- Original RHD example fitted with 2.0 litre engine mated to 5-speed manual transmission - Recent oil and filter change but would benefit from further fettling - Accompanied by Porsche Certificate of Authenticity The 912 was Porsche's entry model for the 911 range and initially substantially outsold its six-cylinder sibling. Production ran from 1965 to 1969, during which in excess of 32,000 were manufactured. The vast majority were Coupes, 5,598 of which were bodied by Karmann for Porsche during the 1968 model year. Enthusiastic 912 customers included the German autobahn police. This RHD example was purchased by the vendor in 2013 as a Cat D insurance write off which the vendor subsequently repaired with the replacement of the off side headlamp and front bumper. The vendor informs us the Porsche is fitted with fiberglass front and rear wings and 2.0 litre engine with 5 speed gearbox. Offered with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and recently having an oil and filter change the vendor currently rates the Porsche as follows: - Bodywork: 'Average' Engine: 'Good' Electrical Equipment: 'Average' Paintwork: 'Average' Gearbox: 'Good' Interior Trim: 'Average'

- 1 of just 2,215 left-hand drive US models made - Offered with both hard- and soft-top roofs - Current ownership since 2003 and MOT'd into September 2016 The Spider first broke cover at the 1961 Turin Salon, though production did not commence until 1966. The pretty two-seater, then known as the 'Duetto', is said to have been the last project with which 'Pinin' Farina was personally associated. Just one year later the model was immortalised by the Dustin Hoffman film 'The Graduate'. The chassis was based on that of the Giulia 105 and initial examples were powered by a 1570cc version of Alfa's sonorous four-cylinder twin-cam unit. In 1967, the Duetto was replaced by the 1750 (1779cc) Spider Veloce. Though the new version's looks were relatively unchanged, useful upgrades were made to the suspension, brakes, electrics, wheels and tyres. 1 of just 2,215 left-hand drive 1750 Spider Veloces supplied new to the USA, this particular example has been resident in the UK since 1990. Originally fitted with Spica fuel injection, its four-cylinder engine is now fed by twin dual-choke carburettors. As a US-spec car, 'MVU 981G' has never had headlamp covers and still sports side indicator repeaters. Entering the current ownership in 2003, the Alfa is offered for sale with hard- / soft-top roofs, V5C Registration Document and MOT certificate valid until September 2016.

Lot 21

- Former Porsche Cars (GB) Press Car and 58,000 recorded miles - 20 service stamps, last cambelt change @ 52,766 miles - Certificate of Authenticity, leather upholstery and MOT till April 2016 The S2 saw the light of day in 1989, by which time the normally aspirated engine had grown to 3.0-litres in capacity. A total of 4,000 Cabriolet variants were produced before the 944 model range was superseded by the 968 in 1991. This decidedly handsome example started life on Porsche's UK press fleet before being acquired by a Simon Jones of St Helier, Jersey. The comprehensive service record (20 stamps) confirms it remained on the island until at least 2006 before returning to the mainland. The Porsche is finished in the attractive combination of colour-coded Alpine White bodywork, Blue hood and Blue leather upholstery, and rides on 17-inch Turbo hollow-spoke alloy wheels. It boasts an extensive specification including: electric hood; factory tonneau; headlamp washers; electrically-operated sports seats, windows, and heated door mirrors; Porsche floor mats; central locking/immobiliser; and JVC radio/CD player. It is currently viewed by the vendor as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual gearbox, and 'good' interior trim. It is now being offered complete with warranted mileage of 58,000 (the service history confirms a cambelt change at 52,766), Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and MOT valid to April 10th 2016. A seemingly very pleasing proposition.

