1979 Mini 95 pickup Registration XCE 172T, Engine Number 85h791p-159264, Chassis Number XKU1-563911A With restoration beginning 20 years ago, other commitments took over and this restoration was left in the corner of the professional painter/vendor's workshop. Nearing retirement age he has realised that this is one project too many. All metal work has been completed with just preparation painting and build up to complete. Original front panel and four ten inch wheels are included within the sale. Front disc brake conversion has been carried out and an MG Metro sunroof has been fitted. A very straight forward project and how cool would it look in old English white with a black roof?

Unregistered and unrepeatable. Just 143 recorded miles from new. Sourced for the current owner in the 1980s by classic car stalwart, Mike Ayling, this unregistered MGB Roadster, Chassis No GVADJIAG/18012 had been purchased by its first owner as a potential investment and never registered, however the original V5/55 Application for first registration is still present together with the original handbook and Heritage Certificate.  Mike had been tasked by a good friend with finding a trio of cars to be correctly preserved until his three youngest grandchildren reached their respective 21st birthdays at which point they would receive a brand new MGB as a present. What a lovely idea. He was able to find two delivery mileage, MGB Roadsters (one black and one white) and they were immediately prepared for a long hibernation, however it took nearly six months to persuade the owner of this Snapdragon Yellow car to part with it.In Mike's words "I collected the car myself from Gloucestershire and trailered it back to Fernhurst where it was subjected to the same deep preservation as the black and white MGBs. The fuel tank was filled with paraffin, the engine overfilled with oil and the carburretors filled with a light preservation oil. The car was then totally Waxoyled three times and then transported to my friend’s garage where my technician, Jeffrey Bull, and I laid the base of the Carcoon, placed the car on axle stands inflated the Carcoon and left it for the next 35 years. I visited the garage frequently and checked on all three  cars, turned the wheels, serviced the Carcoon fans and put them all back to bed."The grandson who inherited the yellow MGB is a non-driver and lives in London so he has recently decided to sell the vehicle. It was removed from storage and fully recommissioned, remaining in true time-warp order with the delivery mileage of just 143 miles still showing on the speedometer! However, there was one concern. Again in Mike's words ''When I originally sold the car to Richard,  I provided my friend's personal assistant with the documentation, all of which was complete, together with two sets of keys and various documents including a brief on the history and details of what had been done to the car in terms of storage activity. Sadly, with the passage of time and my friend in his late ‘90s, some of the documents and keys were misplaced. I was then tasked with the problem of obtaining new keys, however, fortunately I remembered that MGBs were produced with a spare ignition key secured to the bulkhead, under the bonnet with a self-tapping screw. I went to look at the car, removed the Carcoon, which had provided more than 35 years exemplary service, lifted the bonnet and finally found the key. If you look now at the car, you will see the outline of the key on the bulkhead, evidenced by the shadow in the underseal! This is the key which comes with the car now. From the chassis number I was able to obtain keys for both the door and the boot."This remarkable MGB is now resplendent once again, wide awake and ready for the next part of its journey. Your earliest inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate this piece of MG history.SpecificationMake: MGModel: MGB 1.8 ROADSTERYear: 1980Chassis Number: GVADJ1AG/18012Registration Number: UNREGISTERED - GVADJ1AG/18012Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 18V-847-F-H/37215Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 143 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Silver Grey ClothClick here for more details and images

This superbly presented, Ford 1600 Crossflow-powered, 3rd-generation Turner Sports is one of only 70 examples from the final chapter of Jack Turner's amazing story.For those of us who have been involved in Club Motorsport for over half a century, the mention of racing Turners is nearly always followed immediately by someone mentioning ‘Tatty Turner’. ‘Tatty’ was a seriously quick Mark 1 Climax (678 ERC) that was raced in the early 1960s by Pat Fergusson and Warwick Banks with great success and became known for epic ‘David and Goliath’ battles around Mallory and Brands.As I recall, the epithet ‘Tatty’ was singularly well deserved at the time but the car did scrub up well in later years, however, the word could never be used to describe the immaculate Mk3 on offer here. “Tidy Turner” would be far more appropriate.This superb example is a Turner Ford 1600 Crossflow