Registration No: E914 NOW Chassis No: SAXXFWNM1BD641639 MOT: May 2025Displaying a credible c.46,000 milesOffered with a history file, original handbook and the current V5CImported into the UK in 2016Finished in Black, original side decals, Grey cloth seats and Red carpets plus seat beltsThe MG Metro was introduced in May 1982 some 18 months after the closure of the MG factory at Abingdon. MG’s first attempt at the then new ‘hot hatch’ era, it was the perception of many manufacturers that most car buyers were concerned open top two seat sports cars were something from the past. The MG Metro boasted some quite positive features for the day including the standard use of powerful servo assisted brakes using four pot (piston) calipers up front, very competitive performance and superb economy courtesy of the responsive and well proven A+ series engine. With around 120,000 made between 1982 and 1990, most are of the facelift variant launched in October 1984 where the bonnet line was lowered and streamlined, and a new interior and dash moulding was introduced.First registered in the UK on 1st November 2016, this Austin Rover MG Metro was for a Maltese customer and despatched to them from Muscats Motors Ltd Msida, Malta (original despatch note on file), being first registered in Malta on 27th May 1988. Leading a charmed life in the sun, the MG Metro resided in Malta (a right-hand drive market) until 2016, subsequently being exported from the Mediterranean island at the end of June 2016 and displaying some 40,500 miles (65,287km recorded on the Maltese documents). Back in the UK the MG Metro was registered in the mainland UK with its current registration number ‘E914 NOW’ before reaching its new owner, where it remained with them until spring 2023 before being subsequently sold to our vendor. Now with two former UK keepers recorded, the interior is in 'Good' condition, the seats have survived well with some of the trim showing the usual sagging often seen on 1980s cars. Subject to cylinder head work in c.2017, the MG has also benefitted from a new exhaust along with new suspension units. Offered with a collection of paperwork, invoices, MOTs, a copy of some Maltese export paperwork and the current V5C, this is an opportunity to purchase an MG Metro that spent many years in a forgiving car environment, that is still RHD and UK specification.

Registration No: CVG 967F Chassis No: CD/7319-L MOT: ExemptJust one registered UK keeper since being repatriated from AmericaConverted from LHD to RHD as part of an extensive, 'chassis up' refurbishmentOffered for sale at a fraction of what it would cost to professionally restoreOnly available from August 1967 until September 1968, it is estimated that just 1,300 or so of the 8,484 Triumph TR250s made remain in existence. Powered by Triumph's lusty 2.5-litre straight-six engine, albeit in a slightly detuned state to satisfy America's growing emission laws, the model shared much mechanically with the TR5 including all-round independent suspension, front disc brakes and rack and pinion steering. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis CD/7319-L was completed to left-hand drive, North American Export specification on August 6th 1968. Despatched to Walter Hagan & Company GmbH of Krefeld, Germany the following month (presumably for delivery to a US serviceman stationed in that locale), the Triumph was repatriated from North Carolina during December 2020. Various photographs on file show that the TR250 was stripped to a bare chassis thereafter prior to being extensively restored by its only UK registered keeper. A retired engineer with experience of bodywork repairs, he converted the sportscar to right-hand drive as well as repainting it Old English White, re-trimming the front seats / door cards and replacing the dashtop, hood and carpets. The engine was treated to a new timing chain, bearings, gaskets, piston rings, fuel / water pumps and front / rear crankshaft oil seals, while the rear axle was uprated with a higher final drive ratio. The brakes, suspension and fuel system were all gone through and a new stainless steel exhaust fitted. The ignition system was upgraded and the number stamped into the 2.5-litre straight-six engine pleasingly matches that quoted on the Heritage Certificate. Entrusted to renowned marque specialist TR Bitz for a check over last August, ‘CVG 967F’ had attention paid to its rear hub units and springs. Yet to be fully run-in after its rejuvenation, this smart TR250 comes with a plethora of parts invoices which must total a decent chunk of the guide price! Seemingly as clean underneath as it is on top, this handsome Triumph comes with a V5C Registration Document, history file and TR5 pedal box (the one currently installed is better suited to someone with small feet). PLEASE NOTE: This lot was formerly fitted with overdrive which has since been removed. The seller was under the impression that the rear axle ratio had been raised to compensate but has not had this independently verified and does not know the current final drive ratio.For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737

