Stunning, 276bhp, AWD, Gen-3 WRX STi  'Hawk Eye' that's covered less than 7,000 miles from new.  From the early 1990s through to 2008, Subaru enjoyed enormous success on the World Rally stage and the Impreza was the star. All-wheel drive, great acceleration, traction and brakes made the cars seriously capable performers. The WRX or 'World Rally Experimental' production car was based on the rally-winning Impreza and carried over many of the driver focused features and systems. The WRX STI was the top of the line version and in good hands it was a hard-to-beat carThe redesigned, third-generation (2005-07) Impreza WRX STI featured swept-back headlights that resembled hawk eyes and a three-part grille that looked like an aeroplane. Its front bumper sported a lower apron with an integrated rectangular grille for the intercooler and instead of the fog lights, it featured two body-coloured plastic caps with the red Subaru Tecnica International logo. The STI version featured a spoiler on the upper side of the rear windscreen and a wing on the boot lid. Inside, the carmaker kept the sports bucket seats with high bolstering and integrated headrests. In the instrument cluster, the tachometer took centre stage flanked by the speedometer on the right and the fuel and coolant-temperature gauges on the left dial. The STI was available in only one trim level, with the sound system on the upper side and the climate control dials on the lower side on the centre stack.Unlike the rest of the Impreza range, the STI version featured a 6-speed manual and an adjustable front and rear torque distribution dial for selected markets. Its flat-four engine provided a claimed 276bhp.Supplied to its first owner on 29th June 2007 in Ireland, this superb third generation ‘Hawk Eye’ WRX STi is finished in World Rally Blue with a contrasting blue and black cloth interior with STi badging on the front seats. Under the bonnet sits the 2.5-litre EJ255 four-cylinder Boxer engine with single TD04 turbocharger which develops 276bhp and 289lb/ft of torque driving all four wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission offering enough performance and excitement for most buyers with 0-60mph achievable in 5.4 seconds.The car had its first service by Donnelly Brothers of Belfast, a main Subaru dealer, on 7th August at 1,148 miles and was used sparingly and then stored in a humidified environment until our lucky vendor managed to purchase the vehicle last year. He immediately set about having the car recommissioned by Paul Wray Motorsport of Strabane, a specialist in Subarus, making sure it was fully up to speed including all belts, brakes overhauled and fuel lines cleaned through, with the mileage then showing at 6,500. With just under 7,000 miles on the odometer it has been decided due to lack of use to let this fabulous WRX go to its next custodian. The car is totally standard and has had no upgrades or been chipped, super rare for these cars, and consequently can be regarded as collector quality. Supplied with all of its original documentation, book pack with folder, and both keys, it presents as you might expect from an example with such low mileage that has been totally cherished from new.Specification Make: SUBARU Model: IMPREZA WRX STI 2.5L Year: 2007 Chassis Number: JF1GDFKH37G069918 Registration Number: OEZ 2803 Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 072428 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 6910 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Blue/Black ClothClick here for more details and images

A Very Special Roadster. Recreated in the 1990s with coachwork and interior of the highest quality set on a fully rebuilt, straight-six powered, rolling chassis.  Rover's Model 14 was launched in 1934 on a lengthened underslung chassis retaining its predecessor's 1,577cc, six-cylinder, overhead-valve engine. The new frame enabled the adoption of lowline bodies, and attractive 'streamline' versions of both saloon and coupé. Specification included a 4-speed gearbox with freewheel, Lockheed brakes, Luvax-Bijur automatic lubrication and electric windscreen wipers. Offered in sports saloon, coupé and open tourer versions, the '80mph from the factory' Speed 14 was powered by a tuned engine incorporating 'specially streamlined ports and manifolds' and a high-compression cylinder head.This particular Rover 14 was built in Coventry and registered in 1935 as AVC 88, the number it still retains today. It was originally finished as a four-door saloon with the desirable 1,577cc straight-six mated to a 4-speed manual transmission and was sold by Huxley Sales & Service of Albany Road, Earlsdon with a dashboard plaque confirming this. During its time as a saloon, it was owned at one point by Peter Rowntree of confectionery fame with some documentation in the file to confirm this. The car was given a new lease of life in the mid to late-1990s when the then owner decided to re-create a period Derby Bentley-style, two-seat roadster which, as can be seen from our images, he achieved with great vision and attention to detail. Having sketched out what he hoped the car would look like, he engaged the services of Vintage Carriages of Shaw, Oldham who stripped the car back and built by hand the Ash-framed rear body covered with aluminium. The result was rather elegant, reminiscent of late-1930s Roadsters from the leading coachbuilders of the period. The work was photo documented and all the relevant technical details of the conversion are in the car’s history file with a list of costs which in today’s money would be probably in excess of £60,000. The file also contains many receipts for work done, parts bought and old MOTs etc. giving the Roadster some great provenance.More recently, the engine was refreshed by our fastidious engineer vendor with a head-off, top-end rebuild. New rocker shafts, valves refaced or new, seats cut, lapped and leak tested. Carburettor, distributor, and ignition system rebuilt with new key components. The engine runs like a straight six should. It presents really well, finished in British Racing Green with a lovely Apple Green leather interior and Olive Green carpets. There is a recent new hood and a perfect tonneau cover with side screens available as well. The car now also benefits from an overdrive unit on fourth gear, fitted seat-belts and a heater.This lovely Rover Special has had much success in local Concours d'Elegance and a number of those trophies will remain with the car. We invite and encourage your viewing of this one-off Model 14 Roadster and feel sure it won’t disappoint.Specification Make: ROVER Model: 14HP ROADSTER SPECIAL Year: 1935 Chassis Number: 524059 Registration Number: AVC 88 Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 623709 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 22500 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Green LeatherClick here for more details and images

Another example of Jaguar's late-1950s, long-legged, 3.4-litre Drophead Coupé, sympathetically restored and beautifully presented. The XK150 was the final incarnation of the XK series and it appeared in May 1957, as either a Fixed or Drophead Coupé. A more refined and capable machine than its predecessors, the 150 was noticeably different from earlier versions of the XK theme with a higher scuttle and door line, whilst the radiator grille reverted to the thinner slats of the XK120 but was altogether wider. The bumpers were deeper and wrapped around, a curved windscreen replaced the divided one on the XK120 and 140 and much needed servo-assisted Dunlop disc brakes were fitted at each corner. However, the XK150 retained much of the mechanical layout of the 140, sharing the same 3.4-litre DOHC Jaguar straight-six, which developed 180bhp at 5,750rpm.On offer here today we have an original, UK-registered XK150 3.4 Drophead Coupé that has been extensively restored from the chassis up. Purchased by the present owner in 1989, the XK was in need of some serious TLC and a comprehensive restoration was commenced, the result of which can clearly be seen in our images. Now finished in gleaming Signal Red with a black leather interior and chrome wire wheels, the quality of fit and finish is simply exceptional. That level of attention to detail was not restricted to the car's cosmetics as the Jaguar is also mechanically superb throughout with some desirable touches incorporated such as dual exhausts, spotlights and overdrive.The car is accompanied by a comprehensive history file detailing the build and subsequent trips throughout the UK and Europe. A pleasant surprise are the pages of handwritten notes that are a delight and something so rarely seen today. Look further through the documentation and you will find numerous invoices and associated paperwork from the likes of VSE, Forward Engineering, Aldridge Trimming, Motor Wheel Services and M&C Wilkinson, names that have become part of the UK Jaguar scene over the years and are renowned for their expertise and knowledge and indicative of our vendor's emphasis on having each aspect of the car's restoration dealt with by the appropriate expert.Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the quality on offer here at a very sensible estimate.Specification Make: JAGUAR Model: XK150 DHC Year: 1959 Chassis Number: 827199 Registration Number: 843 UMY Transmission: Manual - Overdrive Engine Number: 5023 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black HideClick here for more details and images

Inspired by the engineering integrity behind the famous Autogyro 'Little Nellie' from the James Bond film You Only Live Twice, a hand-built upgraded Classic Defender 90 with a huge specification.   Wallis & Son have had a long-term love affair with the Land Rover Brand, particularly the Defender. Having bespoke-built a couple of one-off Land Rovers some 15 or so years ago, it slowly turned into a passion and during the 2020 COVID pandemic, Wallis & Son 'pressed the reset button' on a couple of its departments creating Wallis Defenders Sales Department and indeed Built by Wallis Defenders Workshop - successfully building and selling high-quality Defenders under the Wallis name.The evolution continued into their new prestige, full custom-build division, GYRO, where only the highest level of build is accepted. The brand name GYRO is inspired by Wing Commander Ken Wallis DSO MBE, the decorated engineer/aviator whose creation ‘Little Nellie’ was the famous Autogyro flown in the James Bond film, You Only Live Twice. The Wallis’ family pedigree in engineering has much influenced the high quality, integrity and finish to the Defenders it now produces. GYRO Defenders are lovingly hand-built at their Cambridge workshop and all build projects strive to use British-made and supplied parts throughout the conversion process. Hand-picked Defenders from the Wallis stock are transformed into bespoke one-off machines (with all-known Defender weak spots being covered-off) to bring the vehicle, as much as possible, back to being a new (and improved) machine. Only premium parts are used in these builds and each example is always signed off by Mr Wallis himself when finished.The vehicle presented here is a 2015 Land Rover Defender 90 County 2.2-litre #002 GYRO Edition by Wallis Defenders. It started life as a low-owner, low-mileage Defender 90 County, before entering the Built by Wallis Defenders Workshop. Here it received a ‘no-expense-spared’ conversion (photos available) with a huge, high-end specification including LOF brake components and clutch kit, an On-Airs fully adjustable air suspension system, a Demand custom exhaust, Optimills billet hinge kits, new 18" wheels (with BF Goodrich tyres), a panoramic roof, panoramic side, rear quarter and rear glass, full sound insulation, a Stage 3 premium audio (including a Pioneer Double Din Apple CarPlay unit with DAB Radio) installation and a reversing camera (full details available on request).Also benefiting from comprehensive servicing (including differential and C-service), plus the replacement of consumables, this Defender drives as well as it presents.With 2015 being the Classic Defender's final year of production, the last of the line models (the most evolved) are now quite rightly in demand, with the modern JLR incarnation somewhat lacking the ‘character’ that owners often mention. What an opportunity this is, then, to acquire a ‘real’ Land Rover Defender, the likes of which we may never see again, with both a plethora of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades, a full recommissioning, mileage, condition and a backstory that would be difficult to replicate.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: DEFENDER 90 2.2-LITRE #002 GYRO EDITION Year: 2015 Chassis Number: SALLDWBP7FA473544 Registration Number: DN15 XKX Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 150420031224DT224 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 25000 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

A very special Sierra Cosworth enhanced by one of the best in the business; with an impressive specification, in super condition and from a Ford-enthusiast home. The original Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was the first Ford to wear the Cosworth badge and was presented to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1985. It was introduced as a means of homologating the Sierra for 'Group A' Touring Car racing, with a requirement that 5,000 cars were built and sold - somewhat worrying when the company's initial approach to the dealer network came back with an estimate that suggested they could sell around 1,500 units! The eventual sales record is, of course, history, Ford going on to sell 5,545 three-door cars (including the RS500, of which only 500 were built).Launched for sale in July 1986, and based on the three-door Sierra bodyshell, it was designed by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) and was powered by a Cosworth-designed 2-litre turbo engine of now legendary repute. At this time, the Sierra Cosworth was a new kind of performance car - a 'blue-collar hero' able to humble true sports cars!David Brodie was a hugely successful saloon car racer in club, British and European championships, who will be forever associated with a wide-arched Mk1 Ford Escort affectionately known as ‘Run Baby Run’, a car that won dozens of races in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He’s held lap records at all the UK circuits, a few of which stood for many years, and became a regular BTCC driver in the 1980s and 1990s. He has long been a friend to motor racing’s elite, having helped out Frank Williams in his early career (later becoming a director of Williams Grand Prix Engineering at its outset) and was best man and limo driver at Ronnie Peterson’s wedding, a favour the Formula 1 driver later returned.David Brodie also formed Brodie Brittain Racing (BBR) with engineer Ken Brittain in Brackley, working closely with the Ford Works Motorsport division and going on to build a wide variety of road and race cars that achieved legendary status among UK car enthusiasts.The car presented here is a 1986 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth that has been well and truly given the BBR treatment; uprated in period and subsequently changed from Moonstone Blue to British Racing Green (in honour of a Sierra campaigned by David Brodie).Sometimes a car can do all its ‘talking’ through its specification:1997 BBR engine modifications: Cosworth pistons (with total seal rings), race-spec cylinder head with 26mm ports, inlet manifold ported/matched to head, Piper BD 10 cams, Isky valve springs, lightened/polished con rods, H/P oil pump, ARP head-studs, ARP rod-bolts, ARP main-studs, ARP flywheel bolts, T34/63 Turbo with 34 actuator, grey injectors (403s), billet fuel rail and regulator, lightened flywheel, racing paddle clutch, Quaiffe big tooth straight cut gearset, B&M quick-shift assembly, Pace RS500 intercooler, Brise Motorsport alloy radiator, 13-row oil cooler.Bodywork: Bare-metal repaint in Jaguar British Racing Green (paint code HEN), all new seals, rubbers etc. when rebuilt.Running Gear: Front 8x17 three-piece Compomotive split-rims wheels with 215/40/17 Kumho Tyres; Rear 8.5 x17 with 235/40/17 Kumho Tyres. Brakes: 325mm x 32 front discs with new hi-spec 6-pot callipers, EBC Red Stuff pads; 300mm rear discs with EBC Red Stuff pads and new callipers; Dot 5.1 racing brake fluid.Suspension: Gaz gold coil-overs, updated bushes all round, new rear beam mounting bushes, rose-jointed rear anti-roll bar drop links.Fuel system: new tank and strap, new 044 fuel pump, new filters & lines, all new A/N fittings and Teflon braided hoses.Miscellaneous: Bailey Motorsport header tank, swirl pot, washer tank and breather system, with red/blue A/N fittings, 10-row power steering cooler with A/N fittings; the engine has just had new oil and filters, a new thermostat, a new cambelt (Mountune), a new tensioner, all new drive-belts, new boost and water hoses (Roose Motorsport) and the injectors have cleaned and flow tested; all ABS sensors have been replaced and the system is fully operational.Specification Make: FORD Model: SIERRA RS COSWORTH BY BBR Year: 1986 Chassis Number: WF0EXXGBBEGB51584 Registration Number: D24 RSC Transmission: Manual Engine Number: GB51584 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: Grey Cloth Click here for more details and images

