- 1 of just 52 or so Nine Gamecocks known to have survived - Treated to over £8,800 worth of fettling during the past 12 months - Proven VSCC Trials competitor Further Info: Introduced in 1932, the Riley 9 Gamecock featured the marque's latest Plus Ultra underslung chassis and jewel-like 1089cc four-cylinder engine. Fed by twin SU carburettors, the latter was allied to four-speed manual transmission and promised a 70mph plus top speed. Sporting a lightweight aluminium body, large diameter drum brakes, all-round semi-elliptic leaf-springs and Duplex Andre adjustable shock absorbers, the model retains good road manners to this day. Undeniably handsome, the Gamecock was summed-up by Motor Sport as `a neat and handy vehicle which combined a lively performance with freedom from constant tuning'. No stranger to competition, a three-strong Works team won a prestigious Coupe des Alpes (up to 1100cc class) on the 1932 International Alpine Rally. Only in production for two years, just fifty-two or so 9 Gamecocks are known to have survived. Treated to a new ash frame, replacement crown wheel and pinion and overhauled engine (including carburettors) when restored by its previous keeper for VSCC Trials use, chassis 6016790 has enjoyed further development since entering the current ownership last year. As well as a hotter engine (though, the original powerplant accompanies it), work saw the Riley benefit from a wiring check, ride height increase, raised fuel tank, brake system refurbishment and replacement / relocated rear lights plus the fitment of a battery isolator switch, fire extinguisher and side exhaust. Successfully completing four of the VSCC's challenging Winter Trials thereafter, chassis 6016790 is only coming back onto the market due to health reasons. Classified by the VSCC as Standard (as opposed to Modified or Special) and listed in `Sporting Rileys' by D.G. Styles, this appealing Gamecock is offered for sale with a tonneau cover, indoor dust sheet, current MOT certificate, its original London registration number `YY 747', sundry spare parts and invoices documenting the last 12 months' expenditure which total over £8,800.

- Owned since 2004 and just 4 former keepers - New hood and liner fitted in 2014 - c.64,600 miles with MoT to March 2016 Further info: Launched in September 1975, the XJ-S was designed by Malcolm Sayer with input from Sir William Lyons. Effectively a replacement for the legendary E-Type, it was nevertheless a luxurious, high-speed Grand Tourer rather than a race-bred Sports Car, and powered by a fuel-injected version of Jaguar's silky 5.3-litre V12 unit mated to either manual or automatic transmission. First registered on 5th May 1989, this 5.3-litre convertible has been in the current ownership since 2004 and registers just four former keepers on the accompanying Swansea V5 document. Finished in black with Magnolia leather, it is described as being in "good" condition regarding its bodywork, engine, paintwork, automatic transmission and interior, whilst there is some lifting of the veneer on the interior woodwork. In 2012 the car was fitted with new rear brake discs and pads with a new hood and liner together with a battery being fitted in 2014. Registering some 64,600 miles on its odometer, it is offered with a Swansea V5 and a current MoT expiring 3rd March 2016.
- 1 of 77 made with a mere 12 known to have survived - Well-known in Singer circles and treated to an extensive restoration - A former multiple concours winner with current ownership for c.34 years Further info: During the early to mid 1930s the rivalry between Singer and MG was notably intense with both marques distinguishing themselves at Le Mans and on countless trials held over the length and breadth of Britain. Aimed at the expanding six-cylinder sportscar market, the Singer 1.5 Litre Sports Tourer was introduced in 1933. Discernibly larger than its MG K1 equivalent, the newcomer was styled in-house by Eric Neale. With its prominent radiator grille, cut-away doors, full-flowing wings and sloping tail, the Singer bore quite some resemblance to Lagonda's contemporaneous M45. Based on a lowered version of its Fourteen sibling's ladder-frame chassis featuring all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel Lockheed hydraulic 13-inch drum brakes, the 1.5 Litre Sports was powered by a 1493cc OHC six-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. A spritely yet well-mannered car, it rode on 18-inch Rudge knock-off wire wheels and was capable of cruising at 60-70mph. Priced at £295 but only available during 1933 and 1934, just 77 1.5 Litre Sports Four-Seater Tourers were made of which a mere 12 are known to have survived. First registered in Glasgow on 23rd March 1934, chassis R2014 was purchased by the vendor, Geoff Gibson, from Paradise Garage some forty-five years later. Well-known in Singer circles, Mr Gibson subsequently treated the 1.5 Litre Sports to an extensive restoration. A former multiple concours award winner at shows around the country, `US 5285' has since developed a beautiful patina. Pleasingly understood to be a `matching numbers' car, the four-seater is described by the vendor as being in "very good overall" condition with regard to its engine, gearbox ,electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. Offered for sale for the first time in thirty-four years, this rare Singer is worthy of close inspection.
