Lot 2007
As part of his publicity campaign to promote the Austin-Healey 100/4, Donald Healey entered a team of four pre-production cars for the 1953 Le Mans 24-hour race. Running with standard windscreens, interiors and even bumpers, two of this mildly tweaked quartet survived to finish 12th and 14th overall (an amazing result for such comparatively inexpensive cars in near showroom condition). Amongst numerous other racing and rallying victories, Austin-Healey enjoyed further success at the Sebring International Raceway in the USA. Offering classic 1960's looks but with the confidence and reliability that current technology brings, the Sebring TMX offers performance and excitement aplenty at a fraction of the cost of an original Big Healey. This example is fitted with a 4.4-litre V8 engine matched to manual transmission. 'MXI 439' is offered with V5C, history file and build manual and comes with a current MOT certificate into August 2017.
Lot 2010
To many, the TR6's sharp styling - Karmann's reinterpretation of the Michelotti-penned TR4/TR5 - looks ever better with age, and this notably smart red example certainly strikes the right pose. Trimmed in Black and riding on Minilite-style wheels, it benefits from a restoration in 2012 and a range of mechanical upgrades. These include: competition clutch; oil cooler; EBC Green Stuff brake pads operating on drilled/grooved discs; and a roll cage. Further additions to the specification include a factory hardtop, superior four-speaker stereo and USB connectivity. The vendor informs us that the Triumph 'drives and handles beautifully' and regards the bodywork, paintwork, original Black vinyl interior, straight-six engine and manual gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order. He says the car has travelled just 5,000 miles in the last 11 years and believes the indicated total of 79,396 to be genuine. He is now offering 'SVR 43H' complete with an MOT valid until July 20 next year.
Lot 2014
Now here's the perfect project with which to while away the long winter evenings - a 'one owner from new' Series 3 Lotus Seven that's running and complete but, by its owner's admission, could do with some modest recommissioning and cosmetic improvement. It's no ordinary Series 3 either, but one of the rare Holbay-engined ones (less than 350 S3s were made, very few of which were Holbay-powered). The other extras specified when the car was ordered new from Lotus agent Caterham Cars in Autumn 1969, were a set of Lotus Dunlop alloy wheels and pair of seat belts. Its specification also included the later, stronger Ford gearbox and Ford rear axle which, together with the hand-built engine, made for a tough reliable version of this iconic breed of Lotus. In 1989, the powerplant was returned to Holbay and overhauled as a precautionary measure. During the refurbishment it was fitted with a later stronger cylinder block, however, the original unit was retained and is available if required. When new, the alloy body featured a Yellow nosecone and wings but was painted Silver all over around the same time as the engine work was carried out - the colour contrasts well with the car's Black vinyl trim. All parts that have removed, such as the front wings, hood, side screens, rare rear lights, tonneau etc, are being automatically included in the sale. The car also comes complete with its original V5, Lotus Letter of Provenance, letter between Holbay and the owner regarding the overhaul carried out, and a copy of Lotus's hand-written build sheet. The Seven currently indicates a total unwarranted mileage of 40,039 and is considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' engine, 'good' bodywork, paintwork and four-speed manual transmission, and 'average' interior trim. A rare opportunity for the many lovers of Chapman's rightly revered Lotus Seven.
Lot 2015
- Reportedly acquired by the Jaguar collector vendor in 1994 as a recently imported LHD restoration project from the USA- Rejuvenated and converted to RHD by the vendor and specialists with a photographic record between about 2012 and 2016- UK registered but illness dictates a new owner will have a few jobs to finish such as tuning the carburettors and fitting sun visors'785 UYR' was manufactured on September 24th 1962 and despatched a couple of weeks later to Jaguar's New York agent to deliver to its first owner, a Mr E. White. At the time it featured left-hand drive and was finished in Black with contrasting Red interior trim. The vendor is a Jaguar collector, who acquired the car in 1994 following its repatriation as a restoration project straight from the USA. Working hand in glove with appropriate specialists between 2012 and 2016, he converted the E-type to right-hand drive and largely completed the intended rejuvenation of the vehicle before ill health sadly forced him to cease work on the project. To date the restoration has included the replacement of sills on both sides of the car, the installation of new floor sections, and the purchase of lots of new parts that were employed in the refurbishment of the engine, clutch, gearbox, differential, electrical system, hood / frame and interior trim etc. The tyres are also new all-round. Among the remaining tasks are tuning the engine, fitting the sun visors and boot carpet, and general road testing, so it should be possible for the next keeper to complete the work in pretty short shrift. The odometer presently displays an unwarranted 73,987 miles and the Jaguar now features Red bodywork teamed with Black interior trim - ie the reverse of how it started life. The vendor currently classes the interior trim, 3.8-litre engine and four-speed manual transmission as 'very good', and the bodywork and paintwork as 'good'. He is now offering the E-Type complete with: Jaguar Heritage certificate, an MOT valid until March 16th next year, a large collection of invoices from the likes of Martin Robey, Hutson Motor Company and the David Manners Group etc, plus a photographic record of all the work carried out to date.
