1951 Land Rover Series I 4x4 Utility Registration no. MPW 422 Chassis no. 26100391Footnotes:Inspired by the US Army's wartime 'Jeep', developed in haste and intended for short-term, small-scale production, the Land Rover would defy its creators' initial scepticism. Rover bosses the Wilks brothers saw the need for a tough, four-wheel-drive, utility vehicle to serve the needs of the agricultural community in the immediate post-war years, but the Land Rover's runaway success took the company by surprise. Ruggedly built and simple in construction, the Land Rover proved capable of surviving in countries where conditions were primitive to say the least, a virtue that helped contribute to its worldwide acceptance. Indeed, it is estimated that two-thirds of all Land Rovers ever produced are still in existence today. This desirable early model is offered with its original buff logbook confirming that it was sold into the current family ownership in Norfolk in August 1951. The Land Rover was transferred into its current ownership in 1954 and has resided on the same property and farmland ever since. We can advise that the engine turns, though its condition is not known. Offered in need of total re-commissioning and sold strictly as viewed, the vehicle is offered with a bill of sale, an original but tatty owner's handbook, a workshop manual and the aforementioned old-style logbook. At time of cataloguing the current UK V5C registration document had not been found by the estate office. Offered with Bill of Sale.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 502
1939 Rover 'Twenty' Tickford Foursome Drophead Coupé Coachwork by Salmons & Sons (Tickford) Registration no. JPA 105 Chassis no. 97118Footnotes:Rover introduced a new rationalised 'P2' range for 1937, the new bodies establishing a look that would stand the company in good stead well into the 1950s. Far from being a disadvantage, this conservatism was just what Rover's typically middle-class customers wanted. At the top of the range sat the 20hp (called the Speed 20 at first) which boasted a new chassis and body and was powered by a 2½-litre overhead-valve straight-six. An expensive prestige automobile, the 'Twenty' was built between 1937 and 1940 but did not resume production after the war, Rover preferring to concentrate on cheaper and more affordable models in an age of austerity.Boasting rare and desirable coachwork, and benefiting from long-term ownership, this 'Twenty' remarkably comes with its original Rover Company Ltd warranty form dated 22nd June 1939. It is unclear when 'JPA 105' passed into the current ownership but we believe it to be in the 1940s. Offered in need of complete restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the car comes with a bill of sale; an original instruction manual; and a pamphlet with instructions for the Tickford Foursome Coupé's hood. At time of cataloguing the current UK V5C registration document had not been found by the estate office. Offered with Bill of Sale.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 506
1978 Aston Martin V8 Series 3 Sports Saloon Registration no. BHJ 376S (see text) Chassis no. V8/11868/RCAS Engine no. V/540/1868/S•Desirable Weber carburettor model•Automatic transmission•In dry storage for many years•Requires re-commissioningFootnotes:Introduced in 1973, the 'Series 3' version of Aston Martin's successful V8 employed a quartet of Weber carburettors instead of the previous Bosch mechanical fuel injection; the change, which necessitated a larger bonnet bulge, bringing with it increased torque, smoother running at low speeds, and improved fuel economy. Power output of the standard car was now well in excess of 300bhp and in manual transmission form the V8 could reach 100mph in around 13.5 seconds and better 160mph flat-out, with the automatic not that far behind. This automatic transmission V8 was delivered via Aston Martin (Sales) Ltd, leaving the Newport Pagnell factory finished in Madagascar Brown with Magnolia interior trim and equipped with over-riders; two Rearguard fog lamps; and a lockable centre armrest. The UK V5 registration document on file records the owner at time of issue as one Paul Salisbury of Dorset and before him (from 27th October 2007) as Miss Samantha Vincent, also of Dorset. Also on file is a copy of the Car Record Card and an invoice from Classicmobilia relating to the Aston's sale to the previous owner in Switzerland in May 2010. The Aston subsequently spent many years in Kuwait before returning to the UK in 2021. Purchased by the current vendor at Bonhams' Beaulieu auction in September 2021 (Lot 420), the car was running and driving at that time. Re-commissioning has commenced but the owner finds that he no longer has the time to complete the process and thus the car is offered with the work unfinished. Nevertheless, this should be a good example once complete. Accompanying documentation consists of sundry bills and a NOVA document. The registration 'BHJ 376S' is listed in the HPI database; nevertheless, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this vehicle's registration status prior to bidding. Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 510
