2000 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Coupé (Manual) Transmission: manualMileage:38013Regarded by many as one of the world's most beautiful cars when released in 1994, the DB7 received many subtle but effective changes over its 10 year life to complement the elegant body design. Originally designed by Ian Callum to be both beautiful and practical and encompass all the unmistakable DB styling cues, it was initially deemed a little underpowered and thus lacking in excitement. In 1999 the DB7 received significant enhancements with the introduction of the Vantage. The Vantage was the first Aston Martin to use the V12 engine and alongside styling changes enabled 420bhp with the manual example achieving 184mph top speed. A more aggressive styling with a bigger front grille, new fog lights, side and indicator lights and imposing 18 wheels complemented the styling refresh. The Vantage interior leather trim was cut and sewn at a special trim shop at Newport Pagnell, where the carpet and wood veneers were also prepared.Originally registered on 30th May 2000 this Aston Martin is finished in the delightful colour combination of Porsche Cobalt Blue with Pacific Blue and Parchment interior. A walnut dash and door cappings, together with dark blue Wilton carpets finish the cabin area supremely well. Having covered a mere 38,013 miles from new, this DB7 has had only three owners throughout its lifetime, the current registered keeper has owned the car since September 2004. Not only does this car have low ownership and mileage, it is fitted with a manual gearbox. Manual examples of a DB7 Vantage are rare and to find a low mileage example is even harder to find. Present in the history file are the original service books, showing the car was supplied by JCT in Leeds. There are nine stamps in the service book, along with a host of invoices. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 8th October 2024, this Aston Martin DB7 Vantage, with its six-speed manual gearbox is sure to create interest.

1931 Rolls-Royce 20 / 25 Sedanca de Ville by Windovers Transmission: manualMileage:57000First registered on 7th May 1931 and finished in pastel blue and black with black leather interior, GNS75 was initially ordered by J.J. Jones of 88 St. James's Street, London however the first owner was actually Hylton Ralph Murray-Philipson (Jnr) of Stobo Castle, Peebles. Stobo Castle had been purchased by Hylton Murray-Philipson Snr in 1905 and in 1924 he conveyed the estate to his son who was a pioneer aviator. Hylton's career consisted of being the C.O. of the City of Edinburgh Auxiliary Air Force Squadron, Conservative MP for Twickenham; Chairman of N.E. Marine Engineering Company and a member of the King's Bodyguard for Scotland and the Royal Company of Archers. Hylton Murray-Philipson suffered from ill health and died in 1934 aged 32 leaving GNS75 to his wife Monica and two young children. In 1939 Monica Murray-Philipson sold Stobo Castle to Wenefryde Agatha Scott, 10th Countess of Dysart and after 10 years of being a widow Monica married Colonel P.H. Lloyd of Stone House in Blaston. The Colonel and Murray-Philipson had business connections as they were both company directors of Manvers Main Collieries Ltd €“ Murray-Philipson in 1923/33 and Lloyd in 1940/47. In 1943 GNS75 is shown as being with her second family, that of John Stanley Coombe Beard of Grayshott Hall, Surrey. John Beard was an architect well known for designing over 100 cinemas in many styles, Baroque, Art Deco, Italian Renaissance, Greek Revival and even Egyptian. Interestingly in 1937 Mrs Beard made call to the police about an attempted burglary which resulted in the first arrest directly attributable to the new 999 service. A rare, possibly unique and very attractively designed car incorporating many appealing features such as stylish wings, separate steps in place of running boards, slim bumpers, external visor and louvred bonnet and scuttle with beautifully proportioned coachwork. With a polished aluminium bonnet top and waistline and P80 'bullseye' headlamps with pillar spot lamp all adds to the overall gorgeous design with the incorporation of various Art Deco touches. This 20/25 allows you to instruct your chauffeur from the privacy of the rear passenger compartment with the interior dividing screen while keeping an eye on progress with your own speedometer which is naturally mounted atop the built-in drink's cabinet. Such unusual original features are what make this Rolls-Royce special, even the delightful Sedanca de Ville coachwork is rare with its split separate steps and Art Deco flourishes. The front compartment provides accommodation for the driver and a passenger with a removable roof section for open-air motoring and wind-up windows. The driver's window also featuring a quick release lower section to allow hand signals to be easily executed. A right hand gear change allows for plenty of legroom and the large steering wheel is surmounted by a collection of hand controls. A large bulb horn lies easily to hand and the windscreen can be opened for ventilation. It is shaded by a glass visor and a spot lamp is within the driver's reach. Gauges are also a feature of the rear passenger compartment, although separated by a dividing screen, the rear passengers can keep an eye on their own speedometer as well as being supplied with a clock, barometer and a circular thermometer. The clock, and possibly the barometer, appear to be later additions. The drinks cabinet has provision for holding several decanters and a few glasses in a Lazy Susan, although the glassware itself is no longer present. The leather upholstery looks to be in lovely condition throughout, exhibiting just the right amount of patina without looking tatty. The carpets, door cards and headlining are similarly well presented as are stylish Art Deco door handles and window winders, which place this Rolls-Royce squarely in the 1930s. To the exterior, the Palladian radiator surround is topped with the Spirit of Ecstasy and the long bonnet is flanked by twin side-mount spare wheels. A pair of large Lucas tripod headlamps illuminate the road ahead and are assisted by a centrally mounted spot lamp, as well as the swivelling spot lamp near the driver. Twin horns complete the scene at the front of the car, along with a polished chrome-plated bumper. The Windovers Sedanca de Ville coachwork suits the car well and is beautifully proportioned. It features the unusual running boards, separate for front and rear passengers, as well as a useful luggage boot to the rear. Polished aluminium discs cover the wire wheels and the car runs on a full set of Paymaster tyres. Lifting the long bonnet reveals the powerful, straight-six, 3.7 litre engine. The engine features coil ignition and is fed by an Autovac fuel pump and, unusually for a car of this period, there is a glass bottle of screen wash mounted on the bulkhead, which is likely to be a later addition coupled to a small modern electric pump which has been added for ease of use. Supplied with a history file which includes historic photographs of restoration, instruction book and the original buff logbook coupled to the V5C registration document and copies of handwritten service records. The vendor informs us that the engine starts up easily every time and runs well. It is said to be a joy to drive and mechanically sound with its overhead valves, four-speed gearbox and powerful engine, this Rolls-Royce is certainly very capable and splendidly opulent. An imposing motorcar, which wears fabulously unusual coachwork and retains many original details.  

