1977 Porsche 911 'Restomod' (3.0 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:110944The Porsche 911 is the flagship car of the German manufacturer. It has a distinctive design, rear-engined, with independent rear suspension, an evolution of the swing axle on the Porsche 356. Since its introduction in 1963, the 911 has undergone continuous development although the basic concept has remained little changed. Throughout its lifetime, the 911 has been modified by private teams and by the factory itself for racing, rallying and other forms of competition and is among the most successful competition cars ever. The earliest edition of the 911 had a flat-six engine in the 'boxer' configuration, similar to the 356, air-cooled, rear-mounted and displaced 1991cc. It was mated to a four or five-speed manual 'Type 901' gearbox. Starting life as a 1977 911L, this fantastic example was to become a car that did it all, with the specification designed by the vendor, a life-long Porsche enthusiast. The plan was to build the ultimate roadgoing 911, taking the experience gained by both the vendors years of racing along with Autofarm's excellent mechanical experience to create what would now be known as a 'Restomod'. Every element of the car was looked at and considered to create the best overall package where headline figures weren't the aim, nor was the plan to create something with lots of trinkets adorning it.Imported from Europe to the UK in 1985, the vendor acquired the car in 1997 and a year later decided he was ready to start the rebuild. The car was completely stripped down and given a bare metal respray in Speedwell Green. The paint job was a high-quality job and over 25 years later it still presents better than most freshly painted examples. A 3.0 litre engine was built and installed by Autofarm, who also modified the wiring loom to accommodate it and installed and set up all the suspension. The car's interior was completely re-trimmed along with an original Blaupunkt radio being fitted. Every aspect of the car received attention, culminating in what we see here. The vendor has been on many trips all over Europe and enjoyed many happy years with the car. He reports it to run and drive extremely well, wanting for nothing and is only offered for sale as he has decided to thin out his collection.Supplied with a V5C registration document, file of receipts and old MoT test certificates going back to 1990. The car will be delivered to the auction having just been serviced by Porsche West Byfleet, who have maintained the car since 2009. Lovingly known as Kermit, this wonderful example doesn't disappoint offering not only comfort, but also performance, this is a 911 not to be missed.

1998 Land Rover 90 TDI Transmission: manualMileage:The Land Rover Defender 90 is a rugged and capable SUV that was designed for off-road adventures. It was introduced by Land Rover in 1983. The Defender 90 has a boxy and utilitarian design, with a tough chassis and a powerful engine. It was equipped with a four-wheel drive system, making it capable of traversing difficult terrain. The Defender 90 was a popular choice among off-road enthusiasts and was also used by military and law enforcement agencies around the world. Today the Land Rover Defender 90 is a highly sought-after collector's item for those who appreciate its iconic design and legendary off-road capability.This absolutely stunning example of this iconic British 4x4 model has been the subject of extensive restoration and finished to a very high standard, where all parts were either renewed or refurbished. Its original 300 TDi engine was taken out, stripped and rebuilt. The underneath of this Land Rover is as good as it is on top, showing its new galvanized Richards chassis, new shock absorbers, brakes etc fabulous! Finished in Heritage Green with a tan/black interior and a new beige canvas hood which looks superb. There are bench seats to the rear offering great capacity for extra persons, should the occasion arise to give anyone a lift! Its 2.5 litre diesel engine is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and produces great towing power and torque. Stunning!
