1955 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn                              - The Silver Dawn remains among Rolls-Royce's rarest post-WW2 models (just 761 were made)- This example boasts matching chassis and engine numbers plus continuous history- An elegant and very nicely presented 'big bore', automatic gearbox, big boot car Unveiled in 1949, the Silver Dawn had the distinction of being the first Rolls-Royce to wear standard steel coachwork. Visually and mechanically indebted to its Bentley MKVI stablemate, the newcomer was initially powered by a 4257cc straight-six engine (though, capacity was increased to 4566cc during 1951) allied to either manual or automatic transmission - both four-speed. Suspension was independent at the front and by live axle on semi-elliptic leaves at the rear. Braking was by servo-assisted drums all-round. A total of just 761 Silver Dawns had been manufactured by the time the model was supplanted by the Silver Cloud.A matching chassis and engine numbers car with continuous history, this particular example was supplied new by Rippon Bros Ltd to the Thomas Lumb Co Ltd of Skipton, Yorkshire. A mill owner, Mr Lumb kept the Silver Dawn until its purchase by Mr Walter Greaves from the Viceroy Carriage Co. in 1966. Exported to America by its third keeper - Mr Richard Werby - the following decade, the Rolls-Royce had covered some 106,000 miles by the time it next changed hands in 2001. Like his predecessors, Dr Stephen Davidson was determined to maintain the luxury saloon in fine fettle spending some $41,576.39 on it over the following ten years (invoices for the corresponding maintenance / refurbishment work remain on file). Repatriated in 2011 at an indicated 118,000 miles, the Silver Dawn was subsequently allocated the age-related registration number '487 YUH'. Forming part of a private museum collection in more recent times, this elegant and very nicely presented Rolls-Royce boasts the 'big bore' 4566cc engine and four-speed automatic gearbox. Offered for sale with copy build sheets, assorted newspaper articles relating to Mr Lumb, a Rolls-Royce handbook (1953), automatic gearbox instruction card and warrantee, Smiths radiomobile instruction book, numerous of invoices for thousands of pounds/dollars and the original RF60.

2012 Ferrari California                                            PLEASE NOTE: The cherished registration number visible in the photos - 'OOO5' - does not form part of the sale. However, it is available to purchase by separate negotiation.PLEASE NOTE: This lot possesses a MOT certificate valid until 24th November 2017.PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue was published the California has been connected to a Ferrari diagnostic machine which traced the 'engine control system failure' fault code to a duff spark plug. The spark plug has now been replaced and the fault code cleared.  - One owner from new and 500 recorded miles- Supplied by HR Owen at a cost of £166,000'Despite its name and obvious main market, this is an old fashioned GT car in the best Ferrari tradition. While it is undoubtedly modern, the California harks back to a time when Ferrari had stopped making racing cars for the road or road cars you could race and just made really beautiful road cars. These models are prized by Americans who value their posing potential, and admired by the British who don't like to be seen to be trying too hard and like to justify their high performance machines with a modicum of practicality. Sometimes, it's nice to go out without your underpants outside your trousers. The California doesn't shout "Look at me!" It just oozes good taste' (Andrew English, The Telegraph, 16th October 2008).Introduced at the Paris Salon in 2008, the Ferrari California had been conceived as a grand tourer rather than an out-and-out sports car. Intended to appeal to those who might otherwise opt for a Bentley, Aston Martin or Mercedes-Benz, it was the Maranello marque's first design to feature the following: a front-mounted V8 engine, two-piece folding metal roof, dual clutch seven-speed transmission, direct fuel injection and multi-link rear suspension. Styled by Pininfarina and subject to over 1,000 hours of wind tunnel testing, the newcomer utilised aluminium for both its chassis and bodywork construction. Related to that in the F430, its 4297cc 'quad cam', 32-valve V8 developed some 453bhp and 358lbft of torque and was allied to the aforementioned dual clutch seven-speed transmission as standard (though, Ferrari would fit a six-speed manual to special order). Despite being among the least expensive models in the range, the California boasted carbon ceramic disc brakes and the traction control system from the marque's flagship 599. Plus it could still sprint from 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds and onto 193mph. Less demanding to drive than its siblings and therefore more enjoyable during everyday 'real world' motoring, the notional 2+2-seater more than fulfilled its brief of attracting new customers to the Ferrari fold. Updated during 2012, the California lost 30kg in weight and gained an extra 30bhp and 11lbft of torque (which dropped its quoted 0-60mph time to 3.8 seconds), while 2014 saw the introduction of the revised California T powered by a twin-turbo 3.9 litre V8. To quote Autocar's contemporary review of the normally aspirated California: 'We'd take it ahead of a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and even an Aston Martin DBS Volante - both more expensive than the Ferrari, both similarly quick, but both without the blend of everyday usability and outright enjoyment'.Offered for sale with clear title by order of the High Court, this particular example has formed part of an extensive London-based private collection since new. Purchased from H.R. Owen (South Kensington) for £166,000, its impressive specification included a yellow rev counter, aluminium foot rest, iPod installation, cruise control, carbon fibre driver zone and steering wheel, carbon fibre central tunnel, Beige central tunnel and armrest, leather / alcantara trim / Daytona, Scuderia Ferrari shield, Magnaride Dual Mode, Red Brake Callipers, parking sensors, interior / exterior electrochromic mirrors, special stitching and 20in Diamond Finished Wheel Rims. An HPi check reveals that (a) the Ferrari has had no former keepers and (b) it is not recorded on their stolen, finance, security watch or insurance write off databases. Entrusted to Jack Barclay for some £2,700 worth of additional colour coding, a UK Government Vehicle MOT History search shows that the high-performance GT was first MOT tested at 450 miles on 30th March 2015. Now displaying just over 500 miles to its odometer, this highly presentable California will hopefully possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. The 'engine control system failure' light currently illuminated on its dashboard will be investigated at the same time. As of 23rd November 2016 we had been advised that the fault code was most likely prompted by a weak battery but will have an update for interested parties come auction day. Offered for sale with H.R. Owen New Vehicle Invoice, original book pack (recording a service at 360 miles) and sundry paperwork. PLEASE NOTE: The cherished registration number visible in the photos - 'OOO5' - does not form part of the sale. However, it is available to purchase by separate negotiation.