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 GES Transmission: manualMileage:156738The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagon, short for Geländewagen (cross-country vehicle), is characterised by its boxy styling and body-on-frame construction. It uses three fully locking differentials, one of the few vehicles to have such a feature. The G-Class is still in production and is one of the longest produced Mercedes-Benz vehicles in their history with a span of 32 years. It was developed as a military vehicle from a suggestion by the Shah of Iran and offered as a civilian version in 1979. The first major refinements were introduced in 1981, including an automatic transmission, air conditioning, an auxiliary fuel tank, protective headlamp grilles and a cable winch. Fuel injection became available in 1982 when the 230GE was introduced in Turin, along with more comfortable and supportive front seats, auxiliary heating, wider tyres and wheel arches. For 1985, differential locks, central door locking and a tachometer became standard.This very well presented manual transmission example is offered in its original colour combination of Astra Metallic Silver over a black leather interior and looks excellent having been treated to much restoration and maintenance work in recent years. Over £15,000 was spent including a 'windows out' respray and more recently the G-Wagon was treated to a set of new tyres all round. As such the G-Wagon presents in very good condition throughout. The paintwork is excellent and the interior including the headlining and carpets are presented in very good condition. Offered with a history file including photos of the comprehensive respray, many sundry bills, invoices for various works, many previous MoT test certificates, the current UK registration document and an MoT valid until June 2024. This is one of the best examples we have seen and having been maintained and restored to such a level we are sure it will be keenly contested at auction. 

1966 Triumph Stag Mk. II Transmission: automaticMileage:65000Like the Triumph 2000 it was developed from, the Triumph Stag was styled by Italian maestro, Giovanni Michelotti. The radical design introduced the integrated B-pillar rollover hoop and soft top arrangement as well as five-spoke alloy wheels. This slightly more advanced Mk. II model benefits from the correct triumph three-litre, V8 unit fed by a pair of Stromberg carburettors and combined with the Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission rather than the alternative Rover variant. With just four previous owners (the current one for 26 years!), this Mimosa Yellow example presents in extremely good original condition. Whilst showing its age in a very few minor places, the paintwork overall is very good with straight panel gaps all round, solid brightwork and an entirely straight and well-ordered interior. It has recently been cared for under the extremely professional hands of Lackford Engineering, highly respected specialists in their field. Recent works are extensive and carefully detailed in the comprehensive history folder to include a full one-year MoT test certificate. All works in recent years have been carried out regardless of cost complete with a new black mohair hood, electronic ignition and the original owner's manual and pack. This good looking classic represents extremely good value for money. Consignor, Edward Bridger-Stille  *Interested parties should note that this lot dates back to 1974 and not 1966 as advertised.

1986 BMW 320i Convertible by Baur Transmission: manualMileage:36500The 1985 BMW 318i Convertible by Baur is a rare and captivating classic car. Baur, a renowned German coachbuilder, transformed the BMW 3 Series into an elegant and stylish convertible. With its sleek lines and open-top design, it offers a unique driving experience. The 318i Convertible is powered by a 1.8 litre engine, providing a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. Its compact size and agile handling make it enjoyable to manoeuvre. The Baur conversion adds exclusivity to the BMW 318i, making it a sought-after collectible for enthusiasts who appreciate its distinctive blend of craftsmanship and open-air motoring.This rare BMW by Baur was originally registered on 30th October 1986 and in Silver. It has covered a low mileage of 36,500 which is believed to be correct. A desirable 2 litre manual example which we understand was painted in the 1990's and is now presented in white with a very good blue hood sitting on BBS style wheels. The interior trim befits the odometer reading and is well appointed in deep blue showing no heavy signs of wear and the carpets are in good order. The dashboard shows no cracking or marks and the roof mechanism works well. Having been 'garage found' recently and recommissioned, the vendor informs us that the car starts and runs, indeed it drives and appears in fair order. However, when it was sat for some time in a garage, the underside of the car requires some attention showing surface rust and requiring some work to the rear corners and upon inspection the car would require new inner sills and may require some welding. Overall, this delightful convertible is ideal for both summer motoring or long term investment post necessary works. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and without reserve this is a very desirable example for the BMW enthusiast. Consignor Mathew PriddyGuide Price £4,000-£7,000

1965 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk. I (1275cc) Transmission: manualMileage:To many, its designer Alec Issigonis included, the notion that the Mini might have a future as anything other than basic transport was anathema, and the idea of a high-performance version was laughable. One man though, saw it quite differently. Racing car manufacturer John Cooper already knew quite a bit about tuning BMC's A-Series engine, he was running the company's Formula Junior effort at the time, and a test drive in a prototype Mini convinced him of the car's competition potential. The result, launched in September 1961, was the Mini Cooper, a car that offered a size/price/performance package that was nothing short of miraculous. The Mini Cooper soon established its credentials as a rally and race winner, and the stage was set for even faster versions. The first of these, the 1,071cc Mini Cooper 'S' of 1963, took engine development a stage further and provided the basis for the 971 'S' and 1275 'S' of 1964. Manufactured on 29th April 1965 this Mini spent its early years in Guernsey. It came back to the mainland in 1976 and was put into dry storage in 1980. The vendor, a very competent engineer, has extensively restored this Cooper S to a very high standard. The car was stripped and the bodyshell was completely refurbished using a rotisserie. It was painted in the original colour combination of Old English White with a black roof. New inner and outer sills have been fitted as has a new rear subframe. The 1275cc engine and gearbox have previously been rebuilt and the gearbox has straight-cut gears, the engine runs very well with good oil pressure. The brakes have been totally refurbished and the suspension has new Hydro lines fitted. New 4½ inch wheel rims have been fitted together with new tyres. Internally the headlining was replaced, the seats have been recovered, all to the original colour combination. The result of this extensive work is a Mini Cooper S Mk. I that is pristine in its presentation. The vendor has done very few miles since the rebuild and the car has only done 391 miles in the last 42 years. Supplied with a V5C registration document, a good history folder and a Heritage Certificate and presenting in delightful condition this 1275cc Mini Cooper S looks exceptional value especially given its rarity and wow factor. Consignor Stewart Banks.  *Interested partes should note that this Mini has developed a problem with the steering rack & pinion. This will be rectified at the vendors expense prior to delivery to a new owner.

1986 Ford Escort RS Turbo Transmission: manualMileage:27815The 1986 Ford Escort RS Turbo was a compact powerhouse, a symbol of the era's hot hatchback craze. Under its unassuming exterior lay a 1.6 litre turbocharged engine producing 132 horsepower, propelling the car from 0-60mph in just 7.7 seconds. This performance-oriented Escort featured a sportier suspension, distinctive body cladding, and a rear spoiler, all adding to its dynamic appearance. It was renowned for its nimble handling and provided an exhilarating driving experience. The Escort RS Turbo remains an iconic representative of the 1980s hot hatch scene, cherished by enthusiasts for its blend of practicality and spirited performance.This Ford Escort RS Turbo was originally registered on 20th November 1986 and presents in black with a contrasting grey Recaro interior. The specification includes model correct details including 15€ six spoke alloys, central locking and a factory fitted manual sunroof. Power is delivered via a limited slip differential, and we are told this hot hatch is still fun to drive. The car has recently benefitted from some light recommissioning. Interested parties should note that the mileage on this car cannot be warranted and a full inspection is advised.  There are fewer cars of this era available in their original form and this Turbo would look well in any fast Ford collection.

