The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveA wonderfully cherished example with just 72,915 miles from newOnly four previous owners, one owner from 1972 until 2001Remarkably original. Wonderful, gently-patinated interiorAttractively finished in Admiralty Blue with a Silver Birch Roof and Rostyle wheelsConsidering the design is over 50 years old, these cars still turn headsIn 1965, Rover's Managing Director, William Martin-Hurst, secured the tooling and production rights to the 3528cc all-alloy OHV V8 '215' engine from Buick and, after a period of development, it was ready for use in Rover's model range. Although a marriage of expediency, the union between Rover's stately P5 and the ex-Buick V8 resulted in an unexpectedly fine motorcar. The new aluminium V8 was significantly lighter and considerably more powerful than its predecessor, delivering 160bhp and a massive leap in torque to 210 lbs/ft. at 2600rpm, vastly improving pace, comfort, balance, handling, economy and reliability.Launched in 1967, the Rover P5B (or P5 Buick if you prefer) was conceived to stave off increasingly refined competition from the likes of Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. Available in Saloon and Coupe guises, both of which employed four doors, the big Rover was equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc /drum brakes. Fitted with three-speed automatic transmission and power-assisted steering as standard, it proved a relaxing drive although capable of a comfortable 115mph. The exterior was mostly unchanged, apart from bold '3.5 Litre' badging, a pair of fog lights which were added below the headlights, creating a striking four-light array and the fitting of chrome Rostyle wheels with black painted inserts. The svelte Coupe had a slightly lower roof-line, slimmer chromed window surrounds, twin-armchair rear seats and additional dash instruments, and is the most collectable variant today.Well-appointed in the best Rover tradition, the P5B's 'Gentlemen's Club' interior made it a firm favourite with businessmen, politicians (Harold Wilson's car was reputed to have a pipe rack in the back) and even HM The Queen who apparently still owns her Arden Green Saloon. Production lasted until 1973 by which time 9,099 Coupés and 11,501 Saloons had been built.HPX 301H was first registered on 01/06/1970 and was finished in Admiralty Blue with a Silver Birch Roof and a Cream leather interior. It may have remained with the dealer for a period of time as its first registered owner was Trevor Tiffin Nash who acquired this 3.5-Litre Coupe on 12/04/1972 from Boorers Garage in Broadwater with the original Bill of Sale for £1,750 in the owner's file. Boorers were, in fact, the Rover agents and, somewhat poignantly, within the file is a small faded advert cut from the Sussex Argus and dated 07/04/1972 for this car (£1,895) clipped to a copy of the same paper's obituary of Mr Tiffin on 7/01/2008. He had, in fact, sold the car to Charles Regan on 9/02/2001 who also became a long-term owner, passing it on to Owen Lavington on 13/09/2017.The history file is huge with well over 100 invoices for maintenance, routine repairs etc. with only two larger invoices obvious, one for a gearbox rebuild in May 1981 and one for new sills and inner and outer arches dated January 2008. The file also contains lots of MOTs, SORN notifications from 2004 to 2014 and V5s etc. There is a plastic wallet containing the original Owner's Operating Manual, Owner's Instruction Manual and the stamped service record which starts at 1,579 miles on 29/06/70 and finishes on the last page at 40,700 miles on 8/05/83.It appears that HPX has never been restored and is all the better for it. The Admiralty Blue paintwork still shines, the brightwork is excellent and the Rostyle wheels look crisp. The Rover's cream interior certainly feels original with that cosy lived-in feel often present in a much-loved family car, and the car simply 'stands well'.The mileage of 72,915 appears to be corroborated by the car's MOT and Service history and we understand that it runs and drives superbly. The P5B is a go-anywhere, welcome-anywhere kind of 'Classic' and, unlike an old MG, you don't have to don seven layers of clothing to go to an event. In period, these big Coupes were head-turners and were perceived to belong to comfortably off owners who appreciated quality and had a certain sense of style, and basically, nothing has changed. This lovely Rover is only available as our inveterate collector vendor has found one with even lower mileage.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveAn original, right-hand drive 280SL automatic first registered in the UK on the 21/08/1969Superbly presented in Moss Green with a beige Mercedes-Benz Tex interior, biscuit carpets with piped Moss Green overmats, and a body-coloured dashboard all set off by a matching factory hardtop and wheel trimsIn Ireland in single-ownership for 13 years covering only 2,500 milesOnly 63,140 miles from new and in commensurate conditionOriginal Mercedes-Benz Wallet, with Manuals, old MOTs, tax discs, Irish Registration, V5c, etcYou know that a motor car is special when a team of consignors look at a car and go "wow"The Mercedes-Benz SL 'Pagoda' was introduced in mid-1963 in 2.3-litre form and continued in production until February 1971 before being replaced by its successor, the entirely new and substantially heavier R107 350SL. Over the years, the W113 quietly evolved from a nimble 'sports car' into a comfortable 'grand tourer' and was usually equipped with four-speed automatic transmission and air conditioning. The final evolution of the Pagoda was the 280SL, launched in November 1967 with a host of technical improvements, and is now seen as the most refined iteration of the W113 series. The robust new seven-bearing, 2778cc, M130 engine developed 170bhp and perfectly suited the automatic transmission. New one-piece wheel trims distinguished the last W113 but alloys were now an option. By the time production ceased in March 1971, some 23,885 had been made making the 280SL the most popular of all W113 variants.Offered here is an original right-hand drive, Mercedes-Benz 280SL automatic first registered in the UK on the 21st of August 1969. The car presents really well in Moss Green with a beige M-B Tex interior, biscuit carpets with piped Moss Green over mats, and a body-coloured dashboard all set off by a matching factory hardtop and wheel trims.With the car is an MOT Schedule with entries running from 5/08/1981 @ 49,299 miles through to 21/12/2015 at 62,489 miles with a gap between August 1998 and September 2011 when it appears that the Pagoda was in Ireland in the ownership of Michael Murphy of Ballycrane for all of this time. Irish Licensing Certificates cover these dates and the car only covered just under 2,500 miles in this 13-year period. This little Moss Green Mercedes tootling around the leafy lanes of County Wexford does present a pleasing image.There are two Service Booklets with the car stamped up until 01/08/1986 at 55,673 miles and some invoices detailing later services and maintenance. These reside in the original Mercedes-Benz Wallet with the Owner's Manual, Parts Manual, old MOTs, Tax Discs, Irish Registration, V5c, etc. and the spare keys.