1956 Maserati 450S Recreation Transmission: manualMileage:The Maserati 450S was made for participating in FIA's endurance World Sportscar Championship racing with a total of just nine produced. Development of the 450S started in 1954 under the codename Tipo 54 led by Vittorio Bellentani and Guido Taddeucci. Their intent was to use larger engines than those already in use by Maserati. The initial development began with the engine, which was a 4477cc short-stroke V8 with four 45 IDM Weber carburettors mounted between the Vee rated at 400bhp. The Tipo 54 project was shelved in 1955 after a catastrophic crash at Le Mans. In early 1956, Tony Parravano, a wealthy American housing developer, commissioned Maserati to build a new large-bore V8 engine for use in a Kurtis Indy chassis. The car had an open top body designed by Medardo Fantuzzi resembling the 300S. The 4.5 litre V8 engine of the 450S was the largest racing engine developed by Maserati. The prototype made its racing debut at the 1956 Swedish Grand Prix, with the chassis being renumbered as 4501. The chassis proved unable to handle the power output of the V8 hampering the performance of the car so it was sent back to the factory where a purpose-built chassis having the same number as the prototype was constructed. 4501 was later entered at the 1957 Buenos Aires 1000km driven by Stirling Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio, before being redesigned as a coupé by Frank Costin of England, constructed by Zagato, and raced once again by Moss at Le Mans. The 405S Maserati’s were raced competitively at the world’s most prestigious race events throughout the 1950’s by Fangio, Jean Behra, Moss and Harry Schell to name but a few. This stunning recreation of the iconic 450S is a remarkable, lightweight, aluminium coachbuilt example crafted by Bob Ford and finished in Rosso Red paintwork complemented by black leather trim with a quilted transmission tunnel and door cards. The car has clearly been very well appointed and, boasting a rebuilt 305ci 5.0 litre Chevrolet V8, sounds the part as well, offering up suitable power to propel it swiftly past the legal speed limits while turning heads wherever it goes. The build included work by March Engineering on a donor Daimler chassis in 1984 (the V5C date of registration) and the car has covered less than 4,000 miles since and been in the hands of only a few enthusiastic owners. We are informed it is a beautiful car to drive with balanced handling together with the ample performance. The car is supplied with a history file and UK V5C registration document and has been impeccably cared for with works that have recently included an impressive respray, a new carburettor, a new distributor cap and a new fuel pressure regulator. Replicating the evocative curves of the most iconic race cars from the 1950’s era of motorsport, this fabulous example is enough to make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck and viewing is certainly recommended.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1961 Saab 96 FIA race/rally car Transmission: manualMileage:67060Svenska Aeroplan Aktie Bolaget: the acronym SAAB leaves no doubt about the vocation of the company that, before IKEA, taught us how to appreciate the pragmatic creativity of the Swedes. The Swedish engineers wisely focused on a simple, light, affordable and reliable product: a small vehicle that used a light weight and aerodynamics to make up for the lack of horsepower, built on a simple chassis frame with a two-door body style in which anything superfluous has been eliminated. ‘Lateral thinking’ was also applied to the engine; given that the best car engine was a six-cylinder with medium-high displacement and considering that the SAAB would not have been able to cope with the bulk, weight and cost, the engineers decided to install a two stroke three-cylinder engine!  The greater simplicity and absence of vibration, with the high specific power, made it a perfect alternative for anyone ready to look beyond the conventional.  These characteristics also made it possible to use the 96 in competitions and, above all, in rallies, a specialty long dominated by Scandinavian drivers - the most famous SAAB driver possibly being Erik Carlsson.Originally built in 1960, this Saab 96 wasn’t road registered until 1961. Having spent most of its life as a standard road car, the decision was taken in the early 2000’s to convert it into a Group 2 race car. The accompanying substantial history file shows many pictures, race programs and notes, (in Swedish) from its racing career in Sweden. In 2007 the car was purchased and imported to the UK where it was modified to fit in with the FIA CT1 Competition Touring Car Class. Invoices for various preparation work carried out are included in the file and show several thousand pounds spent with renowned single seater specialist Mark Linstone. Forming part of a large collection of race cars, the vendor has decided to reduce his stable and, despite having just rebuilt the engine to a very high specification, (at a reported cost of £10,000), has decided it is one of the cars that has to go. Indeed, it has only raced once since the engine was rebuilt, with all the safety equipment such as seat, seat belts and fire extinguisher all being in date as well.Supplied with its UK V5C registration document, FIA papers valid through until the end of 2026 and substantial history file. A quirky motorsport legend, this car is eligible to run in most historic touring car series, (having run mainly with Julius Thurgood’s HRDC in the UK) and would potentially be eligible for the Goodwood Revival.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1965 David Brown 770 Selectamatic Transmission: manualMileage:Probably better known for his ownership of Aston Martin from 1947 to 1972, David Brown become M.D. of the family business, David Brown Gear Company Ltd in 1931. He turned to tractor manufacturing in 1936 in collaboration with Harry Ferguson, manufacturing the Ferguson-Brown tractor in West Yorkshire. The company broke new ground which others were only to follow later, but being a pioneering company ultimately led to its downfall. The Ferguson-Brown had many innovative features, including the use of cast alloy for many components which was light but prone to damage. David Brown Ltd became one of the largest manufacturers of tractors, however the owner’s continued subsidisation of Aston Martin was unsustainable, and the sports car maker was sold in 1972. The tractor division was purchased by Tenneco International and re-badged the product as ‘Case’.Manufactured in 1965, this 770 Selectamatic tractor is thought to have spent its early life working on farms in the North of England. It was restored to a good standard throughout 2013 and 2014 by its then owner who had owned this David Brown for circa 28 years at that stage. It was then sold to the current vendor in 2015 who has used it sparingly throughout his ownership. Being a tractor enthusiast and owning several David Browns he has always ensured this 770 has continued to be well cared for; it has a new battery and started on the button during our visit. The tractor’s hydraulics and power take off are in good working order, meaning that the tractor can be used as intended. Now registered with the DVLA and bearing the index number FNA 850C, this three-cylinder 35 horsepower tractor has a 12-speed gearbox. Supplied with a V5C registration document, this example is ready to be used and is one not to be missed.Guide £6,000-£8,500Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1928 Humber 9/20HP Saloon Transmission: manualMileage:14249Founded as a bicycle maker in 1868, Humber later became associated with Harry Lawson’s British Motor Syndicate, from which it purchased rights to various unlikely automobiles. Freeing itself from Lawson, the reconstituted company commenced motor car production in 1900 with the M D Voiturette, a front wheel drive, rear-wheel steered car. A more conventional range of shaft driven De Dion powered light cars soon followed. Four-cylinder 12hp and 20hp, designed by Louis Coatalen, had been added by 1903 but that year’s most significant introduction was the Humberette, powered by a 5hp single-cylinder engine, it was the first Humber motor car to be produced in significant numbers. 1923 was an important year for Humber, marking as it did the adoption across the range of a new inlet over exhaust engines, replacing the side valve units and the introduction of a new luxury small car, the 985cc 8hp (later called the 8/18hp). Very much a ‘big car in miniature’ and generously equipped by the standards of the day, the latter developed through the 1,056cc, 9/20 to the improved 9/28hp introduced in 1929.This pretty 1928 Humber 9/20HP was purchased by the seller in 1970 and according to the old buff continuation book he is the fourth owner. In the 1980s he set about rebuilding the car as a doctors coupé but on removing the American cloth fabric found the body frame was in poor condition and was not suited for this type of conversion. So, a second decision was made to shorten the rear of the body by 14” and install a boot with a spare wheel. The original short front wings were replaced with a longer design and the brakes were modified to provide four-wheel braking on the foot pedal. After returning to the road in 1993 it was used in a number of navigational rallies and found that it cruises at 40-45mph, gets 30mpg and completes 30 miles in the hour on cross country journeys. Finished in brown fabric with black wings and the original brown interior which is in very good condition, this 9/20HP is supplied with a V5 registration document and a file containing the buff logbook, invoices and manuals.