Late Period, Ca. 664-332 BC.Crafted from light faience, the ushabti with a mummiform style, stands atop a diminutive and level base. With a gesture denoting reverence, the hands of this remarkable artifact are gracefully interlocked upon the chest, firmly grasping the symbolic implements associated with the afterlife. Noteworthy is the intricately fashioned head, featuring a meticulously detailed wig, an ornate false beard, and a compelling procession of hieroglyphs adorning the frontal plane. In contrast, the posterior surface remains unembellished, presenting a flat and unadorned aspect. Ushabtis, derived from the ancient Egyptian term "swabty," meaning "answerer," represent diminutive funerary figurines that occupy a pivotal role within the burial customs and spiritual beliefs of ancient Egypt. Typically found in considerable numbers within tombs, these ushabtis were intended to serve the deceased in the realms beyond, fulfilling a myriad of duties and responsibilities on their behalf. Ascribed with the ability to spring to life and engage in manual labor and tasks, they were entrusted with assisting the departed in the afterlife. Size: L:123mm / W:35mm ; 70g Provenance: Private London collection, ex. B. Kickx and J. Peeters collections, pre 1978, Belgium.

Late Period, Ca. 664-332 BC.A light faience ushabti. This mummiform figurine stands atop a diminutive, level base, with its hands gracefully crossed at the chest, firmly grasping the symbolic tools of the afterlife. The head of the ushabti exhibits intricate details, including a meticulously fashioned wig, and a distinguished false beard. An ornate column of hieroglyphs gracefully runs along the front. Notably, the reverse side of the ushabti remains unadorned, characterized by its unworked, flat surface. Ushabtis, a term derived from the ancient Egyptian word "swabty" meaning "answerer," were miniature funerary figurines intricately crafted to serve their deceased owners in the realm of the afterlife. These figurines were commonly placed within tombs, often in large numbers, as part of burial practices and beliefs in ancient Egypt. It was believed that ushabtis would magically come to life and perform manual labor and tasks in the place of the deceased in the afterworld. The intricate detail and symbolic elements present on this particular ushabti illustrate the importance placed on the provision of companionship and assistance to the deceased in their eternal journey. Size: L:125mm / W:38mm ; 70g Provenance: Private London collection, ex. B. Kickx and J. Peeters collections, pre 1978, Belgium.

