Registration No: BD 371 Chassis No: 24850 MOT: ExemptPresented in 'garage find' condition having not been seen publicly since the 1970sUnderstood to be in exceptionally well preserved original orderPreviously part of the James H. Farr collectionPresented with original UK registration number and showing only one keeper since 1938Known history within single-cylinder Cadillac circles and presented with a period photographThe first Cadillac, the Model A was launched at the New York Motor Show in 1903. Three cars were finished in time for the show, and by the time it was closed, all three were sold at the show and by mid-week orders had been taken for 2,286 further units, each one requiring a deposit of 10 Dollars. Designed initially as a two-seater 'horseless carriage', the Cadillac was at first powered by a 10hp single cylinder engine developed by Alanson Partridge Brush that was renowned for reliability and the car was built by the Leland and Falconer Manufacturing company of Detroit, Michigan. The hardy single cylinder Cadillac was continued even when the company began building four-cylinder models, which culminated in the Model S and Model T of 1908, for which there was little difference between the two other than the Model T lacked running boards. The Model S and T replaced the Model K and Model M with the main difference being an extension in wheelbase to 82 inches. In 1909, the single cylinder Cadillac was discontinued when it was decided to standardise the range with the four-cylinder Model 30.Understood to have been built in 1908, according to the VCC dating letter on file, 'BD 371' is thought to have been imported to the UK by Cadillac concessionaires, F.S Bennett when new. Little is known of the early history of the car, apart from a photograph dated to the 1920s which was recently shown to us via the internet. According to the buff log book on file, in 1938 the car was owned by a Mr Richard Baiwwie. It is thought that shortly afterwards that Mr James H Farr, who owned the Wardie garage in Ediburgh until the 1960s, purchased the car as part of his private museum. Mr Farr is understood to have kept the Cadillac until the mid-1970s, when the car is understood to have been purchased by the current owner, Mr Lapwood, from an auction for Mr Farr's estate - which also included the Rolls Royce 20hp which is also offered for sale at the Duxford Imperial War Museum. Sold to the current owner as a 1904 model, there are some humourous letters on file from the late 1970s demanding the reimbursement of his investment - but for whatever reason Mr Lapwood kept the car for many years afterwards. An MOT on file suggests the car was running as recently as 1980, however the car has been off the road for a number of years and is now in need of recommissioning or restoration. Unfortunately, Mr Lapwood's health has deteoriated to the point where his family have now decided to sell the collection of vehicles that he has, as he is unable to manage them himself.Upon our inspection, we noted that the bodywork appeared very solid and that the storage garage was notably dry and has thankfully preserved the car very well indeed. The wheels roll freely and the engine also is unseized. Sold strictly as viewed on a No Reserve basis, 'BD 371' is the perfect opportunity for mild recommissioning and is eligible for a number of VCC events.

Registration No: CTY 917V Chassis No: 2W87K9L143975 MOT: ExemptOnly two owners since 1984, both keeping the car in carpeted garagesExtensively improved mechanically in the ‘Resto-Mod’ style, keeping the bodywork and interior as originalEstimated £15,000 worth of parts expenditure aloneMatching chassis and engine numbersNow surely the best driving Trans Am extant!As far as iconic movie cars go there are few more instantly recognisable than the Pontiac Firebird from the 1977 film 'Smokey and the Bandit'. The Firebird was one of the jewels of GM’s crown and enjoyed a thirty-five year production run, with the Trans Am immediately bringing memories of tyre smoke, nostalgia, and CB radio handles. With the first iteration developed as direct competition for the ubiquitous Ford Mustang, with the concept of being a striking, front-engined, rear-wheel drive muscle car, very much continuing throughout its production, as did the ability to spec your Firebird with a plethora of options. In 1969, the Firebird saw the introduction of the Trans Am 'performance' and 'appearance' packages as factory options which included power, handling, and suspension upgrades as well as a more exclusive paint schemes and some styling accoutrements. Named after the American race series, the Trans Am name would continue to feature throughout the car’s lifespan.Manufactured in 1979, the Trans Am offered is a matching chassis and engine numbers example with the 6.6 -litre V8 403ci engine. An original T-top car, it was supplied new to California, however only remained there for a year before reaching UK shores in 1980. Purchased by the vendor in 2006 from a previous owner who had owned the Trans Am since 1984, the vendor embarked on extensive enhancements in the ‘Resto-Mod’ ethos, keeping the bodywork and interior as original with a view to making the best driving Trans Am in the country. With around £15,000 of expenditure on parts alone, some of the parts supplied have included bespoke 18-inch two-piece YearOne alloy wheels with Michelin pilot sport four tyres, B&M shifter, cold case aluminium radiator, Powermaster starter motor and alternator, K&N air filter, Taylor ignition leads, Edelbrock intake manifold and cam, NGK spark plugs, Moroso valve covers, American Racing headers, bespoke exhaust system