Lot 2018
The CB750A, introduced in 1976, was a derivative of the single cam CB750 equipped with a two speed torque converter that dispensed with the need for a manual clutch. Unlike the "standard" CB750 the new model was equipped with a wet sump lubrication system which housed the oil for both the engine and transmission and the motorcycle was fitted with a parking brake. The machines styling differed from the manual transmission model significantly with a stepped saddle, high bars and large section rear tyre, anticipating the trends of the "factory customs" that would emerge from the Japanese factories as the decade closed. Unfortunately, Honda, like Moto Guzzi with the V1000 Convert, found that clutchless and automatic transmissions did not appeal to riders of large capacity machines with production ending in 1978 following disappointing sales, consequently the technically interesting CB750A is an extremely rare machine today and a must for any Honda collector. The example offered has been in the same ownership for the last 17 years having been imported from the States and has not been used for the last 12. It is described as having fair cosmetics and being "OK" mechanically and running, although it requires a battery, and is accompanied by a Swansea V5C.
Lot 2040
The Plover was the smallest production Francis-Barnett catalogued for the 1956 season utilising the 147cc Villiers 30C engine housed in a frame featuring a tubular steel front section combined with a pressed steel rear. The following year saw the model designation change to 78 from 73 with the Plover gaining a dual seat and revised exhaust system, continuing in this form for the next two years when the engine changed to an AMC unit. This older restoration is described as being in good condition throughout and prior to its acquisition in 2012 by the vendor had remained in the same family ownership from new with the father passing the machine onto the son. It is offered with a Swansea V5C together with an original owner's manual and parts list.
Lot 2073
The first Fireblade was introduced during 1992 with a four cylinder, double overhead camshaft engine with a displacement of 893cc. Great attention was paid during the design and development process to making the new machine as light and compact as possible. The original model was revised during 1994 and for 1996 a completely revised version, now displacing 919 cc was introduced, receiving a midlife revision in 1998. The new millennium witnessed the introduction of the CBR929RR with a displacement of 929cc. The new version featured an even more over square engine now fitted with fuel injection and lighter internals. The chassis was redesigned and a 17 inch front wheel replaced the 16 inch item previously employed. The example offered is described as being in excellent cosmetic condition. The vendor reports that the engine "runs ultra-smooth" with the transmission and electrical systems being described as "all working". It is offered with a full service history including stamped service books, a "stack of previous service invoices and past MOT's" and the original owner's manual. The vendor reports that it has been very well maintained and is presented in "immaculate original condition" with the exception of the aftermarket muffler.
Lot 4002
- Rare 4.2-litre non-overdrive manual specification with Ambla interior - 3 owners and 54,692 recorded miles - Well maintained example with Jaguar Heritage Certificate Further info: According to its Jaguar Heritage Certificate this manual transmission 4.2-litre XJ6 was manufactured on 21 May 1973 and sold by Dorchester Motor Co Ltd to a Dr D W Bradford of Charmouth, Dorset. Originally registered VJT 520L, the car was finished in White with special order Russet Ambla interior, colours it retains to this day. Purchased many years ago from a private Jaguar collection, the car has been cared for by Cambridge Motorsport and latterly by MASS Racing where engine work was undertaken. It is described as having "good" bodywork, "strong" engine with "good" oil pressure, "all working" electrics, "good" transmission and "excellent all original" interior. We are further advised the bodywork and paintwork have been attended to whenever needed and the engine fettled as required. Understood to have enjoyed just 3 owners, this rare specification non-overdrive XJ6 registers 54,692 miles and is offered with Swansea V5, history, and MoT to 20 October 2015.