1973 Jaguar XJ6 Series I (4.2 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:26128Launched in September 1968, the Jaguar XJ6 was the final model that Sir William Lyons had a, hands-on, input into the design. This new model was the result of several years of development and streamlined the extensive portfolio of models offered by Jaguar at the time. This new, reasonably priced car, managed to retain the principles of earlier Jaguars but offered a new level of driveability and safety. It created such a desire that second-hand models were achieving higher prices than new cars on dealership forecourts, such was the demand. These early models have outstanding ability and are considered by many enthusiasts as the purist form of Sir William Lyons' design.This example is no exception, in the most desirable configuration of short wheelbase, with a manual overdrive gearbox. The British Racing Green paintwork presents well and the brightwork has an equally good shine. Moving inside, the green interior also presents very well and gives the impression that the odometer reading of just over 26,000 miles, may be correct. There is evidence of £1,981 worth of work carried out in 2020, which appears to have mainly been a thorough recommission following a long stint in storage.Smart early XJ6's are becoming increasingly difficult to find, this example appears to be very original and with its manual gearbox, it is a true super saloon of the 70's. Presents in possibly the best colour combination and specification, this might just be the XJ6 you have been searching for.
Lot 102
2005 Mercedes-Benz C320 Elegance Transmission: automaticMileage:51200The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a compact executive car that was introduced in 1993 as a replacement for the hugely successful 190 range. The C-Class was the smallest car in the range until the A-Class was launched. The second-generation C-Class was introduced in March 2000 and production began on 18th July 2000. The saloon debuted with a range of inline-four and V6 petrol engines and inline-four and five diesels, later W203's received the V6 diesel. Most of the engines were carried over from the W202, the diesels now featured common rail direct fuel injection and variable geometry turbochargers. A six-speed manual gearbox was optional on some of the range. This C320 Elegance is finished in silver and presents well. These are exceedingly reliable cars from the German manufacture and as such, have a reputation for being a great workhorse. Supplied with a V5C registration document together with a fresh MoT test certificate valid until 5th June 2024. This Mercedes-Benz has covered the modest mileage of just over 51,000 and is offered for sale without reserve.
Lot 206
1971 MG B Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:13380The MGB is a classic British sports car manufactured in numbers to cater for the insatiable appetite for open top motoring in the 1960s and 1970s. Built with rugged mechanics and powered by the un-burstable, all-iron BMC B-Series, 1800cc engine, the MGB was of lightweight monocoque construction and incorporated crumple zones designed to protect the occupants.Originally registered 1st April 1971, this well-presented example is resplendent in red coachwork over a cognac leather interior with a superb walnut dashboard. Treated to an extensive body-off restoration some years ago which included repair and restoration of the chassis, a full respray to the bodywork, an extensive engine rebuild and a new interior. Various other works were also completed which included many mechanical parts being renewed and restored as well as new chrome wire wheels being fitted. A mohair hood is also fitted to this MGB which is in very good condition, important for the UK summer months! The general condition of this MG is very good, the coachwork and brightwork are all in very good condition only showing a few minor age-related blemishes, as to the interior and engine bay. Reported by the vendor to run and drive very well indeed, this MG fires up when asked and has recently completed a trip from the Cotswolds to our storage facility in Iver, with no issues to report.Offered with a sizeable history file including many invoices detailing the restoration, various sundry bills and invoices, old tax discs and MoT test certificates, and its current V5C registration document. MGs are well supported by several specialists resulting in a motor car that is, not only straight forward to maintain but also great fun to drive. If you are looking for a well sorted example this is surely top of the list.
Lot 237
1968 Ford Cortina Mk. II 1600GT Crayford Transmission: manualMileage:94387The second incarnation of the Cortina was designed by Roy Haynes and launched on 18th October 1966, four years after the original Cortina. Although the launch was accompanied by the slogan 'New Cortina is more Cortina'. Improvements included a better turning circle, softer suspension, self-adjusting brakes and clutch, together with the availability on the smaller-engined models, of a new five-bearing, 1300cc engine. A month later, in August, the 1300 received a new crossflow cylinder head design making it more efficient, while a crossflow 1600 replaced the 1500. The Cortina was Britain's most popular new car in 1967, achieving the goal that Ford had been trying to achieve since it set out to create the original Cortina back in 1962. Period reviews were favourable concerning both the styling and performance. Again, two-door and four-door saloons were offered with base, Deluxe, Super, GT and, later, 1600E trims available.This example is a very special car indeed, it is one of the original Crayford convertibles, and is a hugely desirable 1600GT model. Our vendor purchased the car when she was just 18 years old in 2008, then set about a very thorough rotisserie restoration process, which ended up taking around eight years in total, the total cost being around £13,000. The starting point was a very solid rust-free car, which had been prepared ready for paint, then left in a barn for a few years. The decision was made to paint the car in this lovely Cherry Red, which suits the car very well. The car was painted back in 2008, and it was clearly done to a very good standard because it is holding up very well some fifteen years later. The seats were re-trimmed in black vinyl with red piping in 2017 and the roof was also fitted at the same time, the roof fits extremely well, without sagging. This Cortina presents absolutely beautifully throughout and would be ready to grace the showgrounds right away. It has been in current ownership for fifteen years and will be greatly missed. Only around 400 Mk. II Crayford Cortina's were built, with only 102 Mk. II Cortina 1600GT's currently registered in the UK (including standard hardtop saloon's), it is safe to say you are very unlikely to see another one at your local shows.
Lot 119
1982 Lancia Montecarlo Transmission: manualMileage:52225The Lancia Beta Montecarlo is a mid-engined sports car which was produced from 1975 through to 1982. Cars from 1975 to 1978 were known as a Lancia Beta Montecarlo and the latter cars produced from 1979 to 1982, were simply known as Lancia Montecarlo. Both series were offered in coupé and spider versions and were constructed by Pininfarina. The total production amounted to 3,835 first series Beta Montecarlo's and 1,940 second series, of which only 172 cars were right hand drive coupés.This particular example presents in fantastic, largely original condition. The vendor had the aim to sympathetically refresh the car, retaining as much of the original paint as possible. The car had some repairs to the sills and outer door skins earlier in its life but on the whole, our vendor was so impressed with the condition of the car when he saw it, he decided to buy it. The interior also presents in fantastic condition, showing it has clearly been in the hands of enthusiasts for its whole 41 years and 52,000 miles.Our vendor has spent a reasonable amount of money on the car whilst in his ownership, the largest invoice coming from Freelance Motors in Devon in 2018. The work carried out came to a total cost of £1,945.48, for work consisting of a Guy Croft racing exhaust, which gives a lovely tone without being too shouty. Other work included a wheel alignment, big end shells, sump replacement, front and rear springs, suspension poly-bushing, front shock absorber, a thorough service and various gaskets and mountings. The car has also been cared for by Darren Cooksey, who is hugely knowledgeable on Lancia Montecarlo's. He did a timing belt change, fuel pump change and recent carburettor rebuild, along with various other small jobs. This Montecarlo is an excellent example, which our vendor has enjoyed using regularly in the summer months and sometimes even uses it to commute to work. He reports the car is always a joy to drive.
Lot 196
1968 MG C GT Transmission: manualMileage:54820The MGC was the first 'high performance' version of the MGB platform, as had been the plan from early in the design stages of the MGB. A range of 'V' engines were tested but did not make it to production. The MGC was very much more than just a tuned MGB and in fact was a completely re-engineered car, although still retaining many visual connections to the MGB. On the outside, the MGC was often mistaken for an MGB, as the only visual differences were in the heavily bulged bonnet with a transverse chrome strip that accentuated the bulges and the standard use of 15" wheels instead of 14" on the MGB. Inside, there were few differences between the B and C, other than the 140mph speedo and tacho with a yellow and red banding set against lower rpms than the MGB. Under the skin however, the differences became obvious with most changes up front. The engine was a BMC C-Series six-cylinder 2912cc development of that used in the Austin Healey 3000 and Austin Westminster. This required a new torsion bar front suspension along with uprated braking. The gearbox was also a new stronger all synchromesh unit with optional overdrive. Only produced between 1967 and 1969, the MGC GT is a rare car with only 2,034 right hand drive models being built and far fewer remaining.This particular example is presented beautifully in the ever popular, Primrose Yellow with a black vinyl interior, which is also in great shape. The cars biggest party piece is the addition of power steering, something which really transforms the driving experience on a day-to-day basis in a classic car, and an upgrade which comes at great expense. The car comes with a raft of invoices for various consumables and jobs over the years. If you are looking for a 60's GT car to use right away, or even a useable classic to dodge the ULEZ zone, then look no further.
Lot 106
1977 Land Rover 88" Transmission: manualMileage:39835The 1977 Land Rover 88 holds a special place in the hearts of off-road enthusiasts and adventurers. This iconic 4x4 vehicle is known for its ruggedness and reliability. With its compact size and short wheelbase, the 88 model is highly maneuverable, making it perfect for conquering challenging terrains. Powered by a robust engine, it delivers impressive torque and traction. The simplistic yet functional design of the Land Rover 88 is world famous. Whether traversing rocky landscapes or navigating muddy trails, the 1977 Land Rover 88 is a symbol of adventure and exploration.This pleasant and practical example presents well in the classic colour of Land Rover Atlantic Green and was registered in February 1977. This classic 4x4 has benefitted from an impressive list of works that includes the fitting of a galvanized chassis and bulkhead, a five-speed LT77 gearbox and transfer box, a new radiator, extended shock absorbers, parabolic springs, a new rear door, a new windscreen and all-round disc brakes. On a recent drive this Land Rover fired-up first time and was a joy to drive having been fitted with power steering and running on BF Goodrich tyres. The seats have been modified to accommodate a taller driver and the rear is fitted with inward facing bench seats. Presented to auction with a V5C registration certificate and a comprehensive file detailing all works undertaken this ever popular model is offered without reserve.
Lot 208
2005 Ford GT Transmission: manualMileage:6507The 'new generation' GT was developed by Ford's Special Vehicle Team Engineering department under the direction of John Coletti and Fred Goodnow. The prototype was released in 2002 in anticipations of Ford's 100th anniversary celebrations, with production commencing in late 2004. The composite body panels are unstressed, as on the original GT40 of the 1960's, but instead of the monocoque chassis construction used in the 1960s, SVT Engineering developed an all-new lightweight aluminium spaceframe combining extruded sections and panels. Doubling as fuel reservoirs, a pair of massive sills contributed much to the original's chassis stiffness, whereas the new 'GT40' relies on a centre-tunnel 'backbone' that greatly improves ease of entry and exit. The suspension design is an advance on the original's, consisting of unequal-length control arms and a pushrod/bell-crank system acting on horizontally mounted coil spring/damper units. Braking is handled by six-piston Alcon calipers with cross-drilled and ventilated discs all round.In defeating Ferrari's more highly stressed V12s, Ford proved that the traditional American V8 possessed all that was necessary to compete at the cutting edge of international endurance racing. A far cry from the simple pushrod units of the 1960s, the Ford GT's supercharged MOD 5.4 litre V8 produces 550bhp at 6,500rpm and 500lb/ft of torque at 3,750 revs; figures on a par with those of the 7.0 litre engine that won at Le Mans in 1966 and 1967. The six-speed all-synchromesh manual gearbox/transaxle uses ZF internals and was sourced from RBT Transmissions. The interior features leather upholstered Recaro bucket seats with aluminium ventilation grommets embedded into the panels. The instrument layout follows the original's, comprising analogue gauges and a large tachometer complemented by modern versions of the traditional toggle switches.Back in 1966, the Ford GT40 endurance racer became the first car to exceed 200mph along the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans. Matching that would be some achievement for the production road car, even allowing for nearly 40 years of technological progress... Tested for Motor Trend magazine by Indycar racing legend Bryan Herta, the Ford GT duly topped 200mph at Ford's Kingman test facility in Arizona, emphatically demonstrating that it was indeed worthy of that famous name. The GT also has stunning acceleration, sprinting from 0-60mph in approximately 3.8 seconds.This stunning Ford GT was purchased and imported by the current owner from the USA at the end of 2004. It is the first Ford GT to be registered in the UK which was completed in January 2005. Since 2005, this excellent example has only covered 6,500 miles from new and has had twelve services, the last was carried out in May 2023. It has also been MoT'd every year since 2008 with the exception of 2021 when the MoT stations were closed. Finished in black with black interior, this is one of the few Ford GT's which was supplied without stripes and decals which in our opinion makes the car look even more striking and powerful. This GT is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in May 2024 and a file contain invoices from Mountune, GT101 and RJB Autokraft for the services carried out. This Ford GT is a legendary supercar that pays homage to the iconic Ford GT40, which dominated endurance racing in the 1960s. With its breath-taking design and blistering performance, the Ford GT has captured the hearts of automotive enthusiasts worldwide.

