1973 Jaguar XJ6 Series I (4.2 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:26128Launched in September 1968, the Jaguar XJ6 was the final model that Sir William Lyons had a, hands-on, input into the design. This new model was the result of several years of development and streamlined the extensive portfolio of models offered by Jaguar at the time. This new, reasonably priced car, managed to retain the principles of earlier Jaguars but offered a new level of driveability and safety. It created such a desire that second-hand models were achieving higher prices than new cars on dealership forecourts, such was the demand. These early models have outstanding ability and are considered by many enthusiasts as the purist form of Sir William Lyons' design.This example is no exception, in the most desirable configuration of short wheelbase, with a manual overdrive gearbox. The British Racing Green paintwork presents well and the brightwork has an equally good shine. Moving inside, the green interior also presents very well and gives the impression that the odometer reading of just over 26,000 miles, may be correct. There is evidence of £1,981 worth of work carried out in 2020, which appears to have mainly been a thorough recommission following a long stint in storage.Smart early XJ6's are becoming increasingly difficult to find, this example appears to be very original and with its manual gearbox, it is a true super saloon of the 70's. Presents in possibly the best colour combination and specification, this might just be the XJ6 you have been searching for.

2004 Range Rover believed to be Ex-HM Queen Elizabeth II Transmission: automaticMileage:There can be few cars that are as well-known and iconic as the mighty Range Rover. Launched in 1970 and built in the UK, this leader in the 4x4 field is now on its fifth incarnation. Enjoyed by Royalty and celebrities alike, the Range Rover is both aspirational and practical. The car has been described as 'the best 4x4 by far' and has been the winner of numerous awards. This example has possibly one of the most interesting and regal starts to its life, circumstantial information leads the vendor to believe that this was originally delivered to the Royal Estate for use by the HM Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip in London and Balmoral. First registered in 2004 and supplied by Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations as per contract 34319. It has been confirmed by Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicles that this example was specified with a modified front grille with covert blue lights, switch pack (to power said lights), front and rear seat covers, dog guard, load space mat, side steps and mudflaps, this all an addition to the standard car options which are found with the Heritage Certificate and include heated front and rear seats, non UWB door lock frequency and tinted glass all round to mention a few. Ordered of course in Epson Green with Sand (Oxford Leather), the 4.4 litre V8 boasts air suspension, and the car is currently with its fourth owner with none of the previous aware of what could have been such illustrious beginnings. The car was supplied by SV to an unknown dealer code, EXEL AMS, for whom the British Motor Heritage Trust themselves cannot track details for apart from a detail recall print off from JLR which identifies that in July 2004 the car was sent to Stratstone Land Rover, Mayfair for a warranty recall before a similar warranty recall at Peter Vardy Land Rover, Aberdeen, the closest Land Rover dealership to the Balmoral Estate. With the Royal Family traditionally frequenting Balmoral between July and September, the assumption being that the car was seen in Mayfair before being transported to Balmoral where it was again seen after the family left to return to London¦ the plot thickens! Upon requesting details from the DVLA, the vendor has been refused any previous keeper's details, a copy of the letter can be found in the history file alongside photographs of what is believed could be the car with the Queen driving, showing the colour. The image shows the dog guard, and the seat covers but sadly as yet no image has been uncovered showing Queen Elizabeth and the cars registration number. Further possible telling indicators of the cars beginnings include duel rear window switches, these are not JLR standard parts but could be ordered and fitted by dealerships, this has been seen before with the Queens Daimler Majestic and enable the rear passenger (possibly the Queen) to control the other rear window thus stopping the wind blowing directly into her face or displacing one of those fabulous hats! Furthermore, keen eyes will spot on the door pillars there are rear climb handles to assist entry and departure from the car, this is something believed to be unique to the Queens Range Rovers due to her insistence of no assistance from staff when entering and exiting the car thus the handles along with the side steps enabled comfortable entry for a lady who would have been in her late 70's at the time. The final piece of circumstantial evidence leading the vendor to firmly believe this was indeed her majesty's car are the two reasons he embarked on this voyage of discovery, he noticed one day when cleaning his car there were two areas where the car had filler and in odd places, one on the bonnet, two marks clearly visible from the underside and one to the rear on the roof. The rear is believed to be for the radio comms arial also seen in a photo of a L322 Range Rover driven by the Queen and the front believed to be where the Labrador mascot was mounted as also seen in photos. The car now is in very good order, the vendor has chosen to keep the car as original as possible in the hope that the provenance can be cemented. Having covered a little over 109,000 miles from new, the service history is comprehensive with its first service in April of 2005 with Stratstone Mayfair before a further five with Hunters Land Rover, two with specialists in Windsor before a further five services with John Dennis in Aylesbury before a recent Land Rover service this July ready for the Auction. Confined to the garage and minimum use, the car is possibly one of Jaguar Land Rover more important cars of the last 20 years and could be an incredible piece of Royal provenance. The vendor is hoping that should someone have a photo of this car and her majesty driving or as passenger they will send to Historics auctions@historics.co.uk but regardless the circumstantial evidence is compelling and all signs certainly point toward this indeed being property of the late beloved Queen Elizabeth II.

