1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 GES Transmission: manualMileage:156738The 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 vehicles in their 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 grilles 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 wheel arches. For 1985, differential locks, central door locking and a tachometer became standard.This very well presented manual transmission example is offered in its original colour combination of Astra Metallic Silver over a black leather interior and looks excellent having been treated to much restoration and maintenance work in recent years. Over £15,000 was spent including a 'windows out' respray and more recently the G-Wagon was treated to a set of new tyres all round. As such the G-Wagon presents in very good condition throughout. The paintwork is excellent and the interior including the headlining and carpets are presented in very good condition. Offered with a history file including photos of the comprehensive respray, many sundry bills, invoices for various works, many previous MoT test certificates, the current UK registration document and an MoT valid until June 2024. This is one of the best examples we have seen and having been maintained and restored to such a level we are sure it will be keenly contested at auction.
1964 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Transmission: automaticMileage:19562Launched in 1962, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III and its Bentley S3 equivalent employed the 6.2 litre aluminium-alloy V8 engine first introduced in the Silver Cloud II although with larger carburettors, new distributor and raised compression ratio. It also came with a four speed GM derived automatic gearbox as standard equipment. Most obvious, among many changes from the preceding models, was the adoption of four headlamp lighting, the absence of sidelights from the wing tops and a slightly lower radiator shell. Inside, there was improved accommodation with separate front seats and increased room for rear passengers. Notable as the last mainstream Rolls-Royce to employ a separate chassis, the Silver Cloud III remained in production until superseded by the unitary-construction Silver Shadow in late 1965. The Cloud represented a supremely elegant design and is often regarded as the last true Rolls-Royce.This beautifully presented Cloud III was first registered on 3RD February 1964 and is now finished in a two tone blue over grey coachwork with complimentary grey leather trim. Owned since 2005 by our vendor's father, this was as described his pride and joy. This is demonstrated by the level of maintenance and expense lavished on SFU179 with Rolls Royce and Bentley specialist Harvey Wash Ltd most recently. The Paintwork shows little signs of age having clearly been restored and the woodwork is again in very good condition adding to the opulence. The leather seats in both the front and back are supportive and as to be expected, luxurious. Having been stored for a few years, the car performed very well on a recent short drive to Windsor for its photoshoot in the Royal Borough and the storage facility owned by a good friend of the owner's family stated that the car was started regularly. Supplied with V5C registration document, original handbook, a history file with recent invoices and with only 2,044 standard steel saloons built between 1962 and 1966, it is rare to find such a good example and estimated very reasonably. A car that was well loved by both the owner and his family and fitted with modern seatbelts front and back, this is a fabulously restored and very well cared for example.

1975 Ducati 350 Mark III Registration Number: GWM 84N Frame Number: DM350 S 359445 Early in 1968 Ducati introduced a range of models bearing the name "Scrambler", featuring a revised overhead cam engine design that quickly became known as the "widecase". The "Scrambler" models were eventually offered in four capacities, the 250 and 350 being joined by a 450 model and a 125cc version. The Scramblers were joined later in the year by two revised Mark 3 models, a 250 and 350. Regarded as the performance machine in the range, the 350 was fitted with a white/green camshaft and proved to be capable of 106mph. A 450cc Mark 3 joined the range in 1969. At this time the Mark 3's were fitted with a distinctive twin filler fuel tank and a headlamp mounted speedometer complimented by a separate tachometer, however, for 1970 the instrumentation changed to a separate speedometer and tachometer mounted on brackets in the same style as those employed by the "Desmo" singles. For 1971 the Mark 3 and "Desmo" ranges underwent considerable revisions that resulted in the style of the machines diverging. The "Desmos" adopted a fibreglass tank complimented by a racing style seat with a fibreglass hump and clip on handlebars accentuating its sporting characteristics while the Mark 3's adopted a new petrol tank, followed by a revised dual seat, side covers, instruments and headlight in 1972, reflecting the style of the 750 GT and establishing the machines final form. This Mark III was first registered in April 1975, being in the ownership of a private collector and enthusiast in recent times. Finished in a very 70s shade of orange with a black seat, this cool 350 has all of the looks of the Desmo, at a fraction of the price.