Lot 155
1966 Triumph TR4A IRS Transmission: manualMileage:A wonderful mix of British brawn and Italian style, the Michelotti-styled TR4 was powered by a torquey 2,138cc four-cylinder twin-carb engine mated to an all-synchro four-speed box that could launch the car to 60mph in 10.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 105mph. Optional Laycock de Normanville electrically operated overdrive could now be selected for second and third gear as well as fourth, effectively providing the TR4 with a seven-speed close ratio gearbox. In 1965 the car gained a new chassis with more sophisticated independent rear suspension (in place of the old live axle) for more predictable handling and an improved ride, these models being known as the TR4A. By the time production ceased in mid-1967, some 28,450 TR4As had been sold, the vast majority to the American market. First registered in Hertfordshire in June 1966, this UK market TR4A comes with a large history file extending back to the early 1980s. Between 1993 and 1999 it was treated to a body-off restoration by Revington TR Ltd of Somerset with many new panels fitted along with new bumpers and a full repaint in British Racing Green. It appears that it also had a substantial mechanical overhaul but as all the invoices only list part numbers, it is hard to be sure exactly what was done. A new set of carpets, new inertia reel seatbelts and a new double duck hood were certainly fitted. A few photos show the restoration in progress and confirm that it was a chassis-up job. An invoice shows that the engine was rebuilt by Worcester Classic Cars in December 2020 with new pistons and liners and a rebuilt cylinder head and it has not covered many miles since. A new radiator, new rear springs and a Revotec cooling fan have also been fitted in recent years. We are informed this attractive TR4A drove well on a recent 40 mile test with the driver reporting that it went well with the overdrive working as it should.

1974 Citroën DS 23 Safari Seven Seat Transmission: manualMileage:55510After 18 years of secret development, the DS 19 was introduced on 5th October 1955 at the Paris Motor Show. In the first 15 minutes of the show, 743 orders were taken and orders for the first day totalled 12,000 cars. To a France still deep in reconstruction after the devastation of World War II, the DS was a symbol of French ingenuity. It was the first mass-production car with front power disc brakes. It also featured hydro pneumatic suspension including an automatic self-levelling system, variable ground clearance, power-steering, a semi-automatic transmission and a fibreglass roof which reduced weight. It also sported inboard front brakes as well as independent suspension. Despite the rather leisurely acceleration afforded by its four-cylinder engine, the DS was successful in motorsports like rallying, where sustained speeds on poor surfaces are paramount. It won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1959 and, controversially in 1966, after the disqualification of the BMC Mini Cooper team. The Citroën DS placed fifth on Automobile Magazine's '100 Coolest Cars' listing in 2005. It was also named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car magazine after a poll of 20 world-renowned car designers. Originally registered on 19th August 1974, this UK supplied, right hand drive Citroën DS 23 seven seat Safari presents in splendid condition. The 2347cc engine runs well and is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. These larger engine DS models are delightful to drive, offering a good performance and a ride that is difficult to surpass. Finished in brown with light brown velour interior, this Safari offers a significant load space as well as being very stylish. Supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in October 2024, the original handbook pack and a file containing an original sales brochure, some invoices and old MoT test certificates. These Citroëns are an automotive masterpiece, offering beauty, functionality, and practicality in one package.
Lot 105
1931 Austin 7 RL Transmission: manualMileage:Because of Herbert Austin's approach to construction, there is no such thing as a standard Austin 7 as, from 1923, they were built in large numbers and in many different body styles. It is not surprising that they were often also raced at both circuit and trials. From that day to this, they are still widely enjoyed both as standard and in modified form, as this charming example represents. Nicknamed the Baby Austin, the Austin 7 was manufactured between 1922 and 1939. Herbert Austin's concept was to provide a small car that would meet the needs of aspiring families to own an affordable motor car. It was one of the most popular models produced for the British market and also sold well abroad. When production ceased in 1939, 290,000 cars and vans had been produced. This delightful Austin 7 has been in our vendor's tenure for the last eight years. During which time he has only driven 200 miles. This Austin has always been garaged and has obviously been well looked after. This is borne out by the file of receipts present and we are informed that £1,000 was recently spent on general maintenance. It has certainly stood the test of time well and would make a fantastic entry into pre-war motoring. Interested parties should note that this car drives well but has a problem with its dynamo.The dynamo is under warranty and will be repaired following the sale.

2006 Volkswagen GTi Mk. V DSG Transmission: automaticMileage:21500Sharing the Volkswagen Group A5 platform, it debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in October 2003 and went on sale in Europe one month later. The GTi comes with Volkswagen's four-cylinder 2.0 litre Turbo engine (FSI) which gives it 197bhp. Transmissions include a six-speed manual or six-speed DSG. The Mk. V is now regarded as probably the best incarnation of the legendary GTi after the original Mk. I of 1976-1983 and is fast acquiring modern classic status.This superb very low mileage example from Japan is presented in Tornado Red with a GTi tartan grey cloth interior. It comes with climate control, Xenon headlights, central locking, cruise control, UK OEM sound system, mph speedometer, odometer in miles and is ULEZ compliant. It also comes with a mileage guarantee certificate, instruction manuals, book pack and a V5C Log book. The car is spotless underneath, inside and the bodywork is in exceptional original condition, it has recently had an oil service and is ready to drive and enjoy.