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2000 Mini Cooper Sport Transmission: manualMileage:18150The Mini was manufactured by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered a British icon of the 1960s and its space-saving front-wheel drive layout allowing 80% of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage, influenced a generation of car makers. In 1999, the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century behind the Ford Model T. Initially Minis were marketed under the Austin and Morris names until Mini became a marque in its own right in 1969. The Mini was again marketed under the Austin name in the 1980's and was offered in a number of limited editions that usually included a special combination of trim and badging.Registered new on 30th September 2000, this wonderfully presented, one lady owner from new example is offered in red coachwork over a grey interior and is in very good condition throughout. The paintwork is bright and retains a deep shine and the interior is virtually unmarked. The Mini has covered a mere 18,150 miles and comes with a history file including various service records, old MoT test certificates, the UK V5 registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 30th August 2022. Original Mini's have seen a recent resurgence in demand resulting in an inevitable increase in price and this one looks to be very good value given its excellent history.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2020 Ford GT40 Mk. I Evocation by Southern GT Transmission: manualMileage:188The Ford GT40 is synonymous with Le Mans but was first seen at the Nürburgring in May 1964. The Mk. I was the original Ford GT40 but met little success in its initial tune for the 1964 and 1965 Le Mans races. The first success came after their demise at the Nassau Speed Weekend in November 1964 when the racing was handed over to Carrol Shelby. Shelby's team modified the Ford GT40 and the first win at Daytona February 1965 was achieved. 31 Mk. I examples were built at the Slough factory in ‘road’ trim, which differed little from the race versions. Wire wheels, carpet, ruched fabric map pockets in the doors and a cigarette lighter made up most of the changes.Registered new on 1st December 2020, this Superb Mk. I Southern GT has been meticulously constructed in recent years and has covered less than 500 miles since the build. Finished in the classic GT40 livery of Midnight Blue coachwork with white stripes, this example looks superb! The interior too is very well presented and includes Luke five-point harness seatbelts, Smiths Instruments, a 12 Volt socket, air conditioning, immobiliser, and a heated windscreen. Also installed is the correct Mk. I GT40 style right hand gear change and detachable steering wheel. The chassis was professionally powder coated and fitted with a Ford 302 V8 engine stroked to 347 which is mated to a UN1 five-speed manual gearbox. AP Racing brake discs and calipers are fitted all round and are coupled with three spoke knock off spinner alloy wheels.Our vendor reports that the GT40 is exceptionally fast and sounds fantastic when on song. The sizeable history file that accompanies this car includes all invoices from the build, many sundry bills, a spare key and the UK V5 registration document. Fitted with two uprated fuel tanks and new Avon tyres all-round, the GT40 is ready to be enjoyed by its new custodian. Not all GT40 replicas are created equally, this is an outstanding example both mechanically and cosmetically. Built to a very high standard, it is a faithful and accurate recreation that allows for track day and road use.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 Lancia Fulvia Series 2 1.3 S Transmission: manualMileage:60078The Lancia Fulvia was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1963 with production running all the way through to 1976. The Fulvia is notable for its role in motor racing history, including winning the International Rally Championship in 1972. On testing it in 1967, Road and Track summed up the Fulvia as ‘a precision motorcar, an engineering tour de force’. The Fulvia Berlina was designed by Antonio Fessia to replace the Lancia Appia with which it shared almost no components. The Appia was a rear wheel drive car, however, the Fulvia moved to front wheel drive like the Flavia. The general engineering design of the Fulvia was identical to that of the Flavia with the major exception of the engine; the Flavia having a four cylinder horizontally opposed engine and the Fulvia a 'narrow angle' vee configuration as featured on most production Lancias. The Fulvia used a longitudinal engine mounted in front of its transaxle. An independent suspension in front, used wishbones and a single leaf spring, while a solid axle with a panhard rod and leaf springs were used in the rear. Four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes were fitted to the first series Fulvia. With the introduction of the second series in 1970, the brakes were uprated with larger Girling calipers all round and a brake servo.This nice example originated in South Africa and was imported to the UK in July 1975 when it shows its first registration on these shores according to the V5C. It is presented in Grigio Patrizi Metallic (grey/silver metallic) with a black interior including HF front seats and interior styling. It sports a wooden HF steering wheel and in 2010 this Lancia was restored by Classic Lancia Restorations to ‘1600 HF specifications’ including 14X6J Cromadora wheels painted in gold which looks stunning. Since the present owner purchased the car in 2011, it has been serviced by Peter Harding Classic Restorations in Hampshire, where general mechanical maintenance work was also carried out (invoices in history file). Its 1.3 engine starts on the button and sounds crisp, providing this Italian classic with spritely performance and is a joy to drive according to the owner. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1993 Bentley Continental R (special order for Rolex CEO) Transmission: manualMileage:30358Since 1921, the Bentley name has remained synonymous with prestige, performance and luxury. The 'Continental' designation recalls the Bentley Continental of the post-war period. The 'R' resonates to the R-Type Bentleys from the 1950s as well as the Turbo R of the 1980s. Bentley's 1980s resurgence relied exclusively on models whose basic architecture was shared with other Rolls-Royce models however; the Bentley Continental R was unique to the Bentley marque. Despite the need to incorporate non-traditional features such as doors recessed into the roof, the result looked every bit a Bentley, albeit one re-stated for the 1990s. Needless to say, the performance was outstanding, the combination of the Turbo R engine in the new wind-cheating shape cutting the 0-60mph time to under six seconds and boosting a top speed in excess of 150mph.This striking and collectable Continental R was first registered on 1st January 1993 to the CEO of Rolex who special ordered this car with a host of Mulliner upgrades, the most striking of all was the Emerald Green special-order paint, the same colour of the Rolex watch boxes. According to the sales invoice the price when new was £146,000 and K665 MCL is trimmed with Parchment leather and is now showing a warranted mileage of just 30,358. Offered with the build sheets and book pack in a comprehensive history file, we are advised in early 2020 £3,900 was spent on service work with little mileage covered since. The lavish specification includes an up to date satellite navigation system and a £3,000 television to the rear, this is truly a one-off car combining two of the most iconic international brands, special ordered by Rolex and fulfilled by Mulliner for Bentley.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 GEL Transmission: automaticMileage:126000The 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.Registered new on 1st August 1991, this automatic 3.0 litre GEL Mercedes G-Wagon presents well in black over grey trim and fitted with a new exterior bodykit package to provide the car with a modern G-Wagon appearance. These desirable long wheelbase examples are incredibly competent and this is no exception. Having recently benefitted from a service which included an oil change, new front discs and pads and a replacement exhaust. Within the history file are receipts from the maintenance history and an original owner’s manual coupled to an MoT test certificate valid until June 2022 with no advisories.  Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 Jaguar E-Type Series III Fixedhead Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:52000The Series III fulfils a roll in the E-Type line-up missed by previous generations by adding 6” into the wheelbase thus allowing the more mature and taller driver to enjoy the visceral experience first penned by Jaguar’s chief designer back with the Series I in the mid-1960s. Albeit now with a smother 12-cylinder power plant, generally more space and a slightly more comfortable interior.The history for this good-looking fixedhead example remains reassuringly continuous throughout most of its lifetime right back to invoices pre-1979 and then later that year when it was taken to the Webasto factory for its sunroof to be fitted. Servicing bills as well as general upkeep continue through the 1980s with splined hubs for wire wheels fitted in 1988. Earlier this year, the carburettors have been serviced with all clutch and brake ancillaries, servos and pads replaced. The colour scheme is amongst the most desirable with British Racing Green paintwork, matching interior leather in good condition and green carpets. The mileage appears correct and the overall impression inspires confidence.