hand made using a Pypes X-Pipe and Karnage mufflers, and Ridetech adjustable front and rear shocks and steering kit. Extensive Detroit Speed parts have been supplied too with body bushes, sway bar, front and rear springs, upper and lower A-Arms, and camber kit all fitted, and finally the Trans Am received an Optima Red Top battery, all hoses replaced, and the underside Waxoyled.The original Tan cloth interior has been complemented by a Kenwood head unit with CD changer and has been fitted with new door rubbers. Boasting lots of original features, the Firebird has its original spare wheel and jacking kit, T-top bags, boot matting, and has an uncracked dashboard, likely due to living in the United Kingdom since being a year old. The glovebox has been signed by Richard Rawlings of Gas Monkey Garage and Fast N' Loud fame with a photo of the signing. Completing tours of Amsterdam, Belgium and Wales during the vendor’s ownership, the vendor notes the car has been totally reliable and all the gauges work. Offered with a history file that includes a large collection of invoices for maintenance at AutoPontiac, numerous previous MOT certificates supporting the c.88,000 miles as genuine, many other invoices and a current V5C document. Epitomising the ‘Resto-Mod’ ethos significantly improving the drive while keeping the bodywork and interior original, the vendor believes he has created the best driving Trans Am in the country, and the Pontiac started readily and drove excellently during our recent photography session.

Registration No: UWR 7N Chassis No: 73061438L MOT: Exemptc.350 miles since an extensive restorationRestored with a new chassisDesriable 'S' 130/5 modelFinished in Roman Purple MetallicThe Elan 2 was revealed to the world in 1962 with a 1500cc engine and a four-speed gearbox in a small and stylish 2-seater roadster form. The Plus 2 (code-named M20) was introduced in 1967 and had arguably better proportions than the 'baby' Elan. In 1971 the +2S 130 was launched with the Lotus 'Twin Cam' engine, providing an improved 126bhp hence the “130” model suffix. It produced a maximum torque of 113lb/ft at 5,500 rpm, providing plenty of power to fully enjoy this lightweight and useable family sports car. The +2S 130 was an appreciable step up in quality with a raft of luxury fittings from quartz halogen fog lights to burr walnut facia and electric windows. In October 1972 the long-called for 5-speed gearboxes finally arrived as an option, to make cruising smoother, and the Lotus Elan +2S 130/5 became ‘the’ version to have.First registered with the DVLA on 1st August 1974, this ‘S’ 130/5 iteration of the Elan +2 Coupe is finished in Roman Purple Metallic (L21) with an Oatmeal interior. Displaying some 58,700 miles with three previous documented owners only, the car was previously restored in a ‘5 year, no expense spared, total rebuild’, completed in September 2020 at a recorded mileage of c.58,347. The body was stripped bare then sent off to the paint shop where it was taken back to the gel coat, any repairs made then sprayed in Roman Purple Metallic. Completing 350 miles since, it remains in ‘as built’ condition.Mechanically, the list of work is extensive. A new Lotus designed chassis was ordered with all additional stiffening as per the Lotus 26R design. The chassis was professionally cold zinc sprayed then sprayed in Grey. For additional protection the chassis was then given a final coat of POR 15 in Silver. The sill members were replaced with stainless steel box section items together with seat belt mounting points. The sill closing plates under the wheel arches were also replaced with stainless steel units.The front suspension was overhauled, wishbones powder coated, and new poly bushes fitted throughout. New TTR adjustable shocks and uprated springs were fitted with adjustable ride height, new bearings etc. The rear suspension was overhauled with new oval section 'A' frames from Spyder, poly bushes fitted, TTR adjustable shocks and uprated springs with adjustable ride height. The steering rack was inspected and a new solid U/J fitted. The steering column was repainted.The engine was overhauled by John Smurthwaite at 'JSMotorsport' to Q360 sport spec. The head was cleaned, tested, skimmed and ported. The head was then fitted with all new guides, seats, valves and followers, the head was fitted with Q360 cams, new bearings and shimmed. The cams were fitted with vernier sprockets. The engine was also built with a new block, new pistons, a reground crank and all new bearings; new chain, tensioners etc fitted; the sump has been baffled to eliminate oil surge; there was a new front cover (Burton design) with a removable water pump cartridge; new fuel pump, new high torque starter, distributor fully rebuilt by 'Distributor Doctor' and Luminition Optronic ignition fitted; new plug leads; twin Dellorto carbs stripped, professionally cleaned, rebuilt and re-jetted for Q360 spec.; stainless braided fuel pipes fitted; K&N filter fitted. There’s a new stainless steel exhaust; the back box was hand-made and is a copy of the 'Pico' box as fitted to the last of the +2s - it is also in stainless and reportedly sounds beautiful. The 5-speed Lotus gearbox fitted, was purchased, overhauled and then inspected at Alan Voight gearboxes, Birkenhead, before fitting. A new clutch has been fitted along with new thrust and spigot bearings, new slave and master clutch cylinders with stainless braided pipe. The differential unit was stripped, inspected, cleaned and rebuilt with new bearings and thrust washers. New TTR steel billet output shafts have been fitted, rubber donuts replaced with new Kelvedon