  1972 Morris Mini 850 owned by World Champion Boxer ’Prince' Naseem Hamed Transmission: manualMileage:31500 Fully restored exampleOffered with a new MoT test certificateOwned by former World Champion Boxer ’Prince' Naseem Hamed The history of this revolutionary motorcar is well known and its impact socially, culturally and mechanically is well documented. The Swinging Sixties, The Beatles, Twiggy and the Mini are inexorably combined to represent an era that is remembered with great fondness by many people. The production version of the Mini was demonstrated to the press in April 1959 and by August several thousand cars had been produced ready for the first sales. The Mini was officially announced to the public on 26th August 1959. The first example, a Morris Mini-Minor with the registration 621 AOK, is on display at the Heritage Motor Centre in Warwickshire. Another early example from 1959 is on display at the National Motor Museum in Hampshire. International Hall of Fame boxer ‘Prince’ Naseem Hamed competed from 1992 to 2002 and is ranked as the third best British featherweight boxer of all time by BoxRec. He held multiple world championships at featherweight, including the WBO title from 1995 to 2000, the IBF title in 1997, and the WBC title from 1999 to 2000. He also reigned as lineal champion from 1998 to 2001, IBO champion from 2002 to 2003, and held the European bantamweight title from 1994 to 1995. Hamed was known for his unconventional boxing antics and spectacular ring entrances which included entering the ring on a flying carpet, a lift and a palanquin, as well as re-enacting the video of Michael Jackson's Thriller, and wearing a Halloween mask. He was also known for his front somersault over the top rope into the ring, his highly athletic and hard-hitting southpaw boxing style, and formidable one-punch knockout power; having finished his career with a knockout-to-win ratio of 84% winning 31 by knockout, 5 by decision and just 1 loss. This delightful and fully restored Morris Mini 850 is a rare automatic example. Presented in Teal Blue with a Snowberry White roof and retrimmed interior, this example boasts an upgraded period radio. Described as a full nut and bolt restored example, the car was purchased from an owner who had, in his spare time, restored the car over many years. Receipts for parts and the full respray can be found in the history file accompanied by a British Mini Club valuation certificate dated 6th April 2017 with a value of £7500, original service book, handbooks and MoT test certificates. Offered with an MoT test certificate valid until February 2022, this is an ideal opportunity to own a fabulous British motoring icon owned by a famous British sporting icon.

2001 Aston Martin Vanquish Transmission: paddleMileage:14481An entirely new Aston Martin for the 21st Century, the Vanquish debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2001, with deliveries commencing a few months later. The Vanquish took over from the Vantage V8 with the Newport Pagnell factory undergoing an extensive multi-million pound refurbishment to accommodate it, gaining a new assembly line, paint shop, rolling road and water test facility. Styled by Ian Callum, the man responsible for the DB7, the Vanquish was developed with assistance from Aston Martin’s parent company Ford using constructional techniques more advanced than those of any current road car of that time. The 6.0 litre, 48 valve, V12 engine, the first of its type for Aston Martin, developed 460bhp at 6,800rpm, 400lb/ft of torque available at 5,500 revs. The state-of-the-art electronic engine management system provided ‘drive by wire’ throttle control and was linked to the six-speed manual gearbox’s electro-hydraulic change mechanism, a first for a production car. The gearchange was controlled by F1-style paddles and could be operated in either of two modes, fully manual or computer controlled automatic, with a ‘sport’ setting available on both. It was an instant sales success and its choice as transport for James Bond only added to the appeal.This truly stunning Aston Martin Vanquish 2+2 has only covered 14,500 miles and when new was supplied with the Aston Martin Works walnut pack, premium audio system and electric heated seats. Regularly serviced with twelve services listed, the last carried out at 14,025 miles, this car has had the Vanquish S clutch upgrade fitted. Finished in Ferrari Grigio Titanio silver with charcoal and Tailor Grey interior, this lovely Aston Martin Vanquish is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in October 2021, the original aluminium book pack, the fire extinguisher, first aid kit, torch, tyre pressure gauge, quick guide and original note pad. Ever since the introduction DB9 Aston Martin have built the reputation of building the ultimate Gran Turismo cars, a combination of high performance with ultimate luxury and the Vanquish continued with this lifestyle choice.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

