Property of a deceased's estate1992 Ducati 750SSRegistration no. K516 WPHFrame no. ZDM750SC 000879Engine no. ZDMA2C 000899Odometer reading: 7,153 km - not warrantedMoT expiry date: 21 July 2011•With the present (third) owner since 2010•Requires re-commissioning•Trademark 'trellis' frameThe arrival of Ducati's all-new, eight-valve, water-cooled v-twin 851 Superbike in the late 1980s led to a comprehensive re-structuring of the range, the appearance of this range-topping WSBK contender creating a niche for a series of super-sports roadsters. That gap would be filled first by the 900SS that arrived in 1991, reviving one of the great model designations from the Bologna factory's past. The newcomer used a development of Ducati's long running 'belt drive' v-twin motor, designed by the legendary Fabio Taglioni, that had first appeared in 1978 in the Pantah 500. Air-cooled and with two-valves-per-cylinder, the 80bhp 900SS was simpler, easier to maintain and, of course, less costly than the 851 Superbike. In style though, it gave nothing away to its more exotic cousin, having the same distinctive 'trellis' frame, now an established Ducati trademark. Handling was, needless to say, exemplary. 750SS and 600SS versions followed. Relatively light (395lbs) and nimble, and with a maximum power output of 60bhp, the 750SS was no sluggard, boasting a top speed of more than 124mph. Purchased by the late (third) owner in 2010, this Ducati 750SS currently displays a total of 7,153 kilometres (approximately 4,400 miles) on the odometer and is presented in age-related condition. It is not known when the machine was last used, although the presence of a 2011-expired tax disc may be an indication. Requiring a replacement battery, no attempt has been made to start the Ducati, which will require re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration, including a major service and change of cam belts, before returning to the road. Accompanying paperwork includes correspondence, a V5C document, expired MoTs, and the original instruction manual and warranty/service booklet (blank).

Property of a deceased's estate1993 Harley-Davidson 80ci FXSR-SP Low Rider SportRegistration no. K980 DGSFrame no. 1HD1EGL16PY115649Engine no. EGLP115649Odometer reading: 2,664 miles - not warrantedMoT expiry date: 30 June 2010•With the present (second) owner since January 1994•Requires re-commissioning•Supertrapp Performance silencerThe motorcycling world's biggest and most widely recognised brand, Harley-Davidson has been synonymous with rugged, uncompromising individualism for more than one hundred years. Large-capacity v-twins have been Harley's stock-in trade since the Edwardian era, their various incarnations progressing through countless technological developments that continue to this day. Towards the end of AMF's 1970s stewardship though, the company's future looked less than assured, so the success of the Low Rider was all the more welcome. Styled by Willie G Davidson and introduced for 1977, the Low Rider was the latest in the FX custom/cruiser line that had commenced in 1971 with the Super Glide. But whereas the latter was positioned mid-way between the Electra Glide and Sportster, the Low Rider was a bolder statement altogether. Its raked out forks, stepped seat and minimalist looks were clearly a nod in the direction of the chopper movement, which had been restyling Harleys in this manner for decades. Low and mean-looking, the first Low Rider set new standards of 'cool' among production motorcycles that have yet to be surpassed.Offered here is an example of the Low Rider Sport, a variant newly introduced for 1987 that featured improved suspension and a smaller front mudguard. Acquired by the late (second) owner in January 1994, the Harley boasts a Supertrapp Performance silencer and a carburettor air scoop, and currently displays a total of only 2,664 miles on the odometer. It is not known when the machine was last run and whilst the machine cranks, it does not start. Sold strictly as viewed, it will require re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before further use. Offered with a V5C document and other paperwork.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 56/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

