units had been manufactured during a 21 year production life. Power came from the Jaguar V12 engine with a choice of a manual or automatic transmission although the manual gearbox was soon dropped. V12 engine cars were unusual at the time with notable exceptions coming from Italian luxury sports car makers Lamborghini and Ferrari. The specifications of the XJS compared well with both Italian cars; it was able to accelerate to 60mph in 7.6 seconds and had a top speed of 143mph.This XJS V12 Convertible is presented in Satin Beige metallic with Barley hide and has incredibly low mileage from new. Also boasting low ownership, the first custodian kept the car until he sadly passed in 1998 when title was transferred to his widow who kept the car in long term storage for sentimental reasons. Old MoT certificates show that in 1996 the car had covered just 11,958 miles and by the time it went into storage a year or so later, the mileage had only increased to 14,214 miles. In June 2007 the car was then sold and recommissioned by the third owner, and an MoT in that year confirms the mileage at 14,813 and by 2008, the odometer reading was still only 15,036. The car was then once again put in long term storage where it remained until it was sold in 2014 and, again, recommissioned and fully serviced with an expenditure of over £7000.  The MoT test from March 2015 states the mileage as 15,163. Later that year, the owner decided to offer the car at an auction at the Car Fest show where our vendor, an avid car collector, purchased the XJS and has since used it sparingly, on high days and holidays, increasing the mileage to just 16,404. With care provided by Jaguar specialists Powerbell, low mileage and in stunning order, this is one of the best examples of the appreciating XJS convertibles on offer on the market today.Guide Price 18,000 - £25,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1973 Lancia Fulvia HF (1.6 litre) Transmission: manual Mileage: 62251Vincenzo Lancia was born in a little Italian village near Turin in 1881. He was the youngest of four children.He showed an aptitude for engineering first with bicycles then cars. He founded Lancia & C.Fabbrica Automobili with friend Claudio Fogolin in 1906 and focused on vehicle manufacture and motor racing. Lancia enjoyed a reputation for technical firsts in production innovation – first monocoque chassis,five speed gearbox and the first V6 and V4 engines.His son Gianni took over the company in 1937 and was heavily committed to racing and continuing innovation.His racing obsession was costly and in the 1960’s the company was sold to a private investor before sale to the Agnelli family in 1969.This impressive Lancia was purchased by Mr. Henry Morton of Fowey, Cornwall on 1st February 1973 and uses a shallow V4 engine configuration. At that time these were expensive vehicles, highly engineered and competitive, winning the Italian Rally Championship seven times in eight years. The car was originally presented in Verde, often referred to as Ascot dark green. After three years of ownership the car was transferred to his son John, who owned the car for the next 42 years. During his tenure the colour was changed Rosso Red, a glass sunroof was fitted as were a smart set of Cromodora alloys. The Lancia was purchased by our vendor in 2018, as a non-runner, after a two-year search. It has been the subject of a major and detailed ground up restoration to bring the car to the exceptional standard it is today. Original parts were sourced from across Europe to ensure authenticity throughout the restoration the seats and carburettors being rebuilt in Italy by specialists and original specification period correct new Michelin tyres were fitted. The bodywork, as shown in the photographic history, was undertaken by Cotswold Classic Cars at a cost in excess of £20,000. The fully documented engine and mechanical rebuild was entrusted to marque specialists, Richard Thorne Classic Lancia. The preparation for a European trip and subsequent rallies included a half roll cage, rally harnesses and electric fuelling with a pressure control filter. The fastidious vendor with an eye for detail tells us that he oversaw all works and that the total cost of the restoration was in excess of £60,000. This de-bumpered example is presented to auction with a V5C registration document and is offered as one of the finest examples of a series 2 1600HF available in recent years.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1993 BMW 850Ci Transmission: automatic Mileage: 138216Design of the 8 Series began in 1984 with the final design phase and production development in 1986. It debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in early September 1989 and was designed to move beyond the market of the original 6 Series. The 8 Series however had substantially improved performance as well as a far higher purchase price. Over 1.5 billion Deutsche Marks were spent on development; BMW used CAD tools, still unusual at the time, to design the car's all-new body. Combined with wind tunnel testing, the resulting car had a drag coefficient of 0.29 and offered the first V12 engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox on a road car. It was also one of the first vehicles to be fitted with an electronic 'drive-by-wire' throttle.This BMW 850Ci is a well presented example offered in a desirable colour combination. Both the paintwork and interior are in very good order and the car comes complete with a history file containing the current MoT test certificate and the UK V5C registration document. Recently treated to a an extensive respray the BMW looks wonderful. A commanding 90's sports car representing great value especially with the prices for modern classic V12's ever increasing.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1999 Porsche 996 Carrera 4 Transmission: manual Mileage: 89283The Porsche 996 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 model, manufactured and sold between 1998 and 2005. On its debut, the 996 featured the most significant changes to the Carrera model since its 1963 introduction, namely the water-cooled engine replacing the previously air-cooled unit. Progressively stringent noise regulations, environmental concerns, a higher expectation for refinement and a high performance, four-valve-per-cylinder engine made the switch necessary. Other changes included a sleeker body with a more steeply raked windshield and a redesigned interior. The performance characteristics remained superb with reliability at its core.This fine Carrera 4 996 has been cherished during the vendor's ownership and indeed, going further back, the accompanying history file shows various maintenance completed. Recently treated to an extensive respray, full service, new lamber sensors, exhaust hangers and manifolds and a reconditioned gearbox. The history file also includes the most recent MoT test certificate valid until January 2022, the current UK V5C registration document and many other sundry invoices. Enormous fun and well looked after, this Carrera 4 represents great value.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1991 Range Rover CSK Transmission: automatic Mileage: 127888The limited edition Range Rover CSK was launched in 1990 and was named after Charles Spencer King, the original Range Rover two-door designer. Production was limited to 200 vehicles of which the majority were built as manuals with only 49 cars being fitted with an automatic gearbox. The CSK featured a number of modifications to improve both performance and comfort including a re-chipped version of the 3.9 litre V8 engine which produced 185bhp. The increased performance was complemented by improved handling with front and rear anti roll bars, sports dampers and the introduction of anti-lock brakes. Standard equipment included six speaker stereo system, air conditioning, tilt and slide sunroof, electric windows and power door mirrors.The Range Rover CSK offered here is one of only 49 automatic cars produced and bears number 190 of 200. Registered in 1991, this very original CSK is finished in Beluga Black with beige, diamond stitch full leather interior and has covered 127,888 miles. Having been supplied new by County Motors, Lincoln it boasts a mixture of main dealer service stamps in its original service booklet and numerous invoices latterly. The car has undergone a documented restoration including a respray, full engine rebuild, mechanical overhaul and new interior trim by London specialist Graeme Hunt between 2013-2014. It is offered for sale with a current V5 registration document and a history file containing numerous invoices, a photographic record of the restoration, the original owner’s manual and service record book.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1990 Jaguar XJS Convertible Transmission: automatic Mileage: 52858In 1975, the Jaguar E-Type finally gave way to an all new and more efficient Jaguar, the Jaguar XJS.