Lot 42

PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been informed that this lot comes with a factory-supplied, fully-tailored car cover and has had its rear window seal's drain channel silicone filled in accordance with Porsche's recommendation. It has also had the upper section of its rear wheel arches 'rolled' and been fitted with a factory-supplied battery cut-off switch to its front compartment.   - Based on a manual C2 and reputedly just 20kg heavier than a factory RSR - Genuine RS engine mounts, short-shift kit and Steve Wong custom chip etc. - All work completed within the last 1,000 miles or so using genuine or OEM parts This stunning-looking RSR Club Sport Evocation is based on a C2 993 model with manual transmission but minus conditioning - it is reputedly only 20kg heavier than a genuine RSR but with more power! This comes from the combination of a Steve Wong custom chip (98-100 octane fuel), Fabspeed RSR exhausts (with cats), RS downpipe, motorsport airbox, and BMC filter. Among the myriad of other mechanical upgrades are: fully adjustable H&R suspension, including front and rear anti-roll bars, rose-jointed rear drop links and full set-up (including corner weighting) by Centre of Gravity, Nuneaton; strut brace; genuine Porsche RS engine mounts; short-shift gearchange kit; replica 18in Speedline alloys shod with Pirelli N-rated tyres. Inside can be found: a genuine RS gear lever and gaiter; radio blanking panel; centre console bin; 964 RS steering wheel and column surround; RS knee roll; bolt-in half cage; Shroth six-point harnesses; replica motorsport seats; complete OEM bodykit. Accessories that have been retained include electric windows, headlamp wash and electric sunroof, while items deleted are rear wiper, engine sump cover (the latter will be supplied with the car) and lower dash. The above work was completed less than 1,000 miles ago using genuine parts wherever possible, and OEM ones when not. This ultra-desirable Porsche has done little mileage over recent years but was recently serviced and comes with full maintenance history to 92,775 miles (the odometer now displays c.95,000 miles) courtesy of Lancaster Porsche and Porsche Centre Colchester, plus specialists RSJ and Parr. Also accompanying 'K999 RSR' are: an unused spacesaver; compressor; tool kit; document wallet; two sets of keys and fobs; all MOTs since 1999 and one valid to March 2016. The vendor currently classes the bodywork, Black paintwork, Black cloth interior, 3.6-litre engine and six-speed gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order. A very exciting proposition.

Lot 45

Launched at the 1955 Frankfurt motorshow, the MG A featured a chassis penned by Roy Brocklehurst and power courtesy of the 1,489cc straight-four B Series engine from the MG Magnette Saloon. 'YSU 840' started life as a US export model and was first registered in the UK in 1990. A lefthand drive example to this day, it is presented with White bodywork complemented by Black interior trim, rides on wire wheels and boasts a luggage rack and leather-rimmed steering wheel. In recent times it has benefited from the installation of a Revotec electric fan, stainless steel exhaust, and H4 halogen headlamp conversion. Its current engineer keeper treated the MG to a mechanical overhaul, during which the brakes and suspension were attended to, and new tyres, water hoses, and rear light lenses fitted. The MG comes complete with V5C, fresh MOT although exempt and numerous invoices; many of which are from marque specialists such as Brown & Gammons and MGOC spares.

Three rare WW2 headlamp diffusers for use during the black out

Lot 2015

- Registered in Southern Ireland in 1993 - Fitted with four new cross-ply tyres - Accompanied by an extensive history file and original tools Further Info: The stylish Gerald Palmer-penned Wolseley 15/50 was produced from 1956 to 1958, during which 12,352 were manufactured. It was a close cousin of the MG Magnette with which it shared most but not all its body panels. The more up-market of the two Saloons, the Wolseley featured a polished walnut facia and door cappings, leather-covered seats and an illuminated radiator grille badge. Power came from a single carburettor version of the BMC `B' Series engine. This smartly-presented example is finished and trimmed in Light Grey complemented by a number of chrome period accessories including: badge bar, headlamp cowls, wing mirrors and exhaust trim. First UK registered in May 1958, `ZV 3608' has been domiciled in Eire since February 1993. Described by the vendor as being `in very good condition, on the button and driving well', it is now offered complete with new cross-ply tyres, the original tools and a pair of large history files.

