Lot 156

2010 Bentley GT Speed Transmission: automaticMileage:21065The Bentley Continental GT was the first model introduced by Bentley Motors following its acquisition by the Volkswagen Group in 1998. A Torsen-type permanent four-wheel-drive six-speed transmission was standard equipment, and the Continental GT could accelerate from 0-62mph in 4.8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 197.6mph. A mechanically identical Continental GTC Convertible was made available for 2006, followed by another version of the Coupé: the range-topping GT Speed. As its name suggests, the GT Speed offered greater power and increased performance; the 6.0-litre W12 engine produced 600bhp and heaps more torque (553lb/ft), while the running gear was comprehensively upgraded with a strengthened gearbox; firmer suspension; revised steering; optional carbon ceramic brakes; and the Mulliner specification interior. This lovely example is presented in metallic blue with its lavish cross stitched blue leather interior. The first owner ordered many options that were available from the factory and so is probably one of the best on the market today. It is a low ownership example with only having covered a mere 21,064 miles from new with the last service carried out at 21,000 miles. Most of its servicing has been carried out by Bentley Cheshire, Glasgow and Jack Barclay. It comes with a spare key, Bentley manual and its cherished private registration number. This Bentley has been beautifully looked after with little to no marks to its paintwork or interior. A truly wonderful motor car which exudes opulence, elegantly, with performance to match - what a great combination for a fraction of the price of a new one. Treat yourself this Summer!

1963 Triumph TR4 (Surrey Top) Transmission: manualMileage:Produced between 1961 and 1967, the TR4 combined a new, modern and aggressive body design by famed Italian stylist, Giovanni Michelotti with the basic chassis of the previous TR3A. The TR4 also improved passenger comfort with wind-up windows, face-level ventilation and an optional hardtop. The 2138cc engine of the late-production TR3A continued while the 1991cc engine was also made available to buyers who wanted to participate in two litre racing. When equipped with the optional overdrive, the TR4 was good for a top speed of almost 110mph. Today, the four-cylinder TR's are among the easiest of post-war classic sports cars to own and maintain being supported by a multitude of component suppliers and other specialists.This lovely UK supplied, right hand drive, 1963 Triumph TR4 with overdrive and Surrey top was the subject to a 'body off' ground up restoration a number of years ago. During the restoration they managed to retain certain original features including the white dashboard and the passenger grab handle. The current owner has informed us that it drives very well, with good oil pressure and a working overdrive unit. Looking resplendent in Masons Black with black leather seats from a Mazda MX5 and chrome wire wheels, this Triumph TR4 is supplied with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate which expires in May 2023. This realistically priced, quintessentially British sports car should generate significant interest both within the TR Register and wider classic car enthusiasts' community.

1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SL California Coupé Transmission: automaticMileage:74809The stylish Mercedes-Benz W113 was presented at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show and replaced both the expensive 300 SL and entry-level 190 SL with one medium-priced two-seat sports car. The SL was a huge success, with 48,912 sold in nine years, and is now considered a true masterpiece. The body combines the elegantly trim look of contemporary Mercedes saloons with a simple grille derived from the 300 SL. Bela Barenyi conceived the patented concave hardtop, soon called the 'Pagoda.' Like the best designs, the W113 has proven to be timeless in its appeal. We are pleased to offer an exceptionally fine example of one of the rarer designations for these cars, the 'California Coupé', with the single bench seat as designated by option '417' on its factory record. Offered with an original owner's manual, service book, V5 registration document and various bills and receipts this Pagoda style Mercedes has undergone a photographic restoration and presents extremely well in blue with a black interior. This right hand drive automatic example is a timeless blue chip ultra-rare classic and given recent sales appears to be reasonably estimated.

1967 Triumph TR4A IRS Transmission: manualMileage:2313Produced between 1961 and 1967, the Triumph TR4 combined a new, modern, and aggressive body design by famed Italian stylist, Giovanni Michelotti, with the basic chassis of the previous TR3A. The TR4 also improved passenger comfort with wind-up windows, face-level ventilation, and an optional hardtop. When equipped with the optional overdrive, the TR4 was good for a top speed of almost 110mph. Following on from the TR4, the new TR4A was phased in smoothly at the beginning of 1965 and introduced an all new independent rear suspension system (IRS), which provided exceptional rear wheel camber control with excellent wheel travel while softer springs improved the ride quality. The press was happy to see an all independent car, and Triumph was pleased to be the first British car manufacturer to have all independent suspensions under every car in their line-up. At the Sebring 12 Hours in 1966, ample proof of the validity of the IRS was provided when three IRS equipped TR4As achieved a remarkable 1-2-3 class victory.Unrivalled by any TR4A the consigner has ever seen before, the example offered here is certainly impressive and one that is not to be missed. The supplied BMI Heritage certificate tells us that this car is a home market example, despatched in May 1967, but not registered until September 1967 in Tonbridge Wells. Unusually, as a very late model TR4A, the car has the 'squared off' seats that were to be fitted to the TR5's. It is also fitted with the correct 'gold' shocks, an overdrive gearbox, original Stampart seatbelts, original steering wheel, original centre binnacle, Lucas PL headlights, original switches, a rear seat, correct 60 spoke wheels shod by Period Michelin tyres and boasts a mohair hood and hood cover. The car was subject to a high-level restoration around 2007 that had concours in mind. As such, extra attention to the quality of the restoration was made. A nut and bolt, ground up restoration was undertaken and the resulting panel gaps are unlike any the consigner has seen on a TR before. The underneath of the car is as clean as above with the engine bay just as beautifully presented. Indeed, the vendor reports the car to run and drive as flawlessly as it looks, with the overdrive gearbox also shifting perfectly.Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, BMI Heritage Certificate, owner's handbook, original chassis plate, photographic record of its restoration, file of receipts and a MoT test certificate valid until July 2023. To restore a car to this level today would be incredibly expensive and as a result, presents a unique opportunity.

1971 Ford Escort Mk. I Twin Cam Transmission: manualMileage:107218Having witnessed one of the Escort prototypes being tested during early 1967, Henry Taylor, Ford's competition department manager, thought the new model would be an ideal platform for the Lotus Twin Cam engine. The shell was strengthened and there were also some modifications under the bonnet and the front bumpers were split into two halves so the oil-cooler could be allowed to breathe more efficiently. The suspension was completely redesigned and brakes were bigger. In January 1969, Ford switched the original rectangular headlights to more effective circular units. Such luminaries such as Roger Clark and Hannu Mikkola drove these cars to victory and their name became a byword in Rally stages across the world. Production of the Escort Twin Cam was discontinued in June 1971 with just 883 ever built with only 380 with circular headlights and just a handful surviving.This rare example, in classic Ermine White, is presented in standard road trim. It was first delivered to KT Dartford Ford of Kent and purchased subsequently purchased by the current owner in 1979. He sold it three years later but couldn't bear to be parted and re-acquired the car in 2009 and has owned it for the last 13 years. Included in the history file is photographic evidence of a complete strip down and repaint some years ago with the paint work remaining in good order today. All elements appear sound underneath the bonnet including the vital but subtle 'Twin Cam' moniker to the rear boot lid. The interior shows the correct specification instrumentation with a six-gauge oval binnacle and natural alloy fascia. Optional black padded 'contour' seats have been installed combined with a deep-dish, three-spoke steering wheel. This example, reportedly, is incredibly reliable and benefits from recent Gaz strut inserts in the front suspension, a new battery, a full one-year MoT, the original owner's handbook and supplementary workshop manual. Interested parties should note that following discussions with the Twin Cam Registrar, Mark Heath, of the AVO Owner’s Club and following a face-to-face ‘Zoom’ call, his opinion is that this represents a correct ‘Twin Cam’ Escort although some elements would need adjustment before it became 100% accurate.