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveWith rear-wheel drive and a manual gearbox, the 993 C2 is reminiscent of the earliest 911sDating from 1995, this left-hand-drive 993 was delivered new to Porsche Södertälje in Southern SwedenFully documented ownership confirming its 14,760 miles (23,755km) from new Specified from new with air-con, heated seats, cruise control and 17" wheelsBenchmark originality, low mileage and all its original books, tools and spare keys6 stamps and most recently a full 24,000 miles service at Paragon Porsche on 12/06/2020This is undoubtedly one of the purest and lowest mileage 993s in existenceThe 993 was the final generation of air-cooled 911s, and as such, will always have a special place in the affections of Porsche enthusiasts. There is a school of thought that it is the last of the 911s that were built whilst engineering integrity overruled accounting pressures at Porsche. Twenty-odd years on, it still looks modern - a truly timeless design penned by Englishman, Toni Hatter. The model was launched in the Autumn of 1994 and was claimed by the factory to be 80% new. The bodywork was altogether more curvaceous, with a number of new panels and the overall look was much smoother and more integrated. The biggest change under the skin was the new multi-link rear suspension, engendering greater driver confidence, less road noise, and excellent ride quality. Designed to give a level of passive rear-wheel steering (the 'Weissach effect'), thus controlling the way the suspension behaved under cornering, braking, and acceleration, it transformed the 911. The 993 was also the first 911 to be equipped with power steering and an advanced ABS system. The new car used essentially the same 3.6-litre engine as the 964, mated to a development of the worthy G50 gearbox, but now with six forward gears. Whereas the 964 produced 247 bhp, the 993 produced a healthy 272bhp resulting in a top speed of over 150mph and acceleration to match. The 993 Carrera Coupe you see here is as pure as you are likely to find and, with rear-wheel drive and a manual gearbox, it is deeply reminiscent of the earliest 911s.Built in 1995, this 993 was delivered new to Porsche Södertälje and came well-appointed with the optional air-conditioning, 17" wheels, cruise control and, perhaps not surprisingly for Sweden, heated seats. Its first owner, Ms Brett-Louise Tengvall enjoyed her Porsche for some three years, before it was sold by the Porsche Centre Stockholm on 14th October 1998. A Porsche Guarantee Certificate issued to the second owner, Sven-Åke Mildner, confirms that the 911 had covered just 2,175 miles at this time.Over the next 11 years, Mr Mildner used the 911 little and often, entrusting its maintenance to specialists and covering approximately 18,000kms. The Porsche would remain in the Mildner family for a further five years, with Christmas coming early for Paul Christian Mildner, who became the next owner on 15th December 2009. By the time the Mildner family sold the Porsche to Dr Per Bosemark in February 2014, the odometer had counted just 14,338 miles (23,075 km)Just 442 miles have been driven since then, with the Porsche joining one of Europe's significant car collections in 2017 and our vendor thereafter. There are 6 stamps in the Service Records with the most recent being a full 24,000 miles (40K km) service, new battery and fresh MOT, at Paragon Porsche on 12th June 2020. All books, tools and spare keys have been retained.Supremely well documented and surviving in a condition rarely seen from these famously reliable, usable and usually high mileage sports cars, this Porsche 993 really does set the benchmark.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveStunning looks, sculpted interior, creamy V6, manual box and four-wheel driveUK-supplied in right-hand drive and first registered on 01/09/2006Finished in Alfa Red with black leather and 18", 7-hole design alloysJoined our vendor's collection in March 2009, as just the second ownerVery hard to find, with only three 3.2 V6 Q4s available for sale in the UK at the timeComprehensive history with five services listed + a geometry check34,338 miles fully supported by MOTs from the first on 08/09/2009 at 14,814 milesMost recent MOT 11/06/2020 with no advisoriesOriginal Alfa book pack with service and warranty booklets, owner's manual, sound system manual etc. and a copy of the original sales brochureVAT qualifying, so 20% to be added to the hammer price"For the Alfa Romeo Brera, Giorgetto Giugiaro set out to look within himself, fine-tuning the concept of a contemporary, elegant, refined and essential car that could stand as the quintessence of the brand and its history and express technological development, though compressed into an almost intimate and discreet blend: the very requirements of elegance and classicism, of objects that are designed to last in time." (Ital Design).That was a direct quote from the advanced publicity for the Brera Concept in 2003 and could easily be dismissed as 'marketing-speak', however, we all know that when the boys at Alfa dip into their pencil box, the result is usually rather special and, when the production version of the Brera arrived late in 2005, it was met with uniform praise for its exterior and interior styling.It was never meant to be a road-going car - it actually started life as an Ital Design concept car based around a Maserati in 2003, however, Alfa submitted to demand and went ahead with a production version. Developed alongside the 159, the Brera shares exterior and interior styling cues, as well as engines and gearboxes.Launch engines were a choice of 182bhp 2.2-litre and a spine-tingling 256bhp 3.2 V6 petrol engines (utilising GM blocks with Alfa's magic added and bespoke heads) or a 2.4 diesel with 200bhp and 295lb ft of torque. The standard gearbox was a six-speed manual, although the 2.2 could be specified with optional Q-Tronic auto. The 3.2 V6 was very much the performance option and featured four-wheel drive with a Torsen diff, unlike the front-wheel-drive 4 cylinder cars.The fabulous example on offer from the SA30 Collection is a super rare UK-supplied, right-hand drive, top of the Brera range 3.2 V6 JTS Q4 with a 6-speed manual gearbox. It dates from 2006 and is finished in classic Alfa Red with a black leather interior and optioned with 18",7-hole design, alloys.From the comprehensive history file, we can see that it was first registered on 1/09/2006 and joined our vendor's collection on the 24/03/2009 with the one previous owners listed. We understand from our vendor that such was the demand for these sought after Alfas that he had to scour the UK to find one with only three being available at the time.In addition to always being comprehensively maintained by our vendor's in house team, the service record is fully stamped and shows the following;23/08/06 Pre-delivery services23/05/08 1st Service @ 8,732 miles16/03/09 2nd Service @ 12,345 miles19/08/10 Steering and geometry check8/11/14 Oil and Filter change @ 29,995 miles17/12/15 Oil and Filter service @ 32,082 milesThe mileage at the time of cataloguing was 34,338 miles. Within the file are older MOTs going back to the very first, on 8/09/09 @14,814 and the most recent which was issued on 11/06/20 with No Advisories. The original Alfa Romeo Book Pack is immaculate and contains the Service and Warranty Booklet, the Owner's Manual and the Sound System Manual. Pleasingly there is a mint copy of the original Brera/Spider brochure.As you can see from the other cars in the SA30 Collection, over vendor is particularly fastidious when it comes to the condition of his cars and this Alfa is no exception. It presents beautifully outside, inside, under the bonnet, in the boot - everywhere and we think that you would have to go a long way to find a better one. There can be no doubt that this must be a guaranteed 'future classic', with so many great ingredients.NB; The car is VAT qualifying, so 20% needs to be added to the hammer price.