1957 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible with Hardtop Registration no. not registered Chassis no. E57S101475 Engine no. to be advised•283ci (4.6-litre) V8 engine•An older restoration•Stored since acquisition in 2008•Requires re-commissioningFootnotes:Back in 1953, Chevrolet's launch of a two-seater sports car was a radical departure for a marque hitherto associated almost exclusively with sensible family transport. Based on the 1952 EX-122 show car, the Corvette made use of existing GM running gear and a shortened chassis frame, around which was wrapped striking Harley Earl-styled glassfibre coachwork. Motive power came from Chevrolet's 235.5ci (3.8-litre) overhead-valve straight six and, unusually for a sports car, there was automatic transmission, a feature that attracted much adverse criticism at the time. Intended as competition for the T-Series MG, the Corvette cost way above the target figure, ending up in Jaguar XK120 territory but with an inferior performance. Sales were sluggish initially and the model came close to being axed, surviving thanks to Chevrolet's need to compete with Ford's Thunderbird. A V8 engine for 1955 and a radical re-style for '56 consolidated the 'Vette's position in the market. By this time, Corvettes had begun to establish an enviable competition record for the marque. Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov was a big fan of auto racing and it was he that was responsible for unlocking the car's innate potential and developing it into a genuine race-winner. These racing successes repaid Chevrolet's investment with interest: Corvette sales improved significantly, ensuring the car's survival and enabling it to go on to become the world's best-selling and longest-lived sports car. This Corvette convertible dates from 1957, the year that the 283ci (4,639cc) V8 engine was standardised, replacing the old 265ci unit. Fuel injection became optional for '57 and a four speed manual transmission was available from April of that year. Chevrolet's advertising made much of the fact that in its ultimate specification the fuel-injected Corvette produced 283bhp, or one horsepower for every cubic inch, making it the first production engine to do so. This particular 'Vette was ordered with the three-speed manual transmission and optional heater.The current vendor purchased the car from ProTeam Corvette Sales of Napoleon, Ohio in May 2008. At that time the car was described as a matching numbers example benefiting from a body-on restoration with 'beautiful new paint, interior, top, chrome, and stainless exhaust', sadly no bills are on file for this work. A copy of the advertisement is on file and the car also comes with the 2007 bill of sale, a copy of the old Ohio Certificate of Title, and sales/shipping paperwork. Stored since acquisition, the Corvette will require re-commissioning before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Please note that if this vehicle is to remain in the UK, it will be subject to Import VAT at the reduced rate of 5% on the hammer price. It will also require a NOVA (Notification of Vehicle Arrival) and an additional fee of £250 (plus VAT) will be charged on the Invoice to prepare the NOVA.

Lot 520
1933 Lagonda 16/80 T5 Tourer Registration no. OJ 9865 Chassis no. S10381 Engine no. S2130• Formerly owned by Sgt Freddie Dixon, Battle of Britain RAF fighter pilot• Previous keeper for 35 years• One of approximately 260 examples produced Footnotes:'Silence and smoothness of running have been combined with performance in the new 16-80 Lagonda to an extent not hitherto achieved in any of these very fine cars. Yet the performance itself is remarkably good, even if judged on maximum speed alone, whilst it is even better from the general point of view if judged on the ability of the car to get under way really briskly...' – The Autocar.Based on the chassis of the preceding, and very short lived, 2-Litre Continental four-cylinder model, whose overall style and good looks it retained, the six-cylinder 16/80 was new for the 1933 season. The 16/80 employed a 1,991cc overhead-valve Crossley engine, reworked by Lagonda to its own specification, and could be ordered with conventional four-speed manual or pre-selector transmission enabling swift and easy changes. Autocar liked Lagonda's new medium-size model (which took its name from its 16hp RAC rating and 80mph top speed) remarking on its silence, smoothness, brisk acceleration, and effortless high-speed cruising. Three body styles were available: a Weymann panelled saloon; a rakish three-door tourer body, with driver's seat cutdown panel as found on racing cars of the era , and a two-seater sport designed