1950 Jaguar Mk. V Saloon (2½ litre) Transmission: manualMileage:54333Supplied new by main agents Boorers of Worthing on 21st April 1950 and sold to Mr E. C. Pearson Esq of Cromwell Road, Hove, East Sussex. Finished in black coachwork with tan leather hides, this right hand drive 'home market' example was one of only 1481 Mk. V 2 ½ Litre saloons built in right hand drive from the total Jaguar MK. V production of 10,499 cars built. Sold to Mr F. E. Cragg on June 1st 1961, where it would remain within his family ownership for a remarkable further sixty years after.Offered with two original service booklets issued by Boorers that detail the early service records from 1950-62, showing regular maintenance throughout that period and note the engine was reconditioned in November 1962. Notes on file from Mr Cragg state the mileage was 45,119 miles when he acquired the car in 1961 and it was used regularly until 1966, when it was taken off the road and dry stored with mileage reading 52,786 miles. The Jaguar would remain stored in his garage for the next 33 years until 1999 when it was recommissioned. After little effort it was started up again, the brakes overhauled, new tyres fitted, new exhaust and service etc. as Mr. Cragg states 'I simply could not part with it.' Between 1999 and 2007 he continued to enjoy the Jaguar with his family on, showing the car at local car shows and it was a regular sight at Basingstoke Classic Car Club events. The car remained within his family until December 2021 when it was sold and today has just 54,333 miles showing on the odometer. This rare and desirable Jaguar presents in remarkably original and sound condition, with original paintwork and original trim. Seldom do cars of this vintage survive in such well-preserved condition and display such wonderful patination throughout, indeed the car is a testament to the care of its long term owner; and a great candidate and potential winner for the preservation class at concours events. The vendor states it has benefitted from recent attention to the brakes including a rebuild of the master cylinder, and performed well on a recent test drive; the engine running well and displaying good oil pressure, and the brakes operating as they should. Interested parties are advised that further recommissioning works are recommended before regular use.Supplied with the aforementioned Boorers service booklets, complete and original tool kit, original owners handbook, original service manual, original parts manual and UK V5C registration document. Offered at an incredibly attractive estimate, this Jaguar offers a huge amount of style and history for a very modest outlay.

Lot 176

1980 Triumph TR8 Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:78419The TR8 that appeared on the North American market used the all-alloy 3.5 litre V8 engine that had been powering Rovers since 1966. Most of the initial build cars came with dual Zenith Stromberg carburettors - only those sold into emission-conscious California used fuel injection from the outset. Early TR8s were only available in Coupé form - the much-admired convertible not reaching the market until October of their introductory year. British Leyland had eventually decided to introduce the TR8 to the UK and European markets in November 1981 and had constructed a mere 18 right hand drive cars at the Lode Lane Solihull Factory some weeks before. Shortly after these examples were built British Leyland executives decided to cancel the whole TR range and plans to build the TR8 in any volume were scrapped.This 1980 Triumph was built as a TR7 convertible, to Californian specification, and was due to be sent there on completion. In 1979 British Leyland's last-ditch attempt to keep the TR7 viable they took twenty-five cars, twenty fully built, and five partially built cars off the production line and gave them to their development department. This was to drive costs down and develop the 'O' series engine, possibly with 16 valves and certainly to build a turbo version. When the development of these cars concluded in June 1981 all the running gear was removed, the cars were listed as scrapped and went back to the production line. KHP 542V, being one of these cars, was rebuilt as a right hand drive TR8, fitted with the 3.5 litre V8 engine with a manual gearbox and sold in the UK. Purchased by the current owner in 2011 he kept the car in storage before sending it to British classic car restorers M. V. Classics Ltd., of Southampton, Hampshire in 2014. Over the next two and half years they were responsible for the complete restoration at a cost in excess of £45,000, this included changing the colour from white to this lovely shade of blue. The interior remains black leather with black soft top roof. In 2018 the owner took and registered the car at his home in Guernsey where it has remained, with very little use, until being re-imported to the UK and registered with its original factory registration number. Further work was carried out while in the Channel Islands this included a new alternator and replacing the twin SU's, with manifold, for a new 'four pot' Holly downdraft carburettor which the owner tells us the power increase is staggering, and the handling is like driving a slot car around the track. Supplied with a V5 registration document and a file containing old MoT test certificates, a Heritage certificate, photographs and invoices from the restoration. A very rare English sportscar, an investment for the future.

1978 Porsche 911 SC Transmission: manualMileage:187300The 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. The car had four seats although, as the rear seats were quite small, the car is usually referred to as a 2+2 rather than a four-seater. Styling was largely by Ferdinand 'Butzi' Porsche, son of Ferdinand 'Ferry' Porsche, although Erwin Komenda, who was the leader of the Porsche car body construction department, was also involved in the design.Manufactured on 1st July 1978 as confirmed by the Certificate of Authenticity, this Porsche 911 has had an interesting life. The Petrol Blue coachwork is in relatively good order although it does show some age-related marks. The black seats have grey houndstooth inserts and would appear to have been restored at some stage. A comprehensive history folder accompanies this Porsche with two very well stamped service books. The engine was rebuilt in March 2002 at 157,011 miles and we are advised she runs well and offers a brisk performance; these larger engines can be great fun to drive. Supplied with a V5C registration document, this 911 Coupé is an iconic vehicle of the period. The soul of this car is very much alive and looking forward to the open road.

Lot 179

1966 Jaguar E-Type Series I Fixedhead Coupé (4.2 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:6826Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore. Its combination of supercar performance, superb styling and a low price tag left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. Built as a monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension (torsion-bar front/coil-sprung rear) rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent road holding and handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head, its indomitable 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft of torque. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox, it reputedly enabled the low-slung two-seater to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph. While any E-Type roadster is desirable, the lithesome free-revving 3.8 litre cars enjoy a particularly exalted status; however, the later Series I, 4.2 litre was a better engine.The supplied BMI Heritage certificate shows DWL 110D to have been completed on 12th January 1966 and dispatched to its distributor, Henlys Ltd of London on 24th January 1966. A home market, manual car that comes with a lovely history file chronicling its ownership and work carried out through most of its life. Amongst the correspondence is communications from Lynx Cars Ltd, the well respected Jaguar specialists, who were commissioned to restore the car to 'A1' standard in 1990. As part of their restoration, they included a photographic record of the car's restoration. Rather charmingly there are also many other correspondence between some earlier specialists communicating the progress of various works carried out on the car. The vendor, who has owned the car for the past ten years, has always garaged and maintained the car, having any work it has needed carried out immediately. The car has just had a major service, which included having the carburettors stripped and rebuilt, with the vendor reporting the car to run and drive very well. Indeed, when inspecting the car, the consigner was taken for a drive in it and was impressed by how well it ran. The interior presents very well and matches the mechanical condition of the car. There is some evidence of micro blistering in the car's paint, as well as the odd mark that is to be expected from an older restoration, but the car appears to be very solid, both structurally and mechanically.Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, BMI Heritage Certificate, MoT test certificates dating back to the early 1980's, (as well its current MoT being valid through until May 2023), toolkit and file of receipts and history of the car's life. The 4.2 coupé is a rare car these days, especially as a home market car in manual and is generally considered the best driving of all the E-Types.

