New Kingdom, ca. 1570-1070 BC.An alabaster ushabti. This mummiform figurine stands atop a diminutive, level base, with its hands gracefully crossed at the chest, firmly grasping the symbolic tools of the afterlife. The head of the ushabti exhibits intricate details, including a meticulously fashioned wig. Notably, the reverse side of the ushabti remains unadorned, characterized by its unworked, flat surface. Ushabtis, a term derived from the ancient Egyptian word "swabty" meaning "answerer," were miniature funerary figurines intricately crafted to serve their deceased owners in the realm of the afterlife. These figurines were commonly placed within tombs, often in large numbers, as part of burial practices and beliefs in ancient Egypt. It was believed that ushabtis would magically come to life and perform manual labor and tasks in the place of the deceased in the afterworld. The intricate detail and symbolic elements present on this particular ushabti illustrate the importance placed on the provision of companionship and assistance to the deceased in their eternal journey. Size: L:83mm / W:28mm ; 45g Provenance: Property of a central London gallery; formerly in an old Uk collection formed in the 1970s, purchased in 2018 from a Dorset gentleman.

As glamorous today as they were when launched in the 1950s, the swooping lines of these elegant roadsters have stood the test of time.The Mercedes-Benz 300SL was the first iteration of the SL class of Grand Tourers and the fastest production car of its day. Introduced in 1954 as a two-seat coupé with distinctive gull-wing doors, it was later offered as an open roadster. Hugely successful in Europe and across the pond, coupé and roadster production topped out at 3,258 cars. For those not wealthy enough to afford the 300SL, or simply not able to find one, Mercedes-Benz offered the less exotic but no less refined 190SL. Announced in 1954 and based on the 180 Saloon, whose all-independently-suspended running gear it shared, the 190SL did not enter production until January 1955, the delay being caused by the time taken to strengthen and develop the saloon's shortened platform to compensate for the open car's reduced stiffness.This glamorous Mercedes-Benz 190SL was purchased by our vendor in 2016 from our Silverstone Auctions, Salon Privé Sale and has benefited from much recent expenditure.  According to the Salon Privé listing, this 190SL was delivered new in finished in DB190 'Graphitgrau' ( graphite grey) with red leather, matching red carpets and a black soft top. The proud first owner was John J. Termini of Southampton, New York in 1961, and he kept the car until the summer of 1969 when he sold it to its second custodian, Dr Costanzo, on June 24th. For the next three decades, the small Mercedes roadster would be a stylish daily driver used as a car should be, commuting to work, country clubs, and events in Dr Costanzo's home town on Long Island.In 2003, the decision was taken to comprehensively refurbish the Mercedes and the car was fully stripped. The body was taken back to bare metal, repairs were made in the areas that required it and the shell was then carefully prepared and professionally painted in its original colour. We understand that it was completely gone through mechanically, but photos and receipts documenting the tens of thousands of dollars invested in this project were lost by the previous owner.With its matching hardtop and soft top, this matching engine number, left-hand drive, Mercedes 190SL was imported into the UK in 2015 and has had one former registered keeper prior to its current ownership during its time here. The odometer indicates circa 94,000 miles and the car has benefited from significant expenditure whilst with our vendor.InteriorOriginal seats have been recovered in full leather to original specification (replacing the PVC covers installed by a previous owner) and to the correct Mulberry Red Pantone matching the rest of the interiorExteriorAll original bumpers and light bezels have been re-chromed and the front grille brightwork section replaced in full.Engine Bay AreaWhilst the engine was out, the full engine bay and subframe were stripped back to bare metal, the battery box replaced and all undercoated and painted in chassis black.The old worn steering box was replaced with new re-manufactured unit.The radiator was stripped and re-cored.Front brakes refurbished with new shoes.Engine - Rebuilt by Foxcraft Engineering- Stripped, inspected and crack tested.- Block honed and head vapour-blasted and re-engineered including all new valve seats- Crankshaft and cams crack-tested and polished- Engine rebuilt with all new bearings and seals, new con-rods and pistons, new valves and valve springs, timing chain and tensioners, belt and studs.- Carbs stripped and rebuilt with new seals- New water pump- Electric fuel pump installed removing the mechanical pump.

From our vendor's remarkable 50-year-ownership, this much-loved and previously fully-restored diminutive British sportscar is now a rare sight; even rarer in this sort of condition and with a fascinating backstory.  When the TVR Vixen appeared in 1967, the tiny Blackpool carmaker had been around in one form or another for almost 20-years. The formula for every TVR after the first handful was pretty much the same: a fiberglass coupé body over a unique tubular frame with as many high-volume parts from major manufacturers as possible.Along the way, engines included side-valve Fords, B-series MGs, Coventry Climaxes and Ford V8s but the engine that really helped TVR reach volume status was the Ford Cortina 1,600cc crossflow unit. 12 of the early, short-wheelbase Vixens used up supplies of MG B 1,798cc engines, but the Cortina unit was lighter, revved a bit more freely and came with the slick all-synchro Cortina GT 4-speed gearbox. If it gave up a few horsepower to the MG unit, it gave away nothing in performance.When the S2 Vixen came along in 1968, the chassis and body rode on a 90'' wheelbase, which enlarged the doors and made the interior roomier, and, for the first time, a TVR body was bolted - not bonded - to its chassis, greatly easing collision repairs and restoration. The body was uniquely TVR, with a wraparound rear window that made for a very bright cockpit. Also unique were the tidy corner bumpers, aluminium window frames and the alloy wheels that came on virtually all S2 Vixens. Electrical components (such as the Cortina taillights) and switches came from Lucas, while the front uprights, differential and brakes were from Triumph.This is one of 438 hand-built Series 2 examples and is powered by the venerable 1,600cc crossflow ‘four’ paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox. Remarkably, it has been owned for the last 50-years by the same person, our vendor. After manufacture at the TVR Bispham factory, it was bought by her in June 1974 from a garage in Alderley Edge then used as a ‘normal’ everyday car, filling it with microwave ovens (when she worked for Toshiba) or cases of wine when she set up her own wine business.By the early 1980s, the chassis had been shot-blasted and galvanised, whilst the engine was ‘fettled’ and very possibly 'developed' by David Gerald TVR of Inkberrow; she never had a complete breakdown of the work done, but suffice to say, a few years later she had to have a ‘tamer’ cam fitted.Between 1999 and 2001, the car was fully restored by local engineer and car/rally enthusiast, Peter Kukainis of Crickhowell, with the work totalling around £6,000, accompanied by a full photographic record and invoices. Since then, the car has routinely been serviced (again, with all invoices) and used regularly in the summer months, whilst always being garaged when not in use. It is running and driving as well as you would want and presented in very authentic condition, with just the right amount of patina.The hope is that this little TVR will be bought by a similar enthusiast, as it has lots of driving fun and miles yet to offer; a special car coming from a very special ownership.SpecificationMake: TVRModel: VIXEN S2Year: 1969Chassis Number: LVX13904Registration Number: STD 10GTransmission: Manual Engine Number: D75108 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 107554 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

On offer from a private Collection, this Immaculately restored Morris Mini Pick-Up is about as good as you will ever find.Introduced in January 1961, the Mini Pick-Up was based around the same stretched platform as its Panel Van sibling. Similarly exempt from sales tax as a commercial vehicle, it sported a pressed steel grille, sliding windows and external door hinges throughout its 22-year production life. Initially powered by an 848cc four-cylinder, it could be specified with the more powerful 998cc engine from1967 onwards (both A-series units being mated to the same 4-speed manual transmission). Benefiting from a 4"-longer wheelbase, taller rear suspension turrets and underfloor fuel tanks, the Pick-Up/Panel Van derivatives were arguably even more fun to drive than their saloon equivalents. Mini became a standalone brand during October 1969, with parent company, British Leyland, dropping the compact saloon and its derivatives from the Austin and Morris ranges, a change signified by simplified badging and a new logo. The otherwise unchanged Pick-Up could still be had in 850 or 1,000 guises.Dating from 26th February 1962, this pretty little Morris Mini Pick-Up found it's way into the hands of our vendor in January 2011 and underwent a comprehensive and meticulous nut and bolt restoration, leaving no detail overlooked. Now very smartly-presented in Willow Green with black trim, it retains its original 848cc engine and 4-speed gearbox, and can truly be described as excellent in every area, one of the best we have ever seen. Part of our vendor's significant Collection, it's kept safe and dry, regularly maintained, with a small history file including the Heritage Trust Certificate, and used for a bit of fun and the occasional trip to Goodwood.For collectors and enthusiasts alike, 6396 MU presents a golden opportunity to acquire a meticulously restored 1960s classic, offering more than its fair share of nostalgia.SpecificationMake: MORRISModel: MINIYear: 1962Chassis Number: MAV4217735Registration Number: 6396 MUTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 197961 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 6365 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

A wonderful Lux example wearing its original colours and presented in wonderful condition.Launched at the 1968 International Auto Show in Frankfurt, Germany, the BMW 2002 was a notable model in the company's history, credited with helping to establish BMW's reputation for producing sporty and compact luxury cars. Following the standard 2002’s success, BMW launched the 2002 Tii in 1971, again at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Designed by the legendary German engineer, Wilhelm Hofmeister, it quickly gained popularity for its remarkable performance and handling. The 2002 Tii was specifically built to offer a more dynamic driving experience, whilst boasting a fuel-injected 2-litre M10 engine with a rating of 130bhp, delivering a top speed of 118mph yet maintaining practicality for everyday use, solidifying its status as a timeless classic in BMW's history.The 2002 Tii Lux is a rare find, with only 3,680 right-hand drive Tii models ever produced, and just a limited number equipped with the luxurious Lux package, which offered enhanced interior features including wooden accents, a padded steering wheel, velour-covered seats, and other home comforts.Under the bonnet, this car has a mechanical Kugelfischer fuel injection system, which contributed to its impressive performance. The forward-leaning stance and low waistline along with the large glasshouse provide the 2002 Tii Lux with a purposeful appearance and excellent all-round visibility.Acquired by its current owner in August 2014, this BMW has received meticulous care and attention. Although there is no history file from prior ownership, invoices indicate ongoing maintenance and restoration work carried out over recent years. Notably, the car underwent a repaint between 2016 and 2017, giving it a factory-correct Golf Yellow finish, a testament to the owner's commitment to preserving its authenticity.The car comes with its Owner's Manual, two sets of keys, a spare wheel and the factory jack, making it ready for its next owner to enjoy. With just 13,000 miles on an unstamped BMW replacement engine, this rare and sought after 2002 Tii Lux is sure to impress collectors and enthusiasts alike, offered at a hugely enthusiastic price point.SpecificationMake: BMWModel: 2002 TII LUXYear: 1975Chassis Number: 2771017Registration Number: LLL 935PTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 2771017Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 14048 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

