1991 JAGUAR XJS 5.3 LITRE CONVERTIBLE XJS REG NO. & REPUTEDLY 56,000 MILES Estimate £5000 - 6000 Registration Number J777XJS Chassis Number 170545 Engine Number 85075394SB Engine Capacity 5343 Paint Colour WHITE Trim Colour MAGNOLIA MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. Launched in 1975, Jaguar's XJS was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. More of a soporific grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, it was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads. To this end, it was equipped with automatic transmission as standard. Though, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post 1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all round independent coil-sprung suspension and power assisted rack and pinion steering as its fixed head coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.Finished in gleaming white with blue-edged magnolia leather upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in "good" (interior trim, electrical equipment, wheels / tyres) or "very good" (engine, automatic transmission, chassis, bodywork, paintwork) condition. Reportedly benefiting from full service history up until 52,500 miles, the Jaguar is believed but not warranted to have covered a mere 56,159 miles from new. Further understood to have had just two registered keepers, the appropriately registered 'J777 XJS' sports "a dark blue mohair hood, matching mohair hood cover and winter 'hood up' cover". Riding on correct-type lattice alloy wheels, it is hoped that this "excellent luxury summer tourer" will possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. While other items set to accompany the car include the aforementioned service history, a current road tax disc (valid until August 31st 2007) and Jaguar tool box / kit.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle comes with an MOT certificate until February 2008.

1965 FORD MUSTANG 'SHELBY GT350' RACECAR LHD - FIA PAPERS & ELIGIBLE MOST EVENTS Estimate £28000 - 32000 Registration Number N/A Chassis Number SR09C203876 Engine Number T.B.A. Engine Capacity 4227 Paint Colour BLACK Trim Colour BLACK MOT Expiry Date N/A Introduced at the New York World's Fair on April 17th 1964, the Ford Mustang was primarily aimed at the post-WW2 'baby boomer' generation. Backed by an enormous publicity campaign that included television coverage beamed to over 30 million homes and some 2,500 newspaper advertisements, it proved an instant hit (the millionth car selling inside two years). The brainchild of senior Ford executive Lee Iacocca, the newcomer borrowed heavily from its Falcon and Fairlane compatriots. Based on a 'torque box' reinforced monocoque bodyshell, it was styled in-house by David Ash and Joseph Oros of the Lincoln-Mercury division. Initially available in either coupe or convertible guises (though, a fastback variant was soon added), the model was equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and hydraulic drum brakes. Powered by a range of straight-six and V8 engines mated to a choice of manual (three- / four-speed) or automatic transmission, the Mustang could be had with a bewildering range of factory options to suit almost every taste / budget. The first car to receive the Tiffany Design Award, it also undertook pace duties at the 1964 Indianapolis 500. Responsible for creating the 'pony car' class (despite being named after the WW2 P-51 Mustang fighter plane), the sporty Ford has long been revered as an American cultural icon. As always the best of the road cars are soon converted into cars for the track and the Mustang went racing with the best of them - and beat them all. Carroll Shelby's long standing relationship with Ford ensured that he further developed the car with the introduction of the 'Shelby' Mustang which had distinctive differences to the body styling, it was lighter and had more power. One of the most significant marketing moves that actually worked was for Hertz - the rental car people. They ordered 200 Ford Mustangs in their distinctive Black with a Gold stripe livery in November 1965 and a further 800 cars just a month later as they had become the car to have for the weekend - and a lot of them were actually raced the whole weekend and taken back to the rental company on the monday morning. This car is not an original Shelby GT350 and never raced in period however it has been built as a racecar to a very exacting standard by the well known historic racer Jo Harding. It is a recreation of the Hertz cars and painted in their very distinctive colour scheme and sits on a new set of Dunlops with a new extinguisher and with a new set of belts. It raced many times in the States and the specification sheet including the dyno report is in the paperwork in the history file with the car. It is sensational to look at and we understand ready to go and has quite a number of spares with it including the original seats, a spare set of heads, steering wheel etc. It is eligible for a whole host of events and the paperwork includes an extremely rare set of the new HTP papers but it has not as yet been registered in the UK.