Lot 182

1972 Aston Martin Vantage Transmission: manualMileage:67857All 70 of these fantastic cars were 'Vantage-engined' to the highest state of tune for this engine - 'SVC'. They represent a special place in Aston Martin history as they were the last six-cylinder cars with a heritage stemming from the greatest era of the firm's racing history and the last to be fitted with wire wheels. They also marked a return to the traditionally-shaped front that was first introduced in the DB3S in the early fifties, continued throughout the 'DB' series of 4, 5, and 6, and was later adopted for all Aston Martins from the current decade - the DB9, the Vanquish, the V8 Vantage, and the current DBS. The model benefitted from all the many improvements developed and implemented throughout the five years of DBS production, including many mechanical and cosmetic changes. Of most significance and like the last fifty examples of the DBS, the car used the same later 'dog leg' ZF five speed gearbox as used in the DBSV8. It is notable that though the V8-engined model with the same body style was introduced in 1970, demand for the six-cylinder AM Vantage continued through 1973 until the factory no longer offered the alternative. Though the V8-engined cars are very fine in their own right, this affection and appreciation for the six-cylinder cars has had a direct bearing on demand, and they now command a premium in the market up to fifty per cent higher than their V8 counterpart.After Sir David Brown's departure in 1972, DBS production continued under new owners, Company Developments. The car was restyled with a two-headlamp front end but mechanically remained much as before, while for a brief period the six-cylinder engine continued to be offered alongside the new V8. The six-cylinder DBS was renamed 'Vantage', a term used to denote the high-performance engine option.  All but two Vantages ('6067' and '6068') had the 'SVC' Vantage high-performance engine. Only 70 of these six-cylinder Vantages were produced between May 1972 and July 1973, making the model one of the rarer of post-war Aston Martins.Presented in the original colour of Ascot Grey and upholstered in the original dark blue that came with the car in 1972, this Vantage was originally registered on the 23rd November and sold to Dovey Motors Company Ltd in Cardiff. This car has been owned by the Forshaw Family since the 1980s having purchased it from the first owner. It had a bare metal respray in 1999 and has covered less than 300 miles in the past 10 years, forming part of the family's treasured collection. In 2012 a new high torque starter motor was fitted, alongside a head gasket and HT leads, then the front suspension was refurbished in 2013 with two new front hubs fitted also at the same time. A full history file, whilst in the Forshaw ownership, can be viewed, including original Aston Martin buff warranty booklet and a copy of the original build sheet. It is mechanically sound and described as running very nicely with no known issues.  The interior is original and in good condition and the paintwork is also in good condition.  Boasting a working 8 Track play with some available with the car and it comes with a new MoT test certificate valid until June 2023.  This is a truly wonderful, original piece of Aston Martin history, in the same ownership for over 40 years.

Lot 187

1970 Austin 1100 Transmission: manualMileage:36774In 1962, a quite revolutionary new saloon was launched by BMC at the same time as the brand new MGB. Initially wearing the Morris badge, ADO16 was hot from the drawing boards of Alec Issigonis and Pininfarina. Offered in many guises by Innocenti, Morris, Riley, Wolseley, Vanden Plas and Austin, the ADO16 was truly universal in its appeal. In line with BMC's policy at the time, Austin badged versions of the ADO16 were built at Longbridge, whilst Morris and MG versions were assembled at Cowley. The original Mk. I models were distinctive for their use of a Hydrolastic suspension. Marketing material highlighted the spacious cabin when compared to competitors such as the Ford Anglia, Vauxhall Viva HA and BMC's own still popular Morris Minor. Unlike almost all of its competitors, the ADO16 featured front-wheel drive instead of the rear-wheel drive. The Mk. I Austin/Morris 1100 was available, initially, only as a four-door saloon. This Austin 1100 is possibly the finest example we have offered. Originally registered in March 1970 and showing only three owners prior to its enthusiast vendor,  we are told that this lovely example runs as well as it looks. Upon inspection it fired up on the first time of asking which is not surprising given that the engine bay is as immaculate as the rest of the car. Presented to auction with a V5C registration document,  this MoT exempt Austin must be seen to be truly appreciated. Offered without reserve.

Lot 190

1990 Alpine GTA V6 Turbo Le Mans Transmission: manualMileage:33343The Renault Alpine GTA was produced by the Renault owned French manufacturer Alpine between 1986 and 1991. It was the first car launched by Alpine under Renault ownership (though Alpine had been affiliated with Renault for many years with its earlier models using many Renault parts). It effectively updated the design of its predecessor, the Alpine A310, updating that car's silhouette with modern design features like body-integrated bumpers and a triangular 'C' pillar and with large rear windshield. It used the PRV V6 engine in a rear-engined layout with extensive use of polyester plastics and fibreglass for the body panels making it considerably lighter and quicker than rivals such as the Porsche 944. It was one of the most aerodynamic cars of its time, the normally-aspirated version achieving a world record 0.28 drag co-efficient. The PRV engine, (The PRV engine is a car petrol V6 engine that was developed jointly by Peugeot, Renault and Volvo Cars), in the normally aspirated model was identical to the version used in the Renault 25, a 2,849cc unit producing 160hp. Also available was the turbocharged model which increased the power of the PRV unit to 200hp.A rare sight on British roads, this is one of only 26 UK-market Alpine GTA V6 Le Mans produced, all of the Le Mans made for the UK were burgundy metallic as indeed this one is, with grey velour interior. The rare sports car has been in the same family ownership from new and needs complete recommissioning. It still retains its original built-in mobile phone (not currently working), original spare wheel, original built-in sound system, electric windows and its manual gearbox is mated to the infamous V6 Turbo. As a one owner car from new, this example is really in 'time warp' condition and once recommissioned, we are certain it will still be able to bring a smile to your face when driving it in the way it was supposed to when first built. A rarity which one would not often find! *Please be aware that this car is not suitable to be driven away from the Auction and should be re commissioned prior to driving.

Lot 195

2001 Porsche 911 / 996 Turbo Transmission: automaticMileage:49653The 996 model is a superb car; quick, reliable, well made and the birth of the water-cooled Porsche 911. With a wide range of models on offer the most iconic is, of course, the Turbo. Featuring four-wheel drive and a 3.6 litre intercooled engine, derived from the 1998 Le Mans winning GT-1 car, pushing out 420bhp and hitting 60mph in a whisker over four seconds, this is genuine supercar territory. The 996 was seen as a more relaxed and usable 911; however, in Turbo guise, the driver would get the best of both worlds; a luxury leather interior with every creature comfort combined with the ability to drop the hammer and reach a top speed of a claimed 190mph. The 996 Turbo was available with either a six-speed manual or a five-speed Tiptronic transmission with revised styling and a wider stance than the naturally aspirated 996 Carreras along with new bi-xenon headlamps. The Turbo also came with Vario Cam Plus as well as stability management - a necessity with over 400bhp under your right foot. Performance can be described as ballistic when behind the wheel of a turbo-charged Porsche. However, due to the modern 911 being such a capable daily driver, mileage on early cars can swiftly reach into six figures, resulting in lower mileage models becoming quite the find for any collector or enthusiast. With just a little over 49,653 miles, our example is presented in metallic Lapis Blue with grey leather trim and has clearly had a pampered life. The car was first registered on 3rd August 2001 and was particularly well specified including rear leather centre console, aluminium painted instrument dials, lumbar support on driver and passenger seats and soft ruffled leather seats. This car has been well maintained and regularly serviced. It has been only lightly used by our vendor on a weekly basis and on dry weekends, kept in 'tip top' running order with the last service in March 2022 at 49,196 miles. In addition to this the car was recently ceramic coated at a cost of £1000 just a few months ago. A three owner car with an MoT test certificate until March 2023 found within the comprehensive history file. This is a superb example of an ever appreciating 911 in such fabulous condition that viewing is highly recommended.

Lot 196

1969 Alfa Romeo GT Junior 'Alfaholics Stepnose' (Two litre) Transmission: manualMileage:13763Mention Alfa Romeos from the 1960s and 1970s and what usually springs to mind is the marque's 105 Series Coupé, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Bertone, considered to be one of his greatest designs. Not only as one of the best looking and handling classic saloon cars of the period, but the advanced specification, with its five-speed gearbox, all-round disc brakes, independent suspension, and powerful twin-cam engine, still has the capability to embarrass many of its modern counterparts. A rare right hand drive, this 1300 Alfa Romeo was first registered in 1969 in South Africa and remained in the warm dry climate until the current owner imported the car in 2021. This 2 litre Nord engine has now been upgraded to Alfaholics stage 1 with a verified dyno at 141 BHP, the work was carried out by race specialist Bradbury Engineering to the following specifications:  High compression pistons, Alfaholics carburettor mounds with uprated air intake filters, a rebuilt head to fast road spec, Alfaholics springs and suspension, a rebuilt cylinder head and rebuilt ignition system. Supplied with bills from Alfaholics and the engineering work from Bradbury Engineering totalling over £10,000. This example benefits from a limited slip differential, VAN de Linde four branch exhaust, BMW four pot brake calipers, a rebuilt steering box and 15-inch Alfaholics GTA veloce wheels coupled to an Alfaholics retro stereo. We are informed the body is in excellent condition and the interior, which was retrimmed by the previous owner, is in very good condition. With Alfaholics cars worth an incredible figure, this very rare example looks like incredible value.