Lot 207
1968 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk. II Transmission: manualMileage:31026The motoring correspondent of The Times reported in May 1963 the Mini while a popular second car in many households was no longer strictly the fashion, the Grande Luxe Mini de Ville by Radford had taken over. On test in London, he reported, it attracted more attention than a Ferrari Berlinetta with its special colour scheme and trim, sliding sunroof, radiator grille with two more recessed lights, special sound insulation and electric windows. The car tested by The Times also had white leather upholstery and deep lambswool carpets, tachometer, ammeter, oil gauge, clock, headlamp flasher and water temperature gauge. Further extras were: a laminated wood steering wheel, automatic red caution lights on open doors, a reading light, cigar lighter, twin-speaker radio and an air blower to demist the rear window. After the 1967 Earls Court Motor Show The Times recorded that Captains of Industry ordered them, painted them to match their Rolls-Royces and gave them to their wives. Pop Stars and West End playboys presumably invested in them as a status symbols. The reporter tested 'a typical Mini de Ville', a 1275 Mini-Cooper S with an engine performance pack providing up to about 110 m.p.h. Outwardly the only distinction was the magnesium alloy wheels, sunroof and non-standard paint. Inside absolutely everything seemed like a refugee from a Rolls-Royce. This exceptional 1968 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk. II has all the hallmarks of being a superb example built by Radford, but no records to prove this can be found. Purchased by a private collector in 2016 it was later sold by Historics in 2022 to another private collector where it has remained until now continuing to be fully maintained and well looked after. A previous owner purchased the car around 2012 from a long-term owner who lived in Derby. Between his purchase and the car being sold in 2016 he sent it to marque specialists Paul Preston Classic Mini Restoration for a comprehensive respray and restoration as necessary. Stripping the car down and removing the original paint, it was found that the body was sound and rust free, the coachbuilders work was to the highest standards where the Mk. II body shell had been de-seemed and lead filled including the smoothed front panel. The car was repainted to the highest of standards in the original colour of maroon. Refitted the excellent bespoke cream and piped red, Connolly leather interior, the burr walnut dashboard with a full compliment of Smith gauges and felt roof lining, A and C pillar panels and Mota Lita wood rimmed steering wheel. Other Radford features include a Webasto folding sunroof and grille recessed Lucas spotlights. During the restoration the engine and gearbox were also overhauled. This lovely Cooper S is supplied with a V5 registration document, the heritage certificate confirming that it is a matching numbers car and a file containing sundry invoices.
Lot 165
1957 Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk. II Transmission: manualMileage:90683Registered new on 12th August 1957, this rare Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk. II was coachbuilt by Tickford and was delivered new to a gentleman in London in its original colour combination of black over a beige interior. Having passed through the hands of various other owners the DB2/4 was later acquired on 20th May 1966 by our vendors late father, Doctor KT Jackson. Having used the car extensively in his tenure, we are told the Aston Martin was the car of choice for various road trips throughout the UK. Our vendor has many fond childhood memories of the car and confirms it was last running in 1969 where it was garaged at the vendor's family home, having developed a fault with the Panhard rod arm, eventually leading to a complete strip down for restoration. The restoration work came to a halt in the 1970's when family life took priority and the car was then left in the state you see it in today, stripped back to bare metal, presented on axel stands and with many parts boxed, either complete and ready to go back on the car or waiting refurbishment. Offered to the open market for the first time in 57 years, this rare British sports car is perfect for restoration. We are informed that all the parts taken off the Aston are still present (although not confirmed and no inventory taken) including all the running gear, five wheels, bumpers and many boxed ancillaries. Accompanying the Aston are various period photographs from its former glory, the original buff logbook (registration document), the sales invoice with correspondence from 1966, and various old tax discs. This rare example is one of just 199 Mk. II examples produced and is the last Mk. II ever built! This is a superb opportunity to acquire a complete barn find example that is offered without reserve, one to not be missed! Interested parties should refer to the sales department for logistics concerning the car's collection post auction.