by Vanden Plas (but built by Lagonda). Approximately 260 16/80s of all types were made, of which it is believed around half survive. This example was owned at the outbreak of WW2 by Flight Sergeant Freddie Dixon, an RAF pilot based at Croydon who was killed when his Hawker Hurricane was shot down over the English Channel during the Battle of Britain. He was 21 years old. Copies of period photographs of him with the Lagonda are on file together with a letter from a family member. The late owner acquired the Lagonda in April 1987, the previous keeper listed on the V5C document being a Mr Neil Frajbis of Suffolk (as is so often the case, the V5C incorrectly implies that the previous keeper was the first owner). A knowledgeable enthusiast, the late owner maintained the Lagonda impeccably and used it at weekends until advancing years meant he had to stop. For the last 10 years the car has been dry stored with all fluids drained and components greased as they should be. The engine has been rebuilt and the interior replaced (original seat fabric retained and is offered with the lot), and there are numerous bills on file relating to these and other works carried out. Like most old cars, this example will hugely improve with sparing continual use, and its dynamic qualities will be apparent to any post vintage connoisseur.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 522
1963 Daimler 2½-Litre V8 Saloon Registration no. 595 XKJ Chassis no. P1A 1862 BW Engine no. 7A 2013Footnotes:Jaguar's acquisition of Daimler in 1960 brought with it the latter's splendid, lightweight V8 engines. First seen in the SP250 sports car, the 2½-litre version was judged superior to Jaguar's 2.4-litre XK six and so the opportunity arose to create an up-market, Daimler-badged variant of the Mark 2 saloon using this power unit. Launched in 1962 as the 2½-Litre V8, the new Daimler came with Borg Warner automatic transmission as standard and turned out to be a fine performer, its 110mph top speed exceeding that of an overdrive-equipped, 2.4-litre Mark 2 by a wide margin. Finished in light blue metallic with original dark blue leather interior, this 2½-Litre V8 comes with a JDHT Certificate showing that it was despatched on 12th June 1963 to the Stratstone dealership in London, together with its original warranty document in the name of J E Brambleby, Esq of Kent. The vendor advises us that the engine was rebuilt fewer than 2,000 miles ago by The Jag Workshop in London, and that the bodywork is generally good but showing some minor rust patches. Said to start and drive well, the car is MoT'd to August 2023 and comes with its original owner's manual and an extensive history file.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 545
1955 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Long-wheelbase Limousine Coachwork by James Young Registration no. RR 1955 Chassis no. DLW117 Engine no. L116D•Believed to be the Geneva Motor Show car•Rare long-wheelbase model (639 produced)•Restored in the USA in the 1970s•Automatic transmission and after-market air conditioning•Original registrationFootnotes:Rolls-Royce's first post-war model, the Silver Wraith employed a chassis similar to that of the Mark VI Bentley, though with a 7' longer wheelbase. The Wraith however, was only offered with traditional coachbuilt bodies rather than the Mark VI's pioneering 'standard steel' bodywork. Powering Rolls-Royce's post-war range was a new 4,257cc six-cylinder engine of cast-iron, monobloc construction with an aluminium cylinder head and featuring overhead inlet and side exhaust valves. A four-speed manual gearbox with synchromesh was standard initially, an automatic option (for export models only at first) not becoming available until 1952, at which time the engine was enlarged to 4,566cc and a long-wheelbase version introduced. Production ceased in 1959, by which time 1,883 chassis had been completed, 639 of them to long-wheelbase specification.The last word in motoring luxury in its day, this long-wheelbase Silver Wraith carries saloon coachwork by James Young, one of the few British coachbuilders still active after WW2. The Bromley-based carriage-maker had bodied its first automobile in 1908, affiliating itself with a succession of quality marques throughout the 1920s and 1930s, and had established itself among the foremost coachbuilders for upmarket chassis by the end of the latter decade. Its factory devastated by wartime bombing, the company did not resume exhibiting at the London Motor Shows until 1948, continuing to offer coachbuilt designs of distinction on (mainly) Rolls-Royce and Bentley chassis until the arrival of the unitary construction Silver Shadow/T-Series range in the 1960s. Believed to be the 1955 Geneva Motor Show car, this Silver Wraith was given its distinctive and most appropriate registration when new. The Wraith's last owner purchased the car in the USA, where it had been restored in the 1970s, and imported it into the UK in 1992, retrieving the original registration. The car had been painted white, re-trimmed and fitted with after-market air conditioning, while other notable features include a glass partition, cocktail cabinets, picnic tables, privacy curtains and a vanity set. Service history is available from 2002 at an indicated 55,000 kilometres (the current odometer reading is 62,751 kilometres but cannot be guaranteed genuine). Accompanying documentation consists of an MoT certificate and a V5C. Copies of the factory chassis cards have been applied for.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 562