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1961 MG A Coupé (1600) Transmission: manualMileage:When the MGA arrived in 1955, it must have come as quite a shock to MG aficionados who had become accustomed to the pre-war look of the company's sports cars. It was a complete departure in styling and its beautiful, streamlined body was right up to the minute in terms of appearance. It was powered by a new engine; MG had decided that the old XPAG unit had had its day and so introduced a much more modern B Series engine that had made its debut in the recently announced Magnette saloon. The 'A' was officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955. Only 5,869 cars were sold on the home market, giving the MGA the highest export percentage of any British car and was replaced by the MGB in May 1962.This delightful example of the MGA is presented in a modern grey with complementary red trim, it was first registered on 24th April 1961 making this a late car in the production life of the A. The chromework is all in very good order including the optional luggage holder, the interior befits a restored example such as this and is indeed a lovely place to be. The engine bay is simply lovely and upon inspecting this car it certainly gives the impression that it has been a labour of love and is a cherished example. In this condition, this is a very desirable British sports car perfect for weekend blasts in the countryside or touring further afield and viewing highly recommended.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1999 Mercedes-Benz SL320 Transmission: manualMileage:90000Unveiled at the March 1989 Geneva Motor Show, the new Mercedes-Benz R129 Series SL range was beautifully engineered. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell, its sophisticated, all-round independent suspension (double-wishbone front/five-link rear) was augmented by a host of active and passive safety features including electronic stability control, ventilated ABS disc brakes, adaptive-damping shock absorbers, front airbags and an integral rollover bar that deployed in less than a third of a second if the car ever sensed an impending flip. Suitably cosseting, the convertible's impeccably built cabin consisted of a fully automated power hood and featured such advancements as memory seats, electric windows/mirrors and an adjustable steering column. Yet lurking beneath all the luxury and refinement was a performance orientated sports car.This lovely example is presented in metallic Azurite Blue with blue Nappa leather interior. It comes with electric adjustable memory front seats, Becker radio, electric hood (blue) and factory hardtop. This car also comes with a good service history which has mainly been carried out by Mercedes-Benz main dealerships, with only a couple of specialists stamps in the service book, which is rare and reassuring. These models are highly desirable and with only 90,000 miles showing on the odometer and presented in good condition throughout, this example surely is a great investment.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2000 Porsche Boxster Transmission: manualMileage:39488The first-generation Boxster (the 986) was introduced in late 1996 and was powered by a 2.5 litre flat, six-cylinder engine. Harm Lagaay's design, inspired by the 356 Speedster and 550 Spyder, stimulated a commercial turnaround for Porsche. Many believe the introduction of the Boxster helped save Porsche from acquisition. It was Porsche's first water-cooled, non-front engine sports car as the Boxster is mid-engine, while in the 911, rear-engine. This layout provided a low centre of gravity, near-perfect weight distribution and good handling. In 2000, the new Boxster S variant was introduced with a larger 3.2 litre engine and the base model received a more powerful 2.7 litre engine. In 2003, styling and engine output was upgraded on both variants. Production of the 986 began at the former Porsche 928 facility in Stuttgart, Germany in 1996. The Boxster was Porsche's biggest volume seller from its introduction in 1996 until the company introduced the Cayenne sport utility vehicle in 2003.This lovely example in dark metallic grey with black leather interior is presented in good condition throughout and comes with air conditioning, electric windows and has a valid MoT test certificate which expires October 2022. It is powered by the smooth 2.7 litre engine mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. It also comes with two sets of keys and has had three former keepers.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1953 Land Rover Series I 80" Transmission: manualMileage:103In the aftermath of the Second World War, Rover's chief engineer Maurice Wilks used a ‘demobbed' Willys Jeep around his farm in Anglesey and was impressed with its abilities. Eventually, it wore out and he was keen to replace it with a British vehicle, however, nothing remotely similar was available. Coincidentally, his brother Spencer, who was Managing Director at Rover, had reached the same conclusion as he struggled to get his Rover 10 to reach the more inaccessible parts of his estate on Islay. This is where `The Best 4x4 by Far' started - a utility vehicle devised in 1947, they would have no idea that Maurice's resulting design would become an icon and launch a whole new industry sector. The vehicle appeared as the 'Land Rover' in 1948 and proved so popular with the military and the farming fraternity that demand massively outstripped supply.This Series I Land Rover was supplied new in ‘kit form’ to Australia in 1953, which was common for the era. In 2016 the car was repatriated to the UK and the vendor set about carrying out a total nut and bolt restoration from top to bottom. The bodywork was bare metal stripped and any corrosion cut-out and repaired as necessary. The paint remains in exceptional condition with all the body panels visually straight. Mechanically this Series I has been very well sorted, the engine was stripped, rebored and rebuilt using as many new parts as possible. The axles were overhauled as was the gearbox. A comprehensive selection of photographs depicts the extent of the restoration, the fastidious vendor even made sure he replaced most of the nuts and bolts with the original ones estimating that these alone cost him circa £1,000. Having covered just 103 miles since the restoration and only being sold due to health issues, this Land Rover Series I is a fine example and viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the extent of the rebuild and quality. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2004 Renault Avantime 'Dynamique' Transmission: manualMileage:109000Having invested a staggering 1.4bn francs (€285m) into development of the world’s first MPV coupé, Renault's futuristic vanity exercise came at quite a price. Remarkably true to the original design, the 'Avantime', was a genuine mould-breaker that offered a luxurious glass cabin with ‘Theatre’ seating, galvanized load-bearing chassis, pillarless side windows and a full panoramic sliding glass roof. The view of the road was commanding and the performance sufficient to ensure that A & B roads were navigated swiftly with great poise and grace. With just 452 cars sold in the UK during the two-year production, only half the remaining cars are thought to have been preserved.Registered in March 2004, this Avantime 'Dynamique' is the very last of the UK two-Litre turbo cars to have been registered. Specified in metallic bright 'Illiad blue' with silver roof-rails, it features a six-speed manual transmission and black, half-leather upholstery. Both original keys remain with the car, along with Renault’s leather zipper wallet and owner’s manual. The car is privately entered by a Sussex collector, presents very well and, we've been reassured, a new MoT test certificate will be organised in advance of the auction. Avantime's have started to be widely appreciated by collectors for their unique combination of design flair and performance features and Historics are delighted to be able to offer to you the last of this very small production run.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1980 Porsche 911 / 930 Turbo with RUF upgrades Transmission: manualMileage:65000In the early 1970's, Porsche had designs on racing a turbocharged version of the 911 and the Porsche 911 Turbo or 930 was born. It was the fastest production car available on the market. Adding this level of power to the already powerful car created a vehicle that was not for the faint hearted. In skilled hands, however, a 930 will show a clean pair of heels to most of its rivals. It was based around the Carrera RS 3.0, the engine from which was modified, courtesy of turbo technology. Initially, power output was 260bhp but from 1978, it was increased to 300bhp by raising the engine capacity to 3.3 litres as is the case in this instance.Appearing to originally sell in Japan, this 3.3 litre model was then re-imported back to Europe in 2019. Needless to say, VAT and duty has been accounted for and a UK V5C and MoT test certificate can be found within the history file. It would also appear that, in 2016, the engine & gearbox was dropped out for an engine rebuild with heads off and pistons and liners refitted with specialists, ‘Autoumbau Porsche’ in Bedfordshire with a total bill of a shade under £10,000. At the same time, correct and period leather seats were installed as well as a decent service, chain tensioners, pipe-work and new sound-deadener. In addition to this mechanically clean bill of health, German specialist, RUF, have supplied a number of upgrades for this car including dials, gearstick and the all-important boost-control. The classic 930 Turbo will always stand out as the 911 to have and the specification here is great.