A good opportunity to recommission this beautiful V12 Ferrari GT, just 14,318 miles.UK-supplied, right-hand drive 456 Modificata Automatic. Just 14,318 miles (atoc) from newThe definitive Grand Tourer - fast yet practical, front-engined, 436bhp, 5.5-litre V12Well presented in Azzuro California with light tan leather and dark blue carpetsMost recent MOT dated 2013 but appears to have been stored correctly sinceThis car has formed part of a large collection with little or no use. Will require a degree of mechanical recommissioning, offered as a non-runnerPowered by what was essentially a detuned version of the engine powering the 550 and 575, the new 5.5-litre V12 unleashed no less than 436 bhp and, except for the F40, the 456 was the most powerful road car developed by Ferrari up to that point. Pininfarina worked its magic on the 456 to create a subtly beautiful curvaceous body contrasting with the hard edges of its predecessor. Aerodynamically efficient, the 456 remained stable up to its maximum speed of around 190 mph. Acclaimed on its debut, the 456's styling has not dated and is a tribute to Pininfarina's vision in creating one of most beautiful vehicle designs of modern times. The 'Modificata' 456 M appeared in 1998, starting with chassis number 109589 and it incorporated a number of changes, including improvements to the aerodynamics and cooling. The interior, still featuring Connolly Leather, was also freshened up with new seats and other detailing. The updated 456M, which was the last Ferrari model to use pop-up headlamps, was replaced in 2004 by the 612 Scaglietti.Offered here is a UK supplied, right-hand drive 2001 Ferrari 456M GTA with just 14,319 miles displayed on the speedometer at the time of cataloguing. Presented in a beautiful colour combination of Azzuro California with light tan leather and dark blue carpets. This particular example formed part of a significant private collection and appears to have been stored correctly over the years however may not have been used for some time. Consequently, the Ferrari is offered 'as is' and should be considered a non-runner. The last MOT expired on 7th March 2013 and before any attempt is made to start this car we would suggest a thorough inspection, the Cam-belts are replaced and all fluids changed as a minimum.Guided accordingly, this is an exciting opportunity to recommission this wonderful GT which, with all the work completed will provide its new owner with many years of enjoyment.In recent years this motorcar has formed part of a large collection and as such has received little or no use, an element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once again.

Blistering performance, classic looks and only 25,600 miles from new.First registered on the 07/03/2003 and UK supplied in Brilliant Silver Metallic with grey leatherCivilised supercar performance sprinkled with some AMG magic dust At launch, the 5.5-litre V8 engine propelled the car to 62mph in 4.2 seconds The service book shows eight stamps, the majority of which are Mercedes-Benz main dealerExtensive spec from new to include AMG Styling Package front spoiler and side skirtAccompanied by all the book packs, older MOTs, service receipts and both keysPresented to auction with an MOT until 03/02/2021 and an odometer reading of some 25,600 (atoc)Introduced in 2002, after some five years in development, the R230 Series SL Roadster was an engineering 'tour de force'. Painstakingly modelled on a state-of-the-art supercomputer which enabled the designers to analyse every curve and line, it looked utterly sensational with an air of barely contained aggression that gave it huge road presence. Packed full of sophisticated electronic driver aids which made it immensely safe but also fun to drive, it was an instant hit with press and public alike and is widely considered to be the best-looking Mercedes for many years. The power-operated aluminium folding roof was particularly admired and would disappear into the top of the boot at the press of a button in just 16 seconds, yet still leave enough room underneath for 206 litres of luggage space. It was in 2003 that the stunning looking SL55 AMG version was introduced. Seriously powerful and massively fast, the 5.4-litre engine gave 476 BHP and a tree stump pulling 520lbs/ feet of torque!First registered on the 7th March 2003, this SL is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic with Grey leather and Designo Alcantara headlining. The options list in 2003 was packed full of state-of-the-art equipment and, it would appear in this case, most of the boxes had been ticked. The history file is rather well stocked for such a modern car and includes many main dealers receipts and a service history that includes five main dealer stamps with three specialist stamps. Showing an odometer reading of some 26,500 miles, at the time of cataloguing this car presents incredible value for money and still holds its own against modern Mercedes.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveStunning looks, sculpted interior, creamy V6, manual box and four-wheel driveUK-supplied in right-hand drive and first registered on 01/09/2006Finished in Alfa Red with black leather and 18", 7-hole design alloysJoined our vendor's collection in March 2009, as just the second ownerVery hard to find, with only three 3.2 V6 Q4s available for sale in the UK at the timeComprehensive history with five services listed + a geometry check34,338 miles fully supported by MOTs from the first on 08/09/2009 at 14,814 milesMost recent MOT 11/06/2020 with no advisoriesOriginal Alfa book pack with service and warranty booklets, owner's manual, sound system manual etc. and a copy of the original sales brochureVAT qualifying, so 20% to be added to the hammer price"For the Alfa Romeo Brera, Giorgetto Giugiaro set out to look within himself, fine-tuning the concept of a contemporary, elegant, refined and essential car that could stand as the quintessence of the brand and its history and express technological