- RHD manual transmission UK car supplied by Withers of Winchester - Rare example of the desirable Carrera 3.0 - Sport specification including sunroof and front spoiler - Recent bare metal repaint and light recommissioning - Registering 77,600 miles - In the previous ownership for 28 years and used sparingly - Expected to possess a fresh MOT by the time of sale Research indicates that just 3691 Carrera 3.0s left the Zuffenhausen factory between 1976 and 1977, making this a rare example of an increasingly collectible model. Built for the non-American market only, the model's K-Jetronic fuel injection system resulted in a torque curve belying the loss of 10bhp over the Carrera 2.7 it replaced, whilst allowing up to 25% better fuel economy - a perfect remedy for the aftermath of the 1973 oil crisis when Porsche had to adapt its range to the new realities of rising petrol prices and stricter emission controls. Developing some 200bhp at 6000rpm and developing 216 lb ft of torque at 4200rpm, 0-60mph was available in just 6.3 seconds with a nominal top speed of over 145mph. A RHD UK car with manual transmission combined with the desirable Sport package including front and rear spoilers, RUL 5R was supplied new by Withers of WInchester and first registered on 12 April 1977. Following a brief sojourn in Australia in the late 1980s, the car returned to the UK and was placed into storage. Following acquisition by the current owner it has been the subject of a recent bare metal repaint in metallic red - the vendor advising no signs of accident damage or repairs were found during this process. Having been sparingly used by a previous long-term owner, it now registers a believed genuine 77,673 miles on its odometer at the time of cataloguing and further benefits from Fuchs alloys and the desirable option of a sunroof. Offered with Swansea V5 document, handbook and assorted invoices, RUL 5R is expected to possess a fresh MoT certificate by the time of sale. As prices of RS models continue to accelerate beyond the means of most collectors, the limited production Carrera 3.0 must surely represent a wise investment.
- Built for Hugh C. Hunter by R.R. Jackson of Brooklands fame with input from Zillwood `Sinbad' Milledge - Raced pre- and post-WW2 at Brooklands, Crystal Palace, Shelsey Walsh, Silverstone and Goodwood etc - Current ownership since 1990 with numerous HGPCA, VSCC and Goodwood Revival outings - Supercharged Alta DOHC engine, independent suspension and ENV pre-selector transmission - The subject of a feature article by Mick Walsh in Classic & Sports Car magazine Further Info: `I consider Geoffrey Taylor, the Alta's designer, as a sort of pre-war Colin Chapman ahead of his time and very concerned with lightness. And he designed and built virtually everything the engine, supercharger and chassis. I think the Alta's rigid chassis and independent suspension would have had much more influence if the war hadn't got in the way. It was very light - the car weighed 11.5cwt, less than the ERAs, the 4CLT Maserati or the MG and Riley specials it was up against. With a 2-litre engine it began to match, even sometimes beat the ERAs, which were the top voiturettes at the time' (F1 and Indy Car designer Len Terry, Motor Sport May 2001). Born into a wealthy family, Hugh Curling Hunter became altogether more serious about his racing during 1937 when, at the age of twenty-six, he bought a Frazer Nash-BMW 328 and Alta Voiturette Single-Seater. Designated chassis 62IS (I = Independent Suspension, S = Supercharged), the latter was delivered to R.R. Jackson's Brooklands premises as a kit of parts. An Alta owner himself, the famed tuner / special builder entrusted the project to his lead consultant Zillwood `Sinbad' Milledge who had proven adept at sorting suspension geometry, designing crankshafts / conrods / brake drums and crafting aerodynamic bodywork. Aside from Hugh Hunter's Alta, Milledge helped hone the Multi-Union, Appleton Special, Bentley Jackson and Freikaiserwagen among others. Sporting a higher headrest fairing and more enveloping silhouette than George Abecassis' similar Alta (chassis 61IS), Hugh Hunter's car yielded him a coveted Brooklands 120mph badge and also showed considerable pace at Crystal Palace and Shelsey Walsh. Campaigned throughout 1938 and into the following year before being supplanted in Hunter's affections by an ex-Mille Miglia winning Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B, chassis 62IS changed hands several times during WW2. Reputedly resident in a china shop for a while, the advent of peace saw J.H. Williams acquire the single-seater. Rebodied in the style of a post-WW2 Alta Grand Prix car with what is rumoured to have been factory assistance, chassis 62IS resumed its racing career at a variety of sprint and hillclimb venues not to mention such new circuits as Goodwood and Silverstone. Sold by Mr Williams to Basil Tye, the Alta is known to have belonged thereafter to Lady Mary Grosvenor (who campaigned it in 1.5 and 2.0 litre guises), Albert Wake, Frank Lockhart, Bill Little, Hugh Clifford, John Bateson, Vintage Racing Autos, Hugh Clifford (again), Peter and John Moores, John Pearson and Bob Jones before entering the current ownership during 1990. Extensively fettled thereafter - including the fitment of a more pre-WW2 looking body - chassis 62IS has enjoyed numerous outings with the Historic Grand Prix Cars' Association and Vintage Sports Car Club. Invited to participate in the first Goodwood Revival meeting some seventeen years ago, it has since contested the Goodwood Trophy for Grand Prix and Voiturette cars on several occasions the last being in 2010. Understood to displace over 2 litres, its four-cylinder DOHC Alta engine is allied to ENV four-speed pre-selector transmission. Not campaigned of late, the single-seater is nevertheless in running order and has recently been driven by Mick Walsh as part of a multi-page feature article due to appear in an upcoming issue of Classic & Sportscar magazine. Eligible for numerous prestigious events, this historic Alta is offered for sale with a spare set of wheels, expired FIA papers plus sundry other documentation and spares.