An iconic 1980s hot hatch with just one keeper from new and less than 1,000 miles. Surely the lowest-mileage XR3 left?No one could do go-faster quite like Ford, and at its unveiling in August 1980, the XR3 represented a master class in addenda-driven design. The whale-tail spoiler, the distinctive - soon to be iconic - cloverleaf alloy wheels both became instant classics. Its 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine was hailed as the height of modernity and could rustle up a whole 96bhp. Okay, it may have been less than 100bhp, but this was 1980 and in the XR3's defence, its 8.5sec 0-60mph time was quicker than the Golf GTI's, with 14bhp less.First registered on 1st August 1981 to it's one and only keeper, this superbly presented Ford XR3 has just been recommissioned, with new fuel and water pipes and a new exhaust system after being laid up when it had covered just 992 miles on the road between 1981 and 1984. It's finished in its original Diamond White, accented by the correct black plastic and rubber trims with factory sunroof, and sits on its original 14" Clover alloys.It's trimmed in red/grey laser cloth and has the the small two-spoke steering wheel which was fitted to the early cars. Its factory Philips 'P-Series' radio remains, along with factory features including climate control/ventilation, wind-down windows and a heated rear window. The Anthracite headlining, door cards, and carpeting show only minimal wear reflecting the super-low-mileage.Powered by Ford's (revolutionary at the time)1.6-litre Canted Valve Hemispherical chamber (CVH) engine mated to a twin-choke Weber carburettor which generated 96bhp at 6,000rpm offering 0-60 in 8.5 seconds and a top speed of 113mph. It's fitted with a 4-speed manual transmission which was standard on pre-February 1982 cars. This time-warp Ford is supplied with the original keys and the dealer book pack, as presented by Spate Ford of Malvern, including the service record detailing its one and only service.This superb XR3 would grace the home of any serious Ford collector or enthusiast, and will surely be one of the stars of any Blue Oval event. With less than 100 reported to be left on the road, is this the lowest-mileage XR3 left?SpecificationMake: FORDModel: XR3Year: 1981Chassis Number: WF0BXXGCABBR49532Registration Number: FUY 950XTransmission: ManualEngine Number: BR49532 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 992 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

An original UK-supplied, right-hand drive, manual gearbox V12, carefully restored in the past.A decade after the original Jaguar E-type arrived, the design progressively matured through 1971 with the introduction of the Series 3. Designed to showcase the new smooth and torquey 5.3-litre engine, originally developed for Le Mans, the Series 3 cars were available as a Roadster (convertible) or a 2+2 Coupe. The Series 3 is easily identifiable by its large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tyres, a larger bonnet bulge, updated bumpers, four exhaust tips and a badge on the rear that proclaims it to be a V12. It also featured uprated brakes, power steering as standard and a large horizontal scoop added to the underside of the bonnet to assist with cooling. The interior was entirely new in the V12, with more comfortable seating, stylish new door panels and a smaller dished and leather-rimmed steering wheel. Being slightly larger and altogether much softer in nature, the E-type in Series 3 form had lost the wildness of its youth but gained the long-legged touring profile, to which it was arguably better suited.On offer here is an original UK-registered, right-hand drive Series 3 Roadster finished in Opalescent Silver with red hide and a black roof, complemented by the almost obligatory set of chrome wire wheels. Rolling off the production line in December 1971, the Jaguar was initially supplied through Ritchie’s of Glasgow and first registered with the very interesting registration number ‘7R’ which unfortunately no longer remains with the vehicle, however the present private registration, PDO 94, is to remain assigned to the E-Type once sold, an attractive addition. Restored some years ago to a very high standard, the Jaguar remains in outstanding condition throughout. The exterior paintwork is almost blemish free with the interior looking as if it has been freshly retrimmed. Mechanically we understand that it runs and drives superbly, underlined by bills and invoices detailing regular care and maintenance in recent years, including detailed paperwork from Corton-Miller of Boston, Lincolnshire, classic car specialists and tuning experts. Also in the history file are older registration documents, previous MOT Certificates, and a Heritage Certificate issued in 2021, as well as the original Handbook and Passport to Service.Finished in one of the most pleasing of E-Type colour schemes and with the desirable manual gearbox, PDO 94 is ready to enjoyed once again by its next custodian, be that at the local Classic Car Show or pressed into use as the Grand Tourer that it was always intended to be.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: SERIES 3 V12 ROADSTERYear: 1971Chassis Number: 1S1170Registration Number: PDO 94Transmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Red HideClick here for more details and images

Number 54 of only 99 UK-supplied, right-hand drive Giulia convertibles, professionally restored in the past and now awaiting your inspection.Launched in 1963, the Giulia Sprint GT featured classically stylish four-seater coachwork designed by Bertone's Giorgetto Giugiaro. Beneath the skin, the new coupé utilised the recently introduced 105-Series Giulia TI saloon's all-synchromesh, 5-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension, coil-sprung live rear axle and - early cars excepted - all round Dunlop disc brakes. The Sprint GT offered a healthy 106bhp from its 1,570cc version of Alfa Romeo's all-aluminium twin-cam, inline-four, breathing through two twin-choke Weber 40DCOE 4 carburettors.Quite rightly, the Giulia Sprint GT remains a very fashionable and in-demand classic car to own and drive, noted for their good looks, driving enjoyment, and ease of tuning, with values having increased significantly in recent years. Building further on this appeal, but adding rarity, bespoke coachwork and wind-in-the-hair motoring to the mix, there is a Giulia model built between 1964 and 1966, with just 998 examples plucked from the Arese production line and sent to expert coach-builders 'Touring' at Nova Milanese to be subtlety transformed into svelte four-door cabriolets, a model known as the Giulia 'GTC'.With its roof removed, its floor strengthened, a slightly more sloping tail, larger boot, wind-up rear quarter-lights, and a hood that folded unobtrusively into a recess behind the rear seats, the GTC was the consummate Italian soft top. At a heady £2,000 when new, Alfa Romeo were sufficiently confident of GTC sales in the UK that it commissioned a small production run of just 99 examples in right-hand drive form.This rare Alfa Giulia GTC, finished in Alfa 105 Rosso, is the 54th of those 99 right-hand drive cars produced with possibly only 12 known to still exist. It was comprehensively restored some years ago by Richard Norris and Justin Banks of Alfaholics with an engine rebuild completed by Bob Dove. The body rebuild utilised a complete set of NOS body panels, but not before the chassis and sill sections were strengthened to address the inherent scuttle shake for which the GTC is known. This was followed by a complete retrim in black hide topped off with a replacement hood. Now, some years later, it's evident that the delightful Giulia has been well-cared for by subsequent owners and still presents superbly not only in terms of its looks, but also mechanically having been constantly maintained, as and when required, by its present long-term custodian. This delightful little cabriolet is accompanied by a comprehensive history file containing various bills and invoices, a large selection of previous MOT Certificates, and photographs of the rebuild.A must-have for any Alfa collector, this rare convertible has all the right elements that may make it rewarding in investment terms, however, imagine opening the curtains on a sunny Sunday morning and seeing this little red Alfa, nicely polished and top-down looking back at you. Now that's rewarding. SpecificationMake: ALFA ROMEOModel: GIULIA GTCYear: 1966Chassis Number: 760054Registration Number: KGO 346DTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black VynilClick here for more details and images

**Please note the car needs its recently installed fuel pressure regulator adjusting and will be sorted post-sale by Parr Porsche, the installers of the new system.**Outstanding condition, fabulously rare, original Lagoon Green Metallic paintwork, and 22-year long-term ownership with full history, this 930 ticks all the boxes. Much of the Porsche 911's development can be traced back to its racing program at the factory. The catalyst for the creation of the legendary 911 Turbo, known as Project 930, came from the Group 4 Homologation regulations of that era which required the production of 400 road cars, inspiring the birth of the iconic 911 Turbo.Starting its production run in 1975 and lasting until 1989, the Turbo married a KKK turbocharger with the 3-litre Carrera RSR engine used in road trim. This powerful combination delivered an impressive 260bhp, allowing the Turbo to reach a top speed of 155mph. In 1978, the engine was enlarged to 3.3-litres, and an intercooler was added, resulting in a power increase to 300bhp and a top speed exceeding 160mph. It already held the title of the fastest accelerating road car of its time, and the enhancements made it even more formidable.But speed wasn't the only aspect of the Turbo that left enthusiasts in awe; it was also remarkably versatile. Despite having only four speeds in the gearbox, the Turbo could achieve 100mph from a standstill in just 14 seconds. Its distinctive flared wheel arches and tea tray rear spoiler had been seen on the Carrera model before, whilst the interior set new standards for luxury in a 911, leather upholstery, air conditioning, and electric windows making it the best-equipped version yet.Offered here is a right-hand drive, UK-supplied by Cooper Exeter in Devon, C16, 3.3-litre, 4-speed manual gearbox example that's finished in the rare colour of Lagoon Green Metallic (L35Y) with a black leather interior. Lagoon Green under most lights looks more blue than green, think of it as a very light metallic turquoise. It was available on the 911 Carrera but not the Turbo. At the time of purchase, back in 2001, our vendor noted that this was the only 930 Turbo registered in the UK in this colour and that's believed to still be the case.Purchased with 72,000 miles on the odometer, and now showing just 83,420 miles, the car was bought on recognition of the quality of its condition. It's been the pride and joy of its long-term custodian of 22-years and is in simply wonderful condition with a full service history documented in a large lever-arch folder, including a Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche GB in 2015. It has recently been serviced by Parr, including a glowing report in January 2023. There is a huge amount of detail in the history file dating back to its original purchase order, which makes for exceptionally pleasant and reassuring reading.Offered directly from our enthusiast vendor following his long-term ownership, he now feels it is time to move the car on to its next custodian. Having covered just 11,500 miles since 2001, this 930 has been undeniably looked after, and represents a wonderful opportunity to own a highly useable example of one of these iconic German coupés in one of the best colour combinations we’ve ever seen on a 930 Turbo. With the market for these cars continuing to gain strength, we are delighted to offer this classic supercar that could well prove to be a rather shrewd purchase.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 930 TURBO 3.3-LITREYear: 1987Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ93ZHS000268Registration Number: D331 VAMTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 67H00288Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 83420 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

What could be more British than a Mini Cooper and Paddington Bear? Owned from new for 42-years by Vanna and Graham Clutterbuck, the TV producer of Paddington Bear and The Wombles. An amazing survivor, hugely original, with just 21,000 verifiable miles.The car presented here is a 1968 Austin Mini Cooper Mk2 and, according to its accompanying BMIHT Certificate, was manufactured on 25th April 1968, finished in Snowberry White and black paintwork. By the end of May 1968, it had caught the eye of its original owner, Mrs Vanna Clutterbuck, a commercial artist and wife of Graham Clutterbuck, the renowned TV producer who helped bring the original Paddington Bear series and The Wombles to our screens. The couple lived in cosmopolitan W1 Curzon Street (later Chester Square) in Mayfair, living the type of London life you’d associate with the late-1960s and being young creatives. This Mini was used for dashing about, running errands, even a European jaunt to Rome through France, and according to Vanna, would often give Michael Bond CBE and his creation, Paddington Bear, a lift around swinging London! The stories and chat, you can only imagine. Quite a time.Vanna and Graham kept the Mini for some 42-years, ensuring a huge amount of original paperwork (all MOT Certificates, except 1971, 1972 ,1973, its original/complete ‘Passport to Service’, Drivers Handbook, old tax discs, old V5s, parking permits, invoices etc.) remained with it, all helping to corroborate its story/history and, quite remarkably, its mileage of just 21,000. The condition of the Mini is totally commensurate with this low-mileage, having seemingly never been apart/restored - the panel gap, the interior/carpets, the floor-pan stampings, the fit and finish – are all factory-original – a real ‘time-machine’ transporting back to 1960s London and the ‘birth’ of one of our beloved and most endearing British characters, and favourite of the late Queen Elizabeth ll. The car is said to drive and run well, testimony to its regular services, having been always garaged, Ziebarted when new and further undersealed in 2000.Classic cars of this era often benefit hugely from such a length of single-ownership, and are special because of it, often in unrepeatable condition, having been lavished with much care and love due to such a strong association. With amazing provenance, originality, verifiable mileage, and a direct link back to the heart of Swinging ‘60s London, plus having the original Paddington Bear and his creator onboard, this really is a special Mini, and manages to epitomise the creative and quirky British character all in one place.This Mini is accompanied by an original Paddington Bear famously made by Jeremy Clarkson’s mother, Shirley Clarkson.SpecificationMake: AUSTINModel: MINI COOPER MK2Year: 1968Chassis Number: CA2SB1155397ARegistration Number: PYW 496FTransmission: Manual Engine Number: 9FD-SA-H 34515 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 21050 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

