- 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enlarging the engine to 4257cc to create the so-called 25/30, of which 1201 examples were made before the model was superseded by the Wraith in 1938.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'.

- 1 of just 502 examples made- Formerly UK registered as 'J613 SWL' and more recently resident in Spain- Full Black leather upholsteryAmong the most outrageous homologation specials ever sold to the public, the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II debuted at the 1990 Geneva Motor Show. Conceived to dethrone BMW's dominant M3 (E30) in the highly prestigious DTM series, the newcomer sported an outlandish bodykit designed by renowned aerodynamicist Professor Richard Eppler of Stuttgart University. Powered by a bespoke shorter-stroke / bigger bore version of the 2.5 litre DOHC 16-valve engine fitted to its production siblings, the 'Evo II' developed 235bhp @ 7,200rpm and 181lbft of torque @ 5,000rpm. Equipped with a Getrag five-speed manual gearbox and weighing just 1,340kg, the four-door sports saloon was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and 155mph. Suitably uprated, its all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / multi-link rear) boasted an adjustable ride height function, while the Baby Benz's ABS-backed four-wheel disc brakes and power assisted recirculating ball steering were similarly enhanced. Considerably more expensive and rarer than BMW's equivalent E30 M3 Sport Evolution, all 502 examples of the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II were apparently snapped up before the model officially went on sale! Interestingly all but two were finished in 'BlauSchwarz' blue/black metallic (the others being painted Astral Silver). Though, owners could choose between full leather upholstery and hide trim with cloth inserts. Quick out of the box, it would not be until 1992 that racing versions of the 'Evo II' finally vanquished their BMW nemeses; the top three places in that season's DTM championship being occupied by Mercedes' drivers Ludwig, Thiim and Schneider respectively. This particular example was supplied new to Germany and first registered there on 27th July 1990. Subsequently resident in both Spain and the UK, it currently wears Spanish number plates ('MA-3714-BK') but also appears on the DVLA and HPi databases (as 'J613 SWL'). A serial BMW collector who has had numerous E30 M3s over time, the vendor was nonetheless intrigued by the prospect of owning an 'Evo II' and thus acquired chassis 736047 during 2003. Said to be 'huge fun to drive', it was garaged at his Marbella holiday home for several years before being entrusted to Blue Bell Wilmslow Ltd for some light recommissioning in December 2012. Totalling £2,440.09, the work included an oil and filter change for the engine plus new water hoses, while attention was also paid to the car's brake system, central locking, exhaust and headlamps etc. Further benefiting from four new Pirelli Rosso 245/40R17 tyres in 2013, the last twelve months or so have seen the Mercedes-Benz fitted with a new radiator and battery not to mention a miles / kilometres speedometer face. Still reading in kilometres, the odometer shows a highly credible but unwarranted 72,000 / c.45,000 miles. Starting readily upon inspection and sounding decidedly purposeful, chassis 736047 is trimmed in Black leather and retains its trademark gargantuan adjustable rear spoiler, blistered wheelarches and 17-inch alloy wheels. An apparently low mileage example, but not so low that it cannot be driven as its maker intended, this highly presentable 'Evo II' offers bidders the chance to acquire one of the most unlikely cars ever to emerge from Stuttgart! Accompanying paperwork includes a Spanish Tourist Class Registration Document, HPi report and sundry bills / invoices.

- Currently displaying a credible but unwarranted 60,000 miles with paperwork dating back to 1981 at an indicated 39,913 miles- Desirable manual, home market example that appears to pleasingly retain its original engine and Beige leather upholstery- Original handbook, over 20 expired MOT certificates and a current one valid until June 2017Introduced in 1971, the Series III version of Jaguar's iconic E-Type sportscar was powered by a new super smooth 5343cc SOHC V12 engine. Further benefiting from a wider track, revised suspension geometry, power steering and uprated brakes, it proved a fitting swansong. Total RHD Coupe production amounted to 2,116 cars. Showing a credible but unwarranted 60,000 miles to its odometer, chassis 1S50550 is accompanied by paperwork dating back to 1981 at an indicated 39,913 miles. The subject of past restoration work including the refurbishment of its back axle assembly, the Jaguar looks to pleasingly retain its original 5.3 litre V12 engine and Beige leather upholstery. Passing its last MOT test on June 17th 2016, the E-Type appears to be fundamentally sound but would benefit from a bare metal repaint and sundry cosmetic tidying. A desirable manual example that the vendor has pressed into everyday service on occasion, he variously rates it as being in `average' (paintwork, interior trim), `good' (bodywork) or `very good' (engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrics) condition. Usable `as is', this seemingly low mileage, `home market', matching numbers V12 Coupe is offered for sale with original handbook, sales and service facilities book, over twenty expired MOT certificates and sundry other paperwork.

PLEASE NOTE: The vendor informs us this lot did not receive a service and new timing belt. The so-called T was the final iteration of Ferrari's mid-engined Mondial model range that was launched in 1980 and concluded in 1993, and differed markedly from its earlier siblings both inside and out. The T referred to the re-positioned drivetrain that, as per Ferrari F1 cars of the '80s, featured the engine mounted longitudinally driving through a transversely positioned transmission. This set the pattern for the marque's mid-engined V8 cars for years to come, and endowed the T with far superior handling to previous Mondials, that had their engines mounted higher up and across the frame. For ease of maintenance, the revised drivetrain was fixed to a removable subframe. Other Ferrari firsts embodied in the Mondial T included power-assisted steering, three-position electronically controlled suspension, and ABS as standard fit. Power was provided by a dry-sump V8 unit of 3.4-litres and 300bhp - sufficient to sprint the Prancing Horse to 60mph in 5.6 seconds. Production ran for just 4.5 years, during which 987 Coupe versions were created, just 54 of which featured right-hand drive and just five were finished in the Medio Blue of the sale car, making 'A11 CXD' a very rare example indeed. A notably original and unmolested right-hand drive manual gearbox example, it was supplied new to Evans Halshaw of Birmingham in August 1993. It received a documented speedometer change at 45,166 miles, and has so far completed a total of 65,492 and just been treated to a service and new timing belt. The vendor is now offering the Ferrari complete with original handbooks, service book containing 20 stamps, toolkit, over £42,000 of invoices and lots of MOTs, plus a current one free of advisories and valid into July 2017 - it confirms that this handsome Mondial has travelled little more than 2,000 miles in the last three years. A rare opportunity.

General Motors' Advance Design Series of trucks, represented the company's first post-war reshape and were claimed to be bigger, stronger and sleeker than the AK model they replaced. The newcomers quickly acquired a loyal following and were produced with only minor amendments from 1947 to 1955, during which period the Chevrolet brand topped the American truck sales charts. The left-hand drive sale vehicle has recently been brought to these shores from the dry state of California where its long term private keeper of some 10 years treated '734 UYO' to a re-paint and interior re-trim. Power comes from a 3.8-litre (231ci) petrol engine coupled to a three -speed manual gearbox and the pickup features a side mounted spare wheel with White wall tyres which are said to be all in 'good' order and has recently been treated to a new battery, starter motor, clutch kit, handbrake cables and oil change. Offered with V5C and MOT exempt if you drive a modern box and long for something more interesting - then this could be for you?!