1963 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIIA                            This very tidy and original-looking 3000 is finished in Black, trimmed in Tan leather and rides on painted wire wheels. Originally an American export model, it was dispatched on May 15, 1963 to the dealer in Jacksonville, Florida. It remained in the US until being repatriated in 2003 and was then treated to a restoration and conversion to righthand drive between 2005 and 2008. The Healey was then enjoyed and maintained by its owner until his passing, winning Austin-Healey Club concours awards on two occasions during 2012. That same year the car was granted a very positive condition report by the Club, which forms part of the history file, together with a Heritage Certificate and MOT valid to August 11 next year. The indicated mileage presently stands at an unwarranted 63,000 and the vendor views the plush interior trim as 'excellent', and the bodywork, paintwork, straight-six engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'very good' condition. An attractive example of an increasingly sought after model.Launched to great acclaim at the 1952 London Motor Show, the 'Big' Healey enjoyed steady development, with the original four-cylinder cars giving way to the 100-Six of 1956, which was followed by the first of the 3000s in 1959 and the MKII 3000 in 1961. Identifiable by its new grille and bonnet air intake, the MKII was still available as a two-seater (BN7) or four-seater (BT7), but power was increased to 132bhp, courtesy of three 1.5 inch SUs on separate inlet manifolds. These, however, proved difficult to balance and the relatively short-lived MKIIA introduced in January 1962 featured better breathing courtesy of a pair of 2 inch SUs, plus wind-up windows, superior hood and wrap-around windscreen. A total of 6,113 BJ7s were manufactured before the model was supplanted by the MKIII in October 1963.

1951/53 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Limousine      Body design 8381 on chassis BLW15 was considered by renowned coachbuilder Hooper & Co as the prototype for its popular Touring Limousine - the so-called Empress line. Certainly the basis of what turned into the most imposing of motorcars was a bespoke Phantom IV-esque chassis of considerable 145-inch wheelbase mated to Silver Wraith mechanicals - i.e. it is powered by Rolls' 4566cc straight-six engine mated to the company's standard four-speed manual gearbox. The Limousine was built to the order of W H Gatty Saunt - a prosperous industrialist - and purchased through Caffyns of Eastbourne, Sussex. Believed to be the first British car ever equipped with heat-reflecting, tinted glass, 'BHC 888' was duly exhibited at the 1953 Earls Court Motor Show, where it was awarded the gold medal for design; a feat it repeated when displayed by the BARC at the ensuing Grand Prix d'Honneur in Paris.The Rolls' buff log book confirms it was originally registered to the Amalgamated Roadstone Company Ltd on behalf of Mr Gatty Saunt, and remained so until March 1966 when it passed to Dupont Brothers Ltd, and then to diamond dealer Egar Parser in September 1968; who retained it for 33 years. In more recent times, it formed part of an exclusive West Country wedding hire fleet and was immortalised by a starring role in the 2011 Marilyn Monroe biopic, 'My Week with Marilyn'; a film based on books by Colin Clark.A marque specialist service and comprehensive checkover have been carried within the last three years. Unfortunately the Rolls has also endured an accident and is being offered for sale with a degree of damage to its nearside. On the brighter side, it also comes with a DVD of 'My Week with Marilyn', a signed copy of Clark's memoirs, and a vintage Marilyn tea towel.

2012 Ferrari F430 F1 Spider                                   PLEASE NOTE: This lot possesses a MOT certificate valid until 28th November 2017.PLEASE NOTE: The 8th digit of this lot's VIN is 'C' which denotes that it was built to right-hand specification for the UK market. F430 production finished in 2009 and so presumably the Spider was dry stored until being first UK road registered on 26th July 2012.  - One owner from new and 400 recorded miles'Here's a milestone car. The F430 was the first no-buts Ferrari, the first Maranello product for which no excuses needed to be made. It was regarded by most critics as, if not perfect, as close to theoretical Ferrari road-car perfection as a Ferrari had ever been' (John Simister, EVO magazine, March 12th 2013).Unveiled at the Geneva Salon in March 2005, the F430 Spider was a modest 70kg heavier than its Berlinetta sibling. However, the structural strengthening this weight gain allowed meant that the newcomer was a dynamic match for its fixed roof stablemate under most circumstances (Richard Bremner commenting in Autocar magazine that he was only aware of any loss of rigidity perhaps one percent of the time). Styled by Pininfarina under the guidance of Frank Stephenson, the F430 Spider featured a reinforced windscreen and twin steel rollover hoops and could retract its fabric roof under an aluminium 'double bubble' tonneau cover in twenty seconds. The elliptical air intakes which dominated its nose recalled those of the Ferrari 156 'Sharknose' F1 car, while its tail treatment echoed that of the marque's revered Enzo hypercar. A flat underbody and highly effective rear diffuser generated real downforce as did the subtle but effective lip spoiler on the glazed engine cover. The F430 in both open and closed versions was the first modern Ferrari to feature an electronically controlled limited slip differential or 'E-diff' and a steering wheel-mounted 'manettino' switch. The latter enabled the driver to choose between five driving modes (altering the throttle, steering, damping and traction control settings etc in each instance). Derived from that of its F360 predecessor, the two-seater's aluminium chassis boasted improved torsional stiffness and played host to all-round independent suspension, four-wheel vented disc brakes (complete with ABS) and power assisted rack and pinion steering. Displacing 4308cc, its 'quad cam', 32-valve V8 was quoted as developing 483bhp and 343lbft of torque. Allied to either manual or F1-style 'paddle shift' transmission (both six-speed), it enabled the F430 Spider to sprint from 0-60mph in 4.1 seconds and onto over 193mph. The engine was also an aural delight with distinct 'key changes' at 4,500rpm and 7,000rpm on the way to its 8,500rpm redline. Naturally, such throttle induced music was best enjoyed roof down aboard a Spider! Notable as the penultimate naturally-aspirated, V8 mid-engined Ferrari and built in smaller numbers than its 458 successor, the F430 remains a 'tour de force' for any enthusiast driver.Offered for sale with clear title by order of the High Court, this particular example has formed part of an extensive London-based private collection since new. First registered on 26th July 2012 and finished in White with Red leather upholstery (the former carrying Red accents and the latter Cream piping / inserts), 'D15 AAA' wears HR Owen number plates. An HPi check reveals that (a) the Ferrari has had no former keepers and (b) it is not recorded on their stolen, finance, security watch or insurance write off databases. While a UK Government Vehicle MOT History search shows that the supercar was first MOT tested at 388 miles on 2nd July 2015. Now displaying just over 400 miles to its odometer, this stunning F430 Spider will hopefully possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. Offered for sale with original book pack and invoices detailing H.R. Owen services at 92, 225 and 336 miles plus one from Jack Barclay for £2,700 worth of colour styling.