A genuine, one owner from new, manual gearbox, 996 Carrera 4 with just over 31,000 miles, a rare opportunity.The 996 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 model manufactured and sold between 1998 and 2005. On its debut, the 996 featured the most significant changes to the Carrera model since its 1963 introduction, namely the water-cooled engine replacing the previously air-cooled unit. Progressively stringent noise regulations, environmental concerns, a higher expectation for refinement and a high-performance, four-valve per cylinder engine made the switch desirable. Other changes included a sleeker body with a more steeply raked windscreen and a redesigned interior. The performance characteristics remained superb with reliability at its core.Offered here, fresh to the market from one private owner, is a 2002 Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 4 with manual transmission and four-wheel drive. Our vendor ordered the 911 finished in beautiful Lapis Blue Metallic over a Graphite Grey leather interior with matching carpets and options also ticked included a sun roof, air-conditioning, electric sports seats and ‘Turbo Look’ alloy wheels. Since taking delivery of the Porsche in March 2002 from Porsche West London (copy of the original purchase invoice in the file), the car has always been correctly dry stored and serviced regularly by the supplying dealer with the most recent service and MOT in February 2023, with an invoice for £1,500. The current indicated mileage is 31,095.This 2002 ‘face-lift’ C4 features some updates to the earlier cars including the 3.6-litre engine with variable valve timing and the ‘teardrop’ headlamps from the Turbo. Being the very first from the water-cooled Porsche era, the 996 is fast becoming collectable with a strong enthusiast following and examples with low ownership and relatively low miles rarely come to market.

Prepared for sale with a £9,000 overhaul, this well presented MkVII is in great mechanical and cosmetic condition and ready for more long-distance touring.Launched at the Earls Court motor show in October 1950, the MkVII was a fabulous offering from Jaguar which swiftly gained praise and admiration due to its unusual combination of luxurious interiors, smooth and powerful engines, impressive handling and even more impressive practicality. The MkVII was a real thorn in the side of Jaguar’s main rival Bentley as the MkVII was a great balance of elegance and power, and was priced at just 40% of its Bentley MkVI counterpart which made it a hit in both the home market and target export market of the USA. Additionally, despite their size, they were competitive competition cars in period both with rallying and circuit racing, as they still can be to this day!This 1954 example is simply wonderful both mechanically and cosmetically. Running and driving exceptionally well following a recent £9,000 overhaul with Richard Colburn of Westbourne Motors, this car presents as well as it drives in the timeless colour combination of black over tan leather interior. Under its previous ownership, the car underwent an extensive restoration, leaving it in excellent condition. In 2000, it represented the Mk 7 to 10 Register in the Jaguar Drivers Club Champion of Champions Concours at the NEC.The bodywork, expertly repaired by Leaping Cat at Hinckley, looks stunning in its black coat and the interior, adorned with tan leather and brown carpets, exudes luxury. The sliding sunroof is always welcome and the exceptional interior woodwork adds a touch of refinement to the whole experience. As we all know far too well with restorations, the devil is in the detail, and we’re pleased to report that everything from the headlining to the door trims has been meticulously attended to.It's fitted with a manual gearbox and overdrive, making it more enjoyable and engaging to drive and the wafting ride is rather guaranteed as the suspension, steering, and brakes have all been sympathetically rebuilt. The engine benefits from a conversion to unleaded valves and seats, along with high lift camshafts for extra performance. Helping the car sing is a full stainless steel exhaust system and it has been substantially rewired.Purchased by the current owner in 2004, this venerable Jaguar has been cherished and used on family high days and holidays. In preparation for sale, it underwent an extensive overhaul by Richard Colburn of Westbourne Motors, with around £9,000 invested to bring it to its present impeccable condition with bills on file. It's supplied with its original tools.With its rich history, impressive restoration, and elegant features, this MkVII undeniably represents the epitome of 1950s sporting saloons.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: MK7Year: 1954Chassis Number: 722748DNRegistration Number: DDX 186Transmission: ManualEngine Number: D15168Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 2 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Brown LeatherClick here for more details and images

A beautiful, manual gearbox, European-specification 280SL 'Pagoda', attractively presented in dark green with a black hood, factory hardtop and cream leather.Offered here at the Silverstone Festival 2023 is a beautiful Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda, supplied new to Europe in left-hand drive as a two-seater with hardtop and manual gearbox. It is finished in timeless, stylish colours with non-metallic Dark Green paintwork (289), a cream leather interior and a black hood. The factory hardtop remains with the car and is finished in matching body colour.Our vendor purchased the car almost 12-years ago from a gentleman who's Collection included a 300SL Roadster and DB5 convertible. The SL was used mostly at another residence in Portugal, and old pictures within the history file show the 280SL enjoying the fine Portuguese weather wearing the private number DJT 2.Accompanying the SL is a large history file with a wealth of paperwork and many invoices for maintenance over the years. Most recently, the engine was rebuilt in 2017, along with the steering components including the box, and prior to that it was fully painted and retrimmed with new wood which still presents very nicely. Within the file is a copy of the original MB data-card which confirms the engine is the original unit, or matching numbers as some might say.The Pagoda is described as performing very well with a surprisingly powerful engine that creates a glorious sound. Coupled to the manual gearbox, this example is a little more engaging to drive than the more common automatics, and feels a little more like a sports car.There is no better all-round classic to own than one of these delightfully attractive 1960s Pagodas, very easy on the eye, powerful with sharp handling, superb Mercedes-Benz build quality and a useful hardtop to be deployed in the chilly winter months. It’s a classic sports car that continues to remain popular and, with fully restored examples now being listed at specialist dealers at over £200,000, this delightful example seems excellent value at our realistic guide price.SpecificationMake: MERCEDES-BENZModel: 280SL PAGODAYear: 1969Chassis Number: 11304410010864Registration Number: CHJ 110GTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 61750 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: CreamClick here for more details and images

One of just five produced by Lister in 1990, featuring an outrageous 600+bhp, twin-supercharged 7-Litre V12 with a manual gearbox, squeezed into gloriously-sculpted XJ-S bodywork.Lister is one of the most renowned names in sports car racing history with the Lister-Jaguar, designed by Brian Lister, having swept all before it during its first full racing season in 1957 and, in more recent years, cars bearing the Lister name have been a major force in GT racing worldwide. From the early 1980s, the name has also graced some of the World's fastest road cars, after an agreement first with BLE Automotive and then WP Automotive saw highly modified XJ-S models marketed as Lister-Jaguars.The famous Lister Jaguar connection made its commercial reappearance in 1986 when approximately 90 uprated Jaguar XJSs were produced, the emphasis being very much on 'supercar' performance. For those who felt the standard V12 Jaguar engine a bit insipid, Lister added a comprehensive tuning package with updates including four additional injectors and advanced throttle bodies. The engine management system was tweaked, the heads gas-flowed with larger valves fitted and, to handle the extra power, the crankshaft was nitrided, with performance Cosworth con-rods coupled to specially forged pistons. New bearings and a modified oil system were also deemed necessary in order to reliably deliver the 604bhp that it could now produce. Clearly the suspension and braking were going to need some attention, and this they duly got. The car was made to look the part too with a full body kit and a superb Lister Recaro leather interior.This Lister Jaguar is the first of only five manufactured in 1990 using a brand new XJ-S Convertible as the basis. The car is powered by a Lister-converted 7-litre V12 engine, equipped with twin superchargers. Its 604bhp is transmitted through an uprated clutch and a 5-speed manual gearbox to the huge alloys, all kept in balance by uprated sports suspension with enlarged brakes in charge of retardation. The stunning 'Le Mans' bodywork made no attempt at subtlety, absolutely 'Wolf in Wolf's Clothing' but then, this was 1990. Almost certainly the most powerful British passenger car at the time of its construction, the Lister cost a staggering £167,000 when new, getting on for five-times the price of the donor XJ-S!This ultra-rare piece of automotive extravagance presents beautifully in a glorious shade of metallic Midnight Blue, with a superb cream connolly-hide interior, piped in blue with Lister Recaro sports seats and a '200mph' speedometer that currently indicates just under 26,000 miles. The car is accompanied by a large history file, including invoices for maintenance with recent specialist attention, to keep the Lister performing at its best. Also within the file is the old-style logbook, service booklet, DVLA owners list, sundry invoices, old MOT Certificates, its V5C and a current MOT valid until May 2024.This splendid motor car is evocative of a point in time when excitement and excess blended to create some quite outrageous machinery. An era when fun featured at the forefront of the design brief, unlikely ever to be repeated in this modern world of economy and carbon footprints. This Lister XJ-S has featured in many automotive publications and is bound to spark interest at any event it attends, a superb piece of social history to thoroughly enjoy, time for fun.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XJ-SYear: 1990Chassis Number: SAJJNAEW3BB172125Registration Number: H969 GGMTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 26000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: CreamClick here for more details and images

**This was the Press Car in 1990 before being taxed or registered. Performance Car magazine in 1991 featured this car as car of the year. This car has had a cambelt service less than 500 miles ago** A really well presented, very early, UK 20-valve with a bit of TV and magazine celebrity in 1991. The Audi Quattro may not have been the first four-wheel drive production car (that honour belongs to the 1966 Jensen Interceptor FF), but its place in history is assured. Thanks in no small part to its enormous rallying success, the Quattro popularized all-wheel drive, and is now regarded as one of the most influential and important sports cars of the 1980s. The brainchild of Jorg Bensinger, an Audi chassis engineer, development work was started in 1977 and, three-years later the finished product was released. Although the floor pan had much in common with the Audi 80 and the running gear was largely taken from an Audi 200, the Quattro used a manual centre differential lock (operated by levers next to the handbrake) to govern the 197bhp and 210lb/ft power outputs delivered by the 2.1-litre in-line five-cylinder turbocharged engine. By the time this particular car arrived in 1990, the crude cable-operated 50:50 split differential had been replaced with a much more advanced Torsen (torque sensing) diff and the engine had been uprated with double overhead camshafts and a larger 2,226cc capacity, upping power to 217bhp.Finished in Pearl White with a grey half leather and cloth interior, H945 TNV was first registered on 1st August 1990 and is believed to be one of the first, if not the first, 20-valve cars to be registered in the UK. It's been enjoyed by five keepers in total, the last being a private Collector who has cherished and cossetted this Quattro for the last few years. Whether or not it's the first UK-20 valve car has not been established yet, but it does have some celebrity status as this particular car appeared on television and was magazine featured by Jeremy Clarkson in Performance Car, January 1991.The car has just recently had a total going-over by Pete Berry of White Cottage Quattros in Horsham and is good to go. It's accompanied by its original book pack, including the Owners Manual, two stamped service books and a copy of the magazine feature. Described by our vendor as 'extremely nice and a joy to drive', with such provenance this highly sought after 20V Quattro would enhance any collection and be a great talking point at local shows and events.SpecificationMake: AUDIModel: QUATTRO 20VYear: 1990Chassis Number: WAUZZZ85ZLA000662Registration Number: H945 TNVTransmission: ManualEngine Number: RR001525Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 85300 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey leather / clothClick here for more details and images