1996 Ford Escort RS2000 Transmission: manualMileage:94459The Mk. V Escort RS2000 was launched in November 1990. Ford had big plans for this to be a worthy successor to the Mk. I and Mk. II Escorts, launching the RS2000 into its own one make motorsport series. The events covered rally stages and race circuits around the UK but lack of commitment from Ford brought the series to a close after two years of running. It was proven over time that the RS2000²s all new I4 engine was a hard package to tune, works cars had engines developed by Mountune Race engines in Essex, UK. The last development of the Mk. V/VI RS2000 was the Escort Kit car for Formula 2 rally championships where is won the FIA F2 British rally championship in 1996. As a road car the Mk. V/VI RS2000 has proven itself to many owners to be a fantastic package and very underrated a future classic in the making with true motorsport pedigree.This 1995 three door manual RS2000 is described as original and unmolested but for a stainless steel exhaust used purely as the originals are no longer available. Presented in white with velour trim and bucket seats it presents very well indeed. Owned and cherished by numerous RSOC members, the car is in lovely condition throughout. A two-wheel drive example, this car is also described as rust free, those who fondly remember the 90's Escorts will testify to the fact this is quite a find and the recent 12 months MoT test certificate backs up this statement. The car boasts just six previous keepers, 150bhp and a top speed of 129mph combined with a 0-60 time of 8.2 seconds.