1969 NSU 1200 TT                                                  - Former Autocar road test car and part of NSU's contemporary UK press fleet- 1 of just 9 survivors known to the DVLA, recent engine overhaul and front suspension refurbishment- Intriguing Mini Cooper S rival, MOT'd till November 2017An evolution of the NSU Prinz 1000 TT, the 1200 TT (Tourist Trophy) was launched in June 1967. Marketed as a sports saloon in much the same vein as the Mini Cooper S or Fiat Abarth 850TC, both of which it crossed swords with in the European Touring Car Championship, the newcomer was powered by a mid / rear-mounted 1171cc SOHC four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Boasting an oil cooler, all-round independent suspension, twin carburettors and front disc brakes, the compact four-seater was renowned for its nimble handling and nigh on 100mph performance.First registered as 'EPX 570H' on 15th October 1969, this particular right-hand drive example is notable for having formed part of NSU's contemporary press fleet. As well as being featured in the company's 'An invitation . . .' sales brochure, the 1200 TT acquitted itself with honours when pitted against a Mini 1275GT in Autocar magazine's December 1969 issue, copies of which are included in the sale. The magazine noting that the German machine was faster, freer revving, less cramped and more refined than its British rival.One of just nine 1200 TTs currently known to the DVLA, 'EXP 570H' has recently benefited from an engine overhaul (including new piston rings, bearings and timing chains) not to mention a front suspension refurbishment (uprated Spax adjustable dampers and poly bushes). Finished in Alfa Rot with Black cloth upholstery and displaying a credible but unwarranted 76,000 miles to its odometer, the sports saloon is variously described by the vendor as being in 'good' (bodywork, paintwork, gearbox), 'very good' (engine, electrical equipment) or 'excellent' (interior trim) order. With prices of LHD examples soaring on the Continent, 'EXP 570H' looks to be very good value especially given its wonderful provenance.

1985 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Targa                        Porsche's ubiquitous 911 has come in many guises over the years, though this is probably one of the more individual examples to pass through our hands. It started life as a standard 1985 3.2 Targa, but prior to the vendor's purchase in 2014 it was treated to a G Force 'slant nose' conversion at a cost of c.£25,000, which was apparently achieved using original OEM parts. The Porsche's wheels have also been upgraded, and in place of the standard Fuchs alloys, it now features rare Oscam Type 806 (Rennsport) ones - 10x15 inch at the rear and 8.5x15 inch on the front. The Targa has comprised part of the vendor's collection of cars and, though it's seen little use in his care, has been treated to a partial restoration. He now classes the bodywork and Grand Prix White paintwork as 'excellent' and the Red leather interior trim, flat-six engine and G50 five-speed manual gearbox as 'very good to excellent'. The indicated mileage of just 41,000 is apparently substantiated by the considerable level of accompanying paperwork. Treated to a recent Targa roof renovation using original Porsche supplied kit, 'B303 MYJ' also comes with an MOT valid to June 6, 2017.The 911 Carrera 3.2 made its debut at the 1983 Frankfurt Motorshow. Visually indebted to the outgoing 911 SC, it was available in Coupe, Targa and Cabriolet guises and wore a revised front valance complete with auxiliary driving lamps and a subtle 'Carrera' script on its engine lid. Estimated to be 80 percent new, the newcomer's 3164cc flat-six engine was credited with 231bhp and 209 lb ft of torque - sufficient output to slingshot the Porsche to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and on to a top speed of 153mph. The brakes were enlarged, the top two gear ratios slightly raised, and a redesigned timing chain tensioner installed. By now all 911s were built with galvanised bodies, relieving the concern over corrosion.

1969 Lotus Elan +2                                                - Documented history file to support the 74,000 recorded miles including numerous invoices- Fitted with a replacement Lotus galvanised chassis and Roto-flex driveshaft couplings- A slightly older restoration that has been freshly serviced and issued with a 'no advisories' MOT"The uncanny cornering powers of this remarkable machine equal and probably exceed those of any production car we have driven before: similarly the handling and brakes are certainly not bettered." (Motor magazine, September 1967, re the +2).The Elan name was first applied to Lotus's oh-so-neat, Ron Hickman-penned two-seater Roadster of 1962. It comprised a steel backbone chassis clothed in a lightweight fiberglass body, all powered by a 1558cc Cosworth DOHC version of Ford's proven 'Kent' engine. With independent suspension and disc brakes all-round, the Elan was notably light and nimble. However, it was also tight on space and in June 1967 the company launched the Elan +2 for those in need of more accommodation. Based on a lengthened and widened version of the original chassis, it boasted a lower drag co-efficient and superior road-holding; the latter courtesy of a six-inch wider track and larger tyres. Lotus summarised its intent by saying 'the +2 is designed to carry two adults and two children on a long holiday in comfort'.The subject of a slightly older restoration, 'BGU 853G' is reportedly accompanied by a documented history file that supports its 74,000 recorded miles. To SE specification (Weber carburettors, c.118bhp), the 1558cc twin-cam engine boasts a stainless-steel exhaust and is said to be in 'good condition', and to 'maintain good oil pressure'. While the four-speed manual gearbox is rated as 'good' too. As well as a Lotus galvanised chassis, the Elan has benefited from the fitment of new Roto-flex driveshaft couplings. The vendor tells us that: 'The overall appearance of the car is presentable albeit with the age-related marks typical of an older restoration. A repaint would improve the exterior but the interior remains smart. A fresh, 'no advisories' MOT certificate has been issued and a full service recently undertaken'.

1940 Austin 12/16hp Saloon                                  This very smartly presented Austin 12 is understood to have been a prototype for the largely identical 16hp model introduced immediately post-war, and therefore has the larger 2.2-litre engine (the first OHV unit to be fitted by Austin) and improved four-speed manual gearbox. It boasts an interesting history, having been initially employed as a Royal Navy staff car aboard HMS Implacable and HMS Indomitable, as which it travelled to the Far East, Australia and New Zealand. Wearing its original registration, 'SSV 586', it apparently starred in a number of films and TV series during the early 1990s and has been in the current ownership since 2009. A nut and bolt restoration was undertaken between 2010 and 2012 and the vendor now grades the big Austin's bodywork, Green paintwork, Tan interior trim, and four-cylinder engine as all being in 'excellent' order. A splendid example of a relatively rare breed.