Lot 200

1939 Leyland Fire Engine Transmission: manualMileage:You will not miss this 1939 Leyland Cub Fire Engine at our auction! Originally supplied when new to Budleigh Salterton district council, Devon.  We are informed that DOD 37 served during WW2 in Plymouth, Exeter and Bristol. We are also told that this imposing Fire truck was sold for scrap in 1964. It was found 15 years later in a derelict state, in a Doncaster scrapyard. Bernard Land and his son purchased the truck in 1989 and restored it to the impressive original, working condition we see today. Presenting, unsurprisingly and traditionally, in red with acres of chrome work, this engine has many  authentic details including a brass bell and Lucas headlights which are both inscribed 'king of the road'.  Offered to auction with a V5c registration document.Interested parties please note that this vehicle requires a new water pump.

Lot 201

1982 Mini Clubman Estate Transmission: manualMileage:12821The Mini was made by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered a British icon of the 1960s and its space-saving front-wheel drive layout, allowing 80% of the area of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage, influenced a generation of car makers. In 1999, the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century behind the Ford Model T. This distinctive two-door car was designed by Sir Alec Issigonis and was manufactured at the Longbridge and Cowley plants. The Mini Mk. I had three major UK updates; the Mk. II, the Clubman and the Mk. III. Within these were a series of variations including an estate car, a pick-up and a van. The Mini Cooper and Cooper 'S' were sportier versions that were successful as rally cars winning the Monte Carlo Rally four times from 1964 through to 1967. Initially Minis were marketed under the Austin and Morris names as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini Minor, until Mini became a marque in its own right. Originally registered on 24th July 1982 this Clubman estate is showing a mere 12,821 miles on the odometer which is believed to be original. Its first owner only ever used the Mini for local journeys to the shops tallying up little mileage, and when he passed away his neighbour acquired the vehicle in 2020. Since then, it has been used sparingly and has more recently been treated to recommissioning totalling over £3,000. In wonderful original condition the Mini has been garaged its whole life and is offered with a current MoT test certificate valid until August 2022 and the current UK registration document confirming it has had just two owners from new! Once a common sight on British roads, it is now unusual to see these cars other than at shows and local events. This is a wonderful example and, being an estate model, is both functional and economical - an unrepeatable opportunity.

1959 MG A Roadster Twin Cam Transmission: manualMileage:2157Introduced in 1958, the MGA Twin Cam was the result of a lengthy and involved development but, disappointingly, it returned one of the shortest production runs that Abingdon had ever seen. This certainly makes the car somewhat a rarity with only 2,111 cars being produced between early 1958 and early 1960. The Twin Cam utilised an engine that was never fitted to any other car and was developed from the B series unit. It was difficult to extract more than 60bhp from the standard pushrod engine so Gerald Palmer, the Cowley's plant design engineer, turned his attention to a twin cam unit, the company being keen to get back into serious competition. A special light alloy, cross-flow cylinder head carried twin overhead camshafts housed by two smart looking alloy cam covers adorned the top of the cylinder head whilst a large finned aluminium sump helped to keep the lubricating oil cool. Further design works led to a very healthy 108bhp @ 6700rpm and with a maximum torque figure of 104Ib. ft. @ 4500rpm meant that the new MGA Twin Cam was to be no slouch! Of the 2,111 examples produced, 1,801 were roadsters. There is no doubt that today, the MGA Twin Cam quite rightly has its niche in the MG history book and is a much desired classic. Purchased from Historics at our 2016 Brooklands Museum sale this stunning MGA twin cam roadster is a matching-numbers, UK home-market supplied MGA Twin Cam that still wears its original designated number plate. Manufactured on 9th September 1959, XHL 866 when purchased had just undergone an extensive body-off restoration resulting in this fabulous example. The final finish had been carried out to a very high standard in Chariot Red, its original factory colour. The interior seats are trimmed in black leather with red piping, the interior further featuring the original factory fitted steering wheel. A new hood keeps the occupants dry when required and complimenting the coachwork is the chrome work and badges that, apart from the windscreen surround, had all been re-chromed or replaced. Continental tyres adorn the wonderful and original Dunlop peg wheels (wire wheels were never an option on the MGA). Mechanically, the restoration included an engine overhaul with particular attention being paid to the cylinder head, this being built to the original specification, and the addition of a Hi-Torque starter motor aiding reliable starting. However after purchase the car had troubles with the running in period. Thus our vendor, wanting a perfect example of this true British great, commissioned Valoroso to carry out a full engine rebuild, fit a new aluminium radiator, oil cooler and filter coupled with fuel pump. While this was undertaken a new clutch and new brake pads were added. The car now stands our customer having spent in excess of £70,000, but this results in a truly lovely example. Having covered just 2,157 miles since the coachwork was carefully attended to this example correctly includes the factory fitted steel wings, all in exemplary condition. A history file includes a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate which shows that this is a matching numbers MGA Twin Cam and one of only 210 UK home-market, right hand drive cars built. Also included are invoices for the recent engine rebuild and dyno tests, coupled with photographs from the restoration and various books and manuals. The charm of this MGA Twin Cam is that it has been sympathetically restored to a condition that very much reflects how it may have appeared from the factory in 1959. With so few genuine UK home market, right hand drive MGA Twin Cams surviving today, there is no doubt that this car, built to this standard, is a much desired example of the marque.

1958 Austin Healey BN6 Transmission: manualMileage:22275The Austin-Healey 100 was built between 1953 and 1956 by the British Motor Corporation. It was developed by Donald Healey to be produced in-house by Healey's small car company in Warwick and based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals. Healey built a single 'Healey Hundred' for the 1952 London Motor Show and the design impressed Leonard Lord, Managing Director of Austin, so much that a deal was struck with Healey to build it in quantity at Austin's Longbridge factory. The car was renamed the Austin-Healey 100. The '100' name comes from Donald Healey who selected the name from the car's ability to reach 100mph as opposed to the Austin Healey 3000 which is named for its 3000cc engine. The final '100' models, 1956's 'BN4' (2+2 seats) and 1958's 'BN6' (2 seats) were six-cylinder 100-Six cars. To make room for the occasional seats the wheelbase was increased by two inches. The bonnet had a built-in air scoop and the windscreen no longer folded down. Subject to a full mechanical and bodywork restoration this stunning, Opalescent Grey BN6 was manufactured in 1958 and its interior is in contrasting blood red leather trim. Boasting manual gearbox with overdrive, this desirable two-seater is UK registered and the RU numbered original block has been uprated to a BN7 3.0 litre and rebuilt. When it was restored, the brakes were also uprated to disc brakes at the front. We are informed that this example was built in the UK factory then exported very soon after to South Africa before returning to the UK in 2019. Boasting original factory side screens, Chrome wire wheels with new Michelin tyres, a Kenlow fan upgrade. The most desirable model with the most desirable engine, this example will deliver many more years of driving pleasure; with its classic good looks and strong performance, the BN6 is thought to be the most desirable of the 100/6 series and this example looks fabulous.

1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:35731The Ford Thunderbird ('T-Bird') began life in February 1953 in direct response to Chevrolet's new sports car, the Corvette, which was publicly unveiled in prototype form just a month before. Under rapid development, the Thunderbird went from drawing board to prototype in about a year, being unveiled to the public at the Detroit Auto Show on 20th February 1954. It was manufactured by Ford in the United States over eleven model generations from 1955 through to 2005. The second to fourth generation Thunderbird convertibles were similar in design to the Lincoln convertible of the time and borrowed from earlier Ford hardtop/convertible designs. While these Thunderbird models had a true convertible soft top, the top was lowered to stow in the boot area, considerably reducing available boot space when the top was down. The overall appearance was a sleek look with no trace of a convertible top at all. This lovely and rare example is presented in gleaming red with red interior. It was imported into the UK in 2015 from the USA where it had spent many years on Long Island, New York. It is fully registered here in the UK and comes with a V5 logbook. This striking American classic comes with its original 312ci, 5113 cc V8 engine which is mated to a three-speed manual gearbox with the optional overdrive (currently working intermittently). This Thunderbird was the subject of a full body restoration including re-chromed bumpers, new soft top hood, new exhaust system, new springs and shock absorbers. Total expenditure for works carried out are in excess of £18,000. All receipts for the work carried out by the present vendor are in the history file and the car comes with its original handbook.  This car really does have to be seen to appreciate what a fabulous example it is! Open top touring at its best!

