Registration No: VFJ 63 Chassis No: HS6HCS45426 MOT: Exempt • Part of the collection since 1993 • 28,954 recorded miles (unwarranted) • Highly original interior • In need of recommissioning / renovation Introduced in January 1957, the Austin A55 Cambridge boasted a larger boot and airier cabin than its A50 predecessor (the latter courtesy of a much bigger rear window). Based around a monocoque bodyshell equipped with independent front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes, the newcomer weighed little more than a ton. Powered by a 1.5 litre B-Series OHV engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the four/five-seater was reputedly capable of some 80mph. Available in four-door saloon or two-door commercial guises and with the option of two-tone paint schemes, the original A55 was supplanted by a Pininfarina-styled successor in 1959. First registered in Exeter on September 1st 1957 (or so its ‘VFJ 63’ number plate would imply), chassis HS6.HCS.45426 belonged to Jamie Clark of Scarborough some twenty-five years later. Joining the late Mr Lucas’s collection in 1993, the Austin pleasingly retains its original Red leather upholstery. Showing an unwarranted 28,954 miles to the odometer, the A55 has been off the road for decades. Looking period perfect in White over Grey with an external sun visor, the 4/5-seater also sports additional driving lights, auxiliary gauges and a collection of eight-track cassettes. In need of recommissioning / renovation.

Registration No: EG 4984 Chassis No: 7002307 MOT: Exempt • Part of the collection since 1988 • Very rare pre-WW2 light commercial • In need of recommissioning / renovation Part of the Rootes Group alongside Sunbeam, Talbot, Humber and Hillman, Commer utilised the latter’s Minx Magnificent as the basis of its 10hp light commercials from 1936 onwards. Underpinned by a conventional ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-spring suspension and four-wheel drum brakes, the Commer could be had in estate car or van guises. Powered by an 1185cc four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed all-synchromesh manual transmission, top speeds tended to be around 60mph. Updated for the 1938 model-year, the Commer 10hp gained a new radiator grille design and more rounded wings. First registered in the Soke of Peterborough on October 1st 1938 (or so its ‘EG 4984’ number plate would imply), chassis 7002307 belonged to Oliver Judd of Banbury some forty-six years later. Self-evidently the subject of past restoration work, the Commer joined the late Mr Lucas’s collection during 1988. Sporting a Crosley Roamio radio, the somewhat spartan interior also features an extendable load bay courtesy of its fold-down rear seat. Off the road for decades, the 10hp ‘Woodie’ will require recommissioning / refurbishment prior to use but appears to be substantially complete. A rare and interesting, light Pre-WW2 commercial.
Registration No: 412 XUG Chassis No: 206ESU219078 MOT: Exempt • Benefitting from an exhaustive restoration between 2017 and 2020 • Every area of the car restored, overhauled, or refreshed • Under 3,000 miles completed since the completion of the restoration • Finished in Pacific Blue over Ermine White paintwork with Two-Tone Grey interior trim • Surely one of, if not, the best example extant! Ford's Consul, Zephyr and Zodiac models were heavily revamped and restyled for the 1956 model year, during which the engine capacity of the six-cylinder cars was increased to 2553cc, which in turn raised the output to 86bhp. The model came with the choice of three-speed manual gearbox and the option of overdrive, or Borg Warner automatic transmission. The Consul, Zephyr, Zodiac line were offered in Saloon, or conversions when new into Estate (by Farnham) and Convertible (by Carbodies) versions. The Zodiac and Zephyr were also offered in two Saloon body styles, the "Highline" and "Lowline". Manufactured in 1959, this Zephyr was supplied new to South Africa and is finished in the highly complementary colour scheme of two-tone Pacific Blue and Ermine White paintwork with a complementary Two-Tone Grey leather interior upholstery and Blue carpeting. Arriving in the United Kingdom from South Africa in 2007, the Zephyr had three keepers before entering the ownership of the vendor in 2017. A highly skilled classic car mechanic, the vendor thereafter provided ‘SU219078’ with an exhaustive three-year restoration, despite noting that the Zephyr was a presentable and solid example to start with, which reached completion in 2020. Every area of the car was restored, overhauled, or refreshed with some of the restoration work completed comprising small welding repairs before fastidious preparation of the bodywork and attention to the panel gaps (with the doors re-pinned and strikers re-done) before a bare metal repaint; a full engine overhaul with the block acid dipped; gearbox, brakes, suspension, and steering overhauls; extensive sound deadening; full interior reupholstery; extensive re-chroming and re-polishing of the stainless-steel work; new white-wall tyres, and many new parts throughout. Completing less than 3,000 miles since the restoration’s completion, the Zephyr has attended numerous shows as well as touring the Lakes and Scarborough. Maintained fastidiously since, the only main deviation from factory specification is fitment of an electronic ignition, with the Zephyr offered now unsurprisingly rated as ‘excellent’ throughout. Featuring the factory options of colour coded steering wheel, spot lamp and sun-visor, the Zephyr is supplied with a history file that includes a full photographic record of the restoration work. Starting readily and running excellently during the recent photography session, ‘412 XUG’ is surely one of, if not the best example extant and is not one to be missed!