1960 Vauxhall PA Cresta Saloon Registration no. RPM 56 Chassis no. 101101•Iconic American-styled Vauxhall saloon•An older restoration•Generally good condition•Quantity of spares includedFootnotes:'Many die-hard enthusiasts for the marque believe the PA to be one of the best-designed Vauxhalls ever to leave the factory. Even those who do not agree with this opinion must at least concede that it should go down as the most noticeable.' – Trevor Alder, Vauxhall The Postwar Years. With the introduction of the 'PA' series Cresta and Velox in October 1957, Vauxhall embraced American styling with even greater enthusiasm than hitherto. Plentiful chrome, garish colour schemes, wrap-around windscreens and fashionable tail fins were all featured on these two top-of-the-range sixes, which often were seen wearing whitewall tyres. Originally of 2.25 litres, the overhead-valve, straight-six engine was enlarged to 2.6 litres in 1960, producing an additional 31 horsepower, while the one major styling revision came in August that same year when a larger front grille and one-piece rear screen were adopted on the 'PADY' Velox and 'PADX' Cresta models. The standard transmission was a three-speed manual while overdrive and the two-speed Hydra-Matic auto 'box were options. An estate conversion was available from Friary Motors of Basingstoke. Offering softly sprung comfort, the Cresta had a decent performance for the time, with a top speed of over 90mph; indeed, the company's advertising hailed the Cresta and Velox as 'Built for the motorway age'. This restored PA-series Cresta saloon is described by the private vendor as in good condition throughout. The car is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate and comes with a quantity of spare parts to include a gearbox, rear axle and items of trim. The provision of a battery cut-out switch is the only notified deviation from factory specification. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1947 Jaguar 3½-Litre Saloon Project Chassis no. B8604 Engine no. 6820• Effectively three owners from new•Present family ownership for circa 50 years•Off the road since the late 1970s•Requires full restorationFootnotes:Like the majority of Britain's motor manufacturers, Jaguar Cars, as William Lyons' SS concern had been renamed in 1945, commenced post-war production with a range of pre-war designs. Essentially stopgap models pending the arrival of an entirely new generation of Jaguars, these comprised the compact 1½-Litre and the larger 2½/3½-Litre model. The latter was retrospectively known as the Mark IV after the Mark V's introduction in 1948, although this was never a factory designation. Built on a generous 120' wheelbase, the Mark IV retained a separate chassis featuring beam front and live rear axle suspension, semi-elliptic springing and Girling mechanical brakes. The stylish all-steel coachwork was available in saloon or drophead coupé forms and featured the kind of luxurious and well-appointed interior that would become a Jaguar hallmark. Used by SS Cars since 1934, the engine was Standard's rugged seven-bearing six fitted with a Weslake overhead-valve cylinder head and coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox. Standard boss Sir John Black had indicated that the larger engines would no longer be available once peace returned, so Lyons bought the tooling and brought their production in house, relying on Standard only for the 1½-litre unit. In 3½-litre form the Jaguar six produced 125bhp, an output good enough to propel the sturdily built Mark IV to over 90mph. The current vendor inherited this Jaguar 3-½ Litre around 11 years ago from his father, who had purchased it from the second owner. The latter had bought the car from the original owner, a doctor, in Dublin circa 1970. Restoration was commenced towards the end of the 1970s but stalled, and the car has remained in dry storage since around 1980. The vendor advises us that the Jaguar requires full restoration, although the chassis, steering and brakes are all said to be in very good working order. A potentially most rewarding project, the car is offered without documents and sold strictly as viewed.Please note that if this vehicle is to remain in the UK, it will be subject to Import VAT at the reduced rate of 5% on the hammer price.