The specifications of the XJS compared well with both Italian cars; it was able to accelerate to 60mph in 7.6 seconds and had a top speed of 143mph.Finished in metallic silver over a grey leather interior, this Jaguar was originally registered on 31st December 1990. Presented in good order throughout, the paintwork retains a deep shine and is generally very good, although there are some small areas that would benefit from a tidy up. the interior too is also in very good condition. The V12 engine sounds fantastic and the car is reported to be in fine running and driving order. Part of a private collection for some time, this XJS is showing a mere 52,858 miles on the odometer. Offered with a sizeable history file detailing previous maintenance work and toolkit, these low mileage V12’s are becoming increasingly difficult to find and this example we believe is offered with a very attractive reserve price.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1977 Morgan Plus 8 Transmission: manual Mileage: 26298Introduced in 1968, the Plus 8 became such an instant hit and enduring success that it not only provided the bedrock on which Morgan could build for the future, but quite possibly saved the company at a difficult time in its long history. Searching for new engines, Morgan concluded a deal with Rover for supply of its all aluminium 3.5 litre V8, thus creating a car that combined vintage charm with Cobra-like 'grunt' - the Plus 8. Morgan's Plus 4 chassis, strengthened and extended, formed the basis of the new car, while the existing Moss four-speed gearbox was also retained. After a successful debut at the 1968 London Motor Show, production commenced at the rate of around 15 cars per month. While the traditionally styled Morgan's brick-like aerodynamics restricted top speed to around 125mph (more than fast enough for most people driving an open car) the Rover V8's 168bhp made for supercar league performance through the gears. The Morgan Plus 8 was very popular and remained in production for 36 years. Originally registered on 21st March 1977, this Morgan has been owned by the vendor for the last 32 years. In 1987 the car was restored at The Morgan Motor Factory which included a new aluminium body, wings and frame. In 1993 the engine was rebuilt by Techniques Morgan to 4.1 litre ‘blueprint’ fast road specification, an oil cooler and Kenlowe fan were also fitted together with a Harpers SS tuned exhaust system. The brakes have been upgraded as have the shock absorbers, new 15” alloy wheels have been fitted, along with a number of additional subtle improvements. This is a Morgan that certainly travels with alacrity. During his stewardship, the vendor has spent long periods working overseas which accounts for the low mileage; however the car has been professionally stored in his absence. Presenting in very good order, this Morgan is supplied with a hardtop, V5C registration document and a good history folder, together with a number of spare parts and the original 14” wheels and tyres. Without doubt this is an interesting Plus 8 that offers performance and handling second to none.

1977 Morgan Plus 8 FIA Race Car Transmission: manual Mileage: 18000The Morgan Plus 8 was introduced in 1968 in England. Developed by Maurice Owen, it is based on a modified Plus 4 chassis and equipped with a V8 Rover engine attached to the Moss gearbox and a Salisbury axle with limited slip differential. The model gradually evolved until the V8 Rover disappeared in 2003. In 1983, the Plus 8 adopted fuel injection before switching to a 3.9L displacement in 1990. Developing 190 horsepower for a weight of only 940 kilograms, the Morgan Plus 8 went from 0 to 100 km/h in 6 seconds and reached 200 kilometres per hour in rush hour - a true sports car with a very classic design that delivers a lot of thrills! First registered on 1st December 1977, this 1976 road legal Plus 8 race car comes supplied with FIA papers making it a potential front runner and eligible for a wide range of race series ranging from HSCC Road Sports, 70’s Road Sport, Tour Auto and CSCC. Originally converted in the 1990’s for the Dutch Morgan Championship, it was used throughout Europe, competing no less than twenty-seven times by 2007. The car raced at all the ‘bucket list’ races Europe has to offer with entries at Spa, Nurburgring, Zolder, Hockenheim and Zandvoort amongst others and all documented in the accompanying Wagenpass booklet. Just rebuilt with no expense spared, including an RS Fabrications bespoke roll cage, complete suspension, brake and steering overhaul, as well as boasting a 3900cc John Eales Race Engine, (circa 270BHP), with roller rockers, adjustable pushrods and cylinder heads both just refreshed. Two new Sparco race seats have also been fitted along with new 6 point race harnesses, removeable Spacro steering wheel, extinguisher system, Race Tech gauges, silicone hoses and an aluminium radiator. Supplied with its UK V5C registration document, Wagenpass and its hardtop roof, this fantastic car offers great versatility ranging from use as a fast road car, road rally weapon or full front running racetrack racing thrills.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1939 Ford V8 Deluxe Transmission: manual Mileage: The sole coupé model was a five-window design, with a single bench seat for three people. This allowed the car to boast two luggage compartments, one reached by raising the boot lid, the other from inside by lifting the seatback. The coupé was available as either a Standard or DeLuxe model, the former with a choice of the small 60bhp V8 or the 221ci 85bhp powerplant. Standard Fords had a variation of the 1938 nose, less exterior trim, and a single taillight. In DeLuxe trim, cars had the new Gregorie front end, two taillights, and came with the 85 horsepower engine as standard equipment. For the first time the headlights were recessed smoothly into the front wings, but for the last time they had free-form lenses, unconstrained by the new round shape of standardised sealed beams. Despite its limited seating, the coupé proved quite popular, with 37,326 manufactured of all types. This placed it third in sales, behind the Tudor and Fordor saloons.This exquisite Ford V8 presents in beautiful condition. Imported into the UK in February 2015 this vehicle has been subject to a no expense spared, frame-up build featuring a modified, professionally built, 359 cubic inch Chevrolet engine fuelled by a Carter 600cfm carburettor with Brodix aluminium cylinder heads, roller rockers and a hydraulic performance camshaft. The distributor is an electronic Igniter ignition and cooling is handled by a Walker radiator with the power conservatively estimated at between an eye watering 350 and 400bhp! The gearbox is a 350 automatic with a Lokar shifter, the front suspension is independent with coilover shocks and heavy duty springs and the steering is rack and pinion. Braking at the front is taken care of by Mustang disc brakes and calipers and the rear axle is a heavy duty 9" Ford unit with drum brakes, all sitting on a powder-coated chassis. The interior of this coupé features new headlining, carpets, seats, door trims and seat belts and the beautifully original woodgrain-look dash gives a fantastically authentic feel. A complete Ron Francis wiring loom is also installed along with new VDU gauges to complement the banjo steering wheel and the front screen winds out just as it should. Presented in Cordoba Tan with chrome wheels housed by new Coker Classic whitewall tyres; 215/75/R15s on the back and 195/75/R15s on the front. Aesthetically a beautiful vehicle, the quality of which needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.  Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1969 Ford Escort Mk. I (1600) Transmission: manual Mileage: 68794The Mk. I Ford Escort was introduced in Ireland and the UK at the end of 1967 and made its show debut at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1968. It replaced the successful, long running Ford Anglia. The front suspension and steering gear were differently configured and the brakes were fitted with dual hydraulic circuits; also the wheels fitted on the Genk-built Escorts had wider rims. These models were hailed as an immediate success both domestically on the roads and for motor sport, particularly rallying/rallycross and hill climbing. A higher performance version of this iconic car was produced for rallies and a racing version was available, the Escort Twin-Cam, which were built for Group 2 international rallying. It had an engine with a Lotus-made eight-valve twin camshaft head fitted to the 1.5 litre non-crossflow block, which had a bigger bore than usual to give a capacity of 1,558cc. This engine had originally been developed for the Lotus Elan which had already proven itself in the market place, on the road and on the track. The Mk. I Escorts were incredibly successful and they eventually went on to become one of the most successful rally cars of all time. Only 883 of these rare sports cars were made.This fabulous Ford Escort was painstakingly built as a replica of the famous Mk. I Twin-Cam, thus resulting in the glorious white example we have here. Fitted with a Vulcan engineering built 1600 crossflow engine fed by twin 40’ Weber carburettors and mated to a highly sought after Tran-X straight cut gearbox, bucket seats, an all original shell and panels including flared Mexico arches, and uprated wildwood brakes, this example takes on a familiar guise as the infamous Twin-Cam rallying legend we know so well. The bodywork is in very good condition having been professionally stripped, treated, and resprayed and the paintwork is in excellent order showing very few blemishes throughout. Reported to run very well indeed, the engine sounds fantastic when on song. Offered with a sizeable history file with many invoices and photographs detailing the restoration, many previous MoT test certificates, various sundry invoices and the current V5 registration document. A fabulous tribute to the infamous Twin-Cam model, this wonderful car is ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