The SL65 AMG emerged as a stylish roadster powered by a V12 leviathan capable of crushing competition at a push of the acceleration pedal. The twin-turbo, 6.0 litre engine delivers a massive power output of 604hp which is tamed through an intricate network of electronics and safety features. Torque output is high enough to keep the driver pinned to the bucket seat upholstered with perforated leather at a max 1,000Nm, detuned from 1,200Nm, while the five-speed automatic transmission with manual capability provides great control over raw power. Style is guaranteed by the sleek body design and new 19" dual spoke AMG-signature alloys which camouflage the eight-piston caliper performance brakes. It is a beautifully packaged and ridiculous collection of power, sumptuous comfort and noise. According to the UK Sales figures, just 35-40 CL 65s were officially sold in Great Britain between 2004 and 2005 and in fact only 777 were produced worldwide, with pre-existing customers invited to purchase. It houses the same engine as the Maybach 57, 62 'S' models and the Pagani Huayra supercar.This superb example of this rare model is presented in silver with black leather interior. It comes with a very concise service history with many stamps in the service book, two sets of keys and has had only three owners from new. This SL65 AMG version offers 604bhp from its twin-turbocharged 6.0 litre (5,980 cc) V12 at 5,500 rpm which is superb performance even by today’s standards, let alone a Mercedes that was manufactured 20 years ago! These models are a true collectors dream and makes for an exhilarating drive, made even better by its exhaust note.

Recently completed and fresh to market after a seven year labour of love by its Lancia aficionado owner. The legendary Lancia Stratos HF is the ultimate rally icon of the 'Group 4' era and changed the face of International Rallying as the first purpose-built rally car in an age of modified production cars. Rather than build the 1,000 units needed to qualify for 'Group 3' and only afterwards apply the allowable 'Group 4' modifications, Lancia committed to building the 500 examples required for 'Group 4' homologation as a thinly disguised rally car for the road.Designed by Marcello Gandini, the Stratos HF ('HF' for High Fidelity) was developed as a collaboration between Lancia and Bertone and was introduced in November 1971 at the Turin Motor Show. It was based around a central steel monocoque with steel front frame legs and box-section rear subframe, carrying lightweight glass fibre doors and hinged ‘clamshells’ at the front and rear. The car was powered by a mid-mounted transverse 2.4-litre Ferrari Dino V6 that Enzo Ferrari only reluctantly agreed to supply, fearing the new car would overshadow his own Dino 246.Stratos bodyshells were built by Bertone at its Grugliasco Works, and then shipped to Lancia for final assembly at Via San Paolo. Homologation for 'Group 4' required that 500 examples be built within a 24 month period but, in real terms, this did not require 500 finished cars, but rather enough chassis and components to complete that number. Production began on 1st July 1972 and only 183 examples were completed by the end of 1974, however the FIA determined that enough components and completed body shells existed to confirm 'Group 4' homologation on 1st October 1974. Body production and final assembly would continue through 1975 and although there is some uncertainty, the best estimate is that Lancia eventually completed 492 examples.The Stratos HF made its competition debut in November 1972 on the Tour de Corse running as a prototype and saw its first successes the following year, with wins on the Tour de France and the Firestone Rally, and a second place at the Targa Florio. With its diminutive size, extraordinary agility and powerful V6, the Stratos quickly established itself as a dominant force in rallying, winning the WRC three years in a row (1974–1976) and firmly established itself as a legend by continuing to win in private hands as late as 1981.This 1975 Lancia Stratos, Chassis #AR0001951, built to 'Group 4' specification, is offered fresh to market after a protracted build period with recent completion after