Registration No: PAZ 3150 Chassis No: 49159 MOT: October 20251 of just 152 UK-supplied, right-hand drive examplesJust 55,000 warranted miles and five former keepers from newLarge history file including the original book pack with stamped service book in the Ferrari walletSignificant documented maintenance and improvement expense with specialistsEntered from the ownership of a long-term Ferrari Owners' Club member and multiple Ferrari ownerIntroduced at the 1976 Paris Salon, the Ferrari 400 shared the same crisp Pininfarina styling and Type F101AL tubular steel chassis frame as its 365GT4 2+2 predecessor. Powered by an enlarged 4823cc 'quad-cam' V12 engine, the occasional four-seater featured all-round independent suspension (self-levelling to the rear), power-assisted recirculating ball steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. Notable as the first Maranello product for which automatic transmission could be specified; the 400 also boasted such luxuries as Connolly hide upholstery, electric windows and optional air conditioning. Arriving in mid-1979, the 400i enjoyed greater refinement, lower emissions, and better fuel economy thanks to its adoption of Bosch K-Jetronic fuel-injection. Credited with some 310bhp and 289lbft of torque, the newcomer was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds and 149mph. A true front-engined, rear-wheel drive V12 Ferrari from the old school, the 400i remained in production until 1985, by which time some 873 automatic variants had been sold (though, just 152 of these are thought to have been to right-hand drive UK specification).Chassis number ‘49159’ was supplied new by H. R. Owen of London, being first registered on the 27th of January 1984. Finished in Blue Sera paintwork with Magnolia leather interior upholstery, the 400i was specified new with Blue hide to the dashboard and centre console. Entering into previous ownership in 2007, most recently the 400i has been in the vendor's custodianship, who is a long-term Ferrari Owners' Club member and multiple Ferrari owner. Now having covered a warranted low mileage of just 55,000 miles from new, ‘PAZ 3150’ has had only five former keepers. A ‘matching numbers’ example, the Ferrari is offered with its original torch and jack as well as a large file that includes the original book pack presented in the Ferrari wallet, including the owner’s guide and the stamped service book displaying ten entries covering the 1980s and 1990s.Additionally, included in the file are a significant number of invoices dating right back to the 1980s for expenditure with Ferrari main agents and specialists with some of the notable work with the current and previous owner, including bodywork repairs and a full repaint by TDH Classics Ltd., attention to the rear suspension and a brake overhaul. Most recently serviced less than 500 miles ago, by Kent High Performance, the 400i is due to be supplied with a fresh MOT certificate in time for sale and has a current V5C document (expires 4th October 2024). Elegantly understated and seemingly great value, this Prancing Horse is a rare opportunity with only 152 UK-supplied, right-hand-drive examples of the 400i produced.