A very impressive example of BMW's mid-1990s 380bhp V12 range-topper with a manual gearbox. The BMW 850 CSi was the factory's flagship model in the mid-1990s and featured the silky smooth S70 V12 engine mated to a Getrag 6-speed manual transmission and was one of the first cars ever to offer drive-by-wire throttle control. Developed from the M70, the S70 increased the bore and stroke and utilised more aggressive valve timings, resulting in an increase in maximum power to an impressive 380bhp at 5,300rpm and torque to 402lb/ft at 4,000rpm. With the hydraulic control unit mounted on the differential, the 850 uses hydraulic rear steering linked to Servotronic front steering to give precise, high-speed stability and harness the S70's significant power output for a great driving experience.Although considered avant-garde when it first arrived, the pillarless coupé was blessed with classically proportioned, understated and essentially timeless styling that has not dated, and these beautiful and exclusive Gran Turismos still look modern today.This outstanding manual gearbox example is finished in Oxford Green Metallic with a contrasting black and ivory leather interior and has benefitted from a comprehensive, no expense spared rebuild in recent years. The in-depth restoration was far more than skin deep as not only was the exterior totally stripped and bare metalled before being professionally refinished, but the engine was fully rebuilt by BMR Performance with invoices on file for £40,000. The suspension was stripped and overhauled as required, new brake discs and calipers were fitted, the fuel lines were replaced and much more, meaning that, in reality, the total restoration cost in excess of £80,000. Invoices for this work are in the car's history file alongside the original book pack, stamped service records and an original sales brochure. It will be presented for a fresh MOT prior to the sale.These are rare with only 138 right-hand drive, manual gearbox cars being allocated to the UK. With values of the 3.0 CSL and M635 CSi climbing rapidly, this ultimate specification 850 CSi may well be a worthwhile investment. We welcome your inspection of this high-performance, modern classic at our Silverstone Festival Sale.Specification Make: BMW Model: 850 CSI - E31 Year: 1994 Chassis Number: WBSEG92030CC88058 Registration Number: L268 HKN Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 60020709* Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: Ivory / Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

On offer from the Focus on Ford Collection, this is a stunning, delivery mileage Focus RS Mk2 from single ownership. The second generation Focus RS is the Focus that Ford originally claimed they would never build - a limited run 300bhp 'super-hatch' - but we're delighted they did and make no apology for being enthusiastic about this remarkable little car with its huge twin-blade spoiler at the back, aggressive body kit and ballistic performance from the turbocharged 2.5-litre, five-cylinder engine. Only 11,500 examples were built in a production run that lasted a little over three years, with just 4,000 finding homes in the UK. The RS may not have had four-wheel drive, but a combination of Ford's trick Revo-Knuckle front suspension, a Quaife limited-slip differential and well-judged ESP did a great job of putting the power down and managing the torque-steer while still providing plenty of involvement. The chassis was stiffened by about 30% and bigger drive shafts, a wider track, lower ride height and a faster steering rack translated into remarkably civilised road manners. With 301bhp and a massive 324lbs/ft available, the RS could hit 60mph in under six seconds and topped 160mph, all accompanied by a distinctive five-cylinder warble, plenty of turbo chatter and even the occasional pop and bang from the exhausts. When you weren't on a charge, the RS was a polite and practical hatchback capable of returning 25-30mpg, easy to park, offering plenty of boot space and reasonably quiet at a constant speed. However, with its gaping grille, 19" wheels, flared arches, deep diffuser and a wing that would embarrass a Porsche Turbo, the RS left you in no doubt about its intentions.The beautiful, Frozen White RS on offer here has been cherished and carefully stored since its purchase new by our vendor. It has covered just ten miles in that time although this may go up slightly as the car is moved around the sale. The Performance Fords on offer today from the Focus on Ford Collection have remained in storage for a number of years but, despite having only covered delivery mileage, our vendors took the sensible decision to bring them to sale in the very best condition possible and ready to drive away. Their recommissioning has been carried out by the respected Tremona Garage of Southampton and has involved a meticulous inspection of each car, with remedial work as necessary. On this car, that has included fresh engine oil and filter, spark plugs replaced, air and pollen filters replaced, gearbox oil renewed, water pump, cambelt, idler and tensioner replaced, alternator and air conditioning belts replaced, brake fluid and antifreeze replaced, the brake system and all electrics tested, and new batteries were fitted in the cars as well as in the keys. All parts used were genuine Ford items.Finally, once satisfied that the car was ready to be driven, they have been sensitively valeted to maintain the 'fresh from the showroom' look, so factory stickers and plastic trim covers remain in place and the cars have been cleaned to a standard one might expect at initial delivery. However, it will not have a current MOT as our vendor has chosen not to register the car on the MOT system, leaving that decision to its new owner.Specification Make: FORD Model: FOCUS RS 3DR Year: 2010 Chassis Number: WG0GXXGCDG9O69253 Registration Number: TB10 FRS Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 13 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black Dynamica Leather / ClothClick here for more details and images

Offered from long term ownership with an exacting restoration completed to an outstanding level. Long famed for their rugged reliability and idiosyncratic good looks, the 'side screen' TRs have attracted a fanatical following over the years. The final evolution of the Triumph TR2/TR3 sportscar line (save for the American market TR3B), the TR3A was introduced in September 1957. It was never officially badged as such and was, in fact, a minor revision of the TR3, with updates including a new wide grille, exterior door handles, lockable boot and a full toolkit.  Great fun to drive, its tough box-section chassis featured independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc/drum brakes, (the first British production car to have front disc brakes as standard). Fitted with a 1,991cc four-cylinder OHV unit developing around 104bhp and 117lb/ft of torque, it was reputedly capable of 110mph. A great sales success on both sides of the Atlantic, the model provided a rather more visceral alternative to its MG and Jaguar competition. This particular TR3A has been in its current long-term ownership for some 25 years, during which time it has undergone a total chassis-up restoration including many sensible upgrades providing a more modern and enjoyable driving experience. The complete nut and bolt overhaul included a full body refurbishment, superbly finished in Triumph Royal Blue with an equally impressive interior refinished in light grey hide piped in blue.  The engine, gearbox and overdrive were rebuilt with engine internals lightened and balanced, a 'fast-road' cam, harmonic crankshaft pulley upgrade, new flywheel and clutch assembly, rear oil-seal conversion, Dynalite Alternator conversion, a stainless steel manifold and SS sports exhaust. Additionally, the steering was sharpened with a rack and pinion conversion to enhance the overall feel and driving experience. In fact, there is nothing that has not been refinished, replaced or renewed, all of which has been completed by its retired engineer custodian to a very impressive level, so much so that we encourage and welcome your early inspection to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer.Specification Make: TRIUMPH Model: TR3A Year: 1960 Chassis Number: TS67489L Registration Number: 153 XVC Transmission: Manual Engine Number: TS67839E Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 7184 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Grey piped BlueClick here for more details and images

A remarkable 'timewarp' RS500 from 30 years long-term ownership. The original Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was the first Ford to wear the Cosworth badge and was presented to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1985. It was introduced as a means of homologating the Sierra for 'Group A' Touring Car racing, with a requirement that 5,000 cars were built and sold. Launched for sale in July 1986 and based on the three-door Sierra body-shell, it was designed by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) and was powered by a Cosworth-designed 2-litre turbo engine of now legendary repute.In total 5,545 cars were produced, of which 500 were sent to Aston Martin Tickford for conversion to the Sierra RS500 Cosworth. Once Ford had built the requisite 5,000 RS Cosworths, 'Group A' rules allowed an upgraded 'evolution' model to be launched. This could carry changes focused on improving its racing potential, provided Ford sold 10% of the original number as road cars, hence the 500. The RS500 was announced in July 1987 and had a mechanically uprated Cosworth engine (more similar to the one to be used in competition), with power boosted to 224bhp, upgraded brakes, modified bodywork and the cachet of being hand-assembled. The vast majority (392) were finished in Black, 56 in Diamond White and 52 in Moonstone Blue.Presented here is a 1987 Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 (#372/500) finished in black with grey cloth interior and sold by Ford main dealer, Grays of Guildford, to its Surrey-based, only registered owner. First registered on 14th August 1987, it remains remarkably original, still fitted with its original Ford mild-steel exhaust and sitting on Dunlop D40 tyres. It’s supplied with its original wallet with the service record detailing five Ford main dealer (Grays of Guildford) stamps up to 1990 at 28,948 miles. A separate check lists shows a further service at 33,000 miles during 1993. The most recent MOT dates from 1994.The car was purchased by our vendor when it had covered just over 41,600 miles, however, he chose not to register the car in his name (the V5C lists 'None' against the number of previous owners) and has also chosen never to use it although it has been started regularly and maintained during this period. This ‘lost’ RS500 still sports its original Grays of Guildford number plates and as you can see from the images, still presents remarkably well considering its lack of use. It started immediately during our visit and appeared ready to drive off for the day.We invite and encourage your inspection of #372 to establish what may have to be done to return this ‘timewarp’ RS500 to regular use. Specification Make: FORD Model: SIERRA RS500 Year: 1987 Chassis Number: WF0EXXGBBEGG38718 Registration Number: E306 EPD Transmission: Manual Engine Number: GG38718 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 41643 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black/GreyClick here for more details and images

An attractive example of the rare, 1972 model year-only, 'side oil-fill' 911E in a great colour combination. By 1972, the 911 model range had stabilised at three: the entry-level 911T, middle-ranking 911E, and top-of-the-range 911S, all of which were available as either a closed Coupé or Targa convertible. With the 2.2-litre engine's arrival, a common type of cylinder head was adopted, the differing power outputs being determined principally by valve timing rather than valve sizes as had been the case hitherto. In 1972, all 911 variants received the 2,341cc (nominally 2.4-litre) unit, which in the case of the 911E produced around 165bhp, 40 more than the original 911 of 1963. For 1972, in addition to the larger engine, the 'E-series’ cars had a further two revisions. An aggressive new front spoiler was incorporated below the bumper and in an attempt to move as much weight as possible towards the centre of the car, the oil tank was re-positioned inboard of the right rear wheel arch, resulting in the introduction of an external oil filler cap on the right-hand side rear wing behind a flap (Oel Klappe). The propensity for petrol station attendants to fill the oil tank with fuel and the resulting warranty claims quickly persuaded Porsche to change the design and 1972 'Oel Klappe' cars became difficult to sell, possibly resulting in their comparative scarcity today. As is often the case, that rarity has resulted in the 'Oel Klappe' cars now being the most desirable.The Porsche Letter of Authenticity confirms that this lovely 911E rolled of the production line on 1st March 1972 and was one of the rare 1972 MY models that featured the side oil-filler. It was destined for Porsche Great Britain and was finished in Porsche Blue Metallic (324) over a beige/tan leather and cloth interior and specified with Sports seats, sunroof and a rear wiper.It was purchased in 2003 by our vendor who is a Porsche enthusiast and the owner of a commercial bodyshop, so naturally a good bit of resource has been lavished on this fine narrow-bodied 911E. The distinctive beige/tan interior has been retrimmed by Southbound and really complements the car’s rich Metallic Blau hue. The V5C shows five previous owners and reveals that at some stage of its life the engine was replaced. The current engine number is only a few hundred digits different from the original which suggests that the engine was replaced very early on. Perhaps it was one of the many that didn’t respond well to petrol in the oil tank. It’s now running on carburettors and would benefit from some light recommissioning after a year in storage.Early 911s possess a certain purity of line, a complete world away from the aerodynamic extravagances of the 1980s and 1990s and in terms of style, it's the early cars that engender the most appreciative glances. A well set-up and maintained 911T or E, driven with an intelligent right foot, will provide some of the most quintessentially rewarding driving experiences you have ever had.

Amongst the finest examples we have seen, from ten years UK-ownership with just 11,800 miles, the detailed history file documents its ownership and maintenance on both sides of the pond, with recent works to a very high standard. One of the few 'star' cars of the 20th century, the DeLorean DMC-12 was the brainchild of ex-General Motors executive, John DeLorean, who became one of the most controversial motor industry figures of all time. The DeLorean Motor Company story is fascinating and the subject of two feature films and dozens of documentaries. Launched in 1981, the DMC-12’s stylish coupé bodywork attracted international attention by virtue of its method of construction, a combination of fibreglass inner panels, a brushed stainless-steel outer skin and innovative gull wing doors. The underpinnings were engineered under the guidance of Lotus founder, Colin Chapman. Quality control issues, cash flow problems and John DeLorean's 1982 indictment on a $24,000,000 drugs charge, although later acquitted, led to the model’s demise in 1983. Auction tradition dictates that we mention the car’s starring role in the Back to the Future movie series, spawning generations of fans.The detailed history file begins with the temporary registration issued by the state of New Jersey upon import on 26th August 1983 to a Mr John Ennis Jr. of Pennsylvania. A copy Bill of Sale issued by Gullwing Motors of Long Island, New York in July 2002 described it as a 'one owner car, only 7,000 miles, absolutely beautiful'. The new owners, Wayne and Debbie Windham of Jacksonville, Florida, paid $20,000 for the car and the myriad receipts from the DeLorean Motor Company of Texas for numerous parts attest to the many thousands of dollars spent to bring the car up to scratch for its sale to a UK-buyer before being registered with the DVLA on 20th October 2008, firstly to the importer and latterly to the car’s third official owner.No serious Collection is complete without a DeLorean and this particular car set a UK record price when it was bought by our vendor at auction on 6th March 2013 with some 11,500 recorded miles at the time. Joining an extensive collection of nearly 100 cars, only the very best were stored alongside his ex-RAF English Electric Lightning jet fighter. The eclectic Collection has been trimmed down over the years and having covered only a few hundred miles since purchase, our vendor is ready to pass the car on to the next enthusiast, following exhaustive recommissioning works to his very exacting standards. Recent receipts amount to some £3,500 for parts alone and the car has been taken out on regular 'shake down' trips to ensure it is ready for the auction. The interior has been kept as original as possible and the leather seats show the patina one expects from a DMC-12.Presented to auction with an odometer reading of 11,739 miles at the time of cataloguing, the comprehensive history file includes three thick volumes entitled ‘DMC Technical Service Manual’, ‘DMC Parts Manual’ and ‘DMC Overview Manual’, its V5C and the aforementioned receipts from both sides of the Atlantic.Having hammered away every DeLorean consigned to our auctions over the years, this example is among the finest in terms of history, condition and fastidious attention to detail we have seen.Specification Make: DELOREAN Model: DMC-12 Year: 1983 Chassis Number: SCEDT26T9DD016983 Registration Number: UAR 782Y Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 12000 Miles Make: LHD Interior Colour: Grey LeatherClick here for more details and images