Registration No: G690 GNV Chassis No: WAUZZZ85ZLA000083 MOT: April 2025 • Recently subject to extensive cosmetic overhaul • One of a batch of four UK press cars with consecutive registration numbers • Recently the subject of much mechanical expenditure including a replacement, correct type, engine uprated to over 300bhp with MD147KKK Turbo • Sensibly uprated with front Brembo brake calipers • One of only 295 UK right-hand drive 20V models produced The Audi Quattro may not have been the first four-wheel-drive production car (that honour belongs to the 1966 Jensen Interceptor FF), but its place in history is assured. Thanks in no small part to its enormous rallying success, the Quattro popularised all-wheel drive, and is now regarded as one of the most influential and important sports cars of the 1980s. The brainchild of Jörg Bensinger, an Audi chassis engineer, development work was started in 1977. Three years later the finished product was released. Although the floorpan had much in common with the 80 and the running gear was largely taken from an Audi 200, the Quattro used a manual centre differential lock (operated by levers next to the handbrake) to govern the 197bhp and 210lb ft power outputs delivered by the 2.1-litre in-line five-cylinder turbocharged engine. By the time this particular car arrived in 1989, the crude cable-operated 50:50 split differential had been replaced with a much more advanced Torsen (torque sensing) diff and the engine had been uprated with double overhead camshafts and a larger 2,226cc capacity, upping power to 217bhp. Regarded by many as the best of the Quattros, the 20 Valve now represents a great potential investment opportunity, with this example offered in arguably the best and most iconic colour combination of Tornado red over grey. One of a batch of four consecutively registered Audi Quattro 20V press cars, 'G690 GNV' was first registered with its sister cars on the 17th October 1989 and was featured in a comparison with a Lancia Delta Integrale in a late ‘80s motoring magazine. Little is known of the car's history after its life in the glossy pages and it was sold into private ownership, however, the first recorded owner was a Mr Tansley of Derby who was the 5th owner from 12th October 1993. Having been through another owner after Mr Tansley, the Quattro was purchased by the vendor in 2017 starting to look rather sorry for itself and repainted from its original Tornado Red and now presented in Black. The vendor also found that the original RR 20V engine had long since departed as the original had thrown a conrod some time ago and another unit was fitted in the car. Having owned a number of Audi Quattros in his life, this simply wouldn't do for the vendor so he embarked upon a full cosmetic and mechanical overhaul over the next five years. Quattros are notoriously difficult to get parts for, and a cracked windscreen and rear light unit were only sourced by buying a pair of donor Audi Coupés to pillage parts from, and then another RR 20V Quattro to pull the engine from. This painstaking (and expensive!) process meant that 'G690 GNV' was finally reunited with the proper type of power unit and was returned to its original, and very iconic, Tornado Red colour scheme. As with many Quattro owners, the vendor decided to uprate the car with some more modern enhancements at this time and fitted an uprated Turbo Dynamics MD147KKK Turbo, 3 nozzle injectors and Scorpion Exhaust which means the car is estimated to generate around 300bhp. Of course, to put all that power onto the road the car was fitted with a new clutch and the car's brakes were also uprated, with the fitment of Brembo callipers on the front aiding stopping confidence quite considerably. Upon inspection, the dazzling Tornado Red paint still looks very fresh and such details as the bolts for the wings were evidently removed and replaced which gives the impression that a lot of care was taken to get this car right. The vendor describes the body condition as 'very good' and pointed out that both front wings were replaced during the overhaul due to the original items being rather far past their sell by date. A turn of the key and instantly recognisable sound of the potent five-cylinder power unit was ejected through the uprated exhausts and when driving us to the photography shoot location, the vendor described the mechanical condition as 'very good'. We are also pleased to say that the original interior trim is intact and it is described as 'good' by the vendor. Quattros are in high demand today and with good reason - with 23 world rally championship wins under their belt and having near enough defined what a true 80s and 90s drivers' car should be, values continue to rise. If you are looking for a good example that can be used for the show circuit this summer, then one of the press cars should do you nicely! Without further ado, "Fire up the Quattro!"

Registration No: LB52 TPO Chassis No: ZAMBC38C000009158 MOT: April 2025 • Supplied in the attractive colour combination of Silver over Black Leather interior • Offered with an extensive history file • Fitted with a new gearbox and clutch 10,000 miles ago • 114,800 recorded miles and just fitted with a new battrey Just as the DB7 did for Aston Martin, at a stroke the 3200 rejuvenated the Maserati brand. Unveiled at the 2002 Detroit Show, the 177mph Maserati Coupe (a.k.a. 4200 GT) was styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign. A direct evolution of the 3200 GT, the 4200 GT Coupe was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show in 2002 and was a genuine four-seater powered by a normally aspirated, Ferrari-based engine, of 390bhp. Developing 385bhp/332lbft, its 4244cc V8 engine was allied to a six-speed transmission that could be had in conventional manual or 'Cambiocorsa' guises (the latter incorporating electrohydraulic assistance and F1-style steering wheel paddles).

Registration No: YTH 862N Chassis No: 48110868D MOT: Exempt • Believed genuine 85,421 miles from new • Supplied with large history file dating back to the mid 1980's • Liveried in the attractive colours of Mexico Brown over a Tan cloth interior • Recently subject to recommissioning work after a period of lay up Introduced in 1963, the Rover P6 was a truly innovative design. Based around an unusual 'pontoon' chassis equipped with bolt-on panels, coil-sprung suspension (inboard at the front a la contemporary F1 cars) and servo-assisted disc brakes, it won the inaugural 'Car of the Year' award. Launched in 1971, the flagship 3500S model was powered by a 3528cc OHV V8 engine mated to four-speed manual transmission. Quoted as developing some 150bhp and 201lbft of torque, it was capable of 0-60mph in 9.2 seconds and 123mph. Sporting the same matt black grille and improved interior as its lesser post-1970 facelift siblings, it came with a vinyl roof and Rostyle type wheels as standard. According to an accompanying email from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, 'YTH 862N' was manufactured at the Lode Lane Factory in Solihull on the 11th September 1974 and was first registered on the 26th of the same month. Little is known of the early history of the 3500S, however there is history dating back to an MOT certificate on August 20th 1984 with the recorded mileage at 36,158 miles. Supplied in the iconic colours of Mexico Brown over a tan cloth interior with a Tobacco Brown vinyl roof, it has a number of optional extras including the desirable fitment of power steering. The Rover has been evidently cherished during its lifetime, with a number of big invoices on file including an extensive amount of work to the engine, brakes and clutch in 2012 for £1505.56 from Crown Classic Cars Ltd in Twickenham. Owned by the vendor since 2016, he advises that he purchased the car for his private collection from a gentleman based in Chelsea, London and drove the car for a couple of years covering around 1000 miles before laying it up in dry storage. In the vendor's ownership he has changed the tyres, completed a full respray in the original colour in 2022 and replaced the vinyl roof in 2023. The car has been recently recommissioned with an extensive service, carburettor rebuild and inlet manifold gasket. He has also completed a full rebuild of the de-dion rear suspension and the engine bay has been detailed with the airboxes being sandblasted and powder coated. The vendor advises that this range-topping Rover is now mechanically ready for the road and describes the car as being 'very good' to drive, and that the interior is very original with some wear to be expected which he has preserved rather than replacing and he describes it as 'charming'.

Registration No: ORV 530S Chassis No: ACG25719A MOT: May 2025 • Current ownership since 2016 • Fitted with a 3.5L Rover V8 mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox • Subject to an engine overhaul in 2017 • Original owner's wallet, handbook and stamped service book The Harris Mann-penned TR7 was a major departure from the original TR line. Its overtly wedge-shaped monocoque body was initially only available in Coupe guise, the Convertible variant not being launched until 1980. Power came from a front-mounted 1998cc four-cylinder engine that was effectively an 8-valve version of the proven Dolomite Sprint unit. Its output was 105bhp, which was enough to accelerate the newcomer to 60mph in 9.6 seconds and on to a terminal speed of some 112mph. The powerplant initially drove through a four-speed manual gearbox, though by 1976 this had been replaced with a five-speed one. The suspension was by MacPherson struts and coil springs at the front and a live axle and coil springs at the rear, while braking was by discs/drums and steering by rack and pinion. A Tribute to the works TR7 driven in anger by Tony Pond in the late 1970s, 'ORV 530S' has been in current ownership since 2016 and is fitted with the 3.5L Rover V8 engine mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox having started life as an automatic. The specification includes a tubular manifold and a stainless-steel exhaust system and an aluminium radiator. The subject of an engine overhaul in 2017, money was spent in May 2024 that included an oil change. Being offered with a V5C Registration Document, there is an original owner's wallet, handbook and stamped service book, a collection of old MOTs and invoices along with an MOT into May 2025.