- 1 of 541 '87 2CV6 Specials known to the DVLA - Extensively restored circa five years ago - Check cloth upholstery and MOT'd until February 2016 Further Info: Citroen's ever-charming Deux Chevaux was intended to motorise the large number of French farmers still relying on horses and carts, and a famous part of the design brief was to be able to traverse eggs across a ploughed field without breaking them. No less than 3.8 million examples were produced via 11 factories across the world (including one in Slough, England) between 1948 and 1990, by when the ageing design had been defeated by contemporary legislation. The Red right-hand drive example on offer was manufactured in 1987 and has come from a deceased estate. It is understood to have been extensively restored five years ago and is currently described by the vendor as having `very good' bodywork, paintwork and check cloth interior trim, and `good' twin-cylinder air-cooled engine and four-speed manual gearbox. Its odometer displays an unwarranted 80,840 miles and the Citroen comes complete with MOT valid until February 24th 2016.
- 3 previous keepers and 106,557 recorded miles - Offered with large history file containing old invoices and MOTs - Described as mechanically 'very good' with unleaded head Further info: 'PJL 834R' is a righthand drive MKIV Midget that was first registered in April 1977, and its Black bodywork is teamed with Tan-coloured velour interior trim. The vendor informs us that the car has benefited from a degree of restoration to the body and that the engine has been equipped with an unleaded cylinder head. The MG has had four keepers to date and currently displays an unwarranted 106,557 miles. The vendor describes the Midget as being 'very good mechanically' and is now selling it complete with a substantial history file packed with invoices and old MOTs. The MKIV was the final iteration of the mighty Midget, and delivered deformable federal bumpers allied to an increased ride height and a new engine and gearbox - the 1,493cc and four-speed manual units from the Triumph Spitfire. With 66bhp on tap, the venerable little two-seater was now capable of a genuine 100mph flat out.
- 65,585 recorded miles and offered with history file - Fitted with Webasto roof and wooden dashboard - Expected to possess a fresh MOT by the time of sale Further info: The home market MKII GT on offer sports Red bodywork teamed with a contrasting Black interior. Desirable extras include a Webasto sunroof and a wood-effect facia. The vendor describes the MG as 'mechanically very good' and is now offering it complete with history file. The odometer currently registers an unwarranted 65,585 miles. Introduced in May 1962, the monocoque MGB was a welcome progression from the body-on-frame T-Series and MGA models that preceded it. The more modern construction resulted in weight savings, reduced manufacturing costs and notably tauter handling. It was initially only available in Roadster form - the Pininfarina-penned hatchback GT derivative with 2+2 seating not being offered until October 1965. The MKII model of 1967 brought an updated manual gearbox with revised ratios and synchromesh on all gears, a revised rear axle, and a switch from dynamo to alternator. In 1969, Rostyle wheels replaced the previous pressed steel version for standard fit.
- Original right-hand drive car displaying 89,558 miles - Restored in the 1990s, owned since 2004 - Recently the bodywork and outside finish have been brought up to high standard Further info: Jaguar increased the E-Type's engine capacity to 4.2-litres in October 1964 and, with the change, came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and electrical systems, and more comfortable seats. The suspension was independent all round with wishbones and torsion bars at the front and wishbones, radius arms and twin coil springs at the rear. Braking was by servo-assisted Dunlop discs all round; inboard at the rear. The steering was a rack and pinion system by Alford and Alder. Though the 4.2-litre engine had more torque than its predecessor, an increase in both gearing and bodyweight meant the performance of these later S1 cars was very similar to the 3.8-litre versions. Production figures vary slightly depending on the source, but approximately 7,770 4.2-litre Fixed Head Coupes were built between 1964 and 1968, only some 1,957 of which were right-hand drive. According to its accompanying Heritage certificate this original RHD car was despatched on March 12 1965 and supplied to Victor ltd, Belfast, Northern Ireland. At the time it was finished in opalescent dark green with suede green interior trim. In the 1990s, when the car was restored, this was changed to Carmine Red with black trim. The vendor acquired FNN 641C in 2004 and advises that bills and receipts total some £21,000. Very recently the bodywork and outside finish of the car have been brought up to high standard. The vender now classifies the bodywork and paintwork to be "excellent" and the interior trim, power plant and four speed manual gearbox as all being "good". Registering some 89,558 miles, we understand c.11,500 miles have been covered since 2004. A fine example, it is offered with Swansea V5, MoT to August 2015 and history file containing original brochures, spare parts catalogue, service handbook and tool kit.
