1929 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Supercharged Super Sport Spider by ZagatoReg. no. JYH 98Chassis no. 0312931For 1929, as a natural development, the 1750 6C replaced the 1500; the increase in displacement brought an increase in power, with upwards of 75mph within reach for most versions. The most potent of the 1929 models was the ‘Super Sport Compressore’ – of which JYH 98 is an example. These cars were supercharged – ‘compressore’ being the Italian for supercharger – and with their lightweight construction, 85bhp output, and sporty bodies, were good for 90mph. Indeed, such was the success of the new model that in that year’s Mille Miglia, six of the top ten finishers were 6Cs, the race being won by Giuseppe Campari and Giulio Ramponi in a 1750 Super Sport. Other notable victories followed, with the 24 Hours of Spa Francorchamps, the 12 Hours of San Sebastian and Grand Prix of Ireland all being conquered in 1929, while the RAC Tourist Trophy and another Spa success followed in 1930. The Super Sport evolved into the Gran Sport in 1930, claiming yet more famous victories – none more famous perhaps than Tazio Nuvolari’s win in that year’s Mille Miglia, where he drove for many miles in the dark with the headlights off, following his teammate Achille Varzi. Near the end, he turned them on and caught Varzi completely by surprise, and swept past to claim victory – just one of the many great motor racing tales involving Alfa 6Cs.As mentioned above, JYH 98 is from the first-year of 1750 production, and with its Zagato body and Super Sport Compressore specification, is the most sporting and desirable 6C offered that year. The car’s early history is mostly unknown; the old logbook in the file lists its first registration in the UK as the 16th of June 1948, and the importer is noted separately as Chipstead Motors of London. It is from this point that the car’s story is well-documented. The first owner was John Pitcher of Wrangle in Lincolnshire; there is a letter on file where he states that he purchased the car from Reg Parnell of Derby. Between 1951 and 1957, the car passed through the hands of no fewer than eight owners.In May 1961, the car finally found a long-term home, when it was acquired by the late Michael Hirst, from whose estate the car is now offered. When Mr Hirst acquired the car, it was fitted with a Ford V8 – the simple, mass-produced side-valve V8 quite a contrast to the exquisite, double-overhead-cam unit with which it left the factory! Correspondence reveals that the original engine suffered an unfortunate and terminal blow-up in the early 1950s. When sold in 1951 by Chiltern Cars to Mr R J Hedges of Spaxton, Somerset, the 1750 engine was still in place; two years later, however, when sold to S.A Hurrell, again from Chiltern Cars, the engine was gone. The ex-War Department Ford V8 was duly fitted, before the car was sold on again to Delta Garages of Leighton Buzzard in 1955.As can be imagined, Mr Hirst had quite a task on his hands to return his new purchase to something approaching original form. Work proceeded rapidly however; a replacement engine was sourced – engine number 121215071, a 1933 1750 SS unit – and this was duly rebuilt. By summer 1964, the car was ready for a drive to Italy to visit the Alfa Romeo factory in Milan. There, it was inspected by Alfa staff, and it was positively identified as a 3rd Series 1750 SS of 1929, chassis number 0312931, and still wearing its original Zagato body. There is a letter on file from Alfa Romeo concerning this, dated 17th September 1964. Mr Hirst replied on 25th September, pointing out that 0332931, not 0312931, is stamped on the front dumb-iron; on 3rd October, Alfa Romeo replied, confirming their original identification of 0312931 – stating with confidence that the 3 was either a simple factory error or a later modification. Another example of the extensive correspondence with Alfa Romeo concerns the cylinder block; Mr Hirst reported that, on the long drive back from Milan, it overheated on the famous St Bernard Pass and cracked, and inquired about making one in steel with cast-iron liners. Alfa duly sent him a drawing of the cylinder block, for reference should he wish to make a replacement.Correspondence also reveals a tantalizing trace of possible competition history. When it was suggested that perhaps this car had been driven at Brooklands in 1929 by that year’s joint Mille Miglia winner Giulio Ramponi, Alfa got in contact with his engineer from that time, Mr Perfetti. He confirmed that he probably tested the car in 1929, as this was his task, but that it was unclear whether the car was the one Ramponi raced at Brooklands.During the many years that Mr Hirst owned and enjoyed the car, he and his wife Jo were stalwarts of what was then the Alfa Romeo Section of the VSCC, attending many events both in the UK and abroad. As proprietor of Frenchay Garage, Mr Hirst was well-placed both to keep his own car in excellent running condition, and to support others. Little used in recent years due to ill health and Mr Hirst’s subsequent passing, the car does however remain in a very good state, as befits a much-loved car from long-term enthusiast ownership.The car is now offered as an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a 1750 SS 6C, still with its original Zagato body, that has not changed hands for sixty years. It comes with excellent provenance, with the chassis and body confirmed by Alfa Romeo as original, and the engine identified as a proper 1750 SS unit that has now been in the car for the majority of its life. The history file contains the correspondence mentioned above, plus several old logbooks and MOTs, and a large quantity of photographs taken over the course of the Hirsts’ long ownership.