Registration No: CKW 900 Chassis No: T76465 MOT: Exempt • A very nicely detailed 'Nippy' Evocation built around a genuine Austin body • Painstakingly assembled by the vendor over a twenty-year period using professional help • A 'labour of love' that cost some £21,000 • Tuned engine, four-speed manual gearbox, authentic tool kit and mounts etc Brainchild of Herbert Austin and Stanley Edge, the Austin Seven looked almost impossibly small when launched in 1922. Based around an 'A-frame' chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and a spiral bevel back axle, it was powered by a sewing machine-esque 747cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine allied to three-speed (later four-speed) manual transmission. An evolution of the Type EB ‘65’ which itself had been inspired by the legendary Type EA Sports ‘Ulster’, the Type AEB ‘Nippy’ arrived during 1934. Visually near identical to its immediate predecessor with the same low-slung stance and distinctive rounded tail, the newcomer was predominantly bodied in steel over an ash frame (though, early cars utilised the same aluminium panelling as the Type EB ‘65’). Powered by a tuned engine allied to four-speed manual transmission and benefiting from a lowered centre of gravity, the Type AEB ‘Nippy’ proved an amusingly brisk and chuckable sports car. Phased out in 1937, total ‘Nippy’ production is thought to have amounted to just c.800 cars. Among the more characterful Seven models, the 'Nippy' has inspired a host of imitations / recreations over the years. Missing the Nippy he owned from 1968-2020, the vendor set about having a replacement effectively scratch-built. Based on a later chassis but with a genuine Nippy body and Sports engine, this Evocation is worthy of close inspection. Bead blasted, ‘boxed’ for extra strength and black enamelled, the chassis carries a correct bowed front axle, strengthened steering radius arms, Nippy 9E steering box, Andre Hartford front / longer lever-arm rear dampers and overhauled brakes. Sitting on a new ash frame, the body panels were assembled and painted Signal Red by Paul Williams of Seven Rebuilds. Rewired throughout with armoured cabling, the two-seater was entrusted to Ruairidh Dunford of Alba Austins for an exhaustive engine overhaul complete with Kent ‘fast road’ camshaft, 9E large capacity finned aluminium sump, 14-bolt cylinder head, 9E inlet manifold and Phoenix crankshaft / conrods etc. The Zenith 30 VM–5 carburettor was refurbished by Steve Hodgson, while Vince Leek rejuvenated the Sports gearbox (marked with ‘S’ to the rear). The starter motor and dynamo were renovated by QX Components and the upholstery renewed with correct pattern ribbed leather. The wire wheels were powder coated and shod with fresh tyres. Derby Plating restored the brightwork and Jess Dilley re-cored the radiator. The project cost over £21,700. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737
Registration No: C7 DWL Chassis No: SAJJNAEC7CC122807 MOT: None • Part of the collection since 2004 • Desirable five-speed manual gearbox • Extensive history file • In need of recommissioning / renovation Introduced in October 1983, the Jaguar XJ-S 3.6 was intended to be a sharper, more sporting foil to the range's established, soporific 5.3-litre V12 model. To emphasise the difference, it was fitted with a five-speed manual Getrag gearbox as standard. With some 225bhp and 240lbft of torque on tap courtesy of its 3590cc DOHC 24 valve straight-six, the claimed 140mph top speed and 0-60mph time of 7.4 seconds were a near match for the V12. Yet when such performance was not called upon, it could reputedly return thirty miles per gallon, a feat beyond the V12's capabilities. A revised, more positive feel to the power steering improved the handling still further. Supplied new by Dutton-Forshaw North West to Canberra Wells Ltd of Manchester on 2nd August 1985, chassis SAJJNAEC7CC122807 has sixteen entries in its accompanying service book the last of which was made by D.W. Lucas Motor Engineer on 10th June 2003 at 88,656 miles. Joining the late Mr Lucas’s collection the following year, the Jaguar passed its last MOT test with ‘no advisories’ on 13th April 2007 at 93,718 miles. Covering a mere 217 since then, the XJ-S has sadly deteriorated and is now in need of recommissioning / restoration. A desirable manual gearbox car, it is surely worth saving?
Registration No: FHL 616L Chassis No: HS30011712 MOT: Exempt • An original RHD example and UK registered in 1972 • Subject to an extensive bodywork restoration and repaint in current ownership • Offered with a collection of invoices and old MOT certificates • In need of recommissioning after a period of storage • Understood to be 1 of just 1,929 240Z's sold new to Great Britain The launch timing of the Datsun 240Z (sold as the Nissan Fairlady Z in Japan) was impeccable. The much-loved Austin-Healey 3000 had recently passed to that big garage in the sky and enthusiasts were clamouring for a spiritual replacement. On paper, the first of the Z cars was unremarkable, but the sum of its parts was good enough to achieve major success on track and stage (examples won the East African Safari Rally outright in 1971 and 1973) and become a big seller - particularly in the USA, where it was very well priced compared with rival imports. It was powered by a lusty OHC straight-six engine of 2393cc that delivered 151bhp at 5600rpm. This allowed the newcomer to rush to 60mph in around eight seconds and achieve a very creditable top speed of some 125mph. A five-speed manual gearbox was standard and the suspension was independent by MacPherson struts at the front and Chapman struts at the rear. Braking was by discs front/drums rear and steering by rack and pinion. First registered on 6th October 1972, this is an original right-hand drive example of the 240Z and is understood to be 1 of just 1,929 240Z's sold new to Great Britain. In current ownership since June 2013, little is known prior to that however cosmetically, the 240Z has benefitted from bodywork restoration and re-paint between 2013 and 2017 with receipts on file for paint, sundries and bodywork repairs, including an £800 receipt for bodywork in 2017. December 2014 saw new door handles purchased. In October 2015, the engine bay and front running gear were cleaned and painted. Other cosmetic improvements include a Mota-Lita wood-rim steering wheel at a cost of £290, a March 2017 receipt for a set of stainless-steel Datsun 240Z bumpers at a cost of £875; new tail-lights were purchased in December 2014 and new turn signal lenses in July 2017; a 2019 Rota Shop purchase of alloy wheels at a cost of £560. Many trim parts had to be purchased from the USA and beyond and included seals, rubbers, clips, badges and trim. A new Pilkington Classics windscreen was ordered in March 2017 at a cost of £363.14. Mechanically, an alloy radiator was purchased for £210 in September 2016; brake parts were purchased in June 2017; 2019 saw a cylinder head repair by Barton Street Engineering, Stockport; undersealing and Waxoyling; new rear brake cylinders and brake discs purchased; Bob’s Auto Electrics were used to fault-find electrics and a new starter was also fitted in April 2020; heater hose, a battery and a brake servo (at a cost of £249.95) were purchased in 2021. In need of recommissioning after a period of storage, the 240Z is offered with a large collection of invoices and notes regarding the restoration work, along with old MOT certificates and a current V5c document.