Property of a deceased's estate2006 Triumph 790cc Bonneville T100Registration no. CN56 EZLFrame no. SMTTJ910TM6245478Engine no. 246542Odometer reading: 4,208 miles - not warrantedMoT expiry date: 21 September 2013•Present ownership since 2009•Requires re-commissioning•Fitted windscreen, engine bars, passenger backrestEver since the re-emergence of a newly revitalised Triumph in 1990, enthusiasts had been eagerly waiting the revival of the Bonneville brand, one of the most evocative names in motorcycling history. Ten years would elapse before Triumph felt ready to do so, having by then emphatically established its credentials as a builder of thoroughly modern motorcycles rivalling the best from Japan and Europe. Triumph's design brief for the new Bonneville was to emulate the classic style of the late 1960s version while incorporating the best of modern technology in the engine, transmission and running gear. The need to recapture the sound and feel of the original meant that the power unit had to be an air-cooled parallel twin with 360-degree crankshaft, while applying similar criteria to the cycle parts dictated wire-spoked wheels and a twin-shock rear end. At 790cc (initially) the new 8-valve engine was bigger than any preceding Bonneville while a balancer shaft - something the original could have done with - was deemed essential to dampen vibration inherent in the traditional engine architecture. The new Bonneville debuted to critical acclaim at Munich in 2001 and before long the concept had been expanded to include cruiser-style Bonneville America, super-sports Thruxton and various other models such as the T100. Acquired by the late (fourth) owner in July 2009, this Bonneville T100 currently displays a total of only 4,208 miles on the odometer. Well equipped, it boasts a windscreen, engine protector bars, and a passenger backrest. It is not known when the machine was last run and although the machine cranks, it will not start. Sold strictly as viewed, it will require re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before further use.

A notable deviation from factory spec is the addition of a new front wheel incorporating a twin leading shoe brake to improve rideability (the original front wheel and speedo drive is included with the lot). Last used in 2019, and reported by the private vendor as running well at that time, this 'rigid girder' Velocette MAC will require usual safety checks before returning to the road.

c.1958 Innocenti Lambretta 150LDRegistration no.

In the UK, Italian scooters were adopted as favoured transport by the 'Mods', becoming one of the enduring style icons of the 1960s. Predecessor of the Li and TV series, the LD arrived in 125cc form in 1951 and became available with 150cc engine three years later. The LD 150's air-cooled two-stroke single-cylinder engine produced 6bhp (1.2bhp more than the 125) giving the model a top speed of around 50mph. LD production continued until the end of the 1950s. Believed to be original and unrestored, this LD150 displays 'Lambretta Conessionaire Ltd, Wimbledon' plaques throughout and is fitted with air-intake side panels. The machine turns over but does not fire into life. Accordingly, the machine is sold strictly as viewed requiring recommissioning or restoration to a greater or lesser extent.

1914 Le Zebre Model CRegistration no. BE 5893Chassis no. 3965Odometer Reading: TBAMoT Expiry: Exempt *Restored over 20 years*Featured in 'The Automobile' magazine*Comes with some spares As the light car introduced motoring to more people numerous manufacturers sprung up to meet that demand, including Le Zebre, which operated from 1911 to 1931. This Model C was restored over 20 years with the intention of being as accurate as possible, leading to the purchase of another model to provide a replacement engine, gearbox and wheels. The body – seasoned ash skinned in sheet steel with new wings, presents very well, as does the yellow and black paint, while the wheels/tyres are reported to be good. Seats were re-trimmed in leathercloth and are said to be excellent and the mahogany dashboard and linoleum floor in very good order. The engine – sourced from the donor car – currently has no oil or water so will require light re-commissioning and the running gear too is said to be good. An electric starter has been fitted. Rarely-seen in the UK, this well-presented Le Zebre Model C was restored over two decades and comes with the benefit of some spares.