Rebuilt at over £40,000, this FIA Homologation-specification Anglia is the perfect entry-level historic racer with equally capable road performance.The hugely popular Anglia set a Ford of Britain production record in 1960, its maiden year of production, having built over 190,000 Anglias. Following on from this success, the Anglia became available in ‘Super’ specification in 1962, offering a higher level of equipment, the engine capacity increased to a longer-stroke 1,198cc and now fitted with the all-synchromesh, 4-speed gearbox from the Cortina. Additionally, there was more chrome, a luxury interior and a heater as standard with contrasting coloured side-stripe distinguishing the Super from its 997cc sibling. The engine was capable of being modified to produce much more power, and it became the motive power unit for various forms of motorsport including circuit racing and rallies alike. An Anglia was entered in the Monte Carlo Rally from 1960-1965 finishing consistently above its station, and today rally and racing Anglias are still an important and competitive part of the historic scene, and are homologated by the FIA at 997cc, 1198cc and 1340cc.Offered here is a fabulously prepared 1964 Ford Anglia 1200 Super, built to FIA 1175 Homologation specification but, despite having benefitted from a comprehensive re-build costing in excess of £40,000, the car has seen very little use and is ready to go.Originally used for rallying, this car has a long competitive history and has enjoyed plenty of success whilst in the hands of Patrice Wattine and others. It went on to race within the HSCC - Dunlop Thermex championships before a complete strip and rebuild began.The restoration was meticulous to say the least, and the bills verify the story and current condition. The shell was fully seam-welded with a stiffened and strengthened floor to facilitate the roll cage, with the whole car stripped to bare metal, its underside bead-blasted to remove all previous paint. Brand new, original specification Ford steel wings were purchased, new door shut panels were welded in to get the newly re-skinned doors to fit the body apertures correctly, and new rear panels were also fitted. The exterior, interior and underside were sprayed then baked. The doors with their new skins were then fitted with a brand new window kit and laminated windscreen.The car is fitted with a DAMICO 1,200cc engine built to strict FIA specification. It's currently limited to 7,500rpm for longevity and is capable of reaching more than 8,500rpm if required, but in its current state of tune produces in the region of 130bhp. It's mated to a close-ratio gearbox and racing clutch with new bearings and seals. All engine components are new and balanced, the block and head have been extensively worked on and the cam was specifically chosen to make the car easy to live with, and to provide a smooth power delivery without being too 'cammy'. To ensure long distance races such as the Spa 6-Hours are feasible, the car is fitted with a 12 gallon foam-filled fuel tank and, for track limitations, the current exhaust setup is a 105 decibel system designed and fitted by Alan Dent. The suspension was modified within FIA regulations and corner weighted by Alan Dent. New bearings, seals and flexible brake pipes were fitted and the entire braking system was replaced, along with new dampers all round and FIA compliant disc brakes to the front.The dashboard is as per the original car, with the addition of an electronic rev counter and an extra large oil warning light. An MSA/FIA compliant rain light is fitted, as is an electric fan and a fire extinguisher system. The racing seat is suitable for a HANS Device and is compliant with FIA/MSA regulations. Complete with its all-important HTP papers, this car offers the opportunity to take part in a diverse selection of race series such as FIA road rallies, historical events such as the U2TC Championships, Goodwood Revival, Spa 6-Hours and many more.Benefiting from being fully road-registered, this fantastic motor car is to be sold complete with a UK V5 logbook and a vast history file containing comprehensive details and photographs of its restoration. This versatile little Anglia is crying out not to be stuck in a garage in the Cotswolds with a doting custodian but should be back on the circuits with the HSCC, tarmac rallying, Prescott and Shelsley, or possibly even used as the most fun way to get between pubs on a Sunday afternoon.