1961 Moto Parilla 250 Wildcat Registration Number: 294 UYV Frame Number: 700537 Engine No 700537 This machine is a rare beast. The Wildcat was a “USA-only” product of the Moto Parilla factory, made for the huge off-road and competition market. Designed with off-road in mind, it had an immensely strong “full-loop” frame (unlike the road bikes) and was fitted with top class Ceriani GP 35mm front forks (with damping adjustment from the saddle) and adjustable Ceriani rear shocks. Completing the high specification was a 7 litre tank, steering damper and steel based, leather covered seat. The engine was, at the time, the most powerful 250cc single engine in production with 26 bhp claimed. The Wildcat shared the same tune as the road-racing GS 250 model, with high compression piston, x1 cam (50/80/80/50 timing), 28mm Dellorto SSI carburettor and remote SS2 float bowl. Most Wildcats were bought as pure off-roaders with no intention of conforming to any road legalities such as lighting, instruments or silencing. A small number were sold with an optional “Enduro” kit which provided lighting with a headlamp and mounting “ears” at the front and a rear tail light and stop light switch. An extra coil fitted in the CEV 6055 magneto provided “direct” lighting and power for the stop light. This machine, equipped with the lighting kit and optional tachometer, started life in the UK in a batch imported by the UK concessionaire, and possibly sold via Comerfords in London. Around 30 machines were taken in a deal when the factory was effectively in receivership, but strangely no one outside the Parilla board knew this! This led to great difficulty in getting any spares for the Wildcats, as they were unique models in the range, sharing no cycle parts and only major engine components such as crankcases and barrels with other 250 models. Several of those bikes were used as parts “donors”, being stripped as required to keep customer bikes going or to repair them after crashes. Some Wildcats were “scrambled” by famous names such as world champion Dave Bickers, so one can imagine some damage was caused to the race bikes. This particular bike started out as “New Old Stock”, a new and unused engine, frame and swing arm unit which was bought from an enthusiast in Devon who had many years ago acquired several complete and incomplete Parilla models. Both engine and frame shared the same serial number so it was an obvious move to rebuild the bike to a high standard using the best original components available. It has been subject to a thorough restoration mechanically and cosmetically. Externally it is as near to 100% original as possible. Original gas tank, forks, mudguards and other missing components were located or came from a stock of new/old stock parts. Replica parts were not used other than the silencer to make it possible to use on the road. Internally the engine was checked over but being unused needed little work other than replacement of seals. In current ownership the following work has been completed: · All frame parts were powder coated gloss black. · All fork parts were powder coated wrinkle black as original · Fork stanchions hard chromed · OE fasteners and fittings were re-plated with dull zinc · All OE chrome work was re-plated to UK standards · Fuel tank de-rusted internally and refinished to OE standards and pattern · New gas taps were commissioned from the original manufacturers · The seat was repacked and recovered in Italy to ensure the exact stitching methods used were replicated · The wheel rims were replaced with flangeless alloy units and rebuilt using stainless spokes · New tyres fitted The Wildcat has been fitted with a custom made stainless steel “silenced” version of the original megaphone exhaust pipe, to tame a few of the many decibels produced by what is basically a “full race” ‘60’s engine tune. The lighting kit is not fitted at this point but an OE kit was supplied. In good running order (the engine was rebuilt by a renowned UK Parilla specialist). This rare bike comes with a certificate of authenticity and history file.