2005 Mercedes-Benz SL350 Transmission: automaticMileage:88125The R129 models were produced from 1989 through to 2001 and sold under the SL-Class model names. The R129 replaced the R107 SL-Class in 1989 and was subsequently replaced by the R230 in 2001. The R129 was based on the shortened floorpan of the Mercedes-Benz W124 saloon and featured many innovative details for the time. It came to public attention in 1991 when Diana, Princess of Wales, sold her Jaguar XJS to lease a J-registration, metallic-red 500 SL, becoming the first member of the Royal Family to use a foreign car. This controversy sparked a media storm as it was questioned whether a member of British Royalty should drive a foreign car. The fifth generation of the legendary SL series, made by Mercedes-Benz, was known as the R230. It featured a fully retractable hardtop that was marketed as the Vario Roof- a first for the SL class although it had been available on the smaller SLK model since 1997.This fabulous Mercedes-Benz is presented in blue with a grey leather trim and is in unmarked condition. The original service books are present and HK55 HBE is accompanied by a good service history. These are very well-appointed vehicles with electric seats, cruise control and automatic transmission all coming as standard equipment. The power hood works perfectly and we are advised by the very fastidious vendor that this SL350 drives with no known faults. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 4th May 2024. These models never seem to age and are extremely practical as well as being elegant and swift when one needs to be somewhere in a hurry.Guide £11,000- £13,000

1994 Jaguar XJR Transmission: manualMileage:103755The first XJ was launched in 1968 and the designation has been used for successive Jaguar flagship models since then. The original model was the last Jaguar saloon to have had the input of Sir William Lyons, the company's founder. A number of incarnations of this extremely robust and admired saloon appeared over the years finishing up in September 1997 with the X300 saloon. The top of the range model in the line-up was the XJR. This model was the first car from the Coventry manufacturer to feature a supercharged 4.0 litre engine. The impact on sales for Jaguar was dramatic with the Midlands company enjoying one of the most successful sales periods in its history.Originally registered on 18th November 1994 this Jaguar XJR is fitted with a manual gearbox and as such, is a very exciting car to drive. The 3980cc straight-six engine is a good reliable unit, however the supercharged version as this is, offers brisk performance by any standards. At the time of launch Jeremy Clarkson described the Jaguar XJR as the best car in the world to drive. Finished in metallic red with Oatmeal leather interior, this XJR comes with air conditioning, heated front seats and an electronically operated sunroof. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 5th April 2024, this Jaguar XJR is offered for sale without reserve.