An original RHD example and recorded as first registered in the UK on 1st January 1972 'XSC 909K' is understood to be 1 of just 1,929 240Z's sold new to Great Britain and has resided in current ownership since 1989. It was the subject of an extensive bodywork restoration and repaint in c.2006 and some copies of old restoration photographs are on file. Much work has been carried out over the years, as evident from the many invoices on file. Mechanical work has previously included a 3-row core radiator fitted and a new alternator and starter motor plus the fitment of a timing chain is invoiced in 2006. Other engine work invoiced in 2006 includes the bore and hone of +.5mm (020”) by Mersons Engine Reconditioning, Stockport, the refacing of the block, heads, honing of the cylinders was carried out along with the grinding of the crank by Dave Rushton Engines, Stoke on Trent, also in 2006. A performance camshaft kit was ordered from Japan in 2006 and presumed to have been fitted. In need of recommissioning/restoration after a period of storage, this 240Z is being offered with a collection of old MOT certificates and a large collection of invoices from the late ‘90s and early 2000s plus a current V5c document.

Registration No: VRW 94H Chassis No: CP51462L0 MOT: Exempt • Current family ownership since 2004 • Original RHD example with overdrive • Offered with a collection of invoices and old MOT certificates • Subject to a major service and cylinder head overhaul in 2019 Introduced in 1968 as a replacement for the outgoing TR250/TR5 models, the Triumph TR6 proved a strong seller on both sides of the Atlantic. Crisply styled, its smooth flowing lines and Kamm tail hid a cruciform-braced chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, disc/drum brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by a refined 2498cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed plus overdrive manual transmission, it was deceptively fast with contemporary road testers recording 0-60mph in 8.2 seconds and a 121mph top speed. Writing in 1969, Autocar magazine went as far as to comment that "Even if the Austin-Healey 3000 had not been dropped, the TR6 would have taken over as the he-man's sports car in its own right".

Registration No: R469 ESG Chassis No: ZFFZR49C000110374 MOT: T.B.A • 43,100 recorded miles and 6 former private keepers • The subject of a service and belt change in 2022 • 1 of just 457 UK-supplied examples • Fitted with gated 6-speed manual transmission • Offered with original owners wallet, handbooks and service book Ferrari's 550 Maranello was introduced as a replacement for the F512 M in 1996 and found much acclaim during its five years of production. It featured a 484bhp front-mounted naturally-aspirated 5.5 litre V12 engine driving the rear wheels through a transaxle - the six-speed manual gearbox being located at the rear for optimum weight distribution. Suspension was by double wishbone, coil springs and anti-roll bars all-round and the braking by ventilated discs front and rear. The Pininfarina designed all-alloy body was mounted on a tubular steel chassis. A pukka GT car out of the Daytona mould, it offered speeds of up to 199 mph coupled with the ability to accelerate from 0-60mph in just 4.3 seconds - the sort of performance figures that wouldn't have disgraced an F1 car once upon a time. With a luxurious and roomy interior and a boot that accommodated at least a set of overnight bags (or a full set of golf clubs), this was the perfect car for dashing through Europe - Monte Carlo one weekend, Rome the next. It was replaced in 2001 by the 575M Maranello. Though not intended for use in motorsport, the 550 Maranello was nevertheless adopted for racing by a number of privateer teams, to good effect. 2003 was arguably the year of best results, with Prodrive winning the GTS class in the Le Mans 24-hour race and finishing second in the GTS class of the American Le Mans Series, and Scuderia Italia winning the FIA GT championship.

Registration No: DOL 1K Chassis No: 11304222016969 MOT: Exempt • Desirable UK-supplied, right-hand drive example • Subject to an exhaustive restoration that was completed in 2022 • Very minimal mileage since the completion of the restoration and still presenting excellently! • Attractive colour scheme and worthy of close inspection! Successor to both the exotic race bred 300SL 'Gullwing' Coupe and its humbler 190SL sibling, the W113 series SL proved more comfortable than the former and faster than the latter (a point emphasised by Eugen Bohringer's 1963 Liege-Sofia-Liege rally victory). First of the line, the 230SL was introduced at the March 1963 Geneva Salon. Penned by Paul Bracq, its wonderfully crisp styling clothed a monocoque chassis equipped with all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and disc brakes. Powered by a 2308cc SOHC straight-six engine mated to either an automatic or manual transmission, the model was credited with 150bhp and 159lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of 124mph, it was praised by the contemporary motoring press for its performance, roadholding, and refinement. Available in Californian Coupe, Convertible or Coupe Convertible guises, the last of these came with both a soft-top and the famous 'Pagoda' hardtop roof, so called because of its gently scalloped centre section. A highly desirable UK-supplied, right-hand drive Pagoda, this particular example was first registered in the United Kingdom as ‘DOL 1K’ on the 8th of February 1967. In previous private ownership from 1995, the Pagoda was acquired by the vendor, a serial commissioner of classic car restorations, in 2013 requiring attention. Much of the ensuing exhaustive restoration work was entrusted to Heritage Classics of Teesside, with the restoration work undertaken including, but not limited to, a comprehensive bodywork restoration and full repaint in the beautiful Blue hue as presented now; engine overhaul with new camshaft, big end, pistons, and the injection system renovated; gearbox overhaul; fuel system refreshed; full interior re-trim in Red leather including new carpets and a Black hood; renewed brakes with new discs and pads; and numerous renewed and restored cosmetics/trims, as well as new tyres. The restoration reached completion in 2017, with invoices on file totaling over £43,000 worth of expenditure (with significant further expense provided), and since the renovation's completion, a mere c.600 miles or so have been covered attending selected shows and events. Now showing just shy of 76,000 miles on the odometer, the logbook has only four former keepers recorded. Offered for sale with a history file that comprises the aforementioned invoices, a copy of the data card, a photo album of the restoration, and the current V5C document. Desirable, due to being a scarce UK-supplied example, and coming to market having only been ‘run-in’ from exhaustive restoration, this Pagoda is an inviting prospect. Not only that, but a useful body-coloured hardtop that be deployed in the chilly winter months is a bonus too.

