A C16/UK-supplied 3.3-litre model with an enviable history and in a striking colour combination.An original 'C16' UK specification, right-hand drive example that was sold new on 8th August 1991 by AFN London, at a cost of over £75,000Finished in its original and very rare colour of Tahoe Blue with a Linen White leather interiorLovingly maintained and used sparingly by our vendor since 2016, treating it to a repaint, a suspension and brake overhaul and regular services, having now covered 66,689 milesThe 964 Turbo of 1991 and 1992 utilises the seminal Porsche 3.3-litre flat-six boxer engine, with revisions to make it smoother and less prone to turbo lag, producing 320bhp and 332lb-ft of torqueThe history file, which we have seen in the past and can only be described as impressive is currently missing, however, we may well have it by the time of the saleWe understand that the engine was rebuilt in 2012 and since 2016 it has been treated to a full repaint, a suspension and brake overhaul and regular services, and has now covered just 66,689 milesFollowing the roaring success of the 930-era 911 was always going to be a challenge for Porsche, though with the 964 of 1989, it’s safe to say they not only met, but exceeded their expectations. Representing a significant redesign over the preceding generation yet retaining trademark 911 styling cues such as the classic sloping front end and iconic side profile, the Carrera 4 and Carrera 2 models were introduced in 1989 and 1990 respectively, with an air-cooled M64 3.6-litre flat-six engine. Interestingly, the 964 era was the first 911 generation to offer the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 model in the line-up, and the first to employ the automatic Tiptronic transmission as an option for those looking for a more relaxed driving experience.Further updates over the 930 included the fitting of power steering and ABS as standard, significant revisions to the suspension setup with coil springs and shock absorbers replacing the torsion bar setup of its predecessor, and the front and rear bumpers were integrated with the body shell for improved aesthetics and aerodynamics.With the success of the C2 and C4 models, came the introduction of the coveted Turbo model in 1990, offering all of the aforementioned 964 upgrades, but featuring a revised version of the 3.3-litre turbocharged flat-six engine found in the 930 Turbo (Porsche not having enough R&D time to implement a turbocharged version of the M64 engine seen in the C2 and C4). Nonetheless, the engine had been significantly upgraded and fettled to sit within buyers’ expectations, with the result being a power output of 316bhp.This car was previously offered and sold by Silverstone Auctions in 2016 when it was accompanied by one of the best history files we had ever seen which, sadly, is now mislaid. It included numerous invoices/receipts along with an original service booklet boasting 20 stamps, an original wallet, previous V5 documents, tax discs and lots of MOT Certificates that substantiated the total mileage of 65,510 miles (in 2016).There were also a large number of invoices documenting much expenditure with respected names such as AFN, Autofarm, Paragon and RPM. In addition, an engine rebuild was carried out in 2012 by the previous owner. We understand that our vendor is actively trying to find the file and, when that occurs, we will obviously update the relevant details.Since 2016 the car has benefitted from being lovingly maintained and used only sparingly, being treated to a full repaint, a suspension and brake overhaul and regular services, and having now covered just 66,689 miles.This is an opportunity to obtain a highly coveted yet usable example of the classic 964 Turbo finished in arguably one of the best factory colour schemes available. It has benefited from diligent ownership and an impressive history of maintenance/servicing and will appeal to collectors, enthusiasts and drivers alike.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 964 TURBOYear: 1991Chassis Number: WPOZZZ96ZMS470071Registration Number: J456 DYPTransmission: Manual Engine Number: 61M00216Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Linen leather Click here for more details and images