First of the UK-supplied right-hand drive 800bhp Super Snakes built by Bill Shepherd and one of four remaining.800bhp in an American muscle car is not a great idea, especially if that car is being driven on UK-roads, however if you’re going to almost double the power output of an already powerful Mustang, it’s best if the work is carried out by someone who knows what they’re doing. Someone like Shelby American.Carroll Shelby created his first fettled Mustang, the GT350, in 1965, and since then, numerous high-performance variants have borne his name. Following his death in 2012, the firm he founded has continued to build cars and develop new models worthy of that name. The scale of the business has grown significantly in recent years thanks to Shelby’s reputation as the company to tune V8 Fords and now there are franchises across the world.The only official home for Shelby Mustangs in the UK, and one of only three in Europe, is Bill Shepherd Mustang. Thanks to Shepherd’s background in racing old Fords, Cobras and Mustangs, he got to know Carroll Shelby personally and his Surrey-based concern was chosen as the US firm’s UK-representative. In the past few years they have developed a thriving business converting brand-new Mustangs into a 'Shelby', complete with a Shelby VIN and an entry in the Shelby American World Registry.Offered here at the Silverstone Festival is this rare 2016 Shelby Super Snake built under licence by Bill Shepherd and one of only four that remain. It’s a UK-supplied right-hand drive car and was displayed on the Michelin stand at Goodwood in 2016. The Super Snake package transforms the already capable Mustang with an aluminium body and an incredible 800bhp that's fed through a 6-speed manual gearbox with a Shelby short-shift. Other features include a performance exhaust, uprated traction control, bigger brakes, 20" Super Snake wheels, carbon fibre additions and a unique Shelby stripe with badging.LY16 HKD is finished in Oxford White with a black stripe over a black leather interior and presents in super condition inside and out. Its high-specification includes unique Caroll Shelby badging, centre console switches for normal/sport+/race track/snow/wet, steering feel normal/sport/comfort, central information screen, electric windows, electric folding mirrors, climate control, heated front seats and SatNav.It's accompanied by a comprehensive history file including the original book packs including the service records which confirm periodic maintenance with the most recent in 2022 including brake pads front and rear. This maintenance, along with the MOT history, supports the current indicated mileage of just over 14,000. Another important feature includes a modern tracker and security system that will minimise the risk of the car disappearing unexpectedly.Do you really need 800bhp through the rear wheels on a wet Sunday in Wales? Probably not.

Now rightly considered one of the greatest performance Fords ever, this best-of-breed example has covered just under 16,000 miles and was previously owned by the Chairman of the Owner’s Club.  In 2002, Ford launched the Focus RS, returning those famous letters to one of its cars for the first time since the Ford Escort RS Cosworth. The new Focus RS was inspired by Colin McRae's WRC rally exploits and featured a 2-litre Duratec RS engine with an advanced turbocharging system and oil-spray cooled pistons to achieve more power - which eventually peaked at 215bhp and 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds. The chassis was developed and a Quaife torque-biasing differential (when you turned into a corner and applied the power, it dug in like no other front-drive car to make the Focus superlatively quick across country) fitted to ensure optimal front-wheel drive tractability. Suspension was by uprated offset coil springs with Sachs Racing dampers whilst stopping power was provided by Brembo brakes. The cabin was competition-inspired and featured leather and Alcantara Sparco seats. The exterior of the car took a number of styling cues from the WRC rally car and even used custom 18'' O.Z. Racing alloy wheels as a nod to its competition cousin.Making the Focus RS this good on back roads meant changing almost every component; in the end, the roof, doors and bonnet remained the same as any other three-door Focus, but the rest of the exterior bodywork was new. In all, 521 parts were created just for the Focus RS, from the Sparco seats and handbrake lever, unique dials, and starter button to the suspension and brakes.Ford built 4,501 Focus RS Mk1s, all individually numbered and all thought to have been sold at a £4,000 loss to the company. Out of that total, 2,147 RS Mk1s were sold in the UK, making it by far the biggest single market for the car that was only sold in Imperial Blue. Today, the Focus RS Mk1 maybe still splits drivers’ views, but what isn’t in doubt is this is now a prized modern classic.The car presented here is a 2003 Focus RS Mk1 which is superbly-presented and original, has covered just under 16,000 miles and has a reassuringly thorough Ford main dealer maintenance history. Interestingly, it was featured in the ‘Essential Buyer’s Guide’  for the Mk1 Focus RS and ST170 and was previously owned by the head of the Mk1 Focus RS Owner’s Club. It is accompanied by the original owner’s book-pack, original Sales Invoice and documentation, MOT certificates, servicing invoices and two keys with alarm fobs.The car was last serviced in August 2021 at 15,946 miles by Ford main dealer Coopers of Oulton, who changed the engine oil and filter. Prior to this, Sandicliffe Ford Store performed oil changes in August 2020 at 15,635 miles, and in July 2019 at 15,519 miles.

Meticulously maintained and superbly-presented in Argento over Tan, this lovely 456 offers a rare package of luxury GT motoring with that glorious V12 and the desirable 6-speed manual gearbox.The 456's looks are elegant and understated, with distinctive external features including a small grille with fog lights on the outside, bonnet-mounted air scoops, a motorised undercarriage spoiler that begins its deployment above 65mph, and pop-up headlamps. By today’s standards, the 456 can be viewed as the last Ferrari to offer uncompromising styling and luxury interior comfort. The model was well-received by press and enthusiasts alike and, although not produced in large numbers, was always gently in demand by sophisticated Ferrari owners before it was eventually replaced in 2004 by the 612 Scaglietti. Data indicates that 1,548 456 GTs were manufactured with as few as 141 manual gearbox cars delivered in right-hand drive.The name '456' refers to the fact that each cylinder displaces 456cm³, and this was the last Ferrari to use this naming convention. Despite its supercar performance, 436bhp, 0-60mph in 5.2 secs, and a top speed of 188mph, the 456 has a relatively unstressed engine which has proven, over time, to be an extremely reliable unit. Developed during the Schumacher era, the 456's construction was ground-breaking featuring composite and aluminium bodywork, cutting-edge body to chassis mating technology, along with four-wheel electronically adjustable suspension, resulting in a super lightweight 1,690kg. The Ferrari 456 had no direct rival, as it does today, the antiquated Aston Martin V8 was too bloated and the Porsche 911 was simply not exclusive enough for some.Offered here is a right-hand drive 456 GT delivered new to Hong Kong and specified in Argento Silver with a classic Tan leather interior and a manual gearbox. Manufactured in 1995 prior to being supplied in 1996, this 456 GT was meticulously maintained during its time in Hong Kong by Ferrari agents Italian Motors HK and Auto Italia HK with periodic recorded maintenance. Imported into the UK in 2015 and correctly-registered, this well-preserved example was selected to join a well-known collection of V12 Ferraris. Peter Holloway’s Collection of front engined V12, manual gearbox Ferraris featured in The Official Ferrari Magazine where his appreciation for the 456 was noted due to its 'wolf-in-sheep's-clothing' nature, presenting as a four-seat gentlemen’s carriage yet capable of over 190mph.Presented for auction in outstanding condition, F12 MPG is accompanied by a comprehensive history file with every invoice and receipt from new. The odometer currently indicates just 47,623km which equates to just under 30,000 miles. The Argento paintwork is pin-sharp, the interior presents like new and we understand that this modern classic Ferrari performs just as well as it looks.With very low-production numbers, we rarely see a manual 456 GT, especially with such a lovely specification and in such good order. We welcome any inspection of this very desirable Ferrari which is offered on a very sensible guide and is now ready to join another collection of landmark Grand Tourers.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 456 GTYear: 1997Chassis Number: ZFFSP44C000103273Registration Number: F12 MPGTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 47623 KMMake: RHDInterior Colour: TanClick here for more details and images

One of the incredibly rare factory 350bhp examples, one owner from new and only 6,180 miles. Possibly the ultimate RS200.The RS200 was born in the era of 'Group B' rallying, undeniably the most extreme period in rally history with all competing manufacturers turning every dial up to 11. The power was immense, the courses dangerous and, no matter how high the level of a driver's skill, it was always outmatched by the sheer bravery required to pilot these machines at full chat. Whilst Ford’s competitors developed their rally cars from suitable models in their road car range, Lancia with their S4 Integrale, Audi with the S1 Quattro and Peugeot with their T16 205, Ford took a more extreme route, building a competitive rally car and then using it as the basis for a well-engineered, road-legal version, purely to tick the homologation boxes.Produced by Ford Motorsport in Boreham from 1984-1986, the plastic-fiberglass composite body was designed Filippo Sapino of Ghia Design Studio and enclosed a mid-mounted engine, four-wheel drive, and a front-mounted gearbox for ideal 50/50 weight distribution. The chassis was designed by Formula 1 designer, Tony Southgate, in conjunction with F1 engineer, John Wheeler, so the car had real potential for greatness.Motivation was provided by an 1,803cc Ford-Cosworth BDT engine fitted with a Garett T03/04 turbocharger which produced 250bhp in standard road-going trim although, as production progressed, more power became available. At the time, 'Group B' regulations required manufacturers to assemble 200 road-going versions of their race-bred competition cars, however, with the passing of time it's become clear that Ford did not manage to sell 200, with Justin Smith, the Ford RS200 authority, believing as few as 147 were actually sold.Towards the end of the program, a 350bhp version was offered, and our car is identified as one of these incredibly rare 'Group B' evolutions, with the adjustable boost rotating control behind the left-hand seat and, when combined with the fact that it's one-owner from new, showing 6,180 miles, in delightful original condition and with an impeccable history file, it must surely be the ultimate RS200. #112 was supplied new by Stormont of Tunbridge Wells, having been ordered by its excited owner after he had visited Boreham to see the RS200 road program on 12th August 1986 as a VIP. We believe this RS200 to be one of the best of the 147 supplied in full road-trim by Ford.Uniquely, it comes with a copy of the original RS200 Customer Sales Record, showing it to be one of the very rare 350bhp factory upgrade examples. It still displays its original JQF Engineering sticker on the cam cover showing build number 158. The iconic red seats and steering wheel complete an incredibly sharp interior without the secondary red gear knob, which means its locked in 37/63 4x4 mode, although the mechanics below the gaiter are the same for all models. It's still running on its original Pirelli tyres, complementing its superb original condition. The suspension struts have been refurbished in the past and, in 2017, it was subject to a cam-belt change and a full service including a new Gold-Flo fuel pump. Despite having not covered any miles since, it was treated to another service recently by Graham Hathaway Racing.#112 is supplied with a massive RS200 workshop manual, two keys - one with the Stormont key fob, complete Ford-embossed tool kit, its Ford Security Pack, custom car cover and plumbed-in battery charger. The history file contains all the documentation necessary to corroborate the fascinating story of RS200 #112. This is a collector-quality RS200, with the 350bhp factory upgrade and in incredibly original condition.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: RS200Year: 1987Chassis Number: SFACXXBJ2CGL00112Registration Number: E380 UKNTransmission: ManualEngine Number: GL00112 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 6180 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