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveProbably the most original survivor to existTotally documented 59,097 miles from newFirst joined our vendor's collection in May 1994Original paintwork, woodwork and interiorStunning Black Pearl with dark green leatherFull Jack Barclay service records to 49,718 milesRare and practical manual window windersFreshly serviced and running very wellAs the sixties approached, Bentley turned to V8 power as a way of keeping up with its luxury rivals, especially in America. A radical change was on the cards in 1959 as Bentley felt their faithful straight-six engine was getting a bit 'long in the tooth' and in the search for a more modern power unit, they turned to the General Motors inspired 6,230cc all-aluminium V8. The new engine was an entirely new departure for Bentley and caused some consternation amongst traditional Bentley customers, however, in execution, their worries were short-lived, as the new power unit delivered more performance with unparalleled smoothness, setting the standard for the rest of the century and ultimately the 'S2' set the benchmark for others to follow.The extra power produced by the V8 enabled the Bentley to now exceed 110 mph, with an incredible 0-60 time of 10.9 seconds. Visually, the new model was near identical to the previous six-cylinder, but with a 120 mph speedo now fitted and a more suitable smaller steering wheel, as power steering was standardised - as was fully automatic transmission, electrically operated ride control and redesigned and more flexible heating and fresh air ventilation. Most Bentley S2s carried factory 'Standard Steel Saloon' coachwork, satisfying the company's commercial requirements, and in total 2,308 Bentley S2s slid quietly through the doors of the Crewe works.The example on offer is quite likely to be the best 'original survivor' to exist worldwide. Supplied new to a Harley Street resident and first registered on 17th June 1961, initially carrying registration number RNO 3, it first changed recorded ownership in 1968, although this might be from company ownership to the, still same, private owner, when studying the accompanying Jack Barclay service books. These alone make fascinating reading and the car certainly was very busy in its first few years. In relation to services on record, the mileage of 4,348 was recorded on 3rd January 1962, 6,771 on 5th April 1962, a 'B' type service was carried out on 11 July 1966 at 36,738 miles, a "25,000-mile service" carried out on 20 February 1968 at 45,050 miles and the final entry in the books - all by Jack Barclay - is a '5,000-mile' service on 9th July 1970 at 49,718 miles.Whatever the actual position, it's recorded that it entered the Kingham family's ownership in 1968 and it is quite possible that the registration 7000 PP was then applied. The family were to keep the car for the next twenty-six years and it was cherished and always garaged - perhaps explaining the incredible interior condition - and led a very relaxed life, possibly with the exception of the school run with the children, who affectionately christened the car "Elephant's Breath" due to its dark grey colour. It's incredible to note, that from July 1970 to May 1994, just a further 6,902 miles were added in those intervening 24 years.It was sold by the family, still in totally original condition, through Christie's Collectors' Motor Cars sale at Beaulieu Sale on 14th May 1994 - original catalogue on file - and our vendor first purchased the car immediately post-sale. Sold soon after to a close friend, on condition it would one day return, the next owner was John Nicholls, a well-known pioneer collector of the most original cars to survive and well before any Concours 'preservation class' existed. Via our vendor, John commissioned three-generation Bentley specialists, Sargeants of Goudhurst, to fully recommission the car, after some nine years in storage. This was completed on 5th September 1995, with the mileage then being just 56,620 from new. The cost of this work was just below £5,000 - over 30% of the car's, then-recent, £14,500 purchase price! Mr Nichols rarely drove the Bentley, as it was in a collection of almost 50 cars at the time, all stored in a Central London waterside warehouse. True to his word, our vendor was able to repurchase the Bentley in September 2002. A tiny mileage had been added, as confirmed by a 4th September 2003 MOT Certificate displaying a figure of 56,873 miles. Another close friend of Mr Nichols, Robert Jewers, had also fallen in love with such an original car and purchased it from our vendor for £19,750 on 25 May 2004, with the same repurchase rules applying! A new MOT was issued on 18th November 2004, with the mileage then at 57,255. Mr Jewers was the first owner to enjoy the Bentley on the roads and took the mileage up to 59,071 with the last MOT on file, dated 8 October 2013. Again, true to his word, our vendor then re-acquired 7000 PP for the collection on 5th March 2014.The accompanying history file is incredible. The original Jack Barclay service documentation books are still in their original Bentley Motors envelope, from when the car was supplied new. There are tax discs showing continued use from July 1977 to 1980, then '84-'85, then a gap to 2004, to then run continuously through to November 2013. The original service and handbooks are also present, together with the full original tool kit.Immediately prior to the sale, the Bentley was dispatched to marque experts, West Hoathly Garage, who carried out a full engine service, flushed out the cooling system and reported that the car is running and driving extremely well and that just a slight weep from the brake master cylinder and a seized parking brake cable would prevent a fresh MOT Certificate being issued, a small matter which still needs to be rectified - not surprising after six years on proud display in our vendor's collection.In summary, we feel this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire perhaps the best Standard Steel Bentley saloon to exist and in a fantastic and totally original colour combination.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveAn incredible survivor, a super rare very early car with only 37,087 miles from newOne family ownership for almost 55 yearsTartan Red with a grey and red interior. Fitted with the optional heater and wing mirrorsReplacement Gold Seal gearbox was fitted c1975/1976 along with a new rear subframe+In storage from 1976 until 2015 then recommissioned and fully serviced at c36,000 milesNew bumpers, a new set of tyres, Halogen headlamp bulbs, and BMC export-type seat beltsDocumentation includes a Heritage Certificate; original driver's handbook/maintenance book; original passport to service with stamps up to 27,276 miles; 1974 tax disc; BMC parts-list and workshop manual, plus a Scientific Publication workshop manualA work of true genius, the Mini not only became an icon of the Swinging Sixties but also influenced a whole generation of car designers and is widely considered to be the most influential car of the 20th Century. When it arrived in August 1959, it was sold and marketed under BMC's two main brand names, Austin and Morris, though apart from the badging, both the Seven and the Mini-Minor were virtually identical. By January 1962 the 'Seven' name was dropped and it became simply the Austin Mini although both Morris and Austin badged versions continued to be sold until 