2004 Ferrari 360 Spider F1- Supplied new via Cornes of Tokyo to a Jersey resident with international interests- Converted to UK specification by Meridien Modena and just 16,800 recorded miles- Last major service by Grimaldi Engineering in November 2016 and bespoke interiorIntroduced in 1999, the 360 featured an entirely new space frame chassis which was 40% stiffer and 28% lighter than that of its F355 predecessor. Powered by a 3.6-litre V8 coupled to either manual or F1 electrohydraulic manual transmission, the 360's lighter weight improved the 0-60 mph dash to just 4.2 seconds with a nominal top speed of 189mph. According to its accompanying FIRES printout (Ferrari Intellectual Reading Exchange System), this particular RHD example was built to special order with a Ferrari wing shield, Dark Blue hood, colour-coded steering wheel / dashboard / windscreen pillars / rollover bars, Red highlight stitching (which even extends to the sun visors), Red piped electrically operated seats, front / rear Challenge grilles and Red callipers. Finished in Grigio Alloy with Carta da Zucchero upholstery and Nuovo Rosso carpets, it was supplied new by Cornes & Co Ltd of Tokyo to Alan Smith on 30th June 2004. A Jersey resident with Japanese business interests, Mr Smith had the Spider shipped home a few months later and converted to full UK specification at 660 miles by main dealer Meridien Modena of Lyndhurst, Hampshire. Costing £6,652.26 and carried out between November 2004 and March 2005, work included the installation of a GB dash unit and new front bumper assembly with integral headlamp wash system. Becoming the two-seater's first registered UK keeper on October 17th 2013, Meriden Modena sold it to the vendor the following July having carried out a full belt service at 14,306 miles. Prompted to send 'HL04 ZBD' to Lancaster Ferrari of Colchester by a faulty fuel filler valve, the seller has since entrusted its maintenance to marque specialist Grimaldi Engineering. Last treated to a major service at 16,642 miles in November 2016, this notably handsome 360 F1 Spider is rated by the vendor as 'very good' (bodywork, paintwork, interior trim) or 'excellent' (engine, F1 transmission, electrical equipment) and comes complete with a 'no advisories' MOT certificate valid until June 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2- UK supplied RHD example with 92,000 recorded miles- Recently been bought out of long term storage- Small amount of re-commissioning before returning to the road.The E-Type's Malcolm Sayer-penned lines are thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motor car. Indeed, only a few years ago the Daily Telegraph ranked the E-Type top in a pole of the '100 most beautiful cars of all time'. The E-Type, or XK-E as it was known in the USA, made its debut at the 1961 Geneva Salon where its unique combination of grace and pace stole the show. The Series 2 models introduced in 1969 are distinguished by their lack of headlamp covers, enlarged front air intake, repositioned front indicators and tail lights, wrap-around rear bumper, twin-electric fans, uprated brakes and refashioned facia and seats. Finished in red with a beige interior this UK supplied RHD example has recently been bought out of long term storage from its previous keeper who had owned the Jaguar since 2004. Mated to automatic transmission this 2+2 example will require a small amount of re-commissioning before returning to the road.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1966 Humber Imperial Registration Number: FVN 660D Date Of First Registration: 09/03/1966 Vin Number: B884400074BWHSO Engine Number: B884400074BWHSO Mot Expiry: No Current Mot V5C Present Listing: 3 Former Keepers Current Mileage Shown: 44,743 miles 2965 CC Green The Humber Super Snipe was built in Britain between 1938 and 1967. In 1964 the Rootes group revived the Humber Imperial name for its top of the range Humber Super Snipe. The car had vinyl clad roof and automatic transmission fitted as standard along with a luxuriously appointed interior featuring fully reclining front seats and separately controlled rear passenger heater. The model also featured electrically adjustable rear shock absorbers to aid ride comfort. Limited numbers were built and it is thought perhaps around 40-50 examples still exist in various states of repair. This rare Imperial is presented in Goodwood green metallic with beige interior. Paint code 113. Body-work by Thrupp and Maberly Ltd of London. Having been off the road since 2012 the car has fallen in to disrepair and would be suitable for parts or a restoration project. The engine received work in 2014 to get it running but when presented for MOT failed on numerous points (see condition report for MOT fail). The current keeper then had the engine rebuilt including head repairs, head gasket etc in 23/03/2016 at a total cost of £3184.23 invoice included (see condition report for full details). Not running The vehicle has been parked up since the engine rebuild and we would suggest it is inspected before attempting to start it. The car still requires all of the other works addressing from the MOT fail. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot The body of the car will require substantial repairs, all wheel arches are rusted the underside of the car is also rusty. See further down the report for mot failure list. The vinyl roof is split in places and the inside of the vehicle has suffered from water ingress. Both front and rear bumpers are straight but would require a re-chrome. Front grille is rusty. All the doors are in reasonable condition with only minor surface rust, as is the bonnet and boot-lid. Lacquer peel on most panels. All tyres are perished and damaged. The boot area has suffered severe water ingress and is wet through due to the poor state/damaged seal. Engine bay area is very tidy with what appear to be sound inner wings All chrome side trims and badges are present and in good order. Rear light units are in good order. Spare wheel missing. The interior is heavily worn with the passenger seat split in several places, all carpets are wet due to water leaks. All wood veneer damaged. Headlining wet/damp. All glass ok.