- Charming example finished in cream / black - Comprehensively restored in France and imported to UK in 2014 - 'Tourist Large' bodywork with bench seat Owing its name to the combination of the founders' names, Joseph Lamy and Emile Akar (although their first automobile was actually designed by one Edmond Moyet who worked for Citroen), Amilcar was the quintessential small French sportscar of the 1920s and, as with compatriot `Light Car' Salmson, the St Denis then Boulogne-sur-Seine based constructor's light cars were an instant success but diversified into the heavier touring car market during the 1930s. Having eventually passed into Hotchkiss ownership, however, in 1937 the Amilcar name was applied to the 'Compound', but the model was not pursued. This example of the Amilcar Type CC was imported from France in 2014 by the vendor, and given its age related BF 7125 registration by the DVLA. He advises that based on his experience of re-commissioning it, the car appears to have covered a relatively small mileage, the threads and splines and brake joints being very little worn. It was meticulously restored in Frejus to a very high standard for its previous French owner, who used it in local Amilcar events. The hood is reported as being new and comfortable. Although the car was registered as 1926 by the French authorities and on the accompanying Swansea V5, the Type CC was discontinued in 1925, and the exact date of manufacture seems likely to have been in 1923. From 1923 the electric starter became an available option although this example is not so provided, but starts readily on the handle fitted. The Bodywork is the "Tourist Large" variety, also a 1923 option, with a single bench seat and slightly wider wings. It is said to drive very amenably, the clutch disengaging well, and taking up smoothly and without slippage. Offered with aforementioned V5 document, this charming Amilcar, finished in Cream/Black with Black interior, is offered for sale due to the owner downsizing.
- One owner from new and waxoyled upon delivery - Unused since cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment two years ago - Original radio still fitted and MOT'd until June 2016 Further Info: Debuting in America during 1979 as the 'Rabbit Pickup', the Volkswagen Type 14 Light Commercial was renamed 'Caddy' for its European launch some three years later. A derivative of the Giorgetto Giugiaro-penned Golf MKI, the Type 14 remained in production until 1992 and proved a durable yet stylish workhorse. This decidedly smart example was purchased new by the vendor in February 1992. It was apparently Waxoyled at birth and the load space has always been covered. Two years ago 'J970 FAB' was shipped to Vienna and refurbished - during which it was treated to a new cam belt, clutch and tyres, the starter overhauled, and the vehicle once again Waxoyled for good measure. Finished in Red and trimmed in Grey cloth, the Caddy has remained unused since the work was completed, and is therefore currently regarded by the vendor as having 'outstanding' bodywork and paintwork, 'excellent' interior trim, and 'very good' four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual gearbox. It is now offered complete with its original radio plus a fresh MOT certificate.
PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been informed that this vehicle was supplied new to the Home Office Civil Defence and not the MOD. Apparently, the 'SXF' series were the last batch of Land-Rovers to be ordered by the Home Office, and as such had a very gentle life, as Civil Defence was wound down a few years later. They were released into civilian life with low mileage, and so have been very attractive to Series 1 enthusiasts. - Just emerged from a painstaking 'chassis up, body off' restoration - Engine thoroughly overhauled by Agra Engineering Ltd - ex-MOD specification, MOT'd until June 2016, Heritage Certificate Further Info: Designed by Maurice Wilks in 1947, a Land-Rover rates highly on any list of the world's most significant vehicles, and the earlier - and therefore purer - the better. By the 1957 model year, during which this example was made, weak points had been ironed out to bring the 4x4 to a specification that would last for decades. A simple ladder frame chassis, steel bulkhead and rugged square-formed aluminium panels created a strong workhorse for light industrial, countryside and military use alike. In 1954, 86-inch and 107-inch wheelbases were introduced, and by 1957, a 'high-speed' 2-litre diesel motor was added to the power options. This diesel engine necessitated Solihull lengthening the front part of the chassis, bringing the Landie to its 88-inch and 109-inch wheelbases which then ran until the introduction of coil springing in the mid 1980s. To ex-MOD specification, chassis 111701995 has only just emerged from a painstaking 'chassis up, body off' restoration by skilled technicians. Fully re-wired to correct period specification, the Landie has also had attention paid to its steering, suspension and brakes etc not to mention a thorough engine overhaul courtesy of classic engine specialists Agra Engineering Ltd. The powerplant in question being a correct-type but replacement 2-litre petrol unit that is thought to date from its military days. Sporting a new canvas tilt and fresh tyres, the 4x4 is described by the vendor as being in 'excellent' condition with regard to its bodywork, paintwork, engine and interior trim (while, he rates the transmission as 'good'). Given the ever increasing costs of professional restoration, this decidedly smart Series I represents good value for money and comes with Heritage and MOT certificates (the latter valid until June 2016).
PLEASE NOTE: This vehicles doors are protruding due to the fitment of new Alfa Romeo rubber seals. - Two owners from new and dry stored for the last thirty-one years - Stripped to a bare shell and fully restored by Severn Classics to 'FIA' spec - Approx. 80:20 split between new Alfaholics and refurbished original parts Further Info: The immortally handsome 105/115 Series Coupes were manufactured by Alfa Romeo from 1963 to 1977. Their ground-breaking lines were among the first to be penned for Bertone by the, as yet, relatively unknown master stylist Giorgetto Giugiaro. The Sprint GT was the first variant offered and had a three-year lifespan - 1963-1966, and was powered by a lusty 1570cc version of Alfa's sonorous light-alloy twin-cam engine. The model was very well received and some 31,955 examples were produced all told, a good number of which found their way into motorsport, where they were very successful - and still are today, courtesy of a vibrant range of suitable historic formulae. If you're looking to compete in a Sprint GT, then this, 'as-new', Rosso Red Alfa is for you. A genuine two-owner car, it was dry-stored for 31 years before being treated to a ground-up restoration by Severn Classics, during which it was prepared to 'FIA standard' for hill climbing, sprinting and racing. The vendor says there are too many new parts to mention, but reckons 20 percent of the mechanical items have been professionally refurbished, and the other 80 percent replaced with fresh ones from marque specialist Alfaholics. The Sprint was initially stripped, shot-blasted and new floor pans, door skins, bonnet, boot and wide arches installed. The engine was dipped, vapour blasted and sonic cleaned, and then fully refurbished; as were the gearbox, rear axle and braking and suspension systems. The motorsport parts include roll cage, competition seats and belts, alloy panelling and fuel tank, and the new tyres and Gold-coloured 8x15 wheels on which the Alfa now rides. Now considered by the vendor to be 'excellent' in all major respects, it is on the button and ready for a new keeper to enjoy; and indeed win with.
- Awarded 3rd place at the 1000-strong 2014 Tatton Park Show - Restored in 2013-2014 with help from TR Bitz - Said to be in 'excellent overall' condition Further Info: Interest in 'microcars' has been on the rise for some time, of which many view the tandem seat Messerschmitts as the cream of the crop. This delightful KR200 Cabriolet hails from 1961 and was apparently restored between 2013 and 2014, with the assistance of TR Bitz of Aerodrome Garage, Cheshire. The vendor now views the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as all being in 'excellent' order and, to prove the point, 'TJY 356' last year won 'Third In Show' in a 1000-strong concours event at Tatton Park, Cheshire. The Messerschmitt's streamlined aircraft-style body is finished in Red and trimmed in Black vinyl. It is powered by the standard specification 191cc Fichtel & Sachs single-cylinder two-stroke engine which, thanks to the KR200's light weight and effective aerodynamics, is sufficient to propel the little two-seater to c.60mph - a speed it can attain backwards as well as forwards, as the reversible ignition allows the four-speed transmission to operate in both directions!