1971 Porsche 911E Transmission: manualMileage:87800The Porsche 911 is the flagship car of the German manufacturer. It has a distinctive design, rear-engine, with independent rear suspension, an evolution of the swing axle on the Porsche 356. Since its introduction in 1963, the 911 has undergone continuous development although the basic concept has remained little changed. Throughout its lifetime, the 911 has been modified by private teams and by the factory itself for racing, rallying and other forms of competition and is among the most successful competition cars ever. The earliest edition of the 911 had a flat-six engine in the 'boxer' configuration, similar to the 356, air-cooled, rear-mounted and displaced 1991cc. It was mated to a four or five-speed manual 'Type 901' gearbox.Manufactured in October 1970 this 911E, originally shipped to the USA by Porsche Cars America where it was registered in 1971. Details from Mohr Sports Car Brokers indicate that the car when it left California for Belgium in 2014/15 had been fully restored and uprated, this included later green/black leather trim and an uprated engine to a 1973 2.4 litre S specification and was offered with the original engine in a crate with the sale. The original certificate of title from 2014 is still with the documentation and we can ascertain that the cars restoration included a repaint in the original 8080 paint code (Silver metallic), full retrim, gearbox rebuild and sports exhaust and Sekuritt glass all round with new chrome and very good panel gaps sitting on deep 6's Fuchs including the flat six spare wheel. The car was purchased by a Belgian whom then later that year offered the car for sale in this exact condition via the Hedingham Classics at the Castle auction at which our vendor purchased for £88,040. Belgian registered in 2015, under the skin was still the 2.4 litre uprated S specification engine with the original matching numbers engine, which was in need of rebuilding, giving the opportunity to return this car to its factory specification. After careful consideration he initially had the car fully retrimmed by Classic FX to original, as it would have left the showroom in 1971, including restoration of the genuine Recaro sports seats. Now invested in the car he took it to renowned specialists Redtek, air cooled 911 engine specialists, to fully rebuild and install the original engine to the car and fit new front and rear shock absorbers, all of which is supported by invoices in the history file. Since the full engine rebuild, which was under 1,000 miles ago (thus still considered being 'run in') the car has been maintained by Redtek/Nick Fulljames and presents as a fabulous example of a matching numbers fully restored 71 911E.Offered with original documentation from its purchase and export in 2014, through to all invoices from both Redtek and Classic FX coupled to an original 911E owner's manual, UK V5C and Porsche certificate of Authenticity, tool roll, jack and spare CDI box, this is a wonderful opportunity to own an iconic 911 in its factory specification, with viewing highly recommended. Consignor Mathew Priddy

1970 Porsche 911T Transmission: manualMileage:The original 911 series is often cited as the most successful competition car ever, especially when its variations are included; namely the powerful 911 derived 935 which won the 24 Hours Le Mans and other major sports car races outright against prototypes. The 911T was the first Porsche to receive the new Bosch K-Jetronic or CIS engine (Continuous Injection System) from January 1973 onwards. Often referred to as 1973 1/2, these T models produced 140bhp and also boasted the newer type standard H pattern (915) gearbox which, in tandem, provided a smooth yet powerful engine and proved great fun to drive. A contemporary Car and Driver extended road test concluded the base spec 911T was the better touring car, with the two fuel injected models being more difficult to handle in traffic and filled with mechanical noises.This stunning left hand drive, 1970 Porsche 911T coupé came off the production line in December 1969 and was first registered in Los Angeles, specified with an optional Blaupunkt stereo, leather steering wheel, and 911S oil tank and instruments. Owned for many years by a Mr Greg Craven in North Carolina, the 911 was imported to Europe in 2014 where it was the subject of a full body and mechanical restoration costing circa 50,000 euros, undertaken by Classic Car Services, under the watchful eye of Noel de Block, one of the leading classic car specialists in Belgium. The opportunity was taken to change the colour from burgundy, to the Porsche colour of ivory white. A full photographic record of the work that was undertaken can be seen on the Classic Car Services website (https://classic-car-service.be/porsche-911-t-karmann-coupe-1969/) and shows the high standard that it was completed to. Subsequently the Porsche was owned by Robert van Weelde, who amongst other things, played cricket for his home nation of the Netherlands!In the current vendors ownership, the 911 has been dry stored and resides in his private collection. The vendor reports that the original 2.2 litre engine offers plenty of power and the 911 drives very well indeed. In fantastic condition throughout the paintwork and interior are in very good order as is the engine bay, and underside. Maintained regardless of cost and following the extensive restoration this wonderful example is ready to enjoy. Offered with a history file including its current UK V5C registration document, previous MoT records, sundry bills, a photographic gallery of the restoration, and a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirming that it retains its original engine. A desirable five speed manual example of the early Porsche 911, fabulously presented. Consignor Daniel Godin

1978 MGB GT Transmission: manualMileage:88334The MGB was launched in May 1962 to replace the MGA. Introduced as a four-cylinder roadster, a coupé with 2+2 seating was added in 1965, with production continuing until October 1980. The MGB GT sported a ground-breaking design by Pininfarina with the launch of its sporty 'hatchback' style. By combining the sloping rear window with the rear deck lid, the GT offered the utility of a hatchback whilst retaining the style and shape of a coupé. Acceleration of the GT was slightly slower than that of the Roadster due to its increased weight although top speed was improved by 5mph to 105mph due to better aerodynamics.Originally registered on 22nd March 1978 this one owner MGB GT is finished in Inca Yellow with grey striped interior. The history file dates back to 1993, these cars are not complicated mechanically and can be looked after by a competent enthusiast. The Owner's Club are also very supportive in their advice and parts supply. This manual gearbox with overdrive example runs well although the bodywork will require some time and investment, hardly surprising as it is 45 years old. Offered for sale without reserve, this MGB GT is supplied with a V5C registration certificate together with a collection of paperwork. 

1936 MG PB Transmission: manualMileage:13872The MG P-type is a sports car that was produced from 1934 to 1936. This two-door sports car used an updated version of the Wolseley Motors-design and made overhead camshaft crossflow engine, previously fitted in the J-type Midget of 1932 to 1934, driving the rear wheels through a four-speed non-synchromesh gearbox.The PB produced from 1935 had a bigger 939 cc engine made by enlarging the bore from 57 to 60 mm and this increased the output to 43 bhp. Externally the versions are very similar, the main difference being the radiator grille, where the PA has a honeycomb and the PB has vertical slats. The other obvious difference is in the design and material of the standard dashboard. Just 526 examples of the PB were produced and in 1936 a supercharged MG PB driven by Andrew Hutchinson won the Limerick Grand Prix.First registered on 6th of February 1936 this PB is one of just 99 four-seat tourers manufactured by MG. The present owner purchased the car some nine years ago in 2014 and imported the vehicle back to the UK from Denmark, where it was exhibited in the Egeskov Classic Museum for over 12 years.Listed on the Triple M register €“ PB0631 /MMM867, since 2014 this example has been used regularly on regularity rallies (10) and charity tours (3) in the UK and Europe. Competitive results include three class wins in the RAC 1000 Mile Trial in 2015, 2016 and 2018 and overall winner of the Historic Endurance Rally Association (HERO) Summer Trial in 2019.In the last nine years over £40,000 has been spent on servicing and upgrades, much of this with pre-war MG specialist Andy King. Work done includes servicing and annual MoT's since 2017, and cylinder head and engine rebuilds including fitment of a Marshall type supercharger and a water pump, both options in 1936. Other additions include a mohair tonneau cover and hood, plus side screens, and running boards. An electric fan was fitted with conversion to waterless coolant. Additional work included a new clutch, an electric master switch and prop shaft fitment of Brantz sensor.The history file includes invoices and MoT records from 2014, a current V5 and history from 1972 to 1984 including details of the restoration/rebuild completed in 1977 by a recent secretary of the Triple-M Register.Offered with the MG Workshop Manual (M Type), an original MG Owner Instruction Manual (P and PB Series), and miscellaneous spares including starting handle, contactless petrol pump, 16-inch steering wheel, original fitment twin carburetors and inlet manifold, supercharger belts, ignition components and two aero screens (un-used).This is a rare, usable, and well-maintained example of the PB with a clear indication of the competitive nature of the car borne out by its results over the past decade.