Registration No: B60 NUT Chassis No: CWF0AXXGCAAEY49886 MOT: None One former keeper and 19,000 miles from newPart of the collection since 2001Original supplying dealer rear window sticker, tax disc holder and number plates etcUnworn spare wheel, front seat covers, sunroof, five-speed manualLaunched in September 1980 and codenamed ‘Erika’, the MK3 Escort was benchmarked against the VW Golf and Honda Civic. Adopting front-wheel drive for the first time, the newcomer also featured a lighter but stiffer monocoque bodyshell, all-round independent suspension and disc / drum brakes. Typically powered by Ford’s vaunted CVH overhead camshaft engines in 1.3 or 1.6 litre guises, the hatchback could be had with manual or automatic transmission. Buyers could choose from Popular, L, GL and Ghia trim levels with the latter being notable well appointed. According to its accompanying original sales invoice, chassis GCAAEY49886 was supplied new by Sandicliffe Ford of Loughborough to local resident Peter Leavesley at a cost of £6,260. Finished in Paris Blue metallic with Navy cloth upholstery, the Escort 1.6 Ghia was first registered as ‘B60 NUT’ on 2nd March 1985. Taking out an extended Extra Cover warranty, Mr Leavesley kept the hatchback until it entered the late Mr Lucas’s collection during 2001. Warranted to have covered a mere 19,266 post-delivery miles with supporting service records and old MOTs etc, the five-seater has essentially been mothballed for the last twenty-three years. Highly original, it is a real timewarp but in need of recommissioning / renovation.
Registration No: CV 9845 Chassis No: 2684112 MOT: Exempt • Subject to an engine overhaul in 2017 • Believed to be 1 of just 107 examples known to survive • Offered with original spare parts list and instruction manual Intended to complement the six-cylinder Hornet, the four-cylinder Nine joined the Wolseley range for 1934. Based around a sturdy ladder-frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, the newcomer was powered by a SOHC 1018cc engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Surprisingly roomy despite its 7ft 9in wheelbase and 3ft 9in track, the `baby' Wolseley was reputedly capable of 59mph. While, the vast majority of Nines were supplied as four-door saloons, just 7,201 are thought to have been made (though, the spilt between open and closed cars is unknown). Presented in Maroon over Black with original Dark Chestnut hide trim, notably advertised in period as the ‘aristocrat of the 9hp field’ with an OHC engine, hydraulic brakes and a 4-speed synchromesh gearbox all as standard. Interestingly, the original ‘Pedomatic’ automatic starter system is still operational! In addition to the V5C, the paperwork file includes various invoices - including for an engine overhaul in 2018, original parts and instruction manuals, sales brochure, press information club mags etc. In recent years 'CV' has been in a private collection and has been well-maintained (including engine overhaul in 2018) with occasional use and is reported to ‘run and drive’ well. An excellent opportunity to acquire a ‘quality’ 1930s saloon in running order and in good condition throughout with a very attractive original interior and the benefit of a recently overhauled engine.

Registration No: TAW 234H Chassis No: 4712907849 MOT: Exempt • Significantly improved during current ownership • Finished from new in special order (two-year only) Metallic Gold paintwork • Highly original example that was supplied new to California • Matching numbers example • Supplied new with Porsche Certificate of Conformity By the late 1960s, Porsche was looking for a replacement for its 912, while Volkswagen needed a substitute for the outgoing Karmann Ghia. The companies agreed on a collaborative solution and the 914 was born in 1969. A mid-engined chassis was penned and manufactured by Karmann Ghia. Versions to be sold by Volkswagen (914/4) were initially equipped with a 1.7-litre version of the company's air-cooled flat-four unit and other VW hardware, while examples destined for Porsche showrooms (914/6) were sent to Stuttgart and fitted with the same 2.0-litre flat six engine as used in the 911T. Both cars utilised the 911's '901' gearbox suitably modified for the mid-engined configuration. It was felt double-branding would be risky in America, so both versions carried the Porsche badge there. Though the quicker and better handling of the two cars, the 914/6 suffered from slow sales and was discontinued in 1972 after a production run of some 3,350 cars. The resulting gap in the line-up was filled by a second Volkswagen engined model powered by a 95bhp 2.0-litre version of the company's fuel-injected Type 4 unit. 914/4 production ceased in 1976 after in excess of 115,646 examples had been made, making it Porsche's best-selling model of the time. Chassis ‘4712907849’ was manufactured in December 1970 for the 1971 model year, being supplied new to California. Finished in the two-year only (MY 1971 and 1972) paintwork colour of Gold Metallic with Midnight leatherette with Basketweave inlay interior upholstery, the 914 was specified from new with Green top tinted windscreen. Provided with a comprehensive restoration while a resident of America (believed between 2010 and 2015), the 914 was thereafter imported by a British collector, arriving on our shores in 2017. A highly original and ‘matching’ numbers example, the 914 has been provided with much further improvement in recent years. The most significant works have been a top-end engine overhaul costing over £2,000 by air cooled engine specialists Aircooled Hut, and bodywork attention including to the notorious ‘hell hole’ costing almost £2,000. Additional maintenance and improvement work completed over the last few years has included four new tyres, a fuel system refresh with a new fuel pump, renewed starting equipment by Mellors Elliot including 123 distributor, and an inspection by Porsche Centre Sheffield. Starting readily and running well during the recent photography session, the 914 presents on the correct type Mahle alloy wheels with spare and has 99,000 miles recorded on the odometer. Offered with a history file that includes documentation from the Porsches time in America, a collection of invoices for maintenance and improvements from here and in America, a Porsche Certificate of Conformity, owner manual, 914 Tech Tips guide, Maintenance and Warranty Guide, and a current V5C document, and is also accompanied by a car cover. Notably nice 914 examples such as this are few and far between, and this example finished from new in a two-year only colour and with matching numbers has much to recommend it.

Registration No: 501 UYR Chassis No: 105E115195 MOT: Exempt • Well known historic racer with ownership history from new • A previous Goodwood Revival entrant • 1500cc pre-crossflow engine • Mechanical overhaul in 2020 with over £15,000 worth of expenditure Ford's fourth and last Anglia - the 105E - broke cover in 1959. The styling displayed a strong American influence and included a sweeping nose, notchback rear window, and muted tail fins. The newcomer benefited from an equally new engine, a 997cc OHV straight-four unit codenamed ‘Kent', versions of which powered all manner of Fords for years after. It was mated to a four-speed manual gearbox with synchromesh on the top three ratios. The suspension was by MacPherson strut at the front and leaf-sprung live axle at the rear. Motorsport is engrained in the Blue Oval's DNA and the 105E Anglia played its part in the company's competition history, including winning the 1966 British Touring Car Championship. Chassis ‘105E115195’ is a well-known example, that was converted into race car specification in 1997 and has previously belonged to John Smith, JF Toplis, Ralph Forbes, Andy Baillie, Nick Morgan, John Atkins, Alex Postan, Grahame Bryant, and Peter Kennerly, and competed in many rally and race meetings; including the Goodwood Revival in 2001 and 2003. Its roof once carried the signatures of 52 drivers, including Sir Stirling Moss, Gerry Marshall and Win Percy, although none are now visible. The Anglia is accompanied by a large history file including previous ownership records, previous FIA papers and HSCC identity form, restoration photos, technical information, a collection of invoices and MOTs, and sundry paperwork. Benefitting from a significant mechanical overhaul in 2019 – 2020 with over £15,000 worth of expenditure, the Anglia received a full engine overhaul of the 1500cc pre-crossflow engine completed by Gathercole Race Engines (invoice included in the images), a new underslung pedal box, and a full brake kit from Burton Power. In current ownership since 2022, the 105E been used on track once in his ownership, after a thorough preparation. ‘115195’ would now benefit from a tune before any future competition, but represents a reasonably priced entry into historic racing.