The specifications of the XJS compared well with both Italian cars; it was able to accelerate to 60mph in 7.6 seconds and had a top speed of 143mph. Originally registered on 3rd August 1990 this XJS Convertible has only had two owners from new and presents in beautiful condition. The Diamond Blue coachwork is unblemished as is the Doeskin leather interior, all of this is complemented by a blue hood. The first owner was a ‘Right Honourable’ gentleman who kept the car for 12 years, after which it was purchased by a very discerning enthusiast who has been equally diligent in the upkeep of this delightful example. Having covered a mere 35,812 miles in its 31 years on British roads this Jaguar is supplied with a V5C registration document, a current MoT test certificate and a history folder. XJS Convertibles have been increasing in value of late, a low ownership example such as this, together with low mileage and in fabulous condition makes this a highly desirable Jaguar. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1986 Lister Coupé (Jaguar XJ-S) ‘Chassis 001’ Press Car Transmission: manual Mileage: 9436Lister is one of the most renowned names in sports car racing history and the Lister-Jaguar, designed by Brian Lister, swept almost all before its first full racing season in 1957. From the early 1980’s the name has also graced some of the world's fastest road cars and in 1989, with the culmination of six years of development work, the Lister Le Mans arrived on the supercar scene. Christened 'Le Mans' to celebrate Jaguar's success there in the late 80's, the Lister totally transformed its Jaguar XJ-S base into a mega powerful 200mph supercar. The bored out 7.0 litre Jaguar engine produced a mighty 600bhp with an identical 600lbft of torque ensuring effortless acceleration in any gear. The name has graced some of the most important and fastest road cars in the world, after an agreement first with BLE Automotive and then WP Automotive saw converted XJ-S models marketed as Lister Jaguars.Offered to the open market for the first time in over three decades, chassis ‘001’ was registered on 28th October 1986 and originally used as Lister’s Press Car, featuring on the cover of Autocar Magazine in November 1986 which heralded ‘The return of the Lister Jaguar’. Originally built using a new seam welded, strengthened, XJ-S bodyshell and finished in grey over a cream leather interior with black carpets, this XJS was powered by a 5.0 litre engine. Lister later upgraded ‘001’ to its current specification which was documented and featured in Jaguar World Monthly. The specification included its Regency Red paintwork and tuned 7.0 litre Jaguar V12 engine with special nitride coated and dynamically balanced crankshafts. Fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox and many of Lister's typical improvements to the bodywork, chassis, suspension, brakes and wheels, the full Mk. III specification listed on file.In very good order throughout, the finish to the paintwork is excellent as you would expect with such a low mileage example. Accompanying the car is a history file detailing its important history which includes many sundry invoices, magazines features, previous MoT test certificates, the UK V5C registration document and a valid MoT test certificate. Offered directly from a private collection, this Lister has been maintained regardless of cost and serviced and exercised occasionally with the last full service, including all 12 spark plugs, undertaken at 8,999 miles. The vendor reports that the Lister will be driven to the sale and as such the mileage reading will differ slightly from the 9,436 showing at time of photography.This is a pure Lister and not to be confused with a Jaguar XJ-S conversion. A very special car indeed the 7.0 litre engine delivers a blistering 600bhp, the noise of which is earth shattering; justification enough to belong in any collection, let alone its rarity and significance as a part of Lister’s extraordinary history. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1985 BMW M635CSi Transmission: manual Mileage: 77849The BMW M635CSi was the brainchild of BMW’s Motorsport department and arrived to the market in 1984. Karmann manufactured the early 6 Series BMWs from launch in 1976 before BMW took production in-house. The engine was a development of the M1 supercar's 3453cc, 24 valve, six cylinder unit producing 286bhp, the increased power necessitating chassis improvements which included altered weight distribution, revised suspension, larger brakes and a limited slip differential. There was also a close ratio five-speed gearbox (or four speed multi-mode auto) and a more luxurious interior, while outwardly this ultimate 6 Series model was readily distinguishable by virtue of its 'M Technic' bodykit. Performance was impressive with the M635CSi capable of reaching 0-62mph in around six seconds on its way to a top speed in excess of 155mph.This fabulous, very rare, early chrome bumper, matching numbers M88 powered manual gearbox 'Shark' comes from a private BMW Car Club member and enthusiast and is a car well known in the Club having been seen at many Club Shows and notably was on the club stand at the NEC Classic Car Show. Presented in probably the best colour combination of Cosmos Blau with Pacific Blue interior with a factory fitted Mtec body kit. In fabulous condition throughout, it sits on period uprated alloy wheels housing uprated 8 Series brakes (original wheels also supplied) and boasting a limited slip differential. Originally registered on 1st August 1985 and delivered locally to Bracknell before selling through BMW Park Lane, this is a highly collectable, excellent example of the rare right hand drive M635 – one of just 524 right hand cars ever produced – and even if you were to buy a poor example, we believe it would cost in excess of £30,000 to reach the quality of this current car. Having purchased the BMW 17 years ago, the owner has amassed an extensive history file detailing the considerable amount of money he has been spent on refurbishing and restoring the car to its current excellent state. In 2009 a full body restoration and repaint was fulfilled by Autospray VSS in Henstridge, Somerset with full photographic evidence of the work included in the history file. In fantastic standard today, it also benefits from an original radio/cassette, Blaupunkt New York SQR83 model and all the electrics are reported to be in working order including sunroof and both front and rear windows. In 2016, with the mileage at 77,470, a full engine rebuild was undertaken by renowned specialists Munich Legends and less than 400 miles has been covered since. Recent works include a new fuel tank and ancillaries in 2019 and clutch and slave cylinder in 2018 together with a recent service this summer coupled to all the brake lines and fuel lines replaced.Garaged and used sparingly, this is a pampered example that we strongly recommend viewing. Accompanying the car is the original owner’s handbook and service book in its original wallet with the latest stamp in 2020 and the original toolkit with history detailing ownership from new. There are also many invoices, a BMW Heritage Certificate, every MoT test certificate going back to 1988 and a current MoT test certificate which expires in March 2022. The car drives extremely well and still feels quick on the open road even by today’s standards and, with just 60 currently registered in the UK and BMW classic prices soaring, this is a fabulous opportunity to snap up a seriously cool BMW M car with a stunning history.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1930 Nash Ambassador 8 (Four-door saloon) Transmission: manual Mileage: 5293The first use of the name Ambassador by Nash was during the 1927 model year when a specially trimmed four-door, five-passenger club saloon version of the ‘Nash Advanced Six’ (designated model 267) was developed. As the most expensive car in the line, the Ambassador received upgrades in upholstery and other trim items for a base price of $2,090. Exports accounted for almost 11% percent of Nash production in 1927, and the cars were purchased by several royal families. The Ambassador model lost its position as Nash's most expensive car in 1929 with the introduction of seven-passenger sedan and limousine models that were carried through the 1934 model year. The Ambassador remained in the Advanced Six range until 1930 when the model was moved to the ‘Nash Twin Ignition Eight’ series. In 1931, the cumbersome Twin Ignition Eight name was replaced by the simpler ‘Eight-90’ model designation.Imported from the US in 1991 where it had undergone a complete restoration to a very high standard, it is still looking superb for it today. The car has an eight-cylinder OHV engine and a three-speed manual transmission.