Lot 231
1949 Vauxhall Wyvern L Transmission: manualMileage:We are delighted to offer this 1949 Vauxhall Wyvern L that has undergone the most extraordinary restoration to the highest standards. This Wyvern has been in its current ownership for approximately 22 years and around four years ago, a decision was made to restore the car to the standard that is presented today; a process that took nearly three years to complete. You may ask why would anyone lavish the tens of thousands pounds spent upon this modest British model? The Vauxhall Wyvern and Velox models were Vauxhall's first post-war models with production of the Wyvern running from 1948 until 1951. The Wyvern was powered by a four-cylinder, 1442cc engine, which produced 35 bhp and was mated to a manual three-speed gearbox. When asked, our vendor replied, 'it's just one of those things. I always loved these motor cars when they were new and especially as they incorporated some American influences.' This becomes more evident when you know that the American Ford Falcon, offered in our September 2018 sale, another car restored to an extraordinary standard, was from the same stable. The restoration process included a complete strip of all parts and the remaining shell was sympathetically sandblasted. Any areas requiring repair were removed and either replaced or fabricated. The original steel wings were found to be too far gone to repair, so four handcrafted aluminium wings were produced from the original pattern steel items. The undersides have undergone the same treatment and have been coated with zinc lead oxide and a protective coating. All the chromework has been re-plated and any stainless steel items polished to a high quality. Mechanically, everything is either new or overhauled, the engine was fully rebuilt whilst the gearbox and rear axle were stripped and overhauled as necessary. The shock absorbers were all reconditioned, a complete new wiring harness was fitted and modified so that the discreet indicators, mounted within the front and rear side lights, operate as well as the side, B-pillar, semaphore indicators. The brakes, suspension, tyres, rubbers, you name it, has all been attended to. The coachwork has been finished to the Wyvern's original grey with the icing on the cake being the most beautiful full leather interior, with new headlining, that is complemented by the somewhat lovely, art deco, dashboard and instruments. This most amazing motor car is accompanied by a history file that includes a photographic record of the restoration, a Vauxhall Velox and Wyvern Shop Manual and a UK V5C registration document.
Lot 213
1964 Buick Wildcat Transmission: automaticMileage:46000As automobile designers in the USA moved away from the excesses of the 1950s, the 1960s saw a new maturity in design that produced some of the best-looking cars in the history of the industry. Gone were the excessively chromed, bloated and finned bodies; in their place appeared sleek and low-slung machines that emphasised power, speed, comfort and luxury.One of the most successful brands that epitomised this new design language was General Motors' (GM) Buick division, positioned as GM's luxury brand just below Cadillac.In 1963, the Wildcat was launched as Buick's high-performance luxury model. Available in 1964 as a two-door convertible or coupé, and four-door pillared and pillarless sedan, this well-preserved example is a Model 4639 four-door hardtop, one of 17,519 made that year.Supplied new by Broadway Motors in Newbury, New York, this well-optioned Buick was subsequently delivered to its first owner, Mr. Mocko, in July 1964 as a birthday present for his wife. Kept in the family until 2000 with approximately 37,000 miles on the odometer (which is documented in the magazine article that is present in the history file), it was then sold to a Mr. Curley. The Buick was then acquired by Mr. Pierce who accrued another 4,000 miles over his circa ten-year tenure before a Mr. Ulrich of York, PA purchased the vehicle. When Mr. Ulrich could no longer keep the car, it was sold and shipped to the UK in August 2020 and in February 2021, our vendor acquired the Buick with a mere 45,372 miles on the odometer.This Buick Wildcat's specification includes the well-known 325hp 401CI 'nailhead' engine, optional Super Turbine 400 auto transmission, power steering, power brakes, Sonomatic radio, dual speed wipers, tinted windshield, as well as a retro fitted air conditioning system.Recommissioned in March 2021 by UCCS, work included an annual service, grease points, front wheel bearings cleaned and re-greased, brake fluid flushed and replaced, full automatic transmission service, fuel system drained and flushed, coolant system flushed and refilled, new spark plugs, full brake service with new rear brake shoes, four new tyres, four new shock absorbers, a new custom made silencer, wheel alignment and steering adjustment.The bonnet, roof and boot paintwork appear to be original and the interior is in exceptionally original condition. The history file that accompanies the car includes the sales invoice, build sheet, Mr. Mocko's original customer service booklet and handbook and an original 1964 Buick service manual. There are numerous service invoices covering all the years the car was in the USA and a newspaper article describing its history dated November 2000.While it is not uncommon for collectable cars to appear at auction, it is not often that a full-size mainstream saloon that epitomises a particular automotive era is offered for sale, and in such remarkable, original condition. This Wildcat appears in very good running order, is ready to be enjoyed immediately and will provide huge amounts of enjoyment for its new owner.