1969 by which time the car had become such an icon that all versions were simply known as the Mini.As the accompanying Heritage Certificate confirms, this Austin Seven Mini was built on 2nd December 1960 - the first full year of production - finished in Tartan Red with a Spanish Red and Fleck interior, fitted with the optional heater prior to being despatched to Weybridge Automobiles Ltd of Surrey where it was fitted with its wing mirrors.Its first owner was the dealer's brother-in-law who took delivery shortly before Christmas and used the car locally and for annual holidays in Bournemouth and he retained the car until his passing away in 1974, at which point the Mini had covered just 27,276 miles.Ownership then passed to his granddaughter who used it for day-to-day commuting for a couple of years before putting it into storage in 1976, at which point it still only had some 36,000 miles under its wheels. During her ownership, a replacement Gold Seal gearbox was fitted along with a new rear subframe, whilst the cable-operated door handles were also replaced with chrome accessory handles but the car otherwise remained totally standard. She also exchanged the original buff logbook for a V5 and disposed of the old MOT Certificates, although fortunately, she did keep the service records.The car was to remain in storage for the next three decades, although it was moved from a garage in Surrey to another in Kent at some point, and the engine was periodically started to keep it free. Brought out of storage in recent years, the Mini was thoroughly cleaned and brought up to MOT standard, great care being taken to preserve as much originality as possible. This amounted to little more than a full service and an overhaul of the braking system, although new bumpers were required front and rear along with a new set of tyres. Halogen headlamp bulbs have also been fitted along with a spin-off oil filter and BMC export-type seat belts. It passed the MOT test in April 2015 but is now MOT exempt.The car has covered under 37,100 miles from new and remains highly original in all important respects, including the interior trim and carpets, rivet type wheels, foam-filled sills and floor panels, floor starter, 'magic wand' gearstick and original Surrey registration. The previous owner stated that it appears never to have been welded and nor does it require any welding. While it could no doubt be transformed into a shiny new pin with some cosmetic detailing and an (unnecessary) full repaint, the previous owner much preferred to keep it as it is and reluctantly offered it for sale due to health problems. Subsequently, it has been looked after in our vendor's important collection ever since.Documentation includes the aforementioned Heritage Certificate; an original driver's handbook and maintenance book; original Passport to Service book with stamps up to 27,276 miles; 1974 tax disc; a BMC parts list and workshop manual plus a Scientific Publication workshop manual.This is not a no-expense-spared restoration of an early Mini, there are plenty of those about, but an incredibly low mileage, low ownership, matching numbers, original car that is still in extremely sharp condition and they are almost impossible to find. This little 'survivor' is sure to be of interest to the serious Mini collector.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

In best Alfa Romeo tradition a twin overhead camshaft engine was to power the new model, the smallest engine size ever offered by the company but yet, in standard form, developing 80bhp. Although offered as a four-door saloon it was the sporting Bertone-styled Giulietta Sprint which captured the Italian sporting motorists' heart with its neat and functional styling looking good from absolutely every angle. The gently developed Veloce engine was offered as an option giving 90bhp and providing a top speed in excess of 100mph. Handling was enhanced by independent front suspension with coil springs and wishbones with coil spring, radius arms, and A-bracket at the rear. A 1,600cc engine was briefly offered prior to the cessation of the model in 1965 following an eleven-year production run.This delightful Giulietta Sprint 750B dates from 1959 and was built in left-hand drive for the German market. Later that year, it was sold by Auto Freidrich in Frankfurt to its first owner. The early ownership details are unknown but on 1st July 1966, it was acquired by Douglas Foon Gee of Bellevue, Washington State, who evidently loved the little Alfa as he was to own it until August 22nd, 2012, a total of 46 years. Subsequently, the car was owned by Paul Hageman of Santa Monica, Dirk Layer of Solvang, California and Nuwest Holdings of Missoula in Montana MT before returning to Germany in 2017 where it joined a private collection.The condition genuinely needs to be seen to fully appreciate just how incredibly well this beautiful Alfa has been cherished and retained such a remarkable quality throughout.It's supplied with its original Alfa Pouch containing the Owner's Manual (in German), a number of US Certificates of Title and the spare keys.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveDelivered new to Porsche Slovenia in July 2009 finished in double blackA 3.8-litre, manual gearbox, 429bhp, Generation II factory Club SportCentre-lock wheels, red callipers, bespoke rear wing, lightweight seats, harnesses, fire extinguisher and a roll cageTwo further owners in Germany before being acquired by our vendor to join his collectionComprehensive service and MOT at Paragon Porsche in June 2020This rare car has covered just 9,323 miles (15,005km) from new and is unquestionably among the best in existenceThis was the final evolution of Porsche's acclaimed 997 GT3 series, reflecting the changes made for the second generation of the 997 911. Porsche's GT series cars are produced in limited numbers by their Motorsport Division, alongside the racecars on which the GT3 is based, and as such the GT3 had been absent from Porsche's price list since the tail end of 2007.Visually the new generation GT3 mirrors a number of changes introduced with the 2nd generation 997 road car, namely the introduction of daylight running lights and changes to the interior, however, the GT3 does not follow the regular series 911's introduction of direct fuel injection nor the option of Porsche's PDK gearbox. Porsche cite the 20kg saving, and customer preference for mechanical interaction, as the logic for sticking with a conventional six-speed manual transmission.The Gen II car was powered by an enlarged version of the motorsport-derived, flat-six, now displacing 3.8-litres instead of 3.6, increasing power by 20bhp to 429bhp. Torque is also bolstered, particularly through the mid-range, whilst economy and emissions also benefitted and significant aerodynamic tweaks generated substantial extra downforce neatly offset by the larger engine's increased torque. Other detailed changes included lighter wheels, with a single centre bolt, shaving 2.5kg from the unsprung mass, and larger yet lighter front discs brakes.Delivered new to Porsche Slovenia in July 2009, this 911 would have been among the earliest 997-series cars to be built to the improved Generation II specification. It is estimated that in 2009, the first year of these '997.2' models, only 766 Porsche 911 GT3s were built.The car you see here is one of them and, rarer still, it was specified new as a factory Clubsport example - a designation that has become recognised worldwide as adorning only the very best driver's cars. Flawlessly finished in the