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 70/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1934 Talbot AV95/105 Alpine ReplicaRegistration no. BGH 664Chassis no. 38036Odometer Reading: 52,000MoT Expiry: Exempt After avid Brooklands entrant and St Albans garagiste W. M. (Mike) Couper had taken part in the 1933 Alpine Trial in his Talbot AW90 he suggested that the factory enter a team of three cars for the 1934 event '... to prove that the AV105 with its 3-litre Roesch-designed engine was still better than anything else in the world... which the public might tend to forget after two years' absence from competition.'No rival manufacturer - including Bentley - could yet approach the Talbot's power output per litre. The Talbot engine was also more robust than those offered by Bentley and Lagonda while the recently-adopted pre-selector gearbox was a significant advantage on Alpine roads. Three new works AV105 'Alpine Racer' Team Talbots were built in the spring of 1934; BGH 21 was allocated to Tom and Elsie ('Bill') Wisdom, BGH 22 to Hugh Eaton and BGH 23 to Mike Couper.All three of Couper's team Talbot 105s finished the gruelling 1934 Alpine Trial in excellent shape and the Talbot and Adler teams were finally judged equal winners of Group II, both teams winning coveted Alpine Cups. Talbot's record of seven official entries in three separate Alpine Trials with not a single mark lost by any car, and the highest possible award won in each event, was unprecedented.After a total of 3,600 miles, Wisdom said '...fuel consumption had averaged 18 mpg and oil 1,700 mpg'. Minimal maintenance was needed en route and '... no car in the world could have given less trouble or performed better ...'. Several successful Brooklands seasons followed - the most significant era in Talbot history.BGH 664 was built in Talbot's Barlby Road factory in March 1934 as AV95 chassis no. 38036 with a 10' wheelbase and delivered un-bodied to Messrs Tozer Kemsley and Millbourn on 23rd April 1934. It is thought that the chassis was exported in this form to Australia and bodied there. After WW2 the car found its way to South Africa and into the well-known Talbot collection of Bryan Smith, who at the time also owned the original 1934 Alpine Team car, BGH 21, purchased by the Wisdoms after the Alpine Trial event. After Smith's death his vehicle collection, including a number of Talbots in various states of repair, was returned to the UK.Around this time, BGH 664's chassis, otherwise identical to that of an AV105, was shortened by 6' to the correct 9'6' wheelbase and re-bodied as an 'Alpine Racer', using dimensions taken from an original car. At some juncture engine no. BA697 from 1935 was fitted, along with an overhauled pre-selector gearbox.More recently, BGH 664 has been comprehensively mechanically restored for the current owner by marque specialist I.S. Polson (bills on file) with half an eye on the Flying Scotsman and other great events. Work included the fitment of a freshly overhauled and well-known engine no. 95AV95 (as installed in BGH 22 for most of the '70's through to the '90's). The car is now running well and is suitable for use and enjoyment as is, or could be further developed within VSCC regulations.Inspected for conformity by the DVLA in July 2015, the car is correctly described on its V5 registration document; it is also believed eligible for a VSCC Buff Form.