Standard MkII 998cc Austin Cooper prepared in the 1980s for club rallying. From long-term ownership and no longer active but would make a great sprint/hill climb/fun road car.Making its debut in 1961, the giant-slaying Mini Cooper went on to become one of the most successful competition cars of all time, literally running rings around far bigger and more potent opponents as a result of its incredible handling. The original 997cc long-stroke engine was supplanted in 1964 with the 998cc unit offering 55bhp and the twin SUs and close-ratio gearbox made for a very successful formula. A major revamp occurred in 1967 with the introduction of the MkII with a larger rear window and a different grille amongst a raft of other changes. Some 16,000 MKII Coopers were sold before production came to an end in 1969 and survivors are increasingly prized by collectors.Built on the 3rd of July 1968, JDR 612F was originally a standard 998cc Austin Cooper MkII finished in white with a black roof. At some point in its early life, one of its owners had decided that the call of motorsport could not be ignored and JDR was prepared for its next role as a rally car.We are not sure whether it was gradually developed over a period of time or was prepared initially as an homage to the mid-1960s ‘Works’ cars but it certainly looks the part now. Traditionally finished in Tartan Red with an Old English White roof, the little car sits well on chunky 10” Minilites popping out from black extended arches and sports a heavy duty sump-guard, Cooper’S’ twin tanks with quick-fillers, a quartet of Lucas spot/fog lights, a roof-mounted hand-operated spotlight, bonnet and boot straps and much more. There are some cheeky Cooper S badges on the boot and bonnet but, sadly, it’s not a 1275.Apart from the full roll-cage, a new dashboard panel and a hand-held extinguisher, the interior is basically standard and equipped with the normal working tools of a navigators life, internal fuses, map reading light, multiple stop watches and a Halda Twinmaster.It was owned and rallied by navigator, Nigel Chetwynd, and driven by his friend, Peter Barker, during the late 80s and early 90s with much success including an outright win in the Cumbria Classic in 1990 and second in class on the Solway Rally (There will be some press cuttings from that period with the car).JDR has been owned since 2005 by a father and daughter and is on offer from their private Mini Collection. We understand that it's been well-maintained during their ownership and has been out from time to time on road rallies and regularity runs. Our vendor has fitted rear lights and a rear screen from a Mk I Cooper further enhancing its ‘factory’ look. The car has a very strong shell and drives extremely well and, as an entry-level rally car represents great value for money, although the currency of the safety equipment (cage, belts, extinguisher etc.) would have to be established.Or perhaps just use it for fun days out, regularity events or the odd club sprint. Versatile little Cooper with a really great ‘look’.

An homage to Renault's Junior World Rally Championship-winning Super Clio 1600, built by Prima Racing and recently refreshed.At its 2000 launch, the Renault Clio 172 Sport rejuvenated the hot hatch market and introduced stiff competition for VW's Golf GTi and the Peugeot 206. It looked keenly priced at first, although when the Civic Type R came along in 2001, closely followed by the Focus ST170 in 2002, Renault had to shave £400 off its price to compete. Power was provided by a 2.0-litre, 16-valve, inline-four generating 172bhp (hence the name) which was transmitted to the road through a 5-speed gearbox and front-wheel drive. Performance was brisk with 0-60 in 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 140mph.This very special Clio was built by Prima Racing, a Renault specialist in Ilkeston, Derbyshire in late 2000 based on a six month-old Clio 172 Phase 1. Under the banner of Prima Sport Products, they have developed a wide range of body styling parts, mostly for the popular Renault Clio 172, 182, Megane and 5 GT Turbo cars and are specialists in designing WRC replica wide arch bodykits. This particular car was built as a 'wide body' demonstrator to a very high standard, mimicking the Super S1600 rally cars. It was owned primarily by Prima’s MD and little-used over the following 18 years, covering just over 47,000 miles with MOT Certificates to corroborate the mileage.Our vendor bought this car in 2019 to add to his private collection and commenced a light recommission including a suspension rebuild, fitting all new Duraflex bushes, Braid 18” lightweight alloy wheels and a total repaint in Renault Liquid Yellow and Silver echoing the works Rally Team colours. Initially, the car was missing the S1600 bonnet grille, roof spoiler and scoop and these were duly sourced from Ricambi Tuning from Turin and fitted prior to the car's repaint. It has covered less than 500 miles since it had a cam belt service along with a new water pump, power steering pump and coil packs.Although fully road-registered, the Clio appears to be ready for competition use with a full cage with door-bars, Corbeau seats, full harnesses, fire extinguisher, front and rear tow points and a Momo steering wheel making it suitable for track days, hill-climbs or sprints and possibly some circuit racing depending on the regulations. This little Prima Sport 172 is a real head-turner and, on offer at 'No Reserve', could be tremendous value when you consider that ex-works S1600s achieve in excess of £100,000.

