A fine example of the ultimate Impreza, number #100 of the 400 limited examples manufactured for the Japanese domestic market and offered from long-term private ownership.Built to celebrate both the marque's 40th anniversary and its third straight WRC manufacturers' title, the 22B STi was billed as the production version of Subaru's already-iconic two-door World Rally Car. With its beefy front and rear arches increasing width by 80mm, a high-rise rear spoiler and the unique EJ22 engine, the 22B was as close to Colin McRae's rally car as any mortal was ever going to get. It wasn't so much a homologation special but more of a road-going replica.Data suggests that a total of 426 cars were manufactured. Three cars, designated #000, were presented to Colin McRae, Nicky Grist and David Lapworth, there was no number 13, and 24 cars were manufactured for issue outside of Japan. Of these 24, 16 were delivered to the UK and the other eight went to Subaru concessions throughout the world.Each 22B was hand-built starting with a lightweight 2-door WRX bodyshell with the front and rear arches removed and replaced with wide arches to facilitate the increased track (40mm upfront and 80mm at the rear). The cubic capacity was increased to 2.2-litres from 2.0-litres and, when combined with custom fuel rails, lightweight forged pistons and a large IHI VF23 roller-bearing turbo, an additional 70bhp and huge mid-range torque at 3,000rpm resulted. The package is neatly finished off with the same adjustable rear spoiler as the WRC car enabling downforce to be varied on twisty tarmac events.Offered here at the 2023 Race Retro International Historic Motorsport Show is #100 of the 400 limited examples manufactured for the Japanese domestic market. On offer from long-term ownership, a clean HPI report shows that this example was imported in 2002 with our vendor taking ownership of the rare Subaru in 2004. It's presented in lovely overall condition with the Sonic Blue paintwork retaining a deep gloss and the interior also presents very nicely. There are a few period modifications such as the performance exhaust and uprated brakes with original items forming part of the sale (as seen in the images) along with a nice set of genuine OZ Magnesium wheels also in gold.Accompanied by a history file which includes the current V5C registration papers ready for transfer of ownership or export, invoices for parts and maintenance over the years, MOT Certificates, original parts (as seen in our professional images) and the Cherished Registration Number, R22 BDP, which will also form part of the sale.These iconic modern classics are becoming increasingly difficult to source, especially in such excellent order. Enthusiasts across the globe are keen to make sure a 22B STi features in their collection and rightly so as this golden era of rallying will never be repeated.SpecificationMake: SUBARUModel: IMPREZA 22BYear: 1998Chassis Number: GC8069492Registration Number: R22 BDPTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 44322 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black/BlueClick here for more details and images
One of 62 Park Ward-bodied right-hand drive Drophead Coupés from long-term ownership.Introduced in late 1959, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 appeared externally unchanged from their Silver Cloud and S-Type predecessors, although their performance was considerably enhanced by the arrival of the new 6,230cc aluminium-alloy V8 engine. There were few significant changes to the running gear, although power-assisted steering was now standard and the manual gearbox had been dropped, Rolls-Royce's own 4-speed automatic transmission being the sole offering. The Continental version of the Bentley remained, as ever, exclusively a coachbuilt car. The firms of H J Mulliner, Park Ward and James Young all offered bodies on the Continental S2 chassis, which differed from the standard version by virtue of its four-leading-shoe front brakes, shorter radiator and, in later cars, higher gearing. James Young would soon cease coachbuilding, leaving only Rolls-Royce-owned Mulliner and Park Ward to carry on a noble tradition, with Park Ward building the S2 Continental Drophead Coupés and Mulliner the saloons.The history file documents lots of lavished attention on this venerable Bentley in later years, however its very early history is, as yet, unknown. In the file, there is an early MOT Certificate from April 1978, and many invoices addressed to a Mr Warriner of Kent by James Young of Bromley in Kent. Subsequently, it would appear the car’s owner relocated, as there is an invoice for an almost entire strip down by a garage in Newtown, Powys dated 1980 but nothing more until 1984, when the photographic file shows it in a stripped condition located in Shropshire, presumably lost to the sands of time or hiding in a barn somewhere.Fortunately, it was discovered by its next owner, Stewart John, around this time. He was the Director of Engineering for the Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific Airlines and was on holiday in the UK with one eye open for a project and this S2 was certainly that. The Bentley was duly acquired and exported on 11th September 1984, bearing the plate 26 HYW, and there are a number of photographs in the file showing the car being loaded here and unloaded in Hong Kong. Additionally, within the file are lots of supporting invoices showing the acquisition of parts and materials, flywheels, hood parts, hooding, West German Leather etc., all sent to an address in the city district of HK. Associated Engineering Limited were tasked with carrying out a full restoration and they worked on the car over a period of 18 months during 1985 and 1986, supported by correspondence and invoices in the file. The results were pretty impressive, and there is evidence that when it was completed, it won the Concours d’Elegance at one of HK’s major classic car shows.On a separate note, there is a letter to the Department of Transport by Mr John, asking that the registration of this car and another in his ownership, have their numbers retained on the basis that he intends to return both cars to the UK at some point in the future.At this point in the story, 26 HWY was acquired by our late vendor, who lived in Hong Kong in December 1993, at a price of £36,500, with its insured value at the time being $400,000 HK. It had been seven years since the restoration so he lavished some time and money on the car during its last eighteen months in Hong Kong, before returning, via Australia, with the Bentley to the UK in October 1995. Since being back here, the car has been attended to by recognised Rolls and Bentley specialists, with many invoices showing standard MOT and service work as well as recent expenditure on minor cosmetic paintwork, re-Connollised leather and minor detailing at a cost of over £12,000 in 2017 and 2018. Indeed, the MOT history shows the car having been tested every year since 2006 until its most recent expiry in 2021, with the mileage increasing by only a few miles each time.Ready for a sympathetic recommissioning, we believe that 26 HWY has been parked for around two years in recent times and, whilst it has had a new battery fitted and starts first time, it would seem sensible that a new owner would have the car properly inspected and prepared ready for the summer, when in its distinctive hue and with its glamorous, globe-trotting back-story, it will undoubtedly be welcomed at many garden parties, gatherings, club events and more.As one of very few Convertibles on the market currently and with many standard Coupés available at well over £100,000, our vendor has rightly chosen to bring this remarkable car to the market at auction to allow the world to decide just how special this car is.SpecificationMake: BENTLEYModel: S2 CONTINENTALYear: 1961Chassis Number: BC25CZRegistration Number: 26 HYWTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: P3961Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Meanwhile the three wings held up by the elephant’s trunk rotate at speed. He is a versatile elephant, which is what circuses want. The base is decorated with a double frieze of a procession of minstrels, elephants, dromedaries and horses. Speedway Auto Racer: The clockwork is wound by lever. The speedway tilts in a circular motion, propelling the cars round the track. There are frequent crashes as cars career round and are clearly driven by spectacularly bad drivers, but the design is ingenious. The drum is printed with a panoramic picture of crowds in stands.Provenance: Performing Elephant: Purchased, Hawkin & Co., Norfolk, March 1996.Speedway Auto Racer: Purchased, Selfridges, London, May 2003.Roseberys do not guarantee the working order of any automata or toy.
