Registration No: FRB 418L Chassis No: 5917T MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership for some twenty-two years1 of just 12 Marcos GTs with the Triumph 2500cc engineNotably improved during the vendor's ownershipExtensive chassis enhancementsMarcos was founded in 1959 by Jem Marsh and Frank Costin, and it was Costin's earlier work on the De Havilland Mosquito that led to the newcomer's first monocoque chassis being constructed from marine plywood. The later Luton-built versions benefited from less radical styling by Dennis Adams and were powered by a range of Ford engines. Nine Xylons and 13 Luton Gullwings saw the light of day, many of which were raced - light and nimble, they were very successful; especially in the hands of Jackie Stewart, Jackie Oliver and Marsh himself. Costin left the company in 1961, following which all design matters fell to Dennis Adams and his brother Peter, and it was their GT of 1964 that really put Marcos on the map. By 1969 the famous wooden chassis had been usurped by a more conventional steel one, and by 1971 Ford V6 power had been exchanged for that of the Volvo straight-six engine widely used until Marcos was forced into liquidation in 1972.Chassis 5917T was manufactured in 1972, being first registered on the road on the 21st of August that year. One of just twelve GTs fitted with the Triumph 2.5-litre straight-six engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, the Marcos is finished in Red paintwork with Black vinyl interior upholstery and has a Black sunroof. In previous ownership from 1992, the Marcos is understood to have received either a full replacement (non-Marcos) chassis or extensive chassis repairs, which appear to be of a better quality than the original. Acquired by the vendor in 2002, the Marcos was running (albeit poorly) and requiring improvement when purchased.The vendor then provided the Marcos with an engine overhaul including changing to twin SU carburettors from Strombergs and thereafter used ‘FRB 418L’ regularly for around five years. Gradually improved across the vendor's ownership, the Marcos has benefitted from bodywork improvements, paintwork throughout including the underside of the bonnet and boot, changes to enhance the usability including better headlamps and the inclusion of indicator and wiper sticks onto the steering column, a new fuel tank, and re-trimmed sunroof. Starting readily and both running and driving well during our photography session, the Marcos has been used for shows and events but has seen minimal use since the lockdown.Supplied with previous MOTs and tax discs, old photographs, and a current V5C document, the Marcos is accompanied by the original alloy wheels. Showing some 79,500 miles on the odometer, the Marcos has two former keepers recorded on the V5C document. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
Registration No: W61 RPB Chassis No: YS3DF75C617000288 MOT: March 2025One lady owner from newVery low mileage having covered a warranted 24,500 milesDesirable Turbo SE example with the rare manual gearboxOffered with the original stamped service book showing excellent service historySurely one of, if not the best example extant?When it came to replacing the classic 900, SAAB’s paymasters General Motors were looking for a lightly restyled Vectra. Typically, they didn’t get it. The NG900, later renamed 9-3, so comprehensively departed from its GM underpinnings that little was left. That was good news for buyers, who got a typically innovative and well-engineered car with an ultra-reliable 2-litre turbocharged SAAB engine. Enthusiasts are now returning to these 9-3s for precisely these qualities, with the convertible particularly appealing for its four-seater versatility, with three or five-door hatchbacks or a two-door Convertible having been available. The SE boasts a sportier look with a front chin spoiler, flared rocker panels, a new rear valence, body-coloured mirrors and a sports steering wheel, and with 250bhp, offering 0-60mph in 7.3 seconds and 143mph.Chassis number ‘617000288’ was supplied new by Saab main agents Ian Allan Motors of Virginia Water, Surrey to its first lady owner, who has retained the Saab for its whole life. Finished in Silver paintwork with Grey leather interior upholstery, wooden dash veneers, and a Black electric hood, the Saab also features electric windows, heated seats, a CD radio player, and alloy wheels. A Turbo example in SE specification, ‘W61 RPB’ pleasingly retains its original front and rear dealer number plates, SAAB floor mats, spare wheel, and original jack and warning triangle, and is offered for sale now having covered just c.24,500 warranted miles from new.The Saab is accompanied to sale by the original book pack containing the owner’s manual, dealer map, SAAB security guide, in-car safety leaflet, SAAB assistance, quick reference guide, and the stamped service book, all presented in the SAAB wallet. The stamped service book illustrates an excellent service history with fifteen services plus the PDI, with the majority of those completed by the supplying dealership or SAAB specialists, the most recent of which being completed in January this year (by a well-respected specialist) at 24,501 miles. Also offered with a current V5C document showing zero former keepers, very good MOT history, and a ‘no advisory’ MOT certificate until March 2025.A notably nice example and driving very well for the photography session, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a one-owner and low mileage 9-3 SE Turbo Convertible and is therefore ideal for preservation or as an addition to a private collection. Surely one of, if not the best example extant? For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
Registration No: OEJ 665 Chassis No: A-AV8/13582 MOT: ExemptThe subject of restoration work in recent yearsSome £4,500 of parts purchaseFront disc brake conversion and other uprgadesOriginal owner's manual and a collection of spare parts includedIntroduced in 1956, the Austin A35 could be had as a two- or four-door saloon, two-door Countryman estate or Van. The latter became a familiar sight the length and breadth of the UK serving tradesmen and delivery drivers alike. Powered by three different A-Series OHV four-cylinder engines during its twelve-year production life, the diminutive commercial was surprisingly fun to drive thanks to the provision of independent front suspension, a well-located hypoid rear axle and hydraulic drum brakes. With so many worked into the ground, survivors are comparatively few and far between.First registered in the UK on 9th October 1962 and destined for Evans Motors Limited, Camarthen and then likely, Lloyd Motors, Aberayron (dealer sticker on the car) for Thomas Davies of Treberfedd Farm, Lampeter, and just 1 former keeper is recorded on the V5C. Accompanied by a BMIHT certificate, in 2020, the owner has taken the time to put the van back on its original 1962 issued registration number ‘OEJ 665’, as recorded manually in a copy of a local authority ‘Record of Motor Vehicles’ on file.In recent years the van has been the subject of restoration work to bring the condition back to a usable and conserved condition. There are many invoices on file for parts purchased at a cost in excess of £4,500, many from ESM Morris Minors Ltd. In 2021 and 2022, amongst the items supplied: the front horseshoe, a new rear bumper, wheel bearings rocker and sump gaskets, rear chassis legs, poly bushes, rear hangers, back axle hub and pinion seal, gearbox front cover and a clutch kit. Additionally, work on the braking system included the rear brake frame cylinder assembly and a front disc brake conversion.The engine received new big ends and mains, pistons and rings, thrust bearings, oil and water pumps, a duplex timing chain, a spin-off oil filter conversion, alternator conversion, alloy radiator, leads, plugs, points, a reconditioned exchange unleaded cylinder head, fuel pump, pipes and SU carb filters. Body panels purchased from ESM included front and rear panels, kick and sill panels. Inside there is an aftermarket rev counter, map light and a modern radio unit. Accompanying the little van are a couple of period Austin books, collection of spares and a current V5C. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760