2002 Jaguar S Type V8R AutoReg. no. LD52 HVHChassis no. SAJAC035221M50255Engine no. 1B0202270537The acquisition of Jaguar by Ford in 1989 reinvigorated the desire to develop a smaller saloon to complement the large XJ and challenge the likes of BMW’s 5-series. This finally came to fruition with the launch, 10 years later, of the S-Type. Named in homage to the 1963-68 S-Type, the car featured the retro-inspired styling that was in vogue at the time, while actually being an all-new and thoroughly modern car. Available with a range of smooth and powerful V6 and V8 engines, the car was highly praised on launch for its luxurious interior, refinement, composed handling and superb ride. Indeed, it was considered by many experts to be the class-leader – no mean feat when competing against the long-established might of the German giants. The most desirable S-Type was launched in 2002 – the 400bhp R. Powered by a hand-built supercharged 4.2-litre V8, the car was blisteringly quick and had handling to match, and like the less powerful models, gained much acclaim from the motoring press.This 2002 automatic R is in good all-round condition. However, although with a current MOT, it has been in storage for some time, so some light recommissioning and servicing would be advisable before much use. It comes with a service book with eight stamps, two keys, some bills and a V5C.Estimate: £5,500 – 6,000

1953 Bentley R-Type SaloonRegistration no. UNV 940Chassis no. B484SR*Bentley R Type Saloon*Good history*Low mileage of only 43,000 milesThe Bentley R Type saloon is known for being one of the first super saloons ever produced. The car featured a torquey 4.5 litre 6-cylinder engine coupled with a 4 speed manual gearbox, and even today the car's performance is impressive considering it's nearly 70 years old.This example has only had a handful of owners in the last 34 years, and comes with a full record of all works carried out in this time, (which are so comprehensive that a trunk has to accommodate them), during which the car has only completed 36,000 miles. The works include a complete engine, clutch & radiator core rebuild by Hillier Hill Ltd (only 22,000 miles ago). A further mechanical and interior restoration was also carried out between 2007-2009 with a photographic record. A complete suspension and braking system overhaul has also been completed, with the car now featuring a continental high ratio rear axle for improved comfort. The interior has been previously stripped out, including veneers, carpets and the bulkhead – and the leather has been restored. There is also a record of works undertaken by the previous owner, including routine servicing, a head gasket replacement, an original radio upgrade and a full set of new tyres. The original semaphore indicators still work, and for further safety modern indicators have been placed underneath the bumpers both front and back.Hot or cold, the car runs smoothly and tours on motorways comfortably with the high ratio axle installed. The suspension is also very compliant and the brakes work as they should.The paintwork has been changed over the years, for the original factory build records suggest that the car was was Masons Black with Tan interior originally. The current colour scheme is Tudor over Shell Grey with grey hides – with the records showing that this change was carried out prior to the 1980s. The paintwork is in very good condition bar a small ding on the rear bumper by the over rider. Overall, the car presents beautifully and harks back to a time gone by.