1978 Ferrari 308 GTS - Desirable RHD UK car, recent comprehensive restoration by GTB Restorations Ltd - Silver with Blue interior, c.55,400 miles, documented history including original sales invoice - First owner: Tony Banks of Genesis, original registration number Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful designs of the 1970s/80s, the Ferrari 308 GTB was launched in 1975. Although the 1973 introduced 2+2 Dino 308 GT4 had nominally taken over the mantle of its namesake, the illustrious Dino 246 GT, the 308 GTB was in many ways the true successor to this classic design. Styled by Pinninfarina (the Dino 308 was Bertone's one and only Ferrari design) the 308 GTB was built by Scaglietti on the chassis and suspension of the 246 with a brand new 2926cc dry-sump V8 engine and most notably featured distinctive sculptured air intakes on the body sides ahead of the mid-mounted engine. Initially the cars were built with some fibreglass body panels (another first for a Ferrari) but from May 1977 all-steel construction was used. Long awaited, the open-topped GTS Spyder version arrived in March 1978 with a detachable centre roof section much in the manner of a targa rather than a full convertible. It did however only enhance the 308's delectable lines and the model then evolved through a fuel-injected version into the 3.2 litre 328 GTB/GTS until its replacement in 1988 by the less widely admired 348. By this time the 308/328 had become Ferrari's best-selling model to date, these sales including an Italian-market only 208 GTB/GTS 2-litre produced to circumvent Italian taxation laws. We are delighted to offer this desirable early production RHD carburettor example which has been the subject of a recent comprehensive restoration by renowned specialists GTB Restorations Ltd of Elmswell, Suffolk. A photographic feature on their website records their progress and gives testimony to the care and attention lavished on the car. A detailed summary of works carried out by them is also contained in the accompanying history file together with a photographic record comprising numerous images on disk. Works carried out included thorough restoration of the bodywork followed by a high quality and expensive bare metal respray to a 'piano finish' in the original shade of silver, attention to the blue interior including recovering of the seats, refurbishment of the wheels using the correct base coat and an engine overhaul which included the fitment of solid race valves. The vendor, who commissioned the works, has striven to keep the car as original as possible even down to sourcing a correct Carello headlamp replacement and correct vinyl to rejuvenate the targa roof section. New tyres were fitted all round including the spare and the original Ferrari labelled windscreen was retained. The all-important cambelts were replaced at the same time as the other mechanical work and the car has only covered a minimal mileage since completion. The odometer currently registers some 55,400 miles only. Understood to have been owned new by musician Tony Banks, of Genesis fame, FBC 564T has been in the current ownership since 2011 and is now only being offered for sale to help fund the purchase of another Ferrari. Offered with a detailed history file of invoices for past works and the recent restoration, original sales invoice, assorted expired MoT certificates, owner's manual, replacement service book, Swansea V5C document and current MoT, the car will also be serviced (again!) and checked over by GTB Restorations prior to being offered for sale. The original steering wheel, professionally re-leathered, will also be fitted. Whilst there would appear to be a plethora of tired LHD examples currently being offered on the market, a cherished and restored righthand drive carburettor model 308 GTS is much harder to find and we believe this fine example, properly looked after, should provide years of trouble-free enjoyment for the next owner.