Is there such a thing as a unique (i.e. one-off), factory-built Escort Cosworth? Indeed there is. Performance Fords are our thing here at Iconic Auctioneers. We love them and their enthusiastic owners and occasionally we get a chance to offer something rather special from Ford's motorsport-based back catalogue. Introduced in 1992, the Escort RS Cosworth was an homologation special and its sole role was to incorporate parts that Ford planned to use in their 'Group A' rally cars to ensure success in the World Rally Championship.Ford’s Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) division managed to squeeze the workings of the Sierra Cosworth into the marketing-friendly Escort bodyshell and, hey presto, we had the Escort Cosworth. The enormous rear wing, front splitter and widened body panels all served a purpose too, being designed to assist the car at the high speeds it was expected to reach in rallying.They were built in their thousands, so the chances of finding a unique, factory-built car must be zero. Well no, actually, you are looking at one.N104 SVV was ordered through Ford’s Special Vehicle Operations by Cosworth Engineering in October 1995 for the sole use of their Financial Director at the time, Victor Smith. The car was to be finished in Zinc Yellow, the only right-hand drive example in this colour scheme to roll off the production line ever and Cosworth were to retain it for the next 30 or so years.One look at the condition and it's clear to see that it has led a very cherished life, remaining in outstanding condition throughout with just 29,034 miles recorded at the time of viewing. Even the suppling dealer, E Ward (Wellingborough) Ltd dealer sticker and tax disc holder ae still in place. Open the door, hatchback or the bonnet and the condition remains the same, taking you back to a time when the RS badge had real cachet, with its Raven leather Recaros, cassette player and sunroof.As it was one of the last Escort Cosworths produced, it's the 'small turbo' model, one of the most desirable and given that it is in exceptional condition throughout and unique in its presentation, it is possibly one of the most collectable Escorts to come to market in recent years. The car has just been serviced in preparation for the sale including a cambelt and brake overhaul, and the original exhaust is available should the new owner wish to retain it.With an unquestionable history and documented ownership from new, this particular 'Performance Ford' will be a very welcome addition to any Blue Oval Collection. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the condition and rarity of this particular RS Cosworth.Specification Make: FORD Model: ESCORT RS COSWORTH Year: 1995 Chassis Number: WFOBXXGKABSU91774 Registration Number: N104 SVV Transmission: Manual Engine Number: SU91774 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 29000 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Raven HideClick here for more details and images

European-spec left-hand drive 911S 'soft-window' Targa subject to a full restoration by Autofarm to their usual remarkable standards. Offered here for auction at the Silverstone Festival 2024 is this beautiful, left-hand drive, European-specification, early 911 S Targa finished in gorgeous, period appropriate Tangerine. Manufactured in August 1967, it was supplied new by Hahn Stuttgart GmbH, Germany, before being exported to Canada later the same year. The Targa S would remain in North America until it was discovered by its current owner, imported into the UK in 2017 and subsequently registered in 2019. Once landed here, Autofarm, one of the UK’s most highly regarded early 911 specialists were instructed to set about a full body restoration, carefully retaining or reinstating the interesting features unique to this model-year Targa.Upon inspection, the ‘matching numbers’ engine appeared to be in good shape and featured some performance upgrades, so the decision was made to focus fully on the restoration of the body. This painstaking process has been fully documented from start to finish including images, video and detailed invoices. The interior was kept original where possible, retaining its carpets and unique model-year-only door cards and the optional, petrol-fired Webasto heater was restored but not commissioned in the interests of safety.Within the nicely presented and impressive history file are detailed restoration invoices, import documents, Canadian title documents, the Porsche COA confirming correct colours, engine number and the optional Webasto heater. Also present is the original service book, research into previous owners, correspondence with Porsche, images of the 911 as discovered in Canada and the current V5C UK registration documents ready for export or transfer of ownership.This rare, early 911 Targa is presented for auction from a Collection of landmark Porsches. Our vendor is a knowledgeable Porsche enthusiast and long term Porsche Club GB member who invested significant time and finances to bring this example up to the standard you see here now. To present this 911 to auction absolutely up to date, it has been checked-over by Autofarm and, although exempt, has a clean MOT valid to July 2025.Not to be confused with the average examples that occasionally come to market, this 'soft window' Targa is on point, pin sharp and ready to join another Collection of important sports cars.Specification Make: PORSCHE Model: 911S Year: 1967 Chassis Number: 11850027 Registration Number: XPX 663F Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 4080159 Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 7541 Miles Make: LHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

A remarkably original, low-mileage, low-ownership Phase 1 1.9-litre that's patently been looked after from new. In many people's eyes, the Peugeot 205 was the definitive 1980s hatchback and the most perfect, practical design for a small car ever. Launched in 1983, it was a brilliant rival to the Renault 5 and the Ford Fiesta with its 'wheel at each corner' design and flyweight 750kg kerb weight. No wonder it won What Car magazine's 'Car of the Year' in 1983 and was declared 'Car of the Decade' by CAR magazine in 1990. The 1.6 GTi was particularly singled out for praise, being blessed with brilliant handling and a revvy and eager 105bhp engine and the 1.9 GTi that followed was more of the same with an extra 20bhp and a bit more torque.Ordered new from Peugeot Piccadilly this incredibly original 1.9-litre 205 GTi spent virtually its whole life in an underground garage in Monte Carlo. It was specified in Arctic White with contrasting trim by Formula 2 driver, Colin Vandervell, son of Tony Vandervell who founded the Vanwall Grand Prix Team. His fascination had been fired by Peugeot's World Rally Championship successes and the 205 GTi was used between his residences in Nice and Monte Carlo with occasional trips back to London.Having spent the majority of its life garaged, the interior is pin sharp and with over-mats fitted, the red carpeting and interior are still immaculate with no fading. The undamaged alloy wheels have never been refurbished and it still sports its original manufacturers stickers under the bonnet and doors. The engine bay is impressive, remaining nicely original with even the weather protection over the distributor still in place. Recent work includes a cambelt change, water pump and new fuel pump. The car is supplied with all its books and manuals, sales brochures, various Peugeot Piccadilly promotional items, and the original Monaco number plates and documents.Patently looked after from new and pleasingly unmodified, this is a super example and the combination of originality and motorsport provenance is bound to generate interest. Possibly the hot hatch of the decade in period and only 55,274 miles.Specification Make: PEUGEOT Model: GTI Year: 1987 Chassis Number: VF320CD6201144445 Registration Number: E475 MPV Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

The last-of-the-line Diablos, a rare factory Special Edition benefiting from all the upgrades, a 205mph capability and all the theatre you’d want from Sant'Agata’s finest. After 17 years in production, Lamborghini’s much revered Countach was superseded by the Diablo which, on its arrival, was the fastest, most advanced and most expensive Lamborghini ever built. First presented publicly at Monaco in January 1990, the Diablo improved on its predecessor in every way, setting a new standard in ‘supercar’ design. It was styled by the late Marcello Gandini, the man responsible for Lamborghini’s Miura, Countach, Uracco, Khamsin and Jarama, Alfa’s Montreal, the Lancia Stratos and many more stunning designs over four decades.The use of carbon fibre composite panels, first seen in the Countach Evoluzione model, was extended in the Diablo, which also featured revised suspension capable of accommodating the anticipated future developments of four-wheel drive and active suspension. Stretched to 5.7-litres for the Diablo, Lamborghini's 48-valve V12 boasted fuel-injection for the first time.With more power and a lower drag coefficient than the Countach, the Diablo easily eclipsed its forebearer, exceeding 200mph on test. More importantly however, its acceleration and top-speed figures were marginally better than those of its main rival, the Ferrari F40. The Diablo though, was not a limited-edition model like the latter but a series-production car with a luxuriously appointed interior reflecting its designers' intention to produce a civilised Gran Turismo as suited to city streets as motorways and fast A-roads. Four-wheel drive Diablo VT and Targa-style open roadster versions soon followed.When Automobili Lamborghini was purchased in 1998 by the VW Group subsidiary, Audi AG, Lamborghini’s famous 60° V12 engine – utilised for almost 50 years - continued undergoing constant upgrades, growing from 5.7-litres to the final displacement of 6.5-litres found in the Murciélago LP670-4 Superveloce. Audi extensively reworked the Diablo, with fixed headlamps plus an increase in engine size to 6-litres with numerous changes under the skin.In 2001, at the Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini announced the production of a final run of 42 cars (with car #42 now in the Lamborghini Museum). These SE (Special Edition) versions of the already massively upgraded VT 6.0 were available finished in Oro Elios or Marrone Eklipsis to represent sunrise and sunset, and featured many mechanical upgrades. Other changes included a new magnesium intake manifold, short-ratio transmission, special upholstery treatment, Lamborghini-badged brake calipers, comprehensive road map software in the navigation system, and enhanced carbon fibre interior trim.The resultant Diablo VT 6.0 SE Coupé four-wheel drive supercar is powered by the 6-litre V12 and features an aluminium-alloy block, aluminium alloy/magnesium heads, chain driven DOHC per bank, intake variable valve timing and a magnesium intake manifold resulting in 550bhp @ 7,100rpm and 422ft/lb @ 5,500rpm. This fabulous power unit sits in a high-strength, tubular spaceframe with carbon fibre components, clothed in aluminium alloy, carbon fibre and fibreglass-reinforced bodywork and sits on lightweight magnesium alloy wheels. Comparitively light at 1,675kg (not much more than the svelte Gallardo coupé), the SE offered 0-62mph in 3.95 seconds on its way to 205mph.The right-hand drive SE presented here is #9 of the 42 produced, dates from 2001 and is finished in 'Oro Elios' or Gold Helios (Helios was one of the Titans, son of Hyperion and Theia and was the personification of the Sun). It was delivered new to Hong Kong, where it formed part of a significant Collection and was stored and maintained to the highest standards prior to being imported into the UK (with all taxes paid) and registered Y453 FBA. Benefiting from a thorough inspection/service at Lamborghini Tunbridge Wells (27th December 2023), this immaculate modern-classic supercar has covered an almost-inconceivably low 564 miles from new. It is as special as you would wish it to be, in superbly unused and beautifully preserved condition, the epitome of ‘collector-quality’.Striking in its design, specification and colour combination, this Diablo VT 6.0 SE Coupé is absolutely what a supercar should be and represents a unique position in the Lamborghini timeline. Retaining some of the dramatic design language that harked back to the Countach, whilst utilising the glorious old-guard V12 (albeit evolved/updated), but with the subtle reassurance of Audi’s yet-to-be dominant influence on improving reliability, electronics and usability and before there was a fundamental (but maybe not better) change in the model’s aesthetics.The last of the line, run-out model of any significant car is desirable, but when it’s one of only 42 examples produced worldwide, features a legendary 550bhp normally-aspirated V12 and has covered just over 500 miles from new, it takes ‘desirable’ to the next level.An opportunity like this is incredibly rare and Iconic Auctioneers are extremely proud to offer this car to market. Don’t miss it, this is an important motor car and worthy of any significant Collection.Interesting extra reading to be found here: Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 VT | PH Heroes - PistonHeads UKSpecification Make: LAMBORGHINI Model: DIABLO VT 6.0 SE COUPÉ Year: 2001 Chassis Number: ZA9DE01A01LA12818 Registration Number: Y453 FBA Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 564 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

The final limited edition of the long-lived R129 series named after Mercedes' legendary racers of the late-1930s and mid-1950s. One of only 100 UK-cars. The fourth generation SL, denominated the R129, was launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1989. The beautifully engineered roadster was based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell and its sophisticated all-round independent suspension was complemented by a host of active and passive safety features including: electronic stability control, ventilated ABS disc brakes, adaptive-damping shock absorbers, front airbags and an integral rollover bar that deployed in less than a third of a second if the car ever sensed an impending flip.The cabin was exceptionally well built, covered by a fully automated power hood, and featured such luxuries as memory seats, electric windows/mirrors and an adjustable steering column. Yet, lurking beneath all the luxury and refinement, was a performance-focused 'grand tourer'.The SL500 was powered by Mercedes' four-valves per cylinder, dual-overhead camshaft, 5-litre V8 producing 326bhp and 332lb/ft of torque, mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission as standard in the later cars. With 0-60mph dispatched in 6.3 seconds and topping out in excess of 150mph, the SL500 was no slouch, shaming some out and out sports cars of the period, whilst the driver relaxed in their luxurious cabin.With the R129 having been in production between 1989 and 2002, the limited edition SL500 Silver Arrow was released for two major reasons; to mark the end of production of a model that had been particularly successful worldwide and, more importantly, to pay homage to not just one of the greatest Mercedes-Benz Works drivers, but one of the greatest drivers of all time, Sir Stirling Moss OBE. The special edition Silver Arrow boasted a unique specification which included Silver Arrow ‘777’ paintwork, black/silver Nappa leather upholstery, AMG body styling, bespoke 18" multi-piece alloy wheels, silver brake callipers, chrome-sheen aluminium exterior trim, illuminated door sills, ‘engine-turned’ aluminium instrument and gearshift surrounds and Bird’s-Eye Maple Black wood trim. Only 100 special-edition SL500 Silver Arrow cars were allocated to the UK-market.Dating from 2001, LC51 ELX is one of those 100 UK Silver Arrows and was first registered on 20th September 2001. The car presents exceptionally well, having covered a modest and warranted 59,000 miles from new in the hands of its three former keepers. In March 2024, the car benefited from a service and MOT by a marque specialist, which it passed with 'No Advisories'.This Silver Arrow is a wonderful example, complemented by a reassuringly large history file showcasing the level of care and maintenance lavished upon it. Within the history file is the original owners book pack wallet containing the owner’s manual, supplementary manuals and stamped service book which displays ten entries, all completed by specialists, with an additional service invoice alongside. In addition to the official documentation, there is a plethora of old MOT Certificates, numerous previous invoices, a selection of former tax discs, ‘Own A Limited Edition Mercedes SL’ sales literature and two sets of keys.Limited edition Mercedes-Benz have been appreciating rapidly in front of our eyes and this wonderful Silver Arrows represents serious value and would look at home anywhere you park it, particularly at motoring events where the connection with the late Sir Stirling Moss OBE is always appreciated.Specification Make: MERCEDES-BENZ Model: R129 SL500 Year: 2001 Chassis Number: WDB1290682F204658 Registration Number: LC51 ELX Transmission: Automatic Engine Number: 11396130305574 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 59000 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Looking fabulous in Cosmos Blue, this one owner from new Griffith has covered just over 10,000 miles. With the introduction of the Griffith in 1991, Blackpool-based sports car manufacturer, TVR, resurrected one of their great model names from its past. The first Griffith of the 1960s had been a lightweight and compact coupé powered by a 4.7-litre Ford V8 engine, a combination that made for seriously exciting motoring. Considerably more refined than its predecessor yet even faster, the new Griffith was a sleek open roadster powered by the Rover V8 engine in various capacities. The multi-tubular backbone chassis was a short-wheelbase development of the Tuscan race-car's and thus the Griffith came with wide-base, unequal-length wishbone suspension all round. The top speed of the popular 4.3-litre version was around 160mph and it was relatively affordable, so it was hardly surprising that TVR was swamped by orders when the production car debuted at London's Motorfair in October 1991. The fact that it accelerated faster than a Ferrari Testarossa or Porsche 911 Turbo, models costing many times as much, did nothing to hinder sales, which were further boosted by the build quality: the Griffith was easily the best-built car TVR had ever produced. The model's final flourish was the even faster Griffith 500, introduced in August 1993, which was powered by a 5-litre version of the Rover V8 producing 325bhp.Finished in Cosmos Blue metallic with a Grey half-hide interior, this superb Griffith 500 was purchased new on 1st June 1996 by our vendor from the TVR Centre in Barnet and has remained in single ownership ever since covering an incredible 10,120 miles in that time. The car remains in simply delightful condition having been cosseted by our vendor from Day one. We quote from his notes to us;'This car has been kept in an air-conditioned garage for all its life and has only left there whilst being driven. It has seen rain just twice in its life! It has been stored in there and been on SORN for the last seven years and has only recently come out of hibernation to have a 6,000 mile service and MOT with a TVR specialist that has looked after this car for many years.The car has had very few problems in its life and those that it has have been very minor. It has completed just under 10,120 miles and has covered just under 800 miles in the last 11 years.It is virtually 100% original and even has the same tyres on as the day it came out of the Blackpool factory. It comes also with the original two TVR key sets, the original owners hand book and much paperwork that includes a faxed copy of the original invoice, 20 tax discs going back to 1997, MOT Certificates (going back to the very first), original TVR Griffith Brochures, service history and much more combined within a large A4 folder'It will come to sale with a fresh MOT until July 2025 issued with 'No Advisories’ and recent service.A mid-1990s Griffith 500 in this condition with this mileage and one owner from new is a rare find, the ‘Holy Grail’ perhaps, and we encourage your inspection at our Silverstone Festival Sale. Specification Make: TVR Model: GRIFFITH 500 Year: 1996 Chassis Number: SDLDGC5PXTE011536 Registration Number: N588 JLM Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 37A50P3873 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 10120 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