PLEASE NOTE: Whilst many of the more difficult jobs were entrusted to the factory and other specialists, this vehicle was supplied in kit form to its owner and not as a factory turn key example. - Evocation by Parallel designs - well known for their quality and authenticity - 5-litre BMW V12 driving through a 6-speed Audi gearbox - Finished in Pearl White Metallic with Black Alacantra interior, c.265 miles Further info: Renowned for their quality and accuracy, Parallel Designs have produced some of the most faithful Lamborghini copies including the legendary Miura, Countach and Diablo which can be purchased in component, part-built or turnkey form. The Diablo GT chassis consists of a semi-spaceframe design with integral central backbone providing excellent strength and rigidity, whilst body moulds taken from an original example give the car exacting looks and accurate dimensions. Great attention to detail and high build standards have resulted in an enviable reputation and some fantastic cars. This one-owner right-hand drive example was factory built in 2013 at huge cost and first registered on 1 January 2014. Displaying just c.265 miles on its odometer, it is finished in Pearl White metallic with Black Alacantara interior. Powered by a 5.0-litre BMW V12 engine driving through a manual Audi 6-speed transmission, the car's performance and accompanying soundtrack are spectacular. Grey SV replica alloys complete the looks of this stunning machine. Offered with a Swansea V5 document and registered with a normal-style registration number, this wonderful evocation is ready to provide all the looks and excitement of the original at a fraction of the cost.
- Entered from a private collection and 1 of 20 known RHD survivors - 102,000 recorded miles, 4-speed manual, black upholstery - Dry stored but started and moved on a regular basis Further Info: BMW's so-called `New Class' Coupe was debuted in the summer of 1965. It marked the end of the company's V8-powered range and served to introduce the new 2-litre, four-cylinder version of its OHC M10 engine which, as fitted to the CS model, was equipped with twin carburettors and produced a sprightly 120bhp. Unlike the slightly milder-tuned 2000 C, the CS was only available with four-speed manual transmission. Whereas the outgoing 3200 CS featured styling by Bertone, the newcomer was the work of the Karmann concern, whose changes largely concentrated on the front end. The 2000 CS is now a very rare model and this example is thought to be one of only 20 original right-hand drive cars remaining. Part of a private collection for the last 10 years, and started regularly but never really used, it is felt by the vendor to have `very good' bodywork, Blue paintwork, Black interior trim, engine and gearbox.
- Entered from a private collection and 1 of just 260 made - 110,000 recorded miles, 4-speed manual, beige upholstery - Dry stored but started and moved on a regular basis Further Info: BMW's very successful 2002 model first saw the light of day in 1968 as a three-box two-door Saloon. The range was extended in 1971 to include a hatchback variant called the Touring and a Cabriolet version, production of which was entrusted to the Stuttgart based coachbuilder Karosserie Baur. Just 354 examples are understood to have been produced in right-hand drive form, the first 260 of which are recognisable for their round (as opposed to rectangular) rear tail lights, and the sale car is one of these now rare models. It features Turquoise bodywork matched to Beige interior trim and has for some time been dry stored as part of a private collection; only being started and moved by a mechanic in order to maintain its condition. The odometer currently registers an unwarranted but credible 110,657 miles. The vendor classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder engine and four-speed manual transmission as all being in `very good' order.
PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has been upgraded with a more powerful 1780cc Series 116 engine (number 01678*055315). - Reputedly supplied new to South Africa and UK registered since 2003 - Self-evidently treated to past restoration work - Rare, RHD `round tail' Duetto and recently fettled Further Info: The Spider first broke cover at the 1961 Turin Salon, though production did not commence until 1966. The pretty two-seat Roadster, then known as the `Duetto', is said to have been the last project with which `Pinin' Farina was personally associated, and it was his company that produced the monocoque body at its plant in Grugliasco. Just one year later the model was immortalised by the Dustin Hoffman film `The Graduate'. The chassis was based on that of the Giulia 105 and the Series One examples were powered by a 1570cc version of Alfa's sonorous four-cylinder twin-cam unit. In 1967, the Duetto was replaced by the 1750 (1779cc) Spider Veloce. This beautifully-presented right-hand drive Duetto is an example from the second year of the model's production, as confirmed by a letter on file from the Alfa Romeo Owners' Club. It is offered in the classic combination of Red bodywork complemented by Black interior trim. The decorative chrome Alfa Romeo hub caps positively gleam, as does the alloy cover of its free-revving DOHC four-cylinder engine, while the flanks of its iconic two-seater body each carry a small Farina badge as a subtle reminder of the Alfa's origins. This Duetto has been in its current ownership since November 2013 and, according to its V5C, was first registered in the UK during July 2003, prior to which we understand it was domiciled in South Africa. The little Alfa is now in need of a new home and is being sold complete with tailored floor mats, plus a history file containing: a paper copy of the driver's handbook; a workshop manual; various club magazines; and sundry invoices relating to the vendor's recent expenditure. These early Spiders have a purity of form that was steadily diluted as the model evolved. `TGU 343E' therefore represents an increasingly rare opportunity.