1959 Jaguar XK150 Fixedhead Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:7934This lovely right hand drive car is presented in its original colour of Old English White with red interior, on its original number plate 692 BTT. The car's originality is supported by a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, certified copy of the Devon Archives, and inspected by the London XK specialist from the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club. This example also retains its original engine, chassis and gearbox with working overdrive in original livery. Mr. Sanderson of Torquay first bought 692 BTT new in March 1959. From there it appears that the car was owned by Wing Commander Graham Rogers MBE DFC, a pilot in the RAF's 92nd squadron. From there it was exported in 1983 to Turin, Italy, where the car was awarded the numbered status of Historic Classic Car (HCC), confirming originality, and the car carries the club badges on its front badge bar today. The separate numbered metal numbered HCC badge is sold with the car.Imported back into the UK, the car was immediately passed to Steve Coleman's Jag West London Workshop for a full overhaul. This included a full service, new camshaft covers, rebuilt carburettors, new shock absorbers, new discs all around, rebuilt suspension with new bushes throughout and extensive re-chroming. The cost of these works totalled £10,450 and bills are on file to support this. This wonderful classic British sportscar is sold with its original service manual, original Jaguar sales flyer and the original AutoExpress XK150 SE test write up.Guide Price £46,000-£54,000
Lot 146
1987 Jaguar XJS Jubilee Edition Transmission: automaticMileage:96740The Jaguar XJS was introduced in 1975 as the successor to the E-Type and remained in production for 21 years. Designed as a Grand Tourer rather than an out and out sportscar the XJS was powered by Jaguar's 5.3 litre V12 engine, with the choice of manual or automatic transmission. Producing 295bhp, the XJS was capable of 150mph and with all-round independent coil suspension, power assisted steering, and disc brakes offered excellent handling. The dramatic styling of the XJS did not go unnoticed by one of the foremost Jaguar dealers of the time Guy Salmon, who commissioned a limited Jubilee Edition. This limited Jubilee Edition featured only 25 cars and there are less than 10 of these left on the road today. Styling enhancements included Daimler round headlights (four), a unique front grille (also based on a Daimler), roof spoiler, extra chrome work and walnut veneer throughout the interior.The Jaguar XJS Jubilee Edition offered here is a 1987 registered example and is finished in grey metallic with a grey leather interior. Having covered 96,740 miles this three-owner example was purchased by its current owner, a Jaguar enthusiast, in 2003 and boasts a comprehensive history file. Specification highlights include automatic transmission, electric seats, cruise control, electric door mirrors, air conditioning, electric windows, trip computer, heated seats and carpet mats. This is a rare collector's opportunity to obtain a very limited example of the ever-popular XJS.Guide price £10,000-£15,000
Lot 111
2000 MG F Transmission: manualMileage:69800The MGF was the first new model designed as an MG since the MGB that was produced from 1962 to 1980. It was initially designed by the Rover Group during the period it was owned by British Aerospace and was brought to market after the business had been sold to the German car manufacturer BMW. It was powered by a 1.8 litre K-Series 16-valve engine, the basic having 118bhp while the more powerful VVC (variable valve control) had 143bhp. Steve Harper of MGA Developments produced the initial design concept in January 1991 having been inspired by the Jaguar XJR-15 and the Ferrari 250LM, before Rover's in house design team refined the concept under the leadership of Gerry McGovern. An interesting feature of the F was its Hydragas suspension, a system employing interconnected fluid and gas displacers which provided a surprisingly compliant ride, but which could be tuned to provide excellent handling characteristics.This MGF was originally registered on 15th March 2000 and has clearly been well cared for by a true enthusiast owner. Indeed, the car benefitted from uprated brakes and a stainless steel cooling system amongst significant expenditure lavished on the little 1.8 pocket rocket boasting the VVC (variable valve control) engine with 143bhp. A good history file accompanies this MGF including the book pack. Looking resplendent in the colour combination of silver with an unmarked black interior, this MGF is supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until January 2024. This is a great fun car for a modest outlay.Estimate £2,000 - £5,000

2004 Jaguar XK8 Convertible Transmission: automaticMileage:61190Jaguar was founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company by Sir William Lyons in 1922, originally making motorcycle sidecars before developing passenger cars. The name was changed to Jaguar after World War II to avoid the unfavourable connotations of the SS initials. Sale to BMC happened in 1966, which in 1968 merged with Leyland Motor Corporation and became British Leyland. Jaguar cars today are designed in Jaguar Land Rover's engineering centres at the Whitley plant in Coventry and at their Gaydon site in Warwickshire and are manufactured in Jaguar's Castle Bromwich assembly plant in Birmingham. The Jaguar XK series was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show on 5th March 1996. The first generation of the series, the XK8, replaced the XJS and was available as a coupé and convertible. The XK8 was the first eight-cylinder vehicle produced since the Daimler 250. The XK8 came with 17 alloy wheels, leather interior, burr walnut trim, and side airbags as standard.This lovely example is presented in Zircon Blue metallic with cream leather interior. The car has upgraded brakes all round, cruise control, ABS and alloy wheels as standard. It also has electric wing mirrors, fully electrically adjustable seats with memory function and two driver seat positions and auto active headlights. Its sound system is Jaguar AM/FM radio/cassette and has as six-disc CD changer in the boot. The dark blue hood is in good condition as indeed is the car in general with the latest service having been carried out at the end of May this year by Powerball in Taplow. The service history is good with servicing carried out by a mixture of Jaguar and specialist garages and with it only having two owners from new, this example presents itself very well and is offered without reserve.