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1964 Jaguar Mk. II (3.8 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:66114Synonymous with the swinging ‘60’s and the hit TV series, Inspector Morse, the Jaguar Mk. II Saloon has been used as a vehicle to transport everyone from dignitaries and politicians to bank robbers and the criminal select. Desirable due to being a well-balanced saloon car with space for four adults and a good size boot, it also boasted engine options including the mighty Jaguar 3.8 litre power unit; small wonder it became popular as a getaway vehicle. When released, traditional Jaguar buyers had no need to feel alienated by the new offering from Coventry as the interior was up to their usual standards with leather and walnut being the order of the day.This Jaguar Mk. II was first registered on 16th December 1964 and presents in delightful condition. The red coachwork is in good order as is the interior trim. The 3.8 litre engine is mated to a manual gearbox with overdrive resulting in this being a great car to drive with ample performance and good roadholding. Sitting proudly on a relatively new set of chrome wire wheels, this Jaguar comes with a large history folder confirming it has been a well looked after example. The XK engine started on the button when requested and ran smoothly with good oil pressure, she is described by the vendor as driving with no known faults. The chromework on this Jaguar is in good condition, open the driver’s door and the aesthetically pleasing dashboard is also in good order. The history folder confirms the mileage of 25,771 back in 1970, it is thought the odometer reading of 66,114 is correct although this is not warranted. Supplied with a V5C registration document, this Mk. II 3.8 offers presence, style and comfort in abundance.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1984 Land Rover Series III Transmission: manualMileage:46500Land Rovers were inspired by the US-built Willys Jeep immediately after the war and by 1992, Land Rover claimed that 70% of all the vehicles they had ever built were still in use. Before the war, Rover had produced luxury cars which ceased to be in demand in the immediate post-war period and raw materials were strictly rationed to those companies building construction or industrial equipment. Rover's original factory in Coventry had also been bombed, forcing the company to move into a huge factory it had built in Solihull to construct aircraft. The Series III is the most common vehicle, with 440,000 of the type built from 1971 to 1985. The headlights were moved to the wings and the traditional metal grille featured on its predecessor, was replaced with a plastic one. The production run for the Series III was from 1971 through to 1985 and during this cycle (1976) the 1,000,000th Land Rover rolled off the production line. The Series III saw many changes in the later part of its life as Land Rover updated the design to meet increased competition.This great looking Land Rover was originally registered and used by The British Army. The spare wheel is bonnet mounted to allow for additional room in the load space area. This long wheel base example has benefitted from recent works which includes a rebuild of the 2.3 litre petrol engine, a new clutch and four new tyres. These superb vehicles are the ultimate utilitarian mode of transport, happy on the road and equally as happy driving through a muddy field. Supplied with a UK V5C registration document and, unusually, some army history in addition to several recent invoices.

1966 Ford Mustang Fastback Transmission: automaticMileage:55150The Ford Mustang was the brainchild of Lee Iacocca and was branded as the first 'Pony Car', borne out of a need to compete with the flood of European sportscars coming into the USA in the sixties. The first production Mustang rolled off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan on 9th March 1964 and was introduced to the public at the New York World's Fair on 17th April 1964.Manufactured in 1966 at the Dearborn plant, this Mustang Fastback is presented in metallic blue with black leather trim. Fully restored in 2014, it was purchased by the current owner in 2015. This automatic 2+2 Fastback boasts a 289 C-Code engine which sounds glorious upon start-up and is coupled to a GT twin exhaust system. Sitting on GT Cobra 17 inch wheels with uprated GT lights, this example boast all disc brakes with new pads, a centre console and power steering. Available in the history file, a 16 pages report and full car survey from March 2021 by Classic Car Surveys describes the car as exceptional and is valued at £37,000. Offered for sale with a UK V5, Haynes’s manual and an MoT test certificate until July 2022, this is a car that never fails to impress and gathers admiring glances wherever it goes.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1968 Lotus Elan plus 2 Transmission: manualMileage:63790Launched by Lotus in 1962, the two-seater Elan which had been a classic GT style 2+2 model was developed using a stretched chassis and widened track to accommodate two small rear seats. Improvements to the interior and the addition of front fog lights, in 1969, characterised the new Elan +2S but it wasn't until the much-awaited big valve head engines arrived early in 1971 that the Elan +2 really came of age thanks to the new 126bhp output. Known as the Elan Sprint, the same engine was transplanted into the +2S to create the Elan +2S 130. This version was capable of 125mph and 0-60 in just 7.4 seconds. It wasn't just the rapid performance that boosted Lotus's image but the fact that this model was the first that Lotus chose not to supply in kit form.This example has recently been imported from South Africa where it resided in a private collection. Presented in Team Lotus livery, the coachwork is well although there are some minor blemishes as you would expect for a car of this age. The interior is also in presentable order displaying a light patina. Powered by a 20 valve ‘silver top’ 4A-GE Toyota engine producing 160bhp and mated to a five-speed Toyota gearbox, this is a very fast example indeed and fitted with the desirable Toyota running gear it is rare opportunity not to be missed. The car is offered with an MoT test certificate valid until October 2022, UK Taxes paid documents and the NOVA form, ready for UK registration. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2004 Aston Martin Vanquish 2+2 Transmission: automaticMileage:35250An entirely new Aston Martin for the 21st Century, the Vanquish debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2001, with deliveries commencing a few months later. The Vanquish took over from the Vantage V8 with the Newport Pagnell factory undergoing an extensive multi-million pound refurbishment to accommodate it, gaining a new assembly line, paint shop, rolling road and water test facility. Styled by Ian Callum, the man responsible for the DB7, the Vanquish was developed with assistance from Aston Martin’s parent company Ford using constructional techniques more advanced than those of any current road car of that time. The 6.0 litre, 48 valve, V12 engine, the first of its type for Aston Martin, developed 460bhp at 6,800rpm, 400lb/ft of torque available at 5,500 revs. The state-of-the-art electronic engine management system provided ‘drive by wire’ throttle control and was linked to the six-speed manual gearbox’s electro-hydraulic change mechanism, a first for a production car. The gearchange was controlled by F1-style paddles and could be operated in either of two modes, fully manual or computer controlled automatic, with a ‘sport’ setting available on both. It was an instant sales success and its choice as transport for James Bond only added to the appeal. This truly stunning Aston Martin Vanquish 2+2 has only covered 35,250 miles and was supplied new in March 2004. The impressive list of factory fitted items include 19” multi spoke wheels, Xenon headlights, Alcantara roof lining, heated electric seats and the magnificent Linn audio upgrade with subwoofer. The service history is just as impressive and features ten main dealer stamps with the most recent service at 31,453 miles. This Aston Martin Vanquish is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in July 2022. Ever since the introduction of the DB9, Aston Martin have built a reputation for building the ultimate Gran Turismo cars, a combination of high performance with ultimate luxury and the Vanquish certainly continues this trend.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1995 BMW M3 Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:74000The E36 was BMW’s third generation of the popular executive car range. This variant was created to replace the, already successful, E30 chassis platform and benefited from a multilink rear suspension set-up that improved handling characteristics dramatically.This particular car was the flagship M3 variant offered in a bright Hellrot paint with the sought after Alcantara and cloth 'Vader' interior. The M3 was designed to give the driver a more focused and performance orientated driving experience. Powered by a high revving 3.0 litre engine producing an impressive 286bhp, the M3 had heaps of performance within a car that could be used every day. The M3 also benefited from improved brakes and a limited slip differential to separate it from the rest of the BMW range. The M3’s potential, affordable price tag and usability, propelled the car to automotive superstardom making it the benchmark coupé that other manufactures aim to compete with. The skyrocketing residual values of the earlier generation M3’s has had a halo effect on the rest of the BMW range over the last few years, meaning well maintained examples of the E36 are at an all-time high, making them highly desirable to any budding driver and collector looking for a fun vehicle to invest in.Specified from new with a five-speed manual gearbox, limited slip differential, E36 M3 'Vader' seats, electric sunroof, mirrors and windows and 'EVO' boot spoiler. Impressive provenance and history (with many stamps in the book), including the original driver’s manual, stamped maintenance book and black BMW wallet are found in the comprehensive history file accompanying this car. This is a stunning example of a truly eye-catching car which is certainly a future benchmark classic; certainly, one of the best we have had for sale for a long time and it even comes with its original toolkit!Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1971 Triumph TR6 Transmission: manualMileage:3746The Triumph TR6 was manufactured for seven years from 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 desirable ‘CP’ 150bhp TR6 is a UK home market supplied example and is presented in red coachwork over a black interior and comes complete with a Mohair hood and desirable factory hardtop. The general condition of the Triumph is good and the paintwork, which has recently been treated to an extensive respray presents very well. Still retaining its original registration number, the TR6 also comes complete with its desirable factory hardtop. The history file that accompanies the car includes many old tax discs, various sundry bills, an invoice detailing the recent extensive respray (£4,030), photos of a previous restoration and 28 MoT test certificates. This well-presented example with its sizeable history file is a fantastic opportunity to acquire an original 150bhp, right hand drive Triumph TR6. Good examples are difficult to come across and this one should certainly not be overlooked. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1968 MGB Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:56739The MGB is a sports car launched in May 1962 to replace the MGA. Introduced as a four-cylinder roadster, a coupé with 2+2 seating was added in 1965. The MGB was a relatively modern design at the time of its introduction, utilising a monocoque structure instead of the traditional 'body-on-frame' construction used on both the MGA and MG T-types. The lightweight design reduced manufacturing costs while adding to overall vehicle strength. Wind-up windows were standard and a comfortable driver's compartment offered plenty of legroom. The MGB's performance was considered brisk at the time of its introduction with a 0-60mph time of just over 11 seconds aided by the relatively lightweight of the car. Handling was one of the MGB's strong points. The three-bearing 1798cc B-Series engine produced 95bhp at 5400rpm and the engine was upgraded in October 1964 to a five-bearing crankshaft in an effort to improve reliability. The MGB was one of the first cars to feature controlled crumple zones designed to protect the driver and passenger in a 30mph impact.This good looking MGB was registered on 23rd December 1968 and presents extremely well in the striking colour combination of black with a piped red interior and black roof. The looks of this desirable MG are enhanced by wire wheels with ‘knock off’ spinners. An updated stereo completes the driving pleasure, and we are informed by the vendor that XDH 999G is a joy to drive. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, this sensibly priced roadster is ready for a new owner on what will soon be its 53rd birthday.      Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda Transmission: manualMileage:25953The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production till February 1971. An all new designed by Paul Bracq to replace the 190SL and 300SL Roaster. The 280 SL had a powerful 2.8 litre version of Mercedes inline-six and used Bosch fuel injection. To save on weight, the bonnet, doorskins, boot lid, and tonneau cover were all composed of aluminium. The nickname 'Pagoda' was quickly adopted thanks to the slightly concave roof on the optional removable hardtop that resembled a pagoda roof. The comparatively short and wide chassis, combined with an excellent suspension, powerful disc brakes and radial tyres gave the W113 superb handling for its time. These roadsters also have one of the most beautiful bodies produced in the 1960s. Thanks to their robust inline-six and their luxurious Mercedes interior, they are wonderful cars to be driven and enjoyed. The styling of the front paid homage to the legendary 300SL with its characteristic upright Bosch ‘fishbowl’ headlights and simple chrome grille, dominated by the large three-pointed star in the nose panel.This good, left hand drive Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda was supplied new to the USA in 1970 and was fitted with the rare four speed manual gearbox, power assisted steering, disc brakes and factory alloy wheels. Imported into the United Kingdom about three years ago from California, USA and put into a private collection, this car has been recently registered and issued with a UK V5C registration document. Finished in silver metallic (180) with the original black interior and black soft top, this Mercedes Pagoda is supplied with the UK registration documents and photocopies of the US title certificate. This is the ideal car to look forward to using next summer either for local trips to the pub or, maybe a long tour of Europe.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1960 Jaguar Mk. IX Transmission: manualMileage:85648The Jaguar Mk. IX was produced between 1959 and 1961 and replaced the previous Mk. VIII. Standard transmission was a four-speed manual system; options included overdrive but most cars were built with a Borg Warner three-speed automatic gearbox. Internally, an enlarged-bore 3.8 litre, 220bhp DOHC straight-six replaced the previous 3.4 litre unit with two SU carburettors were fitted. Four-wheel servo assisted Dunlop disc brakes and recirculating ball power steering was now standard equipment. The torsion bar independent front suspension and leaf-sprung rear live axle were retained from the Mk. VIII. The body was generally similar to its predecessor but the sunshine roof became a standard fitting for the UK market. The interior was in the same luxurious mode with extensive use of leather, walnut wood trim and deep pile carpet. The Mk. IX's power and good brakes for a vehicle of that era, together with its undoubtedly impressive aesthetic appearance, makes it quite a common choice for the classic car market.Originally registered on 21st October 1960 this handsome Jaguar is resplendent in two-tone coachwork black over Sherwood. The interior is well patinated and has the comfort one would expect of such a prestigious manufacturer. Showing three former keepers on the V5 document, this imposing saloon is fitted with manual transmission and an overdrive unit, together with a sunroof. We are advised by the vendor she drives well with no known faults. This is an elegant and charming saloon and a fine example of British engineering at its best.  Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1967 Triumph GT6 Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:69463 The GT6 was launched in 1966 as a fastback version of the popular Spitfire model. Powered by 2.0 litre engine from the Triumph 2000 the model enjoyed a production run until 1973. This new model, like the Spitfire, inherited what was essentially the Triumph Heralds chassis and running gear which had already proved capable of handling six-cylinder power when developed for the Vitesse saloon. With brisk performance and stylish looks the GT6 deserved its nickname of the ‘baby E-Type’ and today it is one of the most sought after post-war Triumph sports cars.Originally registered on 17th May 1967, this stunning GT6 presents wonderfully in Signal Red with a contrasting black interior. The car has benefitted from just three long term owners and retains a lot of its essential originality. The vendor tells us that when he purchased the car from its second owner, a rather strong-willed, former air hostess, he was ‘interviewed’ for his suitability in becoming the much-cherished cars new keeper. The impressive file for this attractive matching numbers Triumph contains previous MoT test certificates, various receipts and bills and shows a comprehensive recommissioning in 2009 costing £6,863. Also present is a Heritage Certificate confirming its matching numbers status and that the car was built with the option of a heater, wire wheels and windscreen washers. A copy of Triumph Sportscars by Andrea and David Sparrow is included in the sale and features OPK 640E. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, this well documented example with an interesting history and verifiable low-milage is realistically priced and could prove to be a fine future investment.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1971 Jaguar E-Type Series III 2+2 Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:76252By the mid-1960s, the Jaguar E-Type was appealing to the man with a young family but who were restricted by the size of the current Jaguar E-Type Coupé and its open topped sibling. This prompted Jaguar to offer a third option in the form of a 2+2 Coupé. By adding nine inches to the wheelbase and two inches in height, it was then possible to fit a rear seat capable of seating two adults in tolerable comfort. Of course, the rear seat was more suited to children or, as 'The Motor' put it at the time, the car could 'extend dad's youth for another seven years'. Robert Bell in Motor was quoted as saying at the time that all we expected to try was a new engine but what in fact we drove was a new car. Not a yowling, aggressive Ferrari-like machine with which, perhaps, most people associate a V12 engine but a very smooth, quiet and refined grand touring sports car.Manufactured on 3rd March 1971, this E-Type was built as a left hand drive model and was intended to be sold in Italy. However, as the Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirms, this order was cancelled and the car remained with Jaguar Cars. The car appears to have undergone a colour change from light blue to British Racing Green and converted to right hand drive before it was finally despatched to Coombs in Guildford on 30th March 1973. Presenting now in very good order throughout, this E-Type starts on the button and runs exceedingly well; these long-legged tourers are ideal for a trip to the coast or to the South of France. With only four previous keepers, this Jaguar has clearly been very well cared for. The beige leather trim complements the recently repainted exterior and the car also has a full length Webasto sunroof. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a good history folder, this classically dynamic design is still a head turner.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1938 Fiat 508c New Balilla Spider Transmission: manualMileage:The charter establishing Fiat was signed in 1899 and a year later the factory opened and produced 24 cars in the first year. By 1908, Fiat had expanded throughout Europe and the United States and when World War I began production focused on supplying the army. After the war, during Mussolini’s rule, the company’s international presence was scaled back. By the early 1920s, production methods could not keep pace with the demand for automobiles. A new five story factory, the largest in Europe, opened in 1923 with a test track installed on the roof. The Fiat 508c was introduced as a small family car in 1937 as a replacement for the 508 Balilla. Under the new body, the 508c had a more modern and refined mechanics to include independent front suspension and an enlarged overhead valve engine. In 1939, it was updated and simply renamed the Fiat 1100, according to official figures the top speed was 110km/h or 68mph. The main body style for the 508c was a four-door pillarless saloon which was imported to the UK, the rest of Europe had a choice of a long wheelbase, four-door, six window saloon or a four-door convertible saloon, a four-door Torpedo, a two-door cabriolet, a two-door spider and a two-door Berlinetta.This Fiat 508c New Balilla Spider is a replica of a car built by Jack Tuson for Brooklands and the late 1930s Tourist Trophy races. Fiat England only imported the saloon version of the New Balilla, whereas a large numbers of the two-seat sports car version were produced in Italy. Tuson persuaded Fiat England to import a bare chassis on which he built his car. Other new features included an aluminium cylinder head and independent front suspension. It was in this car that he had a number of successes at Brooklands in 1938.The current owner rescued two derelict cars in the early 1970s. The bodies were rotten, so all the mechanical units, engines, gearboxes, axles and suspension were removed and kept. One chassis was too badly corroded but the other with registration JK 7465 was more than usable and was the basis of the recreation of the Tuson Brooklands car. Based on a set of notes written by Tuson which explained how to build his two-seat race car, they also showed that the vendor had all the material to build the replica. The engine has a number of modifications to improve performance, a late type crankshaft and con-rods were installed together with a three branch exhaust of Tuson design, a special camshaft with inlet and exhaust valve timings overlap of 40 degrees was also installed. This New Balilla, finished in black with red interior has VSCC eligibility and has competed in handicap and ODM races for nearly 20 years starting in 2000 with some success, particularly in the 1100cc class.It is supplied with a V5 registration and a file containing drawings and photographs of the restoration, magazine articles and a large number of invoices.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2000 Audi Mk. I TT Quattro Convertible 225PS (221bhp) Transmission: manualMileage:27027The Audi TT takes its name from the historical successes of NSU competing at the British Isle of Man TT. The exterior design was both bold and highly distinctive with many design awards won along the way. Early Mk. I TT's are becoming increasingly difficult to find with low mileage and low ownership and there is a flourishing club support network throughout UK and Europe catering for the surging enthusiasm for this iconic model.This privately entered TT Roadster is fitted with the desirable 'APX' 1.8 litre, turbocharged petrol engine and Quattro all-wheel drive, mated to Audi's six-speed manual DQB gearbox. Supplied new by Scotts Audi, Berkeley Square to Ms. Soyas-Ridley. She is recorded as both the first and the second registered keeper, with just her address changing in 2002. After twenty years of being registered within the first keeper’s family, ownership passed, in 2020, to the current owner by which time it had covered just 23,800 miles. Timing-belt, tensioners and water pump have all been recently replaced, plus a new clutch earlier this year. We're told that the car provides first class motoring with responsive performance and seamless transmission. Beautifully finished in a Desert Green pearl effect with black roof and complimented inside by fabulous and very rare 'Steppe Green' fine Nappa leather and carpets. Bose speakers add to the sense of top-quality appointments in the pristine cabin. Entirely unmodified, the TT retains all tools, books and owner’s wallet (nine x stamped entries in service booklet).

2004 Lamborghini Gallardo Transmission: manualMileage:49400The Gallardo was manufactured from 2003 to 2013 and is their best-selling model with 14,022 being built throughout its lifetime. The first generation Gallardo came with a 4961cc, V10 engine and offered two choices of transmission, a conventional six speed manual transmission and an advanced six-speed, electro hydraulically controlled, semi-automatic, which Lamborghini abbreviates to 'E-Gear'. Over the years however, it is the manual gearbox cars that have become far more collectible amongst the purists.Originally from H R Owen, this striking example presents with the all-important gated six-speed gearbox, black exterior and a sumptuous black leather interior and, as such, is just one of 500 made worldwide. All original books are supplied with the car which also comes with a ‘Tracker’ and service history showing a recent interim service at 49,097 miles, six main agent stamps, two specialist stamps and an upgrade by Lamborghini Manchester.

1966 Aston Martin DB5 Transmission: manualMileage:6767From a deceased estateManual transmissionComprehensive history fileMatching numbers exampleTo the casual observer, the 1963 DB5 is virtually indistinguishable from a late model DB4 Vantage; the DB5 is essentially a four-litre version of the DB4. Initially fitted with the four-speed David Brown gearbox, the vast majority of cars received the superior five-speed gearbox either as an option or later as standard fitting. So why is the DB5 so often thought of as the quintessential Aston Martin? Without doubt, this is due to a Silver Birch example featuring in the 1964 James Bond film, Goldfinger, complete with modifications and hidden weaponry. With 007 behind the wheel of the sensational sports GT, demand outstripped supply - the factory just couldn't capitalise fast enough on the marketing success of the DB5. Even today, DB5's are highly regarded and change hands for sums significantly greater than almost anything else in the rangeThis late example DB5 was supplied new by the franchised dealer H W M of Walton-on-Thames and presents well in Autumn Gold with an Oxblood leather interior that was fitted in place of the original beige trim during a comprehensive restoration that took place during the 1980’s. The work was undertaken by coachbuilders, Medcalf and Co. during the tenure of the cars third owner, Mr. Steel of Surrey. We are informed that the odometer was zeroed during the restoration process and now reads 6,767 miles. In October 1995, the DB5 passed into the current family ownership having been purchased from Mr. Steel. The history file for this delightful Aston Martin contains older invoices including a number from RS Williams dating from 1968 through to 1972, a selection of previous MoT test certificates, an old style continuation logbook, various correspondence from current and past owners, AMOC literature, magazines and press cuttings. The six-cylinder engine started immediately when requested and ran well with no adverse noises and the manual gearbox offered a smooth gearchange.JNJ 5D is being sold on behalf of the estate of its late, enthusiast owner who used the car sparingly during his tenure and attended various owners club meetings. Without doubt one of the prettiest and most iconic cars ever manufactured, a DB5 always causes interest when coming to the market and we expect this car to continue the trend. The association of the Aston Martin marque with James Bond started with the DB5 and the model has retained superiority in the market place ever since. Given the realistic estimate, if you have ever aspired to own a DB5, this really is a gift of an opportunity.Please note we understand the previous owner - Mr Reg Steel – confirmed that Aston Martin Works Service department at Newport Pagnell undertook the engine rebuild in the 1980s. Invoices for this work are not found in the history file as Mr Steel's company, Acsim Limited, were invoiced for the works. Acsim Limited were liquidated in 1995 thus records are unattainable. The history file does contain a letter from David Eales of Oselli Limited (dated October 1995) recalling that the engine was rebuilt for Mr Steel by Aston Martin Works Service, during the time he was employed by the factory. We are lead to believe Mr Steel also feels a factory replacement block was supplied during the rebuild, and stamped accordingly.Please note that the speedometer on this car has recently stopped working.