1939 Rolls-Royce Wraith H.J. Mulliner Saloon    PLEASE NOTE: This lot is not accompanied by a V5C Registration Document. The new owner will have to apply for a replacement one by completing a V62 form and submitting it to the DVLA together with a fee of £25. - 1 of just 491 Wraith chassis made, handsome razor edge styling, multiple award winner on both sides of the Atlantic- Last sold by The Chelsea Workshop for £55,000 in 2013More advanced than its predecessors, the Wraith boasted a 4257cc straight-six engine (complete with cross-flow cylinder head), four-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension and 17-inch wire wheels. Just 491 Wraith chassis were completed between 1938 and the outbreak of WW2.Offered for sale with clear title by order of the High Court, this particular example has formed part of an extensive London-based private collection since 10th June 2013 when it was purchased from marque specialist The Chelsea Workshop for £55,000. Crafted by the renowned coachbuilder H.J. Mulliner, its notably handsome Touring Saloon body features twin side-mounts, heaters, sunroofs, veneered rear door panels, razor edge styling and an electric blind. Accompanying paperwork suggests that the Wraith has had five previous keepers namely: V. Waddilove Esq. (1940-44), C. Hague Esq. (1945-64), David Stockwell Esq. (1964-68), Toxey Smith Esq. (1968-91), S. Carter Esq. (1991-2006) and B. Wardle Esq. (2006-). Migrating to America with Mr Stockwell and registered to an address on Hollywood's famous Sunset Boulevard during Mr Smith's tenure, the Rolls-Royce was repatriated in 1991. A multiple award winner on both sides of the Atlantic, 'LMC 705' had its wiring, one-shot lubrication system, calorstat, water pump and brakes fettled later that same decade. Voted 'Most Elegant in Class' at the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club's Annual Rally in 2006, the Wraith was checked over by Fiennes prior to Mr Wardle's purchase and thereafter maintained by A&S Engineering. Reportedly the veteran of ten European rallies, the past few hundred miles have seen 'LMC 705' entrusted to The Chelsea Workshop for attention to its ignition system, inlet manifold / exhaust gaskets, dynamo / starter motor brushes and inner tubes etc (31/05/13) plus a full service (19/07/13). Currently showing some 14,400 unwarranted miles to its odometer, old MOT certificates on file date back to 1991 and show that the Rolls-Royce has covered an additional 100,000 miles (and perhaps more).

1967 Jaguar MK II 3.8 Litre                                          Few would argue that the ultimate specification for a MKII Jaguar includes the 3.8-litre engine teamed with a manual gearbox plus overdrive. This home market example from 1967 ticks those boxes and more, as it also features power assisted steering, limited slip differential and an improved transmission. Finished in Dark Blue and trimmed in Grey hide, it was apparently stored from 1978 to 1988, at which point a two phase restoration was commenced, the final stage of which was carried out by Vicarage Motors. Since 1993, the MKII has resided in the Netherlands and its keeper throughout those years currently grades the bodywork, paintwork, XK engine and overdrive gearbox as 'very good' and the interior trim as 'good'. Featuring notably slimmer roof pillars than its MKI forebear, the immortal Jaguar MKII was as airy on the inside as it was elegant on the outside. Its monocoque bodyshell was equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension and a well located live rear axle, 12 inch disc brakes all round and recirculating ball steering. The model could be specified with a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8-litre version of Jaguar's race-proved, DOHC inline, six-cylinder XK engine. The interior was quintessentially British with its sumptuous leather-covered seats, polished wood facia and door cappings, comprehensive instrumentation and impressive row of auxiliary toggle switches. The attention to detail and build quality of the MKII were remarkable for the price being asked (just £1,779 0s 10d including taxes even for the 3.8) - these cars punched above their weight. Equipped with the 220bhp 3.8-litre engine, the Jaguar was capable of sprinting to 60mph in as little as 8.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 125mph. It was also extremely popular with the general public, bank robbers and the police alike, outselling its smaller-engined siblings, with 30,141 being produced between 1959 and 1967.

1978 Alfa Romeo Giulia Nuova Super 1300          The boxy shape of 105 Series Giulia Saloons belied a low drag coefficient and, powered by the company's ubiquitous all-alloy, DOHC, four-cylinder engine of either 1300 or 1600cc, was capable of shaming many sporting two-seaters of the period. It is perhaps no surprise then that these delightful cars are now highly collectable and racing versions are still being campaigned with vigour. The range first saw the light of day in 1962 and was gradually updated until replaced by the Giulietta in 1978. This notably smart lefthand drive Nuova Super 1300 is therefore among the last of the line. It was imported from Italy in 2011 and benefited from a £14,000 restoration in 2014. The vendor currently considers the bodywork, Tan leather interior and twin-cam engine to be 'excellent', and the Black paintwork and manual transmission 'very good'. 'XUK 215S' comes complete with an MOT into January and a Club Storico Faentino passport.

2002 Porsche 911 Turbo                                        Introduced in 1999, the 996-generation of Porsche's evergreen 911 was styled by Pinky Lai. Boasting a monocoque bodyshell that was some forty-five percent stiffer yet lighter than that of its predecessor, the newcomer also boasted improved aerodynamics and a more ergonomic interior. Perhaps best known for its switch from air- to water-cooling, the 996 was plagued by engine woes. The exception to the rule was the Turbo variant which used an evolution of the Le Mans-winning (and nigh-on bombproof) Metzger flat-six. Displacing some 3.6 litres when fitted to the 996 Turbo, this fearsome powerplant developed a quoted 414bhp and 413lbft of torque. Allied to either six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, it reputedly enabled the 2+2-seater to accelerate from 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds and onto 189mph. With four-wheel drive, Porsche Stability Management and brutally effective four-wheel ABS disc brakes, the flagship 911 was among the very fastest `A-to-B' cars that money could buy. An altogether more brutish looking machine than its normally aspirated siblings, the 996 Turbo sported gaping air intakes to its front bumper, bi-xenon headlights, flared rear wheel arches, 18in alloys and a jutting rear spoiler. A near dynamic match for its 997-generation successor, the 996 Turbo will surely be better appreciated by future generations.Finished in Black Metallic with Red leather upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in `excellent' condition with regard to its engine, Tiptronic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. Stated to have covered just 36,500 miles from new, the last of its eight services was apparently carried out on May 10th 2016. Further benefiting from fresh brake discs and pads, the distinctively registered `S10 OLF' is said to `drive superbly'. Worthy of close inspection, this handsome 996 Turbo is offered for sale with key set, book pack, service history and MOT certificate valid until May 2017.