1936 Frazer Nash-BMW 315 Cabriolet Registration no. DGF 956 Chassis no. 68071•Present ownership for just over 10 years•Restored by the previous owner•Fully documented rebuild•'New-old-stock' engine installed three years ago•Lockheed hydraulic brakes conversionFootnotes:Introduced in 1934, the BMW 315 boasted a 1½-litre six-cylinder engine, twin-tube chassis with transverse-leaf IFS, a synchromesh gearbox, and mechanical brakes. Good for around 65-70mph, the 315 was sold in the UK as the Frazer-Nash BMW Type 34, AFN Ltd having concluded an agreement with BMW for the importation of their motor cars, some having German bodies and others locally made coachwork. The vendor has owned this delightful cabriolet for just over 10 years having purchased the car from Mr Steven Fathers, who had completely restored it. It remains in excellent condition today having been used purely for high days and holidays. Replaced three years ago, curing a water pump issue, the engine is a reconditioned, new-old-stock unit from Mark Garfitt and was installed with the help of Oliver Penney after a full strip down and refit. The electrics have been converted to 12-volt with an electronic regulator. The vendor advises us that the car drives really well and is ideal for touring as there is plenty of luggage space and a proper hood for when the weather turns sour. The panel fit is exceptional and the two-tone paint very smart, while the hood remains excellent. Body-coloured wheel trims complete a charming picture. Brightwork too, is very smart, as is the beautiful tan leather interior, which remains in almost perfect condition. Additional gauges have been fitted discreetly beneath the dashboard so the driver can monitor water temperature and engine revs.According to the vendor: 'On the road it keeps up with modern traffic very well. The six-cylinder engine is nice and smooth, with good acceleration and speed. It will go faster if pushed, but it's at its best when cruising. The brakes are up-rated Lockheed hydraulic ones (replacing the original cable-operated brakes) and lend it excellent stopping power – it pulls up nice and straight. The four-speed manual is good to use – it's lovely.'In the comprehensive history file is a CD with a detailed photographic history of the car's restoration.

1962 Jaguar Mark II 3.8-Litre Saloon Registration no. 5969 XJ Chassis no. 208784DN Engine no. LC929S•The Jaguar Mark II in its ultimate 3.8-litre/overdrive configuration•Restored in 1997•Present ownership since 2012•Regularly maintainedFootnotes:'One of the most impressive sights today is the rapid and purposeful progress of a Mark 2 Jaguar on a motorway, eating up the miles in the fast lane. Like the nose of a bullet, the rounded frontal shape looks right for high speed, and the sheer velocity attained is usually exhilarating.' - Autocar. One of the most readily recognised cars of the 1960s thanks in part to countless appearances in films and on television, Jaguar's seminal Mark 2 saloon set the standard for the class throughout its entire production life and today remains highly prized by enthusiasts. Its immediate predecessor - the 'Mark 1' - had been introduced in 1956 and is of historic significance, being the Coventry firm's first unitary construction saloon car.With the advent of the Mark 2 in October 1959, the 3.8-litre version of Jaguar's XK twin-cam six became available for the first time in the company's medium-sized saloon, which in top-of-the-range, 3.8-litre, manual/overdrive configuration was a genuine 125mph car capable of reaching 60mph in 8.5 seconds, outstanding figures for a saloon of its size even by today's standards. Although there was a slight performance penalty with the optional Borg-Warner automatic transmission installed, the '3.8' in this form was an increasingly popular choice, particularly in the North American market. Representing the Jaguar Mark 2 in its ultimate 3.8-litre/overdrive configuration, this example was treated to a 'ground upwards' restoration in 1997, which included a re-spray in blue. Purchased by the current vendor in March 2012, the car has been maintained regularly and is described by them as in good condition throughout. Accompanying documentation consists of a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate; sundry restoration bills; a V5C Registration Certificate; an original operating, maintenance and service handbook; and a service chart.