- Supplied new by Five Oaks Garage Ltd (Official Porsche Centre for the Channel Islands) to James Hardcastle Esq. - Warranted 25,500 miles supported by 14 service stamps (main dealer and marque specialist)- Factory options include: front electric sports seats, top tinted windscreen and CD / Radio with 2 speakers to the rear cabin- Porsche Certificate of AuthenticityPerfectly-presented in the ever-popular combination of Guards Red bodywork and full Black leather trim and hood, this very attractive four-wheel drive 964 Series Cabriolet was supplied new by Five Oaks Garage Ltd (official Porsche Centre for the Channel Islands) to a Mr James Hardcastle. Three more keepers have ensued, yet the Porsche's mileage currently stands at just 25,500 miles. This figure is fully supported by the service history that comprises 14 stamps by a combination of main dealers and marque specialists. The car's comprehensive specification includes electric sports seats, top tinted windscreen and a CD/radio with rear-mounted speakers. The vendor has no hesitation in grading the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, 3.6-litre engine and five-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order, and is offering the Cabriolet complete with Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, full set of owners books, two sets of keys and an MOT valid into May next year. The perfect acquisition in readiness for Summer 2017.Penned by Benjamin Dimson, the 964 was manufactured between 1989 and 1994, when it was supplanted by the last of the air-cooled 911s, the 993. Its more integrated bumpers and other styling updates gave the newcomer a fresh appearance and it was considered by Porsche to be 85 percent new compared to the outgoing 3.2 model. It was also the first 911 to be offered with the option of Tiptronic automatic transmission, four-wheel drive, ABS brakes and power steering though, as before, there was the choice of Coupe, Targa or Cabriolet guises. The powerplant was a new naturally aspirated flat-six unit of 3.6-ltre displacement, the output of which was 248bhp at 6,100rpm. Autocar's performance figures for the manual gearbox Coupe were 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 158mph. The total number of 964s produced was 53,180, of which 4,802 were Carrera 4 Cabriolets.

PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is now registered 'A154OFX'.PLEASE NOTE: We are advised that the electric windows require attention. - Nero with Crema interior - c.24,000 miles only - Recent respray and cambelt service By switching to Bosch fuel injection in March 1981 Ferrari robbed its successful 308 GTB / GTS models of some forty horsepower. Worried about the consequent loss of performance, Maranello executive Eugenio Alzati determined to give the 90-degree 'quad-cam' 2926cc V8 its teeth back. Announced in October 1982, the new QV or 'quattrovalve' model was a revelation. Sporting - as its name suggests - four-valve cylinder heads, it was credited with developing some 240bhp and 192lbft of torque. Emissions friendly, it nevertheless boasted less noise, more power and better throttle response than its predecessor. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.7 seconds and 158mph, the QV cars once again had the raw speed to match their sublime Pininfarina sculpted looks. Finished in Nero black with crema interior, this LHD QV has been converted to euro spec lights. Registering just c.24,000 miles, recent expenditure has included a full repaint, new brakes, various engine, suspension and mechanical works, new tyres and a cambelt service. The vendor advises that receipts on file total c.£8,500. Offered with original service book and manual, spare wheel and some tools, the car will be UK registered and comes with an MoT until September 2017.

The vendor purchased this Diamond Black 850i as a project. The V12 engine has subsequently been fully overhauled by 8 Series specialist Chris Burton, during which: the heads were skimmed; valve seats and broken rocker arm replaced; and new valves, stem oil seals, timing chain and gaskets installed. Other items replaced include: plugs; leads; distributor caps; coils; lambda sensors; brake discs and pads; track rod ends; washer jets; batteries; and horn. This is a high specification 850i that features: rare six-speed manual gearbox, sunroof, climate control, six-CD autochanger, heated sports seats with memory, full Parchment-coloured leather interior and rear blind. The vendor currently grades the interior trim and engine of the BMW as 'very good', the bodywork and transmission as 'good', and the paintwork (which has a key scratch on the passenger door) as 'average'. It comes complete with thousands of pounds worth of invoices, original manuals, old tax discs and an MOT to July 31st 2017.

- Recent respray, gearbox overhaul, new carpets and seats- Photographic record of works carried out since 2015- c.10,000 miles recordedThe iconic Cobra was born when Texan Carroll Shelby shoe-horned Ford's new lightweight 260ci V8 into the nose of the John Tojeiro designed AC Ace. The resulting car was a winner from nose to tail, and in later 289ci and 427ci guise accounted for countless race and championship victories on both sides of the Atlantic. Under the circumstances it is now hard to believe that the final road-going versions were slow to find homes. Fast forward 15 years or so, however, and original Cobras were suddenly escalating in value, quickly shooting way beyond the reach of most enthusiasts for ever. Almost overnight the market for evocations was born.Amongst the most respected manufacturers of Cobra evocations, AK Sportscars was founded in 1992 by Alan Frew and Ken Freeman. This example is understood to have been completed in 2006 by an engineer and experienced kit car builder. Since entering the vendor's collection in 2015 it has been treated to a professional respray in red, the gearbox has been comprehensively overhauled, a new clutch has been fitted and new seats and carpets installed. Described as being in "excellent" condition as regards its bodywork, paintwork, engine, transmission and cream/black interior trim, it is powered by a 5.7-litre V8 driving through a five-speed manual gearbox. Registering some 10,000 miles on its odometer it is accompanied by a Swansea V5 document recording just one previous keeper and an MOT until August 2017.

- Extensively restored from 2003-2015 with numerous photos of the work- Uprated engine (fast road cam, Weber carb) and suspension (Konis, poly bushes)- Red-piped Beige leather and c.430 post-refurbishment miles, MOT'd till DecThe UK supplied MGB Roadster we offer here was restored, over an 12 year period, by a garage owner from Bilston West Midlands for his own use. The accompanying history file contains a photographic record of the restoration and numerous invoices for work and parts fitted, together with an MOT certificate that expires on December 18th 2016. The 'B' has covered something like 430 miles since completion. The specification of the car includes a tuned engine with fast road cam, a 45 DCOE Webber carburettor and fabricated extractor manifold, oil cooler with braided pipes, electronic ignition, in line fuel filter, Kenlowe thermostatically controlled engine fan, spin off oil filter and stainless steel exhaust. The suspension boasts all round Koni shock absorbers and poly bushes with a quick steering rack and chrome wire wheels. The car also sports a chrome luggage rack and lockable fuel cap. The interior has red piped beige leather trim set off by a red carpet, matching red seat belts and a new red tonneau cover and mohair hood. The car has manual transmission with overdrive on third and top gears.

- Finished in the popular colour combination of silver paint and a black leather interior- Desirable Tiptronic gearbox, grey wheels, rear spoiler, and a sunroof- 156,300 recorded miles and supplied with a quantity of maintenance invoices, previous MOT's, and paperworkThe 993 variant of Porsche's iconic 911 line was a particularly significant link in the cars's long chain of development, as it marked the end of an era that had begun forty-three years earlier with the 356, by being the last Porsche to be powered by an air-cooled engine. It was penned by Englishman Tony Hatter and mechanical updates included more power for the 3.6-litre flat six engine (272bhp) and a brand new six-speed manual gearbox. The 993 was available as a two-door Coupe or Convertible and with two or four-wheel drive, a latterly as a Targa with a sliding glass roof.The silver Carrera variant offered here is fitted with the popular Tiptronic automatic gearbox and black leather interior. A sunroof is also present and it appears to have been enjoyed by the most recent recorded keeper since February 2010. The odometer displays 156,300 miles and the vendor claims there is a "full document file with all bills and relevant paperwork, spare keys, and previous MOT certificates". They continue by describing the Porsche as having "good bodywork, engine, and interior trim", and "very good paintwork and transmission".