desirable double-black colour scheme, this GT3 Clubsport manages to be exciting and yet almost subtle, with only the centre lock wheels, red callipers and rear wing alluding to its performance capabilities.On the inside, the lightweight seats, harnesses, fire extinguisher and roll cage are the more obvious Clubsport additions. However, that's not to say that this GT3 has been compromised for road use; the seats are in fact remarkably comfortable and the harnesses and fire extinguisher remain unfitted, boxed and stored in the boot. Given this and the GT3's stunning condition, we wouldn't be surprised if it has never even seen a racetrack.At 8 months old the GT3 Clubsport migrated back home to Germany, where it was registered to a specialist engineering company north of Frankfurt. A year later the Porsche was sold to a packaging firm, before being transferred into the Managing Director's name in May 2013. At this point, the car had covered 11,368km and an inspection two years later show that the mileage had only increased to 14,436km.The third owner bought the Porsche in 2017 to add to his significant private collection and it was from there that our vendor was able to acquire it.The stamped service records indicate that the car benefitted from a Porsche service on 13-09-2011 at 8,074km, 08-09-2014 at 13,420km and most recently was treated to a comprehensive service and a fresh MOT at Paragon Porsche here in the UK on 15/06/2020 at 14,992km. Today the 911 has still only covered 9,323 miles (15,005km) from new and is unquestionably among the best in existence.With a proper manual gearbox, 45-years of continuous 911 development and a 3.8-litre flat-six, it's little wonder that these GT3s are a favourite among motoring journalists and have become a must-have road car for racing drivers and collectors alike.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The basic facts can look a bit dry; Type 993, 450 bhp, 3605cc air-cooled flat six-cylinder engine with twin turbochargers and electronic fuel injection, six-speed manual transaxle, front and rear independent suspension with coil springs, and four-wheel ventilated steel disc brakes, however, the Turbo S was a big step up over the standard 911 Turbo in terms of performance and price. Headlined by a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds, the Turbo S could hit 100 mph from a standstill in 8.9 seconds, only half a second faster than the standard Turbo. But that didn't matter, the Turbo S was special and getting your name on the waiting list to buy one was nigh on impossible unless you were very closely related to a Dealer Principal. All 345 examples of the 993 Turbo S were built by Porsche's Exclusive department and the specification included a number of unique features when compared to other 911s of the period. The car sported yellow brake callipers, a unique rear spoiler, polished five-spoke Turbo S wheels, an Aerokit front spoiler, an air intake in the rear wings, and four exhaust pipes at the rear. Inside, the 911 Turbo S luxuriated in carbon fibre trim contrasting with the softest of leathers and provided the type of luxury that customers had come to know and love from Porsche's top-shelf models.This, 'C16' UK-Supplied, right-hand drive, Turbo S is one of only 26 and has covered a remarkable 29,097 miles from new.

The glass roof slides underneath the rear window creating an open-air motoring experience without the hassle of a convertible. The new design allowed the Targa to retain the same profile design as the other Carrera variants and freed the driver from the inconvenience of storing the detached roof. Delivered on the 28th of August 1997, this particular Arctic Silver C2 Targa with the desirable six-speed manual gearbox has covered less than 24,000 miles from new. Leaving the factory with Sport Seats, Optional Rear Wiper, and a Graduated Tint Windshield, the condition throughout is exemplary and would be extremely difficult to better. Accompanied by a complete book pack, numerous invoices, previous MOT Certificates, and spare keys. A true long-distance tourer with the look of the Coupe but the benefits of a convertible.

Bigger turbos, from the X50 Powerkit, were fitted boosting output to 450bhp and the car's top speed broke through that magic 300km/h barrier, with a maximum of 190mph (307km/h) placing it firmly in supercar territory.

A 'C16', right-hand drive, 993 RS with only 16,117 miles from newThe 1995 Carrera RS provides some of the most visceral thrills available in a road car3.8-litre flat-6, VarioRam intake and remapped ECU create 300bhp fed to the rear wheelsLarge fixed wing on the back with integrated ram intakes and a deep chin spoilerThe 993 RS was undoubtedly Stuttgart's most pure and refined form of the final generation, air-cooled 911A very special C16, UK supplied right-hand drive with only 16,117 miles from newFinished in black, this very special car has led a noble life having been part of the private collections of the Earl of Mexborough and Lord BamfordWhilst the 964 Carrera RS, that debuted several years earlier, is seen as uncompromisingly hardcore, the 1995 model year benefitted from all the work that had been done developing the new 993 platform. Nearly 80% of the parts were specifically engineered for this next generation and a new alloy subframe served as the base for the redesigned multi-link rear suspension. Generally, this improved stability along with ride quality and reduced the tendency for the car to oversteer off-throttle like the older cars. Along with the other improvements, too quantifiably large to list, Porsche had created the best 911 to date.It would only get better with the arrival of the new RS, much of the focus having been spent on reducing weight. Electric windows, adjustable mirrors, central locking, headlight washers, and audio speakers were all luxuries sacrificed in the name of speed. However, the extensive diet did not stop there. Porsche even went so far as to reduce the size of the windshield washer bottle and decrease the thickness of the glass. Well-bolstered leather bucket seats saved an additional 66lbs and sound insulation was removed throughout the car. Simple door cards with pull straps instead of door handles rounded off the extensive weight-saving measures. The car was powered by a 3746cc, DOHC Flat-6 with the VarioRam intake system and Motronic Engine Management combining to generate 300bhp at 6,500rpm fed to the rear-mounted, 6-speed manual transaxle. Four-wheel independent suspension, disc brakes all round and state of the art aerodynamics offered superb balance and the RS was capable of providing some of the most visceral thrills available in a road car.This, C16, UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 993RS has covered just 16,117 miles from new. Finished in black, this very special car has led an illustrious life, having been part of some significant private collections including the Earl of Mexborough and Lord Bamford. There are 9 stamps in the accompanying service book and the history file includes all the manuals/books, reams of invoices, past MOTs, spare keys and a detailed list of previous owners.This car has formed part of another significant collection for the past few years and in preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate. A safety check will also be carried out along with an inspection report included in the history file.The 993 RS was undoubtedly Stuttgart's most pure and refined form of the final generation, air-cooled 911 and, we imagine, will always be a Porsche 911 benchmark investment.