1927 Bentley 3-Litre Speed Model Sports Roadster Registration no. JO 377Chassis no. TN1559*Originally a Weymann saloon by Gurney Nutting*Substantially known ownership history*Present ownership since 1998*Recent extensive professional refurbishmentWith characteristic humility 'W O' was constantly amazed by the enthusiasm of later generations for the products of Bentley Motors Limited, and it is testimony to the soundness of his engineering design skills that so many of his products have survived. From the humblest of beginnings in a mews garage off Baker Street, London in 1919 the Bentley rapidly achieved fame as an exciting fast touring car, well able to compete with the best of European and American sports cars in the tough world of motor sport in the 1920s. Bentley's domination at Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930 is legendary, and one can only admire the Herculean efforts of such giants as Woolf Barnato, Jack Dunfee, Tim Birkin and Sammy Davis, consistently wrestling the British Racing Green sports cars to victory. W O Bentley proudly unveiled the new 3-litre car bearing his name on Stand 126 at the 1919 Olympia Motor Exhibition, the prototype engine having fired up for the first time just a few weeks earlier. Bentley's four-cylinder 'fixed head' engine incorporated a single overhead camshaft, four-valves per cylinder and a bore/stroke of 80x149mm. Twin ML magnetos provided the ignition and power was transmitted via a four-speed gearbox with right-hand change. The pressed-steel chassis started off with a wheelbase of 9' 9½' then adopted dimensions of 10' 10' ('Standard Long') in 1923, the shorter frame being reserved for the TT Replica and subsequent Speed Model. Rear wheel brakes only were employed up to 1924 when four-wheel Perrot-type brakes were introduced.In only mildly developed form, this was the model that was to become a legend in motor racing history and which, with its leather-strapped bonnet, classical radiator design and British Racing Green livery, has become the archetypal Vintage sports car. Early success in the 1922 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, when Bentleys finished second, fourth, and fifth to take the Team Prize, led to the introduction of the TT Replica (later known as the Speed Model) on the existing 9' 9½' wheelbase, short standard chassis. Identified by the Red Label on its radiator, the Speed Model differed by having twin SU 'sloper' carburettors, a higher compression ratio, different camshaft and the close-ratio A-type gearbox, the latter being standard equipment prior to 1927 when the C-type 'box was adopted. These engine changes increased maximum power from the standard 70 to 80bhp and raised top speed to an impressive 90mph. Other enhancements included the larger (11-gallon) fuel tank and (usually) André Hartford shock absorbers. Bentley made approximately 1,600 3-Litre models, the majority of which was bodied by Vanden Plas with either open tourer or saloon coachwork.According to leading marque authority Dr Clare Hay's definitive work, Bentley: The Vintage Years, chassis number 'TN1559' was completed in January 1927 and left the factory fitted with engine number '1566'. Originally bodied by Gurney Nutting as a Weymann-type saloon and first registered 'YE 1140', the Bentley was first owned by Captain W G Horne. The rest of its history prior to WW2 is uncertain, but at the war's end the car was purchased from Roy's in Kenilworth by a Mr Lloyd, who owned a metalworking business in nearby Leamington Spa. It was claimed that the owner previous to Mr Lloyd had been one of the late Sir Henry Segrave's mechanics and that he intended to race the car. He had removed the original saloon body, which was not included in the sale. Very nicely done, the current lightweight two-seater body dates from the immediately post-war period and was built by the car's then owner. In the ensuing years the Bentley passed into the ownership of Tony Judd, who raced it, destroying the original engine when it threw a rod. The engine was replaced with the current unit (number '343') which dates from 1923. Tony sold the Bentley through Stanley Mann Racing to Mr David Jenkins. David Jenkins lived near Cardiff and enjoyed owning the car for around four years. He also owned a Tiger Moth, which he flew from Rhys airfield, and lost his life as the result of a flying accident. During his ownership David Jenkins twice drove the Bentley to Le Mans with his wife to witness the 24-hour race. The current vendor bought the car, via a broker, from his widow in May 1998.During the vendor's early ownership he too drove the Bentley to Le Mans to watch the 24-hour race (in 2000 and 2001) and also drove it to Bruges, Belgium on a private tour with a group of 12 Bentleys. At the lunch stop, Jimmy Medcalf stated that the car had been travelling at a respectable 70-75mph on the motorway, while his brother Bill Medcalf, another Bentley Drivers' Club stalwart, remarked on how pretty it is. The only major mechanical work carried out concerns the crankshaft bearings, which have been re-white-metalled by renowned engineer, Arthur Archer of Great Dunmow. The body and chassis, though, have recently undergone extensive renovation by SJD Classic Restorations (Steve Downs) of Southminster, Essex. SJD disassembled the entire car, removing all bodywork from the chassis and stripping it of all mechanical components. The chassis and axle assemblies were then sand-blasted, prepared, primed and repainted. The aluminium body panels were removed from the timber frame and any rotten elements replaced. All bodywork was stripped back to bare metal and any damaged or corroded sections cut out and replaced with new aluminium. All panelling edges were replaced and the body tub skin refitted to the repaired frame. The wings, bonnet and scuttle were similarly repaired with new metal, as were the dickey seat lids, following which all bodywork was prepared, primed and repainted prior to refitting to the chassis. Other works carried out included repairing the wiring loom; fitting new shock absorbers and wheels; and re-plating the nickel brightwork, repairing it as necessary. Dated October 2019, SJD's invoice for £43,602 is on file. According to the vendor: 'The car has bags and bags of charisma and is a great joy to drive. It goes fast thanks to the lightweight body and stops quickly as well! In its current condition it has been described as 'resplendent''. 'TN1559' has also featured in four editions of the BDC Review (details available). A wonderful opportunity to acquire a unique 'W O' Speed Model Bentley, benefiting from recent extensive professional refurbishment.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 75/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