Mk3. right-hand drive, 2-seater Sports that was first registered on 1st June 1964. It features original GRP bodywork painted in white with a reconditioned inner tub in aluminium and Turner seats trimmed in Jaguar Mulberry leather. Manufactured by Turner Sports Cars at Pendeford Airport, Wolverhampton, it was treated to a no-expense-spared rebuild in 2010/2012 at 64,226 miles in Wolverhampton by Turner-guru, John Cullis, the third of five owners.It’s formally identified by a V5C registration document issued on 27 May 2021, recording its original Turner tubular-chassis number #64/615 and Ford 711-block engine number UP00325 (originally S367981). It’s fitted with a big-valve head, Cortina GT cam and inlet with a single-choke Weber carburettor, lightened and balanced crankshaft with ARP bolts, large-core radiator and fan, Pertronix electronic distributor, Facet fuel pump, alternator and a custom stainless steel exhaust.Further aspects of the car’s current spec include Cortina GT 4-forward speed gearbox with Lotus Cortina aluminium bell-housing, original Turner 5-link rear axle with 8ins brakes, Peter May halfshafts, twin bearing hubs, 3.5:1 differential, GT6 front suspension, adjustable-camber top wishbones, Wilwood front discs and calipers, gas coil-over shocks and 5.5 x 14 Minilite alloys all round, 5/8 ins MG Midget anti-roll bar, renewed fuel tank, wiring loom, electric instrumentation indicating 3,500 miles (since restoration), fused and relayed with master battery switch and a fitted tonneau cover.Historic Vehicle Road Tax exempt (last renewed 5th May 2022 for 12 months), scissor jack and spare Minilite in the boot along with hood and frame. Included, too, is the most comprehensive September 2016 compiled Turner cuttings file, recording marque history through 84 magazine features from July 1951 to September 2012, together with production and technical info, including sources of parts employed in the manufacture of all models and chassis. A complete run of Fairthorpe Sports Car Club newsletters are full of essential Turner Register intel within the ‘Turner Tattle’ section from the March 2016 to and including July 2022 issues.Several hundred Turners were built prior to the company’s demise in 1966 and there are a good few in regular daily use but we can’t ever recall seeing one that sits so well and just looks ‘right’. In immaculate condition with good provenance and lots of Turner-based history, this seems an excellent opportunity.SpecificationMake: TURNERModel: FORD MKIII 1600Year: 1964Chassis Number: 64-615Registration Number: BAX 500BTransmission: ManualEngine Number: UP00325Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Purchased by Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees in 1979 and owned by the family until 2012.When Rolls-Royce launched the two-door version of the Silver Shadow in 1966, the international jet set began to clamour for attention at the dealerships. These hugely desirable motorcars began to change hands at significant premiums over list price and one can imagine the hushed negotiations over the green baize of the gaming tables at Crockfords and Aspinalls. The Drop Head Coupé that followed in 1967 was even more exclusive, and waiting lists ran for years. Rolls-Royce could not have predicted the Swinging Sixties, or those who profited from this new era, and demand for the convertible came from all strata of monied society, the most vocal of which were heard on the radio. It was practically a law that celebrity Rolls-Royce owners had to be pictured alongside their car, and the convertible Rolls was the most coveted of all.If given the choice whilst on holiday in France, most would prefer to visit a discothèque rather than a bibliothèque, and the launch of “disco” in 1970 was a revolution. For the first time, strangers could dance on a multi-coloured dancefloor to up-beat music with a heavy dose of sexy electric guitar, both parties strutting their stuff without, quite frankly, Edwardian values of decorum. If there was one band that defined this new era of disco it was the Bee Gees, providing not one but three headline tracks to the quintessential disco film of the 1970s, Saturday Night Fever. One song, Night Fever, is often played as the anthem of the decade. As one third of the Bee Gees, Maurice Gibb was one of the most successful and highly paid of the era, enabling him to indulge his passion for Rolls-Royce motor cars.By the late-1970s, demand for the Corniche Convertible, as now named, was even more ferociously high than the previous decade, and second hand cars were highly sought after, impatiently in demand by the super rich. These sums are often mythologised and exaggerated but the accompanying carbon copy Bill of Sale from 1979 confirms these eye watering prices. When Maurice Gibb walked into the H.R. Owen showroom at Melton Court in South Kensington on the 17th April 1979 and saw this 1973 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible in Masons Black with a St. James red leather interior showing 30,214 miles, he parted with the incredible sum of £35,000. Bearing in mind that