UK-supplied, 5-speed 911 Turbo Cabriolet - ready for the Spring!UK-supplied and right hand driveG50 5-speed gearboxPrivate vendor who has owned the car for seven yearsSignificant recent work and expenditureVery rare but totally useableContinuous history supporting the mileage of 57,888First introduced in 1975, the 930 Turbo version of the amazing Porsche 911 evolved every few years to maintain its position as one of the fastest and most desirable sports cars of its time. By 1989, the final versions were offering 330bhp, which when coupled with the new G50 5-speed gearbox, propelled the car up to a top speed of 162mph and a 0-60 was covered in just 4.9 seconds. Porsche enthusiasts often consider the 930 of 1989 to be the ultimate incarnation, as it was the only year that this model was fitted with the 5-speed G50 gearbox which offered ratios better suited to the Turbo's power delivery, and 1989 was the last year of production of the iconic which makes it just that bit 'special' .This particular, privately owned, car was acquired by our vendor in 2013 since which time it has covered just 2,200 miles. The total mileage of 57,888 is confirmed and backed up by previous MOT Certificates in the comprehensive history file which accompanies the car.It was supplied new as a UK C16 car through Maltin Porsche of Henley on Thames on the first of August 1989 to a Mr John Glashan from Liverpool, but was then registered to a Mr John Rix of Bridgend very shortly afterwards. The original maintenance/service book is very well stamped throughout and reflects a full service history with main dealers and recognised specialist dealers. In addition to the full original book pack there are many invoices on file, one of which confirms an engine rebuild with new Porsche original pistons and liners in 2004 at 43,000 miles, costing £7,568 at the time.More recently the car has returned from MLR Independent Porsche Specialists where work has included stripping out the interior and fitting new carpets as well as retrimming the interior. Additionally, the roof has also been replaced, fitted with new motors and realigned and at the same time the engine was removed for a service and various seals and gaskets replaced. The total expenditure in 2021 on these various items adds up to over £4,500 and the detailed invoices are on file.Available now - with a fresh MOT and all outstanding work completed - and at an attractive guide, this is a great car with which to enjoy the forthcoming Spring and Summer weather as we emerge from lock-down and start to enjoy using our classics once again with a guaranteed smile-a-mile in this final evolution of the legendary 930 Turbo.  Our vendor is currently awaiting the V5c from DVLA following a cherished plate transfer.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 TURBO CABRIOLETYear: 1989Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ93ZKS020217Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 67K00714 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 58000 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Possibly the best 924 S ‘Le Mans’ Edition available anywhere; ‘Porsche Restored’.1 of 37 RHD UK-market cars in Alpine White; effectively ‘Club Sport’ editions aimed at enthusiasts to celebrate the culmination of the 924-production runUtilises the 165bhp M44 2.5-litre engine and M030 Sports suspension‘Porsche Restored’ in 2016; bare-metal renewal and mechanically refurbishedExtensive history file, original service booklet and book packRare and desirable transaxle modelThe Porsche 924 S ‘Le Mans’ edition of 1988 (not to be confused with the earlier 1980 version, which had just cosmetic additions) is a very special and rare model of Porsche’s ‘junior’ transaxle sports car, built to celebrate Porsche's 12th outright win at Le Mans.Coined the 924S SE in the US and ‘Le Mans’ for other markets, these were effectively ‘Club Sport’ editions aimed at real Porsche enthusiasts to celebrate the culmination of the 924-production run. Fittingly, arguably the best 924 model, the 924S, was the version on which the Le Mans limited-edition model was based; importantly, Porsche utilised the more powerful and smooth 165bhp 2.5-litre M44 alloy inline-four engine from the ‘big brother’ 944.The Le Mans edition, as a final 924S ‘run-out’ model, in RHD for the UK-market totalled just 74 examples (37 in Alpine White and 37 in Black paintwork) with ‘Le Mans’ logos and stripes on their flanks. Officially known at Porsche as the ‘Sportliches Sondermodell’ (loosely translated as Sporting Special Model) their options package code in the UK is M755. The 74 UK-market M755 cars came with the 165bhp engine (the ‘proper’ full power 944 engine) married to a 5-speed gearbox, plus an electric tilt/removable sunroof fitted as standard. Also specified with M030 sport suspension, which has stiffer springs and lowered the standard car by 10mm, uprated anti-roll bars, ‘Teledial’ cast alloy wheels (6J x 15s at the front and 7J x 15s at the rear) which feature special colour detailing, colour-coded side protection strips and rear mud guards. Inside, all the cars featured cloth-upholstered ‘Turbo’ sports seats, with the cloth door panels also colour-coded, plus a 360mm sport steering wheel. The Alpine White cars came with Black Leatherette interior finish, Ochre Flannel seats and black carpet.Unsurprisingly, Porsche guru Peter Morgan’s 924 buyers’ guide says that the limited edition ‘Le Mans’ car is “the 924 S to have.”The car presented here is a C16/M755 1988 Porsche 924 S ‘Le Mans’ in Alpine White (P1P1), and is one of those 37 rarefied examples. Not