On offer from single ownership from new, this Auralis Blue Escort RS Cosworth is one of 104 ever produced and has covered just 47,500 miles.The Escort RS Cosworth was launched in 1992 as an 'homologation special' where its sole purpose was to incorporate parts that Ford planned to use in their rally cars to ensure success in International Rallying. The first 2,500 cars, the homologation special examples, were built up to May 1994 and notoriously suffered from turbo-lag, but the next 4,500 were improved, largely thanks to their smaller Garrett T25 Turbo.Two models were available, the Club-spec standard car and the all singing, all dancing Lux version. Power was increased by over 10% from the Sierra RS Cosworth, now making 227bhp, with performance unsurprisingly improved. In 1995, the RS Cosworth was treated to a mild facelift, receiving a new honeycomb grille, restyled bumpers, a more attractive fascia, and revised alloy wheels. Manufacture continued until early 1996 when emissions regulations forced it out of production. Like pretty much every RS Ford, it was a classic from the moment it arrived on the market.This particular example is a stunning, UK-supplied, right-hand drive car finished in Auralis Blue, one of just 104 to leave the factory in this colour, combined with the desirable Lux specification. That specification included an electric sunroof, electric heated mirrors, heated windscreen, heated washer jets, leather steering wheel, electric windows, carpeted door bins and the rare leather Recaro seats.Rolling off the production line as one of the final RS Cosworths ever produced with a build date of December 1995, the car was purchased new by our vendor's father who remains the sole registered keeper and having covered just 47,500 miles from new, this is a largely original example in one of the rarest colours available. Sitting as our vendor's pride and joy, this fabulous Cosworth has been maintained and cherished ever since its collection in 1996.The car was put into storage in 2018 having covered just 10,000 miles in the last 15 years, and has been treated to recent light recommissioning in 2022 including a full service, cam belt, refurbished calipers, new discs and pads, new/old stock alloy wheels and four new tyres. Recent servicing has been undertaken by Fiats in Colchester with bills and invoices on file.Rare to find such an untouched example, the only minor modifications that have been made to this car are a blow-off valve and a chipped ECU.Fresh to market from significant 26-year ownership, it has a valid MOT following the minor recommissioning and is accompanied by various invoices, Owners' Handbooks etc. With its Lux specification, low mileage, rare colour and single ownership, this stunning Cosworth ticks all the right boxes and is no doubt worthy of serious consideration by any collector of performance Fords.

A superb example of the Evoluzione II in a very rare colour with low mileage and celebrity provenance.First seen at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1979, the Lancia Delta Integrale is best known for its domination of the World Rally Championship in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Constantly being developed, the first Evoluzione cars were built at the end of 1991 and carried on through 1992 and these Evo models were to be the final homologation cars built for the Lancia Rally Team competing under the Martini Racing banner.Arriving in June 1993, a further development of the HF Integrale naturally became known as the Evo II and featured an updated version of the 2-litre, 16-valve turbo engine producing a little more power (215bhp) and incorporated a three-way catalyst and a Lambda probe, with everything being run by a new Marelli integrated engine control system. Only 4,223 cars were ever built for the global market and the car is now regarded, like several previous Lancia models such as the Fulvia, Stratos and 037, as Rally Royalty.This, 1993 model Evo II, also featured a cosmetic and functional facelift that included 16'' light alloy rims with 205/45/ZR16 tyres, a body-colour roof moulding to underline the connection between the roof and the solar tinted windows, as well as an aluminium fuel cap and air-intake grills, a red colour-coded cam cover on the engine and a leather-covered, three-spoke MOMO steering wheel along with Recaro bucket seats upholstered in Tan Alcantara with diagonal stitching. The Evo 2 HF Integrale is now considered by many as the one to have and this particular car enjoys an exceptional and appealing pedigree.Originally supplied to Japan, this car was then selected and imported back to the UK in 2011 with all duties paid. It had been chosen for its rare colour of Lord Blue which