A stunning 280SL Pagoda fresh to market for the first time in almost 40-years. Cherished since the mid 1980s and imported from Paris to London by fashion model and renowned children’s clothes designer Rachel Riley.Offered here at the Silverstone Festival 2023 is a beautiful Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda that has been cherished since it was purchased from a specialist Mercedes-Benz dealer in Paris almost 40-years ago. Rachel Riley, at the time, was a fashion model and, sometime after falling hopelessly in love with a young Parisian photographer, they decided to purchase a smart 280SL to enjoy one of Europe’s most romantic cities together. When the couple re located to London, the Pagoda naturally came with them and since then has been meticulously maintained by the same specialist workshop.Finished to European-specification in left-hand drive, this beautiful, manual gearbox 280SL is presented in arguably the most ‘en vogue’ colour combination of silver metallic with a burgundy leather interior with matching carpets and a black hood. The SL retains many carefully-preserved features including the indentations on the front wings that are, more often than not, lost in careless body restorations. It starts on-the-button and is described as performing very well thanks to regular attention from the dedicated local specialists who have been entrusted with its maintenance since it arrived here.It’s accompanied by its body-coloured, factory hard top and supplied with a history file which contains old French paperwork, the current V5C and UK-registration paperwork ready for transfer or export, and a wealth of invoices outlining its fastidious maintenance from its long-term specialists.Nowadays, Rachel Riley is a globally renowned, award-winning children’s fashion designer who finds herself spending more time in her beautiful garden than behind the wheel of the Pagoda, and consequently the time has come to find her beloved SL a new home. This is a great opportunity to take ownership of this delightful classic Mercedes-Benz.SpecificationMake: MERCEDES-BENZModel: 280SL PAGODAYear: 1969Chassis Number: 10013533Registration Number: FYY 470HTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 83424 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: Burgundy Click here for more details and images

The formidable 993 Turbo, here as a C16/UK example with the X50 pack, just 46,000 miles, 17-years current ownership and in a fabulous colour.Intended for drivers who demanded top performance, the 993 Turbo was first launched to the world in September 1985, where in Germany it was voted Sports Car of the Year by Auto Motor and Sport magazine. A sensation when it was launched, the 993-series Turbo was based on the Carrera 4; it was very clear that the 911 Turbo was conceived and built by motorsport enthusiasts.Three developments contributed to its tremendous performance; the engine had low inertia turbos, the transmission had six close-ratio speeds, and of course it came with four-wheel drive. At least 5% of the engine’s power is permanently applied to the front axle and the ratio will increase to 40% under extreme driving conditions. Combined with bigger brakes, fatter tires, a wide body and lower stance, the 993 Turbo was one of the fastest cars on the planet. With all four wheels helping to evenly distribute great handfuls of power, 0-60mph was dispatched in a staggering 3.7 seconds, 100mph whistled by in a further 5.7 seconds, and the linear forward thrust continued until the speedometer needle had said goodbye to 180mph and you were on conversational terms with the horizon.The addition of the X50 power-pack with the use of larger K24 turbos and intercoolers, a revised ECU, and a freer-flowing twin-pipe exhaust, meant that the maximum output rose to 430bhp. The X50 power upgrade measurably improves the 993 Turbo, and the car is far better at being civilised and coping with everyday driving conditions than its competitors.The car presented here is a 1997 Porsche 911 (993) Turbo Coupe, a UK-market/C16 example, manufactured on 16th June 1997, and supplied with the factory-fit X50 upgrade. On top of all the standard Porsche options, this car was further highly-specified - X79: Turbo S side air vents of rear wings, 373/374: sports-seats, X45: instrument dials in interior colour, 408: 18-inch Techno-Rad wheels, showcasing yellow brake calipers (XRF) and X54: oval stainless steel tailpipes, plus numerous interior carbon/aluminium accents.Believed to be commissioned through Porsche’s 'Exclusive' Manufaktur department, this 911 Turbo also comes with genuine Porsche front and rear GT spoilers, typically found on the 911 Carrera RS and GT2 models, which we believe were professionally installed by the delivering Porsche dealership.In distinctive – and ‘oh so Porsche’ of the 1990s - Pastel Yellow paintwork, this special car has covered just over 46,000 miles with its two previous owners. Its third owner, our vendor, has lovingly been its custodian since 2006. He has only used the car sparingly, having it professionally stored when not in use, and has ensured it's accompanied by a large history file of paperwork showing diligent upkeep and servicing.This superbly-presented and very well equipped X50 993 Turbo is a wonderful example of the last of the classic, air-cooled 911s, and would reward any inspection.  SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 993 TURBO X50Year: 1997Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99ZVS371004Registration Number: R43 CJWTransmission: Manual Engine Number: 61V02394 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 45000 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Superbly-presented in classic Ferrari colours, with just over 20,000 miles, supported by an impeccable service history.Firmly placed in Ferrari's history as one of their finest modern-era big GTs, the 550 Maranello's combination of elegant lines and legendary front-mounted 12-cylinder engine meant that these cars had the potential to become instant classics. Following in the footsteps and sharing the DNA of the 365 GTB/4 'Daytona', the 550 M is inevitability compared to its forbear. Few front-engined Ferraris have quite justified that comparison quite like the 550 Maranello.Styled by Pininfarina, like its illustrious predecessor, the 550 was similarly proportioned, adopting the classical combination of long bonnet, a small cabin and a truncated tail. Classic Ferrari styling cues include a bonnet air scoop and hot air outlets behind the front wheel-arches recalling the great Competizione Ferraris of the past, whilst the rear incorporates Ferrari's characteristic twin circular lights.The heart of any Ferrari is its engine, and the 550 Maranello's 48-valve, 5.5-litre V12 develops 485bhp at 7,000rpm. The powertrain is housed in a tubular steel chassis, to which is attached aluminium coachwork, whilst the all-independent suspension incorporated dual-mode (normal/sports) damping, switch-selectable by the driver, which is complemented by speed-sensitive power-assisted steering.The 6-speed manual gearbox complements a slightly more even torque curve, ensuring that the power delivery was a little less frenetic, whilst excellent weight distribution and delightful road manners make the 550 Maranello a truly refined driving machine, still capable of almost 200mph. With styling that is ageing particularly well, a high-quality cabin, generous storage and an enormous 100-litre-plus fuel tank, these cars really are the consummate 'European Grand Tourer' in the true Ferrari mould.This superb example is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 6-speed manual gearbox car first registered on 1st June 2000. It's finished in Rosso Corsa with Tan leather upholstery and Bordeaux carpets, and was factory-fitted from new with yellow metal wing shields and a sports exhaust. It has a full service history from new, all documented with over 18 services, with the most recent by Carrs of Exeter on 25th October 2022. The current indicated mileage of 20,083 is supported by an MOT history from new and the car will have a fresh MOT prior to the sale.The car presents superbly, the Rosso paintwork displays a deep and even shine and the interior appears virtually unmarked with no evidence of the sticking switchgear for which the model is occasionally known. It's supplied with a full book pack and a bespoke indoor coverWith styling that is ageing particularly well, a high-quality cabin, generous storage, and an enormous 100-litre-plus fuel tank, the 550 Maranello really is the consummate 'European Grand Tourer' in the true Ferrari mould.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 550 MARANELLOYear: 2000Chassis Number: ZFFZR49C000118300Registration Number: W12 FTDTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 55804 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 20350 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

With six wins out of six, Colin McRae and Derek Ringer won the 1992 RACMSA British Rally Championship in J314 PWL. Accurately returned to its period best by the McRae family and offered directly from them. A once in a lifetime opportunity.The remarkable career of Colin McRae MBE has filled volumes and is too long to list here, but it did include becoming Scottish Schoolboy Motocross Champion at 13, the Scottish Rally Championship in 1988, winning the 1991 and 1992 British Rally Championship and, in 1995 he became the first British driver and the youngest person to win the World Rally Championship Drivers title, a record which stood for 27 years. Success continued with a total of 25 wins in the WRC, a third place at Le Mans in the GTS Class, a win in the Baja 500 Portalegre, stage wins on the Dakar and many other rallies worldwide.Despite the passage of time, Colin McRae is still one of the biggest names in the world of rallying certainly the most recognised. Colin was an iconic figure at the time. 'Everybody took a step back when they heard Colin driving. He was just using the road as a rough guide. His style and approach were something to watch. At one time he held the record for the most rally victories. His ‘never say die’ attitude, always flat out, it really sat with people and endeared him to them'.But people often forget that he was a mechanic, too. He worked well with engineers and understood how to set a car up and its mechanical limitations. He is frequently discussed in terms of his wild, aggressive style, but if you watched him drive on tarmac at Le Mans or ASCAR at Rockingham, he was really quite smooth. He won two Safari rallies, which takes a lot of mechanical empathy and an intelligent approach as to just how much you can get away with.Here at Silverstone Auctions, we feel truly privileged to have been entrusted by the McRae family with the sale of three of Colin’s favourite cars. They are significant cars in the history of rallying and will be available to view prior to our auction on Friday, August 25th.In 1991, Colin turned professional and was signed by Prodrive principal, David Richards CBE, to join his Subaru team in the British Rally Championship. 1991 was to prove a bit of a learning curve, but a combination of his youthful exuberance and exceptional talent enabled him to add his name to the title his father had won five times in this, his first full season as a Works driver.For the 1992 British Rally Championship, a fresh Legacy RS, J314 PWL, was built by the factory Prodrive team to full International ‘Group A’ regulations with a Works 2-litre turbo boxer engine (with charge cooler) developing some 350bhp fed through a 6-speed Prodrive manual dog gearbox and the Prodrive four-wheel drive system, once again generously supported by Rothmans and endowed with that iconic blue and white Rothmans livery, known to motorsport enthusiasts the world over.The 1992 RACMSA British Rally Championship was the 35th year of the British domestic championship and Colin and Derek Ringer in J314 PWL dominated the whole season with wins at the Vauxhall Sport International, the Pirelli International, the Perth International, the Elbow Ulster, the Manx in September and finally the Elonex International in late October. The Elonex was a particularly tough event running through the night and despite the fact that they were assured of the Championship even if they finished second, Colin was determined to win and complete a set of six. Starting the final stage at Weston Park, one second down on Tommi Makinen in the Nissan, he managed to take three seconds out of him in just under 2.5km. Having won all six rallies in J314 PWL, Colin was the first-ever driver to achieve a clean sweep of wins.This legendary rally car was restored around 15-years ago and has had very little use since. In terms of the restoration, the emphasis was on recreating the car as it looked during the all-conquering 1992 season and this was achieved with incredible attention to detail. The car is simply breathtaking in its presentation and is finished, of course, in its evocative original Rothmans livery. It’s fully complete and runs well but is not event-prepared and the safety equipment, seats and belts etc. are no longer current. The car has been looked over and checked by Ian Gwynne of BGM Sport in Brackley and is being stored by him until our sale at the Silverstone Classic on the 26th/27th of August. He is a friend of the McRae family and seriously interested parties are welcome to speak directly to Ian and view the car prior to the sale if they wish.This is very special, Colin’s 1992 British Championship-winning car and a personal favourite being offered to market for the first time directly from the McRae family, a unique opportunity.SpecificationMake: SUBARUModel: LEGACY RSYear: 1992Chassis Number: BC5-026713Registration Number: J314 PWLTransmission: ManualEngine Number: EJ2092PD02Drive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDClick here for more details and images