Registration No: RJA 400N Chassis No: 1S2652 MOT: August 20251 of just 1,872 RHD examples made and fitted with the more desirable four-speed manual gearboxBenefitting from a full repaint to a very high standard in 2020Maintained and significantly improved regardless of cost by Jaguar specialists P & K Thornton Restoration 2006-2022Matching chassis and engine numbers, and presented in its original colour combinationBy 1971, Jaguar's jaw-dropping E-Type had been in production for a decade. Despite continual improvements, new emissions legislation in the all-important American market threatened to strangle the 'big cat's' performance. Jaguar responded by giving its revered sportscar fresh claws in the shape of a 5343cc V12 developed from the stillborn XJ13 Le Mans project car. The new engine was both effortlessly powerful and eerily refined. "The turbine-like smoothness with which the engine provides a sustained shove in the back is almost uncanny, the more so when one accelerates hard in top gear." (Autocar 5th July 1973). With some 272bhp and 304lbft of torque on tap, the Series III E-Type once again had 150mph in its sights. A revised wheelbase yielded better cabin space, and in conjunction with wider front/rear tracks, new anti-dive front suspension geometry and fatter tyres gave improved road holding. Imbued with a more muscular stance thanks to its flared wheel arches, re-profiled wings and larger grille, the model also boasted vented disc brakes and a restyled interior.Chassis 1S2652 was despatched new on the 29th March 1974 to the supplying dealer, Henlys of Manchester. A desirable manual gearbox example and finished from the factory in Signal Red paintwork with Biscuit leather interior upholstery and a Black hood, pleasingly this is the colour combination it still presents in today. Purchased into previous ownership in 2006, the then owner maintained the E-Type regardless of cost, entrusting the maintenance and improvements almost exclusively to well-renowned specialists P & K Thornton Restoration with the total expenditure during his ownership (2006-2022) reaching almost £61,000. Notable works during this time include a comprehensive mechanical check, refresh and service in 2021-22 costing c.£10,000; full repainting in the original colour scheme in 2020; suspension refresh in 2019; and interior re-trim during 2009, amongst much more!Offered now having covered just 68,000 miles with MOTs back to the 1990s corroborating the mileage, the E-Type is offered with a substantial history file comprising numerous invoices from the previous ownership, Jaguar Heritage Trust Heritage Certificate, a large collection of previous MOTs, a current no advisory MOT until August 2025, and a V5C document showing just five former keepers. Boasting matching chassis and engine numbers, this notably well-presented V12 Roadster started readily, and both ran and drove excellently during the recent photography session. Completed many a successful long-distance trip during the vendor's ownership, the E-Type is due to be driven to the sale, and has much to recommend it.

Registration No: JLO 110K Chassis No: 1S50350 MOT: ExemptOne of just 2,116 right-hand drive examples and fitted with the desirable manual gearboxMatching chassis and engine numbersSubject of a full professional restoration in 2010 in its original colour combinationOffered with a history file including the Jaguar Heritage CertificateLast of the line, the Jaguar E-type Series III was introduced in 1971. Longer, wider and more comfortable than its predecessors, the newcomer blurred the lines between sports car and grand tourer. Powered by a turbine-smooth all-alloy SOHC 5343cc V12 engine allied to either Jaguar four-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission, the refined manner in which it performed (contemporary road tests spoke of 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds and 150mph) simply blew road testers away. Benefiting from a broader track, ventilated disc brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and Lucas transistorised ignition, the Series III was visually distinguished by its 'egg-crate' grille, flared wheel arches and purposeful quad-exhaust pipes. Available in fixed-head coupe (2+2-seater) or roadster (2-seater) guises, it remained in volume production until 1974 (though, a special commemorative run of forty-nine black-painted roadsters was released the following year).Chassis number ‘1S50350’ was dispatched new on the 17th of September 1971 to the supplying dealer, Charles Follett, London W1, and thereafter was sold to the first owner, a Mrs K. Gaze. Finished from new in Light Blue paintwork with a Dark Blue interior upholstery, pleasingly the colour scheme in which it is still presented today. Desirable for being both a manual gearbox car and a matching numbers example, ‘JLO 110K’ was lavished with a comprehensive restoration in 2010 including a full bodywork renovation with the bodywork stripped and restored with a focus upon saving as much of the original metal work as possible. More recently benefitting from a fuel system refresh in 2017, and full servicing with new spark plugs as well as rear exhaust box and tailpipes in 2022.Starting readily and both running and driving very well during the recent photography session, the Jaguar is offered with a credible recorded mileage of 81,500 miles on the odometer. Accompanied by a history file comprising the JHT Heritage Certificate, a collection of invoices and previous MOTs, a maintenance chart, operating, maintenance and service handbook, ownership history, and a current V5C document. UK-supplied, manual gearbox, matching numbers examples are highly desirable E-Types and with this V12 Coupe being all of these and having been provided a full restoration in its original colour scheme is certainly one to consider.

The various characters portrayed in this pack include: Chinois, Cadet Roussel, Robinson Crusoe, Negre, Don Quixote, Colombine, and others. The miniature court cards show single figure jacks, but the kings and queens are busts of named French royalty.