twin U/J’s with sliding splines.The brake system has been fully overhauled, the front and rear calipers professionally rebuilt; fitted with new grooved discs, Greenstuff pads and new handbrake pads; copper brake tube throughout with stainless connections and stainless braided flexible hoses; a new master cylinder and professionally rebuilt servo; new handbrake cable and upgraded fully adjustable rear handbrake rods. The cooling system has a new TTR alloy full-width radiator and electric thermostatically controlled fan. All hoses are silicon and the system is filled via a Clive modified thermostat housing. The system is filled with waterless coolant.The vehicle has had a total rewire with all new harnesses; a new uprated alternator is fitted; new windscreen wiper motor and system; new relays; new headlamp solenoid; new headlamps; new side/indicator lamps; door window motors overhauled; rear lamp clusters and number plate lamps overhauled; all gauges stripped, cleaned, painted and fitted with new bezels and rubber seals. The new dash is fitted with a new set of switches. A period Philips Turnolock radio is fitted and a modern stereo unit is fitted in the glove box. The interior heater box was disassembled, powder-coated and reassembled with new seals and a new 2-speed motor. The petrol tank was stripped and cleaned and painted in Black POR 15 and new stainless straps fitted. The petrol tank has a modified breather system which uses a stainless braided hose linked into the filler neck. A single small diameter hose then loops over the cabin and exits under the car, alleviating any petrol smells.The interior is in a very original specification and in overall very good condition. A new dash has been fitted together with a new roof lining. The carpets are wool and were tailor-made to original spec and then edge-bound. A new pair of chrome coat hooks has been fitted.The body has been fitted with all-new badges; both bumpers and window frames have been re-chromed; a new lockable petrol filler, new door locks and handles; all new quarter-light rubbers and channels fitted together with side window rubber and felt seals; a new rear screen rubber seal and the front screen re-bonded with new Silver trim. Lastly, the Elan has been fitted with the Spyder 'Minilite'-style peg drive 14" x 6" alloy wheels shod with Dunlop 185 x 65 x 14 tyres. This gives the same rolling circumference as the original fitment and the speedo reads spot on.Accompanied by a current V5C Registration Document, this is an opportunity to own an Elan +2S with a recently completed extensive restoration.

Registration No: G633 ULG Chassis No: GKALKE42019 MOT: April 2025Offered with the original document pack with lots of receiptsc.65,700 miles and 5-speed manual gearboxGood roof, but with a rare new spare Red soft-top in caseTwo-tone special edition XR3i CabrioletLaunched alongside the rest of the Escort MkIII range in September 1980, the XR3 was an instant success (accounting for a reported 11,000 sales during the following year). Intended as a rival to the Volkswagen Golf GTi, its monocoque bodyshell (complete with 'aerodeck' hatchback) boasted all round independent suspension (Macpherson strut front / trailing-arm rear) and disc / drum brakes. Powered by a 1597cc OHC four-cylinder engine mated to four-speed manual transmission (five-speed from February 1982 onwards), it proved quick but unruly. Conscious that the planned introduction of fuel injection would bring yet more speed, Ford charged its SVE (Special Vehicle Engineering) department with taming the hot hatch's wayward handling. Begun in October 1981 and overseen by Ron Mansfield, the XR3i project bore fruit in just fifteen months. Unveiled in January 1983, the revised model featured - as its name implied - Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection. Credited with developing 105bhp and 101lbft of torque, the Fast Ford was reputedly capable of 120mph and 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds. Built in Saarlouis (Germany), it boasted a more comfortable ride as well as better road manners courtesy of its lowered / recalibrated suspension. Distinguished like its forebear by 'cloverleaf' alloys and a prominent tailgate lip spoiler, the XR3i captured the imagination of a generation. A cult car among 'boy racers' of all ages, it is still prized to this day.One of the two-tone special edition XR3i Cabriolets offered towards the end of the MkIV model range, these special editions were produced in body colours of Gold, Blue or Red. This attractive example is Flambeau Red over Moonstone Grey with a Paprika Red hood. This example displays some 65,700 miles and has often been exhibited at classic car shows and events. Described by the vendor as being in ‘absolutely superb condition with an exceptional interior’, we are advised it has been regularly serviced and maintained, indeed, it was fully serviced with a new cambelt fitted within the last 200 miles and has just been fitted with a new battery plus an MOT certificate into April 2025 with no-advisories.Back in the day, the mouth-watering top specification included: Central locking; half Leather Recaro seats; electric roof with glass rear window; heated windscreen and rear window; half tonneau; electric front windows; tinted glass; a rear spoiler; electric aerial; body-coloured electric and heated mirrors; driving lights; alloy wheels; mudflaps and an immobiliser.It is offered with the original document pack, lots of receipts and a new replacement Red roof, described by the vendor as being ‘an inspired purchase given the challenge and cost of finding another when it is eventually needed’.