**Please note the bonnet cable has stretched and will need to be replaced/repaired by the new owner.** A wonderfully-restored Fiat 500F Nuova on offer at No Reserve. The austerity of the basic 500, was known as the 'Economica', was not well received initially, prompting the swift introduction of a revised and better-equipped model which first appeared towards the end of 1957 at the Turin Show. Refinements incorporated in this less spartan version included wind-down windows, an upholstered rear seat, column-mounted switch-gear stalks and hubcaps. Introduced in 1960, the succeeding 500D used the 499.5cc engine of the 500 Sport in de-tuned form whilst, in 1965, that was superseded by the 500F. The latter's altered bodywork incorporating front-hinged doors and a shortened sunroof, whilst mechanical improvements included a strengthened transmission. Maximum power increased to 22bhp and the top speed to within a whisker of 60mph. An immense success for FIAT, almost 3,000,000 of these adorable little cars had been sold when production ceased in 1975.On offer here is a delightful Fiat 500F, finished in Aquamarine with a period-correct, red and cream interior. WGU 476F was purchased in 2017 after having had the bodywork refreshed but still in need of a little TLC to bring it up to the next level. With that in mind, a schedule of works was embarked upon which included a full mechanical overhaul, including the sensible decision to fit an all-synchromesh gearbox together with a full suspension strip and rebuild with all components refreshed or renewed as required. With the focus on keeping as close to the factory-specification as possible, the interior was correctly retrimmed, including the ribbed rubber matting, alongside a new folding roof and even the tool kit received careful consideration, such has been the attention to detail.Accompanying this outstanding Fiat is a comprehensive history file including an original Italian handbook, a workshop manual and factory parts catalogue, various invoices and some rare factory advertising material. Delightfully presented and offering a much-improved driving experience, this is one Cinquecento that would be happy within any collection, or being used as intended, as a fun urban run-around.Acquired by our vendor around 12-months ago on a whim and little-used since, a change in circumstances and a lack of space means it returns to the market on offer at No Reserve, which may well make it the bargain of the day. SpecificationMake: FIATModel: 500FYear: 1968Chassis Number: 1868041Registration Number: WGU 476FTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 110F000 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 75355 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: RedClick here for more details and images

Total professional nut and bolt, chassis up restoration to the very highest of standards.Although instantly recognisable as a T-Series Midget thanks to its perpendicular radiator shell, flowing wings and rear-mounted spare wheel, the TD broke important new ground for the Abingdon marque. Although based on the existing Y-Type chassis, it was the first MG sports car to feature independent double-wishbone front suspension, and rack and pinion steering and the new model also boasted a hypoid-bevel back axle, a scuttle reinforcement hoop and twin leading-shoe front brakes.With a track of 50", it was around five inches wider than its predecessor, the TC, which always a little ‘cosy’. Powered by the proven 1,250cc XPAG engine allied to a 4-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg. Riding on 15" steel 'easy-clean' wheels as standard, the TD also sported a mirror-image dashboard (thus facilitating either LHD or RHD production) and chrome-plated bumpers. In July 1951 the 1,250cc XPAG engine received a new block, sump, bell-housing and flywheel in order to accommodate a larger clutch. The engine number prefix was changed to TD2, and MG TDs fitted with this engine have subsequently become known as TD2 models. A great success story, the vast majority of the 29,665 cars produced were sold overseas, mainly to the States.The simply delectable TD2 on offer here was one of those US-bound cars, and was imported from there by its present owner around ten-years ago, with a total rebuild in mind. The little MG was basically sound but a little tired, and was ripe for restoration, however other projects got in the way and it was a further six years before the restoration commenced. However all’s well that ends well as the TD has recently been completed after a total, professional nut and bolt, chassis-up restoration to the very highest of standards, and presents as possibly one of the very best on the road today.Finished in the rare factory colour of Autumn Red, the standard of finish is exceptional, even down to the door shuts and nooks and crannies. The interior is also a delight in beige leather with beige rexine on the dashboard, white-faced Jaeger instruments, Bakelite switches and a four-spoke Bluemels sprung wheel. The only minor difference from standard being the body-coloured grille slats, which should match the interior trim colour, but in reality appear as if designed that way. Nothing remains untouched, with engine, gearbox and final drive being rebuilt, a full rewire and total re-chrome alongside a new hood, side screens and a new tonneau cover that will require fitting.The attention to detail is textbook and even the underside is of show-quality. Whilst the MG remains left-hand drive, all mounts and fixing points remain in place to allow for easy conversion to right-hand drive should the next custodian wish to follow that path. With only minor shake-down runs undertaken so far, a period of running-in is highly recommended to extract the best from this stunning TD.Not to be confused with the average, this particular TD will be equally at home out on the open road or in the Concours arena. SpecificationMake: MGModel: TD 1250Year: 1952Chassis Number: XPAGTDLHX9332Registration Number: 842 YUWTransmission: ManualEngine Number: LHX9332Drive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: Beige HideClick here for more details and images

A simply unrepeatable Pagoda. Manual gearbox, genuine low mileage, three owners from new and 42-years with our vendor. Remarkable.  Throughout its lifetime, the W113 quietly underwent a transformation, transitioning from a spry and agile 'sports car' into an opulent and smooth 'grand tourer.' Typically, this elegant machine came adorned with a 4-speed automatic transmission, however there were some rare models that were specified with the coveted 4-speed manual gearbox, elevating the driving experience. Beyond its exceptional engineering, the 280SL's interior offered classic Mercedes quality including comfortable leather seats and wooden accents further reinforcing its status as a true premium roadster.The 1971 280SL Pagoda offered here is a very special motorcar, presenting in good condition in Dark Blue (332) over a grey leather interior with a matching dark blue hardtop with stand. It's a UK-delivered, right-hand drive, final year of production example with a 4-speed manual gearbox with three owners from new and offered directly from the final owner of those three who has looked after it for 42 years.The odometer currently read just over 75,000 miles, and there is every reason to believe that these are genuine. When initially purchased in 1981, the car had only covered 54,000 miles in the previous 10 years which is supported by a comprehensive collection of MOT Certificates from 1978 onwards, with every bill and invoice from the past four decades verifying the 21,000 miles covered during that period. It is evident that it has been lovingly cared for and sparingly driven throughout its life.It benefitted from new front wings and rear inner and outer wings in the 1990s primarily as preventative work and mechanical attention around the same time included an engine rebuild (piston rings, shells, camshaft and oil pump) as a precautionary measure in response to faint whispers of blue smoke whilst idling. This thoroughness and dedication to maintaining the vehicle's good condition have surely contributed to its lasting appeal.A treasure trove of documentation accompanies the car, chronicling its journey over the years. A full folder of bills and receipts showcases the extensive servicing, maintenance, oil change records, and MOTs dating back to the early days of ownership including the owners’ handbooks. Such a complete and well-preserved history is a rare find and adds substantial value to the vehicle.  Accompanying the car itself, is a spare set of Pagoda wheels, the matching hardtop and the all-important hardtop stand.This Pagoda is incredibly special in many ways, and cars with these wholesome stories are becoming so rare these days. It is more than just a beautiful car, it's a classic example of attentive ownership and meticulous upkeep. With its good condition, extraordinary 42-year ownership, and comprehensive documentation, it stands as a testament to the enduring allure of classic motorcars. SpecificationMake: MERCEDES-BENZModel: 280SL PAGODAYear: 1971Chassis Number: 11304420021918Registration Number: FIG 2778Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 13098320007716Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 75132 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey LeatherClick here for more details and images

Designed by Cedric Selzer, this pretty little, Lotus twin-cam powered sports racer was built to compete in the short-lived Formula F100 series.Designed by Cedric Selzer, Jim Clark's race engineer in 1963/64, who came up with a conventional spaceframe chassis clad with aluminium panels, the Nerus Silhouette was intended to run in the Formula F100 series. Announced in 1969, F100 was a short-lived attempt to do for sports car racing what Formula Ford had done for single-seaters and was conceived along similar lines to Formula Ford, lightly modified production engines and road tyres being mandatory. It was intended to replace the sometimes ill-supported sports-racing and GT events at club meetings, however, Formula F100 only lasted a couple of seasons.Believed to be one of five cars created, the example offered here is powered by a 2-litre Lotus-Ford twin-cam engine mated to a Hewland Mark 9 gearbox. Running twin 48mm Dellorto carburettors and dry-sump lubrication with fully adjustable suspension (magnesium uprights), the car is running and driving but following some years of inactivity will need careful recommissioning and the safety equipment updating. Raced by David Beckett, it ran in the Spa Six Hours in 2001. 1990 FIA papers and a rolling-road report from that year are also available. A fabulous opportunity to break into historic racing in a truly special car.SpecificationMake: NERUSModel: SPORTS-CARYear: 1968Chassis Number: TBARegistration Number: N/ATransmission: ManualMake: Interior Colour: Black vinylClick here for more details and images

A low-mileage, superb Phase 2 V6, presented in outstanding condition in a great colour. Highly collectable and becoming increasingly sought after for all the right reasons.Once dubbed 'The World's Smallest Supercar' by Evo Magazine, the Renaultsport Clio V6 255 remains a motoring oddity if ever there was one. Renault took a big, Laguna-derived, 3-litre V6 engine producing 255bhp and 221lb/ft torque, dropped it in the middle of the short Clio chassis, hooked up a rear-wheel drive system and mated it to a 6-speed manual transmission. If that wasn’t enough, it looks like they then injected styling steroids into the bodywork to give it that wide, aggressive stance and put it out to the world in 2001, with the Phase 2 being revealed as an even sharper variant in 2003.Early models had a reputation for spikiness on the limit, but the car became more refined with time and later, V6s managed to be both usable and better to drive than earlier models. Both guises (230 Phase 1 and 255 Phase 2) stand out on the road with levels of charm achieved by few other cars - and rising prices suggest the market didn’t take long to catch on to their value as drivers' cars. At the time of its release, the Phase 2 was the most powerful hot hatch ever made.Only 1,309 Clio V6 255 Phase 2s were manufactured for the global market, with 354 supplied to the to the UK. A rare car with very limited production numbers, now becoming increasingly sought after.This Phase 2 joined our vendor's Collection of landmark classic and sports cars in 2014 after being carefully sourced as a good, original example with a comprehensive service record. It has been correctly-maintained by both Renault main agents and marque specialists with the most recent attention, a major service completed in 2021, and very little use since. Currently indicating just 29,189 miles, the cherished registration number, V6 YCC, is included in the sale and the car has a current, clean MOT to July 2024. We are informed that it has always been correctly dry stored, performs as well as it looks and shows minimal wear, commensurate with the age and mileage.Born in an era when global manufacturers could sneak an interesting concept past the accountants and manufacture something totally outrageous, never to be repeated, as nowadays it's far more important to be seen to be 'green' and profit fits further up the agenda than fun. Therefore, the Clio V6 ticks all the boxes for a devoted enthusiast or collector with real drivability, low production numbers, a growing cult following and an evocative design. TV presenter and now vegetable grower, Jeremy Clarkson, has stated that the Clio V6 is in his 'Top Ten' of all cars so, if you suddenly run out of onions, hop in this Clio V6 - there is no quicker way to get to the farm shop before it closes.SpecificationMake: RENAULTModel: CLIO V6Year: 2003Chassis Number: VF1C61U0629498494Registration Number: V6 YCCTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 29189 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: CharcoalClick here for more details and images