is extremely smart and also its comprehensive Japanese service history. The interior of this particular car is also immaculate with the Tan Alcantara high-back seats still looking like new. Maintained professionally on an annual basis in the UK, the car had covered just over 87,000km when, back in May 2021, it was purchased by well known comedian, actor and long time petrol head, Rowan Atkinson CBE.He is known to be particularly meticulous when it comes to looking after his cars, and the accompanying history file confirms significant expenditure during his tenure. There are invoices detailing a service shortly after his purchase in 2021 (£2,500), a light paint refresh shortly afterwards (£1,800) and a large service with any minor items attended to last year (2022) at a cost of £5,500, all of which explains why the little Lancia remains in such fabulous condition. He has enjoyed many happy hours in the car, although the total mileage still remains below 90,000km.The second-generation EVO is particularly topical at the moment and collectors are constantly seeking exceptional examples with a well detailed history and in rare colours which this car firmly represents. Supplied with a comprehensive history file, its V5C and a current MOT, this car is ready to be enjoyed and driven as it should be. The market for Integrales of all types continues to firm and this superb example in a subtle shade of dark blue, with low mileage and celebrity provenance deserves your consideration.SpecificationMake: LANCIAModel: HF INTEGRALE EVO IIYear: 1993Chassis Number: ZLA831AB000583203Registration Number: L104 MJHTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 89300 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: Tan AlacantaraClick here for more details and images
Presenting in exceptional condition, this Tommykaira R-S is a unicorn of the JDM world and one of just 35 Tommykaira R34s ever produced. Generating some 435bhp from the uprated RB26 DETT, this car is a fabulous look-back at the pinnacle of Japanese tuning houses in their prime.The car culture in Japan is globally renowned for its passion for modification, enthusiasm for all cars, and unbridled ability to push the boat out. Throughout the 1990s, the tuner culture truly exploded in the Japanese car world with, now infamous, garages, workshops and brands popping up and growing notoriety such as Smokey Nagata’s ‘Top Secret’, Akira Nakai’s ‘RWB’, and brands/factions such as Nismo, Blitz, HKS and others. One of these brands was Tommykaira.Originally founded in 1986 as Tomita Yume Koujou, Tommykaira is a Japanese car tuning and manufacturing company headquartered in Minami-ku, Kyoto and named after its two founders, Yoshikazu Tomita and Kikuo Kaira. Several of its cars have appeared in both the Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport racing simulation video game series which boosted their popularity and awareness of the brand.Tommykaira tuned, modified and then re-branded cars as if they were manufactured by the company itself, with the permission of the parent manufacturers, much like the German counterparts of Ruf and Gemballa do with Porsches. A Subaru Impreza was re-branded as Tommykaira M20b, a Nissan 350Z as a Tommykaira Z, and the most notorious JDM car of all, the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R was offered in three guises, the Tommykaira R, R-S or RZ featuring different levels of aggression, styling and power, the R being entry level, the R-S the mid-range, most balanced option and the RZ the most aggressive.The R34 GT-R's popularity was rocketed by an appearance in "The Fast and the Furious" franchise that led to an explosion in global popularity for the R34 GT-R. Indeed, the late Paul Walker drove an R34 GT-R in '2 Fast 2 Furious', enhancing its almost cult status. But it was in the 'real' world where the R34 GT-R V-Spec would cement its reputation. Described by Evo Magazine as "A warrior-class performer" in its 2007 road test, where a standard R34 GT-R was pitted against the likes of a McLaren F1, Pagani Zonda, Ferrari F40 and Bugatti Veyron, the GT-R's reputation as a class-act remained intact.The R33 GT-R was a good car, but many found it to be too bulky in design and too heavy to be a worthy successor to the R32 GT-R, which the R34 sought to rectify, and did so with flying colours. Released with a shorter, sharper design and the performance to match, it’s safe to say the bite truly matches the bark. For a car released in 1999, the R34 came crammed full of technology including a 5.8" LCD multifunction display in the dashboard, showing seven different live readings of engine and vehicle statistics such as boost pressure, oil/water temperature and throttle percentage