Registration No: V445 DBC Chassis No: SDKRLKRXCX0021566 MOT: June 2025Factory built and re-painted to match the first owner's then Ferrari in Grigio TitanioReputedly 1 of just 9 VX Supersprints made and festooned with extrasFull rollcage, Bilstein adjustable suspension all round, plumbed-in fire extinguisher, high-backed bucket seats with harnesses, lightweight interior trim, carbon fibre wing guards etcCharacterful Vauxhall / Holden 8-valve four-cyliner engine (believed to displace 1.8 litres) fed by twin Weber carburettors and allied to five-speed manual transmission (with a long first gear).Full weather equipment: doors, full length tonneau and hood (the latter fitting over the rollcage)Super rare and super fun!PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been told that ‘V445 DBC’ was professionally built by Caterham Midlands (then trading as the Classic Carriage Company of Mallory Park) as a Classic VX Supersprint model but with a 1.6 litre 8-valve engine (and not a 1.8 litre unit as previously thought). Therefore, it is not one of the nine 1.8 litre Supersprint models but remains an unusually well specified example. We are further informed that the powerplant has been fettled by Scholar Racing Engines in the past and the gearbox refurbished etc. The Caterham now possess a MOT Certificate valid until June 2025.Launched in 1957, the Lotus 7 was essentially a racing car for the road. Available in both fully assembled and kit forms, the two-seater was a simple but very effective design. Its elegant spaceframe chassis instantly transformed the dynamics of the most humdrum saloon car mechanical components. A giant killer in competition, the Seven was evolved through four series but as Chapman's road car aspirations pushed upmarket so his enthusiasm for the low profit 'kit car' waned. However, by the time Lotus ceased production in 1971 a good number of its clients had become addicted to the little sports car. Among them was Lotus agent Caterham whose belief in the design saw them buy all the tooling, presses and dies for the Seven from Lotus in 1973. Settling upon the Series III as the best of the breed they restarted production that year and have yet to stop.By the late 1990s, Ford’s 1700cc ‘X-flow’ engine was becoming harder to source. Casting around for a suitably characterful replacement, Caterham settled on a 1600cc OHC Vauxhall unit. Reworked to run on twin Weber carburettors, the new powerplant was fitted to the Classic Seven and Classic Seven Supersprint (albeit it was reportedly enlarged to 1800cc / 120bhp for the latter application). Losing out to its contemporary DOHC Rover K-Series powered siblings which were deemed to be more powerful and sophisticated, just nine Classic Seven Supersprint VX models are understood to have been sold. Factory-built, chassis 0021566 was issued with an IVA / SVA certificate on 21st December 1999 before being road registered as ‘V445 DBC’ on January 1st 2000. Reputedly re-painted in Grigio Titanio to match its first owner’s then Ferrari, the Caterham boasted an enviable specification with a full rollcage, Momo steering wheel, plumbed-in fire extinguisher, Bilstein adjustable suspension all-round, high-backed bucket seats, carbonfibre rear wing guards and full weather equipment. An engineer by profession, the vendor is happy to warrant the 6,000 miles shown by the odometer as representing the total covered from new due to the lack of wear and tear shown by the Caterham. Super fun and super rare, ‘V445 DBC’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737