this was a six-year old car with 30,000 miles, he paid over three times the car’s list price when new, or double the price of a contemporary Ferrari 308 with change left over for a brand new Ford Capri!Maurice Gibb’s love affair with the Rolls-Royce started in the 1960s, famously photographed with the band looking through the window of Jack Barclay’s Mayfair showroom in 1968, various period snaps show Mr Gibb impeccably tailored in white alongside a Cloud Convertible or astride the bonnet of his Silver Shadow. Perhaps it was either his affection for this Corniche or the desire to get his money’s worth that saw the car remain as part of his collection until his sudden passing on the 12th January 2003, with the car remaining in the family until 2012. Those familiar with celebrity cars may note that most cars only enjoy a few years of ownership until traded in against newer models, and a thirty-three year family connection is very rare. So beloved was this Corniche, that Mr Gibb was photographed arriving in the Corniche at a press junket in 2001, gallantly aiding his wife Yvonne out of the rear seat, copies of which are on file.The car was nicknamed 'Rosie' and the private registration '3829 MG' issued to the car in period, and is generously included in the sale, as are the monogrammed over-mats. The Corniche’s current V5C show a number of previous registered keepers, which included Mr Gibb personally, his company and family members. An accompanying declaration on file, signed by Mr Gibb’s brother-in-law and personal assistant of thirty-years is dated 23rd July 2012 and confirms the car’s history. This declaration states regular servicing and MOT records show that the car’s mileage in July 2012 was 48,013 miles. Under new ownership, the Corniche benefited from some £24,000 of maintenance and servicing by Royce Motor Services of Gloucester between 2012 and 2019.Purchased on the 8th June 2021 by our vendor from a leading Rolls-Royce specialist, a purchase he readily agrees was on impulse, the car joined his fleet of modern motorcars, many of which are current model Rolls-Royces, and as an international businessman with limited time for classic motoring, his Lamborghini Miura would take precedence over the rest of his Collection. With recent expenditure of £10,000 the Corniche is presented to auction with an upgraded interior, dark red mohair power hood, a mileage of some 52,919 miles at the time of cataloguing and a history file that includes not only the aforementioned carbon copy Bill of Sale and signed declaration, but a note from a chap who confirms he use to wash the car for Mr Gibb on a Saturday morning!Considered the most attractive version of the Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible, the chrome bumpered cars produced between 1971 and 1977 only number a total of 1,232 in both right and left-hand drive, with very few in Masons Black. Questionable colour combinations of the era have often split opinion but few would argue that this Corniche’s combination is a perfect blend of Seventies retro, sleek black and funky red.In conclusion, classic cars should be fun, enjoyed by drivers and passengers alike, and we defy anyone not to arrive at a destination with the roof down and a Bee Gees hit blaring, whether the high notes are accurately hit or not.SpecificationMake: ROLLS-ROYCEModel: CORNICHE CONVERTIBLEYear: 1973Chassis Number: DRH14555Registration Number: 9829 MGTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 14555Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 52919 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Red LeatherClick here for more details and images

Car #61 retains its original Clubman spec shell with an International spec engine (Goodman Racing unit), a dog box, plus its original unpainted bumpers. A real survivor of the Group B rally era.In the mid-1980s, the 'Group B' race category of the World Rally Championship inspired the wildest, most powerful rally cars ever built. The MG Metro 6R4 was born out of this short-lived turbocharged era and Austin Rover's optimistic thirst for motorsport success after the TR7 V8 and TR8 rally cars had hung up their competitive boots. The entire project was the brainchild of Austin Rover Motor Sport Chief, John Davenport. Davenport decided to follow the lead of Audi's revolutionary permanent 4WD transmission, and once the green light was given, he collaborated with the best engineering brains in the land. Patrick Head and John Piper from Williams F1 were brought onboard as not only were Williams the best F1 team at the time but they were also sponsored by the company.In December 1982 the finished prototype was delivered to Cowley for in-house development to begin. However, it wasn't until 1984 that the 6R4 was introduced to the press in order to quell increasing speculation surrounding the project. Beneath its skin, the puny A-Series engine/front-wheel-drive package was replaced by a David Wood-designed 3-litre, 90-degree V6 situated behind the front seats and driving all four wheels. Twin-cam cylinder heads modelled on those of Cosworth's Formula 1 DFV V8 