1935 Rolls-Royce 25/30 Saloon with Division          - Reputedly 1 of just 6 Rolls-Royce 25/30s to be bodied to this design by Windovers - Supplied new to W. Johnson Esq of the Basset confectionary company - Current owner since 1984, Marchal headlamps, drinks cabinet, twin spare wheels This charming long chassis 25/30 is finished in Cream over Brown and trimmed in Brown leather. Its Windovers Saloon body includes a Division and 'MJK 377' is thought to be one of just six Rolls-Royce 25/30s clothed to this design. It was supplied new on October 20, 1936 to W Johnson of the Basset confectionary company. The suitably impressive specification includes Marchal headlamps, twin spare wheels, chrome luggage rack, GB plate and cocktail cabinet. The Rolls has remained within the same ownership since 1984 but is now seeking a fresh chapter in its life courtesy of a new keeper. It comes complete with V5C and a copy of the factory records, as supplied by the RREC. Maintaining its policy of offering one 'Large' and one 'Small' model (the terms being purely relative), Rolls-Royce introduced the 20/25 in 1929 as a successor to the outgoing 20. Though the newcomer was intended to appeal to owner drivers, many examples were in fact sold to customers with chauffeurs. Power came from an enlarged version of the straight-six unit used in the 20. Now of 3699cc, it made for swifter acceleration and a higher top speed - up to 75mph, depending on the chosen body. The four speed manual gearbox featured the manufacturer's traditional righthand change and was equipped with synchromesh on the top two ratios from 1932 onwards. The substantial chassis sported rigid axles front and rear suspended on semi-elliptic leaf springs. The four-wheeled braking was mechanically servo assisted. In 1936, the company opted to increase performance once more, further enlarging the engine to 4257cc to create the so-called 25/30, of which 1201 examples were made before the model was superseded by the Wraith in 1938. Like most Rolls-Royces, the 25/30 starred on the silver screen, most notably in 'The Naked Truth' and 'Death on the Nile'.

1988 Aston Martin V8 Vantage X-Pack                  The 170mph top speed of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage introduced in 1977 placed it firmly in the supercar league of the period. Its engine was shared with the Lagonda, but it used high-performance camshafts, increased compression ratio, larger inlet valves and bigger carburettors mounted on new manifolds for increased output. The straight-line performance was impressive by any standards, with the sprint from 0-60mph being accomplished in a relatively disdainful 5.3 seconds; a touch quicker than even the mighty Ferrari Daytona. Of course the Vantage name had previously been used on a number of high-performance versions of Aston Martin cars, but was now being employed to represent a model in its own right. And although based on the proven V8 model, numerous detail changes combined to create a unique driving experience for the newcomer.The first series of V8 Vantage models boasted 375bhp, plus series specific details such as: a closed-off bonnet vent, blanked-off grille into which was inserted a pair of powerful driving lights; and a separate rear spoiler - 38 of these were built (plus 13 so-called 'Cosmetics' versions for the US). The Oscar India (this stands for October Introduction) model, phased in during the Autumn of 1978, featured an integrated tea-tray spoiler and smoother bonnet bulge. Inside, a black leather-covered dash replaced the previous walnut one, though the wooden dashboard did find its way back into the Vantage during the eighties, in order to achieve a still more luxurious appearance. The Oscar India cars also received a slight increase in power to 390bhp. With some running changes, the Vantage line continued in production until 1989, with engine output rising to 403bhp from 1986 onwards.The 1986-1989 580 'X-Pack' was a further upgrade which, courtesy of Cosworth pistons and Nimrod racing-type cylinder heads, had an output of no less than 420bhp. For those who felt even that was insufficient, a 'big bore' after-market option was also available from Aston Martin Works Service, which featured 50mm carburettors (instead of the standard X-Pack 48mm ones) and a straight-through exhaust system that combined to give a thumping 432bhp (this was the same specification of engine as fitted to the limited-edition V8 Zagato). 16-inch Ronal split-rim wheels shod with 255/50 Goodyear Eagle tyres were another part of the X-Pack package. Just 137 X-Pack derivatives were made all told, making this a rare and desirable car by any standard.The example now offered is a 1988 righthand drive UK specification manual transmission Coupe. According to the vendor, 'it has been totally restored to concours condition and is now nicer than when it left the factory', and he seriously doubts if there is a better one anywhere. It is finished in the striking combination of Rolls-Royce Metallic Blue with Blue-piped Champagne Leather interior trim and logoed Blue carpets, and has covered approximately 72,000 miles in the care of its seven owners. The car was totally restored following an accident in 2001 and fitted with a replacement Vantage engine to correct X-Pack specification. As recently as April this year it was treated to a £7,000 service and shakedown at RS Williams, and is now presented in stunning mechanical and cosmetic condition throughout. 'F438 KGK' comes complete with a full service history from new and comprehensive file including all service and maintenance invoices etc.Realistically valued to reflect the fully repaired accident of many years ago, 'F438 KGK' represents a perhaps unrepeatable opportunity to acquire an example of the most desirable of all Aston Martin V8 Vantage models at a fraction of the current market value for these increasingly cherished British supercars.