A rare and desirable 'First Series' short-door Spider in outstanding condition following a $130,000 restoration by VRM in the US. Alfa Romeo's Giulietta Spider was among the many fruitful ideas of Max Hoffman, the astute and influential importer whose keen understanding of the American market birthed legends like the Porsche 356 Speedster, Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, BMW 507, and introduced the Volkswagen Beetle to the USA. Hoffman counted Alfa Romeo in his portfolio and he persuaded the firm to offer a new two-seat Spider variant of the superb new mid-sized Giulietta, explicitly geared for American tastes with a new Pininfarina-penned body. His instincts proved correct, and the Giulietta, particularly in high-performance Veloce specification, spawned multiple generations of beloved open-topped Alfas.It was powered by a 65bhp1,290cc four-cylinder fuelled by a single Solex carburettor and featured two chain-driven overhead CAMSHAFTS. The Spider was rear-wheel drive with drum brakes on all four wheels and the front suspension was independent with deformable wishbones, coil springs, hydraulic telescopic dampers and an anti-roll bar. The rear suspension was a traditional rigid axle, guided by longitudinal arms and reaction triangle, again with coil springs and hydraulic telescopic dampers. In 1956, they produced the so-called 'first series' (series '750 D in the 'normal' version and '750 F' in the 'Veloce') and in late 1958, the ‘second series’ was introduced with a number of changes including a lengthened wheelbase, however nowadays, the Giulietta Spider 'Passo Corto' (short door) models are the most desired and sought after amongst collectors.On offer here is an absolutely stunning 'first-series' Giulietta Spider Veloce (750F) that, according to its 'Certifcato do Origine', was produced on 31st July 1958 and was destined for the US-market (New York). Its current, UK-based owner is a true classic car connoisseur with decades worth of owning and collecting experience and he was attracted to this particular car as it was a 'short-door', finished in his favourite colour (Mouse Grey) and was owned by the knowledgeable and much-respected Jim Sullivan, Chairman of the Pacific North West Alfa Club. After his purchase in 2015, our vendor commissioned Vintage Racing Motors (VRM) to carry out a full restoration which they did over a period of time. The whole process was photo documented and the car is unquestionably finished to a higher standard than when it left the factory. The appropriate invoices remain in the file and total around  $130,000, meaning that our vendor's investment in this remarkable little Giulietta amounts to over $200,000.In the interest of pure driving pleasure, a period-correct 5-speed gearbox was fitted at the time, however the original 'tunnel' gearbox is included with the car and available to inspect at Silverstone over The Festival weekend. Once the work was finished, the Alfa was sent here to the UK, registered in 2021 and has been enjoyed immensely. It will be serviced by marque specialist Chris Robinson prior to the sale.  This is a unique opportunity to acquire a rare Alfa Romeo that has been restored to an extraordinary standard and we encourage interested parties to come and see the car at Silverstone. It will not disappoint.Specification Make: ALFA ROMEO Model: GIULIETTA SPIDER VELOCE Year: 1959 Chassis Number: 149504580 Registration Number: GKZ 25 Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 131531574 Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 72372 KM Make: Only LHD Interior Colour: Red leatherClick here for more details and images

This may be as good as it gets - British Racing Green, tan leather, chrome wires and an inch-perfect restoration with input from Jaguar restoration royalty. This Jaguar Racing Green XK150 3.4 Drophead Coupé with tan interior and black hood was originally exported to the United State of America through Jaguar Cars in New York before, many years later in July 1989, being purchased by the present owner through a German dealer, sight unseen and ripe for restoration.Once the Jaguar arrived in the UK and the import papers were processed, work commenced with a total strip down to a bare chassis. Its new owner was clear that he wanted a very presentable but at the same time totally useable XK and carried out extensive research to ensure that the rebuild was carried out correctly and as required by the correct people. Now sensibly converted to right-hand drive format, the result is the superb specimen offered here today. Clearly cherished since and correctly maintained as required, it's been enjoyed on many long European trips and remains in outstanding order throughout.It's accompanied by an extensive history file detailing the purchase, import, rebuild and its subsequent trips throughout the UK and Europe, all beautifully detailed in page after page of handwritten notes which so rarely happens today. With invoices on file from the likes of VSE, Guy Broad, MWS International and others together with a photographic record of the build, it's clear to see the effort that's been made to, not only produce an outstanding Classic Jaguar, but also one that's had input from the right people.Now ready for its next custodian, to be used as intended out on the open road, but would be equally as happy at your local ‘noggin and natter’.Specification Make: JAGUAR Model: XK150 DHC Year: 1957 Chassis Number: S837165 Registration Number: VSK 423 Transmission: Manual Engine Number: VS267 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: Magnolia HideClick here for more details and images

Fully restored and exceptionally well presented, this impressive, left-hand drive, 2.8-litre Pagoda has benefitted from significant expenditure during current ownership. Finished in silver with a navy blue leather interior, blue hood and body-coloured hardtop, this left-hand drive manual 4-speed 280SL is difficult to criticise in any way. Not only does it look outstanding, it's also extremely impressive out on the open road. Delivered originally to San Diego in 1969, it clearly led an interesting and well documented life and was used as intended which, in time, necessitated some attention to the bodywork and mechanical aspects of the car.Located by our client on his travels in the early 1990s, it ticked all the boxes on his wish list and was subsequently imported into the UK in 1992 prior to being pressed into action and modified as required for long-distance rallies, at home and all over Europe.The passage of time brought about the eventual need for a complete strip down and rebuild. Overseen by its retired engineer owner, who understood what goes into making a good car even better, this included a full body refurbishment which, once stripped, was found to be exceptionally sound with little to no corrosion. All mechanical aspects were next on the list with the engine being stripped and fully balanced, the gearbox rebuilt and the final drive overhauled with a longer diff ratio for more relaxing cruising. The recommissioning however, did not stop there but also included a full retrim in navy blue leather, new glass and trims, a stainless steel exhaust system, new chrome work, 'Mexican Hat' alloys and so the list goes on.The car is accompanied by a comprehensive history file that includes a photographic record of the rebuild, detailed invoices from America and further invoices from its UK restoration with paperwork from some of the best people in the Mercedes world including Roger Edwards Motors, O’Keefe Restorations who handled the final assembly, Nuneaton Fine Finishing and Jacksons of Bournemouth. Also included is a genuine Mercedes Parts book, an original period sales brochure and the original set of steel wheels with refurbished trims.Specification Make: MERCEDES Model: 280 SL Year: 1969 Chassis Number: 11304410007550 Registration Number: BAN 123G Transmission: Manual Engine Number: TBA Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Make: LHD Interior Colour: Blue HideClick here for more details and images

Commissioned by the Arrows F1 team and upgraded by Brooklyn Ford. Believed to be one of just ten cars from a planned run of 25 and just two UK keepers from new. Seriously rare. The Escort RS Cosworth is a unique motor car and the high regard for a 'good one' in the Performance Ford market of today, which we know a little about, requires a trip back in time to the mid-1990s for some historical context. The Escort RS Cosworth was often the enthusiast’s first proper car, usually a pre-marital extravagance and bought new after a succession of rather ropey performance cars. There was, however, a snag. An inherited condition that stalled the aspirations of the many who could afford the asking price, insurance companies hated Fords with an RS badge. Bought, therefore, by underwriter-friendly older drivers for daily commutes and those cars which did survive enthusiastic drivers, whether insured or not, usually clocked up high mileages or were subject to modifications by subsequent owners. Very rarely a car was bought and kept for Sunday best and as values rose, these careful owners became custodians of valuable motor cars, none more rare than this very special motor car.The Arrows Grand Prix International team was founded in Milton Keynes in November 1977 by Italian businessman Franco Ambrosio, Alan Rees, former racing driver Jackie Oliver, Dave Wass and Tony Southgate (the team deriving its name from the initials of their surnames) when they left the Shadow team. The team was formed and appeared on the grid for their first race at the 1978 Brazilian Grand Prix, all within three months. The following decades saw controversy and moderate success and Japanese businessman Wataru Ohashi invested in Arrows in 1990 and Jackie Oliver sold his shares in the team to Ohashi, but remained as Team Principal. The 1994 season was the most competitive showing, with several points finishes gained, including a double points finish in Germany.Seeing a market for limited edition car with strong Japanese ties, the Arrows F1 Team commissioned Brooklyn Ford Motorsport to supply and modify a planned run of 25 cars for the Japanese market with graphics to emulate the 1995 Footwork FA16-Hart V8 driven by Taki Inoue, Morbidelli and Papis. The reprogrammed engine management boosted power to around 265bhp, up 40bhp over the standard car.Of the planned run, just ten cars were believed to have been built and most were shipped to Japan. However, this car, #003 with its full Lux Pack of leather interior and sunroof, was first supplied new to the UK, as per the Brooklyn Ford paperwork in the detailed history file. Registered to the first of just two keepers on 29th September 1995. Car #003 gained its now famous registration number, 236 WVO, on 6th November 1996 and it remains with the car.Extensively photographed at various shows, it featured in a magazine commemorating the 25th Anniversary of the Escort RS Cosworth with a byline asking '…is this the rarest Cosworth of them all?'. Presented to auction with an unused toolkit, the original handbook folder, a bespoke scale model of the car together with Sergio Tacchini sportswear. The detailed history file includes reams of receipts, V5C and an advisory free MOT Certificate issued in July at 34,507 miles.Specification Make: FORD Model: ESCORT RS COSWORTH Year: 1995 Chassis Number: WF0BXXGKABSY90386 Registration Number: 236 WVO Transmission: Manual Engine Number: SY90386 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 34510 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

An original UK, right-hand drive, manual gearbox 190 SL fully rebuilt from a bare shell and superbly finished in Opalescent Blue. During the 1950s, when Mercedes-Benz were the dominant force in top-level motorsport, the undisputed flagship of the firm’s production car range was the stunning 300SL sports car. Highly desirable as it was, it was also financially out of the reach of most enthusiasts. Keen to capitalise on the 300 SL’s numerous competition successes and find a foothold in the increasingly lucrative sports car market, Mercedes-Benz introduced its smaller stablemate, the equally beautifully engineered 190 SL. The 190 SL was powered by a new, slightly over-square, 1.9-litre straight-four SOHC engine that developed 120bhp with twin-choke dual Solex carburettors and when mated with a 4-speed manual gearbox, endowed the sleek aerodynamic and comparatively light roadster with a top speed of 115mph and a respectable 0-60 time of 13 seconds. The fact that the 190's ride was more 'boulevard' than sporting and that many contemporary sports cars could out-perform it while costing a good deal less did nothing to deter sales. The 190 SL cemented Mercedes-Benz's reputation as the car manufacturer for those who wanted elegance, build quality and a good turn of speed and unsurprisingly, most of the 26,000 units were sold to the North American market, with some 562 arriving in the UK in right-hand drive.Offered from long term ownership with a full restoration completed some nine years ago, this original UK, right-hand drive Mercedes 190 SL has had the benefit of being fully rebuilt from a bare shell with the bodywork superbly refinished in Opalescent Blue by PF Autos of Stoke on Trent. Redcastle Classics Ltd, Mercedes Specialists, based in Caerphilly, were entrusted with a complete engine overhaul including new pistons, liners and balanced crankshaft all breathing through twin Weber 40 DCIOE carburettors. Additional upgrades included a fully recommissioned steering box, an alternator upgrade and a fully refurbished drivetrain illustrating that this clearly was a no expense spared exercise. Internally, the same attention to detail continued with a full Burgundy leather interior and replacement carpets as required, all beautifully highlighted by the distinctive padded dashboard with an abundance of period chrome details such as the horn ring and courtesy light and the Bakelite steering wheel and gear knob.The car is accompanied by a comprehensive history file containing numerous bills and invoices and a photographic record of the extensive refurbishment. This is a lovely example of these late-1950s Continental Roadsters and would be welcome in any Collection or, as was obviously the intention, very much at home out on the open road with numerous trophy-winning outings covering the UK and even longer road trips to Classic Le Mans already under its belt. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the charismatic styling that truly epitomised the bright sense of optimism and 'anything is possible' feeling that pervaded Western Europe ten years after the end of hostilities.Specification Make: MERCEDES Model: 190 SL Year: 1956 Chassis Number: R121042650361 Registration Number: DEY 202 Transmission: Manual Engine Number: TBC Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: Red HideClick here for more details and images