Classic British V8 Drophead with the desirable manual gearbox.Restored around five years ago and remaining impressive.Fitted with the desirable manual gearbox and overdriveFinished in gleaming Leyland White with a smart Black vinyl interiorMatching numbers. Engine fully rebuilt. Immaculate engine bayA really superb example of Triumph's innovative designThe market for Stags of this quality has been warming for some timeLike the Triumph 2000, from which it was developed, the Stag was styled by Italian maestro Giovanni Michelotti and featured the monocoque construction, independent suspension, disc/drum brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and driveline of that saloon. The power plant, though, was an all-new OHC, V8 of 3,000cc capacity fed by a pair of Stromberg carburettors. The newcomer received a warm reception at the time of launch in 1970.Offered as part of The Anthony Hamilton Collection, this Triumph Stag is finished in Leyland White with a black vinyl interior and is, without doubt, one of the best examples available. Originally delivered to Leyland dealer, Newbury Motors Ltd on 21st April 1977 and first registered on the 3rd of June fitted with a number of factory options including a Hardtop, Alloy wheels, Sundym windscreen, Overdrive, Inertia-reel safety belts, and headrests.Having been enjoyed by four previous owners, it was decided in 2015 that the car deserved a full restoration and the history file contains a comprehensive photographic record of the process. The engine was totally rebuilt at this time and a photo of the engine number confirms it matches the original registration documentation. The mileage is currently 57,283 which is substantiated by a sales invoice from 1985 at circa 34,000 miles and older MOTs.

One of the most stylish modern GT cars ever manufactured.Introduced in 2003 and developed jointly with the McLaren Technology CentrePowered by a hand-built 5.4-litre, supercharged all-aluminium V8 producing 617bhp/575lb.ftAMG Speedshift R five-speed automatic transmission with three manual modesJust less than 11,000 miles from new. Recent SLR-specialist service and MOTSuperbly presented in Designo Black Metallic with a red-stitched black Alcantara interiorOn offer from a significant private collection with a close relationship with Mercedes and McLarenManufactured between 2003 and 2010, their new supercar allowed Mercedes-Benz and its then Formula 1 partner, McLaren, to showcase their collective experience in the development, construction and production of high-performance sports cars and, just like its legendary 300 SLR predecessor of 1955, it incorporated technological developments that were ahead of their time. Yet the term 'supercar' does not do full justice to the SLR, which, its peerless performance notwithstanding, is a luxurious and finely engineered Gran Turismo in the best traditions of Mercedes-Benz. Rather than creating an all-out, no-compromise supercar, Mercedes-Benz and McLaren decided to take a slightly different route. Instead of placing the engine behind the cabin, the car had a front-mid-engine layout, with the engine sitting behind the front wheels and just ahead of the cabin. This, near-perfect, weight distribution not only helped to improve the SLR's handling but also provided the car with a rather spacious cabin and a decent boot, not common in cars boasting such performance credentials. As it was supremely engineered and built to incredible standards at McLaren's facilities in Woking, it boasted a very high level of fit and finish, absolutely appropriate for any car wearing a Mercedes-Benz badge.The heart of any car is its engine, and that of the SLR McLaren is truly outstanding. Produced at Mercedes-Benz's AMG Performance Division, it's a 5.5-litre, 24-valve, supercharged V8 producing 617bhp, making it one of the most powerful engines ever found in a series-produced road-going sports car. Impressive though this peak horsepower figure is, it's the torque produced by the Lysholm-type twin-screw supercharger that is its most remarkable feature. The torque curve is almost flat: there is already 440lb/ft by 1,500 rpm and well over 500lb/ft between 3,000 and 5,000 revs, and acceleration is equally phenomenal, with 0 to 60 mph taking just 3.8 seconds and the quarter-mile only 11 seconds. Of course, a car with such impressive speed credentials also requires an equally impressive braking system. An automatic airbrake and Mercedes-Benz's Sensotronic "brake by wire" system assist the massive carbon-ceramic disc brakes and help bring the SLR McLaren down from 120 mph to a stop in less than 240 feet.Of course, it's only right that the Anthony Hamilton Collection included a McLaren so synonymous with the name and four successful F1 years with the marque and, looking very much the part, this left-hand-drive example is finished in Designo Black Metallic with a red-stitched black Alcantara interior.The owner's file indicates it was serviced in 2013 at 8,995 miles by Mercedes-Benz Brooklands and has recently been MOT'd and serviced by an SLR specialist. The current mileage is approximately 10,990. A rare collaboration between two iconic powerhouse manufacturers coupled with ultra-low production numbers and insane performance figures, Mercedes-Benz SLR McLarens represent incredible value in today's market and are sure to be coveted by future generations. An excellent opportunity to acquire a superb example with interesting motorsport provenance.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

A superbly restored C1 "Fuelie" Corvette. Seriously coolSt Louis-built in early 1957. Fitted with a 283bhp, 4.6-litre V8 and manual gearboxRestored in 1996 by the world-renowned Glen Vaughn Restorations from Post Falls, IdahoFinished in Onyx Black with a fabulous bright red interior, the whole car is spectacularAll major components are 'year-correct' stamped in accordance with 1957 factory numberingThis Corvette is one of the most exacting and best restorations Silverstone Auctions has ever seenChevrolet pulled something amazing out of the hat for 1957: fuel injection. First trialled in 1956 at Sebring, the Rochester Ramjet injection was a response to Mercedes-Benz, which featured fuel-injection in the 1954 300SL. The innovation solved a fuel starvation problem caused by fuel moving to one side of the float chamber when cornering hard and allowing air into the system. Not a problem on the road as it was almost impossible to maintain the prolonged lateral forces generated by race conditions. The fuel injection system also enabled Chevrolet to gain bragging-rights by achieving, for the first time in a standard road car, 1 hp per cubic inch of displacement with their 283 cu.inch,/ 283 hp engine.To keep this development in perspective, consider this; almost all of the high-priced, supposedly advanced competition, including Jaguar, Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini, did not utilise fuel injection until the 1970s or later in their road cars. At $484.20, this one option added over 15% to the price of an entire Corvette. Buyers found it irresistible, however, with 1,040 ticking the box on the order form in '57. Current Corvette enthusiasts would acknowledge that in terms of desirability, there is a premium for a "Fuelie" (as they are often called), compared to their more mundane carburetted cousins.This fabulous example was built in the St. Louis Missouri plant in late February 1957 fitted with the 283bhp, 4.6-litre V8 and three-speed manual transmission. The car was restored in 1996 by Glen Vaughn Restorations, a world-renowned top-end business in Post Falls Idaho, who have a reputation for carrying out the whole process in house and only outsource really specialised components. Now finished in gleaming Onyx Black with an immaculate Bright Red interior, the quality of the restoration is evident by the fact that the Corvette remains at a 'Concours' level of presentation. Without a doubt, this Corvette is one of the most exacting and best restorations Silverstone Auctions has ever seen. It's just beautiful and is totally year-correct with every component from the engine, gearbox, back axle etc. being correctly numbered as from the factory. Everything, right down to the unique distributor and coil is correct and the build quality is almost beyond comparison.This stunning Corvette would grace any world event and is simply a beautiful piece of automotive history to drive and enjoy. Early Corvettes are becoming seriously cool and this lovely example, in this colour combination, and in this condition is verging on 'Polar'.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