1969 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2 The E-Type's Malcolm Sayer-penned lines are thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motor car. Indeed, only a few years ago the Daily Telegraph ranked the E-Type top in a pole of the '100 most beautiful cars of all time'. The E-Type, or XK-E as it was known in the USA, made its debut at the 1961 Geneva Salon where its unique combination of grace and pace stole the show. From birth, the car was available as a Fixed Head Coupe or a two-seat Roadster. At launch the new Jaguar was the fastest production car of its time - its 3.8-litre straight six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of around seven seconds and a top speed of circa 150mph. Despite this, the engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964 and, with the change, came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and more comfortable seats. The Series 2 models introduced in 1969 are distinguished by their lack of headlamp covers, enlarged front air intake, repositioned front indicators and tail lights, wrap-around rear bumper, twin-electric fans, uprated brakes and refashioned facia and seats. Dispatched from Browns lane on the 27th November 1969 to British Leyland, New York, USA, 'ANM 59H' is finished in Red matched to Biscuit interior and arrived back in the UK in 1985. It's understood at this stage it was converted to RHD and fitted with triple SU Carburettors followed by an extensive restoration in the late 1980's. Displaying a credible 90,300 miles and having just one former UK keeper, 'ANM 59H' is a previous Jaguar Drivers Club concours winner and is fitted with electronic ignition. Offered with every MOT certificate from 1985 onwards, collection of old tax discs, original handbook and Jaguar heritage certificate this much-loved example is described by the vendor to be 'very good' in regard to the engine, interior, paintwork, bodywork and gearbox and is offered with an MOT certificate into September 2017 with no-advisory's.

1965 Maserati Quattroporte 4700 Iniezione - Built to the special order of serial Ferrari and Maserati owner Dr Enrico Wax - Fitted with a larger 4.7-litre V8 engine (the earliest first series Quattroporte to be thus equipped), its uprated specification also comprised a bespoke leather dashboard, modified exhausts and longer range fuel tanks etc - More 'run of the mill' option included power assisted steering, quad headlamps and Borrani wheels - Extensively restored in 2012-2013 This splendid, left-hand drive, matching numbers Maserati Quattroporte from May 1965, finished in the pleasingly contrasting combination of Black bodywork and Red hide interior, was created to the special order of serial Ferrari and Maserati owner Dr Enrico Wax - a personal friend of Il Commendatore and the Italian importer of Johnnie Walker whisky and Connolly leather. An example of the first series of cars (of which only around 50 are understood to remain), this car with chassis number AM107*504* was the first to be equipped with the 4719cc as opposed to 4136cc engine, by request of Dr Wax. The Dottore had also carburettors fitted in place of the Lucas fuel injection system (this can be reversed, the parts are still available) and Bosch ignition instead of Magneti Marelli - all this has been documented. Among the many other unique or optional fitments that make it such a Maserati collector's dream are: special 60mm exhaust pipes; a pair of enlarged fuel tanks giving an extra 30 litres capacity; Borrani Record wheels equipped with the original hubcaps emblazoned with Red Maserati logos (especially made for the Iniezione, normally they were Blue); Sebring facia trimmed in leather rather than wood; Bakelite-rimmed aluminium steering wheel; chrome-bezzled instruments; quadruple headlights; power-assisted steering; electric windows; and the car's original Blaupunkt push-button radio. There was also a record player, but that's subsequently been usurped by an air-conditioning unit. Introduced at the November 1963 Turin Salon, the Maserati Quattroporte was arguably the world's first 'Super Saloon'. A bold move on the part of the Casa del Tridente-owning Orsi family, the newcomer was part high-performance GT and part luxury limousine. Taking inspiration from the Maserati 5000GT he had penned for Prince Karim Aga Khan in 1961, Pietro Frua imbued the handsome Quattroporte with a low belt line, slim-pillared glasshouse and neatly defined yet spacious boot. Based around a unique sheet steel box-section chassis equipped with independent front suspension, a de Dion rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes, the four- / five-seater was powered by a race-bred 4136cc 'quad-cam' V8 engine allied to either ZF five-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission. Credited with developing some 260bhp and 267lbft of torque, the Maserati was capable of 0-60mph in around 8 seconds and over 140mph (depending upon the final drive ratio chosen). After the first few cars had been made, Quattroporte production was transferred from Carrozzeria Frua to Carrozzeria Vignale (though, Maggiora of Turin was responsible for fabricating the bodywork). Arriving in 1966, the updated Series II version (or Tipo 107A as it was known by the factory) sported a new quad-headlamp visage and revamped interior complete with lustrous wood cappings, electric windows and standard fit air-conditioning. While, under the skin a revised leaf-sprung Salisbury back axle resulted in a quieter, smoother ride. By the time production ceased the following year, some 770 cars had been completed (circa Series I: 260, Series II: 510). Stylish, fast and exclusive, the big Maser was driven by the likes of Marcello Mastroianni, Alberto Sordi, Stewart Granger, Anthony Quinn, Peter Ustinov, Leonid Breznev, Prince Rainier of Monaco and Conte Volpi di Misurata. We understand the Quattroporte was the subject of a comprehensive restoration in 2012/2013 and the vendor presently views the Maserati's Connolly Vaumol interior trim and five-speed manual gearbox as being in 'excellent' condition and the four-door bodywork, 'Nero' paintwork and V8 powerplant as 'very good'. He is now offering the car complete with copies of the original order and factory build sheets, plus a Maserati Heritage Certificate. This fine period Maserati is so much more than the sum of its graceful parts, as it embodies a personal connection to the heart of Modena's premier car manufacturers. A one-off opportunity.

