1998 Bentley Continental T Transmission: automaticMileage:45100The Bentley Continental R was launched at the Geneva motor show in 1991 and the styling of the handsome new coupé harked back to elegant lines of the S -Series Continental coupés produced by Bentley Motors throughout the 50s and 60s. The turbocharged 6.75 litre, V8 engine was utilised and internally the car was similar to the Turbo R saloon. Introduced in 1989, the Bentley Continental T brought sportier handling and higher power to the Continental range. It has a four inch shorter wheelbase than a Continental R, has flared wheel arches accommodating the 18 five spoke alloy wheels and a more powerful 420bhp, V8 power unit. To be expected, performance was very impressive with the big Bentley reaching 60mph in under six seconds and a top speed of almost 170mph.This superb example of this rare and desirable model is presented in gleaming Red Pearl with Parchment leather interior. Its walnut wood door cappings and dashboard are in superb condition as are the carpets and headlining. It comes with air conditioning, electric front seats and a very good service history with servicing having been carried out at regular intervals from 1999 onwards. This is probably the finest example of this model we have had the pleasure to put to auction and this is certainly one of the best on the market presently.Registration has been added S557 VPV

2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale Transmission: automaticMileage:3792In Ferrari's first official announcement the 458 was described as the successor to the F430 but arising from an entirely new design, incorporating technologies developed from the company's experience in Formula 1. The 458 is powered by a 4.5 litre V8 engine of the 'Ferrari/Maserati' F136 engine family, producing 562 bhp and 398 lb ft torque at 6,000 rpm with 80% torque available at 3,250 rpm. The engine also featured direct fuel injection, which is a first for Ferrari mid-engine set-ups in its road cars. The car's suspension features double wishbones at the front and a multi-link set-up at the rear, coupled with E-Diff and F1-Trac traction control systems, designed to improve the car's cornering and longitudinal acceleration by 32% when compared with its predecessors. The brakes include a prefill function whereby the pistons in the calipers move the pads into contact with the discs on lift off to minimize delay in the brakes being applied. Ferrari's official 0-62 mph acceleration is an impressive 2.9 seconds, and the top speed is 210 mph.Originally supplied by H. R. Owen in Kensington and registered on 17th April 2015, this fabulous low mileage Ferrari is accompanied by a comprehensive service history and is in totally unmarked condition. The most recent service was carried out by H. R. Owen on 11th October 2021 at 3,744 miles. Turn the ignition on, press the start button and hear the roar of power from the V8 engine. Engage first gear and be respectful of how much power is available under your right foot. A 458 Speciale offering up 562bhp combined with Formula One technology means this is a real driver's experience from the Modena based manufacturer. Options added when the car was ordered new include the all-important hydraulic front lift kit, carbon kit to the interior, red brake calipers, front and rear parking sensors including camera, titanium exhaust pipes, carbon fibre engine covers and NART racing stripe. This fabulous supercar is finished in Rosso Corsa with a black and red Alcantara interior. A Ferrari 458 Speciale is aesthetically a fantastic looking car from every angle; this magnificent, unmarked example offers a driving experience that can only be described as luxury, style and speed all wrapped up in one visceral experience.
1997 Bentley Turbo R Transmission: automaticMileage:59720The Bentley Turbo R initially inherited the turbocharged engine from the Mulsanne Turbo and also sported a retuned suspension and wider tyres on alloy wheels, quite a departure for a Bentley. From the 1987 model year, however, the Turbo R's V8 engine was re-tuned with new Bosch MK-Motronic fuel injection for added torque. Other modifications carried out at the same time included new sports seats and a higher rear axle ratio. Motor Trend called the Turbo R 'the first Bentley in decades deserving of the famous name'. The suspension changes, though seemingly subtle, transformed the heavy car into a real performer and slotted above the Bentley Mulsanne S and Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit and it carved a well-deserved niche in the world of performance saloons.This Turbo R was first registered on 9th May 1997 and has covered a mere 59,720 miles from new. Having had just three owners from new the Bentley is offered in the desirable metallic green coachwork over a cream leather interior and is presented in good order throughout, although there are some age related blemishes which you would expect for a car of this age. The paintwork is generally good and the interior presents nicely. The most recent vendor acquired the vehicle in 2009 forming part of his collection and it has more recently been dry stored. Offered with a history file including old MoT records and the UK registration document.