Lot 4006
- Bodied by the Olympia Carriage Works Ltd of Hammersmith - Featured in The Beaulieu Encyclopaedia of the Automobile (Volume 2) - Well known in VCC circles (and dated on 24th August 1957) Further Info: Introduced in 1912, the Vinot 12/14hp was powered by a four-cylinder 1692cc monobloc engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. The former featured pressure lubrication; while the latter employed a vertical change mechanism (3rd and 4th being sited under 1st and 2nd within its cylindrical casing). One of just two cars known to have been bodied by the Olympia Carriage Works Ltd of Hammersmith - the other being a Bentley 3 Litre - chassis 16090 was first registered as `BL 4181' on 6th April 1915. Supplied new to Edward Freeman of Wellington College, the Tourer subsequently passed to Arthur Curtis of Middlesex (December 1916) and Arthur Short of Nottingham (March 1919). Reputedly belonging to the Skelmesdale Shoe and Slipper Co by c.1940, the Vinot was sold to Douglas Dixon of St Helens during 1956 and only entered the current family ownership upon his death some forty-four years later. Writing to Motor Sport magazine in June 1976, Mr Dixon recalled that he had (a) found the 12/14hp `in complete and original condition, only in need of a repaint', (b) `done many thousands of miles both on rallies and long runs for my own pleasure' and (c) placed 3rd-in-class during the VCC's 1960 Prescott meeting. Well known in Veteran Car Club circles since it was issued with Certificate of Dating No. 657 on 24th August 1957, `BL 4181' has also graced the pages of Veteran & Vintage magazine (June 1964) and The Beaulieu Encyclopaedia of the Automobile (Volume 2, edited by Nick Georgano). Treated to sundry rewiring in 2000 and refurbished wire wheels / fresh tyres in 2003, the Tourer underwent a thorough engine overhaul in 2005 (circa 800 miles ago). Upgraded with a dynamo, electric fan and modern starter motor, this delightfully patinated Vinot burst eagerly into life upon a recent inspection. Offered for sale with history file including old MOT certificates dating back to 1961, assorted marque information and numerous invoices.
Lot 4010
- Reputedly delivered new to Italy, shows 29,900 unwarranted kms - 1 of 7,738 S800 coupes produced between 1965 and 1970 - Highly advanced and jewel-like 791cc DOHC four-cylinder engine Further Info: This delightfully-presented left-hand drive, late series Honda S800 Coupe features White bodywork contrasted by Black interior trim. It is believed to have been delivered new to Italy and currently displays just 29,900 unwarranted kilometres. The vendor considers the 70bhp straight-four engine, four-speed manual gearbox, three-door bodywork, paintwork and interior trim to all be in `good' order. It is therefore a seemingly tidy example of a true automotive icon. The S800 was a direct development of the S600, Honda's first mass market car, that show-cased technology evolved from its Grand Prix-winning motorcycles. The all-aluminium, DOHC, 606cc, four-cylinder engine featured one Keihin carburettor per cylinder and revved to an (at the time) astonishing 8,500 rpm giving over 80bhp/ton. By the 1965 Tokyo Motorshow, the S600 had been supplanted by the bigger capacity (791cc) S800, just 11,536 examples of which were produced between then and 1970; 7,738 of which were Coupes like the sale car.
Lot 4011
- Conversion from left-hand drive Fixed Head Coupe - Engine overhauled, hood replaced, recent front brake discs and calipers - c.900 miles since completion Further info: Introduced in May 1957, the XK150 was the last Jaguar sports car to utilise a separate chassis. Initially powered by a 3442cc derivative of Jaguar's Le Mans-proven DOHC straight-six engine, the XK150 could be specified with an enlarged 3781cc unit from late 1959 onwards. At launch, the XK150 was offered in Fixed Head Coupe and Drophead Coupe guises, the Roadster option following in 1958. By the time the model was superseded by the E-Type in 1961, some 4,445 Fixed Head Coupes, 2,672 Drophead Coupes and 2,265 Roadsters are thought to have been produced. Upon purchase of this right hand drive manual transmission 3.4-litre drophead coupe conversion in 2013, the vendor was informed it had been created by a father and son team (based on lefthand drive Fixed Head Coupe chassis number S836774DN) over a period of five years between 2000 and 2005. Whilst no invoices exist for their labours, he advises the work was carried out to a high standard and included a comprehensive engine overhaul, retrimming of the interior in Parchment leather, a new hood and lining being sourced together with the fitment of new MWS chrome wire wheels. Following completion of the car's transformation we understand the DVLA issued the vehicle with a new chassis number which is recorded on the V5. This document appears to show the engine number incorrectly as V 7298-8 since the cylinder head is stamped V 4298-8. Having spent a number of subsequent years in storage it is believed just 900 miles have been covered since completion as evidenced by the odometer reading. More recent works include the fitting of new front discs and brake callipers earlier this year. Perfect for the approaching summer, the car is offered with a Swansea V5 document and current MoT expiring on 12 January 2016.