engine ensured the 6R4 was a true giant killer.The car appeared in two guises. There was a so-called Clubman model, a road going version developing approximately 250bhp, of which around 200 were made and sold to the public. A further 20 were taken and built to International Group B specifications. However, in 1986 Group B rallying was scrapped after a series of fatalities among drivers and spectators. Just as teething problems were being ironed out, the 6R4 was denied any chance of glory on an international stage.Happily, that was not the end of the story and, with the help of the various governing bodies, detuned versions (the capacity was limited to 2,500cc) of the 6R4 were allowed to continue rallying at a national level - something they do with great success to this day. They also achieved a stellar career in Rallycross.The 6R4 presented here (substantiated by a 6R4 expert and documented in a corresponding e-mail from 2002 to a previous owner - a copy of which is in the car’s history file) is one of the original batch of 200 cars assembled for Group B homologation between August and October 1985. It confirms that the car’s chassis number was SAXXRWNP7AD570052 and its 6R4 number was 061 (all as per they appear on the car’s chassis plate, number tag and V5C). The records state that the engine was fitted on the 14th September 1985 and the car was allocated to the Sales Department on 13th October 1985.Skip forward to 2018 and this car, 061, was bought by our rally-enthusiast vendor, and between him and his son (who also campaigns a WRC Fiesta), it has done numerous events (demos/hill climbs – which the previous owner also did with a sprint/hill climb MSA logbook) and is very well-known, being a highly regarded example in 6R4 circles.The history of this particular car is interesting, with information provided by our vendor, it has ownership continuity from new. In 1987, Ted Toleman (former principal and founder of the Toleman F1 team) acquired two 6R4s, cars 052 & 061 - 052 was selected to be modified. Having given up on F1 in 1986 when he sold his team to Benetton, Toleman decided to become involved in Endurance Rallying instead, with the aim of becoming the first British team to win the Paris-Dakar. After competing in the 1987 event with a Range Rover, the Toleman Group returned for 1988 with the modified Metro 6R4 to be driven by World Hot Rod Champion Barry Lee and Toleman himself. Known as the TG88 Metro Raider, the ugly brute was widened and lengthened by 8.5" to make it more stable and the highly-strung V64V engine was replaced with a JE Motors-tuned 3.9-litre Range Rover engine producing 230bhp. Unfortunately, it was disqualified at the end of the first day after exceeding the time limit (their support truck failed to reach them in time to start the next stage).To be able to use this TG88 Metro Raider (052) in the Paris-Dakar, he attached to it the registration ‘E577 CWC’, whether this was done officially or not, but it's often the done-thing in motor racing. The car presented here, 061, the sister-car of this Metro Raider (052) today officially wears the registration E577 CWC (as per its V5C) and the car’s original ID tag (denoting) 6R4 061 and BL chassis plate all correspond and, as mentioned, are supported by the e-mail from the 6R4 expert.Importantly, car 061 retains its original Clubman-spec shell and is fitted with an International Spec engine (Goodman Racing unit) and a dog box’. Like most race/rally machinery this car has had a life, with parts replaced, updated and adapted for use over the years, often being sourced from specialists, including John Price Rallying. It has always been owned by 6R4 enthusiasts, with one restoring it back to standard pristine condition and subsequently using it as demonstration events.The car is today in fine mechanical fettle and has, pleasingly, retained many original features over the years - real testament to the previous owners’ dedicated custodianship. It has been little used in the last few years. The underside particularly appears unmarked and is in fine condition. Indeed, when Top Gear wanted to do a feature on the 6R4, the production team approached a previous owner of car 061, who was more than happy to oblige and lent the car to the programme in which it was driven by Richard Hammond (photo attached on the Top Gear set).With Group B rally cars now hitting the £500,000 mark, British Leyland's answer to the factory cars from those elite manufacturers now looks incredible value.SpecificationMake: MGModel: METRO 6R4Year: 1985Chassis Number: SAXXRWNP7AD570052Registration Number: E577 CWCTransmission: Manual Engine Number: 0-CR-048 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