- A notably late Lotus Cortina MKI built in August 1966 - Converted into a Stage / Road Rally Car during 1999-2000 - New OMP seats, TRS harnesses and fresh MOT certificate Further Info: First road registered by London County Council on 15th September 1966, `KUC 964D' began life as a standard road going Lotus Cortina MKI (albeit a notably late example of the 3,306 made). Assorted photos and invoices on file show that it was reconfigured as a stage / road rally car some fifteen years ago. Though, whether or not its transformation involved a re-shell is unknown. The current monocoque appears authentic and as well as being gusseted and strengthened boasts such correct-type features as a small hump boot floor and original tramp bar mountings (rather than modified Escort ones). Opening the boot reveals an alloy fuel tank, offside-mounted battery, twin pumps, well secured spare wheel / jack / brace and stickers for the 2000 Premier Rally, 2000 Astra Stages, 2000 Robin Hood Forest Stages Rally, 2001 Cossack Rally, 2001 East Anglian Classic, 2001 John Overend Memorial Stages Rally, 2003 Bruce Robinson Rally, 2003 29th Targa Rusticana and 2007 Robin Hood Historic Forest Stages Rally. Dormant for several years, recent recommissioning has seen `KUC 964D' treated to new FIA-compliant OMP T-RS XL front bucket seats, TRS harnesses and Minilite-style alloy wheels. Starting readily upon inspection, its 1.6 litre engine sports twin Weber carburettors and green-painted cam covers (as fitted to Special Equipment models). As well as its iconic Alan Mann livery, the Ford plays host to a 170mph speedometer, Brantz International 2 Pro Rally Meter, passenger footbrace-mounted horn button, substantial rollcage, oversize wash / wipe switches and retro Gold Leaf Team Lotus / East African Safari stickers. Described by the vendor as being in `very good overall' condition with regard to its engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork, this nicely presented Fast Ford is offered for sale with Stage Logbook, MSA Historic Rally Identify Form, expired FIA Historic Vehicle Identity Form and current MOT certificate valid until March 2016.
- 21,700 recorded miles & MOT'd into February 2016 - Recent bare metal repaint in its original Green livery - Recent service, compression test & carburettor overhaul Further Info: Introduced as the 2000 in 1963, the P6 was the sixth and last of the P-Series Rovers, of which the 3500 S was the ultimate incarnation. Designed in-house, the P6 bristled with innovation and was the winner of the first ever European Car of the Year Award. The handsome manual gearbox 3500 S offered has recently been treated to a bare metal respray in its original Green livery, new Everflex vinyl roof and rain gutters, and alternator. The engine has been thoroughly serviced and compression tested, and the SU carburettors overhauled. The previous keeper had the car fully re-trimmed in Cream hide and fitted with new carpets. The vendor now classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and four-speed gearbox as all being in `excellent' order, and is selling the car with 13 old MOTs that lend credibility to the extraordinarily low indicated mileage of 21,644; plus one valid into February 2016.
- Finished in British Racing Green with Magnolia-coloured leather upholstery - Powered by a Rover V8 engine allied to five-speed manual transmission - Offered with build file, four-branch side-mounted exhaust and wire wheels Further info: Some 2,000 NG cars have reputedly been sold since 1979. Hand built in the traditional vein around a bespoke ladder chassis they employ MG running gear and are generally powered by either MGB engines or the venerable all-alloy Rover V8; which is in fact quite a bit lighter than the cast iron MG unit, as well as being more powerful of course. There was the option of having them factory built or acquiring them in kit form. The example on offer is a TC model powered by the Rover unit. The body is of boat tail design and finished in classic British Racing Green and trimmed in Magnolia-coloured leather. 'Q586 KKE' comes complete with build file, four-branch side-mounted exhaust and knock-on wire wheels, and the vendor currently classifies the bodywork, paintwork, V8 engine, five-speed manual gearbox and the car's electrical equipment as all being in 'good' condition. The odometer displays an unwarranted 18,200 miles.