Lot 4019
- The best 964-series Turbo that we have offered thus far - Development engineer owned since 2003 and 86,700km recorded - Sympathetic but reversible upgrades by Ninemeister and RUF Further Info: Notable as the last of the rear-wheel drive, forced induction, air-cooled 911s (aside from the homologation special 993-series GT2), the 964-series Turbo is now beginning to receive the market attention it deserves. Introduced at the March 1990 Geneva Motor Show, a mere 3,660 Turbo II 3.3 litre cars are understood to have been made. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds and 168mph `out of the box', the model has proven amenable to significant tuning. Supplied new to Germany, this particular example is the best 964-series Turbo II 3.3 litre that we have thus far had the pleasure of offering for sale. Thought to have had just a single keeper prior to being imported to the UK during 1997, it has been in the current (second UK) ownership for the past twelve years. A development engineer whose CV includes stints at Cosworth, Roush, Ilmor and Shell, the vendor specifically chose a left-hand drive car on the basis that that is how Porsche had originally laid out the 964. Despite being a `hands on' enthusiast, he has done very little work to `J880 SWL' himself instead entrusting it to Warrington-based marque specialist Ninemeister on an annual basis (its last service being carried out on 23rd September 2014). The same company were responsible for reworking the Porsche's original engine so that it produced some 438hp and 582Nm during a May 2007 dyno test. Impressively, this sizeable jump in power and torque has been achieved (a) without an increase in turbo boost (which remains at the standard 0.7 bar) and (b) whilst making the flat-six less laggy and more tractable. Boasting a high-flow intake system, sports catalyst with standard rear silencer, RS single mass flywhweel and clutch plus stainless steel equal length exhaust manifolds, the 3.3 litre powerplant has its outputs metered via a five-speed G50 manual gearbox and special carbonetic LSD. Uprated KW suspension gives an extra measure of control, while a personal meeting between the seller and Alois Ruf led to the Porsche gaining RUF number plate surrounds, RUF exhaust tips and RUF 18-inch alloy wheels shod with Continental N2 tyres (as per Mr Ruf's recommendation). Kept in a dehumidified, insulated garage the Porsche shows no signs of bodywork corrosion and is believed to be still wearing its factory Polar Silver paintwork. The front seats feature 12-way electrical adjustment (a desirable option) and are trimmed in Black leather as are the door cards, dashboard, roof lining, sun visors and instrument surrounds. A Porsche non-airbag steering wheel has been installed together with a more modern Blaupunkt stereo (CD changer / DAB / SD card reader / iPod dock) and discreetly integrated Genesis Profile 5 amplifier. The ABS-backed four-wheeled vented disc brakes are standard and the air-conditioning is in full working order. The odometer currently shows some 86,695km (53,847 miles) which is deemed to represent the total covered from new. The vendor has pleasingly kept almost all the original parts so that `J880 SWL' can be returned to factory specification should a new owner so wish (the only exception being the initial wheels and tyres). Worthy of close inspection, this pampered 911 Turbo II 3.3 litre is offered for sale with extensive history file, book pack, original tool wrap, tyre compressor, correct Porsche tyre pressure gauge and first aid kit.
Lot 4022
- Three keepers from new and showing 17,171 unwarranted miles - Rare and desirable `Big Valve' 130 engine and 5-speed gearbox - In need of TLC but basically complete and running Further Info: `RRO 780M' is an apparently `time warp' example of the timeless-looking Ron Hickman-designed Elan +2, that's finished in the eye-catching combination of Regency Red bodywork and Oatmeal-coloured interior trim. It has had just three keepers from new, the second of which evidently cherished the Lotus for over 30 years. First registered in August 1973, the sale car is among the last of the breed - the sought-after +2S 130/5 model that benefits from the 130bhp `Big Valve' version of Cosworth's ubiquitous 1558cc twin-cam power unit, coupled to a five- rather than four-speed manual gearbox. Currently seeking a degree of TLC, the Elan is described by the vendor as having an `original but apparently good chassis', `fair to good' bodywork and interior trim, `very poor' paintwork and a correct-type but replacement engine that `runs with good oil pressure'. The odometer currently stands at an unwarranted 17,171 miles. A rare and exciting opportunity for Lotus enthusiasts everywhere.