amongst others.It arrived with aggressive new styling, a stiffer bodyshell and a reworked version of the bulletproof and highly modifiable RB26DETT twin-turbo, inline-six mated to an all-new Getrag 6-speed gearbox and transfer case. The electronically controlled Super HICAS rear-wheel steering system was retained. Unlike some other performance cars of the 1990s, Nissan did not neglect the braking system and fitted Brembo brakes with 300mm vented discs, although Tommykaira did upgrade these further to match the power increase.The example offered here is a V-Spec JDM-delivered car and is one of just 522 produced in GV1, Pearl Black, out of a production run of 11,578 cars. Importantly, this was one of the very select cars that Tommykaira got their hands on. Tommykaira built three variations of the R34, the entry level R with 375bhp, the R-S with 435bhp and a host of mechanical upgrades and the hardcore RZ with over 500bhp. Tommykaira upgrades were both mechanical and cosmetic with a view to improving and refining the already outstanding R34 GTR, seeking to make it faster, better to drive and overall improved on both road and track without compromising comfort.On the mechanical side, we have Nissan’s legendary 2.6-litre twin-turbo engine now producing 435bhp thanks to its N1 Turbos, Tommykaira remapped ECU, stainless-steel Tommykaira exhaust system, uprated radiator, oil cooler, intercooler, turbine kit and air filters. The driving experience is enhanced with uprated Bilstein gas-filled shock absorbers, 25mm lowering springs, upgraded front tension rods, a strut-brace and a twin-plate cutch. Cosmetically, the R-S model features an exclusive mesh grille, front bumper, front spoiler, side skirts, rear bumper, rear valance and diffusers, as well as an adjustable alloy GT wing and more Tommykaira emblems than you can shake a stick at. Step foot near this car and you’ll have no doubt who built it and why.It rides on its original lightweight, and recently refurbished (costing £460 from Platinum Alloys), 19-inch, six-spoke Tommykaira ‘Pro R’ magnesium wheels finished in gold and wrapped in Bridgestone Potenzas all-round, with massive AP Racing six-piston callipers and discs on the front with two-piston callipers on the back, meaning this JDM hero stops as fast as it accelerates. The interior also saw sympathetic upgrades featuring exclusive Tommykaira sports seats with red embroidered Tommykaira emblems, a black leather-trimmed centre armrest, handbrake grip and steering wheel with red contrast stitching, and light gold trim inserts. Additionally, there are bespoke Tommykaira floor mats, gear knob, foot rest, tinted windows, automatic climate control, a Clarion infotainment system with satellite navigation, a multifunctional display (MFD), electrically adjustable mirrors and a fabulous Tommykaira aluminium faced digital speedometer with a peak torque and a shift light.Within the history file there is a good summary of its owners in Japan, its auction report including photos prior to export, and a good amount of Japanese history. It was most recently serviced on 24th August 2022 by Abbey Motorsport costing £827 including all fluids changed and a fresh MOT despite only covering just over 1,000km since its last service. In 2019 Abbey Motorsport carried out another service including changing the timing belt, fitting a custom-made radiator and a new battery with the invoice totalling £1,951. The history file also contains a big section of OEM/OEM+ parts bought from either Nissan directly or from Japan and Authenticity Certificates on the Tommykaira parts as well as the original Tommykaira Sales Brochure. It will be supplied with a custom Tommykaira car cover, jack kit and spare wheel.Imported in 2016 and owned by our vendor since then, this utterly stunning Tommykaira R-S has covered just 76,727km (47,675 miles) from new and presents in outstanding condition, testament to our vendor who has kept it in dry storage whenever not in use and never allowed it to see the dreaded UK salt, thus ensuring its all-round stunning condition.This represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a phenomenally rare example of arguably the fastest appreciating modern-classic in the fastest appreciating sector of the market which showcases just how capable these Japanese tuning houses were at building phenomenal cars for both road and track. With the USA market just 1-2 years away for a lot of GT-Rs, it could be an outstandingly smart investment that can also be enjoyed in the meantime.SpecificationMake: NISSANClick here for more details and images