only this, but it has also been the subject of a Porsche AG restoration.Porsche GB runs an annual, national Classic Restoration Competition open to its Official Centres and their esteemed automotive partners. Porsche Centre Swindon entered the 2016 competition celebrating 40 years of front-engined cars and chose this car. Sourcing the right car was obviously important, and this 924 S Le Mans came with an impeccable history (its original Porsche service booklet shows 18 service stamps, many of which with Porsche Centres, right back to its supplying dealership, Lancaster Porsche Colchester), including many invoices, old MOT Certificates and just two previous owners.Like any car that is almost 30 years old, when Porsche Swindon fully examined this 924, it was obvious there were some areas in need of a thorough renewal. The car was completed stripped back to the bare shell, where the inner and outer sills were professionally restored and the whole structure meticulously readied for a full repaint (specialist technician Stefan Walecki carried out this work). Likewise, the running gear was fully refurbished, wherever possible trying to retain original parts. Some suspension and brake components had to be replaced, new brake and fuel lines installed, plus new bushes and new Pirelli tyres fitted. The interior was all cleaned and ready for refitting and a repair made to the dashboard (a new dashboard was not available, even to Porsche!). The engine had a new cam, balance belts with associated tension rollers and pulleys fitted. A complete rebuild was followed by a comprehensive renewal service.The team used all their in-house mechanical know-how and outsourced other work to numerous approved partners, including the bodywork to 'Dick Lovett Spraymaster', who, together with Porsche, invested hundreds of hours of highly skilled time into the car, fitting hundreds of new parts.This painstakingly restored 924 S Le Mans is the result, and it was featured in special commemorative brochure produced by Porsche Swindon showing all the work they carried out. It is also accompanied by all its previous history, and a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. The car was purchased by our vendor, a real marque enthusiast, from Porsche Centre Swindon in June 2020 and he has fully enjoyed the car as part of his carefully chosen collection, but sadly must now part ways with it.This is now a remarkable car, all mechanically renewed and finished by its maker - a real one-off and not to be missed!(N.B. the registration number of E6 RPR will not come with the car, it will revert to WDZ 2662) SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 924 S LE MANSYear: 1988Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ92ZJN400443Engine Number: 46J01619 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 122543 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey cloth Click here for more details and images

Incredible condition, a fabulous colour and celebrity provenance – a very special Series 1.Formerly registered to highly respected car collector and enthusiast Nick Mason, CBE of Pink FloydCurrent seller asked Lanzante to fully restore the car to be the best Elise available anywhere£15k plus was spent on the restoration.  Superbly finished in Gunmetal Grey.The front light mould is from a 1997 Elise GT1 Le Mans clam shell (original with the car) Factory hardtop, Lotus Sport Koni dampers, adjustable roll bar and its original (MMC) brake discs Showing just over 27,000 miles. Fresh MOT valid until 23/02/2022Fabulous paint, incredible condition and celebrity provenance – a very special little LotusPurity is a fragile and vulnerable thing and in August 1996, the revolutionary new Lotus Elise seemed to ooze purity from every extruded anodised aluminium and epoxy resin crevice, with nothing superfluous subtracting from the essence of this truly minimalist, focused little sports car. Although 'beautiful to behold' it certainly was, the time-honoured relationship between 'form and function' was clearly evident in the way it went and handled with its lightweight chassis-tub at 731kg failing to daunt the enthusiasm of the mid-mounted, 1.8-litre K-series engine, and its 118bhp was enough for a 0-60mph time in the low sixes allied to decent torque in the higher ratios. Clothed in two-piece 'clamshell' fibreglass bodywork, the featherweight two-door also featured all round double-wishbone, independent coil-over suspension, rack and pinion steering, four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, and a five-speed gearbox. Designer Julian Thomson and engineer Richard Rackham were keen to create a car with something of a motorcycle’s feel, and they undoubtedly succeeded, as is evident as much in the aluminium-and-rubber interior and neat little Stack instrument panel, as in the car's dynamic intimacy with the road, the wind, and the weather. The Elise was a reaction to the corpulent world of leather, luxury, and levers becoming increasingly evident in Lotus road cars, and was an attempt to recreate Colin Chapman’s early principles before he abandoned them in a move upmarket.The early cars were followed in 2002 by the Series 2 but the simpler, more demure Series 1 still defines the breed. Pretty as these early cars are, our vendor decided to go a little bit further in order for this car to look just as he wanted.  