1932 Ford Model B Pick-up Transmission: manual Mileage: 995The Ford Model B was introduced in 1932 as a replacement for the Model A and was produced until 1934. It was available in a large variety of body styles including two-door roadster, two-door coupé, four-door sedans, four-door station wagons and also pick-up derivative. The Model B's proved very popular with bootleggers as they were easily modified then used to evade the revenue agents in the prohibition era. During the period after World War II, returning soldiers regularly upgraded Model B’s with larger engines, improved suspension and transmissions. It was common place to fit larger rear wheels to raise gear ratio at high speed, while in the front smaller wheels allowed the car to rake forward for improved aerodynamics. These cars were built to race and became known as 'Hot Rods'.The Ford Model B Pick-up 'Hot Rod' offered here is a highly desirable, all-steel, 1932 HiBoy model. Finished in deep Tartan Blue with tan leather interior, it has covered an indicated 981 miles since the rebuild. This remarkable car has undergone a complete, no expense spared, restoration and you can be left in no doubt it is fabulous throughout. Notable works include new powder coated chassis rails, chromed wishbones, chromed shocks to the front with adjustable coil overs on the rear, polished finned alloy brake covers for the Speedway polished front discs brakes with fully refurbished rear drum brakes. This exceptional pick-up is powered by fully rebuilt (circa 1961) Buick 401 Nailhead V8, 6600cc engine with a .30 though bore which breaths through an Edelbrock carburettor offering circa 400bhp. The powerful engine is mated to a five-speed Tremec 600 manual gearbox which sends power via a new propshaft to a Moser 9 Ford rear axle. Additional mechanical works have included Sanderson chrome lustre block hugger heads, new exhaust system, Pertronix electronic ignition system, new aluminium radiator with electric fan, high torque starter motor, mini high-output alternator and full rewire throughout. Other notable works include new front and rear metal bumpers, new running boards, new steel bonnet, new glass all round, new Classic Instruments gauges including volts, oil, temperature, rev. counter and speedometer. The chrome is in excellent condition throughout with refurbished Ford Towlite headlights with fully functional indicators hidden inside. The pick-up is finished off with a fully treated wooden rear load bed and stainless steel runners. This stunning example sounds awesome with an incredible exhaust note and is extremely quick to drive. Supplied with a current UK V5C registration document, correctly registered as a 1932 vehicle, this car is exceptional - viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the superb quality. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1959 GMC 370 ‘Flatbed’ Transmission: automatic Mileage: The Chevrolet Task Force was Chevrolet's successor to the Advance Design series. The Task Force series ran from late 1955 (second series) through 1959. At GMC dealers, it was called the Blue Chip series. The 1955 second series offered standard options and add-ons such as 12-volt electrical systems, Chevrolet’s first V8 engine since 1915 (265 cubic inches), and Fleetside beds in 1958. Commercial trucks and various other heavy-duty models were available.This stunning customised ‘flatbed’ truck has undergone a detailed and expensive £50,000 restoration by the renown specialists, Adam Redding Classic Cars in South Buckinghamshire in 2018 (photos of restoration can be seen in the history file). The body was taken right back to bare metal and resprayed and looks fabulous, the interior is new as is the dashboard and door cards. It is based on a RV chassis and is powered by a big block Ford 460, 7.3 litre V8, mated to an automatic gearbox with Hurst shifter, which sounds fantastic via its mighty looking twin chrome exhausts which tower above the truck behind the cab. This versatile semi-commercial truck can be driven on a standard driving license and is fitted with an electric winch which could be used to haul up your classic vehicle to take to shows or to be utilised for commercial use, depending on reason to purchase. This vehicle is tax and MoT exempt, looks stunning, sounds stunning and has great performance to match its looks.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1965 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster (4.2 Litre) Transmission: manual Mileage: 1013The E-Type design owed much to that of the racing D-Type, a monocoque tub forming the main structure while a tubular spaceframe extended forwards to support the engine. Conceived and developed as an open sportscar, the Jaguar E-Type debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1961 in coupé form. The car caused a sensation, spontaneous applause breaking out at the unveiling, with its instantly classic lines and a 140mph plus top speed. In October 1964, the 4.2 litre model was released. The more powerful engine, all-synchromesh gearbox and Lockheed brake servo formed part of the new specification and made for a much more user-friendly car. Apart from '4.2' badging, the car's external appearance was unchanged, but under the skin there were numerous detailed improvements, mainly to the electrical and cooling systems, and to the seating which was upgraded to a more comfortable touring style. Top speed remained unchanged at around 150mph, but the main performance gain from the larger engine was more torque at lower RPM.This wonderful matching numbers example was originally delivered to Jaguar Cars, New York and has more recently been repatriated to the UK in February 2019. Since being imported this E-Type has undergone a comprehensive restoration and as such is offered in superb condition. Finished in British Racing Green with tan interior and green Mohair hood, this E-Type is simply stunning from all angles and it is easy to see where the superlatives emanate from. During the restoration, this E-Type was converted to right hand drive. The body was stripped to bare metal, repaired where necessary and resprayed in the resplendent British Racing Green paintwork it wears today. The engine and gearbox were extensively overhauled by marque specialists, Rushton Engineering at a cost of £14,742. Also present are invoices from E Type specialists totalling circa £30,000. The work undertaken includes a full retrim with new hood and hood frame, re-chroming of the brightwork and the fitting of new wire wheels, amongst various other works.Accompanying the car is a sizeable history file containing many invoices and photographs detailing the restoration, the Jaguar Heritage Certificate, and the current UK V5 registration document. This is a very well-presented car that has done very little mileage since the restoration and is ready to be enjoyed by its new custodian.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL (3.5 litre) Transmission: automatic Mileage: 28850The Mercedes-Benz W108 and W109 were luxury cars produced from 1965 through to 1972 and 1973 in North America only. The line was an update of the predecessor W111 and W112 fintail saloon. The W108 models were the 280S and 280SE, with production starting in November 1967. These replaced the 250S, 250SE and 300SE, however production of export-designated 250S would continue until March 1969. In January 1968, the model line was joined by yet another car, the 280SEL. The car had the longer wheelbase of the W109, but lacked the expensive and problematic pneumatic suspension and other features of the 300SEL. Hence the chassis code remained W108.Imported from Japan, this lovely very original example is presented in black with grey interior which is half cloth and half MB-Tex. Its smooth and rare 3.5 litre V8 is mated to an automatic gearbox and with its sprung suspension, this model is one of the most desirable for the discerning collector. These luxury saloons were the choice of Embassies and Royalty around the world and were a delight to drive, performing well on those long journeys which ate up the miles effortlessly and in comfort. This particular car us showing a mere 28,850km (17,926 miles) on the odometer. A very nice example indeed and ready for a new custodian.