1933 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Sedanca Coupe by Gurney NuttingMaintaining its policy of offering one 'Large' and one 'Small' model (the terms being purely relative), Rolls-Royce introduced the 20/25 in 1929 as a successor to the outgoing 20. Though the newcomer was aimed at owner drivers, many examples were sold to customers with chauffeurs. Power came from an enlarged version of the straight-six unit used in the 20. Now of 3,699cc, it made for swifter acceleration and a higher top speed of up to 75mph. The four-speed manual gearbox featured the manufacturer's traditional righthand change and was equipped with synchromesh on the top two ratios from 1932 onwards. The substantial chassis sported rigid axles front and rear suspended on semi-elliptic leaf springs. The four-wheeled braking was mechanically servo assisted. Bodywork for the 20/25, was to the taste of the customer, and Gurney Nutting, Park Ward, Thrupp & Maberly, Mulliner and Hooper were among the many coachbuilders selected to clothe these fine cars. Nearly 4,000 20/25 chassis were produced, making it the company's best-selling model between the wars.The English coachbuilder J Gurney Nutting & Co Limited was founded in 1918 and its first designs were displayed at the 1920 London Motor Show. The two developments that helped propel the company to early prominence from 1924 were a licence to employ the Weymann technique of body construction and the arrival of Scottish designer AF McNeil, who joined from Cunard. In 1928 the Prince of Wales commissioned a Weymann body on a 41/2-litre Bentley that featured a high waistline and shallow windows for added privacy. The so-called 'Prince of Wales' body style became a best seller, and in 1931 Nuttings was appointed 'Motor Body Builders to His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales', an honour that endured until 1935. By the early '30s Nutting had dropped the Weymann style of fabrication in favour of more rounded, traditionally-built coachwork and so began the company's heyday of Saloon, Coupe de Ville and Sedanca de Ville bodies on Rolls-Royce and Bentley chassis.The decidedly elegant lines of this lovely Sedanca Coupe is a perfect case in point, which is one of only 22 manufactured to the specifications of London Rolls-Royce dealer Captain H.R. Owen, that are therefore also known as 'Owen Sedancas' - purchasers of these grand models included three sons of King George V and Prince Ali Khan, the husband of film star Rita Hayworth. It is understood that Chassis GSY20 was originally ordered with Thrupp & Maberley coachwork, but the buyer, an A R Tillotson, perhaps swayed by the kudos surrounding the royally patronised Gurney Nutting Sedanca Coupe, switched the build to that design, which came off test on May 4 1933.Not too much is known about the motorcar's subsequent history. It is believed to have spent time in the United States and was the subject of an older restoration that has stood the test of time well, displaying only a few minor marks and cracks in the paintwork. It is these days finished in the stately combination of Dark Green (Brewster Green or a near match) over Black and trimmed in Tan hide, and was acquired by the vendor in 1991 as an addition to his already sizeable private collection. It featured in the Miller's Guide for 1991/1992 (p.280) and is understood to have been exhibited at the RREC's Castle Ashby club event on several occasions, won a prize at Techno Classica Essen, and participated in this year's Classic Days at Schloss Dyck event.This eminently practical Coupe, with its wide doors and front seats that fold well forward to aid rear seat entry, has many notable features including: twin wing-mounted spare wheels, above the nearside one of which is mounted a rearview mirror; the comprehensive vanity units mounted either side of the rear seat; Gurney Nutting's trademark beading running from the radiator grille to each rear wheelarch. GSY20 is superbly presented by the vendor who currently considers the Coupe coachwork, paintwork, interior trim, straight-six engine and manual gearbox to all be in 'excellent' order. A rare opportunity.

1962 Bristol 407                                                  The 407 was in many ways a landmark car for the quintessentially British manufacturer Bristol. It was the first to be produced since the company's car and aviation divisions had gone their separate ways. It was also the first to be powered by an engine other than Bristol's own BMW-derived straight-six that, after 14 years of sterling service, now lacked the output of more contemporary units. In its place sat a Canadian-built 5130cc (313ci) Chrysler V8 which, with an output of 250bhp, endowed the 407 with literally double the power of the outgoing 406 and, in instead of the familiar four-speed manual transmission it drove through a three-speed Chrysler Torque flight automatic unit. The front suspension now featured coil rather than leaf springing and the rack and pinion steering was superseded by a Marles worm-type system. The styling, more evolution than revolution, resulted in sharper lines and flatter panels than exhibited by its predecessor. Motor magazine's period road test of the model proved it capable of sprinting to 60mph in 9.2 seconds and accelerating on to a top speed of 125.2mph.Copies of this Bristol's factory records show it was delivered new to sole dealer Anthony Crook Motors on June 6, 1962. It is one of an estimated 88 made, of which only 20 or so apparently remain in roadworthy condition. The original engine was replaced by a 'new old stock' unit in 2008 at an indicated 42,000 miles, while the Beige interior was treated to a sympathetic £4,260 refurbishment in 2010 and the steering box overhauled still more recently. Finished in eye-catching Lava Red, '559 JTV' now registers an unwarranted but entirely feasible 63,000 miles and is being offered complete with a detailed service history that evidently confirms this rare English classic has been regularly and properly maintained throughout its 54 years.

1986 Ferrari 328 GTS                                              Introduced at the September 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show the Ferrari 328 shot straight to the top of the 'junior supercar' league. Borrowed from the preceding 308, its tubular-steel chassis was equipped with coil-over double-wishbone independent suspension, front / rear anti-roll bars and potent disc brakes. Though, the adoption of a 288 GTO-specification steering rack brought notably sharper responses. Transversely mid-mounted, the newcomer's Tipo 105CB 'quad-cam' 32-valve V8 displaced 3185cc. Credited with developing 270bhp and 224lbft of torque, it was allied to five-speed manual transmission and gave suitably authoritative performance (0-60mph: 5.5 seconds / 158mph). Styled by Pininfarina, the 328 retained the same iconic silhouette as its forebear but added a larger 'egg crate' grille, new bumpers and reworked bonnet / boot lids etc. Available in both GTB (berlinetta) and GTS (spider) guises, the Ferrari also benefited from a revamped interior - again inspired by the 288 GTO - complete with improved switchgear, redesigned centre console and more cosseting seats. Beloved by the press and public alike, the 328 remained in production until 1989.1 of just 6,068 produced 'C771 CRU' was imported into the UK in 2015, and is finished in Rosso red with a Black interior and displays some 41,500 miles on its odometer. Having spent most of its life in the USA the Ferrari is described as 'very clean' and a 'well presented' example which is ready to enjoy. It is accompanied by the original spare wheel, original jack and roll with some tools, collection of invoices and its understood to possess a fresh MOT by the time of sale.

1965 Daimler V8-250                                              This tidy Maroon V8 is understood to be completely original apart from a long list of desirable extras that include: power steering; Coopercraft brakes; Harvey Bailey handling kit; stainless steel exhaust system; oil cooler; Facet fuel pump; Kenlowe electric fan; wire wheels; and Coombs-style wheel arches. 'LGU 967D' currently displays an unwarranted 84,000 miles and is considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, Black interior trim, V8 engine and automatic transmission. It is now offered complete with green log book, Heritage Certificate, original handbook and a comprehensive history that includes a sizeable collection of invoices. The V8-250 was a derivative of the all-conquering MKII Jaguar. Its name was drawn from its engine - a lightweight, eight-cylinder one of 2,548cc. This was mated to a Borg Warner three-speed automatic or four-speed manual gearbox. Production continued until manufacture of all MKII derivatives ceased in 1969, by which time some 17,620 of the Daimler version had been made.

1980 MG B GT                                                      - Not road registered until June 1991 and still just 13,400 miles from new- Enhanced with numerous period-style upgrades including Black leather upholstery- Ready to show and enjoy, freshly serviced with a 'no advisories' MOT certificateBy 1980, its eighteenth and final year of production, the MG B had become firmly entrenched as Britian's best-loved sportscar. Thus, quite a few examples - including this one - were thoroughly Ziebart rust-proofed before being squirreled away in dry storage. Not road registered until 24th June 1991, the 2+2-seater was acquired by its second private keeper some two years later who treated it to the following sympathetic and period-style upgrades: a beautifully engineered (and possibly unique) rear wash-wipe, wooden Moto-lita steering wheel, stainless steel exhaust, full-length Britax sunroof, tailored / removable load cover, detachable dash-mounted search light, Black leather upholstery (to factory specification), security locks to the doors / bootlid and Minilite-type alloys. Finished in its original shade of Vermillion Red, the GT is warranted to have covered just 13,400 miles from new. Said to 'drive wonderfully in the way that only a very low mileage, unrestored car can', 'MGB 89V' has been freshly serviced and is offered for sale with a 'no advisories' MOT certificate. Ready to show and enjoy, this clearly much-loved GT is described by the seller as being in 'excellent' condition with regard to its 1798cc engine, four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim. Go find another!