- Desirable specification: 327ci (5.4 litre) V8 and 4-speed manual gearbox - Treated to an extensive 'chassis up' restoration with numerous powder-coated parts - Former show winner and said to be 'a dream to drive' Further Info: Now in its seventh generation, the 'Vette began life in 1953 with the C1 - a model that inspired a generation of American youngsters and presented Ford with a nine year headache. It was the work of the legendary Harley Earl and inspired by the great European road/race offerings of the day. It borrowed its name - of French origin - from centuries of small, fast warships. The newcomer was first seen in concept form at the New York Auto Show, and generated sufficient interest for General Motors to hand-build a batch of 300 Polo White Convertibles. Sales, slow at first, had built to no less than 14,000 per annum by the introduction of the C2 10 years later. The C1 received multiple cosmetic updates along the way, the most significant of which came in 1958 when the nose was lengthened and dual headlights introduced. The model was initially only available with a straight-six powerplant, but by 1962 it could be bought with a thumping great 327ci (5.3-litre) V8 under the bonnet, making this the fastest and arguably most desirable version of America's first true sports car. The very smart C1 on offer is a perfect example of that ultimate iteration. Reportedly to period specification apart from its gleaming Pearlescent White paintwork, the two-seater is further understood to have been completely stripped and restored in the USA. The chassis and ancillary parts were powder-coated and all the main components renewed - the labels for which are still available. The vendor informs us that this show-winning 'Vette 'is a real head turner and a dream to drive, with loads of long-legged power on tap. The steering is light and the brakes firm and efficient'. Evidently the Chevy's 327ci V8 and four-speed manual transmission are reliable, and the car has just completed a 160 mile rally around Avalon without a hitch. A truly rare opportunity.
- One of very few known survivors from 89 such cars built - Versatile Doctor's Coupe coachwork complete with dickey seat - Said to 'start instantly' and be 'a pleasure to drive at B-road speeds' Further Info: This charming two-door Humber complete with commodious dickey seat is finished in Bright Blue over Black. The main compartment is upholstered in Beige-coloured buttoned Bedford cord, while that of the dickey seat is sensibly trimmed in Black Rexine. The hood is of Japanned Black leather and the smart little Coupe rides on Black-painted artillery wheels. According to the vendor, just 89 Humbers were built to this particular configuration, of which only one or two are thought to remain, making it an extremely rare motorcar. `BE 9292' has clearly had love and attention lavished upon it, and the vendor informs us that its 1670cc four-cylinder engine `starts instantly' and the Humber is `a pleasure to drive at B-road speeds', the steering is `light and delicate', and the manual gearchange is `tactile and easy to master'. Of charming period appearance, the Coupe comes complete with spare wheel and running-board mounted fuel can.
- Supplied new to K. Redgrave Esq. of Belgravia as a Thrupp & Maberly Drophead Coupe - Engineer owned since 1981 and extensively restored from a rolling chassis - New ash frame and body copied from another Thrupp & Maberly Drophead Coupe - Original engine overhauled with assistance from Fiennes Engineering - Large history file including copy chassis cards, numerous invoices / bills and photos of the restoration Further info: It is a sobering thought. Had Rolls-Royce not purchased its financially troubled competitor Bentley in 1931, the world would have been denied the Continental, Turbo R, Mulsanne and countless other iconic models subsequently graced with the 'Flying B'. Of particular loss for many, would have been the coachbuilt Derby Bentleys manufactured between 1933 and 1939. Their chassis was derived from an experimental supercharged 2.75-litre Rolls-Royce (codenamed Peregrine) that never saw the light of day, and power came from a redesigned and tuned version of the company's 20/25 engine, initially of 3.5-litres (3669cc). Fed by a pair of SU carburettors, it drove through a four-speed manual gearbox. The suspension was by semi-elliptic springs all-round and braking by servo assisted drums. The newcomer was introduced to the public in the appropriate surroundings of Ascot in the August of 1933, and production of these 3.5-litre cars continued into 1937; by which time 1,191 examples had been produced. The final year's allocation was manufactured alongside the incoming 4.25-litre (4257cc) version that would ultimately supersede the 3.5-litre one. Coachbuilders and body styles were the preserve of the customer and the following are just a few of the carrozzerias engaged to clothe these fine cars: Park Ward, Barker, Vanden Plas, Gurney Nutting, H.J. Mulliner, Hooper, James Young, Arthur Mulliner and, the focus of this particular lot, Thrupp & Maberly. Chassis B7BN came off test on September 3rd 1934 and was delivered to its first owner in February 1935. When discovered at Adams and Oliver by the vendor in 1981, it was effectively without a body - the only related items that could be rescued for reuse were the boot hinges and petrol filler door! So began a 25-year labour of love that resulted in the magnificent Derby Bentley we are now delighted to offer. The first task was to ascertain what type of body had originally been fitted, and