One of only 15 Double Rs produced and the only one built with aluminium bodywork.UK-supplied and just 1,369 miles from new with its two ownersOne of only 15 Double Rs in total and the only one built with polished aluminium bodywork (£15k option, standard cars were fibreglass)Powered by a 400bhp, supercharged 2.3-litre Cosworth/Duratec inline-four, mated to a 5-speed manual gearboxOnly 510kg, 60mph from a standstill in less than 3 seconds, 100mph in just 6.5 secondsFixed seat position with adjustable pedals offering capacity for drivers up to around 6’4”Benefiting from recent work in Jan 2022 with Bell Sport and ClassicThis is a serious motorcar offering unbelievable performance and exclusivityWhen it comes to motoring and sports cars in particular, there will always be someone who wants something just that little bit different, a car that puts performance and fun ahead of practicality and day to day transportation. This fact wasn't lost on Colin Chapman when he introduced the Lotus 7 and a number of small builders have carried on the tradition with varying degrees of success. Amongst them are Caterham, Ariel with the Atom, BAC with the Mono, KTM with their X-Bow, a rash of Radicals and the car we have on offer here, the Brooke-Cosworth Double R Supercharged 400.The Brooke Double R originally started life all the way back in the 1990s when the company was known as Brooke Kensington, and the car was the Brooke Kensington ME 190.The company was sold in the early 2000s and its new owners completely re-engineered the car, to the point where there were apparently no interchangeable parts, despite the fact that outwardly the cars did still look quite similar. The double R was offered with a variety of power outputs, normally aspirated 200 and 260bhp and supercharged versions offering 320 and a blistering 400bhp.This is a Double R 400, not surprisingly powered by a 400bhp supercharged 2.3-litre Cosworth/Duratec inline-four, coupled to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Weighing only 510kg, it can hit 60mph from a standstill in less than 3 seconds, and 100mph in just 6.5 seconds. It features a tubular spaceframe chassis, with every tube cut on a CNC laser and although the seat is fixed, the CNC-machined pedals are fully adjustable offering a comfortable seating position for drivers up to around 6’4”.This very special lightweight sportscar is one of only 15 Double Rs produced to date and is in fact the only one built with custom aluminium bodywork, a £15k option as all other cars were fibreglass. The first owner kept the Brooke in a storage bubble from new during his 12 years of ownership and used it lightly which explains the low mileage of just 1,369.The second and current owner has also clearly lovingly maintained this special car and he has also used it simply for its intended purpose, absolutely memorable days out. In January 2022 it benefitted from recent work and expenditure at Bell Sport and Classic and is now 'on its toes' ready for its next lucky owner. There are details on file of the cars recent servicing and maintenance work carried out over the years in the accompanying history file, along with previous correspondence from the first owner on the build etc.This is an incredibly special two-seater sportscar offering performance most supercars built today would envy. Combined with the fact that this is the only one finished with aluminium bodywork, low ownership, low miles and recent work and attention, makes this a seriously rare and exciting opportunity.NB; The Cherished Registration Number illustrated (1 WOA) does not form part of the sale and the car has recently been issued with a fresh MOT.SpecificationMake: BROOKE COSWORTHModel: DOUBLE R 400Year: 2009Chassis Number: BR00KE239DSUP00ZZRegistration Number: WA09 OAPClick here for more details and images

One of just 100 official, UK-supplied, R33 examples sold by Middlehurst Garage.The 42nd official, UK-supplied, R33 GT-R sold (#107). First registered 7/05/1998Supplied new by GT-R specialists Middlehurst Garage in Midnight Purple,Two owners from new, present for 16 years mainly in an air-conditioned garageIn its current state of tune, the forged internals engine has been dyno’d on a rolling road with 486bhp at the wheels (approx 600bhp at the flywheel) at a modest 1.4 bar of boostAccompanied by the original service book, owners manuals and maintenance recordsSpec highlights include 1000cc Injectors, Tomei Fuel Rail, single T78 Turbo, Trust extra capacity oil sump, AEM Series 2 ECU, triple plate clutch, 19” Nismo carbon dipped alloy wheels, D2 fully adjustable suspension, D2 upgraded brake kitThe registration 'N5 GTR' will stay with the carPerhaps underrated, but quietly influential compared to its forbears, the R33 incarnation of the GT-R is still a pure sports car experience, but now aided by some of the most revolutionary handling technology to influence modern performance driving.The new R33 Skyline GT-R was launched in January 1995 with a base GT-R and the V Spec