- 1 of c.309 made and history back to the early 1960s - Most original interior with Brown leather upholstery - Much recent restoration work documented on DVD Further Info: Like so many of its contemporaries, the Wolverhampton-based Sunbeam enterprise was a bicycle maker that evolved into a car manufacturer, and the Sunbeam Motor Company Ltd was created in 1905 to separate the two-wheel side of the business from the expanding four-wheel one. However, it was from 1909, under the guidance of the fertile-minded Breton-born Louis Coatalen, that the marque truly began to flourish - the road cars became noted for their quality and refinement and the record breakers and racers notched up a string of international successes. Sadly, Sunbeam failed to survive the depression and went into receivership in 1935. The Twenty-Five model was manufactured from 1933 to 1935 and available in Saloon, Limousine and Coupe body styles. It was powered by a straight-six OHV engine of 3317cc, which was fed by a single Zenith carburettor. Well-equipped, the Twenty-Five featured an all-synchromesh four-speed gearbox, hydraulic brakes and semi-elliptic suspension all round. Total production is understood to have been approximately 309. `AXM 597' is a fine-looking example of the breed that hails from 1934, when it would have cost c.£875. The Saloon is smartly finished in Maroon over Black and trimmed in Brown leather. The vendor classes the engine as `excellent'; the transmission, aluminium and steel bodywork and paintwork as `good'; and the interior trim as `good and mostly original aside of new carpets'. The Sunbeam is now being sold complete with MOT to March 2016 and an extensive history file dating back to the early 1960s that contains: invoices for recent restoration work; detailed description of a comprehensive engine overhaul that included remetalling of the bearings, new liners etc; ownership records; period photos and a DVD of the restoration; copy of the Works delivery/despatch sheet to Pass & Joyce; original owner's handbook; and reproduction workshop manual. The odometer registers an unwarranted 77,363 miles.
- 1 of just 130 UK-supplied examples - Recent new clutch and cambelts - Original toolkit and 44,000 recorded miles Further Info: `J244 WOB' is a rare right-hand drive example of Ferrari's increasingly sought-after 348 TB model (just 130 of which were UK-supplied) and is very tidily presented in the classic combination of Rosso Corsa teamed with a Tan hide interior. The history file contains evidence of recent replacements to both the cambelts and clutch, plus details of the previous keepers and sundry old MOTs; as well one valid well into 2016. The Prancing Horse is now being sold complete with its original tool kit and is considered by the vendor to have `good' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and five-speed manual gearbox. Its odometer currently registers an unwarranted but credible 44,049 miles. Ferrari considered mid-engined technology when replacing the 275 GTB - Lamborghini had already declared their hand with the prototype Miura - but were concerned how customers might cope with the related handling of so large and powerful a car. The ensuing Dino therefore represented their first foray into the mid-engined road car market, a line then successfully followed with the 308, 328 and 348. First seen at the 1989 Frankfurt Motorshow, the Pininfarina-penned 348TB (Berlinetta) and 348TS (Spider) were the first series-production Ferraris to feature a steel monocoque chassis as opposed to a tubular frame, and a robotized production line was installed at the Scaglietti works in Modena to produce the new shells. The newcomer shared a number of components with the Mondial, not least: the longitudinally placed 3405cc quad-cam 32-valve V8 engine and transverse (hence the T in the name) five-speed manual gearbox. Cradled in its own subframe, the V8 developed 300bhp and 238 lb ft of torque - sufficient to propel the 348 to 60mph in 5.4 seconds and to a top speed of 170mph. A total of 8,844 348s are understood to have been produced before the model was superseded by the 355 in 1994.
- Reputedly first registered by Lancashire County Council - Resident in Cook County, Illinois for thirty-eight years - Much recommissioning work by its German vendor According to the MG Car Club's online search facility (www.tregister.org), chassis TC1370 was built on 11th September 1946. Still wearing `GTE 467' number plates front and rear which suggest that it was first road registered by Lancashire County Council, the two-seater was later exported to the USA. Owned by Fred Robert Wilkin Jr of Cook County Illinois from June 1969 to October 2007, the MG is understood to have been his mount for numerous competition events. Entering the current German ownership in 2008, an invoice from Moss Europe dated the following January indicates that chassis TC1370 has since been treated to a new: fuel tank; brake master cylinder; hub and oil seal; 2 x brake lining sets; crankshaft oil seal; 2 x gearbox mountings; engine mount; 4 x damper link bushes and sump gasket etc. Finished in Dark Green with Beige upholstery, the MG is described by the vendor as being in `good' condition with regard to its engine, electrical equipment and four-speed manual gearbox, while he rates the bodywork as `good / original', the paintwork as `patinated but presentable' and the interior trim as `original style'.