In superb condition with low mileage and celebrity provenance, this is a wonderful opportunity to own a pristine example of a Heritage Edition Defender with just 3,800 miles from new. After 67 years of making one of the most iconic off-roaders, Land Rover finally called time on the Defender series, so closely linked in heart, body and soul to the original 1947 Series I, HUE 166, affectionately known as 'Huey'. To mark the occasion, Land Rover launched the final Defender Celebration Series of three limited editions and the most significant of these was the Heritage Edition. Limited to just 400 built right at the end, the last ever Defender rolled off the production line at 9.15am on 29th January 2016. It was the 2,016,933rd Defender built at Solihull and thus became the last true Land Rover, the end of an era.All were finished in Grasmere Green with an Alaskan White roof, Heritage-style grill, headlamp surrounds and heavy duty steel wheels as a nod to the original car and further nostalgic touches include the silver front bumper with black end caps, clear indicator lenses, Indus Silver door hinges, body-coloured wheel arches, aluminium Heritage-style badging to the front grille and rear bodywork and evocative HUE 166 graphics on both front wing panels.Modern upgrades included a perforated leather steering wheel and gear lever, aluminium trim for the air vents, door handles and door locks, interior trim finished in Almond Resolve cloth seat facings with the Heritage logo and finally a padded cubby box between the two front seats.This car was supplied new by Gordon Lamb of Chesterfield in October of 2015 to its first owner who covered a nominal mileage and within 18 months offered the car for sale. In 2017, we were approached to locate and find a five-door 110 Heritage Edition, significantly rarer than the three-door 90, specifically for the world-famous comic actor, Rowan Atkinson CBE.A well known petrol head and Land Rover enthusiast, we had the pleasure of sourcing this car for him and it has since been cherished and lightly used as part of his personal Collection. Always correctly serviced, maintained and professionally stored, retaining all its original paint and panels, it has now covered just 3,800 miles from new. During Rowan's tenure, the car was fitted with a factory-specification tow bar and electrics as well as factory-spec air conditioning (at a cost of £4,278!) and also had a car alarm installed. Today, it is ready to use and enjoy and is offered in exceptional condition throughout with the comfort of a known history from new.The Heritage Edition was limited to a production run world wide of just 400 units and each vehicle was accompanied by a matching green hardback book entitled Land Rover - One of 400. We are pleased to confirm that the book is present and correct with this car and can be seen with the history file at our documents desk at the forthcoming sale.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: DEFENDER Year: 2015 Chassis Number: SALLDHMP7GA483984 Registration Number: YR65 WUT Transmission: Manual 6-Speed Engine Number: 150924061314DT224 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 3800 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: AlmondClick here for more details and images
1963 Triumph Vitesse Saloon Registration Number BRU 636AChassis Number HB4528D.LEngine Number HB4721HEThe Triumph Vitesse was introduced in May 1962 as an up-rated and more refined version of its earlier sister car, The Herald. Powered by a six cylinder, 1596 cc engine the car was designed by Giovanni Michelotti who redesigned his earlier Herald with a new slanted headlamp configuration but used most of the panels from the earlier car and was available in a two-door saloon or convertible style with a few three door estates built to special order. Wooden door cappings were added to match the wooden dashboard and slightly better seats and door cards.Attractively finished in Signal Red and Beach White with a black interior, the car presents very well. Seatbelts have also been added. The milometer currently reads 81158 which would indicate limited use since its last MOT in July 2021. Under the bonnet is clean and tidy and all tyres appear to be in good condition.The car comes with a history file with many receipts for work carried out since 1989 and recent receipts for parts that have been replaced. Also included are many old MOT certificates and an original Vitesse owners handbook. The car comes with a current V5C.Estimate:: £5,500 - 6,000