PLEASE NOTE: The vendor has advised us that this vehicle was restored by Bell Classic Cars in the mid 1990s. The 'Big' Healey enjoyed steady development with the four-cylinder cars giving way to the 100-Six of 1956, which was replaced by the first of the 3000s in 1959. The final iteration was the 3000 MKIII, which was launched in October 1963 and mildly upgraded (Phase 2) in May the following year. The most powerful and luxurious of all the derivatives, it had lively performance courtesy of its 150 bhp straight-six engine and featured such niceties as wind up windows and a walnut-veneer facia. 3000 production closed at the end of 1967 after 42,926 had been made, 17,712 of which were MKIIIs. 'BBD 65E' left the production line in 1966 and was immediately exported to the USA. It was repatriated in 1987 at which point the car was restored and converted from left to righthand drive. The task is believed to have involved some £12,000 worth of new parts including a new wiring harness. In 2011 'BBD 65E' received a sympathetic restoration which included the Healey being re-painted and four new wings being supplied by Bell Classic Cars. Sporting Black bodywork matched to a pleasing mix of Red and Black leather the odometer currently registers an unwarranted 24,316 miles and is viewed by the vendor as having 'excellent bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, straight-six engine and electrical equipment, and 'good' four-speed manual transmission. It is being offered complete with woodrim steering wheel, badge bar, door mirrors and a pair of period Lucas spot lamps plus an MOT certificate into May 2017. The vendor also informs us 'BBD 65E' has recently completed a trip to the Essen classic car show in Germany with 'no problems'.

- Current owners late husband acquired the car in May 1969 from the 2nd owner, and recently lightly recommissioned it after 20 years storage- Re-chromed in 1969, re-painted in 1970 and re-trimmed (by Roy Creech) in 1971, and a new cylinder head fitted in 1985- An extraordinary history file with invoices from 1937 and onwards, and just 126,400 recorded miles from newThis truly delightful Phantom comes to market for the first time in 47 years, complete with impeccable provenance that confirms it has had just three keepers from new. Chassis No.20KR was first registered on April 17, 1929, having been equipped with innovative four-door 'All-weather' coachwork by Park Ward, complete with disappearing hood and wind-up windows - the original colour was Black. No less than 116,921 of the total mileage of 126,440 was accrued by the first owner before selling the car in August 1937 - it is understood he lived in Scotland and made repeated business trips to London! A copy of the log book shows he paid £5 in order to retain the original registration plate, 'US 65', which by coincidence has remained local to the car ever since and has frequently been espied in central London on a contemporary Rolls-Royce or Bentley. The replacement registration 'CYE 790' has remained with the car to this day.The second keeper was retired engineer H Raymond Morgan, who lived in Westminster, London SW1, but retained the Rolls at his primary residence near Swanage, Dorset. The first of many invoices in the car's fascinating history file is one from The Marble Arch Car Service Depot, dated October 8, 1937 - a garage apparently recommended to him by Rolls-Royce. On October 31 1938 for the princely sum of £15 4s 1p, they refurbished the cylinder head, fitted a new rear hub bearing, and supplied and installed a selection of electrical items. There is also a copy of a cheque made out to the same firm in August 1963, that not only covered the fitting of a replacement exhaust downpipe but also a degree of garaging and fuel. Intriguing correspondence between Rolls-Royce and Mr Morgan of July 1968, reveals that in both August 1932 (with the speedometer reading 56,832 miles) and July 1935 the company fitted replacement standard-sized pistons for reasons that are not stated.The third keeper has been the now late Sydney Creamer, who purchased the Rolls for £1,250 on May 1, 1969, at which time the odometer was showing 124,442 miles. He immediately set about a progressive programme of restoration that lasted until 1973 and included: having various items of brightwork rechromed (1969); the paintwork stripped and resprayed in Land Rover Bronze Green and Black, and the rear bumper modified and the tail lights moved there from the body (1970); the purchase of six fawn hides from Connolly in readiness for reupholstering (1971); the interior fully retrimmed, the flooring recarpeted with stock purchased direct from Wilton, and a new hood installed, all courtesy of Roy Creech of Fingringhoe, Essex (1972/1973). At a later date the radiator was fully refurbished by Serck Services (1977), a replacement alloy cylinder head sourced from the USA (1985), and the exhaust system replaced (1982). The keeper's notes confirm that he obtained from Mr Morgan the original handbook with detailed instructions on starting and driving the Rolls-Royce, and bonnet mascot, plus a substantial typed record of service and maintenance from the time the car was new. All these items are included with the Phantom today.'CYE 790' was recently released from 20 years of dry storage and treated to a degree of light recommissioning. The vendor now grades the bodywork, interior trim, six-cylinder engine and four-speed manual transmission a 'very good' and the paintwork as 'good'. Though the car certainly looks remarkably pristine once more, it would clearly be prudent for the next keeper to carry out further checks before this amazingly original Rolls-Royce finally and triumphantly returns to the road.

This ruggedly handsome example of the most iconic of all WWII vehicles was reputedly delivered for use by the US forces in November 1943. It was acquired by the previous keeper (a well-known member of the MVCC) in 1990 from a Greek army surplus sale and recommissioned in time to participate in the '50 + One' Jeep celebration of 1992. The vendor currently regards 'HVS 837' as featuring 'good' Green paintwork, 2.2-litre engine and four-speed manual gearbox and electrical equipment, and 'original' bodywork. He is offering the left-hand drive Jeep complete with numerous photos, MOTs from 1992 all the way through to 2013, and the all-important: spade, folding shovel, jerry can, rifle holder, spare wheel, canvas tilt and doors, plus rear lap belts - there's even the option of a standard issue carbine rifle by separate negotiation. The mileage of this splendid WWII item of Americana currently stands at an unwarranted 6,442.

Styled by Frank Callaby, the Triumph 1800 Roadster was a flamboyant mix of 1930s styling cues and boasted what was reputedly the last dickie seat to be incorporated into a production car. Bodied in 'Birmabright' aluminium alloy over ash (save for its steel pontoon front wings), the Roadster was underpinned by a tubular ladder-frame chassis featuring independent front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 1776cc OHV four-cylinder engine (shared with the contemporary Jaguar range) allied to four-speed column-change manual transmission, the model was reputedly capable of 80mph. Superseded by a larger-engined version in 1948, just 2,501 1800 Roadsters are thought to have been made.The righthand drive example currently being sold is described by the vendors as 'sound' and is 'as original' aside of the sensible addition of an electric fuel pump. Full of charm, all 'GRK 452' needs is a willing new keeper to begin another chapter of spirited wind-in-the hair motoring.

- Highly desirable 'home market' Special Equipment model that pleasingly retains matching chassis and engine numbers- Less than 200 miles since emerging from a meticulous, show quality restoration by marque specialists XK Engineering- The nicest example we have encountered and uprated with a later four-speed manual plus overdrive gearboxThe final iteration of the XK sportscar line and the last Jaguar to carry a separate chassis, the XK150 was introduced in May 1957. While its use of independent torsion-bar front suspension, a 'live' leaf-sprung rear axle and rack-and-pinion steering mirrored the practice of its XK140 predecessor, the new model benefited from the option of all-round Dunlop disc brakes (though, in practice very few - if any - cars were delivered with drum brakes). Stylistically, the newcomer was brought up-to-date with less ostentatious curves and a larger, wrap-around single piece windscreen. The dashboard too was altered eschewing wood trim for padded leather. With the E-type still very much under development, Jaguar was keen to sustain the sporting reputation that a remarkable five Le Mans victories (1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957) had earned it. Initially powered by a 3442cc derivative of the marque's race-proven DOHC straight-six engine, the XK150 could be had in Fixed-Head Coupe, Open Two-Seater (Roadster) or Drophead Coupe guises. More expensive than the other bodystyles, the soft-top coupe boasted occasional rear seats and a fully lined hood. Ticking the 'Special Equipment' box on the order form resulted in the following upgrades: B-type cylinder head, overdrive, twin-exhaust system and wire wheels. With a claimed 210hp on tap, the 'SE' 3.4 Litre cars were reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds and 124mph. Total right-hand drive XK150 Drophead Coupe production is thought to have amounted to just 663 cars (for both 3.4 litre and 3.8 litre variants). Unsurprisingly, survivors are highly prized by collectors.Quite simply the nicest XK150 Drophead Coupe we have thus far encountered, '300 JGP' is a desirable 'home market' Special Equipment model that has only recently emerged from a two-year long restoration by marque specialists XK Engineering. A testament to the quality of the Coventry firm's work, the Jaguar was stripped to a bare chassis before being painstakingly refurbished. Thoroughly overhauled, its 'matching numbers' 3.4 litre straight-six DOHC engine (number V6989-8) was allied to a later four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission for increased drivability. The steering, suspension and four-wheel disc brakes were reconditioned too and a new wiring loom installed. Repainted in its initial Cotswold Blue livery, the 2+2-seater also gained a re-trimmed interior, new Dark Blue hood, replated brightwork and new chrome wire wheels shod with fresh tyres. The resulting machine is impressive to say the least and has covered a mere 200 miles since the completion of its meticulous, show quality restoration. Only reluctantly being offered for sale due to a change in the vendor's plans, this very special Jaguar is being further fettled by XK Engineering prior to its appearance at IWM Duxford. Worthy of close inspection, '300 JGP' is accompanied by a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, history file and numerous photographs chronicling its rejuvenation (housed on a memory stick).