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1974 Alpine Renault A110 1600S ‘1975 Targa Florio Entrant’ Transmission: manual Mileage: This Dieppe built 1600 S was delivered new to the Italian province of Palermo in 1974. Originally registered as ‘PA 413826’ chassis number 18351 was finished in Blanc Gardenia and was entered into the 1975 Targa Florio. Wearing race number 88 the Alpine was campaigned by O.Rubino and D.Vesco at the wheel, the pair placed an exceptional 23rd overall and 3rd in the 1.6 litre GT class. Its impressive participation is documented by period photographs and is featured in the book ‘Alpine Renault A110: Les Bleus Italiennes written by Francesco Panarotto’. Sold shortly after the race the Renault was acquired by an individual who stored the car for some 25 years. In 2000 the Alpine was purchased by a family who set about recommissioning the car. It was removed from storage and returned to running condition through a complete overhaul of the engine, gearbox, clutch and brakes. Over the course of the last twenty years, and until recently, it has been used sparingly, aside from the occasional excursion to ensure everything is in working order. At this time, the car received an FIA HTP with vintage racing in mind, but it has yet to compete in any events. As a proper Group 3 privateer sprint racer, it still retains its period Halda Tripmaster and is fitted with its original period roll cage. This Alpine was acquired by a former Le Mans team owner and driver in 2018 who spent a small fortune on various recommissioning. He reports that the Renault is huge amounts of fun when on cam - yet docile and easy to drive in town. It is exceptionally engaging! The history file that accompanies the car includes the aforementioned documentation from the FIA, the original Italian Libretto, photos of various recommissioning, the current UK registration document, many period photographs of the 1975 Targa Florio and sundry invoices from recent works. This UK road registered example is ready to be enjoyed on the sweeping country roads and could once again be a highly competitive entrant to a number of vintage events. With its compelling and detailed racing history we are sure the new custodian will have huge amounts of fun!Period photos courtesy of Actualfoto Interested parties should note that if this vehicle is purchased and registered in Europe, the vendor is willing to pay 5% of the final hammer price (Circa £5,750) as a gesture of goodwill to accommodate the EU Taxes that would be due on the vehicle.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1983 Porsche 911 SC Cabriolet (3.0 Litre) Transmission: manual Mileage: 14218Routinely rated as one of the greatest sports cars of all time, Porsche’s 911 has been the benchmark for more than five decades and interest in early examples has never been stronger. Although the current 991 series is a far cry from that first 911 of 1964, the basic elements - flat-six ‘boxer’ motor mounted behind the rear wheels, sharp steering and excellent handling in a relatively practical (and utterly reliable) package - have never changed. Constant development kept the 911 ahead of its rivals and by the early 1980s, when the example offered here was built, the air-cooled flat six had grown from the original two litres capacity to three litres, the wheelbase increased for better weight distribution and handling and Bosch fuel injection made the engine both more reliable and tractable. All 911s built between 1978 and 1983 were badged as SCs (with S standing for Super and C for Carrera), featuring a Thyssen zinc-coated galvanised bodyshell, updated bodywork with colour-coded headlamp bezels and anodised black door handles and window frames and a host of mechanical improvements. In 1983 Porsche finally unveiled an open-topped version of the 911, known as the Cabriolet, the first fully open sports car to emerge from Stuttgart since the days of the 356. The Cabrio’s floorpan was properly reinforced chassis to ensure the bodyshell remained rigid, while the hood itself was a manual design that cleverly incorporated various steel sheets for additional strength and safety. This was also the final year of the 911 SC model, with previous upgrades including the five-speed Type 915 gearbox, improved brakes and more power from the venerable flat six, thanks to the raised compression ratio of 9.8:1 along with revised Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection settings. The interior came in for some improvements as well, with electric windows and air conditioning now standard equipment. The 911 SC remains the best value 911 of all, offering classic 911 style with bags of performance, robust mechanicals, and outstanding build quality. This stunning right hand drive 1983 Porsche 911 SC Cabriolet was supplied new to the Sultan of Brunei in Malaysia and it is believed to have only covered 14,250 kilometres or less than 9,000 miles from new. The Sultan gave this Porsche to one of his staff and while in Malaysia the colour was changed to red. Imported to the UK in 2019, the new owner set about returning the car to its original specification, this included removing all the panels and repainting the car back to its original colour of white, refreshing the black leather interior, refurbishing the wheels, and fitting new tyres. For the Mechanics it was sent to Caversham Porsche where it was serviced, new oil cooler pipes fitted, new exhaust system and the air conditioning serviced. The service book is stamped with its first service in Malaysia and the recent service here in the UK. This Porsche is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate, the original service book and the invoices for the work carried out in the UK. This well sorted cabriolet is ready to be used and enjoyed, it would be very rare to find one with lower mileage and in such excellent condition. Interested parties should note that a new mph speedo has been fitted to this car and mileage set to match the kilometre clock which was removed and is available to view.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1960 Aston Martin DB4 Series II Transmission: manual Mileage: Launched at the London Motor Show in 1958, the Aston Martin DB4 emphatically demonstrated that a British manufacturer could better the Italians at their own game when it came to constructing the ultimate Gran Turismo. Classically proportioned and instantly recognisable from the moment of its introduction, the Touring-styled DB4 established a look that would survive, with only minor revisions, until 1970. Following in the classic tradition of close-coupled sports saloons, the 3.7-litre DB4 Aston Martin carries orthodox modernity to its highest pitch. A luxurious two-seat saloon which can carry four adults when necessary, it recorded almost 140mph as a two-way mean speed over the measured mile. That the DB4 was able to manifest this rare combination of unrestrained high performance and civilised docility was down to its magnificent engine. A new design by Tadek Marek, the DB4's all alloy, twin overhead camshaft six featured 'square' bore and stroke dimensions of 92mm for a displacement of 3670cc and developed its maximum output of 240bhp at 5,500rpm. The David Brown gearbox was a new four speed all-synchromesh unit. An immensely strong platform-type chassis replaced the DB2/4's multi-tubular space frame, the latter being considered incompatible with Touring's Superleggera body construction that employed its own lightweight tubular structure to support the aluminium-alloy body panels. The DB2/4's trailing link independent front suspension gave way to unequal length wishbones while at the rear the DB4 sported a live axle located by a Watts linkage instead of its predecessor's Panhard rod. The DB4's peerless credentials as a Grand Routier were summed up thus by The Motor: 'Performance, controllability and comfort have been combined in the Aston Martin DB4 to make it a highly desirable car; one in which long journeys can be completed very quickly indeed with the minimum of risk or discomfort and the maximum of pleasure.' Manufactured between October 1958 and June 1963, the DB4 developed through no fewer than five series.This DB4 was originally sold to Mr. R. G. Lawrence in Norwich by Aston Martin dealers Brooklands of Bond Street, London on 17th August 1960. It was then sold to Mr. Hudson-Morley in Leeds who then sold it to Mr. Boxston in Bath. After that, records show that the car was bought by father and son, Mr. Alain and Laurent De Clercq in France where it remained for a number of years. Whilst in Mr. De Clercq’s ownership, much work was carried out by Atelier de L’Artisan, owned by Frederic DeLaere, between 2012 and 2015, invoices for which are included in the history file. It was subsequently registered in the UK on 22nd March 2016 with the registration number it bears today. The history file contains a record of invoices detailing all work carried out each year from 2016 to 2019 by Aston Martin Works in Newport Pagnell which totals £38,942. Copies of photos of some of the work are also included in the file. The wonderful red leather interior is original and in very good condition and the present owner had the 1960 rear windscreen removed and replaced with a bespoke new one to include a built in aerial for the original radio which is in 100% working order. He also had some modern internal work completed to bring it up to today’s standard including converting the electrical system to negative earth at a cost in excess of £6,000, all whilst retaining the original aesthetics. The exterior paintwork, in iconic Aston Martin Metallic Green, is in exemplary condition. This fabulous example of the iconic British sports car is still stunningly beautiful and the sound of the straight six engine howling through the country roads is addictive. Without doubt this is a splendid example of one of Newport Pagnell’s finest designs.