‘Terrible trials were averted by those brave airmen, who rose from fog-enveloped aerodromes with little prospect of ever reaching earth again alive. Many a time the report “nothing seen” would be rendered; but seeing nothing themselves they were frequently seen by their prey and so frustrated many a raider. If the list of unknown heroes were being compiled these would assuredly figure amongst the first.’ (The German Air Raids on Great Britain, by Captain J. Morris refers) An early and rare Great War ‘Defence of Great Britain’ M.C. group of four awarded to Captain R. C. L. Holme, Royal Flying Corps, late Somerset Light Infantry, who distinguished himself in the fight against raiding Zeppelins with 39 (Home Defence) Squadron, alongside such pilots as ‘Bomber’ Harris and William Leefe-Robinson. Transferring to 33 Squadron, Holme crashed on take-off whilst attempting to intercept one of the 16 airships intent on raiding London - one of which, SL11, was shot down by Leefe-Robinson during his V.C. winning exploits on 2-3 September 1916. Holme suffered badly both physically and mentally as a result of his crash - having to be removed from underneath his burning aircraft. Despite these setbacks, he went on to be posted to France as a Flight Commander with 29 Squadron and gained ‘Ace’ status in SE.5a single seater fighters during 1918. Holme survived the War, only to tragically die as a result of injuries and burns sustained as a passenger in a Vickers Vernon which crashed in Baghdad in October 1922 Military Cross, G.V.R., unnamed as issued; 1914-15 Star (2. Lieut. R. C. L. Holme. Som. L.I.); British War and Victory Medals, with M.I.D. oak leaves (Capt. R. C. L. Holme. R.A.F.) generally very fine or better (4) £3,000-£4,000 --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, September 2000. M.C. London Gazette 24 January 1917 (Home Honours): ‘For valuable services rendered in connection with the War.’ One of a handful of known ‘Home Defence’ gallantry awards for the Air Defence of Great Britain during the Great War, five of which were awarded in respect of gallantry during 1916 and 1917 - these including a V.C., a D.S.O., a Second Award Bar to the M.C., and 2 M.C.’s (the latter including Holme’s award). These early awards were for actions against Zeppelins, whilst the remainder were primarily for actions against Giants and Gothas in 1918. M.I.D. London Gazette 25 January 1917: ‘For distinguished services rendered in connection with the War.’ Robert Charles Lyon Holme was born in Reading, Berkshire, in November 1896, and in his youth resided in Norton-sub-Hampden, Somerset, and Barnes, London. He was educated at Repton and Sandhurst, and was commissioned into Prince Albert’s Somerset Light Infantry 11 November 1914, the day after his 18th birthday. Holme served with the Regiment in France from December 1914 to March 1915. He transferred to the Royal Flying Corps later that year, and despite being initially seconded as an Observer to 16 Squadron, Holme qualified on a Maurice Farman for Aviator’s Certificate No. 1665 at the British Flying School, Le Crotoy, on 28 August 1915. He had already been in combat with 16 Squadron, with Second Lieutenant H.M. Goode as his pilot, on 17 June 1915. On this date the pair carried out a reconnaissance in a BE.2a over Seclin, armed only with an automatic rifle, when they engaged an Aviatik bi-plane: 'The German machine was first seen going south over Gondecourt, where upon we changed our course in order to get within range – when within about 200 yards we made a sharp turn heading north and opened fire, we followed him as far as Loos firing all the time. By then he had increased his lead to some 1,000 yards and was losing height rapidly, we then turned and continued our reconnaissance. During the later point of the combat we were in range of the Lille anti-aircraft guns which had opened an ineffective fire.' (Combat Report refers) A ‘Dash’ with ‘Bomber’ Harris Holme was officially seconded as a Flying Officer (Observer) in the Royal Flying Corps in September 1915, and left 16 Squadron the same month. He was posted for Home Defence duties, for the defence of Great Britain, in December 1915. Holme carried out further training as a pilot, and served with 39 (Home Defence) Squadron (BE.2cs) at Sutton’s Farm and Hainault Farm, Hounslow. By the start of the new year, he was up in the air trying to intercept Zeppelins: ‘On the night of 25/26 April 1916, one of Holme’s squadron colleagues, Captain A. T. Harris, became the first to use the new and still experimental Brock explosive bullets against a raiding Zeppelin (LZ97). (Harris would gain undying fame in the Second World War as ‘Bomber’ Harris). Soon after closing with LZ97, Harris’ Lewis gun jammed and whilst he was clearing it, the Zeppelin slipped away into the surrounding gloom. Holme and another colleague spied the same Zeppelin in the distance, coned in the light of searchlights, but it was too far away to be caught.’ (The Military Cross to Flying Personnel of Great Britain and the Empire 1914-1919, by H. Giblin and N. Franks refers) Holme, Harris and one Lieutenant W. Leefe-Robinson (later V.C.) had attempted an attack on one of five raiding Zeppelins that night. Both Harris and Leefe-Robinson were unsuccessful, and Holme took up the pursuit. However, he encountered a fuel problem and was forced to make a dead-stick landing at Chingford. Hunting Zeppelins with Leefe-Robinson Holme advanced to Temporary Captain, and transferred as a Flight Commander to 33 Squadron (BE.2cs) at Bramham Moor. The Squadron was engaged on Home Defence duties, protecting the Midlands and the North against Zeppelin raids. On the night of 28-29 July 1916, the Squadron received information from the Humber Garrison Commander that hostile airships (six Imperial Navy Zeppelins) had been sighted 40 miles east of the mouth of the Humber proceeding due west. At this time, however, a thick fog in the vicinity of the aerodrome precluded any attempt being made to despatch aeroplanes. At 2 a.m. a further report was received of a Zeppelin proceeding from Driffield towards Hull. The weather being slightly clearer by this time, Lieutenant Holme was the only pilot to ascend from Bramham Moor, but at 3,500 feet above the aerodrome could barely see the landing flares and as the fog was becoming thicker he was forced to descend. So bad was the weather that he was forced to abandon his attempt to stalk Kapitanleutnant Koch’s L24, which had been reported in the Hull area. On the night of 2-3 August 1916, six Zeppelins raided England, whilst the Squadron was operating from Beverley. Although the German force confined their raid to the eastern counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, 33 Squadron sent out a protective patrol over Hull and the Humber. Holme took off at 2.25 am and patrolled towards Driffield, then turning south he circled round Hull at 10,000 feet. Visibility was bad and he could see nothing on his own level, so descending to 8,000 feet he went out over Hedon to the coast and followed it north to Atwick, where Holmes stated: 'I now saw a searchlight at Beverley giving me the pre-arranged signal that all was over, accordingly I throttled to come down. My lights had gone out and wishing to keep my headlamp until near the ground I came down without it to 4,000 feet. When trying my engine I got into a mild nose dive but came out of it all right and landed without damage at 3.35 am.’ Exactly one month later, on the night of Leefe-Robinson’s V.C. victory over SL11, Holme crashed on take-off in BE.2c 2661 at one o&rsqu...

1968 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk. II Transmission: manualMileage:31026The motoring correspondent of The Times reported in May 1963 the Mini while a popular second car in many households was no longer strictly the fashion, the Grande Luxe Mini de Ville by Radford had taken over. On test in London, he reported, it attracted more attention than a Ferrari Berlinetta with its special colour scheme and trim, sliding sunroof, radiator grille with two more recessed lights, special sound insulation and electric windows. The car tested by The Times also had white leather upholstery and deep lambswool carpets, tachometer, ammeter, oil gauge, clock, headlamp flasher and water temperature gauge. Further extras were: a laminated wood steering wheel, automatic red caution lights on open doors, a reading light, cigar lighter, twin-speaker radio and an air blower to demist the rear window. After the 1967 Earls Court Motor Show The Times recorded that Captains of Industry ordered them, painted them to match their Rolls-Royces and gave them to their wives. Pop Stars and West End playboys presumably invested in them as a status symbols. The reporter tested 'a typical Mini de Ville', a 1275 Mini-Cooper S with an engine performance pack providing up to about 110 m.p.h. Outwardly the only distinction was the magnesium alloy wheels, sunroof and non-standard paint. Inside absolutely everything seemed like a refugee from a Rolls-Royce. This exceptional 1968 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk. II has all the hallmarks of being a superb example built by Radford, but no records to prove this can be found. Purchased by a private collector in 2016 it was later sold by Historics in 2022 to another private collector where it has remained until now continuing to be fully maintained and well looked after. A previous owner purchased the car around 2012 from a long-term owner who lived in Derby. Between his purchase and the car being sold in 2016 he sent it to marque specialists Paul Preston Classic Mini Restoration for a comprehensive respray and restoration as necessary. Stripping the car down and removing the original paint, it was found that the body was sound and rust free, the coachbuilders work was to the highest standards where the Mk. II body shell had been de-seemed and lead filled including the smoothed front panel. The car was repainted to the highest of standards in the original colour of maroon. Refitted the excellent bespoke cream and piped red, Connolly leather interior, the burr walnut dashboard with a full compliment of Smith gauges and felt roof lining, A and C pillar panels and Mota Lita wood rimmed steering wheel. Other Radford features include a Webasto folding sunroof and grille recessed Lucas spotlights. During the restoration the engine and gearbox were also overhauled. This lovely Cooper S is supplied with a V5 registration document, the heritage certificate confirming that it is a matching numbers car and a file containing sundry invoices.