1959 TRIUMPH TIGER T100Estimate £3500 - 4500 Registration Number VSP 836 Frame Number T100023197 Engine Number 023197 Engine Capacity 500 Paint Colour BLACK/SILVER MOT Expiry Date RFL Expiry Date Originally introduced for the 1939 season, the Tiger 100, developed from the Speed Twin and offered as a sporting alternative to that model, quickly earnt a reputation for performance and reliability. Over the ensuing twenty years the model benefited from a continual process of development reflecting improvements in motorcycle design and technology. The rigid frame was joined in the post war period by one equipped with a sprung hub, before both were replaced with a pivoted fork design in 1954. The head and barrel changed to aluminium castings in 1950 and in 1957 gained a twin port head. The pre unit Tiger 100 was eventually replace by a new unit construction machine for the 1960 model season bearing the same name. This black and silver example is described by the vendor as being in very good condition throughout having been restored. Dating form the last year of pre unit construction it is arguably the most attractive version of the model.

1962 LOTUS 25 RACING SINGLE SEATER EX JIM CLARK & TREVOR TAYLOR Estimate £300000 - 400000 Registration Number N/A Chassis Number 25R5 Engine Number T.B.A. Engine Capacity 1497 Paint Colour GREEN Trim Colour N/A MOT Expiry Date N/A The following information was dictated by Cedric Selzer and Michael Strauss on the 9th. February 2007. This was for the express purpose of its inclusion of the H&H Classic Auctions Ltd. collector car Cheltenham catalogue.The Introduction It is no overstatement to say that the Lotus 25 revolutionised Formula 1 car design. It was a complete break from conventional thinking, advanced even for Colin Chapman, and it must surely be one of the best kept secrets in motor racing.Colin Chapman reckoned that the inspiration came from the steel backbone frame of the new Lotus Elan and the improved stiffness it gave. Would it work on a single seater? It all really came about from a meeting with Mike Costin from which he went home with a napkin and some sketches.Although, the Lotus 25 was not the first monocoque single-seater racing car, it was the first one to prove the efficacy of monocoque design in Grand Prix racing. Based around two D-section tubes placed back to back and held in place by fabricated front / rear bulkheads, the chassis drew further strength from the instrument panel and seat back. Though, having the engine and gearbox assembly bolted directly to it helped boost rigidity as well.This design was the brainchild of Colin Chapman and the car was arguably the grandfather of all current day Grand prix cars.The Car in Period Built towards the end of the 1962 season, Lotus 25 chassis number R5 was originally designated to be Jim Clark’s backup car for the South African Grand Prix in East London. However, with a World Championship riding on the weekend’s outcome the decision was taken to promote 25 R5 from spare to race status on account of the fact that it used a carburettor-fed Coventry Climax V8 whereas 25 R4 (Clark’s existing race mount) was fitted with a new fuel-injected unit. Shrugging aside any horsepower deficit, Jim Clark duly put 25 R5 on pole and was leading the race by a comfortable margin when a smoking engine forced him into retirement. At the time, the fault was attributed to an oil gallery plug falling out. However, in hindsight I think the problem was oil scavenge pump failure.Jim Clark drove the following races aboard 25 R5 in 1963: Pau GP 1st place Pole position Fastest lap. Imola GP 1st place Pole position Fastest lap Aintree - Pole position but Clark suffered problems during the race. He was called in and changed cars with Trevor Taylor who subsequently finished 7th. BRDC International Trophy at Silverstone - 1stThereafter 25 R5 became Trevor Taylor’s mount. He finished 6th at Monaco but at Spa two weeks later, during practice, the car suffered suspension failure due to a bolt falling out of the rear wishbone mounting and it ended up in the marshal’s post at Stavelot.What was left of the car was brought back to the works and stripped but it was decided not to rebuild the car as a new monocoque was nearing completion and time was always a priority. The monocoque, which had been split in half, was placed at the back of the workshop awaiting the scrap man. Colin Chapman gave me permission to remove the damaged monocoque and other redundant parts - see the letter in the history file from Dick Scammell - which was not unusual as a number of Team Lotus mechanics owned Lotus 7s and other home made specials and a large number of parts from the F1 cars, ended up on these cars, once the parts had reached their "sell by date". The damaged monocoque and sundry parts from R5 were removed and stored in a mews garage in Belsize Park, NW London.Cedric Selzer and Michael Strauss During 1961 Michael Strauss (an old school friend of mine from South Africa) and I bought a Lotus 7 in kit form and assembled it.