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1938 Bentley 4¼ Four-Door Cabriolet Coachwork by Carrosserie Worblaufen Transmission: manualMileage:65583Launched in 1933, the first of what would become known as the 'Derby' Bentleys continued the marque's sporting associations, but in a manner even more refined than before. Even W O Bentley himself acknowledged that the new 3½ litre model - popularly known as the 'Silent Sports Car' - was the marque's finest ever, commenting: taking all things into consideration, I would rather own this Bentley car than any car produced under that name. By the end of the 1930s the 'Derby' Bentley had undergone a number of significant developments, not the least of which was an increase in bore size in 1936 that upped the capacity to 4,257cc, a move that coincided with the adoption of superior Hall's Metal bearings. This new engine was shared with the equivalent Rolls-Royce and enjoyed a superior specification in Bentley form, boasting twin SU carburettors, a raised compression ratio, and a more 'sporting' camshaft. Thus the new 4¼ litre model offered more power than before while retaining the well-proven chassis with its faultless gear-change and servo-assisted brakes.Essentially an owner-driver sports car, the 3½ litre and later 4¼ litre Bentleys found favour with such motoring celebrities as Briggs Cunningham, N S Embiricos, Eddie Hall, Woolf Barnato, and Land Speed Record specialist Sir Malcolm Campbell. In Rolls-Royce and Bentley tradition, customers chose their own bespoke coachbuilders. The likes of Park Ward, Vanden Plas, Gurney Nutting, Barker, and Freestone & Webb were firm favourites in the UK, while European coachbuilders responsible for some memorable designs on the 'Derby' chassis included Van Vooren, Kellner, and Figoni at Falaschi. Unique among 'Derby' Bentleys is this four-door cabriolet by Carrosserie Worblaufen; this being the only pre-war Bentley to carry the Swiss coachbuilder's distinctly Teutonic-style coachwork. Carrosserie Worblaufen had been established in 1929 by Fritz Ramseier, formerly employed by Gangloff of Geneva, and his brothers Hans and Ernst. From humble beginnings Worblaufen swiftly moved upmarket, benefiting from a strong demand for its drophead coupés on quality chassis from the likes of Isotta-Fraschini, Alfa Romeo, Delage, Talbot-Lago, and Mercedes-Benz.This stunning example was despatched to Switzerland via Dover and Dunkirk aboard the SS Shepperton. Bentley Motors' guarantee was issued on 15th September 1938 when the car was delivered via agents S. A. Perrot Duval & Cie of Geneva to its first owner, Professor Dr Hans Wildbolz, a prominent physician.Presented with four-door convertible coachwork, a stunning configuration rarely seen on the 4¼ litre chassis. It is finished in silver-grey while the interior is trimmed in deep red pigskin with chrome framed windows and taut cabriolet hood which when raised gives a sleek coupé appearance, provides ideal snug accommodation while still retaining a stunning appearance, and when lowered provides comfortable motoring in warmer climes. This car also features a most practical wind-up rear screen affording weather protection for the rear passengers while the functional luggage boot contains two fitted silk-lined suitcases. The correct dashboard instrumentation is metrically calibrated, and a coachwork feature is the ingenious door hinging where opening the back door automatically closes the front door and vice versa - something that impresses even the most avid car collector.In 1975, B125LE was first registered with the Bentley Drivers' Club in USA in the ownership of C F Brown of Ohio. In 1985 the Bentley passed to E H Adolph of Connecticut, who then owned the car until 2003 when it passed to well-known West Coast collector, Barrie Hon. In 2004 the car was shipped to Europe and exhibited by invitation on the Concours d'Élégance lawns at Ville d'Este in Italy and was also exhibited that same year at the prestigious Concours d'Élégance at Pebble Beach. In 2007 further restoration was carried out by Chris Kidd's Tired Iron Works of Monrovia, California. Fresh from restoration, the car appeared again at the 2007 Pebble Beach Concours d'Élégance, finishing third in class against formidable competition in one of the world’s most notable Concours events.Upon inspection the car is in excellent condition throughout, supremely elegant Swiss coachwork twinned with the best of British engineering which was fully restored with the intent to present and rub shoulders with the very best. Privately owned by our vendor since 2012 with concourse invites both sides of the Atlantic, B125LE is ready again to participate in the more demanding long-distance motor tour or grace the lawns at Pebble Beach or Ville d'Este. The car is currently UK registered and is offered with a most comprehensive history file containing restoration invoices and copies of the Factory Order and Build Sheets and a (copy) FIVA Identity Card dated July 2004. Viewing is certainly advised for a truly unique offering.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5 16V Cosworth Transmission: automaticMileage:112500In 1983, Mercedes-Benz introduced the Cosworth 2.3 16V into their range and the new cars were substantially different from the other 190 models. The body kit reduced the drag coefficient and the steering wheel was smaller than that on other 190s, whilst the fuel tank was enlarged to 70 litres. The Getrag five-speed, manual gearbox was unique to the 16 valve and featured a 'dog-leg' first gear. An enlarged 2.5 litre engine replaced the 2.3 in 1988 and offered double-row timing chains to fix the unreliable single chains on the early 2.3s. The power output was up by 17bhp with a slight increase in torque. It is debated whether the 2.5 engine was developed and built by Mercedes-Benz or by Cosworth … interestingly, they were not keen to broadcast the fact that their most sporting saloon car had an engine developed by a British company. The suspension on the 16 valve models is very different from the standard 190 and as well as being lower and stiffer, it has larger anti-roll bars, harder bushes and hydraulic self-levelling suspension on the rear allowing the rear ride-height to remain constant even when the car is fully loaded.This lovely example of this highly sought after model is especially rare being right hand drive and is presented in black metallic with black leather interior. It comes with an electric sunroof, electric windows, electric front seats and cruise control. The present vendor replaced all the door panels and the bonnet as well as replacing the spoiler with a new one and then had the car resprayed in 2018. The car looks superb! The history file contains various invoices from past work including the latest expenditure of £1622 with Steve Redfearn Mercedes-Benz Specialist in Wimbledon. This car has been very well looked after and it is refreshing to see such an example in such wonderful condition throughout.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1983 Porsche 911 SC Cabriolet (3.0 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:8896The Porsche 911 is a luxury two-door sports coupé with a distinctive design, rear engine and independent rear suspension; an evolution of the swing axle on the Porsche 356. It 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 automotive competition and is among the most successful competition cars ever. In the mid-1970s, normally aspirated 911 Carrera RSRs won major world championship sports car races such as Targa Florio, Daytona, Sebring and Nürburgring, even against prototypes. The 911-derived 935 Turbo also won the coveted 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1979. In the 1999 international poll for the award of Car of the Century, the 911 came fifth. It is one of two in the top five that had remained continuously in production (the original Beetle remained in production until 2003) and was until 1998, the most successful surviving application of the air cooled, horizontally opposed rear-engine layout.This superb right hand drive 1983 Porsche 911 SC Cabriolet was supplied new to the Sultan of Brunei in Malaysia and is believed to have only covered 8,896 miles from new. It is thought the Sultan gave this Porsche to one of his staff and while in Malaysia the colour was changed to red. Imported to the UK in 2019, the new owner set about returning the car to its original specification, this included removing all the panels and repainting the car back to its original colour of white, refreshing the black leather interior, refurbishing the wheels and fitting new tyres. For the mechanics, it was sent to Caversham Porsche where it was serviced, new oil cooler pipes fitted, new exhaust system and the air conditioning serviced. The service book is stamped with its first service in Malaysia and the recent service here in the UK. This Porsche is supplied with a V5 registration document, the original service book and the invoices for the work carried out in the UK. Recently the rear seats have been retrimmed, new seat belts and a new battery fitted. The engine has been professionally tuned and the 2994cc engine sounds great when on song with performance to match. This rare and well sorted cabriolet is ready to be used and enjoyed immediately, it would be difficult to find one with lower mileage and in such stunning condition.