development, though compressed into an almost intimate and discreet blend: the very requirements of elegance and classicism, of objects that are designed to last in time." (Ital Design).That was a direct quote from the advanced publicity for the Brera Concept in 2003 and could easily be dismissed as 'marketing-speak', however, we all know that when the boys at Alfa dip into their pencil box, the result is usually rather special and, when the production version of the Brera arrived late in 2005, it was met with uniform praise for its exterior and interior styling.It was never meant to be a road-going car - it actually started life as an Ital Design concept car based around a Maserati in 2003, however, Alfa submitted to demand and went ahead with a production version. Developed alongside the 159, the Brera shares exterior and interior styling cues, as well as engines and gearboxes.Launch engines were a choice of 182bhp 2.2-litre and a spine-tingling 256bhp 3.2 V6 petrol engines (utilising GM blocks with Alfa's magic added and bespoke heads) or a 2.4 diesel with 200bhp and 295lb ft of torque. The standard gearbox was a six-speed manual, although the 2.2 could be specified with optional Q-Tronic auto. The 3.2 V6 was very much the performance option and featured four-wheel drive with a Torsen diff, unlike the front-wheel-drive 4 cylinder cars.The fabulous example on offer from the SA30 Collection is a super rare UK-supplied, right-hand drive, top of the Brera range 3.2 V6 JTS Q4 with a 6-speed manual gearbox. It dates from 2006 and is finished in classic Alfa Red with a black leather interior and optioned with 18",7-hole design, alloys.From the comprehensive history file, we can see that it was first registered on 1/09/2006 and joined our vendor's collection on the 24/03/2009 with the one previous owners listed. We understand from our vendor that such was the demand for these sought after Alfas that he had to scour the UK to find one with only three being available at the time.In addition to always being comprehensively maintained by our vendor's in house team, the service record is fully stamped and shows the following;23/08/06 Pre-delivery services23/05/08 1st Service @ 8,732 miles16/03/09 2nd Service @ 12,345 miles19/08/10 Steering and geometry check8/11/14 Oil and Filter change @ 29,995 miles17/12/15 Oil and Filter service @ 32,082 milesThe mileage at the time of cataloguing was 34,338 miles. Within the file are older MOTs going back to the very first, on 8/09/09 @14,814 and the most recent which was issued on 11/06/20 with No Advisories. The original Alfa Romeo Book Pack is immaculate and contains the Service and Warranty Booklet, the Owner's Manual and the Sound System Manual. Pleasingly there is a mint copy of the original Brera/Spider brochure.As you can see from the other cars in the SA30 Collection, over vendor is particularly fastidious when it comes to the condition of his cars and this Alfa is no exception. It presents beautifully outside, inside, under the bonnet, in the boot - everywhere and we think that you would have to go a long way to find a better one. There can be no doubt that this must be a guaranteed 'future classic', with so many great ingredients.NB; The car is VAT qualifying, so 20% needs to be added to the hammer price.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveAn incredible survivor, a super rare very early car with only 37,087 miles from newOne family ownership for almost 55 yearsTartan Red with a grey and red interior. Fitted with the optional heater and wing mirrorsReplacement Gold Seal gearbox was fitted c1975/1976 along with a new rear subframe+In storage from 1976 until 2015 then recommissioned and fully serviced at c36,000 milesNew bumpers, a new set of tyres, Halogen headlamp bulbs, and BMC export-type seat beltsDocumentation includes a Heritage Certificate; original driver's handbook/maintenance book; original passport to service with stamps up to 27,276 miles; 1974 tax disc; BMC parts-list and workshop manual, plus a Scientific Publication workshop manualA work of true genius, the Mini not only became an icon of the Swinging Sixties but also influenced a whole generation of car designers and is widely considered to be the most influential car of the 20th Century. When it arrived in August 1959, it was sold and marketed under BMC's two main brand names, Austin and Morris, though apart from the badging, both the Seven and the Mini-Minor were virtually identical. By January 1962 the 'Seven' name was dropped and it became simply the Austin Mini although both Morris and Austin badged versions continued to be sold until 1969 by which time the car had become such an icon that all versions were simply known as the Mini.As the accompanying Heritage Certificate confirms, this Austin Seven Mini was built on 2nd December 1960 - the first full year of production - finished in Tartan Red with a Spanish Red and Fleck interior, fitted with the optional heater prior to being despatched to Weybridge Automobiles Ltd of Surrey where it was fitted with its wing mirrors.Its first owner was the dealer's brother-in-law who took delivery shortly before Christmas and used the car locally and for annual holidays in Bournemouth and he retained the car until his passing away in 1974, at which point the Mini had covered just 27,276 miles.Ownership then passed to his granddaughter who used it for day-to-day commuting for a couple of years before putting it into storage in 1976, at which point it still only had some 36,000 miles under its wheels. During her ownership, a replacement Gold Seal gearbox was fitted along with a new rear subframe, whilst the cable-operated door handles were also replaced with chrome accessory handles but the car otherwise remained totally standard. She also exchanged the original buff logbook for a V5 and disposed of the old MOT Certificates, although fortunately, she did keep the service records.The car was to remain in storage for the next three decades, although it was moved from a