Registration No: X847 WVK Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z1S641006 MOT: February 2025 • c.103,000 recorded miles from 6 former keepers • Offered with owners wallet, handbook and service book • 3.4-litre engine mated to a Tiptronic gearbox • Current V5c document Asked to nominate his favourite generation of Porsche 911 during its 50th Anniversary celebrations in 2013, racing driver and journalist Tiff Needell chose the 996 commenting: "This was the model that brought the 911 into the modern world. We finally got rid of the VW pedals and had a chassis that handled in a much more progressive and controllable manner. Not a convert before, completely converted after!" Traditionalists may have decried the 996's water-cooled engine and shared Boxster componentry, however, the newcomer's use of a brand-new platform (the 911's first since 1963) meant that it was notably lighter, stiffer, and more aerodynamic than its 993 predecessor. Equipped with four-valve cylinder heads, the 996's 3.4-litre engine developed 296bhp and 258lbft (outputs comparable to those of the 993 Carrera RS's 3.8-litre unit). Allied to either a six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the free-revving flat-six enabled the 2+2-seater to sprint to 60mph in 5 seconds and onto 174mph. More ergonomically laid out and spacious than that of any previous 911, the 996's cabin also boasted a far better HVAC system.

Registration No: NCY 961 Chassis No: GV5173541 MOT: Exempt • Part of the collection since at least the late 1970s • Subject to an older restoration • A rare survivor • In need of recommissioning / renovation Introduced in 1947, the A40 was Austin's first 'clean sheet' post-WW2 family saloon design. Based on a sturdy chassis frame equipped with independent front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes, the newcomer was powered by a 1200cc OHV four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. With some 40bhp on tap, it was reputedly capable of over 70 mph. Once production was in full swing and the principal Devon (four-door) and Dorset (two-door) saloon models firmly established, other variants joined the A40 line-up including a Jensen-designed sports four-seater, 10cwt pick-up, 10cwt van and estate car (or 'Countryman' as it was known). Styled in-house by Dick Burzi, the commercial A40s contrived to be stylish yet practical. Though, today - thanks to years of overloading, stop-start motoring and general abuse - survivors are few and far between. First registered in Swansea on 19th April 1956 (or so its ‘NCY 961’ number plate would imply), chassis GV5173541 has been part of the late Mr Lucas’s collection since at least the late 1970s when the DVLA computerised their records. Self-evidently the subject of past restoration work, the Austin’s odometer shows 33,552 unwarranted miles. Passing its most recent MOT test on 15th May 2012, the A40 Countryman is now in need of recommissioning / renovation.
Registration No: V54 KGK Chassis No: WBACH32010LE92931 MOT: May 2025 • c.63,800 miles from new and just 4 former keepers • Offered with original bookpack, handbook and service book • Collection of invoices and old MOT certificates • Finished in Topasblau Metallic with a Blue leather interior Styled in-house by Jogi Nagashima, the BMW Z3 entered production in September 1995. Derived from the contemporaneous E36 3-Series Saloon (though, its semi-trailing arm rear suspension was courtesy of the earlier E30), the Roadster's running gear included power-assisted rack and pinion steering, Macpherson strut independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Initially powered by 1.8 or 1.9 litre four-cylinder engines allied to either manual or automatic transmission, larger capacity 2.8 Litre straight-six units joined the Z3 range from 1996 onwards. Boasting 52:48 weight distribution and a top speed of over 125mph, the stylish two-seater found fame as James Bond's transport in the 1995 film 'Goldeneye'. Presented in Topasblau Metallic with a Blue leather interior with heated seats and a Blue soft-top, this Z3 2.8 displays some c.63,800 miles from new and has had just 4 former keepers. As part of the car's upkeep, it has had a new hood switch and an oil change in 2023. One of the last of the 2.8s, it is offered with a current V5C. There’s a collection of invoices and old MOT paperwork, the original owner's wallet, handbook and service book with 8 stamps within and a current V5c document.

Registration No: VYB 6W Chassis No: AMHLF79D137888 MOT: Exempt • 46,788 recorded miles • Current V5c document, owners handbook and a few old MOT certificates • Offered from long-term ownership of 30 years • A very original example The front-wheel drive Allegro was British Leyland's replacement for the Issigonis-designed 1100 and 1300, and featured an evolution of the suspension developed for that car. Available as a two- or four-door Saloon and three-door Estate, it was powered by a range of the company's A- and E-Series engines ranging from 1100cc to 1750cc. A MK2 version was readied in time for the 1975 London Motorshow, which brought a welcome selection of improvements and upgrades. The so-called S3 1500 was in production from 1979 to 1982. Available in four-door form only, it was powered by a 1485cc engine of 68bhp mated to either a five-speed manual gearbox or four-speed automatic transmission. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760
Registration No: MMW 528 Chassis No: AS4142965 MOT: Exempt • Part of the collection since 1985 • 58,755 recorded miles (unwarranted) • In need of recommissioning / renovation Unveiled at the October 1951 Earls Court Motor Show but not entering production until the following May, the Austin A30 (or ‘New Austin Seven’ as it was also called) bristled with innovation. The work of ex-aeronautical engineer T.K. Garrett, the newcomer’s fully stressed monocoque bodyshell was notably lightweight. Powered by an 803cc A-Series OHV engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the compact four-seater was capable of some 70mph. Initially available in four-door guise only, two-door and estate versions were quick to join the line-up. Attributed to Holden ‘Bob’ Koto of the revered Raymond Loewy Design Studios albeit with input from Austin's inhouse stylist Dick Burzi, the A30’s bulbous, cartoon-esque lines only added to its appeal. Priced to undercut its arch rival, the Morris Minor, some 223,264 were made prior to the 1956 arrival of the A35. First registered in Wiltshire on 20th July 1955 (or so its ‘MMW 528’’ number plate would imply), chassis AS4-142965 belonged to John Jones of Stalybridge by the late 1970s. Joining the late Mr Lucas’s collection in 1985, the Austin shows 58,755 unwarranted miles to the odometer. Off the road for decades, it will require recommissioning / renovation prior to use.
Registration No: UWO 187H Chassis No: MAW5D1255947M MOT: Exempt • Finished in Smoke Grey with a light Blue interior • Offered with original handbook, accessories brochure and passport to service • Current V5c document and a collection of old MOT certificates and invoices • Said to drive 'very' well and will be driven to the sale Debuting alongside Jaguar's superbly glamorous XK120 at the 1948 London Motor Show, the Morris Minor was somewhat overshadowed. An exceptionally advanced design, the Minor was the brainchild of Sir Alec Issigonis. With a monocoque chassis, independent torsion-bar front suspension, all-round hydraulic drum brakes and rack and pinion steering the model possessed excellent handling but lacked the horsepower to exploit it. However, things improved markedly when the four-cylinder 1098cc OHV A-series equipped Series V was introduced in 1962. With up to 45bhp and 60lbft of torque being transmitted to its rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox, the Series V was reputedly capable of 77mph. From 1965, no further major production improvements were made to the Minor, with resources being channelled into improving the ADO16 (the Minor's spiritual successor and Britain's best-selling car in the 1960s), and development of the Morris Marina, which would succeed the Minor on the Cowley production lines in 1971.