Lot 2017
Finished in the subtle combination of Baltic Blue bodywork and Black leather interior trim, this left-hand drive 930 Series Turbo initially dwelt in the relatively rust-free state of California, where it is understood to have remained in the same ownership from 1987 until recently imported to the UK. The vendor informs us that the Porsche sustained some mild damage to the bonnet and rear quarter panels during shipping but, as the car was otherwise in such first-class condition, it was decided to invest in a full respray rather than just local repairs. This work was carried out by Norfolk Premier Coachworks of Norwich who also carried out a degree of re-upholstery. Finally, an engine leak down test was successfully performed and new oil lines installed 'to bring the car up to A1 condition'. The Porsche was MOT'd in September of this year, having travelled zero miles since the previous test - the total mileage now stands at just 42,104. With all the above in mind the vendor has no hesitation in declaring the car's bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, 3.3-litre flat-six engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order. With the values of all generations of 911 continuing to rise, such quality examples are inevitably increasingly keenly sought after.The 930 was introduced at the 1974 Paris Motorshow and produced from 1975 to 1989, during which time it topped Porsche's model range. It was based around the Carrera 3.0 RS, the engine from which was modified courtesy of turbo technology originally developed for the 917/30 CAN-AM cars. Power output of the 3.3-litre versions was 300bhp - enough to accelerate the car to 60mph in 4.9 seconds and on to 156mph. A 'whale tail' rear spoiler and wider rear wheel/tyre package were fitted to help deliver the power to the road.
Lot 2020
Jensen's striking replacement for the slant-eyed C-V8 first saw the light of day in 1966. It broke some of the firm's established traditions in that the design was outsourced - to Carrozzeria Touring - and the bodies were made of steel rather than glass reinforced plastic. Power was initially supplied by a 6276cc Chrysler V8, driving through either a four-speed manual or three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission to an LSD-equipped Salisbury rear axle. The MKII model of 1969 brought revised frontal styling and ventilated disc brakes. Introduced at the October 1971 Earl's Court Motor Show, the Interceptor III was visually distinguished by cast headlight surrounds, GKN cast alloy wheels and a comprehensively revamped interior and was produced in four Series - G, H, J and S4. By May 1972 the engines on RHD cars had been increased in capacity to a whopping 7212cc. A total of some 6,408 Interceptors were produced between 1966 and 1976. However, just 509 of those were Convertibles.The indicated mileage of this gorgeous-looking Interceptor is just 25,000 - a plausible though unwarranted figure the vendor feels is supported by the sheer quality of the interior, engine bay and underside of the car. He informs us that the automatic gearbox and torque converter have been replaced in recent times and that he presently grades the Jensen as 'almost concours', with 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, and transmission, and adds that 'the V8 is the sweetest you will hear and the car is simply a pleasure to drive'. Though just 4,000 miles have been covered in the last 16 years, the Interceptor was apparently extensively used and enjoyed this summer, but must now make way for the impending arrival of an Aston Martin. Finished in lustrous Metallic Blue, and trimmed in Black leather contrasted by sheepskin inserts, this lovely combination of British engineering and American muscle would surely grace any classic car collection.
Lot 2021

The suspension was improved via new rear springs, shock absorbers and various bushes, while the brakes were fitted with uprated Coopercraft 4-pot front callipers and stainless steel hoses etc. Since 2010, the V8-250 has further benefited from attention to its power steering, engine mounts, heater, spark plugs / ignition leads. Deemed by the vendor to be in 'very good' condition with regard to its engine, automatic transmission, bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment and interior trim, the Daimler is offered for sale with previous owners' details, restoration photos, original handbook, service book, workshop manual, parts book and assorted receipts / invoices.BodyworkMajor bodywork restoration by the highly regarded Jaguar restorer CMC Bridgnorth during the late 1990s and early 2000s including a bare metal re-spray in its original Willow Green, extensive re chroming including the bumpers and grille and a new windscreen.