garage in Surrey to another in Kent at some point, and the engine was periodically started to keep it free. Brought out of storage in recent years, the Mini was thoroughly cleaned and brought up to MOT standard, great care being taken to preserve as much originality as possible. This amounted to little more than a full service and an overhaul of the braking system, although new bumpers were required front and rear along with a new set of tyres. Halogen headlamp bulbs have also been fitted along with a spin-off oil filter and BMC export-type seat belts. It passed the MOT test in April 2015 but is now MOT exempt.The car has covered under 37,100 miles from new and remains highly original in all important respects, including the interior trim and carpets, rivet type wheels, foam-filled sills and floor panels, floor starter, 'magic wand' gearstick and original Surrey registration. The previous owner stated that it appears never to have been welded and nor does it require any welding. While it could no doubt be transformed into a shiny new pin with some cosmetic detailing and an (unnecessary) full repaint, the previous owner much preferred to keep it as it is and reluctantly offered it for sale due to health problems. Subsequently, it has been looked after in our vendor's important collection ever since.Documentation includes the aforementioned Heritage Certificate; an original driver's handbook and maintenance book; original Passport to Service book with stamps up to 27,276 miles; 1974 tax disc; a BMC parts list and workshop manual plus a Scientific Publication workshop manual.This is not a no-expense-spared restoration of an early Mini, there are plenty of those about, but an incredibly low mileage, low ownership, matching numbers, original car that is still in extremely sharp condition and they are almost impossible to find. This little 'survivor' is sure to be of interest to the serious Mini collector.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The engine was essentially the same as the standard Turbo but was fitted with VarioCam Plus, a further development of the familiar VarioCam system, which changes both the intake camshaft timing (by as much as 25°) as well as the intake valve lift. Bigger turbos, from the X50 Powerkit, were fitted boosting output to 450bhp and the car's top speed broke through that magic 300km/h barrier, with a maximum of 190mph (307km/h) placing it firmly in supercar territory. PCCB Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes were fitted to the 'S' as standard.Supplied new by Porsche Centre Belfast and first registered on 19th July 2005, this beautiful manual Turbo S was specified with black paintwork and black leather interior. Options included Turbo Aero kit, heated seats, front spoiler lip, sunshine roof and telephone module.At the time of cataloguing the speedometer indicates just 18,079 miles and this is supported by entries in the service book with all routine servicing carried out by the supplying main dealer. Today this Turbo S presents in showroom condition with gleaming black paintwork retaining a deep gloss and pleasingly the interior shows very little signs of wear.Offered with a history file containing its original Porsche book pack with the aforementioned service book and owners manuals. Also supplied are the spare keys, current V5 and a new MOT certificate valid until 24th June 2021.Carefully selected to join other landmark Porsche models from all eras, this particular example formed part of a significant collection.

Porsche Certificate of AuthenticityOriginal book pack together with spare keys still in their leather pouchClassic 911 styling with a refined mechanical edgeThe 993 was the last of the air-cooled era of the 911 and reputably the car that nearly broke the company because of the incredible quality engineered into every variant. The water-cooled models that followed were a commercial success and Porsche were soon back in the black, but that magic, honed from granite, feel of the 993 would never feature in a 911 again.

* Buchinger (Matthias, 1674-1740). A bookform box with micrography, 1720/21, wooden and ivory bookform box, spine with carved raised bands, sliding lid and lower side with inset glazed calligraphic panels written in sepia ink on paper in a miniscule hand, that to lid with religious script forming the design of a chalice and wafer, within an arched frame of red ink volutes, a little stained, that to lower side with the Ten Commandments on stone tablets, within a similar red ink border, each with inscription below: 'Dublin febr. the 8 d 1720/21. This is Written by Mathew Buchinger born Without Hands or feet in Germany June the 3 d 1674', panels 47 x 30 mm, overall size 73 x 60 x 19 mmQty: (1)NOTESProvenance: Collection of Jack Webb (1923-2019), London. Matthias Buchinger, the so-called 'Little Man of Nuremberg', was a famous dwarf just 29 inches tall, born without legs and with truncated arms which had finlike appendages for hands. However, despite such disadvantages, he travelled widely in northern Europe, performing and excelling at many occupations associated with physical dexterity. He is most famed for his remarkable abilities as a calligrapher, specialising in micrography, but he also built highly detailed models of ships in bottles, as well as drew portraits, coats of arms, landscapes and family trees, many commissioned by royalty. He played at least 6 musical instruments, some of his own invention, performing for King George I, amongst others. He also danced the hornpipe, gave magic shows, and displayed his skill as a marksman and swordsman. He is known to have been performing in Dublin in 1720, and Belfast in 1722. Buchinger lived to the ripe old age of sixty-five, surviving three wives and marrying a fourth. He was famed for the number of mistresses he kept, and apparently fathered at least 14 children by 8 women. Specimens of Buchinger's calligraphy are rare, and we have not traced another such example of his work set into a box as here.