Only 75 examples were ever made for the UK-market and these delightful drivers' cars are seemingly undervalued given their desirable status as the ultimate 924. Volkswagen's decision not to proceed with their designed-by-Porsche 914 replacement led to the latter taking on the project themselves. Launched in November 1975, the resulting 924 drew heavily on Volkswagen/Audi components: the 2-litre, four-cylinder, overhead-camshaft engine being a development of the Audi 100's, and the 4-speed transaxle a VW unit. A 5-speed Porsche-designed gearbox and improvements to the suspension were early developments and in 1978 came the first truly high-performance 924 - the Turbo. The latter's extra 45bhp raised the top speed to around 150mph and this figure would be further improved upon by the 924 Carrera GT. A road model with competition potential, the luxuriously equipped Carrera GT was launched at the 1979 Frankfurt Show. Easily distinguishable from lesser 924s by virtue of its bonnet air intake and widened wheel arches, the Carrera GT was built in limited numbers - only 406 were made - 400 cars being the minimum requirement to gain homologation for rallying and 'Group 4' events. The standard version came with 210bhp but this could be boosted to well over 300bhp for racing. Three cars were entered by the works in the 1980 Le Mans 24-Hour Race, finishing sixth, 12th and 13th.Offered here is a UK-supplied 924 Carrera GT sold by Maltin Car Concessionaires Ltd in February 1981, its first owners having specified the C-16 (UK-spec) GT in Guards Red with a black leatherette and black/red pinstripe interior. Options included headlamp washers, electric door mirrors, rear window wiper, sport steering wheel, sport shocks, electric windows, 911-type forged alloy wheels and air-conditioning.On offer from a private Collection of landmark Porsches from all eras, our knowledgeable vendor sourced this example from a specialist dealer in 2015 to form part of his garage. Since 2015, it has been correctly dry-stored and maintained impeccably by highly regarded marque specialists, Autofarm. Within the extensive history file are invoices that outline significant investment for works that appear to amount to a mechanical refresh.The beautifully presented history file includes a copy of the original factory spec, complete ownership history, MOTs dating back to 1985, tax discs, a wealth of invoices for maintenance over the years, the book pack including the original service book, current V5C and various other documents.This rare and exciting Porsche is presented to auction absolutely up to date, having just been checked over and serviced by Autofarm on 28th June 2024 with a fresh MOT valid until July 2025. This is a great opportunity to take ownership of a rarely seen Porsche that is guaranteed to attract all the right attention at any classic car event.Specification Make: PORSCHE Model: 924 Year: 1981 Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ93ZBN700247 Registration Number: AGT 639W Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 31500263 Odometer Reading: 69000 Miles Make: Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Finished in Strato Silver, fresh from an impressive three year nut and bolt restoration and one of the very best we have seen. Since its first appearance in 1971 (on the Mk1 Escort), 'RS', for 'Rally Sport' has been associated with Ford's most performance orientated models.One of the most exciting models in the Escort Mk3 range was the XR3 (later XR3i), a high-performance derivative powered by a tuned version of the new 1.6-litre CVH overhead-camshaft engine. It was the XR3 that provided the basis for the fuel-injected RS1600i, which was one of the first designs developed by Ford's newly instigated Special Vehicle Engineering department (SVE).The Ford Escort RS1600i was built purely to meet 'Group A' homologation regulations. The RS1600i was based on the XR3 but featured fuel-injection - several months before that car - and more body addenda to differentiate itself from the series production car it was based upon.On offer here is a UK-supplied right-hand drive RS1600i finished in Strato Silver and was first registered in May 1983. Our private vendor bought the car in 2020 and since his purchase it has been the subject of a comprehensive restoration with the whole car stripped back to a bare shell before being repainted inside and out. Almost every component was either refurbished, rebuilt, repainted, or replaced. Many NOS parts were sourced and when replacements were unavailable, original items were reconditioned to an as-new finish.Mechanically, the car was treated to a rebuild of the engine and gearbox and the underside was also refreshed with the addition of new shocks and a Quicksilver stainless exhaust. The vendor informs us he’s spent around £50,000 on parts alone, even before taking his time working on the car (he did 80% of the work) into account.The accompanying history file contains an original Ford document wallet with handbooks, an original RS1600i sales brochure, a raft of MOT Certificates and invoices dating right back to 1983 and the V5C showing eight former keepers. The mileage, at the time of cataloguing, was just over 105,000 which is pretty academic when you think of the work this car has recently enjoyed.In summary, this is one of the best examples we have seen and it would sit well in any serious Ford Collection. When you consider the recent investment, this fabulous RS1600i appears to offer excellent value for money.Specification Make: FORD Model: ESCORT RS1600I Year: 1983 Chassis Number: WF0BXXGCABDE87486 Registration Number: BPE 211Y Transmission: Manual Engine Number: DE87486 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: Shark Grey MaterialClick here for more details and images

A UK-supplied, right-hand drive example equipped with the rare and desirable gated, 6-speed, manual gearbox. Successor to the Diablo as Lamborghini's flagship model, the Murciélago 'hypercar' was introduced in 2001 for the 2002 model year and like its forebears was named after a famous fighting bull. The Murciélago was Lamborghini's first new design for 11 years and also the Italian company's first since its acquisition by the Volkswagen Group's Audi division in 1998. Audi's input ensured that build quality was of the highest whilst, with classic Teutonic efficiency, the manufacturing time was cut from the Diablo's 500 hours to a more financially viable, 300. Major features, identified as synonymous with the Lamborghini brand, formed the basis of the design including a mid-mounted V12 engine, cab-forward layout, scissor-action doors and all-wheel drive. Styled by Lamborghini's head of design, Luc Donckerwolke, the angular coupé was remarkably low, boasting a roof height of just under 1.2 metres and featured distinctive doors that swung upwards and forwards when opened. A combination of carbon fibre, steel and aluminium was used for the chassis/body, while the suspension featured the conventional supercar set-up of double wishbones all round. The Murciélago's power unit was a longitudinally-mounted 6.2-litre V12, an engine that could trace its ancestry back to the very first Lamborghini of 1964. As installed in the Murciélago, this formidable power unit produced 572bhp, transmitted to the tarmac through a 6-speed manual gearbox, four-wheel drive and acres of bespoke rubber. An active rear wing, active air intakes which deployed automatically when required and further state-of-the-art ‘aero’ helped keep the Murciélago stable at its c.200mph top speed.On offer here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive example that was first registered on the 26th March 2004 and boasts the desirable gated manual gearbox. Finished in striking Giallo Orion, one of three shades of yellow available in 2004, it has been enjoyed by two previous keepers before joining our vendor’s Collection in 2007. A 'bottom-end' rebuild was carried out by BHP Performance in 2012 and the car has been in storage since then, with the odometer currently reading 59,346 miles.Consequently, after some 12 years of storage, interested parties will need to factor in that the car will require some recommissioning and that is reflected in the competitive estimate when you consider it’s a UK-supplied, manual gearbox car. Our vendor has confirmed that it has benefited from some recent mechanical attention including 12 coil packs, spark plugs, fuel filter, fuel pump and oil and filters and the car now starts and drives. The vendor acknowledges that the new owner may well need to invest in tyres, brakes, a full service etc. before road use, considering the period the car has been off the road.We therefore encourage and welcome interested parties to make the journey to Silverstone to see the car and fully satisfy themselves as to what work may be required to return this glamorous V12 Lamborghini to top form.Specification Make: LAMBORGHINI Model: MURCIÉLAGO Year: 2004 Chassis Number: ZHWBE16M04LA01020 Registration Number: LJ04 MVC Transmission: Manual Engine Number: L53501042 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 59346 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

On offer from the Focus on Ford Collection, a delivery mileage, single ownership Focus RS Mk1 in exceptional condition. In 2002, Ford launched the Focus RS, returning those famous letters to one of its cars for the first time since the Ford Escort RS Cosworth. The new Focus RS was inspired by Colin McRae's WRC rally exploits and featured a 2-litre Duratec RS engine with an advanced turbocharging system and oil-spray cooled pistons to achieve more power - which eventually peaked at 215bhp and 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds. The chassis was developed and a Quaife torque-biasing differential (when you turned into a corner and applied the power, it dug in like no other front-drive car to make the Focus remarkably quick across country) fitted to ensure optimal front-wheel drive tractability. Suspension was by uprated offset coil springs with Sachs Racing dampers whilst stopping power was provided by Brembo brakes. The cabin was competition-inspired and featured leather and Alcantara Sparco seats. Only sold in Imperial Blue, the exterior shared many styling cues with its rally sibling and even used custom 18'' O.Z. Racing alloy wheels.Making the Focus RS this good on back roads meant changing almost every component. In the end, the roof, doors and bonnet remained the same as any other three-door Focus, but the rest of the exterior bodywork was new. In all, 521 parts were created just for the Focus RS, from the Sparco seats and handbrake lever, unique dials and starter button to the suspension and brakes. Ford built 4,501 Focus RS Mk1s, all individually numbered and all thought to have been sold at a £4,000 loss to the company. Out of that total, 2,147 RS Mk1s were sold in the UK, making it by far the biggest single market, and although the car may still split drivers' views, what isn’t in doubt is that this is now a prized modern classic.The gleaming 2003 Focus RS Mk 1 on offer here is finished in Imperial Blue, as they all were, with the Sparco front seats trimmed in contrasting black and blue leather with Alcantara inserts. The rear seats are similarly trimmed and the handbrake and gear knob are finished in machined aluminium. The interior is further enhanced by the addition of carbon fibre to the gear stick surround and the door cards have blue-trimmed inserts. The odometer reading when the car was consigned indicated 13 miles from new although this may go up slightly as the car is moved around the sale.The Performance Fords on offer today from the Focus on Ford Collection have remained in storage for a number of years but, despite having only covered delivery mileage, our vendors took the sensible decision to bring them to sale in the very best condition possible and ready to drive away. Their recommissioning has been carried out by the respected Tremona Garage of Southampton and has involved a meticulous inspection of each car, commencing with a check for contamination of fuel. Subsequently the engine oil and filter were changed, spark plugs changed, air, pollen and fuel filters replaced, gearbox oil replaced, as well as the cambelt, idler and tensioner being replaced. The alternator belt was replaced and brake fluid and anti-freeze renewed. Only genuine Ford parts were used. Checks were also carried out on the fuel pumps and ECUs, the brake system and all electrics were tested, and new batteries were fitted in the cars as well as in the keys.Finally, once satisfied that the car was ready to be driven, they have been sensitively valeted to maintain the 'fresh from the showroom' look, so factory stickers and plastic trim covers remain in place and the cars have been cleaned to a standard one might expect at initial delivery. However, it will not have a current MOT as our vendor has chosen not to register the car on the MOT system, leaving that decision to its new owner.Specification Make: FORD Model: FOCUS RS Year: 2003 Chassis Number: WF0BXXGCDB3S85093 Registration Number: TB53 FRS Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 16 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black Blue Leather and AlcantaraClick here for more details and images

A rare UK-supplied survivor and worthy of The Stuttgart Collection due to its condition and service record, at No Reserve it deserves attention. The Stuttgart Collection is a carefully curated selection of cars that were once part of a larger, private, UK-based Mercedes-Benz museum. The cars presented to auction offer a unique opportunity to own arguably the best examples available in today’s market. From the fabulous 500SL delivered new to Sir Stirling Moss himself with a later Mercedes F1 starring role to the modest 230 E saloon at a tantalising No Reserve, each car is on the button with unrivalled history files that detail the diligent maintenance from new.The Mercedes-Benz W123 was a range of executive cars produced by Mercedes-Benz from November 1975 to January 1986. The W123 surpassed its predecessor, the  W114, as the most successful Mercedes ever, at the time, selling 2.7 million units before production ended in the autumn of 1985 for the saloon versions and January 1986 for coupés and estates/station wagons. Following a slow production build-up during the first year, customers who placed their orders faced a lengthy waiting period of nine to twelve months and a black market emerged for customers who were willing to pay more for immediate delivery.Like its predecessors, the W123 gained the reputation of being well built and reliable, many taxi companies chose the W123, and they were a common sight in Germany. Reaching 500,000 or even 1,000,000km with only minor mechanical issues was common with taxicabs. Once the W123 reached the end of its service life, they were often shipped to Africa and third world countries where they were highly esteemed for their ability to travel on rough roads and to not require frequent maintenance.Finished in Light Ivory  with a Henna Red velour interior and first registered on the 5th August 1985, this impressive 230E is mated to a delightful 4-speed manual gearbox which drives through its original ‘Mexican Hat’ alloy wheels lined with new Continental tyres. The body and underside are free of structural rust, the paintwork presents very well and the interior is delightful. Mechanically the car is sound and performs wonderfully on the road. The history file contains the vehicle's service booklet, complete with at least ten Mercedes-Benz stamps amongst other specialist garages. Recent remedial works include a new starter motor, all new tyres, battery and a new exhaust system.Presented to auction at No Reserve with an odometer reading of 81,176 miles this is a rare opportunity for those wanting a stylish useable classic with a timeless look and analogue electronics.Specification Make: MERCEDES Model: W123 E Year: 1985 Chassis Number: WDB1232232A260600 Registration Number: C543 GOA Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 10298020177429 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 81200 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Henna Red VelourClick here for more details and images

This 4.2-litre Coupé, a charming, older restored example finished in Warwick Grey with a red leather interior, is offered without Reserve. Jaguar continued to develop the E-Type throughout its life and the first results of this programme of improvements were introduced in 1964 when the newly enlarged 4.2-litre XK engine was installed. Maximum power remained unchanged at 265bhp, however torque was usefully increased which, combined with the arrival of a fully synchronised Moss gearbox and more consistent fuel flow from the twin SU petrol pumps, contributed greatly to smooth progress.The Series 2 of 1968 was a further quantum leap with an improved cooling system and better Girling brakes addressing those less than endearing Series I characteristics of getting too hot and not being able to stop. The Series 2 also introduced several design changes, largely due to US Federal legislation and the most noted exterior features are the open headlights, a larger grille opening, re-positioned and larger front indicators and rear lights below the bumpers. The 4.2-litre XK straight-six now featured ribbed cam-covers, whilst inside there were better seats with headrests, new switchgear and the ignition switch was now on the steering column.Dating from 1971, the chassis number on this right-hand drive Series 2 Coupé indicates that it was one of the last few dozen S2 Coupés built, immediately prior to the arrival of the Series 3. We understand that it was subject to a bodywork restoration in the early 2000s and refinished in Warwick Grey although the red leather interior appears to be original. The history file contains a photographic record of the restoration.The Jaguar was purchased by our vendor in 2013 and there is an invoice in the file from Bishops of Peterborough dated 30th September 2013 covering various items including the fitting of a flat-bottomed Moto-Lita steering wheel and boss (£276) to make getting in and out easier. Bishops have continued to look after the car and there are a further three invoices in the file from them totalling £3,023.This is a charming example of a late-production S 2, nicely mellowed with an original interior and is on offer without Reserve. Running and driving, it wouldn't need much to take it to the next level and is well worth your close inspection.Specification Make: JAGUAR Model: E-TYPE Year: 1971 Chassis Number: 1R21040 Registration Number: AGG 182J Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 7R14203-8 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 15063 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Red leatherClick here for more details and images