1989 Austin Mini Thirty Transmission: manualMileage:86650By the time the Mini celebrated its 30th anniversary it had already passed the remarkable production milestone of five million (achieved in 1986). Based on the Mini Mayfair and introduced in June 1989, the 'Thirty' was the most luxuriously equipped Mini Limited Edition model to date. Just two alternative paint schemes were offered - Cherry Red or black - featuring contrasting duo-tone coachlines and '1959-1989' decals and bonnet badge. Wheel arch extensions, door mirrors and sill covers were colour-matched to the body, chrome finish being reinstated for the grille, bumpers and door handles, while Minilite-style alloy wheels (soon to feature on the Mini Cooper) were a particularly handsome addition to the package.

1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:108800Mercedes-Benz revived one of its most famous model designations of all time when it introduced the new 300 SL in 1985. However, on this occasion the newcomer was not a thinly disguised sports racer but the latest in a noble line of six-cylinder luxury Gran Turismos stretching back to the 230 SL of 1963 which was distinguished by its distinctive optional hardtop that earned the model its nickname 'Pagoda top'. When the Type 113 finally finished with the 280 SL in 1971, it was replaced by the V8 engined Type 107, there would not be a six-cylinder model in the range for a further nine years, this changed in 1980 with the launch of the new 280 SL. This used the same twin overhead camshaft engine as the other '280' models which gave 185bhp and a top speed of 127mph. When the 300 SL took over in 1985, it came with a single camshaft engine that produced a mere three horsepower more at the top end, the main gains over the superseded engine being a useful increase in torque and a marked reduction in fuel consumption.This lovely, UK supplied 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL is presented in exceptional all-round condition, having been meticulously cared for and dry stored in a private collection for the past seven years and has only incurred minimal mileage. The paintwork finished in Champagne Gold with a matching hardtop is in very good condition throughout. The box pleated seats with eared headrests in supply perforated brown leather and is fitted with the optional rear seat in matching leather. The car has been fully maintained shown by the stamped service book with 23 stamps. Fully recommissioned in less than 1000 miles ago including the brakes fully serviced and reconditioned with new front callipers and new brake fluid. Fitted with 'Gullideckel' alloy wheels, this lovely 300 SL is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in May 2024, the owners' manual, fully stamped service book, a file containing the servicing invoices, two sets of keys and a updated Blaupunkt Memphis audio unit with Bluetooth connectivity. The timeless lines and design of the R107 SL series still looks elegant and contemporary, with this car's exceptional condition it is one to consider if looking for a very usable classic for the summer. Consignor John Tomlin.

1999 Honda NSX Transmission: manualMileage:105170The 1999 Honda NSX epitomizes automotive excellence, blending precision engineering with dynamic performance. Crafted with lightweight materials like aluminium and featuring a mid-mounted 3.2-litre V6 engine, it delivers 290 horsepower with exhilarating responsiveness. Its aerodynamic design, influenced by F-16 fighter jets, not only enhances speed but also ensures stability at high velocities.

In September 2001 at 16,900 miles the car was subject to a Category D insurance loss. The repairs were undertaken by Avonvale Honda of Coventry, one of the original authorised NSX dealers. Our vendor acquired the vehicle in April 2006 when the car had covered circa 37,000 miles and has used this impressive Honda as his daily driver since then. During this time the car has benefitted from maintenance of the highest standard. Honda franchised dealer Avonvale undertook most of the work including two new clutches and two timing belt changes.In 2019 at 100,00 miles an expensive refit was undertaken by leading restorers Project Heaven. Works undertaken include a complete front and rear suspension overhaul with new springs, brackets, shock absorbers, anti-roll bar and bushes, steering arms and lower wishbones, exhaust, brake system, and a paint refresh, The exhaust system works included the fitting of new catalytic converters and replacing original pipework with a one off, unique stainless-steel system whilst retaining the Honda back box. Offered to auction with a V5c registration document and the bills and receipts for the works described this is a not to be missed opportunity to own a car that the vendor describes as still feeling tight, quick and a joy to be driven.

2004 Porsche 911 / 996 Turbo X50 Cabriolet Transmission: manualMileage:55175The 996 model is a superb car; quick, reliable, well made and the birth of the water-cooled Porsche 911. With a wide range of models on offer the most iconic is, of course, the Turbo. Featuring four-wheel drive and a 3.6 litre intercooled engine, derived from the 1998 Le Mans winning GT-1 car, pushing out 415bhp and hitting 60mph in a whisker over four seconds, this is genuine supercar territory. The 996 was seen as a more relaxed and usable 911; however, in Turbo guise, the driver would get the best of both worlds; a luxury leather interior with every creature comfort combined with the ability to drop the hammer and reach a top speed of a claimed 190mph. The 996 Turbo was available with either a six-speed manual or a five-speed Tiptronic transmission with revised styling and a wider stance than the naturally aspirated 996 Carreras along with new bi-Xenon headlamps. The Turbo also came with Variocam Plus as well as stability management - a necessity with over 400bhp under your right foot.The example we have here is fitted with the factory X50 pack, comprising of larger turbos and intercoolers and a power output of 444bhp, versus the standard 415bhp models. The car is beautifully presented in Arctic Silver with a black leather interior, and the all important six-speed manual gearbox. Our vendor purchased the car around three years ago but has covered minimal mileage in that time and has decided it is time to let someone else enjoy the car as it was intended. The car has always been maintained well and is supplied with a V5C registration document, MoT test certificate and an excellent service history. This low mileage offering of the highly desirable X50 package turbo is one for the enthusiast driver or discerning collector alike. Consignor Fraser Smith