1973 Alfa Romeo Montreal Transmission: manualMileage:57500It is important to understand how the Alfa Romeo Montreal came about as its design and power plant was something to behold. Montreal, Canada, the setting for the 1967 World's Fair; the International and Universal Exposition or 'Expo 67' as it was known. Alfa Romeo was asked to provide an exhibit that would be representative of the automotive industry. The result was a fabulous prototype designed by Marcello Gandini of the Bertone styling house and named Montreal in honour of the event. The 105 series chassis and components were used as a basis, designed with ease of future production in mind. When the first production model was revealed in 1970 the styling was virtually identical to the World's Fair prototype, but the biggest surprise was the power plant under the bonnet. Alfa Romeo used a detuned Type 33 racing car's V8 engine of 2,593cc capacity which produced over 200bhp. Regrettably, the Type 33 six-speed transmission and transaxle were not used, however; a ZF gearbox five-speed gearbox and modified 105 series rear axle were incorporated to good effect. This superb example is possibly the nicest we have seen. Preserved throughout its life the Alfa Romeo is largely original other than the paintwork which was renewed 12 years ago. In excellent condition the Alfa starts up and runs very well and shows a mere 57,391 Kilometres on the odometer which is believed to be genuine. This example speaks for itself, the paintwork is superb as is the engine bay, interior, and underside. Offered with its foreign title, proof of UK taxes paid, and the Nova document the Alfa will require registering here in the UK before use. Very few examples are as original as this one, it's a fantastic opportunity to acquire a sound Alfa Romeo Montreal that is ready to enjoy, and no doubt will enhance any collection. Buyers should also note that the Montreal has recently been serviced, along with the Spiker injection unit being overhauled, including fitting a new belt. It also has a current and strict foreign equivalent of an MoT and is MoT exempt here in the UK.

1979 Ford Escort RS2000 Mk. II Transmission: manualMileage:63923The squarer-styled Escort Mk. II version appeared in January 1975 with the first production models having rolled off the production lines on 2nd December 1974. Unlike the first Escort (which was developed by Ford of Britain), the second generation was developed jointly between the UK and Ford of Germany. Codenamed 'Brenda' during its development, it had the same mechanical configuration as the Mk. I Escort. The estate and van versions used the same panelwork as the Mk. I but with the Mk. II front end and interior. The car used a revised underbody which had in fact been introduced as a running change during the last six months of the life of the Mk. I. The car was a success with just four body styles by competing in many different market niches where rival manufacturers had multiple models. The 'L' and 'GL' models were in the mainstream purchased by the private sector, the 'Sport', 'RS Mexico' and 'RS2000' in the performance market; the 'Ghia' for an untapped small car luxury sector and 'base' models for the fleet market. During the second half of the 1970s, the Escort continued to prove hugely popular with buyers in Britain. Production, after an incredibly popular model run, ended in Britain in August 1980 with other countries following soon after. This lovely example is presented in Signal Green with a brown cloth interior. This is a genuine non-custom Escort RS although it has been fitted with the custom chocolate fishnet Recaro interior and flat grille front. Its original 2.0 litre Pinto has been bored out to 2.1 litre, with twin choke downdraft Webers and a Janspeed exhaust system - therefore one assumes that it is little more powerful than it was originally! It retains its original four-speed rocket gearbox with quick shift and has a balanced and lightened flywheel. A new headlining was recently installed, four Cibie fog lights adorn the front, and it sits on period correct RS alloys, the interior is also in good general condition. A fine example of this desirable model which is now highly sought after.

1970 Jaguar E-Type Series II 2+2 Fixedhead Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:65649Launched, initially as a grand tourer in two-seater coupé form, the Jaguar E-Type, with its sleek lines, was a revelation in 1961, especially with respect to its top speed of 150mph. In 1968, several revisions were introduced, these being, open headlights without the earlier glass covers, a wrap-around rear bumper, re-positioned and larger front indicators and tail lights, now mounted below the bumpers, better cooling aided by an enlarged air intake, twin electric cooling fans and up-rated brakes. The interior and dashboard were also re-designed with rocker switches being substituted for toggle switches whilst re-designed seats were fitted which were certainly more comfortable than the Series I cars. In addition, air conditioning and power steering were available as factory options whilst the transmission retained the all synchromesh manual four-speed gearbox of the later Series I cars. With these changes, the car became known as the Series II E-Type.  Manufactured on 4th May 1970 this E-Type 2+2 was supplied by A.J.Beal Ltd. in Exeter to J.Conway Outfitters Ltd. in Plymouth and registered on 8th October 1970. The Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirms this to be a 4.2 litre example that was fitted with a manual gearbox. It would appear that the second owner of the car had a full engine rebuild in 1979 at a cost of £1,031.92. This is made up from a long list of parts and 186 hours labour at a cost of £4 per hour ! The current vendor has owned this Jaguar since 13th June 1984 and is only the third owner. In the early 1980s the car won numerous awards at a plethora of different events. However the vendor intentionally used the car less and less to keep the mileage down, she currently shows a modest 65,649 miles. Presenting in good solid condition, this E-Type will require recommissioning having been dry stored in a carpeted and heated garage for a number of years. Offered for sale for the first time in over 38 years this Jaguar 2+2 coupé sits proudly on wire wheels and is a true British icon.

1964 Morris Mini Cooper Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:63594To many, its designer Alec Issigonis included, the notion that the Mini might have a future as anything other than basic transport was an anathema, and the idea of a high-performance version was laughable. One man though, saw it quite differently. Racing car manufacturer John Cooper already knew quite a bit about tuning BMC's A-Series engine - he was running the company's Formula Junior effort at the time - and a test drive in a prototype Mini convinced him of the car's competition potential. The result, launched in September 1961, was the Mini Cooper, a car that offered a size/price/performance package that was nothing short of miraculous. The Mini Cooper soon established its credentials as a rally and race winner, and the stage was set for even faster versions. This stunning example was registered in August 1964. This enthusiast owned, iconic Mini features its original gearbox, engine and bodyshell and has benefitted from a full restoration which was completed in 2019 and now presents extremely well in Almond Green paintwork and a contrasting white roof which is complemented by seats trimmed in green and grey. The file for this impressive car contains a photographic history of the restoration, receipts for new parts, previous MoT certificates and a heritage certificate. Offered to auction with a V5 registration document this authentic Mini is well estimated given the continuing popularity of the model.

1987 Land Rover Defender 90 V8 Transmission: manualMileage:179863This 3.5 V8 is a fantastic example that stands out as one of the best we have seen. The list of works completed is extremely impressive. Rebuilt to the owners specification with most of the work being undertaken by the well-respected specialists Hardy engineering, and subject to a recent repaint by Land Rover approved bodyshop Fastlane, this Defender presents wonderfully in white with a retrimmed black interior and all new Mohair soft-top. It benefits from an upgraded stereo and has an all new full carpet set throughout. For extra security a battery cut-off has been fitted and for safety a full length, Land Rover specification roll cage has been added, along with a fire extinguisher and a centre cubby box. The engine is a 3.5 litre V8 with Holley four-barrel carburettors and an Offenhauser manifold, a Lumenition ignition system including coil and Magnecore ignition leads. It is fitted with NGK spark plugs and a Facet red top electric fuel pump. The exhaust system is stainless steel including the manifolds. The car also benefits from a new water pump, starter motor, thermostat, viscous coupling and radiator, filled with Land Rover long life coolant. The LT85 gearbox and transfer box have been fully rebuilt with new shafts and bearings and a complete new clutch. The front and rear differentials were rebuilt and new driveshafts were fitted front and rear. Both front swivel joints have been replaced as have the brakes which were rebuilt by Challenger 4x4, and now feature new discs and pads and new brake shoes to the rear. The Land Rover Defender series is an enduring legend that is loved by enthusiasts internationally. This example has been rebuilt with no expense spared and is offered to auction with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until December 2022. Given the continued strength of the Defender market this example is worthy of any serious buyer.