Built by Andy Saunders, The Alchemist1998 Suzuki Wagon RRegistration no. S447 BAAChassis no. JSAEMA81S00200610Odometer reading: 39,000MOT Expiry: TBC*Custom built Suzuki Wagon R*Designed to resemble a Hummer*Low mileageBuilt by Andy Saunders, 'The Alchemist' is a unique custom-built vehicle that's based off of a 1998 Suzuki Wagon R. The idea behind the project was to give a forgotten, ugly and small car an attitude – and look similar to that of a vehicle 20 times its value. The result of the project is what you see today – a 'baby Hummer' styled vehicle that looks like nothing else on the road. The lettering ALCHEMIST was designed by John Langdown, the same guy who created the lettering for Dan Brown's book Angels and Demons. The wording is totally bespoke, and is completely symmetrical reading the same backwards as it does forwards. The vehicle runs and drives well and has a low mileage of 39,000 miles. Saunders built the Alchemist for himself to daily drive, and the car has been finished very professionally. A truly unique one-of-a-kind vehicle.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 79/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1954 Bentley R-Type 4½-Litre SaloonRegistration no. Not UK registeredChassis no. B292YD*Automatic transmission*Right hand drive*Present ownership since 2011*Acquired in the USAThe rationalisation policy begun in the late 1930s continued at Rolls-Royce after the war with the introduction of standard bodywork. The new 'standard steel' body was available at first only on the Bentley MkVI, the equivalent Rolls-Royce - the Silver Dawn - not appearing until 1949. A separate chassis was retained and the range featured a new design of independent front suspension, hydraulic front brakes, and a new 4,257cc, six-cylinder, 'F-head' (inlet-over-exhaust) engine, the latter enlarged to 4,566cc in 1951. In 1952 a much needed improvement to the standard bodywork arrived in the form of an enlarged boot together with alterations to the rear wings and suspension, subsequent models incorporating these changes being known as the R-Type Bentley and E-Series Silver Dawn. Chassis number 'B292YD' was manufactured in 1954 and has the Rolls-Royce/General Motors Hydramatic four-speed automatic transmission that had recently become available as an option (and would be standardised on the successor Bentley S1). Little is known of this car's history and the documentation on file consists of the original State of New Jersey Certificate of Title and bill of sale when the vendor purchased it from Sports & Specialist Cars of Hopewell, New Jersey in October 2011. Having been stored for the intervening period, the car may require some re-commissioning prior to road use. Subsequently exported, the Bentley is subject to the low import duty rate of 5% should it remain in the UK.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* Subject to import tax at a preferential rate on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (CARS) to undertake the NOVA on the Buyer's behalf.

1968 Aston Martin DB6 Sports SaloonRegistration no. YMO 32F - Not currently UK Registered (see text)Chassis no. DB6/3351/R*Automatic transmission*Present ownership since 2012*Requires re-commissioning'The object of the changes (in creating the DB6) has been to make room for adults in the two occasional back seats, but at the same time the opportunity has been taken to make a number of detail improvements to the rest of the car.' – Autocar, 1965.According to the accompanying copy guarantee form, '3351/R' was delivered new equipped with automatic transmission; power assisted steering; chrome road wheels; heated rear screen; Motorola radio; power operated aerial; three-ear hubcaps; Webasto sunroof; Marchal fog/spot lamps; and front safety belts. The car was finished in Oystershell with red leather interior, and was first owned by one Anthony B Davies of London, its original registration being 'KLR 56D'. Servicing at the factory is recorded up to August 1973. When acquired by the owner at a UK auction in 2012, the Aston was registered to Mr David Atkinson of Sunderland, its previous owner (from 1987) having been Mr Michael Squirrel of Kent. The car was said to have 'driven and run well' when last taxed and MoT'd in 2010. Exported after the 2012 auction, the DB6 will attract the low import duty rate of 5% and will require re-registering if it is to remain in the UK. It will, of course, also require re-commissioning before further use.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* Subject to import tax at a preferential rate on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (CARS) to undertake the NOVA on the Buyer's behalf.