Lot 249
1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda Transmission: automaticMileage:95310The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production until February 1971. An all-new design by Paul Bracq to replace the 190 SL and 300 SL Roaster. The 280 SL had a powerful 2.8 litre version of Mercedes inline-six and used Bosch fuel injection. To save on weight the bonnet, boot lid and tonneau cover were all composed of aluminium. The nickname 'Pagoda' was quickly adopted thanks to the slightly concave roof on the optional removable hardtop that resembled a pagoda roof. The comparatively short and wide chassis, combined with an excellent suspension, powerful disc brakes and radial tyres gave the W113 superb handling for its time. These roadsters also have one of the most beautiful bodies produced in the 1960s. Thanks to their robust inline-six and their luxurious Mercedes interior, they are wonderful cars to be driven and enjoyed. The styling of the front paid homage to the legendary 300 SL with its characteristic upright Bosch 'fishbowl' headlights and simple chrome grille, dominated by the large three-pointed star in the nose panel.This left hand drive example of this iconic German classic was imported from the USA in 2016 and was then repainted in the traditional white which you see today. Its interior, which we believe to be original but cannot confirm, is red MB Tex and is in good condition. Its 2.8 engine is mated to a manual gearbox and we are informed it runs well. The car comes with its factory hardtop which is also in good condition and this Pagoda is priced very reasonably compared to many similar classic Mercedes-Benz. This classic Mercedes currently sports decals that evoke the companies rally heritage. Given the recent prices achieved by Pagodas in general this larger engine example is estimated extremely reasonably.
Lot 116
1995 BMW M3 Coupé (E36) Transmission: automaticMileage:67000Hagerty describes this specific model as 'The BMW that cemented the winning formula for the M3' with the E36 replacing the E30 in 1995. The US Spec M3 doesn't have the full fat M3 engine and Hagerty says 'I'm here to say that's a good thing'. If you look back through history, no repairs bills, the US spec M3 'is the one to have'. A civilised high performance road car that dramatically outperforms any other 3 series. Oh! And the cylinder head comes from none other than a McLaren F1 racing car. Performance is only down by one to two tenths of a second on the 'full fat' M3 to 60 mph. The E36 has won numerous accolades spanning 15 years with the best car magazines in the world.

1953 Peugeot Type 55 TCL (125cc) Transmission: manualMileage:10094Peugeot built their first motorcycle in 1898 with a De Dion-Bouton engine mounted on the rear wheel. This model was shown at the 1898 Paris Exhibition but was not put into production. Peugeot did produce a tricycle in 1898 although most of the machine was actually manufactured by De Dion-Bouton.In 1901, spurred on by the success of the French built Werner Brothers and Company Motobicyclette, Peugeot produced their own motorcycle using a Swiss made Zürcher and Lüthi (ZL) engine. The Peugeot 500 M, a 500cc dual overhead camshaft model appeared in 1914, the first of this type. In 1930, Peugeot absorbed Automoto which had been a pioneer in the field of motorcycles and scooters. Peugeot was the leading French motorcycle manufacturer until the 1950s producing many models.This attractive model, painted in Olive Green, sports a single leather seat, luggage rack and toolkit which are all presented in superb condition, having undergone a two year restoration just prior to the present owner purchasing it in 2013. It is powered by a three-speed 125cc engine and it is the TCL model which was top of its range in 1953. It also comes with an original Peugeot motorcycle manual which is rare to find and a letter from The Vintage Motor Cycle Club Ltd confirming year of manufacture, frame number and engine number. Supplied with a V5C and a current MoT test certificate valid until 24th October 2024 to confirm its roadworthiness. A rare machine indeed!