Property from a Deceased Estate1937 Cord 812 Supercharged Westchester SedanRegistration no. YSU 476Chassis no. 31841AOdometer Reading: TBAMoT Expiry: Exempt *A ground-breaking design*Seldom offered in sedan form*Good history The Cord 810 (and its supercharged 812 sibling) remains one of the 1930s most important car designs, binning much of what had gone before and while not entirely starting with a clean sheet, like the same-period Chrysler Airflow re-visited the way a car should look and perform. While not as revolutionary as the Citroen DS would be at its launch two decades later, the Cord's bought-in Lycoming V8 drove the front wheels while designer Gordon Buehrig's design offered ultra-clean lines with retractable headlights and a lack of running boards. By the 1950s American enthusiasts saw the Cord as a classic, a status it still holds today. Imported in 1990 this supercharged Cord 812 was restored 10 years ago (bills on file) with work that included stripping the bodywork, repairing and fabricating panels where required and re-building the engine, whose work alone came to more than £17,000. Other work included re-building the engine and tasks such as grinding and polishing crankshaft big ends – bills detailing the work are on file. An opportunity to buy a comprehensively-restored example of this seldom-seen, ground-breaking American model. Property from a deceased estate.

1931 Rolls-Royce Phantom II 40/50HP SaloonCoachwork by H.J. Mulliner Registration no. GP 2446Chassis no. 49GXOdometer Reading: TBAMoT Expiry: Exempt *Rakish Mulliner bodywork*Interesting period correspondence*Engine runs but believed to have big end fault Arguably one of the most significant of pre-war Rolls-Royce models, the Phantom II Continental' engine featured raised compression for a greater power delivery, that equating to around 90mph for models with closed bodywork. Popularity was assured and it sold across the world, coachwork of all forms being supplied by numerous companies. This 40/50 Phantom II Continental is fitted with H.J. Mulliner sports saloon bodywork in black with vinyl roof and sunroof, with two spare wheels mounted at the back. First owner Sir W.H. Peat, C.B.E. kept the car until 1959 and a year later the engine and gearbox were overhauled: in 1962 the coachwork was overhauled and in 1965 it was awarded the 'most elegant car of all' award at the 1965 Rolls-Royce and Bentley Concours d'Elegance, held at Blenheim Palace. After some time in Switzerland it was bought by the late owner from Charles Howard in 1998. The tan interior is believed to be original. The engine does run but a suspected big end has picked-up. With its appealing, rakish looks this Phantom II Continental comes with early correspondence and presents well, but requires some re-commissioning.

This 1930 Buick Tourer is an example from that period, and it comes to the sale with vendor-rated very good body and glass, the maroon paintwork being between good and very good order, the vendor says. The interior, which features cream-coloured seating, is according to our vendor generally good to very good. Power comes from a 5.4-litre engine, which is reported to be very good for starting and running and good for presentation: running gear, including clutch, brake, steering and suspension is said to be very good and the electrical system good. Some history comes with this lot. Acquired by the family from Hershey, USA, this Buick Tourer comes from long-term ownership and presents well.

1961 Jaguar Mk 2 3.8-Litre Sports SaloonRegistration no. LFF 810Chassis no. 205245DNOdometer Reading: TBAMoT Expiry: Exempt*The Jaguar MkII in its ultimate specification*Present ownership since 2007*Engine rebuilt in 2011/2012*Running gear overhauled in 2014*Body restoration and re-spray 2016*Extensively campaigned and well maintainedRepresenting Jaguar's perennially popular Mk2 saloon in its ultimate 3.8-litre manual/overdrive specification, chassis number '205245DN' was delivered to Greenhill Motors via Henlys of London, and originally was finished in Opalescent Silver Grey with a red interior. The car's first owner was Robert Day Film Production Ltd of London SW14.In December 1976, the car passed into the ownership of Cyril Humphries of Essex and by this time had been repainted Carmen Red. The Jaguar had three further owners, all in Essex, and in January 1996 was inspected by Cartwrights, being described as in first class condition, only requiring a handful of minor works to bring it to concours standard. It was then sold to Bespokes Classic Car Hire Ltd of Watford. In May 2001 a replacement engine (number 'ZA2643-8') was sourced from VSE and fitted, and in October 2004 the car was acquired from West Barn Classic Ltd by the Classic Car Club of London N1. The current vendor bought 'LFF 810' from Epping Motor Company in February 2007.Since then the Jaguar has been extensively campaigned and enjoyed, as detailed in the vendor's fascinating personal log of all activities, maintenance work, expenditure and mileage totals (perusal recommended). Events attended and venues visited include the Goodwood Revival; Norwich Union Run; Circuit de Reims; Circuit Paul Armagnac, Nogaro; Circuit des Ramparts, Angoulême; Beaulieu Autoumble; and Brooklands. The car's most recent adventure involved an extended tour of France in September/October 2018, during which it covered 1,835 miles in three weeks with no problems apart from a couple of easily fixed fluid leaks. The aforementioned log shows that 'LFF 810' has been maintained with no expense spared while in the vendor's long-term stewardship. Major works undertaken include an engine overhaul by marque specialist Alan Collins in the winter 2011/2012, and overhaul of the suspension, brakes, and steering by JD Classics in August 2014. JD Classics also fitted a pair of refurbished 2' SU HD8 carburettors, replacing the standard (and worn) 1¾' items, together with a suitably modified inlet manifold. In April 2016 extensive bodywork repairs and full re-spray were carried out by Splined Hub; bonnet louvres were cut at the same time, and the interior woodwork re-lacquered and veneer on dashboard panels replaced. Described by the vendor as in generally good condition, this obviously much-loved Jaguar Mk2 is offered with a V5C document; bills relating to the 2016 restoration; and the aforementioned log.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 79/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