- The 90th of just 93 right-hand drive Roadsters made- A 'Special Equipment' model that was exported new to Hong Kong - Treated to a meticulous 'chassis up' restoration upon entering the current ownership in 1985- Participated in the 1st and 2nd Martell Classic Car Rallies to China and has raced at Macau- Matching chassis, engine and body numbers etcLast flowering of the separate chassis XK sportscar line, the XK150 was introduced in 1957. A more sophisticated and refined design than its forebears, the newcomer benefited from the adoption of four-wheel disc brakes and a more generously proportioned cabin. Available with a variety of 3.4 litre or 3.8 litre DOHC straight-six engines (in differing states of tune), potential customers could also choose between four-speed manual or three-speed automatic gearboxes. An effortless performer (contemporary road tests recorded top speeds of 130mph upwards) the XK150 did much to cement Jaguar's reputation as Britain's foremost sportscar manufacturer. Although, the model could be ordered in standard trim, the majority of customers seem to have opted for the factory-fitted 'Special Equipment' (SE) pack which incorporated wire wheels, front spotlights, tuned B-type cylinder head and a twin exhaust system. Appearing in 1958, a year later than its Fixed Head Coupe and Drophead Coupe siblings, the Roadster did without their token back seats. Decidedly more rakish looking thanks to a repositioned scuttle (moved four inches further back) and curved door tops, it nevertheless boasted a proper hood and wind-up windows. Of the 2,267 Roadsters made, just 93 were to right-hand drive specification.According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust eCertificate, this particular example - chassis S820090 - was manufactured on July 13th 1960. Among the very last right-hand drive Roadsters to emerge from Browns Lane (production ceased at chassis 820093), it was dispatched to Jaguar distributor Gilman & Co of Hong Kong the following month. A 'Special Equipment' model complete with four-speed manual transmission, the XK150 showed very little sign of corrosion by the time it entered the current ownership in 1985; a result no doubt of the former British colony's temperate climate. Living and working in Hong Kong at the time, the vendor purchased the two-seater from marque enthusiast John Northwode Turner as a partially stripped restoration project. Drawing on local contacts, he had AEL Ltd which serviced all the rolling stock at, and on, Kai Tak airport refurbish the chassis, overhaul the original engine, re-trim the interior and renew the hood / tonneau cover. Renowned specialists Suffolk & Turley supplied the relevant trim kits, while XK Engineering of Coventry assisted with sundry new engine internals. Local engineering firm Paul Gross Ltd of Sai Kung tracked down a number of new components such as disc brakes etc. Part of the Toyota Group, Crown Motors helped rejuvenate the original body. Repainted in Old English White with Beige leather upholstery, Dark Blue mohair hood and Black tonneau cover, the two-seater also had its instruments overhauled by Vintage Restorations and a stainless steel exhaust fitted. Suitably mechanically and cosmetically refreshed, chassis S820090 participated in the first and second ever Classic Car Rallies to the People's Republic of China during 1986 and 1987 which were organised and sponsored by the Classic Car Club of Hong Kong and Martell respectively. Taking to the famous Macau Grand Prix circuit as part of these events, the XK150 was invited to contest the Supercar Race on one occasion and thus found itself dicing with modern Porsches and Ferraris (finishing 11th out of 31 entrants). A testament to Jaguar reliability, the Roadster then contested the Classic Car Race at the same meeting immediately afterwards much to the displeasure of the Circuit President!Repatriated and UK road registered for the first time some twenty-nine years ago, the XK150 now presents as an older restoration. Starting readily upon inspection and proving decidedly un-temperamental whilst we photographed it, the two-seater is understood to pleasingly retain its original chassis, body, engine and gearbox. A decidedly rare car and one deserving of another long-term custodian, 'FSV 998' is offered for sale with numerous restoration photographs and invoices, two under bonnet rally plaques and a fresh MOT certificate.

- 3 former keepers and believed but not warranted to have covered just 53,000 miles from new.- Restored to concours condition between 1999 and 2001 by its last owner. Subsequently scoring 99.54, 99.94, 99.88 and 99.73 (out of 100) in Jaguar Clubs' North America competitions.- Original livery and matching chassis, engine, gearbox and body numbers.- UK registered, MOT tested, JDHT CertificateBy 1971, Jaguar's jaw-dropping E-Type had been in production for a decade. Despite continual improvements, new emissions legislation in the all-important American market threatened to strangle the big cat's performance. Jaguar responded by giving its revered sportscar fresh claws in the shape of a 5343cc V12 developed from the stillborn XJ13 Le Mans project car. The new engine was both effortlessly powerful and eerily refined. "The turbine-like smoothness with which the engine provides a sustained shove in the back is almost uncanny, the more so when one accelerates hard in top gear without even a gearchange to interrupt one's headlong dash into the distance" (Autocar 5th July 1973). With some 272bhp and 304lbft of torque on tap, the Series III E-Type once again had 150mph in its sights. A revised wheelbase yielded better cabin space and in conjunction with wider front / rear tracks, new anti-dive front suspension geometry and fatter tyres gave improved road holding. Imbued with a more muscular stance thanks to its flared wheelarches, re-profiled wings and larger grille, the model also boasted vented disc brakes and a restyled interior. According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Certificate, this particular example is not only finished in its original livery of Silver with Dark Blue upholstery but also able to boast matching chassis, engine, manual gearbox and body numbers. Supplied new to America, the Jaguar was retained by its first owner for seven years before being sold to Dr Jack Frost who kept it in dry storage until February 1999. Thereafter, the E-Type was purchased by Chuck Stork and treated to a meticulous two-year long restoration which he documented in great detail. As well as circa 100 'before and after' photographs, the history file contains numerous invoices relating to the refurbishment and an article about the car that appeared in the Wisconsin Jaguar Newsletter during 2002. Four score sheets relating to Jaguar Clubs of North America (JCNA) concours competitions held between 2001 and 2010 show that the Roadster was awarded 99.54, 99.94, 99.88 and 99.73 points! The car's impressive concours record is the reason that marque specialist XK Engineering advised the vendor to leave it in left-hand drive Federal specification. Some fifteen years after it was completed, the two-seater's condition is a testament to the time and trouble that Mr Stork put into its rejuvenation. Starting readily upon inspection, the Jaguar has recently been checked over and UK road registered as 'EWV 395L' by XK Engineering. Displaying a highly credible but unwarranted 53,000 miles to its odometer and possessing a MOT certificate valid until August 2017, this decidedly smart E-Type V12 Roadster is worthy of close inspection.