1968 Aston Martin DB6 Sports SaloonRegistration no. PYR 916F - Not currently UK Registered (see text)Chassis no. DB6/3372/R*Converted from automatic to five-speed manual transmission in the 1980s*Mk2 Vantage engine blockAccording to the accompanying copy guarantee form, '3372/R' was delivered new equipped with automatic transmission; power assisted steering; chrome road wheels; heated rear screen; power operated aerial; three-ear hubcaps; and front safety belts. The car was finished in Dubonnet Rosso with tan leather interior and was first owned by Mr P A Bass of Leicestershire. It is understood that the conversion from automatic transmission to the current five-speed manual gearbox was carried out by Chevron specialist Vin Malkie, whose Manchester garage maintained the car from 1981 to 1989. The engine block, a later Mk2 Vantage component, dates from this period. The suspension was rebuilt around 21 years ago and the bodywork repainted in Silver Birch by Eaton Square Garage circa 20 years ago. The seat leather is original and un-restored. The previous owner acquired the Aston in 2006, carrying out light restoration and only driving the car on day trips during summer months. When the DB6 was sold to the current owner at Bonhams' Aston Martin Works auction in 2012 (Lot 233), it was stated that the most recent maintenance had included renewing the rear springs; fitting an aluminium radiator and new fan cowling; Zircoating the exhaust manifolds; and replacing both front sections of the exhaust with stainless pipes and flexible connections. Having been stored for the intervening period, the car may require some re-commissioning prior to road use. Exported post-sale, the car is subject to the low import duty rate of 5% and will require re-registering if it is to remain in the UK.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* Subject to import tax at a preferential rate on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (CARS) to undertake the NOVA on the Buyer's behalf.

The Last of the ÒSZÓ Series of Bentley cars before being replaced by the BMW developed Arnage. Produced from 1985 Ð 1997 the later facelift Turbo Rs benefited from subtle styling changes, the preferred 4 speed automatic gearbox with now sought after Òfloor shiftÓ gear change to replace the earlier Òcolumn shiftÓWith 296BHP The Turbo R was the fastest Saloon car on sale when launched, coupled with the unrivalled luxury, and build quality of Bentley the Turbo R was a huge success selling over 7,000 cars before replacing with the Arnage.This example is finished in Balmoral green with a red pinstripe, this theme continues inside with green Connolly leather interior with contrasting red piping. Being a later model car, it also comes with mesh grill in body coloured surround.Driven regularly by its current owner and driven to our site, the car starts and drives as expected and comes with a sizeable history file a must on a Bentley of this era.Registered on the 25th of August 1992 and having covered 110,000 miles.

Owned by husband and wife for over 23 years and under 6,000 miles from new. Bought by our vendors late husband new in 1998, it has been fastidiously maintained throughout its life Accompanied by a copy of its build sheet, this car comes with its maintenance booklet detailing no less than 22 recorded services All of these were carried out by Michael Powell of Leicester and more latterly Bentley Birmingham Most recent service included tyre replacement due to age not wear of course One family ownership, less than 6,000 miles, a full service history and on offer at No Reserve seems a once in a lifetime opportunity Built and designed in Crewe under BMW’s short-lived stewardship and named after a famous corner at Le Mans, the Arnage Green Label was to be all new, and featured BMW’s proven 4.4-litre V8 with the addition of twin-turbos and some serious engineering input from the brains at Cosworth. With 349bhp and 420lb/ft, the car had impressive mid-range and low-down punch, weighed less than the out-going model (and those that followed it), and boasted a five-speed automatic gearbox which offered greater flexibility and much improved economy over the, somewhat Neanderthal, four-speed 6.75-litre previous arrangements. The Arnage cost over £170,000 when new in 1998 before any bespoke options were considered. Our vendor and her late husband ordered this delightful example early in the production run and it was delivered to them on the 'Glorious' 12th of August, 1998. It has subsequently been fastidiously maintained by the supplying dealership, Michael Powell of Leicester, and more recently by her local Bentley dealership for sentimental reasons. This immaculate has covered a mere 5,967 miles but, regardless of cost, it has been serviced annually and the original grey book pack proudly displays 22 Service Stamps with further addendums. This remarkable Bentley was specified from new in Silver Tempest, with a lovely Cotswold leather interior, enhanced by a Wildberry roll top, carpets, seat piping, steering wheel, gear lever, sun visors and lots of lovely Burr Oak veneers. Used only occasionally, for family weddings and the like, our vendor has decided that the need to downsize means 'head over heart' and the time has come to part with the family Bentley. These cars represent the epitome