Registration No: A13 BSM Chassis No: WDB2020332F851527 MOT: April 2025 • 1 of just 450 supplied to the UK market • To be sold with personalised registration number • Showing four keepers from new • Offered with extensive service history and original owners book pack • AMG Styling package and tool kit • Finished in Brilliant Silver with a Black leather interior Notable as the first AMG model to be manufactured (rather than completed) at the famous tuner's Affalterbach facility, the W202 C43 was also the first C-Class to be powered by Mercedes-Benz's mighty M113 engine. Developing a quoted 306bhp/302lbft of torque, the naturally aspirated V8 was allied to five-speed automatic transmission. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.7 seconds and an electronically limited 155mph, the W202 C43 AMG was only in production from 1997-2000 by which time some 4,200 had been sold worldwide. First registered on the 6th September 1999, 'A13 BSM' was supplied finished in the iconic Mercedes colours of Metallic Silver with a multi-contoured Black & Silver leather interior sitting proudly upon a set of AMG Monoblock alloy wheels. Amenities include heated power seats, climate control, after market radio/CD/Bluetooth, full size unused spare, first aid kit, warning triangle and tool kit. Having been owned by three previous owners to the vendor (who has only owned the car since May 2024, as he took it in part exchange against another classic), it comes with its original service pack showing an full service history with no fewer than 11 main dealer stamps and 10 specialist stamps, the most recent of which was less than 4000 miles ago. Described as having 'good condition' paintwork and bodywork, the vendor also advises that there is a small amount of rust bubbling on the rear arches and a small bubble on the roof, which should be easy enough to rectify. The vendor describes the car to be mechanically in 'very good condition' and that all components 'work as they should', describing the interior as being in 'very good' condition with the no wear to the driver's bolster. This rare German sports saloon is supplied with a file full of invoices, 9 MOTs and the owner's manual along with the stamped service book.

Registration No: XPD 376G Chassis No: KC52273 MOT: March 2025 • Two owners and just 98,000 miles from new • In current ownership for over fifty years (since 1973) • Always kept under cover and professionally maintained throughout the vendor’s ownership • Supplied with a large history file including the original handbook and service book To counter the Austin-Healey Sprite budget sports from their then arch-rivals BMC, Triumph rushed out the Spitfire, which was essentially an open 2-seater version of the Herald saloon, employing the same 1147cc engine, chassis and swing-axle rear suspension. Styled by Michelotti, the Spitfire MkI to V was made from 1962 to 1980. Pitched against the MGB GT, a 1998cc 6-cylinder Vitesse engined Spitfire with Fixed Head Fastback Coupe body, the GT6 MkI, was offered 1966-1968. The 1968-1970 GT6 MkII had improved rear suspension and higher MkIII Spitfire bumpers, whilst the improved 1970-1973 GT6 MkIII with Spitfire MkIV styling ended the line. Once considered the ‘poor man’s E-Type Jaguar’, this gutsy Triumph GT is now very much sought after by collectors with values on the rise as a consequence. Chassis ‘KC52273’ was manufactured in 1969 and was supplied new through T. Hawkins & Sons of Epsom to its first owner, a resident of Epsom, being first registered on the 1st of March that year. Finished in Conifer Green paintwork from the factory, with Black interior upholstery and a wooden dashboard, ‘XPD 376G’ was retained by the first owner for the first four years of the Triumph's life. Thereafter purchased by the second owner (the vendor) from Dolphin Square Garage in London SW1, being part exchanged with a Triumph Toledo, and with just 23,000 miles covered. Retained by the vendor to date, the GT6 has travelled the United Kingdom with the vendor (residing in NW London, Yorkshire Dales, Cumbria, and Lancashire), as well as a period living in Hørsholm, Denmark. Kept under cover throughout the whole of the vendor’s custodianship, the Triumph has been always garaged other than while in Denmark, where the GT6 resided under a carport. Offered now with a genuine 98,400 miles from new, the GT6 has been maintained professionally throughout the current ownership, with a focus on maintaining originality. Most recently, the maintenance work completed has comprised a full service, rear brake fresh, and fuel line replacement in May this year; a new alternator and drive belt in 2023; engine tuning, bodywork improvements, and new starting equipment in 2021; driveshafts overhauled in 2020; and refreshed rear suspension in 2019. Supplied with a large history file that contains the original handbook and service book; a significant collection of MOT certificates back to 1981, current no advisory MOT certificate until March next year, a vast selection of maintenance and servicing invoices; several tax discs; the vendors purchase invoice; workshop manual; and a current V5C document. Accompanied by two car covers, spares package, jack, wheel fitment tool, spare wheel, and two sets of keys. A well-used example that has been maintained with a view of retaining originality as much as possible, GT6s with just two owners from new are surely few and far between!