2000 Mercedes-Benz E240 Elegance Transmission: automaticMileage:60000Styled by Steve Mattin under the guidance of Bruno Sacco, the second generation (W210) E-Class ushered in a new design language for Mercedes-Benz. Debuting in June 1995, its distinctive, quad oval headlight visage soon became a marque staple. While careful wind tunnel profiling enabled the saloon version to boast a drag coefficient of just 0.27. Accumulating seventy plus awards for occupant safety, design, environmental compatibility and efficiency over the course of its seven-year production cycle, the W210 could be had with a range of straight-four, straight-five, straight-six, V6 and V8 engines allied to manual or automatic transmission. Customers could thus specify their E-Class as everything from a frugal, diesel-powered airport taxi through to a petrol-guzzling super saloon.This example is presented in Green/Black with Napa light grey leather interior. It comes with all the usual Mercedes-Benz luxuries such as electric seats, air conditioning, electric windows, good stereo and a very good service history showing servicing being carried out in good intervals and all at the same Mercedes-Benz garage in Hemel Hampstead, with many invoices showing the servicing of which the last service carried out was within the last month by the present owner. Its smooth V6 engine is mated to an automatic gearbox and with only just over 60,000 miles covered, this is still a great luxury saloon which exudes quality and provides wonderful comfortable travel.

1987 Mercedes-Benz 230 GE Transmission: automaticMileage:149000The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagon, short for Geländewagen, (cross-country vehicle), is characterised by its boxy styling and body-on-frame construction. It uses three fully locking differentials, one of the few vehicles to have such a feature. The G-Class is still in production and is one of the longest produced Mercedes-Benz in Daimler's history with a span of over 40 years. The G-class was developed as a military vehicle from a suggestion by the Shah of Iran and offered as a civilian version in 1979. The first major refinements were introduced in 1981, including an automatic transmission, air conditioning, an auxiliary fuel tank, protective headlamp grilles and a cable winch. Fuel injection became available in 1982 when the 230 GE was introduced in Turin, along with more comfortable and supportive front seats, auxiliary heating, wider tyres, and fender flares. For 1985, differential locks, central door locking, and a tachometer become standard. This example is presented in Sand coachwork with a tan cloth trim and was originally supplied on 1st March 1987. Supplied with the maintenance booklet, operating instructions and radio manual, this five-speed manual example of the 2.3 litre G-Wagon presents well. The interior is well kept for a 31 year old 'utility' car but perhaps this is indicative of the beginning of the luxury SUV market, with little use as compared to a traditional utilitarian vehicle. This G-Wagon is now reluctantly offered for sale due to the arrival of a new car. Supplied with the V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate valid until 3rd October 2024 and a history file including past MoT test certificates. To find such an original example of this 4x4 legend is an opportunity not to be missed. Guide Price £10,000-£15,000Interested parties should note that this example requires a new ignition barrel which has been ordered and will be provided to the new owner, this does not affect the starting and running of the car but we have noticed it requires replacing.

1973 Opel Manta A Transmission: manualMileage:54422The Manta A was released in September 1970, a competitor to the Ford Capri, featuring two-door coupé styling and distinctive round taillights. It took its name, and a few minor styling cues, from the Manta Ray concept car of 1961 which also famously influenced the 1968 Chevrolet Corvette C3. In the UK, the first Manta was sold only as an Opel and was normally equipped with a 1.6 or a 1.9-litre CIH engine. In the United States, only the larger, 1.9-litre, engine option was offered. The Manta came with either a four-speed manual or a three-speed TH-180 automatic transmission and came to be known as one of the best-handling cars in its class, going on to win many rallying events in both Europe and America.Registered new on 1st November 1973 this wonderful example was restored in Northern Ireland in 2018 and was imported back to England following the restoration. Presented in its original right hand drive guise the Manta was acquired by the vendor in July 2018 and has resided in his private collection ever since. During his tenure the Opel has been dry stored and maintained where necessary. The paintwork, engine bay and interior are all in very good order showing little sign of age and it is reported to run and drive as it should. Currently showing 54,422 miles on the odometer this Manta A comes complete with a history file including various sundry bills, old MoT records and the current UK registration document. Very few examples are presented in this condition and as such we expect this Opel to be keenly contested at auction.