Lot 2027

- One of just 54 examples built - Coachwork by H J Mulliner - Silver with black hide - Three previous owners - Believed genuine c.37,000 miles - Options include: factory air-con, rev counter, adjustable spot & fog lights, leather dash top, interior / exterior thermometer Further Info: By the late 1950s, Rolls-Royce's long-serving six-cylinder engine was no longer a match for the more contemporary powerplants of its rivals. With America being the company's most important export market, it was perhaps inevitable that the British firm would turn to the V8 units of such manufacturers as Cadillac and Chrysler for inspiration. The result was the all-alloy, eight-cylinder, 6.25 litre, 90 degree engine of V-configuration, that made its debut in 1959 below the imposing bonnets of the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2. The change in powerplant was very well received and even the related slogan coined by David Ogilvy's advertising agency - `At 60mph the loudest noise in this new Rolls-Royce comes from the electric clock' - became a classic in its own right. While the engine upgrade was the only significant difference between Cloud II/S2 and the Cloud I/S1 that preceded them, the Cloud III/S3 that came to market three years later carried a variety of further improvements. For example the engine was treated to larger carburettors, a new distributor and an increase in compression ratio, while a General Motors-derived four-speed automatic transmission became standard equipment. Internal changes included an increase in rear passenger space and a move to separate front seats, while the adoption of a lower radiator shell and a quad headlamp system endowed the model with a more contemporary look. Critics argued that drum brakes and a separate chassis and body were no longer fitting on a motorcar of this ilk, but that had little or no effect on the model's many admirers from home and abroad, who encouraged Rolls-Royce to continue production into 1966, at which point the line was finally supplanted by the monocoque Silver Shadow. By that stage no less than 2809 examples had been produced, 375 of which featured coachbuilt bodies. 54 of the 375 were commissioned from London-based H J Mulliner, 52 of which were clothed in four-door, six-light bodies to design number 2042. They are frequently referred to as `Flying Spur' models but, according to marque expert and author of the book `The Flying Spur', Bernard L King, Rolls-Royce themselves only used that moniker in connection with the equivalent Bentleys, so the Rolls-Royces are perhaps more accurately referred to as having Flying Spur-style coachwork by H J Mulliner. His take on the derivation of the Flying Spur name itself is equally interesting - evidently the crest of the Johnstone clan is a winged spur and it just so happened that the Managing Director of H J Mulliner from 1944 to 1960 was one Harry Talbot Johnstone. You can draw your own conclusions. The stunning sale car is one of the treasured 52 motorcars built to the above specification and is believed by Rolls-Royce circles to be the most original and lowest mileage example of this very rare model - it has had just three owners from new (two of whom apparently had an extensive collection of cars) and is understood to have driven just 37,300 miles to date. A number of interesting items of special equipment were factory-fitted, including: air conditioning, rev-counter, adjustable spot and fog lights, leather dash top and an interior/exterior thermometer. `JLM 204' is finished in Silver and trimmed in Black hide and is currently considered by the vendor to have `excellent' coachwork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and automatic transmission. One thing's for sure, standard Cloud IIIs of this quality are now exceedingly few and far between, while those with Flying Spur-style bodywork now rarely come to market. `JLM 204' therefore represents a unique and exciting opportunity for Rolls-Royce aficionados everywhere.

Registration : L807LSC Chassis Number : VV16968 Engine Number : VV18164 Odometer reading : 51,212 miles Estimate : £7,000 - £10,000 The Le Mans was Moto Guzzi's top sports bike in the 80s. The big bore version has enjoyed a fine and enviable reputation as a tried, trusted and proven motorcycle. The 948.8cc OHV V-twin four-valve per cylinder engine, with its longitudinally mounted crank and shaft drive is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a high-revving unit. The motorcycle offered for sale here has been restored over a five year period with excellent attention to detail and substantial financial investment resulting in this magnificent example. A brief description of the works included on this iconic classic is as follows; swing arm dismantled and parts renewed as necessary, front forks fitted with new seals, FAC of Italy air dampers and rear Koni shocks. Wheels refurbished and all bearings replaced, Bridgestone Battlax BT45R tyres fitted and brakes de-linked. New Brembo master cylinder, new hoses, disc carriers Zylan treated by Sandwell Sport of Towcester. Electrics rewired with Electrix generator, regulator/rectifier fitted, Lucas ignition and single wasted spark coils and an Odyssey extreme battery completes the electrical system. Geoff Baines of Baines Racing Silverstone, set up the engine with carburettors mounted on straight, purpose made inlets tracts. The sump is Zylan treated by Sandwell sport and the distributor cap has been specially CNC-machined in aluminium. The exhaust system has wrapped reverse cone megaphones and the alloy tank and 'dustbin alloy fairing' were both fabricated by a retired F1 mechanic paying homage to the earlier Moto Guzzi 500 V8 racer that astonished everyone in the late 1950's. The fairing mounts are of the F1 style quick-release fastener type making the removal of the fairing very quick and easy. The fairing incorporates the indicators plus an ingenious design utilising a projector headlamp. This Moto Guzzi Le Mans Mk. IV is a limited edition (83/100) and is a stunning bike that not only offers an attractive investment but would make a fantastic showpiece in any corporate reception area. 

