Aluminium-bodied BT7 with a factory hard top, fast-road engine, 'Tulip' gearbox and an ARX registration number.The Austin Healey 3000 has become one of the best-known British classic cars of the 1950s and 1960s following spectacular success in international rallying and circuit racing. A development of the Austin Healey 100-6, itself born of the four-cylinder 100, the 3000 was launched in March 1959 and was a significant improvement on the earlier cars featuring front disc brakes, wire wheels as standard and a more powerful (124bhp) 2,912cc BMC C-Series engine, ensuring a top speed of approximately 120mph. There was also a choice of two seater (BN7) or 2+2 (BT7) body styles. The new 3000 was an instant success on the road, on the track and on the rally stage and has enjoyed a large club following ever since.Originally delivered new to Paris in 1961, it's believed that this Big Healey’s competition background commenced soon after rolling off the production line with the vehicle being shipped to Canada later that year to participate in the Canadian Winter Rally.  Returning to the UK in the 1980s, the Healey was purchased by well known and respected Historic Rally Champion, Paul Howcroft, who commissioned Bob Brain, the renowned historic rally preparation specialist, to work his magic on the BT7. A full and extensive rebuild followed including conversion to right-hand drive format resulting in the Healey as we see it today.The extensive specification includes a superb body clad externally in aluminium panels finished in BMC Competition Racing Green with an Old English White factory hard top, a full roll-cage, a 'fast road' engine incorporating an alloy cylinder head with triple Weber carburettors, six-branch manifold, a straight-cut Tulip gearbox, alloy fuel tank, all round disc brakes, Minilite knock-on alloy wheels and a competition-style interior.Campaigned in historic rally events over the years with great success and remaining in outstanding condition throughout, the opportunity now arises for the next custodian to continue this venerable Healey's onward journey be that as a 'fast road' endurance car, an historic rally car or possibly further uprating to an FIA race car. An exciting opportunity with numerous possibilities and most of the hard work has been done.SpecificationMake: AUSTINModel: AUSTIN HEALEY MK1Year: 1961Chassis Number: HBt7L/14520Registration Number: 266 ARXTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 29ERUH/1961Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Offered from The Twin Sparks Collection, a very late production, matching numbers, 1,071S in simply outstanding condition.The Mini Cooper needs no real introduction. Featuring highly, if not claiming top spot on every ‘iconic car through history’ list with its praise, popularity and successes all totally justified, made famous by the integrity of its engineering, charming looks, big screen provenance and giant-killing handling.Racing car manufacturer John Cooper was already the guru on tuning BMC's A-Series engine, running the company's Formula Junior effort at the time and a test drive in a prototype Mini convinced him of its competition potential. John Cooper appealed to BMC Management, with Issigonis' concerns being disregarded and the two good friends eventually cooperating in creating what rapidly became, and still remains, a legendary little motor car. The ‘S’ featured larger disc brakes, a vacuum-assisted brake booster, offset steel wheels which had been widened to 4½ inches, more luxurious upholstery, a 120mph speedometer and discrete 'S' badges on the bonnet and boot. They were subtle upgrades with the real changes made to the adaptable A-series engine. Mechanically, the 1071cc engine featured a cast engine block, with a special nitride steel crankshaft and a freer flowing cylinder head that was more suitable for racing.First launched in 1963, and only seeing a production run of just over 18 months with 4,000 cars produced, the Mini Cooper 1071 S managed to create a reputation and see competition success that was wildly disproportionate to the sales figures. It may have only pushed out 75bhp with 62lb/ft of torque, but when there’s only 686kg to pull around, it is fair to say it was a magic recipe for success. With the likes of Paddy Hopkirk, Timo Makinen and John Rhodes at the helm, most corners could be taken flat, culminating in a plethora of overall victories on roads, tracks and rallies.The car presented here is a 1964 Morris Mini Cooper 1071cc S manufactured on 23rd June 1964 and supplied new to its first owner through The Morris Garages of Oxford. While it was originally Tweed Grey with an Old English White roof, it now wears Tartan Red with Black roof  paired with a Tartan Red/Gold Brocade-Grey interior. Interestingly, the car was one of the last off the line, the 54th last produced, and wasn’t registered until 1st January 1965.Clearly cherished, maintained, and cared for, this wonderful Mini is absolutely on the button. The engine turns over at the first flick, with no coughing or spluttering, and drives with exactly the magic one has come to expect from these little Coops. The history file is fairly sparse, however, it does feature the Heritage Certificate showing it to still be matching numbers, a scan of the buff logbook and a selection of old MOTs.Make no mistake, this is a superb little car. With only a few miles covered since its restoration, this 1071 Cooper S will make a useful and fun purchase, safe in the knowledge that all the hard work has been done.SpecificationMake: MINIModel: COOPER S 1071Year: 1965Chassis Number: KA2S4563438Registration Number: BRT 971CTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 9FSAH33764Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 3120 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Red/GreyClick here for more details and images

1938 Rover 10 1398cc 4 door saloon Original brown leather seating and registration number  Registration:  EYL 698 Chassis: 802230 Odometer: 92,000 Transmission:  Manual MOT: Exempt No Reserve Outside Finished in the very traditional pre-war colour of black. Whilst there is no signs of rust on the body , the paint has issues all over the car , looking good from 10 feet but closer inspection reveals micro blistering to most panels which some may say adds to the charm and usability. The chrome is aged but in serviceable condition and matches the paint , though the Lucas side lights have lost all there finish and are down to the under paint. The wheels are in good order and the tyres have plenty of tread depth. Inside This is where the magic of this car really shines. The seats are original and in fine condition with the exception of the seam on the offside rear seat having a split and a small tear on the front passenger seat. The door cards and headlining are without issue. Mechanicals  The Rover starts readily and when driven around our yard appeared to perform well, stopping and steering as sit should though we have not had the opportunity to test if the Freewheel function is operational. History This charming Rover was registered in London central on 2nd June 1938. Sadly, little is known about its history other than it has had five former keepers and been in the current ownership since 2015. Our Opinion This is an inexpensive opportunity to enter the fabulous world of pre-war motoring. The Rover is in delightful patinated condition which means it can be used without fear of damage and of course would allow entry to the highly popular “oily rag” events. These cars are easy to maintain , spares readily available and supported by the excellent Rover Sports register car club.