One of just 200 examples, fabulously presented and perhaps the lowest-mileage CSK on the market.To mark the huge success and the 20th Anniversary of the model, Land Rover, in their September 1990 press release, hailed the Range Rover CSK as the 'Ultimate two-door Range Rover'. Named in honour of Charles Spencer King, the man who designed the original Range Rover, the CSK was intended primarily to publicise the new anti-roll suspension and was promoted as a sportier Range Rover with only 200 numbered examples produced. This special, UK-only, Range Rover featured a number of modifications improving both performance and passenger comfort, and was the fastest production Range Rover ever built at that time, with a chipped version of the 3.9-litre V8 engine developing 185bhp. The increase in performance is complemented by improved handling at high speeds, and Land Rover had introduced front and rear anti-roll bars and sports dampers to give a smoother, more comfortable ride on normal roads.Finished exclusively in Beluga Black with chrome bumpers, they featured silver pinstripe coach lines with discrete CSK logos positioned on both front wings and one on the lower tailgate. The interior is pure Range Rover with contrasting Sorrel leather trim and the American Walnut fascia, and door inserts are exclusive to this model. Priced at £28,995 for a manual, the automatic CSK was more expensive at £30,319.22. The CSK was an instant hit, aimed as it was at the emerging sportier Range Rover owner, and was perhaps the first of its kind, a retro-inspired new car. Whilst some CSKs were used on turf, the vast majority were viewed as comfortable motorway cruisers, as most Range Rovers are so used today, and the few CSKs that are seen in today’s market have over 100,000 miles on the odometer and are usually heavily restored. Seen as a comfortable luxury car without the ostentation of a Rolls or Bentley, a number of CSKs naturally found their way to the leafy residential roads of the better parts of 1990s London, as this fabulous car, No. 56, did when new. First registered to a Mr C Geoff-Saurau of Earls Court, South West London on 12th August 1991. Please note, that it was our vendor’s intention to service the CSK at his local Land Rover main dealer but was informed, bafflingly, that they no longer serviced Range Rovers built before 2007, and will therefore have the CSK serviced at a British Heritage specialist. The service book has the following record:Page 1 PDI at Ian Allan Motors Land Rover, Virginia Waters, SurreyPage 2 H.R.

A very impressive example of BMW's mid-1990s 380bhp V12 range-topper.The BMW 850CSI was the factory's flagship model in the mid-1990s and featured the silky smooth S70 V12 engine mated to a Getrag 6-speed manual transmission and was one of the first cars ever to offer drive-by-wire throttle control. Developed from the M70, the S70 increased the bore and stroke and utilised more aggressive valve timings, resulting in an increase in maximum power to an impressive 380bhp at 5,300rpm and torque to 402lb/ft at 4,000rpm. With the hydraulic control unit mounted on the differential, the 850 uses hydraulic rear steering linked to Servotronic front steering to give precise, high-speed stability and harness the S70's significant power output for a great driving experience.Although considered avant-garde when it first arrived, the pillarless coupé was blessed with classically proportioned, understated and essentially timeless styling that has not dated, and these beautiful and exclusive Gran Turismos still look modern today.This fabulous example was supplied new to its first owner on 5th January 1995 by BMW Green Bower Garages Ltd of Haverford West and was transferred within the same family before finally becoming the property of our vendor in 2017, and it immediately joined his private Collection. The car has only had three keepers in total (two from the same family) and has travelled just 49,500 miles from new which is supported by a history file and a stamped service book with various BMW stamps in it. It presents exceptionally well in Hellrot with a classic two tone grey leather interior which appears virtually unmarked. This particular car has never before been offered on the open market, making this a unique opportunity.These are rare cars with only 138 right-hand drive manual gearbox cars being allocated to the UK. It's supplied with its original book pack and a copy of BMW Magazine within which the car is featured. Rarely do these special cars come to market and one in this remarkable condition may well turn out to be one of your better investments.Please note that the Cherished Registration Number, 856 BMW, does not form part of the sale but may be available by separate negotiation. SpecificationMake: BMWModel: 850 CSIYear: 1995Chassis Number: WBSEG92030CC88139Registration Number: 856 BMWTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 60010891Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 49500 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Two Tone Grey leatherClick here for more details and images

Understood to be one of just 27 UK-supplied cars, matching numbers, a fabulous history file and presenting beautifully today.Introduced in September 1975 for the 1976 model year with production only running until 1977, the Porsche Carrera 3.0 is rightly regarded as somewhat of a special and rare model amongst the impact-bumper era, 911 model range. Following on after the MFI-engined Carrera 2.7, the 3.0 Carrera heralded the adoption of the newly developed Bosch K-Jetronic CIS fuel injection engine. This torque-rich, smooth and free-revving 3-litre engine, with a distinctive 'cam' effect from 4,000rpm, produced 200bhp and was effectively a naturally-aspirated version of the 930 Turbo's drivetrain, using the same die-cast aluminium crankcase and gearbox housing for durability.Having considerably more torque than the outgoing Carrera 2.7, the Carrera 3.0 was one of the earliest Porsches to return economical fuel consumption figures without any significant performance loss and acceleration times from 0-60 mph and 0-100 mph were almost identical to the original 2.7 RS and 2.7 Carrera. Performance was aided further by the relatively light weight of the 3.0 Carrera compared to its successors. During its short two-year life span, only 3,687 cars were built in total - a tiny amount compared to nearly 58,000 911 SCs and 76,500 3.2 Carreras produced. Worldwide production ran to 2,564 Coupés of which 1,123 were Targas. Only around 1,064 Coupés were manufactured in right-hand drive and it is understood that this car is one of just 27 Targas.According to the copy Bill of Sale on file, dated 26th July 1977, a William Findlay, Esq., of Stranraer, Scotland bought this car, chassis 9117610526, in the fabulously retro Platinum Metallic, a special order paint costing £259.00. The interior was specified as Cork Leatherette with beige pin-stripe velour to the seats, whilst the black Porsche lettering cost an additional £27.00, bringing the total price to a, not inconsiderable, £15,467.14. The accompanying Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirms the engine number as 6671537/930/02 whilst the 5-speed manual transmission is recorded as 7175674/915/61. Listed as optional equipment are impact absorbers, forged alloy rims, sport seats, chrome trim (instead of black), front and rear spoilers, Bilstein Shock Absorbers, the 5-speed gearbox and coloured windows.The original service book lists the name and addresses of two subsequent owners whilst the maintenance record show dates, stamps and mileages for the appropriate schedules. The detailed history file includes reams of period receipts, whilst the most recent invoices are a mix of specialist workshops and Porsche main dealers. It was bought by our vendor, a longstanding customer with an enviable car collection, on 27th September 2020 from long-term family ownership. The coachwork has been painted to a high standard and the interior remains remarkably original and still wonderfully 1970s. The MOT is valid until September 2023 and the V5C is present.Presented to auction with an odometer reading, at the time of cataloguing, of 74,029 miles, this car, as one of the rarest UK-market production Porsches, represents good value against the 930 Turbo and is the smart choice for those who respect history, rarity and condition.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911Year: 1977Chassis Number: 9117610526Registration Number: CDS 876STransmission: ManualEngine Number: 6671537 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 74029 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Cork LeatheretteClick here for more details and images

Very few cars in this price range come close to offering the levels of comfort, style, performance and reliability that come with this restored Mk IX.The Jaguar Mk IX is a large luxury saloon car produced by Jaguar Cars between 1959 and 1961. The bodywork was generally similar to its predecessor, but the sunshine roof became a standard fitting for the UK-market. An enlarged-bore, 3.8-litre, double overhead cam, straight-six with twin SUs replaced the 3.4-litre unit of its predecessors. Standard transmission was a 4-speed manual gearbox with an overdrive option, but most cars, including this, were built with a Borg Warner 3-speed automatic box. Four-wheel, servo-assisted Dunlop disc brakes and recirculating-ball power steering were now standard equipment and the torsion bar independent front suspension and leaf-sprung rear live axle were retained from the Mk VIII. With 220bhp, disc brakes all round, 0-60 in 11 seconds and 115mph, the Mk IX was a serious performance saloon.However, outright performance was not high on the list for most customers who simply wanted to enjoy the style, elegance and comfort of the new Mk IX. The interior was unashamedly luxurious with extensive use of leather, walnut wood trim and deep pile carpet. A range of single and duo-tone paint schemes was offered although the car here looks particularly elegant in a single shade of Claret.Christened ‘Yobbo’ (Reg. YBO 123), although hardly that, the glorious Mk IX on offer here was professionally restored at no expense-spared by a well-known restorer, and care was taken to ensure great accuracy down to the last detail. The interior is lavish with rich leather, immaculate woodwork and extra thick rugs offering the fortunate occupants first-class travel. Tray tables, a drinks cabinet and a convenient arm rest satisfy the requirements of rear-seat passengers, whilst the driver can enjoy the impressive handling and power from the sonorous XK straight-six.The car was subsequently sold to another well-known Jaguar enthusiast and a new chapter in Yobbo’s life began. Its new custodian initially spent quite some time on the mechanics, improving the handling, braking etc. A radiator cooling fan was fitted, and a CD-player was installed, discreetly hidden from view. When all was well, he started to enjoy the car, although quite sparingly. In 2013, Yobbo took part in the JEC London to Brighton run and was awarded the top prize of the 'Jaguar most people would like to take home'. Yobbo then repeated the run in 2014 and 2015 and, unbelievably, won the same award both years also – a hat-trick which had never been achieved before!In 2015, Yobbo was entered in the Mk VII, VIII and IX Class at the main JDC Concours and, what do you know, it won convincingly, which qualified it for the ‘Champion of Champions’ class on the JDC Stand at the NEC. Unfortunately, the car was involved in an isolated incident causing some superficial damage needing repair and some paint rectification, which meant missing the NEC.In 2016, Yobbo was back to her most beautiful self in time for the main JDC day, and happily won the class for the second year running. This time, it made it to the NEC on the JDC stand and won the Jaguar Mk VII,VIII and IX Class of the ‘Champion of Champions’. It was the only car on the stand that drove under its own steam to and from the exhibition.Yobbo has attended other smaller events often winning awards, but these are too numerous to list! Very few cars in this price range come close to the levels of comfort, style and performance that comes with this restored Mk IX and, with the minimum amount of fettling, it could be back on the JDC stand once again, receiving the top award.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: MARK IXYear: 1961Chassis Number: 775923BWRegistration Number: YBO 123Transmission: ManualEngine Number: NE1994-8 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 25525 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Oxblood Red leatherClick here for more details and images