model which offered a sportier suspension set-up resulting in lower ground clearance, and also featured the newer ATTESA E-TS Pro all-wheel drive system, which included an Active Limited-Slip Differential.At the heart of the V-spec was the ATTESA-ETS Pro Electronic Torque Split System which, at the time, made it arguably the most technologically advanced production car in the world. The system was conceived in the 1990s for the JTCC to enable some 600bhp to be fed through the wheels and on to the racetrack efficiently. ETS Pro satisfied the purists by offering all the advantages of rear-wheel drive until the conditions dictated otherwise.The V Spec also featured an active LSD on the rear axle which further aided traction by calculating the optimum torque-split between the left and right rear wheels, variable from fully locked to totally free.Working along with ATTESA-ETS PRO, is the SUPER HICAS rear-wheel steering. This uses a series of sensors to monitor vehicle motion, rate of turn and the driver's action on the steering wheel. Complex software then compares this information to the computer predictions of the car's ideal turning characteristics, adjusting the angle of the rear wheels to reflect the driver's intentions. The result of this type of technology? Neutral steering and unrivalled cornering capabilities.The engine in the R33 was nearly identical to the previous R32 using the same turbochargers and the same specification for the manual gearbox, although the synchros were made to be stronger.The increased body rigidity and improved handling potential necessitated several specially designed cross members being incorporated into the monocoque and extra torsion bars were added to the multi-link suspension to further enhance stability. Working closely with Bridgestone technicians to perfect the Potenza tyres, Nissan put the prototype R33 GT-R through its paces in all weathers at the notorious Nürburgring, earning them a daring reputation amongst other manufacturers.Tested in the wind tunnel and capable of around 175 mph, the Skyline GT-R's adjustable rear spoiler lets you find the best compromise between wind resistance and grip. To equalise front/rear weight distribution, the bonnet and front wings were made of aluminium instead of steel and the battery was fitted at the base of the car's boot, lowering the centre of gravity and further improving handling.Inside the Skyline GT-R, form followed function. Mono-form bucket seats with integrated headrests that are lightweight yet immensely tough provided the ideal driving position and supported the body against the G-forces endured under hard acceleration and cornering.The braking system was designed by Italy's famous Brembo Spa, suppliers to many of the world's Formula 1 teams at this time. Four-piston calipers were fitted on the front with two-piston calipers on the rear to bite into the discs with a diamond shaped ventilation bores which increased the surface area to aid heat dissipation. The GT-R's braking system utilises the same wheel rotation sensors used to control the ATTESA-ETS PRO, to activate the high-performance ABS, ensuring that the huge Brembo calipers always deliver optimum performance.The car presented here is the 42nd official, UK-supplied, R33 GT-R sold (#107) and was first registered on the 7th May 1998. Supplied new by renowned GT-R specialists ‘Middlehurst Garage’ (in arguably the best ‘Godzilla’ colour of Midnight Purple) to its first owner, a Mr Craven, who bought it as a company car. He was quite obviously a genuine Japanese sports-car enthusiast, with an understanding of the associated culture, especially 20 or so years ago. To release the latent performance potential from this sort of machine, Mr Craven commissioned specialists ‘Abbey Motorsport’ of Surrey to carry out an engine conversion from 2.6-litre to 2.8-litre (not dissimilar to the specification of the ‘mythical’ UK trio of ‘500R’ R33s). Knowing the expertise of Abbey Motorsport and that this is a well-known route to performance amongst GT-R owners, our vendor subsequently leapt at the opportunity to buy the car and thus become the car’s 2nd owner, cherishing it for the last 16 years. Unsurprisingly, it is accompanied by the original service book, owners’ manuals, and maintenance records.As a member of the GT-R Club and very much part of the owners’ community, our vendor is well-placed to understand and evaluate these special cars. His car is not only special due to its UK-supplied status and its amazing paint colour of Midnight Purple, but there have also been some choice enhancements added to it, something these cars thrive on