Offered from a distinguished private collection,1964 Jaguar Mk 2 3.8-Litre 'Coombs Replica' Sports Saloon Chassis no. 2335171964 Jaguar Mk 2 3.8-Litre 'Coombs Replica' Sports SaloonRegistration no. HPA 700CChassis no. 233517Odometer Reading: TBAMoT Expiry: Exempt*Rebuilt to 'Coombs' specification in the mid/late 1990s*Manual/overdrive transmission*Discreetly upgraded*Present ownership since April 2016A progressive development of the Mark 1, Jaguar's first unitary construction saloon, the Mark 2 made its debut in October 1959. Slimmer windscreen pillars and deeper side windows greatly enlarged the Mark 2's glass area, and the deletion of its predecessor's full-sized rear wheel spats allowed the rear track to be widened, a move which increased roll resistance and stability. Otherwise, the running gear remained much the same as before, with independent front suspension by wishbones and coil springs, leaf-sprung live rear axle, and Dunlop servo-assisted disc brakes (optional at first on the Mark 1 but standard from November 1957) on all four wheels. A redesigned dashboard with speedometer and rev-counter ahead of the driver and minor gauges grouped centrally established Jaguar's layout for years to come. With the Mark 2's arrival, the 3.8-litre version of Jaguar's XK 'six' became available for the first time in the company's medium-sized saloon. This engine, used previously in the Mark IX saloon, produced 220bhp at 5,500rpm, an output sufficient to propel the top-of-the-range Mark 2 to 125mph. Transmission options were a four-speed manual (with or without overdrive) or Borg-Warner automatic gearbox, an improved all-synchromesh version of the former being specified from 1965.The superb example offered here has been restored and rebuilt in the style of the racing Mark 2 saloons prepared and entered by Guildford-based Jaguar dealer John Coombs in the early 1960s. A Jaguar/Daimler dating letter on file reveals that chassis number '233517' was originally finished in dark blue with light blue trim (the same as it is today) and was retailed via Henlys. The Jaguar retains its original registration number, 'HPA 700C'.This car's history is not known prior to 1989 when it was acquired by Mr Ongun of London, to whom the aforementioned letter was addressed. Next owner Mr Vann acquired 'HPA 300C' in 1992 and it was he that commissioned its restoration. The no-expense-spared rebuild was commenced by marque specialists Three Point Four and completed in November 1997 by Scott-Moncrieff (see bills and photographs on file). The car was subsequently re-trimmed by renowned experts Suffolk & Turley. Its specification includes a rebuilt, balanced, and tuned engine; 2' SU carburettors on matching manifolds; front anti-roll bar; Koni shock absorbers; up-rated coil springs to the front suspension; Coombs-type rear wheelarches; Coombs-type chromed wire wheels; Moto-Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel; Pioneer stereo system; and discreet period-style circular mirrors to the window frames.The Jaguar remained with Mr Vann for the next 20-or-so years before being sold to the current vendor, a prominent private collector, by which time it had covered only some 8,000 miles since the restoration and was still in 'exemplary condition'. While in the vendor's care, 'HPA 300C' has been fastidiously maintained by Red Triangle, as evidenced by their bills on file.Presented in generally excellent condition, this discreetly upgraded 3.8-litre Mk2 is offered with the 2016 purchase receipt, copies of old V5/V5C documents, and the aforementioned invoices, etc.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 85/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