Launched at the October 1978 Birmingham Motor Show, the Fourth Series or Oscar India V8 (Oscar India being AM factory 'shorthand' for October Introduction) boasted a re-profiled 'power bulge' bonnet, subtly integrated rear lip spoiler and GKN alloy wheels. Little changed beneath its aluminium skin, the model utilised the same independent coil-sprung front suspension, De Dion rear axle, four-wheel disc brakes and power assisted rack and pinion steering as its predecessors. Predominantly allied to three-speed Torqueflite automatic transmission, the Tadek Marek designed 5340cc DOHC V8 engine was fed via quad Weber carburettors. Thus equipped, Autocar magazine found the Oscar India to be capable of 146mph and 0-60mph in 7.2 seconds. Cementing its Grand Tourer credentials, the model featured a smart burr walnut dashboard / door cappings and could be had in Fixed-Head or Convertible guises. Total carburettor-fed V8 Volante production amounted to just 439 cars (though, the American market accounted for the vast majority). According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example - chassis 15075 - was completed on 1st May 1979 and dispatched to Reg Vardy Ltd some eight days later. Originally finished in Tourmaline Blue with Light Blue-piped Fawn leather upholstery (the same livery it pleasingly sports today), the Aston Martin's build specification also included a lockable fuel-filler cap, left-hand electric door mirror and two detachable headrests. Purchased by its previous keeper, Alan Webb Esq., from marque specialist Runnymede in 2010, the V8 Volante was subsequently entrusted to the Chiltern Aston Centre for a thorough vehicle inspection following which attention was paid to its boot floor, sills, floorpan, brake system and suspension etc. Keen to enhance his driving pleasure, Mr Webb commissioned Aston Workshop to convert 'OPT 775T' from automatic to six-speed manual transmission. Showing a credible but unwarranted 43,966 miles at the time, the occasional four-seater retains its original engine but now displays some 3,000 miles to the digital odometer which was fitted as part of the Tremec gearbox upgrade. Acquired by the vendor with service and maintenance bills from Aston Martin main dealers and specialists that apparently totalled nearly £50,000 not to mention over 150 photographs detailing work done, the car has since been treated to a re-spray in its original Tourmaline Blue and had its interior trim smartened etc. Highly presentable and mechanically well sorted, this rare right-hand drive carburettor-fed V8 Volante is offered for sale with BMIHT Certificate, original handbook, brochure, fresh MOT certificate and extensive bills / invoices dating back to the 1980s. It also comes with its original automatic transmission should a new owner wish to reinstate it.

DS 7197' was exported to the USA from new in 1910. At some point it then dwelt in Holland before being imported to the UK in 1983 by the late motor dealer Stephen Langton. The vendor acquired the Renault a few months later, so has now been its keeper for 32 years. Retaining as much originality as possible, he restored the Phaeton over a two year period, during which the rear section of the body was replaced. In 1985 it was confirmed as a 1910 build Renault Model BY by the late Anthony Ronald, the then historian for Renault FrÞres - a club for those owning pre-1940 Renault motorcars. The following year it was officially dated by the Veteran Car Club and comes complete with the resulting certificate.The Renault has been the subject of continual maintenance throughout the vendor's tenure, during which time the rear pair of artillery wheels have been refurbished, and new bearings installed in the gearbox and rear axle. A replacement radiator was fitted in 2004, while in 2006 the 4.4-litre engine was treated to a major overhaul during which new valves, cast alloy pistons and crankshaft and big end bearings were installed, the crankshaft journals cleaned up, and the unit rebored. In deference to safety and modern day usage, the Renault now features an electric starter motor and electric lights.The car is very smartly-presented and the vendor informs us that it's 'very fast and reliable and has never let him down'. He considers the engine and electrical equipment to be 'excellent' and the bodywork, Blue- paintwork, Black leather interior trim and four-speed manual transmission to all be in 'very good' condition. He is now looking for a new home for this splendid Edwardian motorcar, which comes complete with replaced parts and a history file full of paperwork and photos.

- 69,000 miles from new (an average of 2,555 per annum) and said to be exceptionally original- Special order car with numerous desirable extras including air conditioning and soft look Velvet Red leather upholstery- Unused spare wheel and associated compressor, original Blaupunkt radio cassette player, MOT'd till March 2017Developed under the watchful eye of Porsche Chief Executive Peter Schutz, the 911 Carrera 3.2 made its debut at the September 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show. Estimated to be eighty percent new, the model's 3164cc (hence '3.2') flat-six engine was credited with developing some 231bhp and 209lbft of torque. Allied to five-speed transmission, it proved both rev-happy and flexible. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and 153mph, the Carrera 3.2 was progressively developed over the course of its six-year production run and is now feted by many for being the last of the torsion-bar suspended 911s. A special order car, chassis WPOZZZ91ZKS102429 not only boasts the preferred `Sport Equipment Package' (front / rear spoliers, sport shock absorbers) but also such desirable factory-fitted options as: an extended hub steering wheel, shortened gear lever, air-conditioning, Velvet Red `soft look' leather upholstery, graduated top tinted windscreen, ultrasonic alarm and heated front seats. Supplied new by Walton Ltd of Maidstone, Kent on 10th March 1989, the 911 is understood to have covered just 69,000 miles during the intervening twenty-seven years (an average of 2,555 per annum). As a late Carrera 3.2 model, `F973 SJD' features the sought after G50 five-speed manual gearbox. Stated to show no signs whatsoever of previous accident damage, the Coupe is described by the vendor as being in `excellent' condition with regard to its bodywork, original engine, interior trim, electrics and transmission, while he considers its paintwork to be `very good'. Driven some 10,000 miles since entering the current ownership in March 2008, the 2+2-seater is accompanied by a written endorsement from Porsche specialist Norwich Premier Coachworks (www.porschenorfolk.co.uk) as to its exceptional originality, large quantity of invoices for servicing / parts, MOT certificate valid until March 2017, two keys, handbooks, Blaupunkt radio cassette player and an as yet unused spacesaver spare wheel plus associated compressor!

PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press the vendor has informed us of the following: 'McGrath Maserati prepared the Indy for its most recent MOT test during August this year and identified two faults I thought I would flag with you - a leakdown test shows leakage on the 8th cylinder and a ticking noise and one of the two engine fans has a short circuit that causes intermittent fuse failure - we have isolated it so only one fan is connected at the moment'. - 1 of just 440 examples made - Imported from Italy by Melvyn Rutter (of Morgan fame) and UK registered in 1996 - Recent cosmetic and mechanical improvements and MOT'd till August 2017 Although not officially announced until the March 1969 Geneva Salon, the Maserati Indy had appeared in prototype guise on Carrozzeria Vignale's stand at the previous season's Turin Salon. Named in honour of the marque's two great Indianapolis 500 victories (1939, 1940) the newcomer was artfully styled; its crisp lines belying a four-seater interior. Notable as the first Maserati to employ unit construction, the fastback coupe was equipped with independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, a well-located 'live' rear axle, front / rear anti-roll bars, four-wheel ventilated disc brakes and recirculating-ball steering. Initially powered by a 4136cc 'quad-cam' light alloy V8 allied to either five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, the Indy boasted a 155mph top speed. Superseded by later 4.7 and 4.9 variants, just 440 4.2 litre examples were made. Reportedly imported by Melvyn Rutter (of Morgan fame), chassis AM116*670 is understood to have benefited from a partial restoration and repaint before being UK road registered as 'EHJ 223H' on 24th July 1996. While more recent work is said to have included a top end engine overhaul, refurbished engine bay, refinished wheels and new tyres. Further treated to new seat belts front and rear last year plus attention to its air-conditioning system and petrol pumps, the Maserati sports a dealership sticker from Center Car SRL of Novi Ligure, Italy and currently displays an unwarranted 66,300km. Pleasingly retaining its original engine and MOT'd until August 2017, this handsome Maserati is variously described by the vendor as being in 'average' (V8, beige interior trim), 'good' (five-speed manual gearbox, electrics) or 'very good' (bodywork, paintwork) condition. PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press the vendor has informed us of the following: 'McGrath Maserati prepared the Indy for its most recent MOT test during August this year and identified two faults I thought I would flag with you - a leakdown test shows leakage on the 8th cylinder and a ticking noise and one of the two engine fans has a short circuit that causes intermittent fuse failure - we have isolated it so only one fan is connected at the moment'.