The subject of an exacting 3-year restoration to create, arguably, a better-than-new car; over £50,000 and hundreds of hours invested by our ex-Ford Technician vendor. Simply remarkable! The car presented here is a 1985 Escort RS Turbo Custom Series 1 which has been the subject of a quite remarkable restoration, making it one of the most ‘as new’ (and improved) modern-classic Fords we have ever seen.The car's ownership continuity is well-documented, it being supplied via McCarthy Cars (Ford) of Croydon on the 18th July 1990 to owner Mr Oakley of Cockfosters; he subsequently sold it on, in late 1993/early 1994, to Mr Ramsey of Swanley, who kept it until the 14th June 1996, selling it to Mr Jeremy Palling (a close friend of our vendor’s) of Crawley. Mr Palling then dry-stored the car in his garage from August 2002 before selling it on the 27th April 2017 to our vendor who had coveted his friend’s RS Turbo for many years, it being the ‘poster car’ of his youth. He eagerly MOT’d and drove it for a short time, before becoming increasingly aware of just how special, solid and original an example it was – the ideal candidate, he concluded, for an uncompromised, no-item-too-small, money no object, all-in restoration! – and this is an understatement.He says: “The car needed to be like I was walking into a Ford showroom in 1985 to buy it, only I wanted to take advantage of some of the automotive developments which have taken place in the 40 years since it was built. I would describe the car today as OEM-plus - how Ford would have produced it had modern-day materials been available.”And so it began, one of the most impressive projects we have seen, lasting over 3 years (concluding in July 2024) and with over £50,000 invested, the car is easily one of the best RS Turbos we have offered for sale. Our vendor continues: "I had planned a full, total and no expense spared restoration of every component and began sourcing and collecting new old stock Ford parts. Having had plenty of these RS Turbos when I was younger, and having carried out my apprenticeship at Hancock Ford in Horsham (formerly Gilbert Rice from 1991 to 1995), I knew these cars inside out.”He says: “By the 19th March 2021 the time had come to commence the restoration. I took the car to my home workshop and commenced the strip down. The car did not look to have been ‘got at’ much in previous years and you could tell that this was the first time many areas of the car had been apart or touched since it was built in 1985. I photographically documented every part coming off the car as I wanted the rebuild to be factory-correct right down to every clip, nut, bolt and screw. The complete, photographic, documented restoration was completed in July 2024.Rather than zero the mileage at this point, which I feel ‘muddies the waters’ somewhat, I have put together these history files to demonstrate the cars ‘as new’ condition at this date and also provide this vital information to future custodians. I used many technical reference guides, manuals and drawings to cross reference exactly how everything should be to make sure it is presented and stays correct. Within this cars documentation you will find genuine Ford Escort Technicians Information guides 1, 2 & 3 along with a copy of Ford’s Escort RS Turbo Supplementary Technicians Workshop Manual (incl. a CD disc of it)”For all the exacting details of this extremely special RS Ford, please see here: Escort RS Turbo V2.0.pdfThis highly collectable car is accompanied by a vast history file documenting its restoration, background and ownership. Definitely one for the collector! What a car.

A superb example of the coveted Evo VI Tommi Mäkinen RS Edition, number 33 of just 218 made. Launched at the peak of rally-mania, Mitsubishi experienced huge success in Lancer Evolution sales, reportedly selling 6,000 Evolution IVs in the first three days of its launch! The 1996 WRC season brought Mitsubishi its first World Rally Championship drivers’ title, with thanks to a blisteringly quick driver named Tommi Mäkinen.In quick succession, the Lancer Evolution VI came to be and in the latter-half of 1999, Mitsubishi unleashed a special edition to celebrate its favourite driver's four consecutive WRC drivers' titles from 1996-1999; the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Mäkinen Edition (TME). The Evolution VI was already a technological tour-de-force but the TME came equipped with a more responsive titanium turbocharger, uprated and lowered suspension, quicker steering, an upgraded exhaust, a new ECU, beefed-up transfer case internals, a redesigned front bumper for improved cooling and authentic 17" WRC Enkei alloy wheels. The interior featured embossed Recaro seats, a MOMO steering wheel and red stitching. The performance upgrades saw 0-60mph despatched in 4.4 seconds and a maximum top speed of 150mph. Power was rumoured to be north of 300bhp, rather than the 276bhp 'Gentleman’s agreement'.Offered here is the RS variant of the TME featuring a more aggressive bodykit, 10mm lower suspension with revised dampers, a helical front limited-slip differential and a faster-spooling titanium turbocharger, all with the aim of improving the car’s performance on tarmac surfaces. Finished in Scotia White and featuring the correct red/black Recaro seats and interior which are generally in very good condition with only wear to the gear knob noted.First registered in Japan before being imported to the UK by our vendor in September 2020 and registered with the DVLA, in his possession since and forming part of his JDM Collection. As the lightweight RS variant of the TME – of which it is believed only 200 were made - these famously with no traction control, ABS, air bags or electric windows. The car has been well maintained whilst in his ownership and driven sparingly, now displaying 115,657km (71,840 miles). Serviced in August in preparation for sale, this RS remains close to standard specification, with the only modifications being a mushroom air filter. Offered with a current MOT, V5C and some receipts for maintenance.Specification Make: MITSUBISHI Model: EVO VI Year: 2000 Chassis Number: CP9A0201459 Registration Number: V457 VKE Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 4G63 Odometer Reading: 110000 Miles Make: Interior Colour: Black ClothClick here for more details and images

Fourth generation, Dolomite Sprint in Inca Yellow  recommissioned and upgraded by Ant Anstead and his team. The Dolomite Sprint Series 4 offered was first registered in February 1980 and is presented ready for its next adventure after being thoroughly recommissioned by Ant and his team. It is finished in Inca Yellow, which is much more unusual than the Mimosa Yellow which the first batch of Sprints made were all painted in, as this is a late Series 4 example, the Sprint’s final incarnation.Series 4s are considered more desirable and are definitely rarer, with only 834 produced in the model’s 7 year production run. Series 4s benefit from detailed improvements, most notably in having dual circuit brakes and a speedo calibrated in clearer 20mph increments. The drivers door mirror and rear fog light were also obligatory from 1st January 1st 1980, to meet new regulations.This car was purchased for restoration by Ant after being dry stored for some years. The previous owner had spent over £18,000 on restoring it over a period of years but not quite finished the task. This original restoration work included fitting poly bushes to the entire suspension, grooved and slotted front discs and height adjustable rear suspension. The engine was rebuilt and modified for better breathing utilizes twin Weber 45 DCOE carburettors, and Ant reports that it certainly pulls extremely well, being significantly more responsive than a standard Sprint. It also has a stainless-steel sports exhaust system connected to the standard manifold, so sounds superb.Ant and his team have sorted the brakes and fuel system where needed, fitting two new front springs and shock absorbers, and a high-torque starter motor. They have also restored the interior wood veneer which had, as is quite common on 1970s Triumphs, lifted away from base and gone cloudy. The luxurious interior ambience of these cars is an important part of their appeal and the black cloth interior trim on this car was otherwise in very good condition. Ant and his team have also fitted a new inner and outer sills on the driver’s side and repaired areas of damaged paintwork. There was no serious rust to fix other then the sill, just damage from the normal rigors of time and Ant feels that sills aside (which is common issue on these cars so knowing it’s been done to high standard is important) the shell has never needed any serious welding.Ant Anstead’s reflections on this car:"The Dolomite is a cool mixture of conservative styling and avant-garde technology which has now been largely forgotten outside of the circle of Triumph enthusiasts. That 16-valve, four-per cylinder head configuration has become the norm on performance cars so it’s cool to be reminded that Britain got there first and any car that’s successful in saloon car racing always has a certain cachet". N.B.

**Saleroom announcement** Please note the paint is Platinum Diamond not Bronze Metallic A rare and sought after right-hand drive UK 3-litre Carrera Sport model with long family ownership - lots of potential! Introduced in September 1975 for the 1976 model year with production only running until 1977, the interesting Carrera 3.0 is rightly regarded as somewhat of a special and rare model amongst the impact-bumper era, 911 model range.Following on after the MFI-engined Carrera 2.7, the 3.0 Carrera heralded the adoption of the newly developed Bosch K-Jetronic CIS fuel-injection engine. This torque-rich, smooth and free-revving 3-litre engine, with a distinctive ‘cam' effect from 4,000rpm, produced 200bhp and was effectively a naturally aspirated version of the 930 Turbo's drivetrain.During its short two year life span, only 3,687 cars were built - a tiny amount compared to nearly 58,000 911 SCs and 76,500 3.2 Carreras produced. Of these, 2,564 were Coupés and 1,123 were Targas with only around 1,064 Coupés being manufactured in right-hand drive. Very few right-hand drive cars reached the UK and with just a two-year production run, only 121 Carrera 3.0 Coupés are verified by their chassis numbers with Porsche Club GB.Have a read of this article from Porsche experts Elferspot about the 3.0 Carrera: https://www.elferspot.com/en/magazin/buyers-guide-porsche-911-carrera-3-0/The car presented here is a 1977 Porsche 911 3.0 Carrera Sport Coupé in distinctive Bronze Metallic, a special-order paint, over a tan and tartan interior with original Recaro sports seats. It's a UK-supplied, 5-speed, matching-numbers car and was specified with electric windows and sunroof.This striking sports-car was originally supplied on 7th February 1977 via Official Porsche Centre Parker & Parker Ltd of Longpool, Kendal in Cumbria, and sold to a customer in Blackburn. It then passed through a few owners, before being bought in October 1982 by Mr Edwards of Pockley, York; he subsequently sold it, in September 1983, to our vendor’s father (but registered the car in his wife’s name); remarkably, it has been in the care of his family ever since (ownership passing to our vendor in 2014). By 2013 and due in part to the father’s declining health, the car had slumbered for several years in the garage of the family home. It an attempt to get the car ‘back on its feet’, father and son instructed Porsche specialists, Gantspeed Engineering Ltd, to carry out an extensive mechanical refurbishment. This included an engine rebuild (which retains its distinctive 5-blade cooling fan, as opposed to the newer 11-blade version), transmission overhaul and other work, totalling some £35,000 (invoices in file). The car was driven and enjoyed after being run-in but, due to other commitments, it ended up back in the garage, where it again has sat unused for a number of years. Whilst being worked on, the sills, floors and kidney bowls were all inspected and deemed in good shape, but the paintwork (believed to be original) is in need of some TLC, plus some areas of the trim likewise (the missing Porsche bonnet badge does come with the car though).With much originality throughout, the factory interior has held up especially well, indeed, with a bit of attention and expenditure, this could quite easily be a top-top 3.0, with long diligent ownership, much paperwork and its original book pack (mislaid at the time of writing) to accompany it.As one of the rarest UK-market production Porsches, this wholesome example represents good value against the 930 Turbo and is the smart choice for those who respect history, rarity and originality.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 3.0 CARRERA SPORT COUPÉYear: 1977Chassis Number: 9117600619Registration Number: VEC 84RTransmission: Manual Engine Number: 6670828 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 76528 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

One of three 'Pre-production Prototypes' (non-CAT), evaluated by Jeremy Clarkson and featured in Top Gear Magazine and Clarkson’s Car Years. The Escort RS Cosworth was an 'homologation special' and its sole role was to incorporate parts that Ford planned to use in their rally cars to ensure success in International Rallying. Because it was smaller, lighter and more nimble than any of the Sierras, the combination of Cosworth power, four-wheel drive transmission and an effective aerodynamic package made it a Rally Giant in all conditions. Success duly followed between 1993 and 1998 in the World Rally Championship for manufacturers, but the road cars were very rare - with just 2,500 'homologation special' versions made, becoming known as 'big turbo cars', all capable of 150mph and easily identified by the aptly named 'Whale Tail' rear spoiler.This particular Ford Escort RS Cosworth is extremely well known within Blue Oval circles, not just because it was once Jeremy Clarkson's daily steed, but more importantly because it is one of just three Prototype pre-production, hand-built, examples that, at the time, were rumoured to have cost in excess of £250,000 to produce, with a slightly different specification from standard production models that included 'Catalytic Converter Delete' for some unknown reason. Finished in Mallard Green with a Raven Hide interior, the Escort is in superb condition throughout retaining much originality and even the original Ford Motor Company registration, K38 FMC, remains assigned. The underside still has its original factory sealant in place and clearly shows that no rectification work has taken place.Never one to miss a marketing opportunity, Ford offered the car on loan to Jeremy Clarkson for a 12 month period for evaluation purposes and it featured in many reports at the time. It was subsequently offered as a competition prize in Top Gear Magazine which included free insurance for a 12 month period, something that will not have been cheap at the time for the renowned hot hatchback. In 2000, the Escort once again fell into Jeremy's hands to be featured in his TV programme, Clarkson’s Car Years, where they were filmed driving over 'Buttertubs Pass' in North Yorkshire during which time Jeremy stated 'One of my all time favourite roads meets one of my all time favourite cars, the Cossie'.More recently, the present long-term owner has carried out a full brake and suspension overhaul, fitted a brand new set of NOS genuine wheels and centre caps and improved the superb interior with a new headlining. With very minor mechanical enhancements the Escort RS is now ready to be enjoyed once again and ready for its next journey over that North Yorkshire Pass.Specification Make: FORD Model: ESCORT RS COSWORTH Year: 1992 Chassis Number: WF0BXXGKABNY95976 Registration Number: K38 FMC Transmission: Manual Engine Number: NY95976 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: Raven HideClick here for more details and images

With a standard interior and smartly finished in Repsol livery, custom wheels and a superb history file. Perfect for car shows or eyebrow-raising daily commutes. The second-generation Focus RS is the Focus that Ford originally claimed they would never build - a limited run 300bhp 'super-hatch'. But we're delighted they did and make no apology for being enthusiastic about this remarkable little car with its huge twin-blade spoiler at the back, aggressive body kit and ballistic performance from the turbocharged 2.5-litre, five-cylinder engine. Only 11,500 examples were built in a production run that lasted a little over three years, with just 4,000 finding homes in the UK. The RS may not have had four-wheel drive, but a combination of Ford's trick Revo-Knuckle front suspension, a Quaife limited-slip differential and well judged ESP did a great job of putting the power down and managing the torque-steer while still providing plenty of involvement.The chassis was stiffened by about 30% and bigger drive shafts, a wider track, lower ride height and a faster steering rack translated into remarkably civilised road manners. With 301bhp and a massive 324lbs/ft available, the RS could hit 60mph in under six seconds and topped 160mph, all accompanied by a distinctive five-cylinder warble, plenty of turbo chatter and even the occasional pop and bang from the exhausts. And when you weren't on a charge, the RS was a polite and practical hatchback capable of returning 25-30mpg, easy to park, offering plenty of boot space and reasonably quiet at a constant speed. However, with its gaping grille, 19" wheels, flared arches, deep diffuser and a wing that would embarrass a Porsche Turbo, the RS left you in no doubt about its intentions.First registered on 15th June 2010, this eye-catching RS Mk2 has had the Repsol livery professionally applied and the custom white alloy wheels complete the look. Supplied to auction with an odometer reading of 75,360 miles and accompanied by its book pack, well stamped service book, the spare set of keys and an advisory-free MOT valid until 19th July 2025.Specification Make: FORD Model: FOCUS RS MK2 Year: 2010 Chassis Number: WF0GXXGCDGAT44056 Registration Number: RS02 LWS Transmission: Manual Engine Number: AT44056 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 75600 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black/GreyClick here for more details and images