A fascinating, rare and bespoke XJR-S, coming from 22-years ownership, just 59,000 miles and a full service history.Between 1992 and the early 2000s, Paul Bailey’s Bristol-based company, PBB Design, offered a series of modifications for the XJ-S under the name Monaco, completely changing the car’s look and character. Built in tiny numbers, it was one of the better-designed, modified examples of Jaguar’s big GT that were prevalent at the time.Following a career in the aircraft industry, Bailey moved to Bristol-based Glenfrome Engineering, which produced lengthened five-door and open versions of the Range Rover, plus a futuristic design based on the SUV called the Facet. It also experimented with a long wheelbase version of the XJ-S. While Paul had long admired the XJ-S in terms of its dynamics, its angular styling had never impressed him – so he penned his own version ensuring the changes would be possible. “There’s no point in dreaming up a design that couldn’t be built,” he said in the April 1992 issue of 'Jaguar Quarterly'; “I wanted my car to be exactly as I drew it.”His design included a longer, rounder nose that featured a downturned oval grille, and much wider wheel arches front and back to cover huge alloys. The glass-fibre panels simply attached to the car’s bodywork, requiring no structural changes, although Bailey had considered producing them in steel. He even involved Park Sheet Metal – which produced many of Jaguar’s own concepts, including the first XJ220 – during the early stages of the project. However, the metal around the arches had to be cut away, along with a little around the headlight area to make room for larger light pods where Bailey planned to use small projector lamps by Bosch. The bonnet was also new, again made from composite, and required a redesign of its hinge mounting due to the lower rake of the front. The result was a handsome, modern car that still harked back to Jaguar’s past, “There is probably more ‘spirit of the E-Type’ in the PBB than in anything built yet,” was Jaguar Quarterly’s 1992 view.It wasn’t a cheap conversion, though, since the body-kit alone cost £24,500 when fitted at PBB Design’s Bristol premises. This did include handsome 17'' split rims from Compomotive, plus a suspension package developed by handling experts, Harvey Bailey Engineering. PBB Design was also able to offer various drivetrain upgrades, including a Rob Beere Engineering-developed 7.3-litre V12, and a totally bespoke interior that featured better-quality leather for the seats, a suede-covered dashboard and plush carpets.Unsurprisingly, at this price only a handful were made. The consensus is 12, mixed between coupés and convertibles, V12s and straight-sixes, but this can’t be confirmed. What also comes as no surprise is that the Sultan of Brunei was said to be a customer (as he had been at Glenfrome), purported to have bought the first two production examples of the Monaco.Sadly, Bailey wound up PBB Design in 2001 following a heart attack and sold the moulds for the Monaco to a Texas-based engineering firm.The car presented here has a story to tell in two parts: its first incarnation was as the very first Monaco example, produced as a prototype by PBB Design ( c.1991) and was used as the company’s ‘poster car’ for numerous magazine shoots in the early 1990s. The most famous of which was probably for Performance Car later morphing into Harry Metcalfe’s ‘EVO’) in 1992, which gathered together a real ‘who’s who’ of Jaguar design engineers and their cars of the time – there was Paul Bailey in this particular car, William Towns in his Railton Claremont, Laurence Pearce in his Lister XJ-S and Paul Hands in his Hyper XJ-S.Subsequently, this very special car was sold to its first owner, understood to have been in the Scottish oil industry, and later acquired by its next owner, based in High Wycombe, who would go on to keep it for the next 22 years. The original car used as the PBB prototype had been a standard X-JS V12 and, by the late 1990s was feeling a bit underwhelming, so in 1999, the owner approached Paul Hands about updating the car’s specification to a bit closer to the high-performance examples PBB were currently producing. The decision was made to extract all the original PBB elements, source a newer, later-production Jaguar and rebuild it to the same exacting standards, all done by one of the best in the business, Paul Hands. The car chosen to receive this expert treatment was a low-mileage, fully serviced 1990 Jaguar XJR-S 6.0-litre (SAJJSAES3BB170057), an example of the final evolution of the Jaguar XJ-S, hand-built at JaguarSport at Bloxham, the high-tech facility that had been home to XJ220 production.The JaguarSport XJR-S may have looked like its production counterparts but differed immensely with many parts unique to the model and, of course its 6.0-litre V12 engine. The engine