Build Number 001, the first car produced for the Bowler Defender Championship and the first Bowler Defender ever produced for retail.Since its inception in 1985, Bowler Motors has developed a worldwide reputation in the arena of design and construction of Land Rover-based off-road vehicles. Led by the company’s inspirational founder, Drew Bowler, until his untimely death in 2016, the company grew from a nascent workforce of just eight to the present group of 35 highly-skilled engineers. Initially focussing on the preparation of cars for British off-road events, the company’s ambitions expanded rapidly to encompass participation in events including the Dakar Rally, Morocco Desert Challenge and Spanish Baja and, for the past two decades, their cars have formed the backbone of many Rally Raid events across the globe.In late 2019, Jaguar Land Rover acquired Bowler to add to their Special Vehicle Operations Division, and there were those who were worried that Bowler may become a rather watered-down wing of the larger company, however that has not been the case with Bowler, still enjoying a pleasing level of independence with the bonus of now having access to some of the extensive test and development facilities of JLR. A good example of Bowler/JLR's positive thinking was the announcement in 2021 of the Bowler Defender Championship, a new one-make rally series to promote the Defender and allow customers to take part in rallying in a cost-controlled environment. The 2022 Series was over six rounds, all gravel rallies, and covered events in England, Scotland and Wales during the year at well-known and long-established rally events.The 'Challenge' cars were based on a standard car which was taken off the production line and hand-finished by a specialist team at Bowler. The 2-litre Ingenium petrol four-cylinder engine (296bhp and 295lb/ft of torque) and the 8-speed automatic transmission both remained largely untouched in order to achieve identical performance in the competing cars. To this they added:Structural body and chassis• Monocoque bracing – minimises body movement and supports underbody protection• Full internal roll-cage integrated with body and linking suspension mounts• Internal spare wheel mount integrated to roll cage• Additional front recovery points• Rally-spec gearbox cross member• Stiffened gearbox mounts• Strengthened engine mounts• Braced front and rear subframes• Front suspension turret brace• Rear turret brace• Strengthened radiator mounts• Adapted chassis and subframe mounts• Rally jacking pointsPerformance• Improved cooling – auxiliary radiators removed and increased airflow to main radiator• Increased transmission cooling capacity• Sports exhaust system• Bowler 18” wheels with increased strength• BF Goodrich AT tyres• Bespoke suspension design with modified subframes, new springs and unique turrets for increased stiffness• Bespoke Fox dampers• Race steering wheel with quick release boss• Side air intake covers• High level air intake• Front upper wishbone revised to reflect new ride height geometryElectrical/systems• ECU system integration with race box• ABS/DSC – rally control modifications• New integrated wiring harness for new components• New rally-spec facia• Navigator control unit for lights/washer/horn• Rally system integration with JLR safety systems• Adapted body control unitRegulatory• High-level rear marker lights• Alpine, door and rear windows replaced with polycarbonate• Race sports seats with specific race seat mounts• Six-point race harness• Integrated and hand-held fire suppression• Electrical cut-off switches – internal and external• Complete removal of all airbag systemsStyling• Front bumper adapted to take new underbody protection• Bowler front grille with increased air flow• Rear roof spoiler with extended profile and integrated additional reversing lights• Front and rear wing shields to meet new underbody protection• Wheel arch extensions utilising accessory fitment• Door lowers – protection pieces on shortened doors• Team liveryFunction• Additional bonnet-mounted windscreen washers – to deal with rally levels of water splash• Front driving lights for increased night driving illumination• Rally-spec mud flaps• Full underbody protection system – 6mm aluminium reinforced design• New gear shift position – optimised to sports seats• Column-mounted gear shift paddles – unique to Bowler• Passenger foot rest• Rear door manual release mechanism• Wheel arch lines – increased strength to meet rally requirementsWe are delighted to offer, here at the Silverstone Festival 2023, Bowler Defender - build number 001, the first car produced for the Championship and the first Bowler Defender produced for retail, all confirmed by the Bowler chassis plate and the relevant documentation that accompanies the car.#001 was ordered at the beginning of 2021 as part of the Bowler Defender Challenge and, at the time of purchase, was equipped with all the possible options from Bowler including Rally Package One and Rally Package Two. It took part in five rounds of the 2022 Championship, winning the longest and most challenging event, the three-day Welsh Hill Rally.Initially it was retained by Bowler and has been featured in a number of their promotional videos, both for JLR and their own marketing requirements. As part of its high-profile, #001 starred in the car wow ‘tug-of-war’ contest and was used for a full days testing and training in conjunction with Mark Higgins at Walters Arena.A complete new engine was fitted by JLR Special Vehicles around 600-miles ago, with only one event since, and the car is up to date with all the more recent Bowler modifications including the uprated radiator mounting system and the modified torque tube and subframe. It's complete with a full tool kit, two rally computers, upgraded light pack, twin intercom system and road-compliant headsets plus the aforementioned paperwork. It has been used competitively and therefore does have bodywork inClick here for more details and images

A collector-quality example of Renault's never-to-be-repeated, limited-edition, design-classic with just over 5,000 miles and an extensive service history.The idea for the Renault Spider was formulated in the early 1990s, in the midst of a revival, after a difficult second half of the 1980s, Renault wanted a car to promote as a sporting brand (similar to the Renault 5 Turbo from a decade earlier) and as a result the Spider was the first car to be produced under the new brand name of 'Renaultsport'.The Renaultsport Spider started life as a futuristic concept car dubbed ‘Laguna Roadster’ that made its international debut at the 1990 edition of the Paris Motor Show. Public response to the Laguna Roadster was surprisingly positive, so Renault’s top executives attempted to make a reasonable business case for it. The project was a tough sell at first, few automakers can justify investing in a low-volume niche model, but it was finally given the green light for production in September of 1993.The Spider was intended to serve as both a racing car in a one-make series organised by Renault and as a slightly more civilized road car. The first prototypes for 'Project W94', as it was known at the time, were completed in mid-1994, and a concept version was presented to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in 1995. The car went on sale in late 1995, assembled at the Alpine factory in Dieppe.Designed from the outset as a driver's car, the chassis was made of aluminium (combining low weight and substantial strength) clad in a GRP body. The gearbox and engine were one unit, transversally fixed in an oscillating hinge (an arrangement inspired by aeronautical design), which all but eradicated the interference of engine vibration with the chassis. The pedals of the Spider were adjustable as well as the seat so the driver could achieve the absolute optimum driving position. The heart of the Spider was a mid-mounted 2-litre, DOHC F7R four-cylinder engine which was borrowed from the Clio Williams and later used in the Mégane Coupé. Tuned to generate 148bhp and 129lb/ft. of torque, the 16-valve unit was linked to a five-speed manual transmission that sent power to the rear wheels. The 930kg two-seater sprinted from 0 to 62mph in 6.9 seconds and went on to a top speed of 133mph.According to the official production numbers there were just 1,685 examples of the Spider assembled in Alpine’s Dieppe factory from 1996 to 1999. Each car was hand-built from start to finish and took about 90-hours to complete, which partially justified its relatively high price at the time. The Spider model was unfortunately discontinued after only a year and a half of production.400 LHD cars were produced as 'saute vente'  with a wind deflector (instead of a windscreen) which created an air-screen in front of the driver. For the UK-market, a number of RHD cars were built with windscreens, but only 60 RHD cars were sold. The remainder of the cars were sold in the German market converted back to LHD with the addition of a driver’s airbag.The 1997 Renaultsport Spider presented here is one of those 60 windscreen-equipped, right-hand drive examples sold new to the UK-market and has covered just over 5,000 miles since new. It's finished in the original three-stage Pearlescent Liquid Yellow paintwork – arguably a Spider’s signature colour. Incredibly original and still in 'showroom condition', there cannot be many better examples available. It has quite obviously has never seen any rain or winter roads, its condition being wholly commensurate with its low-mileage, fully backed-up by servicing records.  It was supplied new on 16th December 1997 through Bailey’s of Hanley Ltd. (Renault) and is still accompanied by its owner’s book-pack, service book, numerous receipts and invoices, V5C, previous MOT Certificates, and both keys, as well as clear and weatherproof cockpit covers. It also retains its original ‘briefcase’ in the front luggage compartment which houses the locking wheel nut, spares, tow hook, and jack.The service record is impeccable too, the most recent (with cambelt) being done at Renault specialists Cedar Motors Ltd. of Leicestershire.Aug 2022 - 5,018 miles - Vasstech NorthallertonSep 2021 - 5,008 miles - Vasstech NorthallertonSep 2020 - 4,999 miles - Vasstech NorthallertonJul   2019 - 4,993 miles - Vasstech NorthallertonSep 2007 - 3,322 miles - Parkwood Service CentreJun  2006 - 3,125 miles - Parkwood Service CentreMay 2004 - 2,675 miles - Parkwood Service CentreJun  2003 - 2,307 miles - Parkwood Service CentreJun  2002 - 2,081 miles - Parkwood Service CentreJun  2001 - 1,852 miles - Globe Motors LtdNov 1999 - 1,034 miles - Renault LeedsThis is a very rare opportunity to acquire a special little sports car, rarely seen on British roads, that is sure to be the talking point at any classic car show.SpecificationMake: RENAULTModel: SPORTS SPIDERYear: 1999Chassis Number: VMKAF0H0515801676Registration Number: R137 EFATransmission: Maual Engine Number: C000322 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 5215 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Rare Evo IX FQ-360 by HKS, less than 60,000 miles and 19 services in the book.No other car makes 15-years ago seem more like ancient history than the Mitsubishi Evo IX. Today, Mitsubishi UK doesn’t exist as a sales operation, only surviving to service the sorry collection of Mirages, ASXs and plug-in Outlanders that were its market offering as the death knell tolled. It’s been some fall from grace. Back in 2007/08, not only was the Evo IX probably the best Evo since the VI, there was still another one to come. Maybe the X wasn’t as adored (with some justification) but it was still a ferociously fast four-door with lots of clever chassis tech. The Final Edition of that car was confirmed less than a decade ago - now look.The Evo’s demise is a curious and lengthy case, and the story can’t really be done justice here - but there's no question that models like the Ford Focus RS undoubtedly proved there was still demand for aggressively turbocharged, four-wheel drive, manual gearbox fast cars in the years after Lancer. Mostly it was the simple fact that times change and the Evo didn’t as much; in the late 2000s, as it was at the turn of the century, the car did what it said on the tin, but it was pretty expensive to run and its heyday was already over the horizon. By the time of the Evo IX FQ-360 by HKS, the Lancer required ever greater commitment. It was quite a lot of money, those notorious service intervals remained, and the world’s finances were teetering on the edge. But what a car. On top of the standard 360’s brilliance, the HKS added new Bilstein dampers and Eibach springs and finished off with 17" Speedline Turini alloys.This Evo is one of those exceptionally rare MR HKS models, and presumably one of very few in red being Number 73, and the last to have the 4G63 engine fitted. A 2007 car, it’s being sold with a full service history which includes a respectable 19 documented services, and it has also benefitted recently from a new clutch and flywheel. Our vendor has had the pleasure of the car since 2020 with only four previous keepers since 1st September 2007. This particular example has the benefit of IX MR Embroidered Recaro Sports Bucket Seats- a £2,500 option, Brembo performance brakes and it sports the carbon exterior splitter, vortex, spoiler blade and exhaust surround unique to the 360MR. The car also has the added benefit of the Ralliart 3-gauge central display.These Evo 9s are a truly epic drive and this particular example, having only covered 59,000 miles, remains pretty much as the factory intended, making it totally desirable for the purists amongst us. Guided very sensibly, this fabulous Evo is sure to generate good interest.SpecificationMake: MITSUBISHIModel: LANCER EVO IXYear: 2007Chassis Number: CT9A-0500765Registration Number: T900 CCCTransmission: Manual Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 59198 MilesClick here for more details and images