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1966 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster (4.2 Litre) Transmission: manual Mileage: 3600Introduced in 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type’s striking presence dazzled crowds and upended the automotive world. The British car was handsomely designed by a team led by the imaginative Malcom Sayer with the blessing of Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons. The success of the E-Type was due, in no small part, to its stunning looks, high performance, and competitive pricing, the equivalent Ferrari of the day was costing three times more and delivering less horsepower! With Jaguar's racing pedigree from the 1950s still fresh in the memory, it's no wonder the E-Type captured the hearts and minds of all who were at the launch. Built in 1966, this Series I car is fitted with the 4.2 litre powerplant, often considered the best E-Type engine. For the 4.2 model Jaguar introduced their own all-synchromesh gearbox along with improved seating and brakes. The new gearbox allowed faster changes and was well received in the motoring press at the time, offering an exhilarating driving experience for both pilot and passenger. Apart from 4.2 badging, the car's external appearance was unchanged but under the skin there were numerous detail improvements, chiefly to the electrical and cooling systems, top speed remained unchanged. The Jaguar E-Type is a genuine head-turner which thrives on its legendary reputation for sporting performance (it was based on Jaguar’s D-Type Le Mans racer) and ageless design.Delivered new in 1966 to the United States this well presented, matching number, Series I E-Type has been professionally converted to right hand drive and is offered in Primrose Yellow over a black leather interior. Treated to an extensive restoration which included the removal of the gearbox and an engine overhaul, as well as various other works, totalling to circa £25,000. Offered in very good order throughout, the paintwork and interior show little sign of age and the engine bay is clean. The vendor reports that this E-Type runs and drive well and has been part of his private collection for some time. Accompanying the car is a sizeable history file detailing the restoration and including photographs of the process, various MoT test certificates, sundry invoices, and a V5 registration document. Ready for the coming summer months, we are sure this well looked after example will prove to be huge amounts of fun for its new custodian.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1998 Porsche 996 C2 Transmission: Mileage: 111000The Porsche 996 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 model manufactured and sold between 1998 and 2005. On its debut, the 996 featured the most significant changes to the Carrera model since its 1963 introduction, namely the water-cooled engine replacing the previously air-cooled unit. Progressively stringent noise regulations, environmental concerns, a higher expectation for refinement and a high-performance, four-valve per cylinder engine made the switch necessary. Other changes included a sleeker body with a more steeply raked windshield and a re-designed interior.This very tidy example is presented in Zenith Blue with grey leather interior and comes with a full main dealership service history which is so rare with these cars. These early cars don't have fly by wire but cables which is more desirable. The last service was carried out in January 2020 at 109,913 miles and it comes with virtually all invoices and a fully stamped service book which is also extremely important and reassuring for any prospective purchaser. The car has air conditioning, satellite navigation, CD player, sports seats, six-speed gearbox, 18” wheels and comes with two sets of keys and all its original factory books. The previous owner replaced the clutch at 75,000 miles and it has been meticulously maintained and serviced throughout its life, thus it is now being presented in such great condition.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2003 Porsche 911 / 996 Carrera 4S Tiptronic Transmission: automatic Mileage: 94421The first 996 Series cars arrived on our shores in October 1997 but only in hard top Coupé form. Those who wished to have the wind in their hair had to twiddle their thumbs for another year before the Cabriolet versions were launched, as well as Carrera 4 all-wheel drive variants. Both manual and the Tiptronic S automatic gearbox were offered. 2001 saw a revision of the 911 Carrera 2 and 4 ranges, with turbo-look headlamps, revised steering and suspension, some interior upgrades, but most importantly of all, a 3.6-litre engine which developed 320bhp. The Cabriolet version's hood was amended, and it also gained a glass rear window. The Targa version was also revived, but this time around it was a beauty with an electrically sliding glass roof and an opening rear window.This very nice example is presented in the much sought after colour combination of Basalt Black Pearl exterior with black leather interior. The front seats are fully heated with electric memory the roof lining is Alcantara. The car also has factory fitted Porsche satellite navigation, Bose surround sound system and Bluetooth headset, reversing parking sensors, digital climate control air conditioning.

1972 Mercedes-Benz 350SL Transmission: manual Mileage: 149764The Mercedes R107 was launched in 1971 and production continued through to 1989 - a hefty 18 years; the longest single series ever produced by the firm besides the G-Class utility vehicle. The R107 replaced the W113 Pagoda SL in 1972 and was replaced by the R29 SL in 1989. Some 237,000 R107 SL's were built and about two thirds were sold in the U.S. The car was essentially a two-seater sports car although a small seating arrangement was available behind the front seats. Mercedes-Benz offered a number of engine choices over the years, the first cars in 1971 being fitted with the 350 engine, a V8 3.5-litre unit. By 1973 a larger 4.5-litre, V8 was available, constructed primarily for the U.S. market. The SL Roadster has since become the epitome of how a luxury roadster should look and is as popular today as when first launched.This lovely example was first registered on 10th February 1972 and is presented in the rare colour combination of aqua blue over a deep blue leather interior. Offered with what many would consider to be the best combination for an R107 Mercedes, a 3.5 litre engine mated to a manual gearbox with the rare jump seats at the rear.The vendor reports that this 350SL is in good order throughout, treated to a restoration some time ago the chrome work presents well and shows little sign of age, as does the paintwork which is in fine order.

1991 Ferrari 348 TS Transmission: manual Mileage: 43803The Ferrari 348 was a mid-engined, rear wheel drive V8 powered two-seater replacing the 328 in 1989 and continuing until 1995. Badged 348 TB for the coupé (Berlinetta) and 348 TS (Spider) for the targa versions, it features a naturally aspirated 3.4 litre version of the quad-cam, four valve per cylinder engine which was originally found in the 288GTO. As with its predecessors, the model number was derived from this configuration with the first two digits being the displacement and the third being the number of cylinders. The engine, which produced 300bhp, was mounted longitudinally and coupled to a transverse manual gearbox similar to the Mondial T with which the 348 shared many components. The 'T' in the model name TB and TS refers to the transverse position of the gearbox. The 348 was equipped with a dry-sump oil system to prevent oil starvation at high speeds and during hard cornering.This fabulous privately owned and cherished right hand drive 348 TS has been part of a significant Ferrari collection for some time and has been dry stored and exercised occasionally during the vendors tenure. Offered in Rosso Corsa over a Crema leather interior, this Ferrari presents very well indeed and comes with a comprehensive history with no less than 15 services recorded, all completed by renowned Ferrari specialists. The most recent of which was undertaken by Kent High Performance Cars at 43,788 which included a cambelt change. Inspecting the car and the history file will lead any interested party to view this as a very well cared for car. Offered with a MoT test certificate until March 2022, a full Ferrari toolkit and book pack, various sundry invoices, and the current V5 Registration document.