chassis records obtained through the RREC quickly established it to be a Drophead Coupe by Thrupp & Maberly. It was evidently to the order made on July 10th 1934 by a K. Redgrave Esq of Belgravia, who took delivery of his sparkling new car on the ensuing February 16th. The records also showed the original registration to have been 'BLA 218', which the DVLA was happily able to reallocate. Coachbuilder Derek Leyshon-James of Hereford had already been earmarked as the man to fashion the new coachwork and, by another stroke of good fortune, was commissioned to work on a Thrupp & Maberly Derby body of exactly the right type, so a ready template was available. Replacements for the many other missing parts were patiently obtained by writing letters, attending autojumbles, scanning the classified columns of Motor Sport etc, and slowly but surely the project came together. The finished article was sprayed in Jaguar Indigo Blue over Peugeot Rhapsodie by a specialist in Shropshire. The trim and carpets were supplied by a neighbour 'he operates from his garden shed and does such excellent work you have to book him a year ahead'! The rechroming was carried out by Derby Plating and the new toughened glass supplied by Romans of Hereford. Both the engine and gearbox were overhauled (the former with help from Fiennes) and much restorative work carried out on the suspension and front axle. A new fuel tank has recently been installed by Fiennes, along with an uprated clutch. A new suitably caring keeper is now sought for this wonderful period Bentley as, despite all the work he has painstakingly carried out over the years, the vendor (a retired Sales Engineer) reluctantly accepts he is no longer of an age to enjoy B7BN to the full.
- Reputedly 1 of just 10 or so survivors known to the Riley Register - 'Barn Find' with the makings of a worthwhile restoration project - 1.5-litre six-cylinder engine believed original and in running order Further Info: This 'barn find' 12/6 is fitted with Fastback Kestrel four-light saloon coachwork and is one of only a few hundred such models made, of which just 10 or so are reputedly known to the Riley Register; so it's a rare car by any standards. The popularity of Riley 'twin-cam' OHV six-cylinder engines with the racing and special building fraternities means that many of its siblings have been cannabilised over time (displacing 1458cc the 12/6 powerplant is well suited to 1500cc class events). First road registered as 'GS 3741' by Perthshire County Council on April 8th 1933, chassis 44T254 has since been issued with the number plate '533 YUM' and is still recorded on both the DVLA and HPi databases. The vendor describes the Riley as follows - coachwork: 'sound but in need of restoration', paintwork: 'tatty', brown leather upholstery / four-speed (helical) manual gearbox: 'good', and six-cylinder engine: 'running but would doubtless benefit from further recommissioning'. All things considered - a very worthwhile project with which to while away the next winter. The doors are understood to open and close without undue difficulty and the engine (numbered as 12T254) is thought to be the original factory-installed unit.
- c.38,000 miles will extensive Mercedes-Benz and specialist service history - Factory hard top, Xenon headlights - Silver with light grey leather The fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz's much-vaunted SL model (the R129 Series) was launched at the Geneva Motor Show of 1989. It was a beautifully-engineered motorcar that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. The specification included independent suspension all round (double wishbone at the front/five link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar and front air bags. When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder engine of 220bhp and was continued through to 2002. This fastidiously maintained right-hand drive example has covered some c.38,780 miles with extensive Mercedes-Benz and specialist service history. Finished in silver with light grey leather, options include a factory hard top and Xenon headlights. The air-conditioning is said to be "ice cold" and the car "beautiful" and a "fantastic driver". Resident in the Channel Islands, the vendor advises it will be offered with taxes paid.
- Retained by its previous keeper's family for c.40 years - Subject to a decades long restoration and still very smart - More recent attention to clutch, dynastart, lighting, brakes, tyres etc Further Info: This charming Vintage Tourer benefited from a major restoration not many years ago, since when it has covered very few miles. The previous family retained 'DP 7434' for no less than 40 years and it was during their tenure that a decades' long programme of improvement took place. Still more restorative work has occurred since the latest keeper took charge and included the installation of new gaskets and seals, Hardy Spicer propshaft discs, front dampers, and tyres (including spare). The braking system, wiring and Dynastart assembly have been overhauled and the Humber treated to a full service. It is beautifully finished in Grey over Black and trimmed in Brown button hide. The easily erected hood is of double duck. The vendor informs us that 'the engine starts easily and runs like new, the steering is light and direct, the suspension taut and the car a real pleasure to drive, with performance arguably a little superior to that of a comparable Rolls-Royce 20hp'. 'DP 7434' comes complete with running board-mounted fuel can and radiator topped with characterful temperature gauge.