of British luxury with enormous 'kerbside' appeal. It's difficult to imagine a vehicle that in terms of style, performance, looks and sheer presence offers better value for money and this astonishing example from one family ownership, with less than 6,000 miles, a full service history and on offer at 'No Reserve' seems to be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Delivered new to Monaco and offered directly from single family ownership with just 19,100 miles.Manufactured in left-hand drive for Jaguar France SA on 14/03/1989 in Signal Red with a Magnolia interiorBelieved to have been bought by our vendor’s late father-in-law from the Jaguar stand at the Paris Motor ShowDelivered by British Motors of Monte Carlo, Monaco in April 1989 to the family home where it stayed until 2016The detailed history shows historical invoices from British Motors and Welwyn JaguarUpon registration in the UK the KPH odometer unit was changed by Grange Welwyn Jaguar to MPH with corresponding mileage19,500 miles (atoc) indicated, corroborated by the history file and accompanying KPH unitPresented to auction in superb condition befitting from a lifetime in the South of France and an MOT until 21st April 2022Conceived as a stylish, comfortable and long-legged Grand Routier, rather than an out-and-out sports car like the preceding E-Type, the XJ-S made use of the Jaguar XJ6/XJ12 saloon platform and running gear. Shorter in the wheelbase than its saloon siblings, it debuted as a V12-powered Coupe, with six-cylinder and soft-top versions following in the 1980s. It had a lot to live up to and comparisons to its iconic predecessor are dismissed, with hindsight, as unfair whilst Jaguar were sensibly long-sighted with their launch and ambitions for the model. Nippy, impractical British sports cars were difficult to sell during the 1980s as the market segmented. Aston Martin’s V8 Coupé catered for the very wealthy and Lotus’ futuristic Esprit was the car of choice for those who were image concious. The XJS, however, was the perfect car for the successful gentleman of a certain age wanting a stylish, comfortable sports coupe that cut a dash, moreover it was particularly popular with women. By the time production had ceased in 1996, 115,413 coupes, cabriolets and convertibles had found homes.We are told by our vendor, the daughter-in-law of Mr Miller, the car’s first owner, that this XJS was ordered on the Jaguar stand at the 1989 Paris Motor Show. Resplendent in Signal Red with a Magnolia leather interior, the car was delivered by British Motors of Monte Carlo, who were not just the concessionaires for Jaguar but also Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Aston Martin. Registered ‘7279 MC’ as an official Monaco resident's car, a privilege afforded only to the very wealthy, it was lightly used by Mr Miller, hardly ever in the rare event of rain, and maintained by British Motors’ service department as documented by the historical invoices on file. When the car left Monaco for repatriation to the United Kingdom in 2016, the odometer showed a mere 29,786 kilometres had been covered, as confirmed by the original odometer-unit supplied with the car.When our vendor and her husband moved back to this country permanently, the Jaguar was registered with the DVLA on 22nd June 2016. The odometer unit was changed by Jaguar main dealers Grange Welwyn to a mileometer unit and the digits updated to match the original kilometres in equivalent miles of 18,508, prior to an MOT the next day at 18,510 miles. Subsequently, the online MOT history shows incremental increases over the years corroborated by Grange Welwyn’s service receipts and, indeed, the car has only travelled some 582 miles since 2016. Whilst in the UK, the car has been maintained, and MOT’d annually, for largely sentimental reasons and as it’s unlikely to be used much by the family, as a left-hand drive car on British roads, it’s now regretfully offered for sale.At the time of cataloguing, the indicated mileage is 19,100 and the car is presented to auction in superb overall condition having obviously benefited from its time in Monaco. The scuttles are in very good order, however, we note that there are dings to each of the rear bumper chrome quarter blades but the buyer should be able to find replacements with relative ease. There is evidence of wear to the driver’s side seat bolster, common with all XJS and indicative of short journeys, Monaco has only thirty miles of urban roads after all.In conclusion, it is rare to offer a low mileage, Monaco-delivered Jaguar from single British family ownership, benefiting from little use in a largely dry climate. The history file includes reams of historical and more recent invoices from Jaguar main dealers, a spare key, the Heritage Certificate, the owner’s manual and the current MOT which is valid until 22nd April 2022.Unlike most of its contemporaries, this venerable XJS has spent twenty-seven years being much admired in Monte Carlo amidst acres of brightly coloured exotica and being offered valet-parking outside the Café de Paris, a rare honour, simply because the Monésgasque appreciate classic British style.Smart examples of Jaguar’s big coupé, in all its iterations, are becoming increasingly sought-after, and this low-mileage, Signal Red car with a detailed history and lovely provenance is worth a closer look.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XJS COUPÉYear: 1989Chassis Number: SAJJNAEW4BB160907Registration Number: G357 PWXTransmission: AutomaticDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 19100 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: MagnoliaClick here for more details and images