1970 Jaguar E-Type Series II Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:89260There is little doubt that the advent of Jaguar's E-Type revolutionised the motoring world and sent the press into raptures, the penmanship that created such exquisite lines was truly gifted. The Museum of Modern Art recognised the significance of the Jaguar E-Type's design in 1996 by adding a blue roadster to its permanent design collection, one of only two cars to receive the distinction. This three-dimensional beauty, however, was complemented by a fabulous double-overhead cam, six-cylinder engine that powered this lithe, taut creature comfortably over the 100mph mark. Jaguar, rightly, were not content to sit upon their laurels however and continue to develop the E-Type with the first substantial improvements arriving in 1964 with a newly enlarged 4.2-litre powerplant increasing torque and improving driveability. In 1968 open headlights without glass covers, a wrap-around rear bumper, re-positioned and larger front indicators and taillights below the bumpers, better cooling aided by an enlarged 'mouth' and twin electric fans together with uprated brakes are all hallmarks of Series II cars. The engine is easily identified visually by the change from smooth polished cam covers to a more industrial 'ribbed' appearance. The interior and dashboard were also redesigned with rocker switches being substituted for toggle switches. The dashboard switches also lost their symmetrical layout.This very good Series II Jaguar E-Type roadster has been in long term ownership with the last owner buying the car in January 1988. According to the letter attached to the sales agreement the previous owner purchased the Jaguar in 1976 with a recorded mileage of 38,000 miles and it was fitted with a new bonnet and repainted. The letter also states that in 1980 the rear suspension, brakes and differential were overhauled, in 1984 the cylinder head and gearbox were rebuilt and in the summer of 1987 the car was completely repainted, and a new rear bumper fitted. Supplied with the car is a file of invoices and which shows that it was re-trimmed in 2007 and major engine work was carried out by marque specialists Thomas Barclay Ltd in 2013. Shortly after it was MoT'd in August 2014 the car was placed into dry storage where it has remained until very recently. At the time of being catalogued the Jaguar has been checked through and the engine started. This very good 1970 Jaguar E-Type roadster is finished in Old English White with dark blue leather and matching dark blue cloth hood. The car is supplied with a V5C registration document and a file containing past invoices, old registration documents and some old MoT test certificates. This Jaguar is being sold with the cherished number plate 275 CAT with a value of £4,000.

1971 Aston Martin DBS V8 Banham Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:79500With the demise of the DB6 Mk. II Volante in 1970, Aston Martin were not able to offer a convertible motorcar until 1977 with the introduction of the V8 Volante. This presented a niche in the market; there are always wealthy customers with a desire for something unique and unusual. Paul Banham and his company, Banham Conversions (Banmoco) became well known for their cabriolet conversions on Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Daimler and Jaguar cars. The company was perhaps most noted for their stylish conversion on the Jaguar XJ-S. Sadly the company went out of business in 2004.This lovely example is presented in British Racing Green with a beige leather interior and matching beige hood. Its iconic V8 engine is mated to a manual gearbox and it has electric windows and a radio. The car has a nice history going as far back as 1984, which also includes a list of the owners and the years it exchanged hands. The present owner bought this rare DBS V8 Aston Martin in 1989 and it was at that time the car was sent to Banham Motors Ltd to be converted to a soft top when the mileage was 74,978. The car was stored from 1991 to 2022 in an air conditioned unit and was recommissioned by Slark Motors in Bristol in 2023. It had its outer wheel lips power coated and the car was polished to the condition it is shown today which looks fabulous. These are rare cars indeed and with the Banham conversion and manual gearbox, this particular Aston Martin DBS is very sought-after and turns heads wherever it is driven.