Lot 372

Registration : 318 SNO Chassis Number : 44112 Engine Number : 18016 Odometer reading : 78,483 miles Estimate : £2,500 - £4,000 The Bullet name was first given to Royal Enfield's sporting singles as far back as 1933 and post WWII, after the immediate calls for basic transport had been met, the desire for new sports models was apparent. In 1948 Royal Enfield debuted their new 350cc Bullet in the 1948 Colmore Cup Trial, causing a sensation as the bikes were fitted with swinging arm rear suspension, then unheard of for trials use. While unsuccessful on its initial appearance, the new model soon showed its form and Bullet mounted riders won gold medals later that year in the International Six Days Trial and were part of the winning British Trophy team. The Bullet followed Royal Enfield design conventions with its 'floating bush' big end and dry sump oil tank contained within the crankcase, intended to warm the oil more quickly than possible with a separate, externally mounted oil tank. Engine dimensions of 70mm x 90mm were the same as the cooking, all-iron Model G but with an aluminium alloy head fitted and an increase in compression ratio to 6.5:1 to give a power output of 18bhp at 5,750rpm. The Albion gearbox was mounted flush to the engine, rather than in conventional plates, to create a semi- unit construction with fixed chain centres and a new telescopic front fork of Royal Enfield's own design was fitted to create a most attractive and versatile motorcycle, as scrambles, trials and road racing versions were marketed alongside the standard road going Bullets. In 1953 a 500cc version joined the range. The bore size was increased to 84mm but the compression ratio lowered to 6.2:1 to give a useful increase in power output to 25bhp at 5,250rpm. Surprisingly the 500cc version sold in quite small numbers and is consequently a rare machine today. 1954 brought a major styling change with the introduction of the 'casquette', a die-cast alloy cowl which enclosed the top of the forks and also the headlamp and instruments while incorporating a small pilot light on each side. For 1955 dual front brakes were fitted within a full width hub and in 1956 a new all-welded frame was introduced which no longer featured a cradle under the engine. The tooling for the old type frame was shipped out to Madras, where Enfield had set up a subsidiary to produce the 350cc Bullet under licence which remained largely unchanged until relatively recently. More changes came in 1959 with the adoption of small seventeen inch wheels for the 350 in common with the new 250cc Crusader and in increase in power output to 20bhp thanks to an increase in compression ratio, a larger carburettor and new cams with higher lift. The 500 received a new large finned cylinder head which became known as the 'Big Head' but there were few changes thereafter until the Bullet was phased out in 1962, with the era of the sporting single coming to an end. This late type 1960 Bullet was fully restored from a basket case by a retired panel beater and had two further owners before being acquired by the current vendor. The Royal Enfield comes with a current V5C registration certificate and a VMCC dating certificate and is described as being ten out of ten by the vendor, who also informs us that the original Essex registration number was successfully re-issued following the restoration. The superbly presented Bullet offered here is an ideal machine with which to enjoy club events and will no doubt reward the new owner with many miles of enjoyable motorcycling. 