1971 Range Rover Suffix A Transmission: manualMileage:52752Although now responsible for a whole lifestyle movement, the Range Rover had more humble beginnings. The first-generation Range Rover was introduced in 1970 and was not designed as a luxury 4x4; whilst certainly up-market compared to preceding Land Rover models, the early Range Rovers had fairly basic, utilitarian interiors with vinyl seats and plastic dashboards that were designed to be washed down with a hose. Convenience features such as power assisted steering, carpeted floors, air conditioning, cloth or leather seats and wooden interior trim were fitted later in the production run or as options. Marketed as 'A Car For All Reasons', the Range Rover was more capable off-road than the Land Rover but was much more comfortable, offering a top speed in excess of 100mph.First registered on 1st July 1971, the Range Rover offered here is what can only be described as the holy grail of early Range Rovers. The supplied British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate shows this home market Tuscan Blue 'Suffix A' example was dispatched on 21st June 1971 to the Henley Limited dealers in London. With only four former keepers, this legendary vehicle shows a wonderful patina, whilst also showing off how original it is. Having covered only 52,752 miles, it clearly led a fairly pampered life. The body is exceptionally rust free, with all the usual trouble spots showing no signs of corrosion and in fact, in many places, paint that would polish up to a gloss. Tell-tale plastic bungs reveal the car has most likely been Ziebarted which may go some way to account for the body's incredibly condition. All the details are correct, from the drop-down rear number plate, to the screw-off fuel filler. Inside the car doesn't disappoint either, it is all complete including the centre console 'Palomino' vinyl covering, along with the footwells, roof and door cards all present. Having formed part of two major collections over the past twenty years, it has been dry stored and always maintained in running order. A thorough, but sympathetic mechanical recommissioning was completed in 2002 and the vendor reports the car to run and drive very well to this day.Supplied with a V5C registration document, BMIHT certificate, 2015 Land Rover Monthly magazine article, recommissioning parts list, workshop repair manual and promotional catalogues. Impossible to replicate, this may be the most original Range Rover in existence and a vehicle for the true connoisseur.