- Barker bodied and the only 20/25 of its type in existence - Commissioned in 1933 by the Greek government - Engine overhauled by Brunt's of Silverdale (Staffordshire) Further info: "The driver who has never handled a Rolls-Royce is likely to want to know wherein it differs from the general run of motor cars. That is a point it is impossible to deal with adequately in few words, but the principal impressions concern the extreme delicacy of control, the amazing flexibility on top gear, the silence and quality of the acceleration, and the fact that the engine is as quiet and smooth when the car is travelling at the maximum as it is at lower speeds." (Rolls-Royce 20/25hp Road Test by The Autocar, May 29th 1931). Introduced in 1929 as a stablemate to the larger Phantom II, the 20/25 was a natural development of its established 20hp model - Rolls-Royce's first 'owner driver' offering. Though very similar to its predecessor, the newcomer enjoyed a greater turn of acceleration and top speed, thanks to an increase in engine capacity from 3127 to 3669cc, which also brought the bonus of a reduction in fuel consumption. The OHV straight-six engine drove via a dry plate clutch to a four-speed manual gearbox equipped with traditional right-hand change (and from 1932 onwards, synchromesh on the top two ratios). The substantial ladder frame chassis was fitted with semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension all-round and servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes. The 20/25hp remained in production until 1936, by which time some 3,827 examples had been sold, making it Rolls-Royce's best-selling model of the period. Chassis GHA 9 was commissioned in 1933 by the Greek government. The country had been without a monarch since the late 1920s, but with moves afoot to restore King George II (the first cousin of HRH, The Duke of Edinburgh) to the throne, it was felt a suitable motorcar should be set in train. Barker was the chosen coachbuilder and the elected body style that of Open-drive Laundaulette - which in the Barker parlance of the time translated to Sedancalette de Ville. The chassis cost of £849 9s 9d was duly paid and the frame delivered to Barker & Co on November 21, 1933. It appears from the paperwork supplied with the vehicle that it was delivered to the Greek Embassy in Brussels via Ostend on February 15, 1934 - a voyage the factory chassis log informs us was organised through the AA. From the other items of accompanying paperwork we learn that the Panorama Bay Motor Company of Poole in Dorset sold 'AXH 158' (the car's original and current registration number) in 1990. Four years later it was apparently treated to a degree of restoration, not least a £1,947 engine overhaul courtesy of Brunt's of Silverdale in Staffordshire. The vendor acquired the Rolls-Royce in 2003, at which point the odometer was reading an unwarranted 35,860 miles (it now stands at 41, 985 miles). The following year he treated the 20/25 to new swivel pins and stainless steel exhaust system and currently describes the car's mechanical condition as 'very good', however some attention may be needed to the front nearside shock absorber. Apparently very original (and complete down to its 'Goshawk' scuttle plate), 'AXH 158' has been confirmed by the Rolls-Royce Enthusiast's Club as the only 20/25 of its type in existence. Its appearance on the market therefore provides an exciting opportunity for Rolls-Royce aficionados everywhere to tender for a unique and desirable motorcar of fascinating history.