1954 Bentley R-Type Transmission: automaticMileage:84048The R-Type is the second series of post-war Bentley motorcars and replaced the Mk. VI. Essentially a larger boot version of the Mk. V. The R-type was a development of the Mk. VI Bentley with several mechanical improvements such as higher rear axle ratios, the chassis and engine being carried forward into the later S class which remained in production until the Silver Shadow of 1966. As with its predecessor, a standard body was available as well as coachbuilt versions by firms including H.J. Mulliner, Park Ward, Harold Radford, Freestone and Webb and others. Even by this date, there was little difference (other than the radiator grilles and the carburation) between the standard Bentley R-Type and the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn, though Bentley was still the more popular sporting marque. Indeed, the vast majority of cars produced were Bentleys with some 2,500 units manufactured during the R-Type's run. During development, it was referred to as the Bentley Mk. VII; even the chassis cards for these cars describe them as Bentley 7's. The R-Type name, which is now usually applied, stems from chassis series RT. The front of the saloon model was identical to the Mk. VI but the boot was almost doubled in capacity and the engine increased in displacement from 4¼ to 4½ litres. First issued with the Manchester registration number 'OVU 200' on April 22nd 1954, chassis B73WG had been in single family custodianship for 67 years until the vendor purchased the car last year. Reportedly a clothing fastener producer, the first owner must have enjoyed considerable success to be able to buy himself a new Bentley R-Type in 1954. Highly original with a particularly delightful interior, the rich red leather and polished wood veneers exude a wonderful patina. The gloss black paintwork has a deep shine with some imperfections that are to be expected on such an original car that is sixty-eight years old. Recently recommissioned following almost a decade of dry storage, the R-Type starts readily and the vendor reports the car to run and drive very well.Supplied with V5C registration document, sundry paperwork, original driver's handbook and MoT test certificate valid until November 2022. A rare opportunity to acquire a low ownership and highly original Bentley with a wonderful patina.
1961 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster (Outside bonnet lock) Transmission: manualMileage:34474When introduced at the 1961 Geneva Motor show, the new Jaguar E-Type caused a sensation with its sleek and timeless design backed by its staggering performance. Its design owed much to the racing D-Type, in fact, the E-Type would be one of the last great sports cars developed directly from a successful competition predecessor. Just as with the D-Type, a monocoque tub formed the main body/chassis while the engine and gearbox were supported by a tubular spaceframe. The engine was the same 3.8 litre, triple carburetted 'S' unit first offered as an option on the preceding XK150 model. With a claimed 265bhp giving a top speed of 153mph the E-Type was in the same league as the Italian V12 engined cars of the time. Features on the E-Type included disc brakes all round, rack and pinon steering, coil springs and double wishbone, and independent front suspension. The rear suspension broke new ground for a large capacity sportscar being independent at a time when most of its rivals relied on the traditional live rear axle. Often called the most beautiful production car of all time, the E-Type remains an automotive icon of design, engineering and speed.This delightful left hand drive Jaguar E-Type Roadster, fitted with the correct 'external bonnet locks' was supplied by Jaguar Cars, New York on 28th June to R. Donan, Excelsior, Minnesota. It is thought the car went to California shortly after registration, where it has spent most of its time, confirmed by its rust-free and original condition. Chassis number '875119' was supplied with engine number R1156-9, which was replaced with a 3.8 litre engine number R2131-9. This was also manufactured in 1961. The original engine block is supplied with the car and we are advised it could be restored and refitted to the car, should the new owner choose to do so. At the time of the engine change the original Moss gearbox was removed and replaced with a much more user-friendly synchromesh gearbox from a later 4.2 litre example. The car was purchased by the current owner in California and repatriated to the UK in February 2014, however prior to the car leaving the US she received a light restoration, retaining its original colour combination of Opalescent Gunmetal Grey with light blue interior. During the restoration it was found that the body still had most of its original features including three-piece, handmade doors, welded in bonnet louvres, additional drain holes in the boot channel and petrol filler aperture. Other notable original features are the Butler rear number plate lights, Dunlop brakes and the factory supplied cooling fan. The only other significant upgrade, other than the all-synchromesh gearbox is an aluminium radiator. This lovely E-Type is supplied with a V5C registration document, a copy of the Californian title, the Heritage certificate, a file containing photographs and various invoices and the original 'First Edition' handbook. Being the 119th left hand drive E-Type manufactured this is a very rare opportunity to purchase a good example of the 'Holy Grail' of E-Types and is one of the most desirable British icons available today.