1989 Mercedes-Benz 420 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:110000These fabulous and popular models were launched at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1985, the 420 SL convertible retained its predecessor's long-running Type 107 bodyshell virtually unchanged. The V8 engined newcomer supplanted the outgoing 380 SL model and was produced alongside the outwardly similar 300 SL 'six'. Its power unit was an enlarged and improved version of the existing 3.8 litre overhead cam Type M116 V8. The running gear followed Mercedes-Benz's established pattern, comprising of independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, while a new five-speed manual gearbox was offered alongside the existing four-speed automatic transmission. A mere 2,148 examples of this luxuriously equipped limited edition model were made between 1985 and 1989. Originally registered on 7th January 1989, this beautiful Mercedes-Benz is presented with a restored bodywork combination finished in metallic grey with a contrasting cream leather interior and new black hood. Clearly a very well cared for example, the cream coachwork presents beautifully as does the chromework. The history file shows an extensive servicing history, many with Mercedes-Benz dealers and specialists prior to our vendor purchasing the car in 2019. After an extensive search for a V8 in this colourway our vendor purchased the car and continued the maintenance by replacing the bulkhead with items from the SL Shop, having the car fully repainted and recently having the gearbox serviced alongside its usual scheduled service, this is coupled to an MoT test certificate valid until June 2024 with no advisories, all handbooks and this six owner example also boasts the factory hardtop. With straight panels and good panel gaps. Supplied with a V5C registration document, this is a stunning colour combination example of the desirable V8 powered 420 with hard and soft tops for all year-round classic motoring.Interested parties should note that the private registration plate shown is to be retained by the vendor and a new, age-related registration issued instead which is understood to be F311 FKR Interested parties should note that upon delivery our vendor noticed a slight knock when changing from first to second gear but has had no time to investigate further.

1974 Datsun 260Z Transmission: manualMileage:24246The Nissan S30 (sold in Japan as the Nissan Fairlady Z and in other markets as the Datsun 240Z, then later as the 260Z and 280Z) was the first generation of Z GT two-seat coupé, produced by Nissan Motors Ltd of Japan from 1969 to 1978. It was designed by a team led by Mr. Yoshihiko Matsuo, the head of Nissan's Sports Car Styling Studio. HLS30 was the designation of the left hand drive model and HS30 for the right hand drive model. This model was sold in the United States for the 1974 model year only but was available in other countries until 1978. A three-speed automatic transmission was an option and the four-speed manual standard. 1974 brought, for the first time, to the S30 line a new 2+2 seating option, which offered room for four passengers and an extra 11.9" of wheelbase. These cars have a notably different roofline from the two-seat coupés, incorporating larger opening quarter panel windows. The 260Z claimed a few updates and improvements over the 240Z. The climate controls were more sensibly laid out and easier to work, and those cars with air conditioning now had the system integrated into the main climate control panel. There was also additional stiffness in the chassis due to a redesign of the chassis rails which were larger and extended further back than previous models. The 260Z debuted a redesigned dashboard and console and door panels for the interior, together with updated tail-lights.Originally registered in 1974, this 260Z is an original left hand drive example delivered new to California, USA. Imported to the UK in 2019, this Datsun was extensively recommissioned by Motor Parts Sussex and as such it is reported by the vendor to run and drive very well. In very good order throughout, the paintwork retains a deep shine and the chromework is bright, as to is the interior and engine bay which are both very well presented. Showing 24,246 miles on the odometer, the Datsun comes complete with a history file which includes various sundry bills and its current V5C registration document. These super stylish sports cars of the 70's are scarce and to find one in such good order is an opportunity not to be missed.