Looking fabulous in Capri Blue, this sparkling DB6 benefits from an upgraded 4-speed auto box and a comprehensive history file.Dating from 1966, DB6/2563/R was delivered new to H.W motors Ltd. for its first owner, J.F.P TateFinished from new in Capri Blue with Dark Blue Connolly hide and dark blue carpetsThe accompanying Aston Martin Heritage Trust Certificate confirms the car was right-hand drive and fitted with a Borg-Warner, 4-speed automatic gearboxFurther optioned with Chrome Wire Wheels, 3-eared spinners, Fiamm horns and Avon TurbospeedsThe automatic four-speed gear box has received the 'Chapman' upgrade offering seamless gear changesFull and interesting ownership history. With our private vendor for the last seven yearsFull matching numbers, factory spec and in a fabulous colour. A lovely example The culmination of Aston Martin's long-running line of DB six-cylinder sports saloons, and thus considered by many to be the last 'real' Aston, the DB6 was introduced in 1965, updating the DB5. Although recognisably related to the Touring-styled DB4 of 1958, the DB6 abandoned the Carrozzeria Touring-developed 'Superleggera' body structure of its predecessors in favour of conventional steel fabrication whilst retaining the aluminium outer panels.Increased rear-seat space was the prime DB6 objective so the wheelbase was now four inches longer than before, resulting in an extensive restyle with a more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Opening front quarter-lights made a reappearance but the major change was at the rear where a 'Kamm tail' with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. These many dimensional changes were integrated most successfully, as the DB6's overall length increased by only two inches. The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5 and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification, complete with triple Webers. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox, and for the first time, there was optional power-assisted steering. High profile owners in the early days included HRH Prince Charles, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Twiggy and Peter Sellers.DB6/2563/R was delivered new to H.W motors Ltd for J.F.P Tate, Esq. finished in Capri Blue with Dark Blue Connolly hide (VM 3282) and dark blue carpets. Although subsequently resprayed, the Aston is still presented today in the same Capri Blue with its very nicely aged original interior. The Aston Martin Heritage Trust Certificate confirms the specification being right-hand drive and fitted with a Borg-Warner, 4-speed automatic gearbox plus non-standard equipment including chrome roadwheels, heated rear window, three-eared hub spinners, Fiamm horns, a powered aerial and Avon Turbospeed tyres. The car was in daily use early on in its life and regularly serviced and maintained including a cylinder head overhaul and front suspension rebuild in 1967. It is still matching numbers, today, unlike many DB6s.The car's second owner was a Mr Pitkethly in 1984 who sold it, in 1992, to a Mr Hine who, in turn, later sold the DB6 to Le Riche 'Automobile Restorers' of Jersey in 2002. A little later, Le Riche were persuaded to part with the Aston by a Mr Hoy of Jersey (Reg. J 6929) who kept the vehicle until its export out of Jersey in December 2009.The next change of ownership was to Aston Martin Works Ltd. in April 2014, who sold it to the owner prior to our vendor. He appears to have cherished the car judging by its lovely overall condition today, and covered less than 600 miles in nearly 4 years.This car retains much of its originality, character and is still on its original number plate. It's matching numbers throughout and presented in the original colour of Capri Blue, a rare hue for a DB6 but one that really suits it making the big GT look slimmer and lighter somehow and will, without a doubt, turn heads as it continues to age gracefully. It is also noted that the automatic four-speed gear box has received the 'Chapman' upgrade, and this is very clear when you experience the smoothness of the shifts.OPC 308D is supplied with a fascinating history file direct from the current private owner who has had it for the last seven years, covering very few journeys but all of them memorable we are assured!The history file includes a Heritage Trust Certificate confirming both the original factory specification and matching numbers status.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB6Year: 1966Chassis Number: DB62563RRegistration Number: OPC3 08DTransmission: Auto 4 SpeedEngine Number: 400-2461 Make: Interior Colour: Blue LeatherClick here for more details and images
The rakishly elegant DB6 was the ultimate evolution of David Brown's blood-line of 1960s thoroughbred Grand Tourers.Lovely DB6 finished in original Pacific Blue with Natural Connolly hidesDOHC, straight-six, 3995 cc, 282 bhp @ 5500 rpm/280 lbs-ft @ 4500 rpmSupplied new by Sundridge Park Motors in August,1969.