1989 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible (5.3 litre) Transmission: automaticMileage:19569The Jaguar XJS was first launched in 1975, in the year that Margaret Thatcher was made the leader of the Conservative Party and petrol was 70p/gallon. The new grand tourer from Jaguar was introduced as the replacement for the iconic E-Type, which had been in production for the previous 14 years. During an astonishing build run of 21 years, 115,413 XJS units were produced by the Coventry manufacturer at their world-famous Browns Lane factory. Cars fitted with V12 engines were unusual at the time with notable exceptions coming from Italian luxury sportscar makers Lamborghini and Ferrari. The specifications of the XJS compared well with both Italian cars; it was able to accelerate to 60mph in 7.6 seconds and had a top speed of 143mph. The XJS model was available until production ceased in 1996.This example is one of the most desirable with the 5.3 litre V12 engine and being a convertible which is presented in Arctic Blue; one of the very best XJS colours. The car has covered a total of 70,702 miles with a speedometer change in 1998 at 51,033 miles which is documented in the service book. The car presents well, wearing its 34 years with pride. Some pitting is showing on the rear chrome bumper, but a replacement is supplied with the car. The blue soft top presents well and fits tightly. Moving inside, the grey leather seats are presenting well with minimal wear. The service book shows no fewer than 19 stamps, all from Jaguar main dealers and specialists. The stamps are present up until 2000, at 66,000 miles, translating to the fact that the car has only covered around 4,000 miles since.The Jaguar XJS has really come into its own over the past few years, with the best examples starting to set record prices, this particular example is being offered without reserve and will be an excellent modern classic for its next owner.Interested parties should note that the car is not supplied with a replacement bumper as stated in the description.
Lot 159
1954 Jaguar XK120 SE Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:58682The Jaguar XK120 was manufactured between 1948 and 1954; Jaguar's first sports car since the SS100, which ceased production in 1940. The XK120 was launched in roadster form at the 1948 London Motor Show as a show car for the new Jaguar XK engine. It caused a sensation thus persuading Jaguar founder and design boss William Lyons to put the car into production. The '120' in its name referred to its 120mph top speed which made the XK120 the world's fastest standard production car at the time of its launch. It was available in two open versions; first as the roadster then also as a drophead coupé from 1953 and also as a closed, or 'fixedhead' coupé from 1951. With an alloy cylinder head and twin side-draft SU carburettors, the double overhead-cam 3.4 litre straight-six XK engine was comparatively advanced for mass-produced units of its time. This same basic design of the XK engine, later modified into 3.8 litre and 4.2 litre versions, survived late into the 1980s.This left hand drive Jaguar was originally sent to California from new and repatriated to the UK in 1964. Upon its return, this XK120 SE was put into storage for many years. A renovation was carried out paying great attention to keeping the car as original as possible. It was repainted in the original colour scheme and although the seats have been changed to more comfortable bucket type seats, the originals are included with the car, although they will need restoring. The engine was rebuilt at 55,548 miles and as this is an SE specification vehicle it has a C-Type cylinder head offering a better performance. A new Mohair hood comes with the car, along with newly refurbished sidescreens. The fastidious and knowledgeable vendor has owned this matching numbers XK120 since January 2014 and has enjoyed the car immensely. It has been thoroughly maintained, largely by himself and again the focus was always using original parts wherever possible, subject to availability. Presenting in good order throughout, this is a very nice genuine and useable example. Supplied with a V5C registration document, a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, a detailed history of the renovation and a good history folder. This 67 year old Jaguar has only had three previous keepers and is ready to be used and enjoyed by a new owner as much as it has been by its current owners.
Lot 229
1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III Roadster Transmission: automaticMileage:30762The E-Type Series III was introduced in 1971, with a new 5.3 litre, V12 engine, uprated brakes, and power steering as standard. Optionally, an automatic transmission, wire wheels and air conditioning were available. The brand new V12 engine produced 272bhp, had increased torque, and a 0-60mph time of less than seven seconds, which was phenomenal for the price of the car at that time, considering its competition in the marketplace. The short wheelbase fixedhead coupé body style was discontinued, with the Series III available only as a roadster or 2+2 coupé. The newly used longer wheelbase now offered significantly more room in all directions. These models were easily identifiable by the large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tyres and a badge on the rear that proudly proclaims it to be a V12. It is thought that only 7,990 convertibles and 7,297 fixedhead cars were produced.This particular example was originally supplied by Mamos Queensbury in Middlesex and has been in the care of our vendor's family since around 2005. The car was such a cherished possession to them that they chose to export it to Australia with them in 2007, then bring it back to the UK again in 2016. The car shows an odometer reading of less than 31,000 miles, which our vendor believes could very likely be the genuine mileage. General wear points such as pedals and seats look to be original and in very good condition. Since the cars arrival back to the UK, it has been regularly serviced by Powerbell Services and has only required general servicing, never requiring any major attention. The vendor reports that the car drives beautifully but just has not been getting the use it deserves in the past few years, so he feels it is time for someone else to enjoy the car.This car comes with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate which confirms the car retains its original engine and factory specification of white coachwork over a black interior with an automatic gearbox. The hood fits tightly, the interior is in excellent condition and the chromework has a good shine. The paintwork, quite possibly original, is showing a few minor cracks in places but the overall appearance is very good and the car wears its 50 years with pride. Offered to auction with a very sensible estimate, this E-Type could be the perfect long-legged summer cruiser.Interested parties should note that the car is supplied with a copy of the latest V5C but a new one has been applied for by the vendor.
Lot 108
1965 Jaguar Mk. II (3.4 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:1904Synonymous with the swinging 60s and the hit TV Series Inspector Morse, the Mk. II was undoubtedly the most admired Saloon to emanate from Jaguar's hallowed Browns Lane factory. Featuring notably slimmer roof pillars than its Mk. I predecessor, the immortal Mk. II was as airy on the inside as it was elegant on the outside. The interior was quintessentially British with its sumptuous leather-covered seats, polished wood facia and door cappings, extensive instrumentation and impressive row of auxiliary toggle switches. These cars punched well above their weight. Equipped with either a 3.4 or 3.8 litre engine, the Jaguar was capable of sprinting to 60mph in as little as 8.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 125mph, small wonder that it was the first choice of both bank robbers and the police of the period!This iconic Jaguar model has been in its enthusiast owner's possession since February 1980. Presenting well in grey paintwork with a grey leather interior, this Jaguar Mk. II was originally registered in May 1965 and has been well cared for. The vendor informs us that he has recently rebuilt the engine, fitting new pistons, timing chain and clutch. He also tells us that this Jaguar is fitted with power steering, upgraded front brake calipers, upgraded servo, an electric fan and is a joy to drive. The front seats have been retrimmed and the back seats would benefit from some attention. Presented to auction with a file containing various bills and receipts, previous MoT test certificates and a V5C registration document, this MoT exempt Jaguar is offered without reserve.
Lot 192
1962 Jaguar Mk. X Transmission: automaticMileage:45823The Jaguar Mk. X was the top of the range saloon car built by the British manufacturer primarily aimed at the United States market. The unitary construction bodyshell was codenamed 'Zenith' during development and this floor pan continued in production long after Mk. X production ended, as the DS420 Limousine. The interior was the last Jaguar with abundant standard woodwork, including the dashboard, escutcheons, window trim, a pair of large book-matched fold-out rear picnic tables and a front seat pull-out picnic table stowed beneath the instrument cluster. Later, air conditioning and a sound-proof glass division between the front and rear seats were available as options. The Mk. X was the first Jaguar saloon to feature independent rear suspension and differed from earlier large Jaguar saloons in having 14 wheels instead of the more common 15. The front suspension used double wishbones with coil springs and telescopic dampers. The car initially featured a 3,781cc version of Jaguar's XK in-line, six-cylinder engine. For the London Motor Show in October 1964, the enlarged 4,235cc unit took over although the 3.8 litre unit could still be specified until October 1965. Many domestic market cars and almost all cars destined for the important North American markets left the factory with a Borg Warner automatic gearbox. Stopping power for this heavy car came from servo assisted disc brakes on all four wheels; power assisted steering was standard.The current owner purchased this fabulous Jaguar on 2nd November 2003 with a recorded mileage of 43,194 miles; the car at the time was not on the road and needed a bit of attention to get through an MoT. Once MoT'd he used the car for just over a year and then decided to either to sell it or restore it. The latter decision was made and the stripping of the Jaguar commenced which he has captured on the two CD discs that are in the history file for the new owner to have as a record. Once the car was stripped, it was sent to the bodyshop to be prepared and painted, while this process was being achieved the woodwork was sent to be restored and all the seats, door cards, rear parcel shelf and front under shelf were sent to be retrimmed. To complete this work, six hides of red leather were used to completely retrim the car which, as can be seen, has turned out to be absolutely stunning. Once the car was returned from painting, the rebuild began with the headlining being completed first and then the refurbished woodwork being pieced back together, firstly around the headlining and then down the pillars, the dashboard was next which took quite a while with regards to the refitting of the clocks and gauges and after this, the rear picnic tables were fitted, therefore, completing this stage. Brand new carpets were fitted which were supplied by BAS of Newport again this was quite fiddly especially around the sills and the centre console but was eventually achieved. All chromework was then refitted to the car which included door handles, bumpers, front and rear lights, roof chrome, new rear boot chrome, new front grille and then bonnet chrome. Once completed the seats were fitted and then all door cards, centre console with a brand-new period radio which has Bluetooth etc, rear parcel shelf and any other areas were finished off with the leather trim. Finally, the boot was retrimmed to match the red interior of the car which gives a much nicer look than the usual Jaguar biscuit colour. After completion of the rebuild, the carburettors were completely restored and a brand-new stainless-steel exhaust system was fitted and the radiator then received a re-core, all new water hoses, water pump, thermostat and a brand-new set of ignition leads and plugs followed by an electronic ignition set to finish off. The present vendor has had the pleasure of owning the vehicle for nearly 20 years of which 14 were restoring this magnificent vehicle and as you can see the car now has a recorded mileage of 45,823 miles, this means the car has only covered 2,629 miles in his ownership. This is a simply stunning example of this British classic and surely must be one of the finest available.