A fabulous example of Ford's inimitable 'GT' and only 43 miles from new. Unrepeatable!Assembled in Wixom, Michigan in January 2006 and finished in Mk IV Red Clearcoat550bhp, 5.4-litre, dual overhead camshaft, electronic fuel injection, supercharged, V8Fitted with active safety belts, airbags, optional forged BBS wheels and racing stripesUS-supplied and unregistered with just 43 milesThis rare GT is worthy of a place in any collectors stable and should not be missed at today's guideThe Ford GT began life as a concept car designed in anticipation of the carmaker's centennial year and as part of its drive to showcase and revive its heritage models such as the Mustang and Thunderbird. At the 2002 North American International Auto Show, Ford unveiled a new GT40 concept car. Camilo Pardo, the then head of Ford's Living Legends studio, is credited as the chief designer of the GT and worked under the guidance of J Mays and Carroll Shelby, the original designer of the Shelby GT500, was brought in by Ford to help develop the GT including performance testing of the prototype.The GT is similar in outward appearance to the original GT40 but is bigger, wider, and most importantly four in (100 mm) taller than the original's 40 in (100 cm) overall height; as a result, a potential name for the car was the GT44. Although the cars are visually related, structurally, there is no similarity between the modern GT and the 1960's GT40 that inspired it. Three pre-production cars were shown to the public in 2003 as part of Ford's centenary celebrations, and delivery of the production version, simply called the Ford GT, began in the Autumn of 2004.The ultra-high performance Ford GT showcases the finest in advanced technologies, constructed on a lightweight aluminium chassis clothed in superplastic-formed lightweight composite and aluminium body panels. Powered by a mid-mounted, hand-built, supercharged quad-cam 550bhp V8 engine mated to a 6-speed manual transaxle and featuring racing-derived suspension and braking systems, the GT is hugely powerful and delivers astounding performance. It can accelerate from 0-60 in about 3.5 seconds, hurtling on to some 205mph before the speed limiter kicks in. When production ceased in 2006, with just over 4,000 Ford GTs produced, 101 were delivered new to Europe and only a handful to other markets, this epic Ford had made its mark on automotive history once again - and became an instant collector's car.From its VIN number, we can tell that the car on offer today was assembled in Wixom, Michigan during January 2006. It was specified with active safety belts and driver and passenger airbags and was powered by a 5.4-litre, dual overhead camshaft, electronic fuel injection, supercharged, V8. It left the factory finished in 'Mk IV Red Clearcoat' with a Centennial White stripe and an Ebony interior bound for distributor Autofair Ford Inc. of Manchester, New Hampshire prior to being dispatched to its first lucky owner in Madrid.In 2014, it was imported into the UK and the history file contains the NOVA, making UK-registration a formality if required with all taxes paid. It was purchased from David Jones', dedicated Ford GT specialist, GT101 Ltd. by our vendor and, at the time of cataloguing had covered just 43 miles. The history file contains all the relevant records, Certificate of Origin and title documents tracking its passage to the point today, where it's possible to acquire a delivery-mileage Ford GT.Given its inimitable heritage, prolific performance, stunning design, and the thrilling driving experience, the Ford GT is a very special creation that will undoubtedly be revered for many years to come.

An evocative piece of Triumph TR history that has been saved for posterity.A right-hand drive, press launch TR8 Convertible with 124 miles from new.A rare survivor of the mass disposal of Triumph TR assets in 1981/1982Purchased through a British Leyland dealer by a 'friend of a friend' and spirited awayFinished in striking Pharaoh Gold with a tan leather and plaid interiorEffectively delivery mileage and carefully stored sinceThe TR6 that was replaced in 1975 by the four-cylinder TR7 was, without doubt, a flawed and old-fashioned design, however, it did maintain a heritage of open-topped TRs that originated in the early 1950s. Its demise came at a time when cutting costs and component sharing were the driving force behind Leyland product planning, leading enthusiasts to fear for the future of their once-proud brand.Yet, waiting in the wings but delayed by constant strikes, lockouts, bickering, and bloody-mindedness was a V8 version of the TR7 that would make its appearance more than three years after the four-cylinder. A batch of 150 cars carrying the 'TR7 V8' designation had been built during 1977 but one of Leyland's now-legendary strikes ended the attempt to bring the model to market for 1978. Two years on and after shifting production to the Rover plant at Solihull, North American buyers were finally granted their first glimpse of a Triumph sports car that offered some serious performance attributes. Its tenure, sadly, was destined to be short-lived.The TR8 that appeared on the North American market in July 1979 used the all-alloy 3.5-litre V8 engine that had been powering Rovers since 1966. Most of the initial build cars came with dual Zenith Stromberg carburettors - only those sold into emission-conscious California using fuel injection from the outset. Early TR8s were only available in Coupe form - the much-admired convertible not reaching the market until October of their introductory year.Features of the production TR8s included standard power steering and a five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. The wedge-effect styling wasn't to everyone's taste and the trim in very '70s tartan-insert cloth dated even faster than the sheet metal, however, interior space and overall practicality were high on the list of positive attributes.All but around 300 of the TR8s made were convertibles reflecting the preference of US buyers for open-top sports cars - especially since their domestic manufacturers had virtually forsaken the soft-top - but also to maximise the viability of the open-top TR7.Offered here is a fabulous part of the Triumph TR story in the shape of an unregistered TR8 with just 124 miles from new. British Leyland had finally decided to introduce the TR8 to the UK and European markets in November 1981 and had assembled just fourteen right-hand drive cars at the Lode Lane Solihull plant some weeks before. These cars went to the press shop at the Triumph works in Canley Coventry for final preparation, detailing etc. prior to the press launch. However, chaos continued to rule at BL and the management picked this moment to cancel the whole TR range and plans to build the TR8 in any volume were scrapped. The order was subsequently given by senior British Leyland management to clear all vehicle stocks which included the fourteen un-registered and unsold TR8s languishing at Canley.Happily, this particular car was spared from the impending disposal and was purchased by its first owner 'out of the back door' having been tipped off by a BL director friend and the sale was channelled through a British Leyland dealer. The history file contains the original V55/4.The car is finished in striking Pharaoh Gold with a Tan and plaid interior and remains in a condition commensurate with its 124 miles. This special performance TR convertible is a very evocative piece of Triumph history that has been saved for posterity.