1996 Aston Martin DB7                                           PLEASE NOTE: The estimate in the printed catalogue is incorrect. The correct estimate is 16,000 - 20,000 Although Victor Gauntlett had long mooted the idea, it took the arrival of Ford money and TWR Group know-how for a new generation, 'small' Aston Martin to become reality. Unveiled at the March 1993 Geneva Salon, the DB7 revived the nomenclature of the much vaunted and now highly collectable David Brown Astons of the '50s and '60s, but had been subjected to more testing and development work than any of the marque's previous models. powered by a supercharged 3239cc DOHC straight-six engine allied to either manual or automatic transmission with a quoted 335bhp / 361lbft of torque on tap, the newcomer boasted 160mph performance. This right-hand drive automatic transmission DB7 is finished in Silver with a Grey hide interior and displays 71,200 miles. Offered with a collection of invoices and old MOT's plus original book pack with handbooks and service book its understood that a fresh MOT will be present by the time of sale.

1964 Mercedes-Benz 220 SEB Coupe                  This lovely big Benz has had just four keepers from new, the first of whom retained it for 32 years. Fitted with the rarer four-speed manual floor change gearbox and sunroof, the vendor acquired it in 2015 and believes it had been kept rain-free since being restored and resprayed five years earlier. The Coupe is understood to have started life in Glasgow before spending an extended period in the Channel Islands. Earlier this year the vendor commissioned Classic Restorations of Alyth to carry out any remedial work they felt was required, the bill for which totalled £4,250. Finished in Black over Silver and trimmed in a very attractive shade of Red leather, 'BLR 829B' is now ready to be enjoyed by a new keeper and is being offered complete with: receipts dating back to 2000 and for the 2010 restoration that included work to the brakes, suspension and exhaust system, powder coated wheels, new tyres and radiator and fresh upholstery, headlining carpet and dash; plus a number of old MOTs and one valid to November 16 next year. Judging by the paperwork, the recorded mileage of 73,000 is almost certainly genuine. A fine example of period Mercedes-Benz engineering.Via the W111 'fintail' series of 1959, Mercedes continued its practice of offering special two-door Coupe or Roadster versions of its Saloon cars, and the 220SEB took this supreme elegance to a whole new level. Based on the flagship S-class W111 'fintail' Saloon, with its signature upright headlights and imposing traditional Mercedes-Benz grille, the Coupe comprised a light and airy pillarless glasshouse over a distinctive two-door body. The 220 Coupe was very well appointed inside, featuring Mercedes textured leather and wood trimmings. The model's 2195cc, SOHC engine employed mechanical fuel injection of the same type as the 'Pagoda' SLs - its 120bhp being sufficient to propel the car at up to 106mph. A total of some 14,173 220SEB Coupes were built between 1961 and 1965 when the run was terminated.

1987 Range Rover Vogue Turbo D                          This handsome home market example of what is now known as the Range Rover Classic is finished in Shire Blue and trimmed in contrasting Grey velour. Following 15 years in storage, it was treated to a 12-month, £10,000-plus restoration to show standard, and was duly rewarded with a 3rd place concours award at Thornton Manor. The Range Rover's odometer currently reads an unwarranted 127,000 miles and the vendor now regards its bodywork, paintwork, diesel engine and five-speed manual transmission as all being in 'excellent' order, and is offering the vehicle complete with Heritage Certificate, invoices for work done, and second set of keys. Launched in 1970, the Range Rover was initially powered by a 3.5-litre version of Rover's ubiquitous Buick-derived V8, and it was the 1988 model year version of the vehicle that was the first to be offered with the option of a turbo diesel engine - the Italian-made 2.4-litre VM Motori unit.

1962 Jaguar MK II 2.4 Litre                                            Morse's memory still runs rampant - and not just in the hallowed halls of Oxford city either, as proven by this splendid lookalike of his unmistakable 2.4 MKII Jaguar, complete with Maroon paintwork topped by that signature Black Everflex roof, righthand drive steering and manual transmission. It has been the subject of considerable attention in recent times too. This has included; an engine-out overhaul; refurbished front suspension; glass-out repaint; a new Red leather interior complete with headlining; a replacement for the aforementioned vinyl roof; new brake hoses and overhaul of brake calipers; fresh ignition system; restoration of the twin SU carburettors; and a new battery as recently as this year. Currently showing an unwarranted 65,500 miles, '421 AOW' is now in need of a suitably caring new home and is being offered complete with an MOT valid to June 7 next year. Fans of the irascible detective please form an orderly queue...

1987 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth                            PLEASE NOTE: The chassis number for this vehicle is WF0EXXGBBEGR93447 and not as previously stated. - Prize winner exhibited at numerous shows on both sides of the Irish Sea- 13 services and 55,000 miles from new, original livery of Diamond White with Raven fabric upholstery- Graham Goode Racing Level 2 engine conversion and Mongoose stainless exhaust but otherwise standardIntroduced at the 1985 Geneva Motor Show, the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth - the first Blue Oval product to wear a Cosworth badge - was the brainchild of Stuart Turner and his team. Conceived as a means of homologating the Sierra for Group A Touring Car Racing, the newcomer's three-door monocoque bodyshell was aerodynamically enhanced via a deep front air dam, side skirts and 'whale tail' rear spoiler. Powered by a Cosworth-designed 2-litre DOHC 16-valve turbo engine allied to Borg Warner T5 manual transmission, the rear-wheel drive hatchback was credited with developing some 204bhp and 205lbft. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.2 seconds and 149.5mph in standard tune, total production of the first generation RS Cosworth is thought to have amounted to just 5,542 cars. First registered to Ford dealer Kirbys of Wrexham, this particular example was maintained by them up to 29,547 miles. Serviced seven times thereafter (most recently on August 1st 2016), it has covered just over 55,000 miles from new. Uprated by Cosworth specialist Graham Goode Racing with their Level 2 engine conversion at 48,240 miles (29/9/06), the RS has since benefited from a Cometic WRC-type head gasket at 48,670 miles (15/4/07) not to mention a new cambelt / other drive belts and replacement water pump at 50,860 miles (29/6/10). Obviously much loved, the Fast Ford has been exhibited at numerous shows on both sides of the Irish Sea with its most recent prize being awarded at the 2012 Tatton Park Classic Car Show. Finished in its original livery of Diamond White with Raven Fabric cloth upholstery, 'D318 GBF' sports a Mongoose stainless steel exhaust and is described by the vendor as being in 'very good overall' condition. Offered for sale with original book pack, history file, CD workshop manual and MOT certificate valid until 31st July 2017.