Lot 2022
This extremely attractive righthand drive Mondial is resplendent in Silver complemented by a luscious Red leather interior. It has been the subject of a great deal of attention in the last two to three years, as supported by the £23,000 worth of bills for the restoration of the body and a further £7,000 worth for mechanical refurbishment. A service was carried out as recently as February this year and the odometer currently stands at just 55,200 miles. Unsurprisingly, the vendor currently views the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as 'excellent' and the V8 engine and five-speed manual transmission as 'very good'. A clearly extremely well maintained example, 'VPD 995X' comes complete with a massive history file that includes the original handbooks and service record, invoices dating back to the 1980s, and MOTs from 1986 onwards plus a fresh MOT into September 2017 with no advisory's. Production ran for just 2 years, during which 703 Coupe were created, just 152 of which featured right-hand drive.
Lot 2026
- c.10,000 miles covered since full body off restoration by Healey specialists Orchard Restorations including an engine upgrade- Featured in a full page advertisement in 'The Motor' magazine in October 1963- Heritage Cerificate, original RHD UK car, detailed history fileThe prototype 'Big' Healey was the sensation of the 1952 London Motorshow. Once in production it 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. Introduced in February 1962, the 3000 MKII 2+2 'BJ7' model (nicknamed the MKIIA) pioneered such 'luxuries' as wind-up windows, swivelling quarter-lights and a fixed convertible hood. Its independent wishbone front suspension gained stiffer coil springs and it benefited from a more direct steering box. The manual / overdrive transmission gained a new case, and the 2912cc straight-six engine switched to twin carburettors. With a reputed 132bhp and 170lbft of torque on tap, Girling front discs became standard equipment.Despatched on 2 May 1963 to London dealer Car Mart Ltd and registered BHX 966A, this original RHD home market car has been in the current ownership since 1998. The subject of a comprehensive restoration by Orchard Restorations immediately following its purchase by the vendor, it has covered just c.7,000 miles since completion in 2001. Invoices for the work are detailed in the nicely presented history file. Correspondence accompanying the car records a replacement block being fitted at some point prior to 1986 whilst a detailed list of works carried out between 1991 and 2008 shows expenditure in excess of £37,000. BHX 966A featured in period advertising and a copy advert from Autocar is included together with a Heritage Certificate, Swansea V5C, MoT to June 2017, green logbook, list of owners back to 1972, restoration invoices and photographs, expired MoT certificates & tax discs together with correspondence and other sundry invoices. Finished in arguably the best colour combination of Ice blue / white with blue interior, this fine example is worthy of close inspection.
Lot 2028
- 1 of just 12 RHD Lele Sports built according to the Iso and Bizzarini Owners' Club - Ford 5.7 litre V8 engine overhauled three years ago and uprated with Holley carburettor, Weiand alloy intake manifold and electronic ignition- The Sport model boasted a different interior, revised bumpers, various body modifications and most notably a 5-speed ZF manual gearboxAccording to the Iso and Bizzarini Owners' Club, this eye-catching example of '70s Italian exotica is one of only 12 right-hand drive Lele Sports made and therefore exceedingly rare. The Sport version most notably boasted a ZF five-speed manual gearbox, plus a model-specific interior and range of identifying body details. This car's 5.7-litre Ford engine was apparently overhauled three years ago, at which time it was uprated with Holley carburettor, Weland alloy intake manifold and electronic ignition. The vendor acquired the Lele in October 2009, since when he has continued to compile an astonishingly detailed diary of the servicing and general maintenance it has enjoyed - the document runs to eight A4 pages and would appear to leave nothing to doubt. 'JOJ 992N' is now being offered complete with a copy of that diary, V5C, and an MOT valid to April 18 next year. There is also a fascinating letter of May 2013 from the Secretary of the Iso and Bizzarini Club, explaining that the fact this particular car was manufactured in December 1973 but remained unsold until 1975 could well be because the company entered liquidation early in 1974. It also points out that the sales records of the last UK concessionaires, Nicholas van der Steen Ltd, are presumed to have been lost. However, the Secretary did enclose the relevant page from the factory build sheets, which forms part of the accompanying history file. A rare and exciting motorcar that is extremely well presented throughout.The striking Lele was penned by Marcello Gandini on behalf of Bertone and produced from 1969 to the closure of the company in 1974. Of 2+2 configuration it sat between the Grifo and Fidia in the maker's model range, all of which were powered by either Ford or Chevrolet V8 engines - the Ford ones with manual transmission produced 360bhp.