1978 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II Transmission: automaticMileage:32271When the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was released to the public in October 1965, the development departments were showing the result of work carried out over a period of some ten years. The new models were technically striking in three ways. A monocoque chassis was used; all wheels were sprung independently and four wheel disc brakes now ensured stopping power of the sort that had come to be expected in a modern car. Under the bonnet, the V8 engine, which had been introduced in the Silver Cloud series, was employed. In February 1977, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II was introduced. The most notable changes mechanically were rack and pinion steering and modifications to the front suspension which improved handling remarkably.The example we have here is presented exceedingly well in Silver Sand with a Walnut roof and the paint still retains an excellent shine, as does the chrome. The Beige hide interior is piped Dark Brown and is also presented in superb order. The walnut veneer dash was re-lacquered in 2018 and the rest of the veneer is in excellent shape, with a few slight cracks to the door capping's. The car is supplied with a comprehensive history file, MoT test certificates dating back to 1985 when the mileage was recorded at 5452 and then showing a steady increase during the following years. A few MoT's have a small gap between them, where it's likely the car spent some time off of the road. However, with the wealth of MoT's and invoices provided in the history file, paired with the condition of the car, we believe that the mileage is very likely to be genuine although this is not warranted. The car is supplied with a V5C registration document, factory order and build sheets, various invoices for works over the years and an original owners manual. In recent years, the car has been maintained by marque specialists Nigel Sandell and Balmoral. Consignor Fraser Smith

1950 Alvis TB14 Transmission: manualMileage:41338A sensation when first shown at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1948, the streamlined TB14 sportscar was an unlikely stablemate for the sober and conventional TA14 saloon on which it was based. Alvis' contract with coachbuilder A P Metalcraft called for an initial run of 100 cars, and in the event this was all that was ever made, the Jaguar XK120's simultaneous arrival on the home market at a slightly lower price rendering the TB14 un-competitive overnight. This example is one of the rarest of post-war Alvis models which was acquired by our vendor in early 2018 and imported from Belgium, returned back to UK plates this car was first registered on 15th September 1950. A stunning restored example cream coachwork with well appointed deep red trim which shows the lines of this Alvis roadster beautifully, the car started very well and run without skipping a beat on inspection, testament to recent mechanical work our vendor had commissioned Spencer Lane-Jones ltd to complete, a full detailed recommissioning was completed late in 2018 with the invoices in the history file surmounting to £5,294. Supplied with the UK V5C registration document, shipping and import papers, recent invoices and Vintage Alvis books. This is a rare and collectable Alvis in fabulous order and viewing is recommended.

1967 Jaguar E-Type Series I 2+2 Fixedhead Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:67428Launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type was nothing short of a revelation. With its heady blend of supercar performance, breathtaking styling and low price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. Early sportscar racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement its reputation. Built as a monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent road holding and handling capabilities. The Jaguar E-Type Series I 2+2 was designed to be a more practical version of the legendary E-Type, with a longer wheelbase and additional interior space. It was produced from 1966 to 1967, and it featured a 4.2 litre inline-six engine that produced 265 horsepower. One of the most notable features of the Jaguar E-Type Series I 2+2 is its sleek and timeless design. The car has a long, flowing hood and a low-slung profile that gives it a sense of speed and power. The body of the car is made of lightweight aluminium, which helps to reduce its overall weight and improve its performance. This example presented in a shade of British racing green was first registered in 1967 and shipped to the US in Green where we believe it spent most of its live bathing in the California sun. Imported in 1991 the car was subject to a full body restoration and conversion to right hand drive in 1996/97. The car was stripped to the chassis, had the 4.2 litre engine fully rebuilt and was fully retrimmed to a very high standards all of which can be seen in a workbook of photos detailing the start through to the finish. Now red the car has remained continuously on the road but in 2007 it was decided a colour change was desired by the then owner back to its original colour, after consideration the red coachwork which was looking tired was changed to a deep shade of British Racing Green a colour that suits the car well and softens the lines of the more practical 2+2 body. Practicality was a reason for our vendors purchase in 2020, at 6ft 6 his desire for a series I E-type had to be matched by the body that allowed him to fit in€¦. the 2+2 is perfect for this accommodating the taller gentleman or lady and thus enabling a dream purchase to come true. Since his purchase the car has been in his words a fabulous drivers example and maintained regardless of cost while sat next to his Alvis. Maintained by Frampton Garage the car has recently had a new fuel tank and just a few years ago gad a new clutch and flywheel, starter motor and a new electronic fuel pump, it has also just been treated for a new owners confidence to an MoT certificate. Offered with a photographic restoration booklet, countless invoices and recent invoices and MoT's coupled to the V5 registration document. A true drivers car, practical especially for those taller but equally with more space will carry four comfortably and has that desirable series 1 design coupled to the 4.2 litre engine. An older restoration that is in very good usable condition, presenting well this is a get in and drive car€¦.so get in and drive! Consignor Mathew PriddyInterested parties should note that this example is an Original California car converted to a manual right hand drive example.

1983 Maserati Merak SS Transmission: manualMileage:51000The Maserati Merak was introduced in 1972, essentially a lighter version of the Maserati Bora. It substituted an all-new Maserati designed quad-cam, three litre, V6 motor for the Bora's larger V8; resulting not only in a lower cost but with room for a small back seat and better handling due to lower weight and a better front/rear weight distribution. Aesthetically, the Merak differed from the otherwise very similar Bora; mainly in sporting open flying buttresses instead of the Bora's fully glassed rear, the mid-engine Merak used the Bora bodyshell but the extra space offered by the smaller engine was used to carve out a second row of seats suitable for children. As with the Bora, certain Citroën hydraulic systems were used such as the brakes, clutch, and headlight pods.This superb example of this sought after Italian sports car is presented in Celeste Chiaro with blue leather interior. This was one of the very last chassis numbers built and was registered in August 1983. It was specially ordered from new with metallic paint, black carpets, black leather centre console, electric windows, air conditioning, Campagnolo wheels and Dynatrol rust treatment. The present owner purchased the car in 2004 and has had it stored in a dehumidified storage facility as part of his significant Italian car collection, using the car regularly. It's history which goes back as far as 1987 including invoices with work carried out by Emblem Sports Cars and Bill McGrath who fully recommissioned the car when the current owner purchased it. The history file also contains full Maserati Classiche documents, original 'End of Line' data sheet, road test document and delivery note to Modena Concessionaires Ltd in the UK. This Maserati has just had a recent minor service, checkover and MoT which was carried out in February 2024. This car is featured in Maserati €“ the Citroën Years by Marc Sonnery (copy included) and the car comes with a fitted indoor car cover. Consigned by James Good.