1946 Jaguar Mk. IV Transmission: manualMileage:39759The 1945-1948 Jaguar Mk. IV was Jaguar's first car after World War II and was essentially continuations of the 1938-39 models. Very few of these cars were built for the right hand drive markets as steel was being rationed for goods for export. The origin of the name is rather odd since, back in 1948, there had been no Mk. I to IV Jaguars; the Mk. IV designation was only given to the predecessor after the launch of the Mk. V to make identification easier. Most were four-door saloons and all shared the same bodyshell except for the 1.5 litre model which had a six inch shorter wheelbase and had a four instead of six-cylinder engine. This was the first car to bear the legendary Jaguar name after 1945 (SS having been dropped for understandable marketing reasons after the war) and the Mk. IV Jaguar is felt by many to be the epitome of British car design of its era. The huge chrome headlamps, sweeping wings and running boards, luxurious leather interior, French polished wood all speak of style and opulence.This example, when purchased by the vendor was used on a regular basis. However, the car was taken off the road around 15 years ago and dry stored. We are advised the 3½ litre engine runs and the car drives although some recommissioning will be required. The bodywork is in relatively good order and the interior appears original with a delightful patina. The toolkit in the rear boot lid is intact, although there are some items missing, not surprising as the car is 77 years old. Supplied with a V5C registration document, this rare and interesting Jaguar Mk. IV represents an opportunity for an enthusiast to improve the car and enjoy the pleasure of owning a 1940s classic.