1987 Mercedes-Benz 230 GE Transmission: automaticMileage:149000The 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 over 40 years. 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. Fuel injection became available in 1982 when the 230 GE 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 example is presented in Sand coachwork with a tan cloth trim and was originally supplied on 1st March 1987. Supplied with the maintenance booklet, operating instructions and radio manual, this five-speed manual example of the 2.3 litre G-Wagon presents well. The interior is well kept for a 31 year old 'utility' car but perhaps this is indicative of the beginning of the luxury SUV market, with little use as compared to a traditional utilitarian vehicle. This G-Wagon is now reluctantly offered for sale due to the arrival of a new car. Supplied with the V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate valid until 3rd October 2024 and a history file including past MoT test certificates. To find such an original example of this 4x4 legend is an opportunity not to be missed. Guide Price £10,000-£15,000Interested parties should note that this example requires a new ignition barrel which has been ordered and will be provided to the new owner, this does not affect the starting and running of the car but we have noticed it requires replacing.
1979 Ford Mercury Cougar XR7 Transmission: automaticMileage:68517The Mercury Cougar XR7 was an iconic American muscle car, produced by Ford's Mercury division from 1967 to 1997, it's best known for its stylish design and powerful performance. The XR7 variant, introduced in 1967, represented the more upscale and luxurious version of the Cougar line-up. The XR7 was instantly recognizable by its distinctive hidden headlamps, a hallmark of its design. Under the bonnet, it offered a range of potent V8 engines, delivering impressive horsepower and torque. With features like leather upholstery and air conditioning as an option, the XR7 provided a comfortable and premium driving experience. Throughout its production run, the Mercury Cougar XR7 went through various design changes and updates, adapting to the evolving automotive landscape. It remains a beloved classic today, celebrated for its combination of style, power, and luxury, encapsulating the spirit of American muscle cars from the late 20th century.This Mercury was dispatched from the factory on 1st June 1979 and was owned by just two keepers in the US prior to its importation to the UK in 2019. The vendor who has owned the car since 2019 is a knowledgeable car enthusiast and has kept this Cougar as original as possible, choosing only to fit a stainless steel exhaust system, deemed to be a wise investment. Other items that have been changed recently is the fitment of a new fuel pump, fuel lines, spark plugs, HT leads, starter solenoid and a headlamp switch. Presenting very well with good grey coachwork and grey interior. We are advised the 5.0 litre V8 engine runs well and the car drives with no known faults. Supplied with a V5C registration document, together with a history folder, we are advised this Mercury Cougar XR7 will be presented for an MoT test prior to auction.