was rated at 318bhp and was 700cc larger than the previous 5.3-litre V12. A modified intake system and a low-loss true dual exhaust system was part of the car’s advanced specification. The suspension was further developed by TWR with increased coil spring rates and the Bilstein shocks, front and rear, were specially tuned for the XJR-S. Only 115 were built in right-hand drive.The transformed car was then routinely serviced by Paul Hands and Hyper for the following decade and more, receiving, in May 2000, an uprated Hyper 3-speed clutch less manual gearbox (costing £1,650), said to transform the driving performance. Silverstone Auctions have chatted at length to Paul Hands, and he recalled the car and its long-time owner immediately, confirming that he did the transformative rebuild of it and the subsequent servicing. There is a Valuation Report/Certificate written by him and numerous invoices for servicing in the accompanying history file. Present also are the original book-pack, service booklet and paperwork relating to the XJR-S that was utilised, helping verify the mileage. The car was last fully serviced at Jaguar specialists Powerbell Services of Taplow in May 2022 at 58,763 miles and is said to drive and perform as one would expect.If you’ve ever hankered for a Jaguar XJ-S, why not choose one with a fascinating backstory and unique appeal, conceived in the heyday of XJS design evolution.

On offer from the Piddington Collection, formerly the property of Ron Hickman, the South African-born, Jersey-based automobile designer and inventor responsible for the original Elan, the +2 and the Europa but best known for creating the Black and Decker 'Workmate'.Ron Hickman grew up in Greytown in Natal province, South Africa and from an early age he was passionate about motor cars, carving models of them in wood and sketching them for their owners. On leaving school, he trained in law for six years in the Department of Justice but retained an ambition to style cars that could not be realised in South Africa. So in 1954, he borrowed £100 from his father and set off for London. He soon found a job with Ford in Dagenham as a clay modeller in the styling department and seven months later he became a stylist on the 105E Anglia.In 1956, Hickman, whose ambitions lay beyond styling 'worthy' saloons for Ford, 'bumped into' Lotus founder Colin Chapman at the Earls Court Motor Show. As we know, Chapman was a brilliantly gifted engineer whose early competition cars were enjoying success but he was in need of ingenious, energetic characters such as Ron to help get his ambitious new Elite road car into production. Brought in as a production engineer with Lotus in North London, Ron became a general manager and eventually a director, however, the Elite proved to be a false start. It was beautiful to look at and drive but too complicated to build and too frail in service to have the mass appeal Chapman was looking for. Something more practical was needed.The Elan, introduced in 1962, is arguably the finest of Chapman's road cars and it was Hickman, working alongside John Frayling, who got it into production. The car skilfully blended Grand Prix-inspired engineering finesse – ultra-stiff backbone chassis, all-independent suspension, disc brakes and a lusty twin overhead camshaft engine – with off-the-shelf components from the parts bins of the big manufacturers. This approach saved money and simplified production, the Elan's engine block was borrowed from the Ford Classic and the steering rack from the prosaic Triumph Herald; yet this tiny 1600cc two-seater was so light and perfectly balanced that it could accelerate as quickly as Jaguar's current E-Type.The Elan, with Hickman's light uni-mould glass-fibre body, brought the thrills of single-seat racing car handling to the road driver who could muster £1,200, or less if he built it from a kit. Its handling is still unsurpassed and the backbone chassis, conceived by Hickman as a temporary measure for developing the car's suspension, formed the basis of every subsequent Lotus of the classic era. As well as devising the car's famous vacuum-operated pop-up headlamps and its distinctive bumpers, Hickman is attributed with having come up with its name – by looking through the ‘E’ section of the dictionary.Ron left Lotus in 1967 to start his own design company and develop the 'Workmate'. Black & Decker eventually signed an exclusive manufacturing deal in 1972 for his Mark II version, with a lightweight foldable alloy frame so it could be stowed in the boot of a car, but by then Hickman had already sold 14,000 Workmates by mail order. Even with a comparatively low 3% royalty, Hickman soon joined the tax-exile bracket, moving in 1977 to Jersey, where