1996 Bentley Azure Transmission: automatic Mileage: 64529The Bentley Azure was launched in 1995 and based on the platform of the Continental R Coupé which had been launched in 1991. The Azure often surprised with its size and bulk, intended to both convey a sense of presence and allow for comfortable seating of four adult passengers. Power came from the company's stalwart 6.75 litre V8, featuring a single intercooled turbocharger producing in the region of 380bhp. The gearbox was a General Motors sourced four-speed automatic unit with the Azure capable of 0 to 60mph in an impressive 6.1 seconds. Owing to the limited space at Bentley's Crewe factory, the Azure was designed and manufactured by Pininfarina, significantly adding to the vehicle's production cost.Registered in October 1996 this delightful Bentley Azure is finished in the best colour combination of Royal Blue with Parchment leather interior. The modest mileage of 64,000 is complemented with a good service history, the car being recently serviced by Hanwell Cars in London, a well known and respected marque specialist. Open the door of this Azure and the opulence is immediately apparent, the flying ‘B’ etched into the headrests, leather in abundance, all of which is surrounded by ample walnut wood.

1981 AC Cobra SRV 8 by Roadcraft Transmission: manual Mileage: 20439The hugely charismatic AC Cobra has remained the undisputed market leader for more than 25 years within the field of replica cars, with many steadily establishing themselves as much sought after classic sports cars in their own right. It is no exaggeration to say that these cars tend to amaze all who go out in them; harnessing the power with consummate ease and providing levels of grip, composure and ride comfort that simply have to be experienced to be believed.This example of the Roadcraft SRV 8 AC Cobra replica was built and is still owned by our vendor, a Chartered Mechanical Engineer. The build took 906 hours to complete between 1995 and 1997 with the brief being to make a road legal sports car that could be used as a daily driver and get as close as possible to the original 1965 AC Cobra 427. We are assured great care was taken to improve the quality, functionality, appearance, and longevity of the car as shown on the build sheet document included in the impressive history file. Presented in the iconic colours of the 1965 AC Cobra 427, it boasts the Ford 351 c.i. small block Windsor V8 coupled to a five speed Borg Warner gearbox with Daimler XJ6 differential and running gear. The donor car is a 1981 Daimler Sovereign Series II registered on 7th August 1981, therefore it is anticipated that road tax exemption will apply from this summer. Offered with an MoT until October 2021, the full wet weather gear, comprehensive history file which also contains an assembly manual, UK V5C logbook, weight certificate, service log and check list, parts list, wiring diagrams and wheel alignment certificate, everything a new owner would need to know about the car. A great sounding car with looks to match, with a very sensible estimate.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1968 Maserati Quattroporte Series II Transmission: manual Mileage: 79578The Quattroporte was introduced at the October/November 1963 Turin Motor Show, where a pre-production prototype was on the Maserati stand next to the Mistral coupé. Regular production began in 1964. The Tipo 107 Quattroporte joined two other grand tourers, the Facel Vega and the Lagonda Rapide and was capable of travelling at 124mph on the new motorways in Europe. It was equipped with a 4.1 litre, V8 engine, producing 260hp at 5000rpm and either a five-speed ZF manual transmission or a three-speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox on request. In 1966, Maserati revised the Tipo 107, adding the twin headlights already used on the U.S. model. A leaf-sprung solid axle took place of the previous De Dion tube. The interior was completely redesigned including the dashboard which now had a full width wood trimmed fascia.As detailed by the Maserati certification AM1072400 was originally produced at the Maserati factory on 31st October 1969. This very rare factory right hand drive manual example was delivered new to Australia and originally in Luci di Mezzanotte with white leather trim. Now presented in blue coachwork with complementary blue leather luxury trim and stunning walnut veneer. Little of the cars early history is known, it is believed to have been owned by a Mr. Huntley from 1984 to 1998 when he sold the car with the House of Maserati in Sydney, Australia to a Bob Burnes who carried out an initial body restoration before selling in early 2012 to a Maserati collector who completed an engine rebuild, all of which is detailed in the history file. In 2014, Oldtimer Australia purchased the car and enlisted Autodelta to compile a full inspection and rectify any minor issues before servicing, Oldtimer Australia then sold the car to our vendor, a successful collector and businessman in aviation who is the current custodian of a modest collection of classic cars.Our vendor who has high standards for his cars sent the car to Joe Macari for servicing when it arrived and some remedial work in 2015 before he commissioned the well-respected classic car specialist, Adam Redding to recommission and further finish the car to his exacting standards. Between 2015 and 2016 a further £30,000 plus was spent and the car thus now is in fine fettle indeed, often seen gracing the streets of West London turning heads as it goes. A fabulous opportunity to own a stylish well restored icon of the 60’s. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 Triumph TR6 Transmission: manual Mileage: 22954The Triumph TR6 was manufactured for seven years from 1969 and by the time production came to an end in July 1976, it was the best-seller of the TR range. The bodywork closely resembled that of the previous model, the Triumph TR5, but the front and rear were squared off and all TR6s featured inline six-cylinder engines. For the US market, the engine was fitted with carburettors whilst, for other world markets including the UK, the TR6 was fitted with fuel-injection. It featured a four-speed manual gearbox, independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 15 wheels and tyres, pile carpet on the floors and boot, bucket seats and a full complement of instruments. In total 94,619 TR6s were built of which 86,249 were sold overseas and only 8,370 were sold in the UK.First registered on 1st August 1972, the BMI Heritage Certificate for this lovely TR6 shows the car was built on 9th May 1972 and left the factory the day after. This desirable ‘CP’ 150BHP car was a UK home market supplied vehicle, which included the overdrive gearbox option from new. The overdrive gearbox has been rebuilt and the vendor reports it to change both smoothly and efficiently. The engine also benefitted from a full rebuild, at which time it was lightened and balanced, had an unleaded conversion, TH5 camshaft fitted, spin on oil filter, electric fan, Bosch fuel pump, high torque starter motor, all running through a stainless steel exhaust system. The differential was also reconditioned with strengthened mountings and polybushes. More recently it has had electronic ignition fitted, with a full service in 2018 at a cost of £728.88 by renowned Revington TR and another £1,513.01 spent in 2019, again by Revington TR. When the engine was rebuilt the car also had the dashboard restored and MX5 seats fitted, with the carpets and hood presenting in immaculate condition. The speedo and tacho have been refurbished, reading accurately with no needle bounce. The whole car has just been subject to a comprehensive recommission, with the vendor reporting it to run and drive beautifully.Supplied with its UK V5C registration document, BMI Heritage Certificate, previous MoT test certificates and many receipts. This example, offered in its ultimate high powered specification, is not to be confused with the average TR6. Its condition is fantastic and it presents like a freshly restored car.