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1980 Ford Escort Mk. II Rally Spec (1.7 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:35854The squarer-styled Escort Mk. II appeared in January 1975 with the first production models having rolled off the production lines on 2nd December 1974. Unlike the first Escort (which was developed by Ford of Britain), the second generation was developed jointly between the UK and Ford of Germany. Codenamed ‘Brenda’ during its development, it had the same mechanical configuration as its predecessor; the estate and van versions even used the same panel-work as the Mk. I but with the Mk. II front end and interior. The car used a revised underbody which had, in fact, been introduced as a running change during the last six months of the life of the Mk. I. The car was a success with just four body styles competing in a variation of market niches where rival manufacturers had multiple models. The ‘L’ and ‘GL’ models were mainly purchased by the private sector; the ‘Sport’, ‘RS Mexico’ and ‘RS2000’ in the performance market; the ‘Ghia’ for an untapped small car luxury sector and ‘base’ models for the fleet market. The Escort continued to prove hugely popular with buyers in Britain during the second half of the 1970s, but production slowed and after an incredibly popular model run, ended in Britain in August 1980 with other countries following soon after.Originally registered on 23rd May 1980, this Escort has a particularly poignant story to it. The car was purchased by Scott Stacey in 2010 in its standard guise of 1300 and in need of total restoration. Scott decided to turn the car into a full-on rally replica. After suffering from Crohns disease from a very early age, things took an unfortunate turn for the worse in 2016. In 2017 he closed his business due to failing health and proposed to his girlfriend in the December. Following surgery in 2018 Scott was feeling well and planned to finish the car and use it for his wedding. However, there was too much work to do and the car did not make the wedding day in July 2019. Unfortunately, early in 2020 Scott’s health once again seriously deteriorated and he was given just a few months to live. Without telling him, his friends set up a GoFundMe page and embarked upon a Car SOS style mission. They managed to take the car without his knowledge and finished the project. The bodywork needed not much more than a good machine polish. Fuel problems and a host of electrical issues were addressed, and the drivetrain refreshed accordingly. The result of this heart-warming act of kindness Scott and his wife were able to enjoy during his final few months. Presenting now in stunning condition, this Escort Mk. II is fitted with a 1700 Kent engine, performance camshaft and 40 DCOE carburettors. The gearbox is a Type E and is fitted with ‘Rocket’ ratio gears, the rear axle is a Quaife limited-slip-diff unit. The suspension is via GAZ shock absorbers all-round and stopping power is by four-pot calipers and vented front discs, the rear brakes have also been converted to discs. The result of all this hard work and commitment is a car that not only looks great but has performance to match and it is a true credit to everyone involved.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1929 Ford Tudor Hot Rod Transmission: manualMileage:28191This stunning bespoke Hot Rod was imported from Texas in bare metal by the late Graham Jones and originally completed by Home Grown Hotrods in Southend. Jon of Home Grown Hotrods recalls, Mr Jones a former Minardi, BAR & Tyrrell Formula 1 press officer would often source rare parts and bring them back with him from trips to various tracks. The Tudor Saloon body of the 1929 Ford is as new, and due to this benefits from rear seats enabling this fire breathing hot rod to transit four passengers. Fitted with a new Chevrolet small block engine, stainless steel exhaust and new brake lines while painted in Rover Green with black before fitting with Halibrand wheels.The car passed to Mr Monkley in 2015 and has since been kept in stunning condition it has had some remedial work to ensure it is in top condition for a continental trip to Switzerland and back, this included a replacement front crossmember, upgraded brakes, shock absorbers and suspension setup to assist in a long distance drive. The trip to the Alps was successful and this car often seen at American and Hot Rod shows described as totally reliable and easy to drive with an automatic gearbox that changes smoothly with its close ratios whilst the torque from the V8 is ideal for both cruising or street racing. Offered with a V5 registration document and boasting a useful trunk to the rear for luggage. A stunning one-off example for which viewing is highly recommended.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1967 Jaguar E-Type Series I Coupé (4.2 Litre) Transmission: manualMileage:64666Introduced in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type caused a sensation when it appeared with its instantly classic lines and 150mph top speed. While, inevitably, the car's stupendous straight-line performance and gorgeous looks grabbed the headlines, there was a lot more to the E-Type beneath the skin. The newcomer's design owed much to that of the racing D-Type and, indeed, the E-Type would be one of the last great sports cars developed directly from a successful competition ancestor. Just as in the D-Type, a monocoque tub formed the main body/chassis structure while a tubular space frame extended forwards to support the engine. The latter was the same 3.8 litre, triple-carburettor, 'S' unit first offered as an option on the preceding XK150. With a claimed 265 horsepower on tap, the E-Type's performance did not disappoint. Mainly because it weighed around 500lb less than the XK150 but also, because aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer used experience gained with the D-Type to create one of the most elegant and efficient shapes ever to grace a motor car.Delivered new in 1967, this wonderful matching numbers example is finished in the very elegant colour combination of metallic blue over a dark blue leather interior and is presented in superb order throughout. Converted to right hand drive from its original left hand drive guise, this E-Type is one of the best we have ever seen. Professionally restored by marque specialists, the car has undergone a full bare metal respray as well as a complete interior retrim and consequently presents fabulously. During the restoration, this Jaguar was treated to an engine, gearbox, and rear differential rebuild and as such is in very good order throughout, the original matching numbers engine is included in the sale although it’s not currently fitted to the car. The brake and clutch master cylinders were rebuilt, and a new wiring loom, ancillaries and carburettors were also fitted. This very well-presented example comes complete with a history file detailing the restoration, many sundry invoices, and the current UK V5 registration document. Huge amounts of money have been spent bringing this E-Type to its current condition and it’s certainly one of the best we have seen. The perfect candidate for those long-distance continental tours or that summer trip to the south of France. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 Ford Escort Mk. I 1300GT Transmission: manualMileage:15823The Ford Escort was introduced in the United Kingdom at the end of 1967, making its show debut at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1968. The Escort was a commercial success in many parts of Western Europe, but nowhere more than in the UK, where it was consistently the national best seller. In June 1974, less than six years after the car's UK introduction, Ford announced the completion of the two millionth Ford Escort, a milestone unmatched by any Ford model outside the USA. The Mk. I featured contemporary styling cues in tune with its time; a subtle Detroit-inspired ‘Coke bottle’ waistline and the ‘dogbone’ shaped front grille - arguably the car's most famous stylistic feature.Originally registered on 7th January 1972 this genuine Escort 1300 GT is arguably one of Dagenhams’ finest designs and greatest success story. This example was restored several years ago and was featured in the Classic Ford magazine in November 2010. Clearly this has been a very well maintained and much-loved example, the history folder is certainly impressive. The original Ford service book and owner’s handbook are present and there are a significant number of invoices in the history folder. The yellow paintwork is generally good although there are a couple of areas that may require attention in the future and the black interior is in good order. The easy to read and uncluttered instrument binnacle is a feature of a 1300GT. During our inspection it was a case of pull the choke out, turn the key and the Kent engine burst into life, she ran with good oil pressure. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 25th August 2022, this is fine example of a model that is rarely seen these days.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1963 Ford Consul Capri Project Transmission: manualMileage:The Ford Consul Capri was launched in 1961 and was the first European market Ford to bear the Capri name. The Ford Consul Capri is a two-door coupé version of the Classic Consul and was available from 1961 until 1964. In February 1963, the GT version was announced. The new GT engine, developed by Cosworth, featured a raised compression ratio 9:1, a modified head with larger exhaust valves, an aluminium inlet manifold, a four-branch exhaust and most noticeably a twin choke Weber carburettor, this being the first use of this make on a British production car, the rarest of all the British Fords with only 39 GT's registered. Overall, the car was very expensive to produce and in the latter part of its production was running alongside the very popular Ford Cortina. Only 2,002 GT models were built and just 1,007 cars were sold in 1964, the last year of production, 412 of them being GT's.Presented in blue coachwork with a newly trimmed cream interior and blue piping, this car was first registered 26th July 1963. This Consul capri is an unfinished project and forms part of the estate of Alan Monkley. Offered with a V5C registration document showing three former keepers, this example is the perfect winter project for a Ford Capri enthusiast and offered to auction without reserve.