Lot 378

Registration : OAS 340 Chassis Number : 1370100 Engine Number : DU23114W Odometer reading : 1,556 miles Estimate : £5,500 - £6,000 The origins of the Triton; the marriage of a Norton "Featherbed" frame and a Triumph twin cylinder motor, go back to the mid 1950s and the popularity of 500cc Formula III car racing, for which the Norton "Double Knocker" Manx engine was essential to be competitive. However, Norton Motors' refusal to supply engines on their own led to a number of Manx Nortons being stripped of their engines and the readily available Triumph twin then being inserted to create the first Tritons. Subsequently, many more Tritons have been assembled utilising standard Norton "Featherbed" frames and a variety of Triumph power units. This 1958 dated Triton was constructed in 1979 and combines the wideline "Featherbed" frame from a Norton Model 50 with a unit construction Triumph T120 Bonneville engine. This Triton, like all Tritons, has been specifically made to the owner's specification and therefore, benefits from a number of performance enhancing modifications. In this instance, the engine has been treated to a Morgo 750cc conversion, with Boyer electronic ignition and the electrics upgraded to 12 volts with a halogen headlamp. The cycle parts have been upgraded with a Dresda swinging arm and a twin leading shoe front brake. The wheels feature aluminium alloy rims and the vendor will be fitting new tyres prior to the sale. A smart aluminium fuel tank and racing seat complete the look of this most attractive machine. This Triton comes from long term ownership and has been used sparingly over the last several years with it being kept in the vendor's front hall. It comes with a current V5 and the vendor informs us that a fresh MoT will be obtained prior to sale. There is also a full MoT history with the bike and a Dating Certificate from Roy Bacon. The Triton is therefore ready for a new owner to enjoy the fine handling and performance for which Tritons are renowned. 

Lot 243

Registration : X191HOU Chassis Number : WDB4632481X124636 Engine Number : 11398260024147 Estimate : £26,000 - £34,000 *Library picture* The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagon, short for Geländewagen, (or cross-country vehicle) uses two fully locking differentials and represents one of the few vehicles to have such a feature. The G-class was developed as a military vehicle from a suggestion by the Shah of Iran and offered as a civilian version in 1979. The first major refinements were introduced in 1981, including an automatic transmission, air conditioning, an auxiliary fuel tank, protective headlamp grilles and a cable winch. Unsurprisingly, this enormously competent four-wheel drive has, like a number of other Mercedes-Benz vehicles, come under the infinite scrutiny of AMG. Around the world, these three distinctive letters embody automotive high performance, exclusivity and dynamic driving pleasure but it is two words that best describes the core elements of the AMG brand, 'Driving Performance'. Mercedes-AMG specialises in unique, high-performance vehicles; its sporty saloons, SUVs, coupés, cabriolets, roadsters and specially built one-off models constitute a product portfolio which meets its customers' every wish. Brabus take a G-Wagon to the next level in terms of style and performance. It almost defies logic that a relatively basic shaped vehicle can be propelled with such speed as a G55 Brabus. The performance from the engine is complimented by a high-tech and reliable drive-train system. This example has been wrapped in matt black with a black interior and alcantara dashboard. The ergonomics of a G-Wagon offer a very comfortable driving experience and whether driving in town or on the open road. This lefthand drive Mercedes-Benz is on offer at a fraction of the cost of a new vehicle.  

Lot 284

Registration : H158GKR Chassis Number : WDB46033227067092 Engine Number : 61793120019568 Odometer reading : 110,900 miles Estimate : £9,000 - £12,000 The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagon, short for Geländewagen, (cross-country vehicle) is characterised by its boxy styling and body-on-frame construction. It uses three fully locking differentials, one of the few vehicles to have such a feature. The G-Class is still in production and is one of the longest produced Mercedes-Benz in Daimler's history with a span of 32 years. It was developed as a military vehicle from a suggestion by the Shah of Iran and offered as a civilian version in 1979. The first major refinements were introduced in 1981, including an automatic transmission, air conditioning, an auxiliary fuel tank, protective headlamp grills and a cable winch. Fuel injection became available in 1982 when the 230GE was introduced in Turin, along with more comfortable and supportive front seats, auxiliary heating, wider tyres and fender flares. For 1985, differential locks, central door locking and a tachometer become standard. This Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon was first registered on 6th December 1990 and has been very well cared for throughout its 25 years on the road. The 2,998cc diesel engine is a very robust unit and we are advised she drives exceedingly well. The grey coachwork is in good order and the beige checked interior is virtually unmarked. The car has been serviced recently and a new exhaust system fitted. Supplied with a V5 registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 17th February 2016, given the modest estimate, this G-Wagon certainly offers excellent value for money.