- 1 of just c.45 known survivors and extensively restored 1999-2004 - Current family ownership since 1980 and original engine / body - Rare and desirable Vintage Tourer with 3.2-litre straight-six engine Further Info: The 1920s witnessed Sunbeam win the French and Spanish Grand Prixs, finish second at Le Mans, set numerous Land Speed Records and cause Henry Royce consternation regarding the quality and refinement of its products. Introduced at the 1923 Olympia Motor Show, the 20/60 was based around a substantial ladder frame chassis equipped with leaf-sprung suspension (semi-elliptic front / cantilever rear) and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 3181cc seven-bearing OHV straight-six allied to four-speed manual transmission, the newcomer was reputedly capable of over 70mph (coachwork permitting). Available in Tourer, Sports Model, Enclosed Limousine and Enclosed Landaulette guises, some 1,560 20/60s were made before production ceased during 1926. Though, today only 45 or so are known to have survived. First registered by Liverpool County Council on 24th June 1925, an accompanying continuation buff logbook shows that `KC 9684' belonged to D. Forbes Keir Esq. post WW2 and relocated with him from Wallasey to London during August 1951. Acquired by Thomas Edward Brown Esq. of Byfleet, Surrey - and later The Sunbeams, Tolleshunt Knights, Essex - some eleven years later, the 20/60 has been in the current family ownership since August 1980. An MOT certificate issued that same year gave the Tourer's recorded mileage as 41,827, while its odometer currently shows 43,700 miles. Part of a large private collection for the past thirty-five years, `KC 9684' was treated to an extensive refurbishment from 1999-2004. I.S. Polson carried out some early mechanical work but Arthur Archer of Dunmow completed the majority. Stripped to a bare chassis, the Sunbeam had attention paid to its engine (new bearings, pistons, timing chains, crack testing etc), gearbox, back axle (new half shafts), steering box, magneto, dynamo, starter, Autovac, water pump, Claudel Hobson carburettor, suspension, wiring, brakes, hubs and wire wheels. As well as its original straight-six powerplant (number 1286E), the 20/60 pleasingly retains its original Tourer body which was rejuvenated by a Rolls-Royce apprenticed craftsman whose CV includes projects for P&A Wood, Clark & Carter and J.D. Classics. Connolly leather supplied new Maroon leather hides that were fashioned into deep-button upholstery by Barton & Son of Luton, while Robert Smith Coach Trimming of Hemel Hempstead remade the double duck hood and sidescreens. Assorted invoices and handwritten notes on file suggest that the restoration cost in excess of £58,000 which may seem a modest sum given the extent and quality of the work but then again some of the labour was charged at £10 per hour! Having covered circa 1,800 post-refurbishment miles, more recent fettling has seen `KC 9684' treated to a relined clutch (2006) and overhauled radiator (2009). Starting readily and running well upon inspection - the vendor appearing to engage all four gears without difficulty - the Sunbeam now exhibits a gentle patina. Sporting an `Old Bill' radiator mascot, well-stocked wooden dashboard, rear-mounted luggage trunk, secondary Auster screen, Rotax head- / sidelights, `diver's helmet' rear lights and twin side-mounted spare wheels etc, the 20/60 is beautifully detailed. A decidedly handsome and imposing Vintage Tourer, this `Supreme Sunbeam' is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with fresh MOT certificate and history file containing a period instruction handbook, sundry restoration photos, numerous old MOTs (dating back to 1968) and myriad restoration bills / invoices.
- Prepared as a Category 1 historic rally car with rear roll cage - Works style hardtop, new springs and minilite-type alloy wheels - A rewarding project in need of finishing Further info : 'LFD 319E' is a righthand drive MKIII Midget that's been set up for Category 1 (ie pre-1968) historic rallying. It sports a rear roll cage that nestles underneath a Works style hardtop. New spinners retain equally fresh period-style wheels. The vendor can't vouch for the pedigree of the car's 1275cc A Series engine or four-speed manual gearbox, but currently classes its bodywork and Red paintwork as 'good' and the Black interior trim as 'OK'. The 1961 MG Midget was essentially a MKII Austin Healey Sprite in a different suit of clothes. It started life powered by a 948cc BMC 'A' Series engine. Braking was by drums all-round. Matters greatly improved with the MKIII version of 1966, not least in the engine compartment where the motor's capacity had been increased via 1098cc to 1275cc. Semi-elliptic rear springs had replaced the original quarter elliptic ones, and the front drum brakes had given way to discs.
- Subject to an extensive body & interior restoration C.2007 - Offered with a collection of spares including 4 steel wheels with tyres - History file includes photographs of the restoration & original instruction manual Further Info: Spencer Wilks was appointed General Manager of Rover in 1929, where he was joined by his engineer brother Maurice the following year. An early product of the dynasty was the P1, which debuted as the Rover 10 at the 1933 London Motor Show. It was offered in six-light Saloon or four-light Sportsman guise and with the option of a 1496cc engine (Rover 12) or 1577cc unit (Rover 14). The latter was an OHV straight-six, whose maximum output of 54bhp endowed the model with a top speed of c.69mph. The delightful Rover 14 Sportsman now offered is a 1936 example that's finished in the attractive combination of two-tone Blue bodywork and Blue interior trim. We understand 'CNA 849' was treated to an extensive restoration around 2007, ie three years prior to its acquisition by the vendor. He is now offering it complete with original instruction manual, photos of the restoration and a selection of spare parts.