1986 Porsche 911 Targa 3.2 Transmission: manualMileage:73548The Porsche 911 is a luxury two-door sports coupé with a distinctive design, rear engine and independent rear suspension; an evolution of the swing axle on the Porsche 356. It has undergone continuous development although the basic concept has remained virtually unchanged. Throughout its lifetime, the 911 has been modified by private teams and by the factory itself for racing, rallying and other forms of automotive competition. It is among the most successful competition cars ever. In the mid-1970s, normally aspirated 911 Carrera RSRs won major world championship sports car races such as Targa Florio, Daytona, Sebring and Nürburgring, even against prototypes. The 911 derived 935 Turbo also won the coveted 24 Hours Le Mans in 1979. At the 1999 international poll for the award of Car of the Century, the 911 came fifth. It is one of two in the top five that has remained continuously in production (the original Beetle remained in production until 2003) and was until 1998, the most successful surviving application of the air cooled, horizontally opposed rear-engine layout.This delightfully handsome Porsche 911 Targa was originally registered on 1st August 1986. The white coachwork on this galvanised body 911 is exquisite with excellent panel gaps and a splendid paint finish. The blue leather trim appears to be original and has a delightful patina. The 3164cc six-cylinder fuel injected engine runs extremely well, this is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and we are advised this Porsche drives with no known faults. Complemented by a rear whale fin and colour co-ordinated wheels, this really is an eye-catching car. Over a three-year period and with the help of a retired mechanic, the previous owner recommissioned this Porsche with a 'no expense spared' attitude and with great attention to detail. The net result is a Porsche 911 Targa of the highest quality. The current owner purchased this car in July 2018 and has kept it to the same high standard having it regularly service and maintained by Brookspeed Porsche, Eastleigh, Hampshire with the last service being carried out in May of this year. The car is supplied with a V5C registration document, a current MoT test certificate valid until 9th April 2024 and a file containing invoices and old MoT's after 2014. Demand for these air-cooled Porsches remains strong with examples as good as this hard to come by.

