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. The history file contains a pristine copy of the original sales brochure.This is a really stunning example, well restored, in a lovely colour combination and fitted with a manual/overdrive gearbox, the most desirable transmission option.

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.

Property of a deceased's estate1953 Velocette 349cc MACRegistration no. 602 XUFFrame no. RS3003Engine no. MAC 17893Odometer reading: 22,771 miles not warrantedMoT expiry date: 18 May 2009•Dating from the first year of sprung-frame MAC production•Believed an older restoration•Requires re-commissioningIn 1933 Veloce Limited augmented its established range of overhead-camshaft models with an overhead-valve 250 - the MOV. The newcomer's power unit was a 'high camshaft' design with enclosed valves, and the compact and sprightly machine featured a four-speed gearbox equipped with the company's new foot-change mechanism. The following year an overhead-valve 350 built along MOV lines appeared. This was the long-stroke MAC, which was subsequently bored out to create the 500cc MSS. Post-war, the trio of overhead-valve Velocettes continued much as before, with rigid frames and - initially - Webb girder forks. The MAC gained an alloy cylinder barrel and 'head for 1951, as well as Velocette's own telescopic front fork in place of the previous Dowty, and was further updated with a swinging-arm frame in 1953. The MAC was last produced in 1960.Dating from the first year of sprung-frame MAC production, this apparently nicely restored example was purchased by the current registered keeper in November 2012, being described by the seller at that time as in beautiful condition, and cosmetically to a very high standard (sales receipt and advertisement on file). The age-related registration was issued in 2007, which is possibly when the machine was restored. The engine turns over but it is not known when '602 XUF' last ran or its present mechanical condition. Sold strictly as viewed, the machine will require re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before further use. Accompanying documentation includes a V5C document, expired MoT (2009), and the aforementioned paperwork. An original service manual and spare parts book are included in the sale.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 50/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

Property of a deceased's estate1992 Ducati 750SSRegistration no. K516 WPHFrame no. ZDM750SC 000879Engine no. ZDMA2C 000899Odometer reading: 7,153 km - not warrantedMoT expiry date: 21 July 2011•With the present (third) owner since 2010•Requires re-commissioning•Trademark 'trellis' frameThe arrival of Ducati's all-new, eight-valve, water-cooled v-twin 851 Superbike in the late 1980s led to a comprehensive re-structuring of the range, the appearance of this range-topping WSBK contender creating a niche for a series of super-sports roadsters. That gap would be filled first by the 900SS that arrived in 1991, reviving one of the great model designations from the Bologna factory's past. The newcomer used a development of Ducati's long running 'belt drive' v-twin motor, designed by the legendary Fabio Taglioni, that had first appeared in 1978 in the Pantah 500. Air-cooled and with two-valves-per-cylinder, the 80bhp 900SS was simpler, easier to maintain and, of course, less costly than the 851 Superbike. In style though, it gave nothing away to its more exotic cousin, having the same distinctive 'trellis' frame, now an established Ducati trademark. Handling was, needless to say, exemplary. 750SS and 600SS versions followed. Relatively light (395lbs) and nimble, and with a maximum power output of 60bhp, the 750SS was no sluggard, boasting a top speed of more than 124mph. Purchased by the late (third) owner in 2010, this Ducati 750SS currently displays a total of 7,153 kilometres (approximately 4,400 miles) on the odometer and is presented in age-related condition. It is not known when the machine was last used, although the presence of a 2011-expired tax disc may be an indication. Requiring a replacement battery, no attempt has been made to start the Ducati, which will require re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration, including a major service and change of cam belts, before returning to the road. Accompanying paperwork includes correspondence, a V5C document, expired MoTs, and the original instruction manual and warranty/service booklet (blank).

LFF 810Chassis no. 205245DNOdometer Reading: TBAMoT Expiry: Exempt*The Jaguar MkII in its ultimate specification*Present ownership since 2007*Engine rebuilt in 2011/2012*Running gear overhauled in 2014*Body restoration and re-spray 2016*Extensively campaigned and well maintainedRepresenting Jaguar's perennially popular Mk2 saloon in its ultimate 3.8-litre manual/overdrive specification, chassis number '205245DN' was delivered to Greenhill Motors via Henlys of London, and originally was finished in Opalescent Silver Grey with a red interior. The car's first owner was Robert Day Film Production Ltd of London SW14.In December 1976, the car passed into the ownership of Cyril Humphries of Essex and by this time had been repainted Carmen Red. The Jaguar had three further owners, all in Essex, and in January 1996 was inspected by Cartwrights, being described as in first class condition, only requiring a handful of minor works to bring it to concours standard. It was then sold to Bespokes Classic Car Hire Ltd of Watford. In May 2001 a replacement engine (number 'ZA2643-8') was sourced from VSE and fitted, and in October 2004 the car was acquired from West Barn Classic Ltd by the Classic Car Club of London N1. The current vendor bought 'LFF 810' from Epping Motor Company in February 2007.Since then the Jaguar has been extensively campaigned and enjoyed, as detailed in the vendor's fascinating personal log of all activities, maintenance work, expenditure and mileage totals (perusal recommended). Events attended and venues visited include the Goodwood Revival; Norwich Union Run; Circuit de Reims; Circuit Paul Armagnac, Nogaro; Circuit des Ramparts, Angoulême; Beaulieu Autoumble; and Brooklands. The car's most recent adventure involved an extended tour of France in September/October 2018, during which it covered 1,835 miles in three weeks with no problems apart from a couple of easily fixed fluid leaks. The aforementioned log shows that 'LFF 810' has been maintained with no expense spared while in the vendor's long-term stewardship. Major works undertaken include an engine overhaul by marque specialist Alan Collins in the winter 2011/2012, and overhaul of the suspension, brakes, and steering by JD Classics in August 2014. JD Classics also fitted a pair of refurbished 2' SU HD8 carburettors, replacing the standard (and worn) 1¾' items, together with a suitably modified inlet manifold. In April 2016 extensive bodywork repairs and full re-spray were carried out by Splined Hub; bonnet louvres were cut at the same time, and the interior woodwork re-lacquered and veneer on dashboard panels replaced. Described by the vendor as in generally good condition, this obviously much-loved Jaguar Mk2 is offered with a V5C document; bills relating to the 2016 restoration; and the aforementioned log.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 79/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.