Bought directly by our vendor from the first owner in 1998, subject to a long-term restoration and just one of 562 right-hand drive examples.The 1955 launch of the 190 SL cemented Mercedes-Benz's reputation as the car manufacturer for those who wanted elegance, build quality and a good turn of speed. Unsurprisingly, most of the 26,000 units were sold to the North American market and, it's believed, just some 562 were made in right-hand drive. Although stunningly pretty, the 190 SL had stiff competition in the UK from domestic sports car manufacturers such as Jaguar, Austin-Healey and the significantly cheaper models from MG. Consequently, a UK-supplied 190 SL is perhaps the rarest of all sports cars from that era, especially compared to the huge amount of cars sold to countries who drive on the other side of the road.Some would say that a car’s history is as important as its condition, and whilst restorations can be paid for, it is the story that elevates a car from lovely to interesting. We now have the pleasure of telling this car’s story which began when it was first registered, appropriately enough on New Years Day 1961, to the first owner, a Mr Beach of Twickenham. Supplied in red with a black interior, the car was issued with the registration number 56 HYL and we are pleased to say that the car still bears that registration today, and will do for the next owner. The accompanying buff continuation logbook, stamped 25th May 1972, is signed by Mr Beach and notes the car’s colour, chassis and engine numbers.One day in 1998, our lady vendor was strolling past Mr Beach’s house and noticed the 190 SL in the open garage. Lengthy negotiations were started and the car was finally purchased from its first owner by our vendor. It appears that it had not run for many years and the subsequent restoration was a labour of love that took over twenty-years, which our vendor concedes was to a good, usable standard, rather than to Concours-winning condition. The colour was changed to silver, the interior retrimmed in red leather and topped by a black soft top hood with the original interior fittings retained where possible.Very rarely does a 61 old car come to market with just two owners from new, and few have the original owner’s details listed in a buff logbook. The odometer reading of 53,498 miles, at the time of cataloguing, is believed genuine, in keeping with the car’s decades away from the road. Sensibly guided, it's presented to auction with the current V5C showing just one former keeper, the aforementioned buff continuation logbook, a fresh MOT Certificate and the distinction of being a 190 SL with the lowest ownership history offered to market in some time. SpecificationMake: MERCEDES-BENZModel: 190 SLYear: 1961Chassis Number: 12104220019189Registration Number: 56 HYLTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 121-92120019245 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 53498 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Red LeatherClick here for more details and images

Described by the vendor as a pretty car that has been subject to an earlier restoration and has spent several years off the road. We have been advised that the chassis is solid, that the floor pans, boot, sills, bottom of the doors have no obvious rust issues. Items previously replaced include the fuel tank, sender unit, copper brakes pipes, oil cooler, carpet set and door trims. The chrome is described as good overall. During the vendor's ownership since 2021, he has renewed the steering column U/J, track ends, ignition, changed the oil and filter, spark plugs and points.

Driven 50 miles to the auction, the vendor advises that the gear changes, synchros, rear axle all appear good with no 'clonks' or 'bangs'. The car would benefit from some TLC and some work to improve. For example, the overdrive is not currently working, the fuel gauge is erratic and the drivers door lock is temperamental.

It seems to have been off the road since 2011 - which is when its last MoT before its current one expired - but has recently been recommissioned and now has an MoT through to March 2023. The recommissioning process involved a new set of tyres all round, replacement fuel tank and fuel pump. The car is fitted with Webasto sunroof, radio/cassette player and overdrive.

2002 MG TFMake: MG Model: TFYear: 2002Mileage: 85416VIN: SARRDWBKC3D608968Configuration: Right Hand DriveRegistration: BW02VFFTransmission: manualFinished in Black & Anthracite with Sebring cloth interior, the vendor tells us that this 2002 MG TF has had its head gasket, cambelt, water pump and tensioner replaced. The soft-top rear window has also been renewed, as have the rear brake calipers and pads, and exhaust downpipe. The rear tyres are Toyo Proxes. In February 2012, the MG was a Cat C insurance loss: Vehicle extensively damaged but repairable - insurer decided not to repair. The vendor tells us that this was due to front bumper damage, and a common problem with MGFs and TFs as insurance companies don't want to repair them even with minor damage as new bumpers are no longer available. The damage was put right on this car though; with a VOSA check passed on May 2013. The car was registered in August 2002 and has an MoT through to December 2022. The odometer reading is 85,417 miles. The history file includes the current V5C plus some past ones, along with assorted invoices from the last 10 years or so. There are MoT certificates from 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 2019 and 2020.