1981 Porsche 911 SC Sport Targa Transmission: manualMileage:75918Starting in 1978, the new 3.0 litre 911 SC was the second generation basic 911 model. It was in effect a Carrera 3 (known as a 911S in the United States) detuned to provide 180 bhp. The 'SC' designation was reintroduced by Porsche for the first time since the 356 SC as distinguished from the race-engine 356 Carrera. No Carrera versions were produced and the 930 Turbo remained at the top of the range. Porsche's engineers felt that the weight of the extra luxury, safety and emissions equipment on these cars was blunting performance compared to the earlier, lighter cars with the same power output, so in non-US cars, power was increased to 185 hp for 1980, then finally to 201 hp. However, cars sold in the US market retained their lower-compression 180 hp engines throughout. This enabled them to be run on lower-octane fuel but made them less desirable, indeed SC's sold in the UK could be also specified with a desirable Sport Group Package which added stiffer suspension, the rear spoiler, front rubber lip and black Fuchs wheels. A quite incredible find, this 1981 example of the desirable Sport optioned 911 SC Targa has been with the owner and our vendor since 1985 when he purchased it from the second owner via No5 Garage in W12 London as found in the invoices and original sticker in the rear window. First registered on 12th June and finished in black on black with the important original Fuchs wheels (including spare) and iconic whale tale. When purchased in 1985 after a search for the desired colour combination and sport specification the car had covered a lofty 56,000 miles, over the next decade our vendor, working in sales in London, enjoyed the trappings of the 'yuppy' lifestyle with oversized mobile phones and big bonuses one of which when he won he decided to retrim the houndstooth trim (sadly) with an 80's retro style presented today. As years went by the racy 911 was replaced by a luxury Lexus (found next to the 911 in the barn) but the Targa remained his pride and joy, memory of his early success. As the car became the garage queen but regularly used and serviced the mileage declined and over the last decade, although regularly started, it had found itself restricted to the barn. A dry and well-ventilated location this provided an ideal storage for the car which up until the start of the winter was also covered but due to a storm this cover must have been blown off and thus the dust settled on the car. Don't be fooled, under that dust are soft rubbers, no cracks in the plastic, a car that starts and runs well and has all of the electrics functioning€¦ indeed if washed would look like any other well-preserved survivor 911 SC and at auction we have enlisted detailers to show you just how good. The last service was in late 2006 with Specialists GT One and we would advise that it would require some light recommissioning before using in anger, fan belts, new fuel and oil but the tyres are not cracked and when running gives very little indication of its sheltered last decade. Offered with an original book pack, a good history file with the original purchase invoice from No.5 Garage in 1985 and details of its more recent service coupled to Sorn notifications and ample MoT certificates. This really is a survivor even boasting the original pre-1985 silver wheel nut locks including both magnetic release tools and a car that has a great story and represents a very desirable black on black Sport specification low mileage low owner example€¦. A light recommissioning and perhaps returning the houndstooth trim would be in order but afterwards this would be a real collector's example for which viewing is highly recommended. Consignor Mathew Priddy

1971 Triumph TR6 CP Transmission: manualMileage:33249The Triumph TR6 was manufactured for seven years, starting in 1969, and by the time production came to an end in July 1976, it was the best-seller of the TR range. The bodywork closely resembled that of the previous model, the Triumph TR5, but the front and rear were squared off and all TR6s featured inline six-cylinder engines. For the US market, the engine was fitted with carburettors whilst, for other world markets including the UK, the TR6 was fitted with fuel-injection. It featured a four-speed manual gearbox, independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 15 wheels and tyres, pile carpet on the floors and boot, bucket seats and a full complement of instruments. In total, 94,619 TR6s were built of which 86,249 were sold overseas and only 8,370 were sold in the UK.This is an exceptional example of a UK supplied TR6 CP, extensively restored and tastefully upgraded. These early CP models are highly desired due to their higher power and freer revving engines than the later examples, which were gradually du-tuned and given lower compression ratios to cope with more demanding emissions regulations. The car looks superb in its metallic grey colour, paired with an attractive dark burgundy leather interior. The steering has been upgraded to hydraulic power steering, an expensive upgrade which vastly improves the useability of the car but retains excellent steering feel, far better than can be expected from electronic power steering. The restoration was mostly carried out during 2012 by TR Bitz and the overall appearance of the car still resembles that of a car which has been very recently restored. Our vendor has used this TR6 for a number of European road trips; to Le Mans, Italy, Germany etc performing well at all. A long range aluminium fuel tank was fitted during the restoration and the engine was fully rebuilt to stage two specification and a high torque start motor was fitted along with a Kenlowe fan and many other quality of life upgrades. The car was also fully re-wired by TR Bitz during the restoration, they supplied and fitted a full wiring loom. The seats have been upgraded to Mazda MX5 Mk. II seats, a rather popular upgrade for TR's, as they offer much better comfort and support than the original items. More recently, the car was fully serviced, had a new power steering pump fitted, new fuel pump and had new springs and isolators fitted, in October 2022. The car is supplied with a V5C registration document, MoT test certificate and a comprehensive history file with bills totalling more than £25,000. Consignor Fraser Smith 

2003 Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 Transmission: manualMileage:54566At start of the 1990s, after the introduction of their two-seat, grand-tourer R129 SL and the Mazda MX-5, Mercedes-Benz set out to create a new compact roadster, slotted below the SL. By late 1991, under Bruno Sacco, the first design sketches were drawn up and scale models were built in the first half of 1992. Massively successful in its first year, worldwide sales hit 55,000, over double the entire nine-year production of 190 SLs and between 1996 and 2004, over 311,000 SLKs were sold. The roof design consists of a folding steel hardtop with both halves linked by a mechanism which is locked securely when the roof is closed. At the touch of a button on the centre console, a hydraulic system controls the fully automatic folding process in which the boot lid is also integrated.First registered on the 8th May 2003, this wonderful Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 unusually boasts a rare manual gearbox and even has parking sensors. Furthermore, the car has only covered 54,566 miles in its 20 year life. Presented in the attractive Magma red paintwork, it boasts nine service stamps in its accompanying official Mercedes-Benz service booklet, with the last being carried out only a couple of months ago. All the original booklets are supplied with the car along with the service booklet contained in their original booklet case. Reported to run and drive very well and still used regularly, this wonderful little car is only for sale due to a lack of space and is ready for its next owner to enjoy.Supplied with a V5C registration document, a MoT test certificate valid through July 2024, receipts and original stamped service book and handbook. A fun future classic in a rare specification makes this little Mercedes a car to be snapped up. Consigned by Will Penrose.Guide Price: £3,000-£5,000

1971 Range Rover Suffix A two-door Transmission: manualMileage:58426Although now responsible for a whole lifestyle movement, the Range Rover had more humble beginnings. The first-generation Range Rover was introduced in 1970 and was not designed as a luxury 4x4; whilst certainly up-market compared to preceding Land Rover models, the early Range Rovers had fairly basic, utilitarian interiors with vinyl seats and plastic dashboards that were designed to be washed down with a hose. Convenience features such as power assisted steering, carpeted floors, air conditioning, cloth or leather seats and wooden interior trim were fitted later in the production run or as options. Marketed as 'A Car For All Reasons', the Range Rover was more capable off-road than the Land Rover but was much more comfortable, offering a top speed in excess of 100mph.First registered on 1st August 1971, the Range Rover offered here is an early and important example of the world-famous marque. The supplied British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate shows this home market Tuscan Blue 'Suffix A' example was dispatched on 6th July 1971 to the Botwoods Limited dealers in Norwich. This legendary vehicle presents extremely well following a repaint and refurbishment and we are told is a joy to drive. This example retains a lot of factory originality including period correct drop-down rear number plate and a non-heated rear screen. Sensible upgrades include the fitting of three rear seatbelts and a modern Bluetooth stereo. The original stereo is supplied with the car. Offered to auction with an original salesman's manual, owners guide, owner's manual and V5C registration document this Range Rover is ready to be enjoyed or form part of a serious collection.