Registration No: J25 LMR Chassis No: WP0ZZZ94ZMN430364 MOT: June 2025 • In current ownership since 2016 and just four former keepers • Provided with a cambelt change including new rollers and tensioners less than 100 miles ago • Offered with documented service history • Rare and desirable UK-supplied S2 model (the majority of the 5,656 944 S2 Cabriolets made were LHD) Introduced in 1989, the Porsche 944 S2 was powered by a 3-litre DOHC four-cylinder engine allied to a five-speed manual transmission. With a quoted 208bhp and 207lbft of torque on tap, the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6 seconds and 150mph. The first open-topped 944 derivative - the S2 Cabriolet - featured a body built by the American Sunroof Company (ASC) of Weinsberg, Germany and many of the same styling cues as its Coupe sibling. Just 5,656 944 S2 Cabriolets were made before the model was superseded by the 968 in 1991. Chassis ‘430364’ was manufactured in 1991 and supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 22nd August. Finished in Light Blue paintwork, with Blue leather interior upholstery and a Blue hood, ‘J25 LMR’ covered the majority of its mileage in the early stages of its life, surpassing 100,000 miles by 2002. Purchased by the vendor in 2016, the 944 already boasted a strong history file with extensive service, maintenance, and improvement records on file. Further enhanced during the vendor's ownership, the 944 received a new windscreen and starter motor in 2017, new brake discs in 2018, and a new pressure regulator in 2022. In 2021, the 944 benefitted from some £1,100 worth of improvements with Loe Bank Porsche specialists with new spark plugs; the cam belt, rollers, and tensioners all replaced; and further mechanical attention, with less than 100 miles covered since. Also receiving recent new brake discs and pads, the 944 is offered now having covered c.142,700 miles, and has just four former keepers, the Cabriolet is supplied with a large history file which comprises the aforementioned numerous previous invoices, invoices from the vendor’s ownership, a large selection of MOTs dating back to the 1990s, and extensive service history across two service books and service invoices in the file illustrating sixteen services. Further supplied with two sets of keys, original tool kit, jack and spare, a current MOT until June 2025 with no advisories, and a current V5C document.

Registration No: WTE 864M Chassis No: CR/58450 MOT: Exempt • Subject to a comprehensive restoration throughout the 2010s • Fitted with overdrive from new • Desirable UK-supplied example • Extensive history file detailing the restoration and ongoing servicing by the late owner Introduced in 1968 as a replacement for the outgoing TR250/TR5 models, the Triumph TR6 proved a strong seller on both sides of the Atlantic. Crisply styled, its smooth flowing lines and Kamm tail hid a cruciform-braced chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, disc/drum brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by a refined 2498cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed plus overdrive manual transmission, it was deceptively fast with contemporary road testers recording 0-60mph in 8.2 seconds and a 121mph top speed. Writing in 1969, Autocar magazine went as far as to comment that "Even if the Austin-Healey 3000 had not been dropped, the TR6 would have taken over as the he-man's sports car in its own right".

Registration No: KWE 690D Chassis No: B325000551HH0 MOT: Exempt • Just 56,000 miles from new • Supplied new to a Maria Eunice Cheslyn Healey of Sheffield • Starting readily and running well during the recent photography session • Offered with a large history file including MOTs back to 1970 Announced at the London Motor Show of 1955, the Sunbeam Rapier was the first of a new range of Rootes cars that was to include the Hillman Minx and the Singer Gazelle. A complete departure from the Sunbeam MKIII it replaced, it was a modern-looking two-door, four-seater Coupe with such standard equipment as leather trim and overdrive. The bodies were built by Pressed Steel, shipped to Thrupp & Maberly in London for painting and trimming, and then moved to the Rootes plant at Ryton-on-Dunsmore for final assembly. Though initially a little underpowered, the Rapier had inherently excellent handling and was quickly adopted for rallying. Indeed the launch of the Series II version took place at the end of the 1958 Monte Carlo Rally in which Peter Harper's Works Rapier had finished fifth overall. Over its twenty-one year reign, the model progressed through five series, the swansong being the Series V derivative introduced in 1965. Though visually almost identical to its predecessor, it was notable for its larger, five-bearing engine of 1725cc capacity. Just 3,759 Series Vs were built, making it the rarest of all versions of the model. Manufactured in 1966, the Series V Rapier offered was supplied new to a Maria Eunice Cheslyn Healey of Sheffield, being first registered on the road on the 23rd of February that year. Finished in Light Blue paintwork with a White roof, the Sunbeam features complementary Light Blue interior upholstery and carpets. Covering minimal mileage throughout its ownership, the Rapier is now offered to market having just shy of only 56,000 miles from new on the odometer. Purchased by the vendor's late father in 2018, the Sunbeam has been used occasionally, and started readily and ran well during the recent photography session, with the vendor noting that ‘KWE 690D’ drives very well, although the overdrive is not currently working (believed due to an unconfirmed wiring/solenoid issue). Offered with a large history file that contains a large selection of MOTs dating back to 1970, the buff logbook, numerous previous invoices, workshop manual, sales literature, and current V5C document. Temptingly offered without reserve, this matching chassis and engine numbers Rapier is a usable low mileage example.

Registration No: HDK 222N Chassis No: ML7335SCO MOT: Exempt Part of the collection since 2000 and retained by its previous keeper for twenty-one yearsPreviously supplied by E. Rowland & Sons Ltd of KnaresboroughHighly original interior14,368 recorded miles (unwarranted)Four-speed manual plus overdrive transmissionIntroduced in October 1969, the MK2 version of Triumph’s critically acclaimed 2000 / 2500 range utilised the same monocoque construction, all-round independent suspension and disc / drum brakes as its predecessor. Restyled by Giovanni Michelotti, the newcomer presaged the aesthetics of the upcoming Stag sportscar. More popular and reliable than its larger capacity sibling, the 2000 MK2 was powered by a twin carburettor-fed 1998cc 90bhp/117lbft straight-six allied to either four-speed manual or automatic transmission. Notably light and airy, the estate version had its rear bodywork crafted by Carbodies. The last of the six-cylinder Triumphs, the 2000 / 2500 cars have inspired a loyal following. First registered in Rochdale on 26th March 1975 (or so its ‘HDK 222N’ number plate would imply), chassis ML7335SCO was acquired by its previous (believed second) keeper, Thomas Wardle, four years later before joining the late Mr Lucas’s collection during 2000. Pleasingly retaining its original interior, the Triumph shows an unwarranted 14,638 miles to the odometer. Finished in the period combination of Cream with Brown upholstery and previously supplied by E. Rowland & Sons Ltd of Knaresborough, the 2000 MK2 has the benefit of overdrive. The most recent MOT certificate on file was issued on June 4th 2003 at 13,943 miles. In need of recommissioning / renovation.

The Series III of 1971-1985 was the most numerous, with some 440,000 being produced. Outwardly it was almost identical to the IIA, but the gearbox now, thankfully, benefitted from synchromesh on all ratios, while the cab featured a more modern, moulded plastic facia.

"The author hath forborne," he says in his preface, "to affix his name; not that he is ashamed to own it, but wishes the reader to regard things more than empty names."'Chetham's prefaces are in Diogenes vein, curt and caustic; he escapes from the category of manual makers, and takes rank as one of the original writers on the sport. He is indebted, indeed, to his forerunners, but acknowledges it; he improves on their systems, and calls attention to the fact. He is never servile, nor plagiaristic, always honest, sometimes a little surly.' (Westwood & Satchell).