This right-hand-drive example has only 12,427 miles from new (20,512 km)2.3-litre, 16-valve engine producing 185 bhp. 0-62 mph in less than eight seconds, and a top speed of 143 mphGetrag 5-speed manual gearbox was unique to the 16-valve and featured a racing gear pattern with a dog-leg first gearThe 190E 2.3-16 was only available in two colours, Blue-Black metallic or Smoke SilverThis right-hand-drive example has only 12,745 miles from new (20,512 km) and is finished in Smoke SilverThe Mercedes-Benz W201 was a compact executive saloon car manufactured by Mercedes-Benz from 1982 to 1993. Supposedly, Mercedes spent over £600 million researching and developing the 190 and subsequently it was deemed 'over-engineered' in an era when Mercedes engineering was widely revered. In the late 1970s, Mercedes had some good results competing in rallying with V8-powered R107 Series Coupés and naturally, they were keen to build on this success by taking the 190E on a similar path. Not having the expertise in-house at the time, Mercedes approached British engineering company Cosworth, to develop a competitive engine for the rally car. Unfortunately, this project took off just as the Audi Quattro, with its all-wheel drive and turbocharger was launched, making the 2.3-16v appear somewhat outclassed. With a continued desire for the 190 to succeed in high profile motorsport, and also now a state of the art engine with which to do it, Mercedes turned to the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM) (German Touring Car Championship) motorsport series instead. However, cars racing in this championship had to be based on a road-going model, a minimum number of which had been sold to the public, so Mercedes, therefore, had to put into series production a 190 fitted with a detuned version of the Cosworth engine.This high-performance model was known as the 190E 2.3-16 and debuted at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September 1983. In road-going trim, the 2.3-litre 16-valve engine produced 185 bhp with acceleration from 0-62 mph in less than eight seconds and a top speed of 143 mph. The engine is considered to be remarkably flexible with a very flat torque curve and a wide powerband. There were other notable changes over the standard 190. The body-kit on the 2.3-16 reduced the drag coefficient to 0.32, one of the lowest CD values on a four-door saloon at the time, whilst also reducing lift at speed. The steering ratio was quicker and the steering wheel smaller than that on other 190s, whilst the fuel tank was enlarged from 55 to 70 litres. The Getrag 5-speed manual gearbox was unique to the 16-valve and featured a 'racing' gear pattern with a 'dog-leg' first gear. An oil cooler was fitted to ensure sufficient oil cooling for the inevitable track use for which many of these cars were destined. The strictly four-seater interior had Recaro sports seats with strong side bolsters for front and rear passengers. Three extra dials, an oil temperature gauge, stopwatch and voltmeter were included in the centre console. The 190E 2.3-16 was only available in two colours, Blue-Black metallic or Smoke Silver. The suspension on 16-valve models is very different from the standard 190, as well as being lower and stiffer - it has quicker dampers, larger anti-roll bars, harder bushes, a limited-slip differential and hydraulic self-levelling suspension (SLS) on the rear. This allows the rear ride height to remain constant even when the car is fully loaded.The first owner of this spectacular 190E 2.3 placed an order through Mercedes-Benz (United Kingdom) Ltd. in July 1985 and specified this example in Smoke Silver with options including, outside temp, additional mirror, height-adjustable seats, tinted glass and fire extinguisher. Documents within the detailed history file indicate the car had been registered in the UK before being exported to New-Zealand. Within the original book-pack is the service booklet showing a pre-delivery inspection at the Mercedes-Benz, Piccadilly garage in January 1986. The car was then exported with all supporting documentation and first registered in New Zealand in May 1988.Accompanying the car is the aforementioned history file containing the original purchase order, original book-pack with service book stamped up-to-date, registration documents, export/import documents, invoices for servicing and maintenance over the years in New-Zealand, a recent invoice from Mercedes-Benz for a service dated February 2020 and a current MOT valid until February 2021.In summary, this fine example must be quite simply the 'Holy Grail' to any classic car collector or enthusiast. Offered in remarkable condition and accompanied by a detailed history folder showing just 12,427 miles or 20,512km, rarely do examples as good as this come to market.

Designed to showcase the new smooth and torquey 5.3-litre engine, originally developed for Le Mans, the Series 3 cars were available as a 'Roadster' (convertible) or a '2+2' Coupé. These later cars are easily distinguished from their six-cylinder predecessors by the large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tyres, a pronounced bonnet bulge, updated bumpers, four exhaust tips and a badge on the rear that proclaims it to be a V12. It also featured uprated brakes, power steering as standard and a large horizontal scoop added to the underside of the bonnet to assist with cooling. The interior was entirely new in the V12, with more comfortable seating, stylish new door panels and a smaller, dished and leather-rimmed steering wheel. Being slightly larger and altogether much softer in nature, the E-Type in Series 3 form had lost the wildness of its youth but gained the long-legged touring profile, to which it was arguably better suited. Approximately 7,990 Series 3 Roadsters were sold worldwide before production ceased in 1975.We are pleased to offer this original right-hand drive, manual gearbox, UK-supplied 1973 E-Type Series 3 Roadster which, according to its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, was built on 23/02/1973 finished in Signal Red with a black leather interior, a black hood and chrome wire wheels. It was dispatched to Clark & Lambert in Eastbourne and initially registered as 'JNJ 701L', the registration number it still carries today. From the car's extensive history file we can see that it was exported to Switzerland in 1984 returning to the UK in 1997. It's been with its current custodian for seven years, however, prior to this was subject to a full restoration and engine rebuild in the late nineties to a superb level with patent attention to detail as is evident by the 'factory gap' panel fit and the well-presented underside and engine bay. In more recent years it's been maintained by marque specialists P & K Thornton and David Marks and invoices include one for a gearbox rebuild at 7,800 miles. The odometer was 'zeroed' at the point of restoration and the current indicated mileage is 8,201. The car has been used lightly over recent years and an MOT from 2001 details the mileage as 6,905 meaning this remarkable Series 3 has covered less than 1,300 miles since then, although regularly MOT'd.It's accompanied by an excellent Owner's File which contains many invoices from Switzerland and the UK, its Heritage Certificate, an original Jaguar Operations Manual, old MOTs and details of the restoration.In E-Type terms, this lovely example seems to tick all the boxes; UK-supplied, right-hand drive, manual gearbox, matching numbers, Signal Red, chrome wires, good history, Heritage Certificate, fully restored, in lovely condition and sensibly guided.