- Factory built and correctly registered with the DVLA as a 'Le Mans Sports Jaguar D-Type'- Based on a Jaguar XJ6 Series II donor vehicle complete with 4.2 litre engine and manual transmission- Cream upholstery, turned aluminium dashboard, independent rear suspension and side-exit exhaustOriginal examples of Jaguar's Le Mans specification C and D-Type Jaguars rarely come to market these days and, when they do, these multi-million pound vehicles are way beyond the pockets of ordinary mortals. For this reason there has for some time been a thriving market in evocations. Among the businesses involved has been David Yoxall's Le Mans Sports Car Company, which produced D-Type replicas in Westbury, Wiltshire from 1997 to c.2000. The right-hand drive example offered is understood to have been built by them courtesy of an XJ6 Series II donor car, that provided the major mechanical components including: the all-round independent suspension, rear subframe with inboard rear disc brakes, 4.2 litre straight-six XK engine and four-speed manual gearbox. Finished in Metallic Blue and trimmed in Dark-blue piped Cream-coloured upholstery, this crowd-stopping two-seater additionally features knock-off Dunlop-style alloy wheels, side exhaust, engine-turned aluminium facia, wood-rim steering wheel and a luggage locker secreted beneath the rear clam. It is correctly registered as a 'Le Mans Jaguar D-Type' as opposed to adopting the identity of the donor vehicle, has had three former keepers and been in the current ownership since 2014. The 16,000 indicated miles is presumed to represent the total to date. 'KLM 517N' is now being offered complete with a fresh MOT certificate and is deserving of a caring new home.The monocoque construction D-Types were produced by Jaguar Cars between 1954 and 1957 - records suggest a total of 18 factory versions and 53 customer ones. Between them they were victorious in the all-important Le Mans 24 Hour race in 1955, 1956 and 1957 - the first triumph falling to the Works car of Mike Hawthorn and the latter two to the Scottish team Ecurie Ecosse. The XKSS was a road version of the D-type, of which just 16 examples were made.

Estimated to be 80 percent new, the 3.2's flat-six engine was credited with developing some 231bhp and 209lb ft of torque. Allied to a five-speed manual transmission, it proved both rev-happy and flexible, making the model reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and a 153mph top speed. In order to cope with the increased performance, the brakes were enlarged and the top two gear ratios slightly raised. Examples from 1987 onwards had the stronger G50 gearbox in which reverse was located beside the first ratio. An optional 'Sport' pack became available during 1984, and included a deeper front valance, 'tea tray' rear spoiler, stiffer Bilstein dampers and 16-inch Fuchs forged alloy wheels with black centres. By now all 911s were built with galvanised bodies, so rusting was largely a thing of the past. The striking righthand drive Cabriolet now offered is finished in classic Grand Prix White complemented by White-piped Blue leather interior trim and Blue weather equipment. Being a 1989 example equipped from new with the optional Sport package, it benefits from the superior G50 five-speed manual gearbox, Turbo-style rear spoiler, 2 keys, Porsche immobiliser, desirable rear seat option and has had five former keepers, one of whom retained the Porsche for 17 years. The vendor considers all major aspects of the 911 to be either 'excellent' or 'very good' and notes that the Fuchs alloy wheels are 'in excellent condition and shod with very good tyres'. 'F886 JMR' currently indicates a relatively low 49,000 miles and is being offered complete with a substantial history file that includes: a selection of old MOTs, plus one valid to August 18 next year and fitted car cover. With snug-fitting electrically operated hoods, these 3.2 Cabriolets make eminently practical performance cars come rain or shine, and are steadily appreciating in value.

Unveiled in 1949, the Silver Dawn had the distinction of being the first Rolls-Royce to be offered with a factory-built body, which it shared (along with the chassis) with its MKVI Bentley sibling. The newcomer was initially powered by a 4257cc version of the company's straight-six engine, but this was increased to 4566 during 1951. The unit was mated to either a manual or automatic gearbox - 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 481 Silver Dawns had been manufactured by the time the model was supplanted by the Silver Cloud.This delightful Silver Dawn was delivered new by Rippon Brothers of Huddersfield to a J. Rawson of Stanningley near Leeds on March 19th 1954. These lovely Rolls-Royces do tend to suffer from corrosion, so there is considerable peace of mind to be had from knowing that a comprehensive body restoration was carried out by RS Panels of Nuneaton in 1998 at a cost of £18,211.33, during which any rot was removed, the sliding roof and radiator grille slats repaired and the whole car resprayed in Shell Grey, one of its two original colours. 'KKU 5' is well known within the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club (RREC), having attended many of the organisation's events. It is now offered complete with RREC chassis records, original owner's manual and service handbook, a Silver Dawn Parts List Volume One, photos and invoice relating to the work carried out by RS Panels, and a large collection of other invoices, old tax discs and MOT certificates. The most recent of the latter was carried out in 2015, despite the car being MOT exempt, and was granted with no advisories. The Rolls' indicated mileage currently stands at an unwarranted but perfectly plausible 93,189.

PLEASE NOTE: The V5/C Registration Document for this vehicle is currently being issued by the DVLA and is expected to arrive with us shortly. - Recent respray and wheel refurbishment  - Factory sunroof, air-conditioning and rear spoiler - c.70,000 miles Designed by Dr Ferry Porsche's eldest son, Ferdinand 'Butzi' Porsche, and the company's joint founder and chief body engineer Erwin Komenda, the 911 was initially powered by a dry-sump, air-cooled, 2-litre, flat-six engine which was overhung at the rear and allied to a five-speed manual transmission. In 1968, the 911's wheelbase was increased by 57mm, and the rear overhang reduced by the same amount. Engine capacity increased in stages over the years to 2.2, 2.4 and, by 1973, 2.7 litres. As fitted to the 911S this developed 175bhp at 5,800rpm - an output reputedly sufficient for 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds and 142mph. This matching numbers LHD example registers just c.70,000 miles and has recently been treated to a quality repaint together with refurbishment of the cookie cutter wheels. Routine servicing and various mechanical works have also been attended to. The car benefits from the desirable options of a factory sunroof, air-conditioning and rear spoiler, and is described as having "excellent" bodywork, paintwork, transmission and grey leather interior with "very good" engine and electrics. The vendor advises it retains its original floorpans, has "never been welded" and is accompanied by a comprehensive Porsche history from 12,000 miles, over £7,000 of receipts for recent expenditure, Swansea V5 document and MoT to September 2017.