1978 Chevrolet C/K Cheyenne Pick-up Transmission: manualMileage:61285Balancing the line between rugged and refined the third generation C/K Cheyenne is arguably one of the best-looking trucks to date. These trucks, known as the 'Rounded Line,' were the most car-like pick-ups to hit the road, reflecting the insatiable appetite for pick-ups among the American general public. Sure to please all, the trucks were available in a multitude of configurations including half, three-quarter, and one-ton capacities and with short or long Pick-up boxes all offered in numerous trim levels. Alongside the introduction of the four-door crew cab, the third generation C/K marked the introduction of a dual rear-wheel Pick-up truck (The Big Dooley). For 1978, the C/K became the first American full-size Pick-up truck sold with a diesel engine, a 5.7 litre Oldsmobile V8. This generation also marks the first use of the Chevrolet Silverado nameplate. The Rounded Line generation is the longest-produced version of the C/K model line, produced for 18 years. For 1987, it was renamed the R/V series and was gradually phased out through the 1991 model year.This third generation Chevrolet C/K Cheyenne pickup was imported to the UK in 2017 and purchased last year by a specialist company who supplies vehicles to the television and film industry. They bought it to be used in the new Netflix film 'Havoc' starring Tom Hardy, Forest Whitaker and Timothy Olyphant, which will be released later this year. Finished in orange with cream sides and beige cloth interior this C/K Cheyenne is supplied with a V5C registration document. These pick-ups are regarded as practical, classic Americana and are popular with classic car owners, customisers and monster truck builders.
1955 Bentley S1 by HJ Mulliner Transmission: manualMileage:83560Successor to the R-Type, the Bentley S1 was introduced in 1955 with a whole new chassis; the car's wheelbase had been extended 3 to 123, and the luggage compartment was expanded. The S1 had softer suspension than the R-Type, with electrically controlled rear shock absorbers. Brakes had been improved and the steering was lighter, even more so after 1957 with optional power assisted steering. This model marked the final integration of Bentley with Rolls-Royce - the standard saloons were now entirely alike, but for grilles and badging. The engine was Rolls' 4887cc F-head six, in its final configuration before the introduction of V8 power in 1959. Manual gearboxes were supplied only to special order. With the introduction of the aluminium 6230cc V8 engine in 1959, the S1 Bentley became the S2, and the corresponding Rolls-Royce was renamed Silver Cloud II. The British magazine 'The Motor' reported a top speed of 103 mph and 0-60 acceleration of 13.1 seconds from a short-wheelbase S1 in 1957.One of just 27 Bentley S1's bodied by H.J. Mulliner & Co and one of just 25 right hand drive examples with the drophead coupé chassis, found detailed in the supplied specification sheets in the history file, this example is presented in maroon with cream leather trim and supplied new by HR Owen Ltd to Mr Jacobson of Jackson the Tailors in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Ordered in November 1955 and delivered to Mr Jacobson Esq. in July 1956 he owned the car until June of 1967 when he sold it to Mr Mealey of Chorley, Lancashire. Now presenting very well with new headlining and a recent full detail the car is a rare and handsome four-door saloon, representing a significant part of Bentleys coachbuilt history. Documents in the history file include original sales orders from the Rolls-Royce and Bentley Owners Club but also maintenance records as far back as 1990 on file, previously owned by prominent Rolls-Royce and Bentley historians and authors this is a very desirable motorcar indeed.
1951 Bentley Mk. VI Standard Steel Saloon Transmission: manualMileage:89000The Mk. VI four-door standard steel sports saloon was the first post-war luxury car from Bentley. Announced in May 1946 and produced from 1946 to 1952, it was also the first car from Rolls-Royce with all-steel coachwork and the first complete car assembled and finished at their factory. These very expensive cars were a genuine success. These models had a shorter wheelbase chassis and the engine was a variant of the Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith of 1946 and, with the same standard steel body, became the cautiously introduced Silver Dawn of 1949. In 1952, both Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn and Bentley Mk. VI standard steel bodies were modified to incorporate a boot of about twice the size and the result became known as the R-Type Bentley. Mk. VI engines and chassis were modified to provide higher performance and sold to be bodied by selected coachbuilders as the first Bentley Continentals.This nice example was purchased in 2013 by the present owner from an ex-Army Captain who was stationed in Austin, Texas USA. The gentleman had used this car as his everyday runabout to and from his place of work! He had even taken the car on a great trip from Texas to New York, apparently not breaking down once! The car had been in the USA (Texas) for just over 30 years before returning to the UK, hence the lack of rust. The car has been well maintained since with £10,000 being spent over the last five years by the present owner including the fitting of a new fuel tank. It is presented in dark green/beige with dark maroon leather interior. It is fitted with a sunroof and the door cappings and all woodwork are in good condition throughout, as is the headlining and carpets. A great British classic, which exudes class and elegance.