1999 Marcos Mantaray 4.6 Transmission: manualMileage:14149Marcos was originally founded in 1959 by BRDC member and racer, Jem Marsh and engineer, Frank Costin. The latter had experience building wooden aeroplanes and he put this knowledge to good use in early Marcos cars with the extensive use of plywood as part of their chassis. Various changes of ownership and physical location took place over the ensuing decades and various models came and went, all known for their combination of simplicity and high performance. In the late 1990's their mainstream product was the 'Mantis' which was offered with a potent Rover V8 engine, similar to the TVR's of the day. This model eventually 'morphed' in to the much improved and prettier 'Mantaray', with the re-styled bonnet from the Mantara GTS and with a new shape rear-end. Mechanically the car was identical to the Mantara. It was offered with 4.0 and 4.6 litre Rover V8 as well as the 2.0 litre, and 2.0 litre turbo Rover Tomcat engines. Only 11 were made with the 4.0 litre, and seven with the 4.6 litre engine. Total factory production was 26, plus one car in chassis/body component form.Being one of only seven built with the potent 4.6 litre Rover V8 engine, this pretty Mantaray is an incredibly rare car. Owned by the vendor since 2005, the car has been well cared for in his tenure and presents incredibly well. He purchased it from well-known Porsche specialist, Paul Stephens who had been using it as his personal car. The car's history file contains the original order documentation showing the car to be one of the seven 4.6 litre V8 cars as well as including receipts from Marcos Heritage and an original sales brochure. The vendor had the car re-chipped by Power Engineering in Uxbridge with a 'sensible' tune which reportedly produced a potent 250bhp at the wheels! The car was serviced by Marcos Heritage in 2022 where the adjustable wishbones and newly replaced shock absorbers were all set up to factory specifications. A larger fan has been fitted to replace the smaller twin system and in 2022 the car also benefitted from a replacement fuel system. The vendor reports the car to run and drive very well and is only now selling due to lack of use. Supplied with a V5C registration document, original handbook, sales brochure, original order form, various receipts and a spare set of Team Dynamics wheels. An incredibly rare and unique piece of British motoring history that is a far rarer alternative to the more common TVR. This potent vehicle turns heads wherever it goes.

1994 Jaguar XJR Transmission: manualMileage:103755The first XJ was launched in 1968 and the designation has been used for successive Jaguar flagship models since then. The original model was the last Jaguar saloon to have had the input of Sir William Lyons, the company's founder. A number of incarnations of this extremely robust and admired saloon appeared over the years finishing up in September 1997 with the X300 saloon. The top of the range model in the line-up was the XJR. This model was the first car from the Coventry manufacturer to feature a supercharged 4.0 litre engine. The impact on sales for Jaguar was dramatic with the Midlands company enjoying one of the most successful sales periods in its history.Originally registered on 18th November 1994 this Jaguar XJR is fitted with a manual gearbox and as such, is a very exciting car to drive. The 3980cc straight-six engine is a good reliable unit, however the supercharged version as this is, offers brisk performance by any standards. At the time of launch Jeremy Clarkson described the Jaguar XJR as the best car in the world to drive. Finished in metallic red with Oatmeal leather interior, this XJR comes with air conditioning, heated front seats and an electronically operated sunroof. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 5th April 2024, this Jaguar XJR is offered for sale without reserve.

1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 V-Spec Transmission: manualMileage:122857While many of the PlayStation generation may have first experienced the drama of the R34 GT-R V-Spec via Gran Turismo, it was an appearance in The Fast and the Furious franchise that led to an explosion in global popularity for the R34 GT-R. Indeed, Paul Walker drove an R34 GT-R in 2 Fast 2 Furious, enhancing its almost mythical status.But it was in the 'real' world where the R34 GT-R V-Spec would cement its reputation. Described by Evo magazine as 'a warrior-class performer' in its 2007 road test, where a standard R34 GT-R was pitted against the likes of a McLaren F1, Pagani Zonda, Ferrari F40 and Bugatti Veyron, the GT-R's reputation as a class act remained intact.The V-Spec (Victory Specification) was offered with a number of upgrades over the standard R34 and came equipped with arguably one of the most technically sophisticated four-wheel-drive/steer chassis in the world: the ATTESA E-TS Pro system. The V-Spec also benefitted from an active limited-slip differential at the rear. Along with its mechanical upgrades, the V-Spec also had firmer suspension and lower ground clearance, as well as a rear carbon fibre air diffuser.The Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec offered here was first registered in Japan in March 1999 and is presented in gleaming black with a grey interior. It comes with factory fitted radio/cassette, air conditioning and electric windows. Its fabulous six-cylinder engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox and it comes with a copy of its export certificate, V5C registration document and its MoT test certificate which expires in November 2023. The car was recommissioned at marque specialist Paul Cheshire Automotive with all fluids changed along with a precautionary cambelt change. These early versions of the iconic R34 generation Nissan Skyline GT-R series are coveted by collectors because they are increasingly difficult to find, particularly in standard, unmolested form. This superb V-Spec example remains original throughout and would be a prime example to drive and enjoy.