A multi award-winning tribute to the legendary WRC car, magazine-featured and supplied with a huge history file, both Ford and RS wallets, service book and the well deserved trophies. The legendary Colin McRae came from a family dedicated to rallying and who collectively have achieved many outright rally wins and rally championship wins at all levels. Son of five-time British rally champion, Jimmy, and brother to rally driver, Alistair, Colin went on to win the British Rally Championship in 1991 and 1992 before being signed by Prodrive to spearhead their challenge in the World Rally Championship from 1993. He was amazingly successful at this senior level, going on to win the World Rally Championship outright in 1995 for Subaru and Prodrive.Always known for his fully committed approach, he was a risk taker and a superb driver to watch. No less so than in 2001, when driving the famous Focus RS, Y4 FMC, for the official Ford World Rally team, he won the Argentina, Cyprus and the Greek Acropolis rallies with Nicky Grist co-driving. By the end of that season, following a strong second place in New Zealand, they were both poised to win the World Championship again. It was a real head to head with his arch rival, Richard Burns, driving for Subaru and Colin in the Focus representing Ford in the 2001 British round of the WRC, the 'Network Q' Rally of Great Britain.Never one to consider championship caution, Colin drove Y4 FMC flat out and heading Richard and leading the rally outright as they went into SS4 (Rhonda 1). Unfortunately, such was his pace that he was launched in to a spectacular series of barrel roles (sufficiently impressive to make the nine o’clock news that night!) and handed both the rally and overall championship win to his arch rival, Richard Burns (Colin was pipped for the championship by just two points by Richard).The Focus, with its Martini livery, became a legend. So much so, that this multiple award-winning car was cosmetically modified in 2008 in tribute. Registered on 1st September 2003, the car underwent exhaustive concours-level works that finished with a documented respray in Diamond White on 7th July 2008. With the interior kept largely standard, the car’s condition earned it multiple awards, as displayed, and these awards are included in the sale. Presented to auction with an advisory-free MOT Certificate from July this year at 79,027 miles, the detailed history file includes reams of receipts, awards and both keys.Specification Make: FORD Model: FOCUS RS Year: 2003 Chassis Number: WF0BXXGCDB3S74867 Registration Number: RS02 DAR Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 3S74867 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 78500 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black/GreyClick here for more details and images

Brighton-built left-hand drive 300 that's been restored to 'show-quality'. The Italian-designed Isetta microcar was built under licence in a number of different countries, including Spain, Belgium, France, Brazil, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Produced in the post-WWII years, a time when cheap, short-distance transportation was most needed, it became one of the most successful and influential city cars ever created. Because of its egg shape and bubble-like windows, it became known as a 'bubble car', a name later given to similar vehicles from other manufacturers.With space for two and their luggage, the Isetta was perfect for the UK's urban and rural roads. In 1957, Isetta of Great Britain began producing the '300' model at their factory in Brighton under licence from BMW. The British cars were right-hand drive with the door hinged from the right-hand side of the car and the steering column moved across to the right as well. Being right-hand drive meant that the driver and engine were on the same side, so a counterweight was added to the left side to compensate. Lucas electrics replaced the German Hella and Bosch components, with a different headlamp housing being used, and Girling brake components replaced the ATE brake parts. In 1962, Isetta of Great Britain stopped production of the little cars but continued to produce Isetta engines until 1964.This lovely, show quality, Brighton-built, left-hand drive BMW Isetta 300 still sports its original Essex/Suffolk registration, 87 RPU. Being left-hand drive, it's a bit lighter than the RHD cars as it doesn't carry the 27kg counterweight. It's finished in a smart Powder Blue with a crisp blue/white plaid interior and is complete with a luggage rack. All Isettas came with a sunroof, not so much as a luxury feature, but essential for climbing out if someone parked too close to the front. The history file contains a 1976 copy of the original 'buff' logbook and a letter from the BMW Isetta Club. Infrequently used recently, we would recommend a light recommissioning. Values of these great little cars have continued to rise and, at today's guide, this little Powder Blue 300 seems good value.Specification Make: BMW Model: ISETTA Year: TBA Chassis Number: A3 15872 Registration Number: 87 RPU Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 46389 Miles Make: LHDClick here for more details and images

This is an exceptionally rare GSR variant imported by our vendor in 2019 to join his JDM Collection in Ireland. Mitsubishi had enjoyed much success in rallying all around the world since 1973 with their Gallant, Lancer and Starion however in 1992, the decision was made to fully commit to winning the World Rally Championship (WRC). Utilising the best of the technologies established through previous years, including their much-refined four-wheel drive S-AWC system (Super-All Wheel Control), the Lancer GSR Evolution model series was launched. True to its name, the series has undergone an ongoing evolution process ever since its introduction with improvements in engine performance and handling leading to the Evolution II in 1993 and the Evolution III in 1995.Following the introduction of the new Lancer road car model which debuted major improvements in styling and performance, the Lancer GSR Evolution IV was launched in 1996, boasting more power and ever more innovative technology including their new AYC (Active Yaw Control) adaptive handling enhancement system.The Evolution V continued the process with a further increase in engine torque and substantially improved handling thanks to a wider track and upgraded Brembo braking. Its 2-litre, DOHC, intercooler-turbocharged, four-cylinder engine now used an upgraded intercooler, enlarged nozzle area in the twin-scroll turbocharger, lighter pistons, an upgraded radiator and oil-cooler to produce 280bhp. Launched in January 1998 and produced for only a year, the Lancer Evolution V took up the motorsport mantle, at least in terms of the WRC. A new ruling allowing a bigger body gave Mitsubishi the opportunity to extend the previous model’s platform, increasing brake and wheel size, adding 10mm to its track and displaying, for the first time, flared arches and much more aggressive styling.It’s now widely accepted that finding credible examples of the Evolution V is becoming increasingly hard. In Japan, Evos were only produced by the Mitsubishi factory in five basic trims, RS, RS2, GT, GT-A or GSR. This is an exceptionally rare GSR variant, the road-going version of the out and out stripped RS competition edition. Featuring climate control, electric windows and mirrors, sports seats and alloy wheels, this Palma Red GSR sports the correct Recaro Sports seats and it believed to be one of under 100 produced, making it an exceptionally rare car.Purchased by our vendor in Japan and imported in 2019 to join his private JDM Collection, the car has been well maintained whilst in his ownership and driven sparingly, now displaying 100,200km (62,261 miles). Serviced in August in preparation for sale, this honest GSR remains close to standard specification, with the only modifications being a Pro Plus Inc. boost gauge, and an Alcantara re-covered steering wheel. Offered with a current MOT, V5C and some receipts for maintenance.Specification Make: MITSUBISHI Model: LANCER GSR Year: 1998 Chassis Number: CP9A0002614 Registration Number: R985 XSW Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 4G63 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 100200 KM Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

A cost-effective and competitive entry to some of the most high-profile historic race meetings on the calendar. Royale Racing was founded in 1968 by Bob King and was basically a further development of his existing business, Racing Preparations Ltd, with a name based on its location in Park Royal, London. The RP4 was aimed at the new Motor Racing Stables F100 Championship for lightweight sports cars powered by a 1,300cc engine, however there wasn’t much support for the new championship as it appeared to compete directly with the long-established and hugely popular Clubmans Championships and it only lasted two years (1970/71). 11 RP4s (plus four RP4As) were eventually built and won the championship both years. The RP4’s big sister, the RP6, also enjoyed success and we understand that a total of nine were built. The outstanding and competitive Royale on offer here was originally built as an RP6 (RP6/8) before being meticulously upgraded to RP17 specification for the previous owner by Peter Richardson with FIA/HTP papers being issued upon completion in 2014. Since then, it has been maintained to the highest of standards regardless of cost by Gerry Wainwright Motorsport with the ‘super reliable’ BDG being rebuilt by Craig Beck in 2022 with just five outings under its belt since. The harnesses were renewed in 2022 with the fire extinguisher system also being updated in 2023. Previously a front runner at the Silverstone Classic - now Silverstone Festival - (headed in qualifying only by an M8F and John Burton’s B26, and in front of all the Lolas, Marchs, Osellas and other Chevrons) and more recently an outright winner at Brands Hatch in 2023 on the GP circuit in the hands of Rob Wainwright with a fastest lap of 1:30:2. The car is accompanied by a useful spares package which includes one spare set of (MB) wheels, silencer for track-day testing, radiator, rear upright, wheel bearings, a starter motor and other sundry items. This fabulous Royale may well be the most cost-effective way onto the Masters Sports Car Legends grid, or any other series where Chevron B19s and the like are welcome. Your early inspection is encouraged to fully appreciate the potential on offer which, in the right hands, could provide the new custodian with the opportunity to experience historic motorsport to the full.Specification Make: ROYALE Model: RP6/17 Year: 1970 Chassis Number: RP6/8 Registration Number: N/A Transmission: Manual Engine Number: H82MS/0015ER Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: AlloyClick here for more details and images

This little 1,584cc Fulvia HF (now registered as a Rallye HF) would make a perfect first time entry into the world of historic rallies. Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1963, Lancia’s little Fulvia was as intriguing and ambitious as it was innovative, swapping rear-wheel drive for a more advanced front-wheel drive, embracing Lancia's DOHC V4 engine. Starting with a modest 57bhp but evolving to a sturdy 130bhp, its variants, especially the Coupés, gained fame for their rallying prowess. An undeniably underappreciated icon in the history books of Italian automotive successes.The Fulvia marked Lancia’s glorious and victorious return to motorsport, carving a niche in the rallying scene, paving the way for an era of dominance in the World Rally Championship far from the spotlight hogged by its successors – the Stratos, O37 and Delta Integrale. It is often forgotten that it was the Fulvia that earned the distinction of winning Lancia's first World Rally title in 1972.This particular Fulvia was rebuilt as a rally car in 2017 having started its life as a standard 1.3 (1,300cc). It's now powered by a 1,600cc engine fitted with twin-Weber 45 carbs, work-spec cams, Arrow conrods, a balanced crank, Mangoletsi intake manifold and carburettor linkage and a 'Group 4' manifold/free-flow exhaust, recently set up and dyno-tested by Stanton Motorsports. It's a Fulvia HF body (steel construction with aluminium bonnet, boot, and doors) registered as a Rallye HF. The interior is as basic as one would expect, stripped back to save weight and fitted with a roll cage, two Recaro bucket seats, racing harnesses and fire extinguishers.Upon its conversion to rally-spec, the car was maintained by its owner's in-house mechanic, who carried out all repairs, modifications, servicing and pre-event spanner checks. Recent work included stripping the engine and gearbox for check-overs and refurbing with fresh gaskets.Cosmetically, as is to be expected with a competition car, there are some dents and imperfections, however there are no major sightings of rust except for some light surface tarnishing where the paint has chipped.Lancia-based rally cars have traditionally been expensive, however this little Fulvia seems like tremendous value. It’s a well raced and ready-to-go example of Lancia's legendary rally car.Specification Make: LANCIA Model: FULVIA RALLYE HF Year: 1968 Chassis Number: 81833112492 Registration Number: TBL 82G Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 8185402286651 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 68389 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

An elegant, aluminium-bodied race car 'Special' in-the-style-of a 1950s Sports racer or Mille Miglia entrant. The car presented here is a 1957 Balino MM, a one-off Italian Fiat ‘Special’ built by a very talented engineer-racer. It's an aluminium-bodied/steel space-framed car in the style of a 1950s sports racer or Mille Miglia-type entrant, built by its owner (our vendor) and has been campaigned in VSCC and hillclimb events with much success.It was fastidiously built over three years and completed in 2010, immediately enjoying its first outing, then further evolved/refined and campaigned over an eight year period (VSCC Invited Class & MSA papers). All the mechanical parts are period Fiat, the engine being ‘upped’ to 1,290cc with a seven-port head, Simca conrods, high-compression pistons, four Amal carburettors, a longer duration 290° camshaft, electric water pump and tuned tubular exhaust. The rear axle is Fiat Balilla on ¼ elliptic springs, the front suspension is Topolino, whilst the elegant body is aluminium over a round tube steel space-frame. Our vendor: 'The main target during the build was to make the car as light as possible, it ended up at 400kgs, pleasingly 100kgs at each corner'.The car was given a VSCC acceptance form for 'Post-1940' cars in 2010 and an MSA logbook in 2012. It's been raced successfully at Silverstone, Donnington, Oulton, Snetterton and Pembrey, but was most effective on the hills and sprints due to its low weight. It was last used in 2018, but has been started and moved regularly since, the last time just before consignment.What a stunning machine, lovingly created and maintained by its maker, is there a more cost-effective way into 1950s-style aluminium-bodied racing?Specification Make: BALINO Model: MM Year: 1957 Chassis Number: TBC Registration Number: N/A Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

John Cleland's 1995 British Touring Car Championship-winning car. A couple of significant changes were announced by TOCA for the 1995 Autotrader RAC British Touring Car Championship. After Alfa Romeo’s creative interpretation of the rules it was decided that for the new season, wings and spoilers were now eligible for all cars and all race weekends were now double-headers, except the British GP support race. Happily, the Super Touring regulations adopted by the BTCC in 1993 were to continue with the full agreement of all the participating manufacturers.In February of 1995, predicting the outcome of the season was proving rather difficult as one can see from looking at the runners and riders.After their domination in 1994, Alfa Corse went back to contesting the Italian Supertouring Championship, TWR Volvo replaced the 850 Estate with the 850 saloon, Frank Williams set up Williams Touring Car Engineering and took over development of Renault’s Laguna, Rouse Sport ran Ford’s works effort for a third season with the V6 Mondeo, Toyota retained Toyota Team Europe engineering the Carina, Total Team Peugeot once again entered the Peugeot 405 Mi16, now in its final year, Honda joined the championship with Motor Sport Developments, entering the Accord and Vauxhall announced that the Cavalier was to be replaced by the new Vectra at the end of the season, so 1995 was the last hurrah for the model and John Cleland was joined by James Thompson.With TV money much in evidence and the prospect of double-headers, build budgets were creeping into the 'no expense spared' category. Vauxhall were feeling confident with a strong driver line up (Cleland had already won the Championship in 1989 in an Astra) and the team at Ray Mallock Limited were positive as they prepared for their second season with the Cavalier.Two cars were built for 1995, #022 was assigned to team leader (and champion elect) John Cleland with #023 destined for works driver, James Thompson. The Swindon-built engines generated 290bhp with roller throttle bodies and Alpha-Weber management, delivered to the road via an X-Trac 6-speed sequential gearbox. Braking was courtesy of AP Calipers on the front and Brembo on the rear, meanwhile suspension damping was taken care of by Dynamics. Tipping the scales at 975kg, the car’s weight was testament to its Dymag magnesium wheel rims, lightweight panels and computer-designed T45 roll cage, which resembled a space frame rather than a safety device. The cage, suspensions arms, pedal box and many other finishing touches were fabricated in house by RML.As is well documented elsewhere, it was a dramatic and closely fought season with John Cleland winning six races and the Championship with 348 points in #22 from Alain Menu, and James Thompson secured seventh. Vauxhall were narrowly beaten into second by Renault, their winning margin only five points.After this successful season, RML sold the car to Jim Richards in Australia who campaigned it in the Australian Super Touring championship before selling the car to Bob Tweedie at IBC Motorsport who used the car to compete in the same series (as evidenced by its period scrutineering stickers, which are still in place). We understand that it had a top-end rebuild by John Masala in Australia in 1999.In 2000, our vendor bought #22 and brought it back to the UK to commence a gentle retirement only interrupted by a demonstration run at Silverstone in 2005 and an engine refresh by Bob Jones in 2011. Earlier this year (2024), it was decided to bring #22 out of retirement and after an inspection and a full check by Bob Jones, it had its first run out for many years at the Super Touring Power Festival at Brands Hatch. The car’s busy year has continued with a photoshoot at Silverstone prior to our sale and a bit of fuss to make #22 look as good as possible for the Festival Auction.The car still boasts its original 1996 Cleland Racetech steering wheel, seat and belts along with original and period 1995 Homologation stickers. It’s supplied in full running order with a handsome spares package (details available separately) which includes two set of wheels and another suitable for transport. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a championship-winning car from a period when manufacturer-supported saloon car racing had become a Saturday afternoon television must-see and drivers were becoming household names, particularly young John Cleland, whose legendary gestures and no-holds barred opinions of his fellow drivers turned him into a bit of a celebrity. It was 'show business' and #22 was right in the middle.Specification Make: VAUXHALL Model: CAVALIER Year: 1995 Chassis Number: 022 Registration Number: N/A Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: Race car.Click here for more details and images