- 1 of just 12 AM90 chassis bodied to this design by Offord and the sole known survivor- Extensively restored during the current nine-year ownership with much work done by recognised marque specialists: Arthur Archer, Fopp d'Hane and Ian Polson- Large history file and enjoyed on numerous Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq Register rallies to Ireland, throughout England and other club events in France"The 1930 Le Mans race is often remembered for the struggle in which one Mercedes defeated the Blower Bentleys but was itself vanquished by the 6¢s, whereas the most telling, and also the most significant performance, historically, came from the brace of Talbot 90s which finished third and fourth, ahead of all but two Speed Sixes. Using a plain unsupercharged production engine of only 2? litres, with pushrod overhead valves, not overhead camshaft, and fitted with a single carburettor, they beat every Bentley below 6¢ litres, together with the 38/250 Mercedes, Earl Howe's supercharged twin-cam Alfa Romeo and a 5-litre Stutz. Somewhat naturally they won the Indice de Performance. The great Charles Faroux called their performance stupefiant, and he was right. Not only were the two Talbots tremendously fast and reliable, they were practically silent as well, making no more fuss than a rolled umbrella" (D.B. Tubbs, `The Talbots 14/45 - 110' Profile Publications).Capitalising on the success of the Fox & Nicholl Team Cars at Le Mans, Talbot are understood to have built some 216 examples of the 90. Available with a choice of wheelbase lengths, the model was underpinned by a substantial ladder frame chassis featuring all-round leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Developing up to 93bhp, its advanced 2276cc straight-six OHV engine was allied to four-speed manual transmission (though, later versions could be had with a four-speed pre-selector gearbox). Potential buyers could choose from a range of factory bodystyles or employ the services of an independent coachbuilder. Regardless of the coachwork worn, most 90s were capable of the 90mph top speed that their name implied. An understandably popular choice with sporting motorists, the Talbot enjoyed continued competition success as a privateer entry at events such as the Irish GP, Ards TT and Brooklands thanks to the efforts of Bill Esplen ('GN 5872') and the Burt brothers ('GO 1568') etc.A genuine AM90 Speed Model, 'GP 6096' is understood to be one of just twelve such chassis to be fitted with Close Coupled Drophead Coupe coachwork by Offord and indeed the sole known survivor (although, a very similar car which was built under sub-contract by Carlton still exists). According to its copy factory build record, chassis 30000 was erected on 1st January 1931 and as such is accepted by the Vintage Sports Car Club as being of Vintage manufacture (which in turn allows it to run with other pre-1931 machinery in VSCC events). The AM90 is accompanied by a very large and interesting history file which chronicles the last six decades of its life. Thought to have belonged to Mr D. English during the mid-1950s, other keepers have included Mr Williamson, Mr John Gray, Mr Brian Fidler, Mr Peter Theobald, Mr Peter Sutcliffe, Mr Gillie Andrew, Mr Tim Wadeson, Mr Michael Manning and, since 2007, the vendor. Mr Gray was the Sunbeam Talbot Darracq Register's secretary and there is a photo on file of him showing none other than Georges Roesch over 'GP 6096' (the 90 engine was reputedly Roesch's favourite among all those he designed for Talbot). Mr Theobald took the Close Coupled Drophead Coupe to Rhodesia in 1968 and thereafter it relocated to South Africa. Mr Sutcliffe used the four-seater for a long distance rally during his brief tenure (1977-1978) and Mr Wadeson finally repatriated the AM90 to the UK in the early 2000s. Substantially improved during the seller's custodianship, chassis 30000 has benefited from a thorough engine overhaul (reground crankshaft with shell bearings, Arrow rods, new pistons, new timing gears and new oil pump gears etc) plus the installation of a down draught carburettor, freeflow exhaust and new dynastart bearings (the unit having been otherwise rejuvenated for a previous keeper) all of which was carried out by marque specialists Arthur Archer and Foppe d'Hane. Further boasting a 'New Zealand' cartridge oil filter conversion, solid state voltage regulator, correct complete new 'wet' radiator and halogen headlights, the Talbot was entrusted to marque specialist Ian Polson for a back axle refurbishment and new petrol tank. Foppe d'Hane restored the wooden body support frame as necessary before the coachwork was treated to a bare metal respray in Dark Blue. Re-upholstered in contrasting Light Blue, the interior is protected by a new Black double duck hood. Riding on fresh tyres, this rare and potent Roesch Talbot is only being offered for sale because a shoulder injury makes its right-hand manual gearchange awkward for the vendor. A delightful and seemingly very well sorted motorcar, it has conveyed him on numerous STD Register Tours around the UK and to Ireland and France etc. Offered for sale with the aforementioned history file, bills substantiating the work undertaken and an original first edition handbook and spares list, 'GP 6096' is summed up as 'a very rare and very usable car with wind-up windows and relaxed cruising ability'.

Introduced at the October 1967 Motor Show, the DBS broke important new ground for Aston Martin. Although similar to that of the concurrent DB6, its steel platform chassis used a longer wheelbase, repositioned front crossmember and wider track to arrive at perfect 50:50 weight distribution. Further enhanced by the adoption of de Dion rear suspension located via a Watt linkage and with standardised power steering, the newcomer was widely praised for its polished ride and handling. Styled in-house by William Towns, with clear transatlantic and Italianate overtones, the aluminium-bodied four-seater exuded a road presence that few rivals caught in its quad headlights could match. Although intended to be the first V8-powered Aston, a series of teething troubles with the new powerplant meant that the DBS went into production with the proven Tadek Marek-designed 3995cc DOHC straight-six. Credited with developing 282bhp and 288lbft (or 325bhp and 290lbft in Vantage tune wearing three Webers), this legendary powerplant was allied to either five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. Reputedly capable of over 140mph, the DBS was phased out in 1972 by which time just 787 are thought to have been made.A star of the small screen, chassis DBS/5436/RAC famously had an entire episode of Channel 4's popular TV series 'For the Love of Cars' dedicated to it. Overseen by Ant Anstead and his team at Evanta Motors, the restoration was completed within an almost impossibly tight timeframe. Stripped of its mismatched red and white paint, 'JRA 615H' underwent various chassis and bodywork repairs on a jig before being resprayed in Aston Martin Olive Green Metallic (the same hue sported by James Bond's DBS in the film 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service). Re-trimmed in contrasting Ox Blood Red leather upholstery, the interior also gained a refurbished dashboard, refinished wood rim steering wheel and new carpets. Entrusted to renowned marque specialist RS Williams, the original DOHC straight-six engine was enlarged to 4.2 litres and uprated to Vantage specification with triple Weber carburettors. To make better use of the increased power and torque on tap, the decision was made to convert the Aston Martin from automatic to Tremec T5 manual transmission. Other enhancements included the fitment of new MWS 15-inch wire wheels shod with Pirelli Cinturato tyres, Koni rear shock absorbers and higher performance brake pads. Like many of us who watched the programme, the vendor took quite a shine to the reborn 'JRA 615H' and paid some £173,400 to acquire it in January 2015. Although the DBS looked stunning, he felt that a marque specialist with proven experience of the model could improve it still further and so instructed Oselli to work their magic. Some £78,000 later, the Aston Martin has been debugged and fine-tuned to the seller's satisfaction! Now every bit as good as it looks, this famous Aston Martin is offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document, MOT certificate valid until August 2017 and history file.

- 1 of just 843 RHD examples made and supplied new by Henlys of London- Treated to an extensive, photographically documented 'chassis up' restoration by long-term custodian Martin Sambrook during the early 1990s- Matching chassis and engine numbers, overdrive from new and more recently enhanced with EZ power steering and seatbeltsLaunched at the 1954 Motor Show, the XK140 boasted the same bewitching styling as its forebear but allied it to a host of mechanical improvements. Chief among these was the adoption of rack and pinion steering. Though, the fitment of telescopic shock absorbers (in place of the XK120's antiquated lever arm dampers) also had a noticeably beneficial effect on handling / roadholding. With its engine and bulkhead repositioned three inches further forward, the new model enjoyed a notably roomier cabin (the fixed and drophead coupe variants gaining occasional rear seats as a result). Available in 'standard', 'special equipment' or 'special equipment plus C-type cylinder head' guises, power and torque outputs ranged from a quoted 190bhp/210lbft to 210bhp/213lbft. Distinguished by its one-piece bumpers and simpler, more imposing radiator grille, the XK140 was among the fastest cars of its generation. Reputedly capable of over 130mph, it focused public consciousness on Jaguar's continued success at Le Mans (the Coventry marque winning the endurance classic in 1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957).According to its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis 804750DN was supplied new via Henlys of London. Road registered as `NBL 232' on 6th September 1956 by Berkshire County Council, a photocopied logbook on file indicates that the Jaguar had relocated to Buckinghamshire some six years later. Belonging to Barry A. Tanner Esq at the time, the XK140 subsequently passed to long-term custodian Martin Sambrook Esq. who treated it to an extensive, photographically documented `chassis up' restoration during the early 1990s. Purchased by the late C.J. Trigwell Esq from John Parker Esq of Fordingbridge on 14th May 2007 for £50,000, the Fixed Head Coupe appears to have been well looked after ever since and shows just two former keepers on its V5C Registration Document. More than twenty years after its refurbishment was completed the Jaguar now has some cosmetic flaws. However, the overall impression is of a presentable motor car that the late Mr Trigwell's executors variously rate as being in `very good' (engine, paintwork) or `excellent' (bodywork, electrics, four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, interior trim) condition. Invoices on file from marque specialist Twyford Moors show that Mr Trigwell had the XK140 fitted with EZ electric power steering and seatbelts to enhance its usability in modern traffic. One of just 843 right-hand drive examples made, this desirable `home market' Fixed Head Coupe also looks to pleasingly retain its original engine.