1964 Jaguar Mk. X (3.8 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:36000The Jaguar Mk. X was the top of the range saloon built by the British manufacturer primarily aimed at the US market. The unitary construction body-shell was codenamed 'Zenith' during development and this floor pan continued in production long after production ended. The interior was the last Jaguar with abundant standard woodwork, including the dashboard, escutcheons, window trim, a pair of large book-matched fold-out rear picnic tables and a front seat pull-out picnic table stowed beneath the instrument cluster. It was also the first Jaguar saloon to feature independent rear suspension and differed from earlier large Jaguar saloons in having 14 wheels instead of the more common 15. The car initially featured a 3,781cc version of Jaguar's XK in-line, six-cylinder engine. For the London Motor Show in October 1964, the enlarged 4,235cc unit took over although the 3.8 litre unit could still be specified until October 1965. Stopping power for this heavy car came from servo assisted disc-brakes on all four wheels; power assisted steering was standard.Presented in Silver metallic with sumptuous red full leather interior, this example was first registered on 1st August 1964 and specified with the rare and desirable manual with overdrive gearbox. Owned from new for some 43 years, this example has had just one former keeper. Since 2007 the car has been well maintained and now boasts an upgraded XJ6 series III gearbox with synchromesh on all gears, full stainless steel exhaust built by Ian Stewart, 3-2-1 distributer, new electric fuel pump and sits on a matching set of Michelin tyres. The history file shows that in February 2023 the car benefitted from recommissioning work including service and brake service. The history file is comprehensive with significant history dating back to 1964, also supplied with the Jaguar 3.8 Mk. X service manual, spare tyre, jack, toolkit and a period look uprated radio and rear picnic tables. The Mk. X is a wonderful car that was utilised by celebrities and gangsters alike and today is still an imposing classic which has proved to be very collectable and with a sports exhaust and triple carburettors it provides great performance while ample space for the family€¦or friends.

2002 Porsche 996 Carrera 4S Transmission: manualMileage:106285The Porsche 911/996 Carrera 4S is fast becoming one of the most desirable 996 models, given its wide turbo body looks and still remaining very affordable in the modern classic world. It offers a thrilling driving experience and is powered by 3.6 litre flat-six engine, producing a highly respectable 316bhp. This engine was paired to either a six-speed manual transmission or an optional five-speed Tiptronic automatic. The car was also fitted with an all-wheel drive system, giving it excellent traction and handling in any conditions. The 996 Carrera 4S has a top speed of 174mph and a 0-60 time of just 4.8 seconds, making it one of the fastest cars in its class.This very well cared for example is the right hand drive, manual derivative. Offered in good order throughout the Porsche is presented in Arctic Silver over a Metropol blue interior and looks superb! The paintwork is in very good order and the interior is in good condition commensurate of its age. Acquired by our vendor in 2020 this example has been used as intended and is showing 106,285 on the odometer. Maintained regardless of cost, the Carrera 4S was even treated to an engine rebuild by its previous vendor including a replacement IMS bearing, an issue commonly found with the 996 model. This work was undertaken in 2014 when the Porsche was showing a mileage of 69,389 and was undertaken by well-respected Porsche engine rebuild specialist, Hartech Ltd, the cost of which totalled £9,542. The 996 comes complete with an extensive service history and is currently looked after by Porsche specialists No.5 Garage, in Chiswick. Also included are two sets of keys, many original documents, old MoT records, the current UK registration and an MoT valid until 21st October 2024. A Carrera 4S with a manual gearbox is one of the best driving Porsches of the modern era, and this example is no exception. Consignor Daniel Godin

1995 Porsche 968 Sport Transmission: manualMileage:100036The UK-only version called '968 Sport' was offered in 1994 and 1995, it formed part of the run of 1,923 968 ClubSports produced by Porsche in that period. Although badged as '968 Sports' in the UK, all are genuine 'ClubSports' with the luxury package option, which included electric front windows, rear seats, a sunroof and other 'refinements' such as cloth comfort seats (different from both the standard and the ClubSport). With the added electrics, the larger wiring loom was used and the Sport variant also got back the two rear seats, again in the cloth material specific to the Sport.This 968 Sport was originally registered on 3rd February 1995. It has in recent times been modified for track use, although it is still road legal. Fitted with a welded-in half rollcage from Rollcentre Racing, and a Momo Racing Line steering wheel and an under bonnet torsion bar. Finished in the Rothmans/Porsche livery this Porsche is certainly an eye-catching example. Under the bonnet is the 3.0-litre 16-valve inline-four, which produces 237bhp and drives the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. Amongst the car's other performance modifications are a stainless-steel exhaust, uprated M030 anti-roll bars, Gaz adjustable coilover dampers, 993-turbo specification 'Big Red' front brakes (CompBrake) and longer front wheel studs, allowing spacers to be fitted if required. Supplied with a V5C registration document, we are advised the car will be presented for an MoT prior to auction. A selection of invoices come with the car confirming the timing belt was last changed in 2018 in November 2018 by Ninex Motorsport. More recent work has been carried out by marque specialist RSR. This Porsche 968 Sport is a tastefully modified example of the sought-after UK-market sports car, with eye-catching livery. It is offered in entirely usable condition and would make a fine entrant for track days thanks to its various motorsport-focused enhancements. Consignor Stewart Banks

1969 Morris Mini Mk. II Cooper S Transmission: manualMileage:31400Originally designed as a small affordable family car, the Mini quickly proved itself in many forms of motor sport. The most notable success was undoubtably the overall victory in the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally, the works Mini Cooper S ably piloted by Paddy Hopkirk with his navigator Henry Liddon. This victory, against considerably more powerful machinery, cemented the Mini's competition status.This stunning Mini Cooper S is presented in Almond Green with a Snowbury White roof. It was previously owned by two self-proclaimed Mini fanatics and restoring this car had become something of a passion, a read of the 1988 Restoring Classic Cars magazine charters their journey. Starting with a standard 1969 Cooper S the couple undertook a nut and bolt restoration with a twist. Although largely original, originality was never the goal in this project, the key was to fully future proof the car so much of the work was possibly unnecessary but an insistence on quality applied, something that can be seen some 35 years later!This car has certainly had plenty of expense lavished on it, now with a rebuilt 'A+' 1275cc inline-four engine driving the front wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox fitted in February 2018, at 27,400 miles after a rebuild to return the car to being a more relaxed road companion. The engine is currently running twin 1.5€ SU carburettors, CSI adjustable electronic ignition, and an open-road cam. Details can be found in the extensive history file stretching back over 35 years that begs to be read. Now running AVO adjustable shock absorbers and a rear anti-roll bar, while a free-flowing LCB manifold is complemented by a big-bore Maniflow exhaust. The braking system has been uprated to include vented discs, four-piston callipers and a remote servo.The headlamps have been converted to contemporary halogen units with LED side lights. The interior features black leather seats piped in green and Wood & Pickett period trim including tread-plates and chrome 'fly-off' handbrake. A modern stereo sits in the wooden dashboard. Recent expenditure includes new front discs and pads, Timken wheel bearings, new CV joints and front hubs. Although exempt, on the basis of age, the vehicle was MoT tested on 16 March 2022 at 31,301 miles when it received an advisory-free pass.Our vendor still tells us it is very fast for a mini, and would refer to it as a fast road spec but admitted it was an itch he had to scratch upon retirement to remember his own mini fondly. The car is in excellent condition and much can be accredited to the build by the Cotton's in the 80's though new sills and a rear subframe were fitted in the early 1990s. Having just 31,400 on the odometer and with such a detailed history, including a Heritage Certificate this is a fantastic 'fast road' Cooper S, offered ready to use and enjoy.