Second series Zagato-bodied Appia GTE with European Rally Provenance now in need of a full restoration. Styled like its Aurelia B10 big brother, Lancia’s new Appia small car arrived in 1953. The Lancia tradition of outstanding innovation in automotive technology was exemplified by the Appia’s ultra-compact engine, a narrow-angle (10°) 1,089cc V4 whose inclined overhead-valves were set in hemispherical combustion chambers and operated by twin camshafts in the block. The unitary chassis construction adopted on the pre-war Aprilia was, naturally enough, continued, as was Lancia’s traditional sliding-pillar independent front suspension. Notchback-style Series II cars came with a lengthened wheelbase and more power (up from 38 to 43bhp) while the final (third) series boasted further styling revisions and 48bhp. Complementing the standard Appia saloon were a series of limited edition models produced on a separate chassis and bodied by leading carrozzeria, Pininfarina being responsible for the Coupé, Vignale the Cabriolet and Zagato the GT Coupé. Engine power was increased to 59bhp for these more sporting Appias which, when equipped with Zagato’s lightweight, aerodynamic coachwork, could touch 100mph.Dating from 1962, this Series II left-hand drive GTE Coupé is typical of Zagato's work of the period. It was delivered new to a Tullio Sergio in Ancona (they went on to run Ferrari 275s in the Mille Miglia). Little is known of the cars early years, but it was sold in 1987 to Fabbri Gabriele in Riccione and then put on display in the Hotel Promenade & Residence Museum just south of Rimini. There are two photos in the history file (and on our website) of the Lancia competing on the Monte Carlo - Sestriere Rally – these are unfortunately undated. Our vendor bought the little Lancia with his father some 30 years ago and it was used until around 2010 before joining their impressive private Collection and has not turned a wheel since. There is without doubt more to find out about this rare car and doing the research on a winter’s evening with a bowl of fresh pasta and a glass of Barolo could be rewarding.The car is supplied with its original L’Ispettorato log book, hotel brochure showing the car in the hotel museum and various receipts and items of correspondence. The car has never been UK-registered.With restored examples having achieved over £100k, this project example with competition provenance is sure to excite.Specification Make: LANCIA Model: APPIA Year: 1962 Chassis Number: 812.03-5053 Registration Number: AN 65521 Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Make: Only LHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

The ex-Elio de Angelis 1978 Monaco-winning Chevron B38, beautifully presented with fresh FIA paperwork valid until 2034. After an absence of three years, Chevron returned to F3 in 1976 with a B20 Formula Atlantic car converted to F3-spec with the addition of a Novamotor Toyota engine and designated B34. Derek Bennett and Paul Owens carried out a systematic development programme on this wide-tracked car and all this work paid off when the Works-backed Trivellato run team soon showed the car was a winner with their new star, Riccardo Patrese, at the wheel. As soon as the car started winning, other orders followed and Geoff Lees in a semi-works car as well as Rupert Keegan soon showed the B34’s pace in UK races.The B38 was a refinement of the B34 and was to prove very successful indeed, with some 20 race wins with only rivals, Ralt, winning more. Due to the success of the 1976 car, a lot of top drivers were tempted over to the B38 and they were to be successful all over Europe. Derek Daly won one of the British titles and Elio de Angelis took the Italian championship. The chassis was a bathtub-style monocoque with detachable subframes, front suspension by double wishbones with transverse links and wishbones and radius rods at the rear. It had excellent braking capabilities and its wide track inspired driver confidence, especially in the rain. 28 B38s were built in total.This exceptionally pretty and original Chevron F3 (B38-77-01) is the Elio de Angelis championship-winning car from the 1977 Italian Formula 3 Championship and his 1978 Monaco Formula 3 race winner. The F3 race that supported the Grand Prix was always incredibly competitive and Elio’s win that year in this car was undoubtedly the springboard to his stellar career in Formula 1 with Shadow, Lotus and Brabham.B38-77-01 still retains its original tub which is a testament to the care and maintenance enjoyed by this lovely F3 that was originally set up by multiple Grand Prix winner, Carlos Reutemann, at Ferrari’s Fiorano track before its 1978 Monaco Grand Prix win. Although nothing to do with the car, the interest provenance is further enhanced by the infamous kidnapping in Sardinia of Elio’s father and his subsequent release brokered by Don Sergio Mantovani, the parish priest of Modena, all of which is documented in the history file.Our vendor has participated in the Monaco Historique Grand Prix weekend on three occasions with 38-77-01 and undoubtedly this fittingly historied Chevron F3 would gain an entry should Formula 3s be invited to support the Grand Prix in the future.The engine was rebuilt by Craig Beck and the gearbox by Mark Bailey in 2022 and the car’s only outing since was the Goodwood Spring Sprint in 2023, meaning that the rebuilt engine and gearbox have covered less than ten miles. A fresh FIA HTP has just been issued and is valid until 31st December 2034. There is a spares package with the car that includes two sets of rims with used slicks, a fully painted and decalled nose cone, two front splitters, a nose support frame, set-up jigs, spare radiator and some Hewland gear ratios.All in all, this is a delightful Formula 3 with a lovely history, on the button with new FIA papers and a ticket for Monaco when F3 returns to the program.Specification Make: CHEVRON Model: B38 Year: 1977 Chassis Number: B38-77-01 Registration Number: N/A Transmission: Manual Make: Click here for more details and images

Our vendor decided to create the best FIA 'Group 2' CSL 'Batmobile' he could and the result is simply remarkable. On offer here is a very well built example of BMW's legendary 1970s E9 Coupé with an estimate that's a fraction of its build cost. Its private owner acquired a left-hand drive 1973 3.0CS road car with a V5C during the COVID lockdown period and set about building the very best FIA 'Group 2' BMW ‘Batmobile’-specification he could and the results are impressive. Marque experts, Laranca Engineering, who have built and run many CSLs in recent decades, were used for technical assistance throughout the project and the car was completed in 2022, with only test miles and dyno-time since.FIA HTP papers were issued once the build was completed (GB12959) and are valid until 31st December 2031. The remarkable specification is detailed below:Roll-cage FIA and MSA Certificate included. Full chassis set up by Laranca EngineeringLaranca 3.5-litre race engine, billet dry-sump system, all their top spec components including modifying a brand-new BMW cylinder headDyno sheet included - 384bhp. Brand new slide throttle assembly and fully rebuilt race Kugelfisher pump (the fuel injection system alone cost in excess of £20,000)Getrag 265 gearbox built to race specification by Laranca Engineering. Laranca race spec differential, with high-grade output shafts and flangesFully plumbed-in diff cooler pump, and rear wheel arch-mounted radiator. These modifications are expensive but essential for reliability in endurance eventsBrand new, top-specification braking system with calculations by BG Developments (AP Racing UK). New discs, bells and callipers, all period correct AP CP 2270 & CP 2271 calipers. Bias pedal box, adjustable from driving seat120-litre ATL bag tank in alloy container. Special billet alloy top plate, swirl pot etc. Note bladder will need either replacing or re-certification, new bladder readily available (new cost c.£800)Specially made heated windscreenTop specification suspension, Laranca Engineering struts and coil-overs, dynamically set, fully adjustable anti-roll bars with calculations and easily adjusted with slot-in various anti-roll bar diameters. Fully re-engineered rear suspension, reinforced and modified for full adjustment using spherical jointsFront subframe fully reinforced and modified to include conversion to steering rack. Aircraft-grade alloy control arms, spherical joints with full adjustabilityComplete body restoration by Normandale starting with stripped and blasted shell, full rotisserie buildFully lightened and strengthened according to homologation. Correct homologated 1975 ‘box arch' body kit. Handmade aluminium bonnet and boot, aluminium door skins. Painted in BMW racing colours, note all stripes are painted on (not transfers) - full photographic record of shell preparationThe car currently has period correct side exiting exhaust (unsilenced) however, the shell was built with potential future noise restrictions in mind so there is space to add full silencers without altering looks or ground clearance etc. A fully silenced system can be added without making any modifications to the shell or floorBespoke racing wiring harness with full range of Stack instruments, relays, circuit breakers, Lambda sensors fitted with fuel/ air gauges. Plumbed in OMP electric fire suppression system, FIA-approved, alloy bottleNew CNC machined billet centre split-rim wheels with almost new Avon slicks (test miles only)MOMO steering wheel, lightweight flock sprayed dash. Note seat & belts date expiredSo many special details, alloy rad and coolers, numerous CNC machined itemsThere are a considerable number of spares included with the car.To replicate this car to this standard would cost way in excess of £200,000 today and take many hours of hard work. Combine this with the fact that this car with its FIA papers offers access into some of the best historic motorsport in the world today makes this a really interesting proposition, and we highly recommend that interested parties come and see this simply remarkable 'Batmobile' for themselves.Specification Make: BMW Model: CSL BATMOBILE Year: 1973 Chassis Number: 2231964 Registration Number: N/A Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 1287639 Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Make: Only LHDClick here for more details and images

2-litre Triumph Vitesse-based two-seat Special, superbly crafted, beautifully presented and totally evocative of those glamorous Sports Racers from the 1950s. As an ex-pattern maker and fibreglass laminator at Sunseeker Yachts, Glan Richards was totally familiar with contemporary design, yet his passion was for those glorious, curvaceous sports cars and sports racers from the 1950s. Cars created at a time when body panels were hand-shaped with hammers and wheels, dashboards were made of metal, seat belts were optional and impact bumpers, effective crumple zones, airbag steering wheels and pedestrian-friendly front ends were some way in the future.Over a period of approximately ten months, Glan and colleagues shaped and created the Formosas fibreglass bodyshell, incorporating many of the features and styling cues from those fabulous 1950s racers. A close look will offer reminders of Jaguars C-Type, Maseratis 300S, the Ferrari 750 Monza, Astons DBR1 and others but, as the design didn't lean heavily or replicate any particular marque or model, it avoided all the copyright and patent issues that have recently caused replica builders legal problems. The Formosa was designed to accept the chassis and running gear from a Triumph Vitesse or a Reliant Scimitar SE5A and, by utilising the majority of the donor, minus the bodyshell, it retained the cars classic status, registration, chassis number, etc., still a true 1960s classic, just wearing a different suit of clothes.This particular Formosa 120GR is based on a 2-litre Triumph Vitesse first registered on 1st May 1963 and has covered just 13,559 miles since the build. It was assembled in 2019/20 by Formosa 'guru', Dave Thickins and sold to its first owner in December 2021. Motivation is provided by a twin-carb 1,998cc Triumph six-cylinder generating around 100bhp and mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. The car is finished in an an attractive shade of steel blue metallic, a couple of shades down from Ecurie Ecosse blue enhanced by a single white 'racing stripe'. External sporty features include a single race-style rear headrest, quick release bonnet catches, twin period side mirrors, centre-mounted chrome filler cap, 'Speedster' style Perspex windscreen, Perspex headlamp covers with P700 lamps, an 'egg crate' front grille, painted wire wheels and a full mohair Tonneau cover.More recent work includes custom-made, fully cushioned, sling back blue leather seats, angled correctly for optimum comfort, new harness seat belts, additional trimming to dash and other parts, new rubber mats, a battery cut out switch, K and N filters and an upgraded fuel tank. It's eligible for free historic road tax (ULEZ exempt!), inexpensive classic car insurance and is MOT-exempt.The Formosa is supplied with its current V5C, an MOT valid until 5th December 2024, an HPI 'all clear' certificate, spare keys, knock-on wheel hammer and spinner spanner, Vitesse owners manual and workshop manual, a toolbag with sundry items and its history file.We understand that this good-looking period road-race style special Triumph is great fun to drive and delivers a nostalgic raspy exhaust note through a single exhaust pipe.

A rare Maynard Arms Company 1st Model .50 calibre percussion breech-loading carbine, marked 'Maynard Arms Co / Washington' and 'Manufactured by Mass Arms Co. Chicopee Falls' to either side of the frame, 20" barrel, of military configuration with fixed rear sight, further original adjustable sight behind the hammer, and a sling ring to the trigger plate tang, with original open primer roll, with patented dates 1845 - 1856 to patch box cover and up to December 1859 one paper to the interior, overall length 93cm sold with a spare barrel with matching serial 2037 (damage to part of pin on action)As used by the US Military during the Civil War. A substantial number of Confederate regiments were at least partially armed with 1st Model Maynard rifles and carbines during the Civil War, resulting in the guns (in both barrel lengths and calibres) being listed in the 1863 Confederate Ordnance Manual as standard-issue Confederate carbines. This is possibly one of those purchased by the state of Mississippi in late 1860. If the 1859 production ceased between serial numbers 1600 and 1900, and production reached 150 arms per month during the period from January 1860 to April 1861, arms within the serial numbers range from approximately 1-4100 could have seen Confederate military service.Condition:The serial number on the tape primer door is 2037, which matches the spare barrel. This would suggest the one currently not fitted is the original barrel. After disassembling the rifle, the barrel currently attached is numbered serial 2148. This is possibly therefore a slightly later marriage.The lever pivot pin is partially snapped (see images). There is also a spare loose unattached piece, unsure what or if it relates to. The action appears to be in working orderPlease see additional images