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1958 MG A Roadster Transmission: Mileage: When the MGA arrived in 1955, it must have come as quite a shock to MG aficionados who had become accustomed to the pre-war look of the company's sports cars. It was a complete departure in styling and its beautiful streamlined body was right up to the minute in terms of appearance. It was powered by a new engine; MG had decided that the old XPAG unit had had its day and so introduced a much more modern B-Series engine that had made its debut in the recently announced Magnette saloon. The 'A' was officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955. Only 5,869 cars were sold on the home market, giving the MGA the highest export percentage of any British car and was replaced by the MGB in May 1962.This delightful MGA presents well in dark green metallic with black trim piped in cream. Manufactured in 1958 and originally registered in the United States, 167 YUF was repatriated to the UK in 2011. On its return the car benefitted from a restoration which included a conversion to right hand drive and the fitment of a five speed gearbox. This handsome MGA has seen little use recently but fired into life when requested and we are informed is a delight to drive. The history file that accompanies this car includes a V5C registration document, previous MoT test certificates and sundry invoices. Sitting proudly on chrome wire wheels with a recently fitted new hood, this usable MGA is realistically priced. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1964 Triumph Triumph TR4 ‘Surrey Top’ Transmission: manual Mileage: 89950Already a legend, Giovanni Michelotti produced the external styling for Triumph's new TR4. It represented a new age in aesthetics and pedigree for Triumph and was extremely well received both in the UK and in the US. Underneath, new rack and pinion steering, widened front & rear track and an all-synchromesh gearbox contributed to much improved driveability.Leaving the factory in 1964, the specification for this car has remained the same, that is to say, original colour scheme, a classic Signal Red exterior and a black Vynide interior with Surrey top. In addition to this, further equipment included 60 spoke wire-wheels, a Signal Red hard top, heater, windscreen washers and Goodyear-tubed tyres. Throughout its life, it is clear to see, simply by flicking through the extensive history folder, that enormous care has been taken to keep this car in excellent order, often down to the smallest detail. On the road the car drives with enough integrity and vigour to suggest that a large part of its operational life lies ahead of it, indeed, it is a pleasure to see that the previous long-term owner has maintained this example so well and to such a degree that it still looks as fresh as it did back in October 1964. Supplied with the original owner’s handbook, the quality of this still very original yet fastidiously presented example should generate significant interest both within the TR Register and wider classic car enthusiasts’ community.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1991 Porsche 928 GT Transmission: manual Mileage: 122338Critics immediately recognised the advances inherent in the 928 over the 911 and it was universally praised as one of the greatest GT cars of all time. It handled, it was quick, it looked fantastic, and it was comfortable. With the 928, Porsche created a serious long-distance grand-touring car that could also tackle twisting B roads with ease thanks to super direct steering, fifty-fifty weight distribution and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted. Many road testers found that their nerve ran out long before the 928’s grip. Porsche continuously developed the 928 throughout its production life, culminating with the launch of the S4 in 1987 which differed slightly from the earlier cars with its smoothed-off front and rear bumpers, larger rear spoiler, more interior equipment, and a five litre version of the V8 engine developing 316bhp. 1989 saw further development with the launch of the GT model, featuring a more powerful five litre engine creating 326bhp, but more importantly, the introduction of a five-speed manual gearbox for those who wanted a sportier driving experience.This lovely, rare right hand drive Porsche 928 GT is fitted with the desirable five-speed ‘dog-leg’ manual gearbox and has recently been repainted and the leather seats repadded. The cambelts and diff lock pump were replaced in 2018, less than 500 miles ago. The car has also just been serviced and completely gone through, approximately £10,000 has been spent on this Porsche over the last three years. Looking resplendent in black with black leather interior, this 928 GT is supplied with a V5 registration document and has an MoT test certificate which expires in 2022. It is believed that only 38 right hand drive, manual 928 GTs were supplied to the UK market making this one of the rarest Porsches that any collector or enthusiast could own.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1975 MG B GT Transmission: manual Mileage: 30700The fixed-roof MGB GT was introduced in October 1965. Production continued until 1980, although export to the U.S. ceased in 1974. The MGB GT sported a ground-breaking greenhouse designed by Pininfarina and launched the sporty 'hatchback' style. By combining the sloping rear window with the rear deck lid, the B GT offered the utility of a station wagon while retaining the style and shape of a coupé. This new configuration was a 2+2 design with a right-angled rear bench seat and far more luggage space than in the roadster. Relatively few components differed, although the MGB GT did receive different suspension springs and anti-roll bars and a different windscreen which was more easily and inexpensively serviceable.This lovely example is presented in white with red leather interior. This wonderful British classic has been extensively rebuilt over the last eight years to a high standard and using some new parts where necessary. The history file contains many invoices for all the parts renewed and a list of the work carried out in chronological order. Its interior is in excellent condition with the walnut dash gleaming as it should, complementing the red leather and white piping to the front and rear seats. Its 1800cc engine is mated to a four-speed gearbox, with overdrive which makes it great for modern day driving and is ready for the next owner to enjoy.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1966 Triumph TR4A IRS Transmission: manual Mileage: 29520Produced between 1961 and 1967, the Triumph TR4 combined a new, modern, and aggressive body design by famed Italian stylist, Giovanni Michelotti, with the basic chassis of the previous TR3A. The TR4 also improved passenger comfort with wind-up windows, face-level ventilation, and an optional hardtop. When equipped with the optional overdrive, the TR4 was good for a top speed of almost 110mph. Following on from the TR4, the new TR4A was phased in smoothly at the beginning of 1965 and introduced an all-new independent rear suspension system (IRS), which provided exceptional rear-wheel camber control with excellent wheel travel while softer springs improved the ride quality. The press was happy to see an all-independent car, and Triumph was pleased to be the first British car manufacturer to have all-independent suspensions under every car in their line-up. At the Sebring 12 Hours in 1966, ample proof of the validity of the IRS was provided when three IRS-equipped TR4As achieved a remarkable 1-2-3 class victory.Purchased by the vendor in April 2000 whilst living and working in the U.S. he initially did general maintenance to the car to keep it roadworthy as his daily driver. It was only when he moved back to the UK and repatriated the car along with him in 2003 that he started the long process of fully restoring the car. Work started in earnest in 2004 and the car was completely dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up. A true ‘body off’ restoration, every element of the car was gone through. During the process, the vendor took the opportunity to rebuild its original gearbox into a correct, A type overdrive specification, whilst maintaining its ‘numbers matching’ prowess and improving its cruising drivability. The speedometer was also recalibrated at the same time to read correctly with the overdrive gearbox upgrade. The vendor diligently kept a record of the car’s use and service record in a dedicated diary and the car is also supplied with its BMI Heritage Certificate confirming the car is still in its original colour specification of Triumph Racing Green with leather black interior (new) and hood, (also new). It also benefits from a new Walnut dashboard, wool carpets and a new set of MWS Chrome wire wheels shod with a new set of Michelin XZX tyres.Supplied with a V5C registration document, BMI Heritage Certificate, owner’s diary, owner’s handbook and file full of receipts and history of the car’s life, as well as two sets of original keys, a complete toolkit and jack and fitted with a Bluetooth DAB radio. Having been despatched to the U.S. at the very end of 1965, the car was well optioned from new with leather seats and sixty spoke wire wheels. Presented in freshly restored condition and as clean underneath as it is on top, this beautiful TR4A is ready to hit the road again and be admired wherever it goes, with the vendor reporting the car to run and drive extremely well.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.