*Lucas Ltd., Electric Switch Box.

*Joseph Lucas Ltd., RB71 Electric Projectors. Catalogued for the period 1923 to 1927, these lamps were the predecessors to the Lucas P100 projectors that were introduced in late 1927. Originally priced at 0 in 1923, the price reflected their design and build quality. These lamps appear not to have been mounted upon a vehicle, and are in delightful condition, with no abrasions, scratches or dents to the nickel-plated body shells. They also retain their original Difusa front glasses with the Lucas insignia centrally mounted. The best quality headlamp produced by Lucas at the time, this type of lamp was fitted to Rolls-Royce 20hp & 40/50hp, Vauxhall 30/98, Lagonda and many other prestige motor-cars. The fronts are 25cm wide (2)

1953 Cadillac Coupe de Ville - Property of the President of the Californian Cadillac Owners' Club for many years - Reputedly treated to over $25,000 worth of parts, materials and rechroming since 2011 but associated invoices lost - Desirable specification includes: power steering, autronic eye, (green) tinted glass throughout, power brakes and power windows - Offered for sale with the very apt UK registration number '53 CAD' (currently on a retention certificate) Styling and horsepower were the watchwords of '50s American car design and no examples epitomised the thinking more than the voluptuous Harley Earl-penned Cadillacs. For the lower, sleeker body of the Series 62 model introduced in 1953, the effect of the distinctive tailfins that had been the company's hallmark since 1948 were heightened by: a redesigned grille with heavier integral bumper and tapered dagmar-style bumper guards, prominent headlamp eyebrows, smoothly curved one-piece rear window and a fresh design of full-size chrome wheel trim. Power for the 1953 Coupe de Ville was provided by a 5.4-litre (331ci) V8 of 210bhp output and having one parked on your driveway would have set you back $3,995 - the total production run for that year was 14,550. Finished in Black over Yellow with Green leather and cloth upholstery, this particular example is deemed by the vendor to be 'highly presentable' and in 'good running order'. The Caddy's impressive specification includes the following desirable extras; power steering, autronic eye automatic headlamp control, (green) tinted glass throughout, power brakes and power windows. Sadly all its paperwork was stolen en route to Europe, but when previously viewed it apparently confirmed that in excess of $25,000 had been invested in parts, materials and re-chroming alone since 2011. The car resided in Southern California from the '80s until venturing across the Atlantic, and for a long time was owned by a retired aircraft engineer and President of the California Cadillac Owners' Club who carried out all the technical work himself. The highly appropriate registration number '53 CAD' forms parts of the sale, though the number is currently on retention rather than attached to the car itself. Examples of '50s automotive Americana don't come much bigger or more imposing than this.
1968 Ford Zodiac MKIV Executive Saloon - Restored in 2011 and ready to show - Red with Magnolia interior - Original sales invoice and recent check over at cost of £1,000 Ford produced the Zephyr from 1952 to 1972, a more powerful 6-cylinder engine was used over the 4-cylinder unit to be found in the Consul. The luxury Zodiac and Executive variants were the largest saloons available from Ford until the arrival of the Granada in 1972. The Zodiac was an upmarket version of the Zephyr 6, utilising limousine-type rear doors, a sharper roofline with narrower C-pillar and tail, unique four headlamp grille, exclusive bumper bars, plusher seating, and up-market upholstery, dashboard and interior fittings. A choice of individual or bench front seat was available trimmed in leather or cloth. The front doors and bonnet panels were shared with the Zephyr 6. This fine example, finished in red with individual front seats in magnolia leather, was restored in 2011. Described as being "possibly the best available" it was given a mechanical check over in October 2016 having formed part of a private collection since purchase by the vendor. An original sales invoice in the sum of £1419 accompanies the car along with a current MoT to November 2017.