1965 Ford Anglia 105E Rally Car Transmission: manualMileage:64960When the Anglia 105E was introduced in September 1959, Ford switched to an overhead valve engine for its smallest family saloon. The 997cc four-cylinder unit proved to be a very reliable unit and lent itself to being tuned, hence the success in Formula 3 and Formula Junior. The suspension retained the McPherson strut at the front and live rear axle however the gearbox was uprated to a four-speed unit helping the Anglia to a top speed of 73mph. Styling of the 105E was interesting with an 'open mouth' grille and reverse sloping rear window. The Anglia was an outstanding success for Ford, selling more than a million units until production ended in 1967.This Anglia is a rather special one, it is supplied with a category 1 MSA stage rally logbook, in date until 2026. The car has been a regular competitor in clubman rallying dating back as far as the 1991 Rally Britannia. Under the bonnet, you will find a pre-crossflow 1560cc engine with balanced bottom end and the vendor reports the cylinder head has seen some fettling too, but we don't know the exact specification. An aluminium radiator with high-flow fan has also been fitted. Fuel is fed through a single Weber 45 carburettor and the engine also benefits from electronic ignition. All of this power is fed through a close-ratio 'bullet box' from a Lotus Elan. The car has also been fitted with disc brakes. Handling is improved by the addition of adjustable lever arm rear dampers, a new set of 6" Lotus style steel wheels with Yokohama tyres and a 4.9:1 limited-slip-differential. In the safety department, the car has a full Safety Devices roll cage, Sparco rally seats and a fire extinguisher system. This Anglia will be an excellent way into historic rallying, at a very modest price compared with many of the cars it would compete against.

1995 Volkswagen Golf VR6 Transmission: manualMileage:78000Produced from 1991 to 1997, the Volkswagen Golf VR6 arguably kicked off Europe's obsession with the mega hatch as it epitomised the ideal balance of performance with everyday usability. Replacing the 1990 Volkswagen Golf GTi G60, this front-wheel drive, five-seat, compact hatchback is part of the Mk. III generation Golf, which came in three or five door variations. It also came with the option of a five-speed manual gearbox, or a four-speed automatic. As far as fuel economy is concerned, this car should achieve around 30mpg, meaning a full tank should cover 350 miles before requiring a refill.These cars are pretty rare, as today there are only around 850 Mk. III VR6s on UK roads. First registered on 19th May 1995 and costing £19,920, this metallic blue VR6 is a three-door manual example. Described as totally original and even featuring the uprated, from factory, Sony HiFi upgrades, this example boasts just three former keepers, the last a lady who has owned the car since the turn of the millennium. The car has recently undergone a light restoration and is offered with an MoT test certificate until June 2024. The history file contains a full book pack and a comprehensive service history with significant paperwork for previous maintenance. This is a true unmolested example of the iconic 90's hot hatch when big engines in smaller cars become all the rage and Volkswagen's V6 was the perfect combination.Estimate £3,000-£7,000

1959 Jaguar XK150 Fixedhead Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:7934This lovely right hand drive car is presented in its original colour of Old English White with red interior, on its original number plate 692 BTT. The car's originality is supported by a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, certified copy of the Devon Archives, and inspected by the London XK specialist from the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club. This example also retains its original engine, chassis and gearbox with working overdrive in original livery. Mr. Sanderson of Torquay first bought 692 BTT new in March 1959. From there it appears that the car was owned by Wing Commander Graham Rogers MBE DFC, a pilot in the RAF's 92nd squadron.

1965 Morris Mini Cooper Mk. I (998cc) Transmission: manualMileage:40798This superb and largely original Morris Mini Cooper is a one owner from new example. Purchased by the vendor as a 21st birthday present to himself on 9th June 1965 through dealer, Wadhams Holdings Limited of Chichester, where he was completing an apprenticeship at the time. The vendor chose to collect the Mini directly from the Longbridge factory production line and subsequently drove the car back to Wadhams on trade plates. With the help of Wadhams he immediately set about completing some modifications to the car which included fitting wheel arches all round and changing the colour from Tweed Grey to the Opalescent Silver Blue it wears today.Since then, the Mini has resided with the vendor at his West Sussex home covering a mere 40,798 miles from new. Dry stored for the past 33 years, this Mini is in very good and largely original condition. It has never been restored but maintained and recommissioned where necessary and as such it is showing some light patina.

I, complete with its excellent history is a real time warp example and offers a one off opportunity for Mini enthusiasts and collectors alike.