1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster                                  An eye-catching sight in period Pastel Green, this lovely lefthand drive Roadster has had just three owners from new and only one for the last 48 years. A remarkably original, unrestored, matching numbers example even down to its cylinder head, it has undoubtedly benefited greatly from a life in the California sunshine and being garaged when not in use. A recent £5,500 recommission means it is now ready for a new keeper to add to the existing relatively modest mileage of 66,000. The vendor variously grades the Jaguar as having an 'excellent' XK engine, 'very good' Roadster bodywork and manual transmission, 'average' paintwork, and 'poor' Green interior trim. UK registered and equipped with original-style Ace number plates, 'YNG 503' should be eligible for a number of significant historic events, including the Mille Miglia.The stunning-looking XK120 Roadster caused a sensation when it was launched at the London Motor Show of 1948. Capable of 120 mph and more (hence the name), it immediately assumed the mantle of the world's fastest production car. The equally elegant Fixed Head Coupe version followed in 1951 with the Drop Head Coupe completing the range in 1953. The key to the car's stunning performance was its all new, alloy-headed DOHC 3.4-litre, straight-six engine, the basic design of which successfully powered a whole range of Jaguars until the late '80s. In standard form the output was 160bhp, but in SE (Special Equipment) guise (which included firmer suspension and a twin exhaust) this rose to 180bhp, and with the C-Type head installed nearer 200bhp was on tap. In testing a Fixed Head SE XK120 in 1952, Autocar achieved a 0-60mph time of 9.9 seconds. The 120's suspension was independent by wishbones and torsion bars at the front and by live axle mounted on semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear.

1951 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn                                        Unveiled in 1949, the Silver Dawn had the distinction of being the first Rolls-Royce to wear standard steel coachwork. Visually and mechanically indebted to its Bentley MKVI stablemate, the newcomer was powered by a 4257cc straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 90mph, the luxuriously appointed four-door saloon gained a larger 4566cc powerplant during 1951 and the option of four-speed automatic transmission the following year. Suspension was independent at the front and by live axle on semi-elliptic leaves at the rear. Braking was by servo-assisted drums all-round. A total of just 761 Silver Dawns had been manufactured by the time the model was supplanted by the Silver Cloud.Offered for sale with clear title by order of the High Court, this particular example has formed part of an extensive London-based private collection since 10th April 1989. Understood to be one of just 170 4.25-litre Silver Dawns made, chassis SFC 82 was delivered new to J. Plunkett Esq. during November 1951. Completed over four decades later, a handwritten valuation form on file claims that `The engine, gearbox, rear axle, suspension and brakes have all been overhauled . . . Vehicle has one owner from new and then myself . . . During the course of nine years it cost me over £39,000 just to restore the car with original parts'. Accompanying invoices and estimates suggest that The Bentley Service Centre of Nine Elms and The Chelsea Workshop undertook at least part of the refurbishment. Starting readily upon inspection, the Silver Dawn's last major service (a 24,000 miles `C' schedule one) appears to have been carried out by The Chelsea Workshop at a cost of £6,102.42 during May 2013 (less than 200 miles ago). An HPi check reveals that the Silver Dawn is not recorded on their stolen, finance, security watch or insurance write off databases.

1952 Bristol 401                                                      - 1 of just 618 made, matching chassis and engine numbers- Recent bare metal repaint, sundry rechroming and mechanical recommissioning"This, indeed, is the car for the connoisseur. It can only be modesty on the part of the Bristol publicity boys which has prevented them from quoting as the 401's slogan 'The Best Car in Britain'" (Motor Sport magazine, January 1953). Introduced in Autumn 1949, the 401 was characterised by its super-smooth, aerodynamic bodywork. Honed in the Bristol Aeroplane Company's wind tunnel and built using Milanese coachbuilder Touring's 'Superleggera' technique, it boasted a commendably lithe kerb weight (c.2,700lbs). Equipped with transverse-leaf independent front suspension and hydraulic drum brakes, the newcomer proved a notably fine handler taking Touring Class wins on both the Cannes and Tulip Rallies during 1951. Powered by a 1971cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the elegant sports saloon promised nigh-on 100mph performance. Only in production for four years (by which time a mere 618 are thought to have been made), the model's exclusive £3,212 13s 4d price tag was a reflection of the aircraft quality materials used in its construction.Supplied new by Anthony Crook Ltd of Hersham, Surrey, this particular example - chassis 401/1094 - was dry stored for some sixteen years prior to entering the current ownership. An enthusiast who had driven Bristols on various historic rallies, the vendor treated `VSJ 780' to a bare metal repaint and sundry rechroming plus some sympathetic mechanical recommissioning. As well as a new cylinder head gasket, the original `matching numbers' engine benefited from new core plugs, flushed out waterways and overhauled carburettors. The radiator core was attended to as were the water pump, starter solenoid, wiring and brakes. Finished in Cambridge Grey Metallic with Dark Blue leather upholstery, the Bristol is variously described by the vendor as being in `good' (electrical equipment), `very good' (bodywork, paintwork, engine, interior trim) or `excellent' (gearbox) condition. Offered for sale with parts manual invoices and various vehicle documents.

1936 Alvis Crested Eagle TF 19.82 Saloon            Thought to be one of only four such Alvis cars to remain, one of which is in the USA and another in Sweden, this Charlesworth-bodied Saloon is finished in Burgundy over Black and trimmed in Burgundy leather. Delivered new to its first owner in Newmarket during September/October 1936, it was subsequently acquired by a Mr L Camidge in 1965, Mr Tim Dale in 1980, Mr Mike Cummins in 1998, and Mr Brian Garratt in 2003. `DGY 755' was treated to a thorough `chassis up' restoration by an enthusiast during the 1980s, which included a complete refurbishment of the interior. The Alvis has driven less than 1,500 miles since the work was completed and the vendor grades the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-speed all-synchromesh manual gearbox and 2.7 litre engine as all being in `good' order.