1958 Ferrari 250GT PF Coupe Rebodied as a LWB California Spyder - Offered from the stable of one of the UK's foremost Ferrari collectors - Based on an original 250GT PF Coupe chassis (Tipo 508D) which is interchangeable with that of a 250GT LWB California Spyder - Correct-type subframe and bodywork expertly copied from chassis 1487GT (an orginal 250GT LWB California Spyder Competizione that was formerly part of the vendor's collection) For many the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder - be it in LWB or SWB guise - is simply one of the most beautiful cars yet made. Though, it is the former variant which boasts the greater competition pedigree with a highly impressive 5th place overall during the 1959 Le Mans 24-hours and a class win at that year's Sebring 12-hours. Of the fifty 250 GT California Spyder LWB cars made, just thirty-six are known to have been built with the preferred covered headlamps. A Competizione variant - chassis 1603GT - sold for $18,150,000 in August 2016 so ownership is necessarily a select affair. The vendor of this particular car, chassis 1241GT, has been fortunate enough to own dozens of Ferraris over the past five decades including a 250 GTO and the ex-Pedro Rodriguez 1959 250 GT California Spyder LWB Competizione which he meticulously restored during the late 1990s / early 2000s. Smitten by the enclosed headlamp-equipped ex-Rodriguez machine (chassis 1487GT), he determined to make a precise copy and commissioned a dimensionally accurate wooden body buck which took some 3,000 hours to construct just by itself! A self-confessed perfectionist with a notorious eye for detail he spent years scouring the globe for correct accessories including door furniture, light units, instruments and even the correct boot lock. There was no question of using inauthentic parts even if they were destined to be out of sight so when a suitable fuel tank could not be located a facsimile was fabricated from scratch. A connoisseur of all things Prancing Horse he knew that the later California Spyder LWBs were underpinned by the same Tipo 508D chassis as the contemporary 250 GT Pininfarina Coupe (albeit with a different subframe). Starting life as one of the latter, chassis 1241GT thus required precious little alteration to serve as a donor (though, its brakes were upgraded to four-wheel discs). One of a mere 353 examples made, it had been supplied new to America on December 29th 1958 and subsequently belonged to Charles Wray of Maryland before entering the current ownership via Thomas E Shaughnessy Consulting of San Clemente, California in August 2000. Interestingly, the engine currently fitted to chassis 1241GT had previously been installed aboard chassis 1487GT when the vendor first acquired it (and erroneously stamped up as `1487GT'). The precise origins of the 3-litre V12 remain a mystery despite a radiographic inspection carried out during 2003 suggesting 094C or perhaps 0944C as the internal engine number. However, it is a dual distributor Tipo 128D inside plug unit of the same type that would have powered a California Spyder LWB when new. The gearbox is similarly period correct albeit that it has been upgraded with a fifth gear courtesy of renowned marque specialists GTO Engineering of Berkshire. Fabricated by Clive Smart of Shapecraft UK using the aforementioned body buck, the alloy coachwork was completed and mounted to the chassis during 2003. Painted some two years later, the process of finding bits and pieces and having things done just so meant that the Ferrari was not UK road registered until July 2009. Determined that `1430 MU' should not only look, but also act, the part of a 250 GT California Spyder LWB, the vendor dispatched it to GTO Engineering in November 2015. Some ten months and over £90,000 later, the Ferrari had undergone a thorough engine overhaul (re-ground / balanced crankshaft, new cylinder liners, fresh high compression pistons, replacement bearings and timing chain etc) plus had attention paid to its cooling system, five-speed gearbox, rear leaf springs and back axle etc. Shaken down by Kevin Jones of GTO Engineering including a trip to Prescott Hillclimb, chassis 1241GT started readily upon inspection and sounded decidedly healthy. It is difficult to overstate the amount of time and effort that has gone into transforming this 250 GT from a Pinin Farina Coupe into a California Spyder LWB. Indeed, we would wager that `1430 MU' is more authentic in some respects than a few of the originals (especially if they were restored in less exacting times). Utterly convincing - to our eyes at least - this delectable Ferrari is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document, Maryland Certificate of Title, Ferrari Owners' Club dating letter, radiographic report, `no advisories' MOT certificate valid until June 9th 2017, sheaf of GTO Engineering invoices and numerous restoration photos.