1965 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster (4.2 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:21265Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore. Its combination of supercar performance, superb styling and a low-price tag left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. Built as a monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension (torsion-bar front/coil-sprung rear) rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent road holding and handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head, its indomitable 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft of torque. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox, it reputedly enabled the low-slung two-seater to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph. While any E-Type roadster is desirable, the lithesome free-revving 3.8 litre cars enjoy a particularly exalted status; however, the later Series I, 4.2 litre was a better engine. Coming from a large private collection and long-term ownership, the Jaguar E-Type on offer here is a genuine UK supplied, matching numbers, manual gearbox car. Unusual in the vendor's collection, he has held onto this car for the past twenty years and is now only selling to free up money and space for a new project. Maintained by both his own two full time mechanics and Malcolm Collinson Restorations in Farnham, Surrey, the car has wanted for nothing and always been dry stored in his purpose built, carpeted 60 car garage. Described as the only one of his cars his wife actually enjoys going out in, the 4.2 litre Series I car is known in E-Type circles as being the best balance in terms of drivability, comfort and looks. The vendor reports the car to run and drive very well and is torn at the idea of moving it on to a new custodian, but has decided to let it go and be enjoyed by someone else. Supplied with a V5C registration document, maintenance and service handbook, many MoT test certificates and invoices for work carried out by Malcolm Collinson. The best E-Type, in the best specification and from a long term, loving home. What more could a passionate new E-Type owner ask for?

2004 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Transmission: automaticMileage:67338The Mercedes-Benz R129 models were produced from 1989 through to 2001 and were sold under the SL Class model names. The R129 replaced the R107 SL Class in 1989 and was subsequently replaced by the R230 in 2001. The R129 was based on the shortened floorpan of the Mercedes-Benz W124 saloon and featured many innovative details for the time. The R129 came to public attention in 1991 when Diana, Princess of Wales, sold her Jaguar XJS to lease a J-registration, metallic red 500 SL, becoming the first member of the royal family to use a foreign car. This controversy sparked a media storm as it was questioned whether a member of British royalty should drive foreign cars. The fifth generation of the legendary SL series of two-door convertible sports cars made by Mercedes-Benz was known as the R230. It featured a fully retractable hardtop that was marketed as the Vario Roof; a first for the SL Class although it had been available on the smaller SLK model since 1997.Originally registered on 8th June 2004, this Mercedes-Benz presents very well. With the modest mileage of 67,338 the 4966cc engine is barely run in. Finished in silver with a black leather interior, this SL500 is supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 16th February 2024. The SL500 is a well-appointed Mercedes with air conditioning, electric windows, cruise control and heated seats all as standard equipment. In addition to the above these great looking cars offer flexibility with a retractable hardtop and at the push of a button, convertible motoring.

2000 Daimler V8 Transmission: automaticMileage:82936The Jaguar XJ (X308) is an evolution of the outgoing X300 platform; the exterior styling is nearly identical between the two generations with the major change the introduction of Jaguar's AJ-V8 as the only available engine. The top-of-the-range Daimler marque also sold as the Vanden Plas model in certain markets and features softer suspension and all available luxury features. Cosmetically differentiated by the traditional Daimler fluted radiator grille surround and fluted boot-lid plinth.Originally registered on 14th June 2000 this Daimler presents beautifully in Topaz with Cream leather trim. These exceedingly well-appointed cars have a great specification including air conditioning, electric seats, heated seats front and rear, electric sunroof, cruise control and parking sensors. Comfort of the rear seats is further enhanced by picnic tables. We are advised by the vendor that W184 BKN drives well with no known faults. There is a collection of invoices with the car and the engine was replaced in 2019. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 2nd December 2023 this Daimler V8 epitomises luxury in the way you would expect from such a premium marque.