1966 JAGUAR S-TYPE 3.4 LITRE LAID-UP FOR 24 YRS, RESTORED IN 2000 Estimate £5500 - 6500 Registration Number GKG988D Chassis Number PIB5182BW Engine Number 7B6032/8 Engine Capacity 3442 Paint Colour GREEN Trim Colour BEIGE MOT Expiry Date MAY 2007 Launched in 1963, the Jaguar S-Type was marketed as more of an 'executive' car than its MKII sibling. Boasting notably superior ride and handling characteristics thanks to the adoption of independent rear suspension (cribbed from the MKX / E-type), it also enjoyed a more spacious interior complete with dashboard-mounted walnut centre console. Visually distinguished by its elongated boot, flatter roofline and hooded headlamps, the model was powered by a choice of 3.4 litre (210bhp) or 3.8 litre (220bhp) DOHC straight-six engines allied to either four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. Maintaining the Coventry manufacturer's reputation for speed, luxury and mechanical refinement, the S-Type remained in production until 1968 by which time approximately 25,000 had been sold (10,000 3.4s vs 15,000 3.8s).Finished in dark green with beige leather upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in "good" (chassis, bodywork, paintwork, wheels / tyres), "good / original" (interior trim), "very good" (electrical equipment) or "overhauled" (3442cc engine, automatic transmission) condition. First registered to Messrs Maskrey - a Cardiff based furnishing company - on April 6th 1966, 'GKG 988D' changed hands several times before being laid-up during 1974 (by which time it is believed but not warranted to have covered some 40,000 miles). Although entering the current ownership many years ago, it was not until 2000 that the Jaguar took to the road again and only then after an extensive restoration. Benefiting from a period Radiomobile set, stainless steel exhaust, battery cut-out switch and electronic ignition, the saloon rides on steel wheels shod with fresh tyres. Showing an unwarranted 41,795 miles on its odometer, this nicely presented S-Type is offered for sale with history file (green logbook, 1973 MOT certificate, post-restoration valuation report etc), MOT certificate valid until May 3rd 2007 and historic class (free) road tax valid until April 30th 2007.

1935 HUMBER 12 VOGUE DROPHEAD COUPE ONLY KNOWN EXAMPLE IN HUMBER CAR CLUB Estimate £14000 - 16000 Registration Number BKT 961 Chassis Number 12/20661 Engine Number 12/20668 Engine Capacity 1669 Paint Colour MAROON Trim Colour BEIGE MOT Expiry Date AUG 2007 "Born to become a style leader . . . this chic car marks the perfect union between artist and engineer" (Humber 12hp Vogue brochure).Introduced in 1932, the Humber 12hp was a neat, well resolved design. Based around a rigid ladder-frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes, it was powered by a 1669cc four-cylinder sidevalve engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Solidly built, the compact Humber was reputedly capable of 68mph and 25mpg. As well as a variety of more humdrum open and closed derivatives, the 12hp chassis also played host to the 'Vogue' two-door coachwork range conceived in conjunction with Molyneux of London and Paris. Arguably the ultimate 'Vogue' 12hp offering, the Three-Position Drophead Coupe boasted a number of unique features.Reportedly the only one of its kind known to the Post Vintage Humber Car Club, 'BKT 961' has been in the current ownership since 1970. Finished in maroon with beige leather upholstery, it is described by the vendor as being in "very good" condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres (though, he notes that the clock is not working). The subject of an extensive restoration that was finished in 1993, the drophead is said to be "98% original" and to have "won many cups for Best in Show". Apparently "retaining all its original tools and built-in jacks" (though, the latter are not currently fitted), this former Alexandra Palace concours entrant is offered for sale with correct type 'Vogue' Flying Lady mascot, MOT certificate valid until August 22nd 2007 and historic class (free) road tax.