2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Spider Transmission: manualMileage:40536Manufactured from 2003 to 2013 the Lamborghini Gallardo is important in the history of the Sant Agata firm as it represents the most successful model in their history. Both eminently usable and importantly, reliable, the V10 sportscar had total Audi backup which made it hugely desirable and subsequently, the most successful sportscar built from this particular Carrozzeria. Its secret lies in its light, but stiff space frame chassis mounted to a five litre, V10 engine powering all four wheels on demand. Offered with two choices of transmission; a conventional six-speed manual transmission and an advanced six-speed electro-hydraulically controlled, semi-automatic which Lamborghini abbreviates to 'E-gear'. This allows the driver to make gear changes much faster than they could with a manual gearbox. This Lamborghini was registered on 6th July 2007 and presents in delightful condition. The blue coachwork is unmarked as is the black interior. The specification of this Gallardo is impressive with the car having the all-important front lift, factory satellite navigation and reversing camera. Standard equipment includes heated seats and dual climate control. However perhaps the most interesting feature of all is this 5.0 litre V10 Lamborghini fitted with a manual gearbox! Supplied with a V5 registration document, together with an MoT test certificate valid until 28th March 2023 and an impressive service history. A true supercar with a price tag of over £135,000 when new, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a properly maintained example that is surely a future classic. It would be difficult to find a Gallardo in better condition.

1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SL Pagoda Transmission: manualMileage:93110The very pretty and highly desirable Mercedes-Benz 250SL was the successor to the popular 230 SL and was first introduced to the public at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show. The brief production run ended a year later in January 1968 and as a result of this short run, the 250 SL is the rarest of the W 113 (Pagoda) series cars. These lovely German stalwarts were offered with a four-speed automatic, a four-speed manual box or the ZF five-speed. Also, for the first time an optional limited slip differential was also available. This fabulous fully restored, including engine rebuild, Pagoda Mercedes is presented in red with black leather interior and is left hand drive. Its restoration was carried out by various Mercedes-Benz specialists and looks fabulous. The car had a full glass-out respray, brand new Mercedes-Benz grained leather interior including full dash, door cards, seats etc. Brand new salt and pepper carpets have been installed and brand new wood including dash and surrounds. The restoration also included a brand new Mohair hood, exhaust, headlights and rubber seals throughout, interior works carried out by leading marque specialists, D Class of Surrey cost in excess of £16,000. The full list of the works carried out can be seen in the history file as well as the summary of the engine work which was carried out and it has covered zero miles since its completion. As part of its engine rebuild, it received a full tune up and reset all settings and controls, reset mixture/tappets and clearances as well as draining the oil, brake fluid and the braking system was fully bled. The original documents held on file include its Service Book, stamped Mercedes-Benz Kundendienst, Germany.  Fastidious attention to maintaining originality including correct period Becker Europa radio, Hirschmann aerial and new Michelin tyres.  This truly is a superb restoration and is resplendent in its gleaming new red paint. One of the finest of this marque on the market today.

1988 Volkswagen Dehler Profi T25 Campervan Transmission: manualMileage:136214Dehler is a German brand of sailing yachts. It originated in the former Dehler shipyard that was founded in the 1960s by Willi and Heinz Dehler. As of 2009, the brand belongs to German yacht manufacturer Hanse Yachts, Greifswald. Dehler cooperates with the yacht design studio Judel/Vrolijk & Co.  Accustomed to building furnishings for tight awkward spaces on yachts, in the 80s Dehler decided to put their hands to high end bespoke VW camper conversions, a successful yet niche model line continued through the T3 series onto the later T4 the Dehler Profi. A successful run of around 5,000 units sold before the plug was finally pulled in 1997 after 16 years of production. At its peak, the Profi camper van had accounted for around 15% of Dehler's turnover, and the skilled use of lightweight ABS mouldings and other features in its interior probably had a beneficial influence on some aspects of the yacht designs. This stunning 1988 Dehler Profi T25 camper was imported into the UK from new in 1988 and has been in single ownership and garaged ever since. Presented in blue with coachwork in time warp condition this example has the high-top roof and accompanying awning. Looking through the photos and original brochures, the fit and finish of these Dehler vans is far superior to the Westfalia's and the like of the time. Indeed, even by modern standards they are relatively luxurious. Included is a full shower/wash area, cooker, and beds as you would expect. We are told the owner ordered the camper from the stand at a motorshow and specified his van be exactly the same as the one on the stand costing £28,000, which at the time was nearly three times a Westfalia camper and equivalent to an S class Mercedes or Range Rover. The owner from new built a garage specifically for the van and when it wasn't on holiday it has been garaged, he also decided to underseal from new which has added to the ability to be offered in such incredible condition. Recently serviced and recommissioned by camper specialists including new water pump, belts and fluid change. Supplied with the original brochure, invoices for annual servicing and MoTs dating back to 1990 and shipping documents showing the import duty of £4,775. With a 1.6 litre turbo diesel engine, factory air conditioning and an options list longer than your arm, the campervan is offered with a valid MoT test certificate until June 2023 and history file including many original documents from the manufacturer. This is a real collectors example, original yet 'out of the box', practical and with a real slice of 80s style. Far more fun than a traditional VW camper and viewing is highly recommended.

1976 Triumph Stag Transmission: automaticMileage:82098Launched in 1970, the Triumph Stag was a luxury grand tourer. Envisioned as a luxury sports car, it was designed to compete directly with the Mercedes-Benz SL class models. All Stags were four-seater convertible coupés but for structural rigidity and to meet new American rollover standards at the time, the Stag required a B-pillar 'roll bar' hoop connected to the windscreen frame by a T-bar. A new 2.5 litre, V8 designed and developed by Triumph's Harry Webster was later enlarged to 2,997cc. Most Stags were fitted with a Borg Warner automatic gearbox although manual gearboxes with overdrive were available. Electric windows, power steering and power-assisted brakes were fitted as standard. Originally registered on 23rd April 1976, this Triumph presents in the colour combination of green with black interior. The engine has just been rebuilt and runs very well. It should be noted that the mileage covered on the engine since the rebuild is approximately 200 therefore a gentle period of 'running-in' must be adhered to. We are advised the automatic transmission operates as it should and that the car drives with no know faults. This well-priced and handsome Triumph Stag, with automatic gearbox, will carry you elegantly through the summer.

2015 Land Rover Defender 90 XS Transmission: manualMileage:55000The Land Rover Defender was launched in 1948 and, incredibly, production only finished in January 2016 after a continuous run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 vehicles from the Series III Land Rover. A full-length bonnet, revised grille, plus the fitting of wheel arch extensions to cover wider-track axles are the most noticeable changes. Internally, coil springs offered a more comfortable ride and a permanent four-wheel drive system derived from the Range Rover featuring a two-speed transfer gearbox with a lockable centre differential. A modernised interior and a new series of progressively more powerful and modern engine characterised things under the skin. Presented in Zermatt Silver with Santorini Black roof and bonnet this 90 hardtop Defender XS with six-speed manual gearbox boasts just one previous owner and was first registered April 2015. Supplied with original Land Rover high back heated leather seats, heated front and rear windows, air conditioning, full black Alcantara headlining, Bluetooth connection, five new BF Goodrich tyres with unmarked gloss black alloy Sawtooth wheels and mud flaps all around. The uprated look continues with gloss black KBX wing grilles along with black twisted steering guard, rear NAS step/towbar and billet aluminium window blocks. A Moto-lita steering wheel is fitted, however should you wish the 'as new' original Land Rover wheel is still available. Importantly, in addition to this there is a factory alarm plus a hidden kill/immobiliser switch and a full Land Rover expedition roof-rack and access ladder was installed from new. We are informed the underside of the car is in extremely good condition but as a preventative measure the vendor has had a full underbody Dinitrol treatment. Accompanied by a comprehensive main dealer/specialist service history this is a very attractive example.