This delightful 1928 Roadster appears to have spent most or all of its life in Australia before being repatriated and then UK registered in July 2007. The known history of this lovely vintage Vauxhall begins with a George Batten of Muwillumbah, New South Wales. It subsequently dwelt with a Ray Jurd in Redland Bay, Queensland, before being discovered in a Brisbane garage workshop in need of comprehensive restoration. Trevor Poulsen initially felt the task was beyond his ability, but later succumbed to the challenge and set to work in 1986 in concert with the garage's Bill Cardno.The project was apparently completed before the Vauxhall arrived on these shores but, pretty much as soon as he acquired the vehicle in 2009, the vendor set about further improving 'BF 4431', and has invested £20,000 in the last six years to achieve its current very smart level of presentation. During 2009/2010, the bodywork was fully stripped and repainted in two-tone Grey, the engine thoroughly overhauled, and new clutch and starter installed. He now classes the bodywork, paintwork, Grey leather interior, six-cylinder engine and four-speed manual transmission as all being in 'very good' condition. The Roadster wears a Holden two-seater fastback body complete with dickey, and is similar to those found on Chevrolets and Pontiacs of the same era. It is believed the car is one of only three such 20/60s still in existence and the vendor is now offering it complete with V5C and Dating Certificate courtesy of The Society of Automotive Historians in Britain.The 20/60 model was launched in 1928 and remained on sale until 1930. It was the biggest car the company had offered since the General Motors takeover of 1925, and was intended to appeal to customers needing more power and accommodation than was currently available from the Vauxhall stable.

PLEASE NOTE: This lot is not offered with the flying lady mascot as pictured however does include a town cap. 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 hp. 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 hp. 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 right-hand 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'. This charming 25/30 is finished in silver matched to a red leather interior and features Park Ward limousine coach work to body number 4225. Supplied new to a Mr Ralph Clifford Lynn esq. who was a comedy actor from Manchester best remembered for playing comedy parts in the Aldwych farces, first on stage and then in film. Featuring a central division and fold out picnic tables, 'GGN 27' had resided in the USA for a long period before recently retuning to the UK. Having previously been UK registered as 'DLT 428' the Rolls Royce is offered with a copy of the US title, bill of sale and offers the opportunity to acquire an attractive Rolls Royce with an interesting history.

- Believed to be an original RHD car sold new in South Africa, and enjoyed by just one owner there until their passing- Apparently bequeathed to his niece in Australia, the car was taken to that country and then traded for an MG- Acquired in Australia by our vendor, he imported it into England in 2014 but sadly illness now dictates its saleThe Healey 100/4 was designed by Donald Healey's eponymous company, and assembled by Austin at Longbridge using Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and bodies crafted by Jensen Motors. It had been the star of the 1952 London Motorshow and subsequently took the American market by storm too. For 1956, the wheelbase was lengthened, the bodywork facelifted and the four-cylinder engine replaced by BMC's six-cylinder C Series engine. Called the 100/6, it was initially available in 2+2 guise (BN4), with the two-seater (BN6) version like the sale car following in 1957.Echoing the BMC rally cars, '465 UYN' is smartly presented with White factory hardtop and Red bodywork. Its interior though is rather smarter than that of the spartan competition machines and features Red-piped Black vinyl bucket seats, Red-edged Black carpets and wood-rimmed alloy steering wheel. A right-hand drive example, it was apparently a CKD model sold new in South Africa during 1957, where it remained in the same ownership until the gentleman passed away, at which point it was inherited by his niece. She took it to Australia, where it was exchanged for a V8-engined MG. The vendor acquired the car in Australia and repatriated it in the December of 2014. Sadly, illness means he can no longer enjoy the Healey and he's now offering this very attractive car, complete with the bumpers and hood frame not currently fitted. In addition to the aforementioned extras, the Healey sports a pair of Lucas auxiliary lights, period driver's door mirror and rides on a set of chrome wire wheels. The vendor presently classifies its bodywork, interior trim and electrical equipment as 'excellent', the straight-six engine and paintwork as 'good to very good', and the four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive as 'good'. The odometer currently displays an unwarranted 37,166. An apparently very tidy example of a fast-appreciating British classic.

Interest in 'microcars' has been on the rise for some time, of which many view the tandem seat Messerschmitts as the cream of the crop. This delightful KR200 hails from 1959 and is described by the vendor as a 'very original' example which includes its original floor mat, petrol cap and correct type AA badge. The streamlined aircraft-style body is finished in the eye-catching combination of light blue and the interior trimmed in a complementary shade of red. Subject to a sympathetic restoration which has included the engine and gearbox being overhauled plus new Perspex dome and being repainted in Cellulose '332 GJO' displays a credible 13,040 miles due to being dry stored for a long period of time. Offered with V5C, original engine guarantee card, owner's manual and a collection of old tax discs the vendor currently grades the Messerschmitt in regards to the bodywork, paintwork, engine, transmission as all being in 'Very good' order and the interior trim as 'original'.

Initially, the B was only available in Roadster form - the hatchback GT derivative not being offered until 1965. At launch, the model was powered by a three-bearing version of the 1798cc B-Series engine that produced 95bhp at 5,400rpm. However, with an eye on superior reliability, this unit was replaced by a five-bearing one two years into production. By the time the Roadster line was closed in 1980, a total of 399,070 are said to have been produced; a large proportion of which are still providing good service today The UK supplied MGB Roadster on offer is believed to have received an extensive restoration in c.2000 by a previous long term keeper. It's also understood to have a 1950cc engine with gas flowed head, power max pistons, fast road cam, stainless steel exhaust system, Tufrided crankshaft, DCOE 45 weber carburettor, Banjo back axle and 4 speed manual gearbox with Laycock overdrive on 3rd and 4th. Riding on wire wheels with Pirelli P2000 tyres and with a Motolite steering wheel the MG is offered with an MOT certificate into May 2017 plus V5C and displays a credible 79,800 miles.

Following its replacement of the MGA in 1962, the MGB was steadily updated during its 18-year reign. However, the biggest visual change in the car's history occurred in 1974, when steel reinforced rubber bumpers replaced the chrome ones and the ride height was raised by one inch. By the time Roadster production ceased in October 1980, a total of 399,070 are said to have been produced.First registered on 10th August 1972, 'HJH139L' was the subject of a V8 conversion by Cox & Perry in 2002. Treated to a full re-spray and service in 2016, the vendor variously classes the bodywork and paintwork as 'excellent' and the engine, electrical equipment, five-speed manual gearbox and interior trim as 'very good'. The Roadster is offered complete with service history and MOT to June 2017.