Having acquired the Lotus from Nick Mason's family, he decided later on to get marque specialists, Lanzante, to fully restore the Elise to his exacting standards with some subtle modifications.The seller informs us that in excess of £15,000 was spent on ensuring this particular Elise is one of the very best examples available to buy anywhere. Originally yellow, it has now been superbly finished in an amazing shade of Gunmetal Grey and this particular hue takes the car to another dimension. The front light mould is from a 1997 Elise GT1 Le Mans clam shell and it's worth mentioning that the car is fitted with a factory hardtop, Lotus Sport Koni dampers, an adjustable roll bar and still retains its original composite (MMC) brake discs.This little Lotus really needs to be seen to be believed so we encourage people to book a virtual viewing or to send a specialist to inspect on their behalf as soon as possible. Showing just over 27,000 miles and with a fresh MOT valid until 23rd February 2022, this amazing bespoke Elise has had more money spent on it recently than today's guide price, and combined with celebrity 'petrol-head' provenance, it represents a very attractive opportunity. SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ELISE S1Year: 1998Chassis Number: SCCGA111XWHC33582Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 18K4FJ31699845Make: Click here for more details and images

The rarest and most collectable 695 Biposto model; just 283 miles from new.Considered the ‘Unicorn’ of modern Abarth Biposto models, this is Number 11 of just 99 examples worldwideNot to be mistaken for the regular Ferrari Tributo of 2011, the Rosso Officine models were special Ferrari dealership ‘Service Car’ editions from 2015Based on the 190bhp Biposto Abarth, these flagship models came with a strict ‘Not to be sold’ clause for 6 months and were only available in Ferrari Rosso OfficinaJust 283 miles from new, Abarth service history, simply immaculate and collector-qualityBilled quite simply as ‘The Smallest Supercar’, Abarth’s 695 Biposto certainly lives up to its gently boastful soubriquet being the fastest road-going model the company has yet produced. The brief Abarth S.p.A. set themselves was a simple one: screw a numberplate to the one-make race-series 695 Assetto Corse track car and provide a burgeoning customer base, with – as Carlo Abarth himself put it – ‘Sunday on the track and Monday in the office.’Abarth focused on the two key goals of weight reduction and engine performance. Out went the rear seats, air-conditioning, audio system, door cards, posh headlamps, fog lights et al. In came a Poggipolini tubular titanium roll-cage, cargo nets, 695 Biposto-specific Sabelt seats, Brembo brakes, 18in OZ alloys with bespoke 215/35 Goodyears, Extreme Shox adjustable shock absorbers, an Akrapovic exhaust system, a wider track and a 1.4-litre turbo powerplant lifted pretty much piecemeal from a Formula 4 single-seater.The Garrett turbocharged 1368cc unit spits out a feisty 187bhp at 5500rpm (the company claiming a 139hp-per-litre ‘record for this category’) and 184lb ft of torque at 3000rpm, dropping 0-62mph acceleration one tenth below the targeted 6.0 second mark and offering a top speed of 143 mph.The car presented here is a 2016 Abarth 695 Biposto ‘Rosso Officine’, Chassis Number 11 of 99, and is not to be mistaken for the regular Ferrari Tributo of 2011, the Rosso Officine models being special Ferrari dealership ‘Service Car’ editions of 2015. Based on the 190bhp Biposto Abarth, these flag-ship models came with a strict ‘not to be sold’ clause for 6 months and were only available in Rosso Red paintwork. This car was supplied new via Graypaul Fiat/Ferrari of Nottingham and is today still accompanied by two keys, complete owners book-pack, Authenticity Certificate, full unused bodywork sticker-kit, and its Abarth emergency/breakdown pack.Considered the rarest and most covetable of the Biposto range, this car is in ‘as new’ condition, having covered a minuscule 283 miles from new. With its sticker-kit of stripes not applied (but supplied with it) this really is a mini-Ferrari and ripe for any Italian car enthusiast or collector. A very hard to find model as most are sitting amongst Ferrari collections.From howmanymade.co.uk website: “It is known 10 Rosso Officine examples were available in Japan, possibly 30 examples went to Italy, possibly 10 examples to Germany and possibly 8 examples to Switzerland. Just 2 examples were sold and delivered to Australia. Car #1 was an Italian car, now living in Manila, Philippines. And #99 is a UK car.”When they were deemed ready for sale, Rosso Officine models sold for around £45,000 in the UK, marking them out as the pinnacle of Bipostos. With an attractive guide price and from a private car collection, where it was serviced (Abarth) and stored to the highest standards, this is a very desirable mini-exotic. SpecificationMake: ABARTHModel: 695 BIPOSTO ROSSO OFFICINEYear: 2016Chassis Number: ZFA3120000J468238Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 2015570 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 283 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Biposto/CarbonClick here for more details and images