1986 Porsche 944 Turbo Transmission: manualMileage:22099The Porsche 944 was built from 1982 to 1991 and was built on the same platform as the 924. It was intended to last into the 1990s but major revisions planned for a 944 S3 model were eventually rolled into the 968 instead which replaced the 944. The 944 was a successful model and was available as both a coupé and cabriolet in naturally aspirated and turbocharged forms. In mid-1985, the Porsche 944 underwent significant changes. The post-1985 cars, turbos and S variants are considered more desirable than the earlier cars, having improved interiors, suspensions and engines.  First registered on the 1st May 1986, this 944 Turbo is offered in possibly the best colour combination of black bodywork with a black interior. The immaculate condition of this car is a tribute to the cars fastidious, enthusiast owner. The file for this Porsche contains an impressive MoT test history that confirms the cars particularly low mileage. Examples of this quality are hard to find. The Turbo is the most collectible of the 944 family, giving vivid acceleration and surprising economy with ample luggage space, unlike some coupés, and useful rear seats for a young family. Offered with a V5c registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate this 944 certainly deserves consideration by any potential buyer.

2007 Porsche 911 / 997 Carrera 2S Transmission: manualMileage:54940The sixth generation of the Porsche 911 was dubbed the 997 and introduced in 2005. It retained the previous model's basic profile but drew on the 993 for detailing. In addition, the new headlights reverted to the original bug-eye design. The interior was similarly revised, with strong links to the earlier 911 interiors while at the same time looking fresh and modern. Initially, two versions of the 977 were introduced, the rear-wheel-drive Carrera and Carrera S. In late 2005 Porsche introduced the four-wheel drive versions of the 997, the Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S which were announced as 2006 models. The 997 remain a worthy model of one of the most celebrated sports cars ever produced and also received mostly positive reviews from the worldwide motoring press, with Jeremy Clarkson, a known detractor of Porsche cars, noting that the 997 will make love to your fingertips and stir your soul. This lovely Porsche 997 Carrera 2S, fitted with the desirable six-speed manual gearbox, was supplied new by Porsche Reading in October 2007. Since then, it has had three owners and has only covered 55,000 miles. The car has a full-service history with seven stamps in the service book, the first six from Porsche Guildford dated 30/9/09, 6/10/11, 1/10/13, 4/9/15, 9/3/17 and 13/3/19 the last service was carried out by Porsche specialist Eporsch on 25th April 2022. Recently the car has had the clutch replaced. It comes with a high specification including Sat Nav, Bose sound system, electric heated seats, Porsche stability management and Porsche active suspension management. Finished in grey with black leather interior this Carrera 2S is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in April 2023 and a complete handbook pack containing operation manuals and the stamped service book. The terrific performance on offer combined with reliability and build quality narrow down the choice of sports cars on offer to the Porsche 997 and this represents a superb example.

1974 Ford Capri Mk. II Ghia (3.0 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:17980This is a rare opportunity to acquire an early pre-facelift Mk. II Capri 3.0 Ghia that benefits from the highly desirable manual gearbox. Considered by many Ford enthusiasts to be the Holy Grail of the model. This 1974 example has covered a mere 17,980 miles and presents in original and unrestored condition and features the period correct Ronal alloy wheels and a chrome roof mounted rear window washer. The original sunroof instruction sticker remains attached to the factory fitted windscreen, even the original supplying dealer Bristol Street Motors number plates, rear window sticker and tax disc holder remain. The file for this time warp example contains the four early MoT test certificates the car passed before spending the next 39 years in professional storage. Following this recommissioning was undertaken, during which the engine was flushed, the brakes were overhauled and received new front calipers, pads, repair to the master cylinder and various brake pipes and hoses. The radiator was re-cored, oil and filters were changed, a new battery and four new tyres were fitted. The cost of these works was £2,000. A completely new sports exhaust system was sourced from the Capri Club and now fitted gives an amazing roar. This wonderful Capri then passed its first MoT in forty years with no advisories! Presented to auction with a V5 registration document and although exempt by age an MoT test certificate valid until May 2023, an original operation and care handbook and the early MoT's. Given the recent popularity of similar models this Capri must surely be a must have for any serious collector.

1960 Ford Anglia 997cc Transmission: manualMileage:64008When the Anglia 105E was introduced in September 1959, Ford switched to an overhead valve engine for its smallest family saloon. The 997cc four-cylinder unit proved to be a very reliable unit and lent itself to being tuned, hence the success in Formula Three and Formula Junior. The suspension retained the McPherson strut at the front and live rear axle, however the gearbox was uprated to a four-speed unit helping the Anglia to a top speed of 73mph. Styling of the 105E was interesting with an 'open mouth' grille and reverse sloping rear window. The Anglia was an outstanding success for Ford, selling more than a million units until production ended in 1967. This Anglia was first registered on 1st March 1960. Presented in good order throughout it can only be classed as a genuine example with many original items still in place after 60 years.

1994 TVR 3000S V8 Transmission: manualMileage:69360Small scale car producers TVR played the 'Lotus alternative' roll throughout the 1960s and '70s with a range of pretty, curvaceous fiberglass coupé bodies sitting on a steel tube backbone chassis. Into the early 1980s and TVR caught up with the Origami trend for more angular bodies and though still dynamically excellent machines, the uncompromising styling of the Tasmin and its brethren proved to have a relatively short shelf life. For the V8 S they tweaked the engine up to 3.9 litres with a 10.5:1 compression ratio, popped on gas flowed heads with free breathing manifolds and inserted a high lift cam. The resultant 240 bhp and 270 lb/ft of torque propelled the roadster, via a Rover five-speed gearbox and a limited slip differential, to 60 in five seconds and on to 150mph while giving it real world 50 to 70 in top gear performance that was superior to an Aston Martin Virage or Ferrari Testarossa. 'Boom', as they say these days. This nice British classic is presented in Cooper Green with cream interior and has only had four owners from new which is rare for these sports cars. It was originally owned by BP International and is supplied with a comprehensive service history with many stamps in the book and its servicing has mainly been carried out by TVR dealerships until 2000 when it was followed by many TVR and sports car specialists. More recently it has been looked after by Automark (specialist tuning company). It has the desirable targa top which provides open top motoring and its four litre V8 is mated to a five-speed gearbox. The car drives well according to the owner, with its manual gearbox a joy to use and looking good on its original wheels and it also comes with a spare key and a fresh MoT test certificate.  Super British sports car with traditional brutish V8 - great!

1970 Volkswagen Beach Buggy Transmission: manualMileage:7981Starting with the Meyers Manx in the early Sixties the dune buggy craze took off in America. Meyers named it Manx for its stubby tail with the engine exposed, like the breed of cat. Even the buggy's stance, low at the front and high at the rear, emulated its feline namesake. Bruce F. Meyers, a Californian engineer, artist, boat builder and surfer, produced the Manx at his Fountain Valley, SoCal-based facilities from 1964 through 1971. Used up VW Beetles were abundant in California and the surf culture was at its peak in the Sixties. The dune buggy epitomized the California lifestyle, and as the concept was so simple and so inviting, it spread quickly. The Meyers Manx appeared in several movies, including Elvis Presley films, and the 1968 The Thomas Crown Affair, which contains a lengthy beach driving scene in which Steve McQueen drives a Manx with Faye Dunaway at his side. Registered on 5th August 1970 this excellent example looks superb in ocean blue coachwork over a wonderful black interior. The beach buggy drives very well indeed and sounds fantastic when on song. Sitting proudly on chrome wheels shod with good tyres all round the beach buggy is also fitted with the very powerful 1584cc engine, this example is a real one off and looks fantastic! The chromework shines bright and the paintwork and interior both present exceptionally well. Currently part of a significant private collection, with in house technicians it is exercised occasionally and maintained where necessary. Offered with a sizeable history file including various old MoT test certificates, its current UK registration document, various sundry bills, a current MoT valid until October 2022, and as new all-weather covers. Driven to the sale from the heart of Kent this is arguably the best beach buggy we have ever seen and the best in the UK, and we are sure it will be a sound purchase for the new custodian.