PLEASE NOTE: The engine number of this lot is 755443 which according to the Porsche 356 and 912 Serial Numbers Reference Site (www.356a.com) is correct for a 1968-model year Karmann-bodied Porsche 912 Coupe. - LHD and imported from Florida by its previous keeper - Tan interior, Fuchs wheels, 5-speed manual, 1.6 litre engine - 1 of 5,598 Karmann-bodied Coupes made for the 1968 MY Further info: The 912 was Porsche's entry model for the 911 range and initially substantially outsold its six-cylinder sibling. Production ran from 1965 to 1969, during which in excess of 32,000 were manufactured. The vast majority were Coupes, 5,598 of which were bodied by Karmann for Porsche during the 1968 model year. Enthusiastic 912 customers included the German autobahn police. This tidy-looking left-hand drive 912 Coupe features Red bodywork that's teamed with a Tan-coloured interior. The Porsche was garaged at its sole UK registered keeper's Florida holiday home before journeying back across the Atlantic last year. It is currently displaying an unwarranted 63,000 miles and is regarded by the vendor as having `good' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox. It represents a rare opportunity to acquire an apparently unmolested classic Porsche that's spent much of its life in a rust-free environment.
- In the current ownership since 1996 - Right-hand drive example displaying c.45,000 miles - Current MoT, belts expected to be replaced in time for sale Further info: Introduced at the 1975 Earls Court Motor Fair, the Pininfarina-bodied 308 GTS (Gran Turismo Spider) featured a removable 'targa' roof panel that stowed neatly behind the seats. Utilising a subtly strengthened version of the GTB's tubular spaceframe chassis, the newcomer employed the same all-round independent double-wishbone suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack and pinion steering. Powered by Maranello's magnificent 'quad-cam' 2926cc V8 engine mated to five-speed manual transmission, the 308 GTS was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.7 seconds and 150mph. This right-hand drive example carburettor model has been in the current ownership some twenty years during which time it has spent a period in storage in the South of France. Recent recommissioning work includes a repaint in blue whilst the belts are expected to have been replaced by the time of sale. Fitted with Compomotive alloys, the car registers some 45,000 miles and is offered with a Swansea V5, partial history. It is expected to possess a new MoT in time for the sale. Described as having "good", bodywork, paintwork and engine, the cream leather has been connolised.
- `Matching' chassis and engine numbers - Recently treated to an extensive, photographically-documented restoration - Offered with history file, heritage certificate and rear tonneau cover Further info: This matching numbers, home market Pickup was supplied new to BMC dealer Lookers of Manchester in February 1963. It was finished in Tweed Grey, trimmed in Tan vinyl and ordered complete with optional heater. Now 52 years old, it has recently been treated to a full restoration at the hands of established Mini refurbisher Colin Chapman. The work is in line with the accompanying Heritage Certificate, with the exception of the seats, which are contemporary Black Heritage items. The vendor unsurprisingly now classes the bodywork, paintwork, 848cc A Series engine and four-speed manual gearbox as 'excellent' and the interior trim as 'fair/good'. He is now offering this all-but-immaculate Mini complete with tonneau cover, history file, Heritage Certificate and photographic record of the work carried out. The original Lancashire registration number, '1507 TF', is available by separate negotiation. Equally suitable as personal transport with a difference, or for promoting a business.
- 1 of just 3,095 LHD Jaguar XK150 Fixed Head Coupes made - Desirable Special Equipment model and only one UK registered keeper - `Matching' chassis, engine and body numbers and fresh MOT certificate Further Info: 1 of just 3,095 LHD XK150 Fixed Head Coupes to leave Browns Lane, chassis S835947DN was completed on 23rd December 1958. A desirable `Special Equipment' model, its 3442cc DOHC straight-six engine was topped with an uprated B-type cylinder head and allied to four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission. Finished in Cream with Red upholstery and supplied new via Jaguar Cars New York, the XK150 is understood to have (a) spent quite some time in California and (b) belonged to the prestigious Blackhawk Collection before being repatriated by CAR Howard during Spring 1989. Acquired by its sole UK registered keeper shortly thereafter, `GSK 933' has reportedly spent the last twenty-six years avoiding wet or salt covered roads. Treated to new `J' spot headlights and replacement bumpers upon its return from the USA, more recent work is said to have seen the Fixed Head Coupe benefit from attention to its water pump, thermostat, cooling system, temperature/oil gauge, braking system, fuel pump and twin SU carburettors plus the fitment of a new stainless steel exhaust. Pleasingly able to boast `matching' chassis, engine and body numbers, `GSK 933' is described by the vendor as being in `good' condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, bodywork, electrical equipment and interior trim (while, he rates the paintwork as `fair'). Due to be freshly MOT tested ahead of sale, this much-loved XK150 is temptingly priced and offered for sale with history file including Jaguar Cars Ltd Heritage Certificate, copy service manual and 1991 valuation for £55,000.