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II Long-Wheelbase Saloon Coachwork by Park Ward Registration no. 667 XUY Chassis no. LCC22 Engine no. 21LCC•31 years in Hong Kong•Present ownership since 2012•Extensive history fileFootnotes:Introduced early in 1955, the all-new Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and Bentley S-Type were conceived as replacements for the ageing Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn and Bentley R-Type. The duo sported sleeker bodywork on a new box-section separate chassis - Rolls-Royce eschewing unitary construction for the time being - incorporating improved brakes and suspension, the latter featuring electrically controlled damping. Enlargement to 4,887cc and the adoption of a six-port cylinder head boosted the - traditionally undisclosed - power output of the dependable inlet-over-exhaust six-cylinder engine. Automatic transmission was now standard and power-assisted steering an option. Catering for the stately limousine market in the 1950s, Rolls-Royce offered the royalty and heads of state-only Phantom IV and the generally available, if somewhat dated, Silver Wraith. Following the introduction of the Silver Cloud and Bentley S-Type, a long-wheelbase version of this more modern design was made available, with bodies closely based on the factory's standard offering. Four inches longer in the wheelbase than the standard saloon and usually fitted out with an internal division, these bodyshells were extended by Rolls-Royce's in-house coachbuilder Park Ward (soon to become H J Mulliner, Park Ward) at its London works and finished off at the factory in Crewe. These long-wheelbase models continued after the introduction of the new 6,230cc aluminium-alloy V8 engine on the 'Cloud II/S2 in the autumn of 1959, offering a less expensive alternative to the newly introduced Phantom V. Only 299 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II and 57 Bentley S2 long-wheelbase saloons were made before the introduction of the Silver Cloud III. This Silver Cloud II long-wheelbase saloon comes with copy paperwork relating to its original sale in 1961 together with history and build details; spares book; workshop manual; and its original owner's handbook. The car also comes with history relating to its time in Hong Kong, having been exported there in 1977. Brought back to the UK in 2008, the Silver Cloud was acquired by the current vendor in 2012. A well-maintained example, it is described by the vendor as in good condition throughout. We are advised that the only notified deviation from factory specification is the application of silver wrap below the waistline which was fitted in 2013. Offered with a V5C document.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

2008 Maserati Quattroporte Saloon Coachwork by Pininfarina Registration no. KU08 LSD Chassis no. ZAMFD39C00038136 Engine no. 131118•Rare right-hand drive model•Automatic transmission•51,500 miles recorded•Good service historyFootnotes:Maserati introduced an all-new version of its long-running Quattroporte (four-door) model in 2004 and in doing so came up with an outstandingly luxurious conveyance that nevertheless was aimed squarely at the enthusiastic owner-driver. A luxury saloon with the soul of a sports car, the new Quattroporte featured DuoSelect six-speed sequential manual transmission complete with Formula 1-style paddle gearshift. Displacing 4.2 litres, the Quattroporte's quad-cam V8 revved to 7,200 and produced 394bhp, a remarkably high specific output for a normally aspirated engine, particularly that of a luxuriously appointed four-seater saloon. Unusually, Maserati chose not to limit the car's top speed, unlike the majority of its (mainly) German rivals; thus the Quattroporte was allowed to realise its full potential, achieving a maximum velocity of 171mph with 62mph attainable in 5.2 seconds. By mounting the dry-sump engine aft of the front axle line, Maserati's engineers achieved a slight rearward weight bias, endowing the Quattroporte with sports car-like balance and communicative steering. The suspension (Maserati's familiar Skyhook) incorporated both anti-dive and anti-squat geometry while offering electronically controlled adaptive damping and excellent ride comfort. Performance was restrained by ventilated Brembo disc brakes all round, supplemented by four-channel ABS, electronic brake force distribution, traction control and stability control. The first Maserati to be styled by Pininfarina for 50 years, the Quattroporte combined elegant Gran Turismo looks with a sumptuously equipped interior featuring Poltrona frau leather upholstery, six airbags, Blaupunkt information centre, satellite navigation and a BOSE sound system. One of only a few hundred examples imported annually into the UK, this right-hand drive Quattroporte is something of a rarity, being a 4.2-litre pre-facelift model with the ZF six-speed paddle-shift gearbox. The Maserati was purchased new with an extended warranty lasting until 2011, which the next owner extended, keeping the car until 2020. There is a comprehensive service record stretching back to its early days with Maserati and Ferrari (engine) specialists, demonstrating that this car has been cherished and wanted for nothing. The last service was carried out in May 2020 at 47,529 miles. Finished in dark grey metallic with tan leather interior, this marvellous Italian Gran Turismo currently displays a total of 51,500 miles on the odometer and is described by the private vendor as in good condition throughout, commensurate with the low mileage. Offered with a current MoT, this beautiful car represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most exciting sports saloons of recent years at a fraction of the approximately £77,000 launch price. Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