On offer from the Barton J Hubert No Reserve Collection - with the hammer price (plus Buyers Premium) going to the Kids Club Kampala Charity; a simply stunning Collector-quality Series 1 with just under 1,900 miles from new. Purity 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 5-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.Introduced at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show, just over 10,600 S1 Elises were built before the arrival of the S2 in 2001. It’s a testimony to the concept that, almost 27 years on from launch, the original 118bhp S1 still delivers. As with other great drivers' cars such as the E30 M3 and the original Elan, all things feel in balance – power, grip, handling and mass, making for a uniquely satisfying experience. The Series 2 naturally benefitted from further years of development, however the more demure Series 1 still defines the breed.The car presented here is a 1997 Lotus Elise S1 which was supplied new by long-established Lotus dealers Bell & Colvill to Robert ‘Robs’ Lamplough, the well-known 1960s racing driver and prominent member of the BRDC. Remarkably, it has covered just 1,900 miles from new, supported by its incredible condition and its detailed history file. This is a 'museum-quality' modern-classic, but it has been used and exercised sparingly, ensuring its fitness. Coincidentally, our very own ambassador, Harry Metcalfe, drove this actual car in October 2022, saying 'Nothing to see here, just an 1,800 miles from new 1996 Lotus Elise I was in today. Felt so light on its feet (K-Series was the perfect engine for the Elise) and steering was a reminder of how good a no-power assist rack can be. Pretty car too.'This little Lotus presents superbly in Racing Green Metallic with Magnolia hide, and is fitted with a 'Momo' steering wheel, built in driving lights and Perspex headlamp covers. It is the 911th example produced and is equipped with a number of features unique to the early cars, including the lightweight Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) brakes and aluminium engine cover that helped towards achieving the headline-grabbing target weight of just 690kg.The accompanying history file includes it's original purchase invoice and previous service invoices (including from the supplying dealer). As good as you'd ever find.This fabulous Lotus is very generously being offered for sale with the hammer price figure realised (plus, the IA sellers commission) being donated to Birmingham-based charity Kids Club Kampala - a children’s charity with a Christian ethos working in Uganda, East Africa. Their mission is to support vulnerable kids in the slums of Kampala, the capital of Uganda, by providing for both their immediate needs and strengthening their futures by feeding, protecting, educating and skilling. Their projects are a lifeline to vulnerable children, and they are currently supporting over 300,000 individuals across 12 communities in Uganda.Specification Make: LOTUS Model: ELISE SERIES 1 Year: 1997 Chassis Number: SCC111YN1VHA10911 Registration Number: P516 FPM Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 18K4FJ31481945 Odometer Reading: 1900 Miles Make: Interior Colour: Magnolia Click here for more details and images
**Please note the correct registration number is KND 342N, chassis no. 1428328, engine no. AR00564*S0587*. The Alfa Romeo was supplied new to Italy in 1974 as a left hand drive example, not to London Sports Car Centre in 1972 as erroneously catalogued.** Benefitting from a major mechanical overhaul earlier this year, costing over £11,000. In 1967, Alfa Romeo dipped its toe into the Supercar sector by launching the Montreal, named after the Montreal Expo where it made its debut. It was powered by an all-new V8 quad-cam competition-derived power unit with dry-sump lubrication taken from the successful Type 33 sports racer and mated to a 5-speed ZF gearbox.With a capacity of 2,593cc, the V8 featured twin overhead camshafts per bank and produced, via Alfa Romeo/Spica fuel injection and Bosch electronic ignition, 200bhp at 6,500rpm. This provided excellent performance with a top speed of 137mph and 0-60mph in just 7.6 seconds. Under the exotic Bertone designed 2+2 coupé coachwork, the Montreal incorporated many stylish features, such as the headlamp eyelids and the NACA duct on the bonnet.According to the accompanying service coupon book, chassis '1440181' was supplied through the London Sports Car Centre on 10th March 1975 to its first registered owner, the Minimum Tool Co. Presenting in Dark Brown Metallic, this left-hand drive example benefits from a recent mechanical overhaul that cost over £11,000 in January 2023. Wildae Restorations in Devon carried out the work and there are more details in the accompanying history file along with previous MOTs, service records, invoices and correspondence.Prior to the sale, the car will be issued with a fresh MOT. This fabulous Alfa is offered to auction at a very competitive estimate when you consider its rarity and the level of recent expenditure, and is now ready for its next lucky owner to use and enjoy as originally intended.SpecificationMake: ALFA ROMEOModel: MONTREALYear: 1972Chassis Number: 1440181Registration Number: HLH 670NTransmission: ManualEngine Number: AR10564/S0146 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDClick here for more details and images