GCATL97706Odometer Reading: One mile since restorationMoT Expiry: 28/1/2020*Complete nut and bolt restoration*Rarely seen in this condition*Sensibly guidedEven the most distanced classic market watcher cannot have escaped the rising values of fast Fords in the past, but those with a blue oval appreciation would already have known about their excellent engineering, handling and performance, usually clothed in a relatively everyman bodyshell. The problem for today's would-be owner is finding a suitable car, so for anyone in the market for a Mk2 Escort RS2000, MPH proudly suggest this 1977 example. It was bought by the vendor two years ago and given a full, complete and intense nut-and-bolt restoration. The results speak for themselves or, as out vendor says, 'you won't find a better example on the market!'. It is clear the attention to detail cannot have been bettered: the bodywork and paint attest to careful execution, whether it is the straightness and alignment of the body panels, the application of the red paintwork or even the presentation of the external black trim, it is in the engine bay that attention to detail lives on. The interior is equally outstanding – seats, carpet, door panels and dashboard demonstrate a showroom-new air that is all-too-often never properly achieved. Equal attention has been applied to the car's underside and also its mechanicals, the vendor reporting the engine and the running gear are in excellent order throughout. In all, a thoroughly tempting offering for any fast Ford enthusiasts, or anyone who likes everyman performance cars from the pre-hatchback era.Please click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click hereFootnotes:Please note the odometer reading is 17.Please note the correct chassis number is GCATSL97706Vendor Score Total: 100/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

The car has an auxiliary electric cooling fan fitted. An exchange gearbox was fitted at 50,000 miles along with a replacement clutch and rear wheel bearings at 68,000 miles. A hard top is available, plus the soft top and tonneau cover. There is a workshop manual and almost complete run of Lotus Club magazines and comprehensive notes from the present owner's files.

1958 Edsel RangerRegistration no. 520 XVDChassis no. C9UF712999Odometer Reading: TBAMoT Expiry: Exempt *Second year of production*Bodywork requires some attention*Seldom seen in the UKThe Edsel story has gone into legend as the multi-million dollar flop, that resulted from Ford's market-grabbing intentions. The Edsel marque was conceived to fit between Mercury and Lincoln models by using Ford and Mercury bodyshells with dedicated Edsel front and rear sections. The 1958 model line-up comprised, in ascending order, Ranger, Pace, Corsair and Citation models. After 1958 the model range was slimmed-down and the last-gasp 1960 models used full-sized Ford bodyshells with trim and badging differences. This 1959 Ranger is powered by a Y-block V8, here in smaller 292 cubic inch (4.8-litre) form, with two-speed Mile-O-Matic transmission and was built on 10 December 1958 at the Lousville plant, painted Gold Metallic and Snow White with two-tone Green vinyl and Signet cloth trim. The bodywork is in average condition and the paint is poor, and it should be noted the bumpers have been painted. The green and light gold interior is generally good and the dashboard is also good. The engine is said to be poor for starting and running and the underbonnet presentation is average: running gear is reported to be in poor order.Rare in its homeland this 1959 Ranger requires attention but would make a thoroughly worthwhile project. Completed in December 1958 in the current colour combination of Gold Metallic and Snow White with a two tone vinyl and cloth interior. Fitted with the 292 ci V8 engine.

1989 Volvo 480 Turbo CoupéRegistration no. EIG 1012Chassis no. XLBEX063EKC541173Odometer Reading: 56,250MoT Expiry: 29/06/2021 *Rare manual gearbox model – one of a believed 12 survivors*Just 56,250 miles from new*Said to be running and driving 'beautifully' The Volvo 480 was a rare beast when new and even moreso today, and especially so in Turbo form. Drawing its inspiration from the early 1970s P1800ES, the 480 was a smaller sporting coupé built up to a quality and not down to a price. This 1989 model has had just three previous owners, the first two being father and son, spending all its life (until recently) in Ireland. It was laid up from 2013 until the end of 2019, the vendor says. Described as solid and original the typically solid Volvo bodywork is said to be very good, the paint, trim and wheels/tyres as good. The interior has original seats and trim, the seats reported as being very good and the remainder as good. The turbo-charged engine is vendor-assessed as being very good for starting and running and the car is said to drive beautifully. Running gear is assessed to be very good: new rear brake calipers and flexi-pipes have been fitted. A rare opportunity to buy one of Volvo's much-forgotten but blisteringly quick Turbo compact coupés, and one with traceable history and a recent service. One of just 12 believed to be left on the roads this is a fantastic opportunity to buy a low mileage, manual turbo example.

Offered here is an unmistakably yellow example whose body and paintwork present well, as do the trim and wheels/tyres. The brown interior is in good condition with some wear to the trim, centre console and the steering wheel, while the door cards and seat facings present well. Handbook and tools are included, along with t-top envelopes and armrest covers.If there's no substitute for cubic inches this 454 Corvette T-Top is the answer. It comes with good history including bills for more than£16,000 spent on restoration work. Also includes invoices and MoTs since 1975 confirming the original low mileage.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 93/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.