what has been a seven year 'labour of love' by the present Lancia aficionado owner. Built around a reconstructed shell, manufactured by Marchesi Modena in 2017/ 2018 utilising genuine and period specific components being of the correct type and age where possible. The standard of finish is exceptional with a level of detail that is rarely achieved. The Marchesi produced shell has also been modified to 'Group 4' specification with an integral T45 roll cage and lowered floors to accommodate the taller pilot, even the front, rear and door clams have been sourced and supplied having being produced using the original Italian tooling. With extensive research being carried out over the years, it is clear to see the lengths to which our vendor went in order to present one of the finest Lancia Stratos to come to market in recent years.Motivation is provided by the fully rebuilt Ferrari 246 V6 power unit constructed around a cast-iron block, with Aluminium 'Group 4' heads sitting atop fully balanced internals and breathing through triple 44 IDF downdraft Weber carburettors. The engine is centrally and transversely mounted, providing drive through the 'Group 4' Lancia 5-speed 'dog box' with a dog-leg first gear through to the Schaublin fully rose-jointed rear end with independent McPherson Struts and 'Group 4' alloy hub carriers, all riding on period correct Magnesium Campagnolo- style wheels shod with the correct Pirelli P7 'Corsa' tyres. Retardation is accomplished through AP vented discs with 4-piston Monoblock aluminium calipers.We appreciate that anyone genuinely interested in this car will have lots of technical questions and we have pages and pages of component specification and build details available upon request. Every part of this build has been considered - the right people asked the right questions and the exact components sourced from wherever they could be found - which is why it took seven years. Our vendor was fastidious, possibly even a little obsessive, when it came to this project and that’s why we are keen that interested parties explore it a bit further to appreciate just how much thought and passion has been invested in this beautiful Stratos.Bringing #AR0001951 back to life has been a metamorphosis and we feel that it would be wonderful to see the car on a European rally stage or on the showground or anywhere really, enjoying the admiration always generated when people get a close look at one of these seldom seen WRC-winning rally cars from 50 years ago.Specification Make: LANCIA Model: STRATOS Year: 1975 Chassis Number: 829AR0001951 Registration Number: PAO 789P Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 0008764 Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Make: LHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
John Cooper Works GP2 in Thunder Grey Metallic. A serious Mini at a sensible guide. When the Mini John Cooper Works GP was officially announced back in late 2012, even hardened Mini enthusiasts had to take a second look at the numbers. 1,598cc, turbocharged, 215bhp @ 6,000rpm, 206ft/lb of torque, 0-60mph in 6.1 seconds and 150mph!Even a standard Cooper S is a fast and feisty little car, but the GP2 promised something all together more serious. Apart from the inevitable graphics and the aero kit (which reduced drag by 6%), it benefitted from a radical programme of upgrades including new adjustable ride-height coil-over suspension (with inverted dampers at the front) providing increased camber and reduced front toe-in for greater agility, an all-new braking system featuring six-piston calipers and 330mm front discs, GP-specific and super-sticky track day tyres and reconfigured stability control functions including a more aggressive Electronic Differential Lock Control. There were no rear seats, but who cares?The new Works GP had all the makings of a new 'hero' and so it was to prove. Costing £28,790, just 2,000 were made with production ceasing in 2014.This smart example was supplied new by Vines of Guilford in Thunder Grey Metallic with red detailing and optioned with the JCW aerodynamic kit and air-conditioning. From two years current ownership, it's been enjoyed by five previous keepers and has covered an indicated 34,566 miles. It was last serviced at 31,833 miles on 21st March 2024 at Sytner Mini Slough and the current MOT ('No Advisories') is valid until March 2025.Specification Make: MINI Model: JOHN COOPER WORKS GP Year: 2013 Chassis Number: WMWSU92010T741350 Registration Number: HX13 SXC Transmission: Manual Engine Number: A290J438 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 34566 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images