Treated to a new clutch in recent times the Boxster is reported by the vendor to drive very well indeed. Accompanying the vehicle is a history file containing the original Porsche service book pack with relevant stamps from main dealer and specialists alike with the most recent service carried out in 2023. Also included in the file are various bills for maintenance work, previous MoT test certificates, the UK registration document, and a current MoT valid until 28th August 2024.

A LARGE BLUE AND WHITE SIX-TUBE ARROW VASE, TOUHU, MING DYNASTY, TL TESTED 明代青花投壺式瓶Please note this Lot is to be sold at No Reserve. 本拍品不設底價Scientific Analysis Report: A thermoluminescence analysis report issued by Oxford Authentication on 15 February 2024, based on sample number P124b27, sets the firing date of two samples taken between 400 and 600 years ago, and hence is consitent with the dating of this lot. A copy of the report, signed by Helen Mason for Oxford Authentication, accompanies this lot.Expert’s note: The six small and rather unusual lion heads applied on the shoulder of the present vase once suspended bronze rings, which have long been lost to time. It is possible that these rings were used to keep score when playing touhu with this vase, since there is exactly one lion head for each of the six arrow tubes.China, 16th to early 17th century. The pear-shaped body supported on a waisted foot and rising to a slender neck, the mouth applied with six tubular arrow holes, the shoulder with six pierced lion heads. Finely decorated to the exterior in shades of cobalt blue with scholarly figures and their attendants inside a fenced garden with large willows, below a band of ruyi heads at the shoulder. The neck with three magpies on a prunus branch and a large pine tree, the mouth and arrow lugs with floral designs, the foot with a band of lotus petals.Provenance: From a private collection in Paris, France.Condition: Expected old wear and firing irregularities, including burst bubbles, black spots, firing cracks, glaze recesses, and kiln grit. The neck with a horizontal luting line showing an old fill, visible also on the inside, and associated glaze lines. Minor smoothened chips to the foot and occasional light scratches. Two holes from sample drilling.Weight: 3,136 g Dimensions: Height 38.3 cmArrow vases were made for a drinking game called ‘touhu’ (lit. ‘pitch-pot’), which had been popular among elite men and women from the Spring and Autumn period of the Eastern Zhou dynasty. The Ming-dynasty Emperor Xuande was known to be quite fond of the game, as evidenced by a painting of him playing touhu by Shan Xi (in the Palace Museum, Beijing). Players threw arrows into bronze or ceramic vases with narrow tubular necks at prescribed intervals, each player equidistant from the vase. The winner successfully projected all his arrows into the vase and the loser was forced to drink at each miss. Elaborate rituals and intricate rules, recorded in the Li Ji (Book of Rites), added further complexity to the game. Puzzling pitching techniques were described in the Touhu Yijie (Ceremonial Usages and Rules of Touhu), an illustrated manual written by Wang Ti (1490-1530), and these shots were given fancy names, like ‘A Pair of Dragons Enters the Sea’ when two arrows were thrown from a great height at once into the vase. The touhu game was used to practice archery, one of the essential accomplishments of a gentleman. Later in the Ming era, the game became more widespread, being played by rich merchants as well as the aristocracy and scholarly elite. A scene in the famous late Ming novel Jin Ping Mei (Plum Blossom in the Golden Vase), written in 1619, describes the wealthy merchant Ximen Qing's seduction of his concubine Panjinlian. She becomes inebriated while playing touhu on a picnic and the game leads to an amorous encounter. For a further discussion of the game see Isabelle Lee, Touhu: Three Millennia of the Chinese Arrow Vase and the Game of Pitch-pot, Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society, vol. 56, 1991-2, pp. 13-7.Literature comparison: Compare a related Cizhou painted arrow vase, 40 cm high, dated to the Ming dynasty, circa 1522-1566, in the collection of the British Museum, museum number 1937,0716.74.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Galerie Zacke, Vienna, 29 September 2022, lot 106 Price: EUR 26,000 or approx.

A FAN-SHAPED PAINTING ALBUM WITH 101 DIFFERENT INSECTS, FIRST HALF OF 20TH CENTURYPlease note this Lot is to be sold at No Reserve. 本拍品不設底價China. The bound book comprising twelve bi-fold panels showing approximately 101 insects naturalistically and neatly painted in ink and color on paper.Provenance: From a New York private collection. Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, some foxing, minimal soiling.Dimensions: Size 32.8 x 19.8 cmExpert’s note: The present lot probably served either as a painting manual, used by a student to practice, or as a workshop book, allowing a pupil to complete a work by his master as instructed. The absence of a signature or title – or any inscription as a matter of fact – indicates that this book was never intended to be sold. The quality and particularly the subject matter firmly place it in the circle of Qi Baishi (1863-1957), who taught himself how to paint using the famous Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden and often painted insects in his works. Many of his insects are, at the least, very similar to the ones found in the present book (see Figs. 1-3).

The translucent stone of a pale yellow color with areas of russet and cloudy white inclusions.Provenance: London, United Kingdom trade.Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and minuscule nibbling.Weight: 45.5 g Dimensions: Length 4.9 cmThe four arts (siyi), or the four essential arts of the Chinese scholar, were the four main academic and artistic talents required of the aristocratic ancient Chinese scholar-gentleman. They were the mastery of the qin (the guqin, a stringed instrument), weiqi (the strategy game of Go), shu (Chinese calligraphy) and hua (Chinese painting).Every scholar in Imperial China was expected to play the seven-stringed zither or qin. The board game of weiqi was considered equally a pastime and an art form. Chinese calligraphy was highly regarded as an expression of the practitioner's poetic nature and a significant test of manual dexterity. It comprises a minimalist set of rules which facilitates a system of complexity and grandeur. Finally, every scholar was expected to learn the art of brush painting, which was regarded as the greatest expression of individual creativity, through which one could demonstrate his mastery over the art of line.Auction result comparison:Type: RelatedAuction: Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 30 November 2017, lot 717Price: HKD 100,000 or approx.
