1984 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:45540This 1984 Rolls-Royce Corniche is a beautifully presented example of the first-generation convertible in outstanding order throughout, with intriguing early provenance and a strong maintenance history.It is powered by the 6.75 litre alloy-block V8 engine, which is driven through a three-speed automatic transmission. The odometer currently reads 45,520 miles from new. This Mulliner Park Ward Corniche was originally purchased by a member of a Royal household from H.R. Owen in South Kensington and the dealer maintained the vehicle in its early years. More recently, the car has been recommissioned and fitted with SU carburettors for improved reliability, and we are informed is in excellent mechanical order. The distinguished bodywork of this Corniche is in superb order throughout and is finished in ivory contrasted with a blue soft-top and blue coachlines. The paintwork is in immaculate condition with no marks as is the chrome work. The roof itself was recently renewed and again is in superb order. The vehicle rides on a set of 15” wheels with ivory centre caps and a blue stripe detail around the rims, all of which are in superb condition. The interior again is in excellent order with very mild age-related patina as one would expect. The seats are trimmed with cream leather. It features black piping which is original to the car and the lacquered wood veneers present very well. All of the electrics and controls are original and work as they should.In February 2021 at 45,504 miles, recommissioning work was carried out, the starter relay was replaced, the brakes bled and new brake pipes were fitted. The Avon tyres are in very good condition with very little wear.There is a solid history illustrated in the original service book, dating back to the mid-1980s. The most recent MoT test certificate was issued on 17th February 2021 at 45, 509 miles, which resulted in a pass.This Rolls-Royce is an exceptional well cared for example and has been fastidiously maintained which is clear to see upon viewing.The vehicle has the original handbook, delivery note and service book, which displays 14 stamps dating from 1984 to 2015, supported by numerous maintenance invoices and MoTtest certificates.This Corniche is a very well-presented luxury cruiser, with early Royal provenance, and evidently benefiting from plenty of care and attention by previous owners. Following some light recommissioning, this Corniche is now ready to be enjoyed.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1965 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:70000With a production run that started in 1959 and finished in 1968, the Mercedes-Benz W111 series was the top of the range line-up for the German manufacturer. The addition of two-door coupés and cabriolets was made in 1961. These new models were the replacement for the two-door Pontons and factory prototypes show that Mercedes-Benz attempted to give the two-door car a front styling similar to the Pagoda roadster. The rear bodywork persisted and although officially called a fintail the rear end design had no chrome fin highlights. The coupé was premiered in Stuttgart for the 75th anniversary of the Mercedes-Benz Museum.This superb example is presented in light blue with wonderful red leather interior. It comes with a history file containing details of a detailed body and engine rebuild together with a CD providing evidence of work completed along with further invoice history of work carried out. This fabulous example of this iconic classic from the Germany manufacturer is exemplary in its condition and has won overtime many awards at Mercedes-Benz events. The ivory steering wheel and gear knob add to is nostalgic feel, particularly complemented by its fabulous interior which is extremely comfortable as with all Mercedes-Benz of this era are! The wooden instrument binnacle and screen surround have been treated to some honest updating, without losing the authenticity of her 50 years of life and the lighting has been upgraded with LED bulbs, without changing the lenses so that you wouldn't realise. Powered by its smooth six-cylinder engine mated to a manual gearbox, this stunning classic will turn heads everywhere.

Lot 228
1961 Corvette Corvette C1 Transmission: manual Mileage:6663 General Motors designer Harley Earl loved sports cars and was influenced by the GI’s bringing home MGs, Jaguars, Alfa Romeo’s and the like after hostilities ceased in Europe in 1945. Even the small independent carmaker, Nash Motors, began selling a two seater sports car in 1951. Earl convinced GM that they also needed to build a two seat sports car. Earl and his 'special projects' crew began working on the new car later that year which was code named 'Opel'. The result was the 1953 Corvette, which took its name from a small, manoeuvrable fighting frigate and was unveiled to the public at that year's Motorama Car Show.This stunning 1961 Corvette has been owned and upgraded by its current, enthusiast, owner for some 12 years. A twice ‘Best in Class’ winner at the nationals in 2007 and 2008. Finished in Polaris Silver over Ivory coves and complemented by black Al Knoch trim, this example presents almost as new. Sympathetically upgraded and fully restored this ‘Vette’ boasts a 350ci small block Chevrolet engine mated to a TH350 transmission, a turn of the key and the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end, the sound is fabulous. Upgrades however did not stop with the engine and gearbox, the end goal was a C1 that could be used on UK roads as a more modern sports car so independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering, a Chevrolet 10 bolt rear end, uprated six pot Wilwood disc brakes and coil over adjustable suspension for a perfect setup were added amongst numerous other upgrades. The history file contains comprehensive invoices and receipts coupled to a workshop manual, V5 registration document and details of the numerous upgrades and details from the restoration. This is one of the most stunning examples we have seen but, in this instance, also one of the best examples to actually drive, performing well against cars half its age. Viewing is highly recommended you will not be disappointed. Interested parties should note that the private registration plate shown is to be retained by the vendor and a new, age-related registration issued instead. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1939 Buick Viceroy Series 40 Special Transmission: manualMileage:1700‘In the name of the King’ is the literal meaning of Viceroy although latterly it has come to mean an official who represents the monarchy in an overseas territory.It is of little surprise that this grand saloon generated such a moniker given its dimensions and styling. Built in Ontario by General Motors’ Canadian coachbuilding subsidiary McLaughlin exclusively for GM’s export division, they were favourites of the British Royal family, with King George VI and Mrs. Simpson owning one each while the Duke and Duchess of Windsor were also Buick fans taking delivery of new models in 1936, ’38 and ’39. All were built by McLaughlin and all purchased from London Buick dealers, ‘Lendrum and Hartman’, the last arriving in Europe just as war was declared. The Viceroy boasts its signature twin, wing-mounted spare wheels and forwardopening rear doors and was extremely advanced, mechanically, for its time.Powered by a fourlitre overhead valve, straight eight motor with a threespeed column change and independent front suspension, performance was good with a lazy 107bhp on tap and the model proved popular on both sides of the Atlantic.Righthand drive export versions, as this is, were made in Canada by the Buick-McLaughlin subsidiary and can easily be distinguished by its stylised ‘Catwalk Cooling’ front end inspired by the contemporaneous Auto Union grand prix cars. Since the arrival of this Viceroy in the UK, the history drops off the radar somewhat but is picked up again some five years ago when it was found abandoned in a barn in Norfolk. It was then stripped back to bare metal and repainted with all new running boards fabricated to the original specification including twin side mounts and carriers. All the brightwork was rechromed to a high standard and the seats and door cards retrimmed in black leather with new carpets fitted. The steering wheel, door cappings and dashboard were renovated in their original ivory finish with a new headlining fitted. The straight-eight, Dynaflash engine was rebuilt and the gearbox and back axle overhauled. The wheels were refurbished and all the tyres are reported to be in good order, the wiring has also been renewed and the car now runs on 12-volt electrical system.It is, of course, MoT test and tax exempt; however, the fastidious owner will supply a 12month ticket. Supplied with current UK V5C registration document, old MoT test certificates, invoices, and other paperwork, this reliable, imposing and, not to mention, rare classic piece of American history is somewhat regal at the same time. Interested parties should note that this example is now supplied with a brand-new Lucas dynamo, new battery and new tires. (The original dynamo is also supplied) Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction. Buyers are advised to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out this service. Historics will not entertain disputes over descriptions.