he built a modernist villa with views of St Brelade's Bay and filled it with his own labour-saving gadgets. In 1994 he was honoured with an OBE.This gorgeous Lagoon Blue Sprint DHC, KXC 67F, was purchased directly by Ron on 27th November 1996 in its currently restored state from the restorer Neil Myers, shipped to Jersey, popped into Ron’s garage and only used occasionally. It must have felt rather special to open his garage doors and see two of his creations, the Elan and the Workmate side by side knowing that both had received worldwide acclaim.The car was purchased from the Hickman family by our vendor on the 9th March 2021 and, although it remained exactly as it was post-restoration, it was given a very light recommission by Neil Myers upon its return to the UK and prior to joining the Piddington Collection.In common with the other Elans on offer today, KXC 67F retains its original chassis, body and engine and naturally your inspection of this important Elan is welcomed.It's accompanied an original Elan tool kit, Certificate of Vehicle Provenance, spare keys, 2 copies of the Elan Sprint Owners Handbook, lots of photographs and acres of interesting correspondence, as you might expect from the man who designed the Elan. A goldmine for Lotus enthusiasts.SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ELAN SPRINT DROPHEAD COUPÉ 'RON HICKMAN'Year: 1971Chassis Number: 7108180446GRegistration Number: KXF 67KTransmission: ManualEngine Number: N24850Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 13774 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black VinylClick here for more details and images
The S2 Type 25 from 2002 was the second 'Legacy Edition' based on the 2nd-generation Elise. This is Number 24 of 50.The Lotus Elise S2 Type 25 embodies the heritage that is Lotus' remarkable Formula 1 history. The original Type 25, the car that made Jim Clark a legend and established Lotus as a major force in Formula 1, broke both technological and innovative boundaries just as the Elise did 20 years ago.Turning away from the 'then standard' tubular spaceframe, Colin Chapman, inspired by the Elan chassis, created the first monocoque racing car by sketching the design on a napkin over lunch with Mike Costin (of Cosworth fame). Virtually built around Jim Clark, the car was secretly constructed in a small area of the then Lotus headquarters at Cheshunt, and made it's debut at the 1962 Dutch Grand Prix. The end of the season saw Lotus failing to win the championship by one point, a fantastic achievement by a radically new and different car, but the following season was to get even better with Clark and Lotus finishing the 1963 season with maximum points, securing both the Drivers and Constructors World Championships.The same aluminium chassis and GRP body panel principles that were used in the construction of the Type 25 race car were used in the development of the Elise, with the same principles of performance through light weight, low capacity and high output engines at the heart of it's engineering.The Elise Type 25, built to commemorate the revolutionary single-seater, mirrors its design, painted in Lotus Racing Green with twin metallic yellow stripes running front to back. Unique black Lotus-styled, six-spoke wheels complete the racing look from the exterior. Inside, echoing the original, the interior includes perforated Ruby Red leather seats, door panels and steering wheel centre. The heritage look is continued with red laurels embroidered onto the headrest of each seat and a Heritage Type 25 ID plate confirming it's limited-edition status as only 50 of these cars were produced for the UK market.This particular example, number 24 of the 50 produced for the UK market, is supplied with a full book pack, a signed Team Lotus poster, a Lotus Elise Type 25 model, the original order form and the two original keys. It was also specified from new with a stainless-steel exhaust system and a brushed aluminium handbrake sleeve, with both still being in place, as are the factory hard and soft tops, providing all round protection from the elements. With a complete service record from new, and care and attention in recent years from Bell & Colvill, this particular Type 25 has increasing desirability within Lotus circles and will surely continue to demand the respect that only a true driver’s car can provide.SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ELISE S2Year: 2002Chassis Number: SCCGA11182HC73069Registration Number: BD02 UZVTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 18K4FN06M524273Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 42952 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Red/BlackClick here for more details and images