1988 Evante Convertible Series I Transmission: manualMileage:33644Renowned worldwide for its successful racing engines, the Spalding-based firm of Vegantune diversified into car making in the early 1980s with the Lotus Elan-inspired Evante, a separate company - Evante Cars Ltd - being set up to handle its manufacture. Although Elan-like in appearance, the glassfibre-bodied Evante employed a stronger, tubular-steel spaceframe chassis rather than the Lotus's backbone type and was powered by Vegantune's own Ford-based VTA twin-cam engine. Producing 170bhp and 140lb/ft of torque from its 1.7 litres, this engine, with its belt-driven camshafts and accessible water pump, was reckoned much easier to maintain than the Lotus version. Only produced to individual customer order, the Evante failed to weather the late 1980s recession. After only a limited number had been made, the operation was sold to a consortium of Spalding businessmen, who continued production of the Evante 140TC. In the autumn of 1992, Evante was sold to another specialist vehicle manufacturer - Newark-based Fleur De Lys Automobile Manufacturing Limited - which re-engineered the chassis to accept the 1.8 litre Ford Zetec 16 valve engine. This rare example of this British sports car is presented in Metallic Blue with blue leather interior, with an attractive Walnut dashboard. It was sent back to Vegantune main agent at 20,000 miles and was fully upgraded to Series II Sprint specification. This included new upgraded bearings and pistons, reworked big valve head and camshafts, twin 45mm twin choke carburettors, new stainless steel exhaust and upgraded Spax adjustable coil over shock absorbers. The car also benefits from a new hood and comes with its tonneau covers which are in good condition. There are two history folders accompanying the car with specification sheets, old MoTs and receipts for work carried out. The current vendor has fastidiously maintained this great little sportscar and she now has brand new carpets, an engine that runs very well and brakes that work efficiently. Powered by the lively and great sounding 1700cc Twin Cam engine which provides exciting performance with great handling to match. Supplied with a V5 document together with an MoT valid until 3rd May 2023; marketed originally as the 'Lotus eater' it is easy to see why. Such a great fun car for the summer.

2005 Porsche 991 / 997 Carrera 2S Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:45910The 996 model of the 911 Porsche was replaced by the 997 in 2005.The new model shares less than a third of its parts with the outgoing 996 but is technically similar to it. At the launch two versions were introduced. They were the Carrera and the more powerful and better equipped Carrera S. This was the first time since 1977 that the 911 was offered in two power versions. The specification differences included larger and more powerful brakes with red calipers, lowered suspension featuring the 'Porsche Active Suspension Management' system, xenon headlights and a sports steering wheel. This nice low mileage example is presented in black with black leather interior and a black electrically operated hood. It comes with a large book pack with some servicing invoices and was last inspected in July 2021 when a major service was carried out, replacing cambelts, plugs, filters, oil pump, tandem vac and successful bore scope was carried out. Its exhaust system was replaced this year and its roof operation and micro switch were replaced, the air conditioning was re-gassed and the bonnet struts were replaced. Its 3.8 litre six-cylinder engine is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox and it comes with satellite navigation and air conditioning and has a fresh MoT test certificate. With a very reasonable reserve price, this iconic Porsche sports car offers everything one would expect.

Standard performance figures are 245bhp, 345lb ft, a 0-60mph time of 5.4 seconds and a top speed of 153mph - although the exhaust upgrades alone are reputed to improve all significantly.

This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a well sorted Corvette ready for the summer!

1980 Triumph Dolomite Sprint Transmission: manualMileage:13687Although the Triumph Dolomite proved to be refined and rapid, competitors such as the BMW 2002 had a performance advantage which was costing Triumph dearly, both in terms of sales and prestige. To remedy this, Triumph unveiled the Dolomite Sprint in June 1973. A team of engineers led by Spen King developed a 16-valve cylinder head with all the valves being actuated using a single camshaft rather than the more conventional DOHC arrangement. The capacity was also increased to 1998cc and combined with bigger carburettors the output was upped to 127bhp. This represented a significant power increase over the smaller 1850cc variant, targeting 135bhp. First registered on 12th March 1980 this Dolomite Sprint presents well in the head turning colour of Inca Yellow which is complemented with a dark grey interior. The Sprints enthusiast owner tells us that this Triumph runs well and is a joy to drive. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and various bills and receipts this MoT exempt Dolomite could prove to be a fun investment and should be given serious consideration. Offered without reserve

2000 Mini Cooper S Sport Transmission: manualMileage:61737The Mini was manufactured by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original Mini was, of course, considered a British icon of the 1960's with its space-saving front-wheel drive layout allowing a large percentage of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage, this influenced a generation of car makers and started the rush to create the best small family car.

1994 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit III Transmission: manualMileage:52183The Silver Spirit was unveiled in October 1980 as a replacement for the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. Direct comparison, however, showed only small differences. The new models had slightly grown in length and width; height had been cut a little, although the styling was more modern than that of its predecessor. The interior was dominated by the expected combination of fine wood and sumptuous leather.  The Silver Spirit was similar mechanically to the Silver Shadow, benefiting from the superb Rolls-Royce 6,750cc, V8 and sharing many mechanical characteristics of the model it replaced. The instruments were supplemented by digital units which gave such information as the time, elapsed driving time and external temperature and were the first Rolls-Royces to be fitted with a retractable Spirit of Ecstasy. Originally registered in August 1994 this immaculate and original example is finished in the desirable colour combination of Royal Blue paintwork with light grey leather trim piped in blue.

Also present is the original owners handbook and a copy of the cars construction and test records from the manufacturer. This Rolls-Royce is sensibly estimated given the cars original cost, history and current condition. Offering enormous amounts of style and luxury this car is one of the most elegant vehicles available today.

1957 Land Rover Series I Transmission: manualMileage:13165In the aftermath of the Second World War, Rover's chief engineer Maurice Wilks used a 'demobbed' Willys Jeep around his farm in Anglesey and was impressed with its abilities. Eventually, it wore out and he was keen to replace it with a British vehicle, however, nothing remotely similar was available. Coincidentally, his brother Spencer, who was Managing Director at Rover, had reached the same conclusion as he struggled to get his Rover 10 to reach the more inaccessible parts of his estate on Islay. This is where `The Best 4x4 by Far' started - a utility vehicle devised in 1947, they would have no idea that Maurice's resulting design would become an icon and launch a whole new industry sector. The vehicle appeared as the 'Land Rover' in 1948 and proved so popular with the military and the farming fraternity that demand massively outstripped supply. This late example Series I Land Rover was registered in August 1957 and following a ground-up restoration presents well in the classic Land Rover colour combination of dark green with a green interior. The canvas covers are also in good order, having been replaced during the restoration. We are informed by the vendor that this example is fun to drive and benefits from the practical inward facing rear bench seats. This iconic 4 x 4 is a fine example and is offered without reserve. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate its quality.

1991 BMW 850i Transmission: automaticMileage:128500Design of the 8 Series began in 1984 with the final design phase and production development in 1986. It debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in early September 1989 and was designed to move beyond the market of the original 6 Series. The 8 Series however had substantially improved performance as well as a far higher purchase price. Over 1.5 billion Deutsche Marks were spent on development; BMW used CAD tools, still unusual at the time, to design the car's all-new body. Combined with wind tunnel testing, the resulting car had a drag coefficient of 0.29 and offered the first V12 engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox on a road car. It was also one of the first vehicles to be fitted with an electronic drive-by-wire throttle.Originally supplied by the BMW main dealer on the 22 August 1991 this BMW 850i has been in a stable full of BMW's that our vendor has collected over the past decade, interestingly all in the same colour.

Supplied with an MoT test certificate valid until March 2023 these BMW 8 series, especially with the V12 engine, are becoming a more appreciated modern classic and this example is no exception. What better way to enjoy driving than in this pillarless coupé.Interested parties should note that the wheels photographed in our catalogue are not the wheels sold with the vehicle, the original 850 wheels are now on the car.