and is regarded as the ‘done thing’. Hence, through his owners’ club connections, he sourced from another member a very sound RB26 2.6-litre engine, professionally installing it and setting about a raft of upgrades. In its current state of tune, the forged internals of this RB26 engine have been dyno’d on a rolling road with 486bhp at the wheels, at a modest 1.4 bar of boost which equates to about 600bhp at the flywheel. The engine can run at 2 bar, which would generate around 800bhp but would inevitably put additional strain on the components. Further spec details include 1000cc Injectors, Tomei Fuel Rail, single T78 Turbo, Trust extra capacity oil sump, AEM Series 2 ECU, competition triple plate clutch, 19” Nismo carbon dipped alloy wheels, D2 fully adjustable suspension, and D2 upgraded brake kit.Potential bidders should not be deterred by the engine installation or modifications, there are very few standard-specification matching-numbers R33 examples out there and would certainly demand a £100,000-plus guide price. Knowledgeable ownership, the quality of the work carried out and maintenance are key to these cars. Reassuringly solid on the underside (with most metal here having been preventatively powder-coated over the years) and inner wings, the known vulnerable area of a GT-R, the car has benefitted from such diligent improvements and ownership, plus regular servicing, and considerate storage - being garaged for the last 16 years in an air-conditioned facility.

Two-wheel drive 993 C2 Tiptronic in a fabulous colour.C16 UK-supplied 911 (993) C2 Tiptronic3.6-litres, 272bhp, 0-60 in 5.6 secs and 168mph60,424 miles and four previous keepersFinished in Iris Blue (L39V) with a smart light grey interiorIn a private collection. Less than 2,000 miles in the last 5 yearsOriginal book pack and stamped service book containing 16 stampsFull service and fresh MOT prior to the saleThe 993 was the final generation of the air-cooled 911, and as such will always have a special place in the affections of Porsche enthusiasts. It is also widely said to be the last of the 911s that were built whilst engineering integrity overruled accounting pressures at Porsche. Twenty years on, it still looks modern - a truly timeless design. The 993 was launched in the autumn of 1994 and was claimed to be 80% new. The bodywork was altogether more curvaceous, with a number of new panels and the overall look was much smoother and more integrated. Importantly, this new style was still every inch a 911 in the traditional manner, with the profiles of the doors and rear quarter windows remaining unchanged from earlier models.The biggest change under the skin was the new multi-link rear suspension, giving greater driver confidence, less road noise and excellent ride quality. Designed to give a level of passive rear-wheel steering (the 'Weissach effect'), thus controlling the way the suspension behaved under cornering, braking and acceleration, it transformed the 911. It was also the first 911 to be equipped with power steering and an advanced ABS system. The 993 uses essentially the same 3.6-litre engine as the 964, mated to a development of the worthy G50 gearbox, but now with six forward gears or the smooth Tiptronic automatic gearbox. Whereas the Porsche 964 produced 247 bhp, the 993 from 1995 produced 272bhp enabling a top speed of over 150mph and acceleration to match.Looking sublime in Iris Blue with a complementing Light Grey leather upholstery, this lovely 993 was supplied by H R Owen of St Albans on the 10th of August 1996 to its first owner a Mr David Richards. It was subsequently enjoyed by three further keepers before being purchased by its current owner in 2013 and joining his private collection in 2016 where it has relaxed in heated storage with only occasional use amounting to 2,000 odd miles in the last five years. It's supplied with its full original book pack and stamped service book containing 16 stamps and an accompanying A4 file with a plethora of invoices backing up the service stamps and also 9 old MOTs. The indicated mileage is 60,424 and prior to the sale it will be fully serviced by Greatworth Classics and MOT’d by them to ensure this gorgeous 911 is on the button for the sale. It's fitted with a Parrot Handsfree Kit for up to date communication should anyone not wish to not hear the howl of that glorious 3.6-litre flat-six.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 CARRERAYear: 1996Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99ZTS315668Registration Number: P493 OMJEngine Number: 63T52714Make: Interior Colour: CreamClick here for more details and images