2009 Jaguar X-Type Estate Ex-HM Queen Elizabeth II Transmission: automaticMileage:72975The Jaguar X-Type is a front-engine, all-wheel/front-wheel drive compact executive car manufactured and marketed from 2001 to 2009. In addition to offering Jaguar's first estate in series production, the X-Type would ultimately introduce its first diesel engine, four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive configuration.The X-Type was developed during the period when Jaguar was owned by Ford as a division of its Premier Automotive Group (PAG) (1999-2009) and marked Jaguar's entry into the critical compact executive segment. The estate was the first Jaguar model designed by Ian Callum. From its saloon counterpart, the design revised 420 tooled parts and 58 stampings for all components rearward of the windscreen, adding 150 pounds.This fantastic piece of Royal history is presented in Emerald Fire with Barley leather interior and the first owner was HM Queen Elizabeth II. This is confirmed by its original booklet stating its registration as PYN IF which can also be seen in photos with HM the Queen at the wheel. It comes with a sunroof, automatic transmission, electric windows, climate control, a good service history, Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate and has been well maintained. The Royal Family might have a long history with Bentley state limousines, but they love Jaguars as well. Although the late Queen Elizabeth II was seen behind the wheel of several cars during her long reign, her favourite seems to be the Land Rover Defender. She had a particular liking for this model, but when that was unavailable, she had a back-up car, a Jaguar X-Type Estate. In the pictures available on the internet, you can see HM Queen Elizabeth II driving this very car with Her Majesty wearing sunglasses and a headscarf/hat which was so typical. She looked happy and healthy, leaving Windsor Castle behind her and at the wheel of the Jaguar, driving up the Long Walk. From 2004 to 2009, the X-Type Estate wasn't among the most desirable models the brand ever built but who would have thought this would be one of Queen Elizabeth II's go-to vehicles? It came with two fuel options and the biggest engine, though, was petrol. It was a 3.0 litre V6 engine, which was the option Queen Elizabeth II had for this particular car. This Jaguar was purchased from one of our previous auctions for the sole reason to be then sold for Comic Relief and raise money for charity which it did to the tune of £300,000. The present owner won the car and is now selling it and has generously decided to offer a percentage of the proceeds to Great Ormand Street hospital for sick children. This surely is a car for the serious collector or Royalist and with a provenance which is impossible to match, this is unique! Please note that the private registration that you may have seen online or viewed in any publications is not being sold with the car.Photos of the Queen credited to Jim Bennett

2002 DAX Tojeiro Transmission: manualMileage:14000The hugely charismatic DAX Cobra has remained the undisputed market leader for more than 25 years and has steadily established itself as a much sought after classic sports car in its own right. The car's enduring popularity owes much to DAX's policy of continual product improvement and painstaking attention to detail. A number of engine choices have been used from the small-block Chevrolet V8 to other popular engines including units from the Ford small block and all-aluminium Chevrolet LS ranges with Rover V8 and Jaguar units still proving highly popular with some people. It is no exaggeration to say that these cars amaze all who go out in them; harnessing the power with consummate ease and providing levels of grip, composure and ride comfort that simply have to be experienced to be believed. Even Jonathon Palmer was heard to say, 'Wow, that's just staggering!' when taking the new DAX demonstrator for a few laps around Brands Hatch; great praise indeed from an ex-F1 driver!This 2002 registered Dax presents superbly in blue with cream interior. This is a real powerhouse of a Cobra sporting a 467ci under the bonnet. The growl of this V8 is addictive and the performance needs to be experience to be fully appreciated. We are advised this Dax Tojeiro drives with no known faults and given the modest estimate, is sure to attract attention on auction day. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 19th April 2024, this car is simply stunning and would put a smile on anyone's face.

1988 BMW 635 CSi Highline Transmission: automaticMileage:33865Successor to the race proven E9 3.0CS/CSi, the BMW 6-Series was introduced in August 1976. More forgiving than its predecessors, it utilised a modified version of the 5-Series saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension and powerful disc brakes. A natural rival to the 928 and XJS, the four-seater 6-Series proved more capacious than the Porsche and sportier than the Jaguar. Immediately recognisable thanks to its distinctive 'shark nose' frontal styling and thin pillared glasshouse it boasts real road presence. An impression backed up by the various versions of BMW's mighty M30, SOHC straight-six engine fitted throughout the range. Second only to the BMW Motorsport tuned M6 version, the 635CSi's 3430cc unit developed some 216bhp and 232lbft of torque propelling it from 0-60mph in 8.4 seconds and on to 135mph.One of the best E24 BMWs we have had the pleasure to auction, beautifully finished in Cirrus Blue metallic with a full Highline extended Nappa leather interior, this example of the collectable 635 CSi Highline boasts just one previous husband and wife owner who owned and maintained the car whilst living in Jersey until 2018, they then brought the car to the UK, where we are told the car was always garaged before being sold to its current keeper. Offered with the original bill of sale and complete book pack with three sets of keys. Sitting on correct TRX wheels and the options of 'M Sport' electrically adjustable seats, air conditioning and rear blind. This example appears completely original throughout including original stickers, factory grease on hinges, original unused spare, toolkit and original first aid kit and also shows original clean 'stone chip' visible underneath and in the aches. Presented with a good service history with invoices going back to the 90s as well as recent extensive expenditure including battery tray repair, suspension work, post MoT test certificates and new correct Michelin TRX tyres which are nearly £2,000 alone. We are advised it drives wonderfully, like a five year old car, not a 35 years old one and viewing is highly recommended.