1961 Daimler SP250 'Ex-Metropolitan Police' Transmission: automaticMileage:93283In the late 1950s, the Metropolitan police had a major problem with café racer motorcyclists. Groups of youths on motorbikes would gather together at a local café, put a record on the jukebox and then race their bikes along a set course getting back to the café before the record had stopped playing. Accidents occurred and in an attempt to put a stop to the practice, the Met's proposal was to have a fast car that could actually catch the bikers. The existing fleet of Wolseley saloons was not up to the task so they looked instead at sports cars. The Daimler SP250 (Dart) was the answer! This had a 2.5 litre lightweight V8 engine and was capable of 125mph and 0-60 in 10 seconds, which for 1959 was remarkable. The Met bought 26 Darts between 1961 and 1964 and soon got them into service to be used as high-speed pursuit cars based at separate Traffic Garages situated over the London area. The results were impressive with many speeding bikers being caught and the number of fatal road accidents dropped. Unlike today, the idea then was that you see a police car and thereby slow down...no stealth tactics for these boys.Borg-Warner Model 8 three-speed automatic cars destined for police use, like the one offered here, were modified by Daimler with the fitting of a handle in the centre of the dashboard which, when pulled, locks the gearbox into second gear allowing a speed range from 0-85mph in a single gear. The gearbox normally runs in two gears only, with a 'low' ratio for manual selection if required and the slightly higher gearing resulted in an increased top speed compared to manual gearbox cars. The Metropolitan police found this to be better for town work and high-speed chases, and it was also found to be more economical, avoiding the clutch wear that a manual car would develop with usage between 18 and 24 hours a day.Traffic police in Bristol, Cambridge, Liverpool, Manchester, Southend and Surrey also used the SP250 for speed enforcement, as did police forces in Australia and New Zealand. After the opening of the first section of the M1 in 1959, the Bedfordshire police used the SP250 for motorway patrol prior to the arrival of the 70mph limit in 1965.This example was registered with the Metropolitan police and was fitted with the optional Borg-Warner DG automatic gearbox, Bell and Pye radio equipment, and has more recently been fitted with wire wheels and upgraded servo brakes. Supplied with the car is its original buff logbook confirming the first owner to be the Metropolitan police, records of previous ownership, press cuttings, old MoT records, sundry bills, and a current MoT valid until January 2024. Previously this Daimler has been reviewed in several articles including Police Car UK and Classic and Sports Car magazine. This Daimler is a must for any collector and offered without reserve this is a rare opportunity not to be missed.Guide price £40,000 - £60,000.

1991 Vauxhall Lotus Carlton Transmission: manualMileage:17823The Lotus Carlton was a Vauxhall Carlton upgraded by Lotus Cars to be a 177mph sports saloon with acceleration to equal contemporary supercars. When released, it was the fastest four-door saloon car in the world. The external differences were minimal with the addition of a rear spoiler, air intakes on the bonnet, Lotus badges on the front wings and bootlid, a bodykit and considerably wider wheel arches. The car was only sold in one colour, a shade of British Racing Green called Imperial Green, a very dark green that in anything but direct light appears black. Lotus re-worked the 2969cc, 24V straight six used in the Carlton GSi and bored it out to 3615cc. In addition, twin Garrett T25 turbochargers were attached resulting in 377bhp and torque at 419lb/ft. Power was transmitted through a six-speed ZF manual gearbox and power was driven to the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential. The brakes were supplied by AP with 330mm ventilated discs all round and racing calipers. This absolutely stunning low mileage example of this brutish British saloon is probable the one of the finest examples of this model being offered to the marketplace presently. Offered in its original Imperial Green Pearlescent paintwork (as all the models were when produced) and with a black anthracite connolly leather interior (standard also), both of which are exemplary in their condition. It comes with a very good history including, Lotus book, Certificate of Provenance, old MoT test certificates and a present MoT test certificate which expires in October 2024. The car's current private registration is being retained by the current owner and an age-related plate will be issued by the DVLA. This is the best example of this model we have ever seen and it is undoubtably one for the collector/investor. Simply unbeatable in every way!Interested parties should note that the private registration plate shown is to be retained by the vendor and a new, age-related registration issued instead. The correct registration is shown in the catalogue, and we are awaiting receipt of the new V5 registration document from DVLA which may not be present at the time of the auction.