PLEASE NOTE: There is nothing in the 'Special Notes' section of this Elan's accompanying V5C Registration Document about the carburettor fire that it suffered during 2001. The fire saw it classified as a Category B Insurance Loss on 27th August 2001 with the following note: 'Bodyshell should have been crushed. Vehicle should not be on the road'. The original bodyshell was replaced with a strengthened reproduction one supplied by marque specialist Boss Motors as part of the 'chassis up' restoration that the Lotus underwent from 2012-2016. 'GEV 11H' was issued with a fresh, 'no advisories' MOT certificate on February 14th 2017.1969 Lotus Elan S4 Drophead Coupe - Sold from Lotus on 22/10/1969 to Len Street Engineering - Treated to a chassis up restoration including new bodyshell from 2012-2016 - £11,000+ in bills from Mick Miller, Paul Matty and Vincent Haydon but most labour done in-house Reputedly 1 of just 1,148 Elan S4s dispatched by Lotus in 1969, this particular Drophead Coupe example - chassis number 45/9463 - was registered to its previous keeper from 1980 until entering the current ownership some six years ago. Laid-up following a carburettor fire during 2001 which also saw it become the subject of an insurance total loss payment, the two-seater was treated to an extensive restoration from 2012-2016. Bills on file total over £11,000 despite the fact that the vendor and his brother undertook much of the associated labour themselves. An original Lotus component, the chassis was found to be remarkably sound but nonetheless galvanised for longevity purposes. Sourced from marque specialist Boss Motors along with an o/s door and o/s headlamp pod, the replacement Drophead Coupe bodyshell boasts a specially reinforced windscreen surround and sundry other strengthening. Fitted with a 'hotter' camshaft than standard, the 1.6 litre twin-cam engine also benefited from a reconditioned water pump, refurbished cylinder head and professionally overhauled Stromberg carburettors (by Gower & Lee £508.80) etc. The interior trim was renewed as was the hood. The seats currently fitted are from a Toyota MR2 because they allow a taller driver to be accommodated but the original Lotus items can be collected by the successful purchaser. Starting readily upon inspection, 'GEV 11H' is said to go and handle with all the aplomb typical of an Elan and is only being offered for sale due to the arrival of a new project. It is accompanied by copy photos of the restoration from a bare chassis upwards not to mention numerous invoices from the likes of Mick Miller Classic Lotus, Paul Matty Sportscars and Vincent Haydon Classic Lotus Cars.
1987 Ford Capri 280 Brooklands - Understood to have covered c.57,500 miles from new (but showing c.33,000) - Reportedly in 'well cared for' and 'original, unrestored condition' - Highly collectible (1 of 1,038 made) and MOT'd till Nov 2017 Ford billed the Capri as 'The car you always promised yourself' and, happily for the Blue Oval, some 1.9 million customers agreed and bought one during the production years of 1974 to 1986. Worthwhile improvements came with the 1974 MKII models and the 1978 quadruple headlamp MKIII cars. Then in 1981 the 3-litre Essex-engined variants were dropped in favour of a new 2.8 Injection version. Power rose to 160bhp and torque to 162 lb ft, giving Ford a stylish four-seat Coupe with performance capable of shaming rivals of four times the cost. The original plan for the run-out of this European 'pony car' was to build 500 turbo examples with the assistance of independent specialist Turbo Technics. However, that didn't square with the 1,038 chassis still needing homes, so the ultimate decision was to christen them 'Capri 280' and equip each one with Brooklands Green paintwork, Red-piped Raven Black interior trim and 15inch alloy seven-spoke wheels. Around 10 percent of purchasers opted for the turbo conversion, while the remaining cars were normally aspirated. Even in unturbocharged form the performance was brisk, with 60mph available in 7.8 seconds and a top speed of 130mph. People who purchase Brooklands Capris tend to acknowledge them as something pretty special and treat them accordingly, so most remaining specimens are in pretty good order. That would certainly seem to be the case with 'E270 UYD', which has had six owners from new but is in clearly splendid unrestored condition, such that the vendor presently classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as being in 'excellent' condition. This fine Ford is now being offered complete with paperwork in support of the total mileage travelled, which stands at c.57,500. With Capri prices rising rapidly, this could be an example well worth squirrelling away for the future. Photographs copyright Phil Burdge