Lot 2031
- Supplied new by Lancaster Porsche in Colchester, Essex, in April 1988- Presented with its original service book and a good quantity of maintenance invoices and 18 previous MOT certificates- Approximately 101,000 miles recorded and entered by its current local lady ownerThe resplendent White bodywork and White-centred Fuchs alloy wheels of 'E481 MDX' contrast most effectively with its White-piped Black leather interior trim and Black hood. It was supplied new by Lancaster Porsche of Colchester, Essex in April 1988 to a J. Knight of Southminster in the same county. The accompanying history file contains the original service book which, together with a forest of related invoices, confirms a high degree of maintenance over the years. Recent attention includes a gearbox renovation in February 2007, the replacement of the clutch in 2013 and the fitment of new tyres all round within the last 1,000 miles. The records also confirm a speedometer change by Chapelgate Porsche (an authorised Porsche dealership) in March 1997, when the mileage stood at 57,674 - it currently totals c.101,000 from new.This tidy and apparently very original example of a much admired breed is now being offered by a local lady owner, who currently classes the bodywork, paintwork and turbocharged flat-six engine as 'very good' and the four-speed manual transmission and interior trim as 'good'. She is selling the car complete with the aforementioned comprehensive history file, that includes the original owners' wallet and manuals, no less than 18 old MOT certificates, plus one valid to April 12 next year. A rapidly appreciating asset capable of offering years of fast wind-in-the hair motoring.When introduced in 1974 Porsche's 3.0-litre 930 Turbo was the fastest production car available on its native German market. However, the later 3.3-litre version, such as the Cabriolet on offer, was considerably quicker again, and capable of sprinting from zero to 60mph in 4.9 seconds and on to a top speed of c.160mph. The later car also featured much improved braking. A total of 16,535 3.3-litre turbos were manufactured, only 918 of which were Cabriolets.
Lot 2033
- Reportedly sold new by Cornes Ferrari in Japan- Registered in the UK in April 2015 and described by the vendor as being in good to very good condition- Finished in the classic and desirable Ferrari colour combination and sporting the F1 transmissionIntroduced at the May 1994 Geneva Salon, the F355 was the standard bearer for a new generation of more technologically advanced 'small' Ferraris. Based around a robot-welded sheet steel monocoque equipped with all-round independent double-wishbone suspension, ventilated ABS disc brakes, and power assisted rack and pinion steering, it utilised a new computer-controlled electronic damper system that self-adjusted depending upon the feedback gleaned from various road speed, brake pressure, suspension loading, and steering sensors. Further enhanced by a 'ground effects' under-tray which created a welcome pressure differential at high speeds, the F355 was revealed to be seven seconds and four seconds a lap faster round Ferrari's Fiorano test track than the 348 and 512TR respectively. Cradled by a separate subframe, its longitudinally mid-mounted 'quad-cam' 3496cc V8 boasted an 11.1:1 compression ratio, F1-style titanium con-rods, forged alloy pistons, three-inlet and two-exhaust valves per cylinder (40 in total) and the latest Bosch M 2.7 engine management system. Developing an incredible 380bhp and 268lbft of torque, it drove the rear wheels via a neatly integrated transverse six-speed manual gearbox. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds, 0-100mph in 10.6 seconds and 185mph, the F355 was an undoubted supercar. Styled by Pininfarina, its retractable headlights, reversed elliptical grille, 'bullet hole' driving lights, uncluttered side air intakes, subtle engine lid spoiler and quad circular rear lights met with widespread approval. Beautifully trimmed, the model's cosseting interior came with leather upholstery, electric windows and air-conditioning as standard. Unveiled at the May 1995 Monaco Grand Prix meeting, the F355 Spider benefited from a strengthened body-shell and specially reinforced windscreen, it permitted 'wind in the hair' 180mph motoring!The classically coloured F355 Spider offered here is fitted with the popular F1 transmission and is believed to have been sold new in Japan by the well-known authorised dealership Cornes. Leaving Japan's car friendly climate, it was registered in the UK in September 2014 and has been enjoyed by just one owner in England. This beautiful and iconic Ferrari is described by the vendor as having "very good bodywork, paintwork, interior trim and engine".
Lot 2037
According to the MG Car Club's online search facility (www.tregister.org), chassis TC1370 was built on 11th September 1946. Reputedly 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 previous German ownership in 2008 before returning to the UK in 2015, TC1370 was UK registered on 1st January 2016 and is offered with various invoices for repairs since returning to Europe. Finished in Dark Green with matching green period wire wheels and double mounted spares, the MG is described by the vendor as being in 'good / very good' with regard to is bodywork and paintwork, while he rates the engine, electrical equipment, four-speed manual gearbox and 'original specification' interior as 'good'.
Lot 2039
- 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 wheelsThis 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'.