Although recognisably related to the Touring-styled DB4 of 1958, the DB6 abandoned the Carrozzeria Touring-developed 'Superleggera' body structure of its predecessors in favour of conventional steel fabrication whilst retaining the aluminium outer panels.Increased rear-seat space was the prime DB6 objective so the wheelbase was now four inches longer than before, resulting in an extensive restyle with a more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Opening front quarter-lights made a reappearance but the major change was at the rear where a 'Kamm tail' with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. These many dimensional changes were integrated most successfully, as the DB6's overall length increased by only two inches.

Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification, complete with triple Webers. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox, and for the first time, there was optional power-assisted steering.DB6/3566/R was supplied new on 22nd August 1969 by Sundridge Park Motors in Bromley, finished in factory Pacific Blue with a Natural Connolly hide interior. Initially registered as CN19, the first owner also specified a number of additional factory-fitted options including PAS, heated rear screen, front seat belts and chrome wire wheels. Records held within the history file indicate the first owner retained the car for some 8 years and it has subsequently passed through the hands of a further 6 owners until our vendor acquired the car October 2015.Whilst being delighted with his acquisition it was our vendors intention to improve the cars driveability by replacing the auto gearbox and commissioning a professional conversion to a Tremec 5-speed manual, with all the additional works including a new carpet set associated with such a conversion. Whilst in the custody of the engineers, it was noted that the engine was not performing correctly and suffering oil pressure issues. With the ambition to own a reliable and driveable DB6 our vendor commissioned a complete engine rebuild and upgraded to 4.2-litres. Such works were entrusted to Aston Martin specialists Warren Heath who duly completed a comprehensive £18,000 build including a dyno-test prior to installation. Details of the build are contained within the history file. MOT records verify, in addition to benefitting from an MOT valid until February 2022, the car has been used sparingly since the engine and gearbox work having covered only 700 miles. This is clearly one for the true DB6 driving enthusiast having benefitted from significant expenditure during our vendors ownership with desirable upgrades and maintenance.Details of the car’s life and work carried out over the years are contained in the interesting owner’s file, including factory build sheets, previous owner history, and an Owner's Handbook. We thoroughly recommend interested parties take the opportunity to inspect both the car and the history file first hand.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB6 MANUALYear: 1969Chassis Number: DB6 3566RRegistration Number: WYU 209HTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Natural ConnolyClick here for more details and images
This beautiful DB6 Volante has been fitted with a manual gearbox and upgraded to ‘Vantage spec’. A real driver’s car. An original right-hand drive, UK-supplied Mk1, originally delivered in Sierra Blue with a grey interior Later sold to both French and Swiss based owners with various invoices and some correspondence in the history file At some point it was upgraded to Vantage specification and fitted with a manual gearbox Will need fully re-commissioning after a long period of storage in a large collection Presented on a NOVA with UK taxes paid Considered by many to be the last 'real' Aston Martin, the DB6 was launched in 1965 replacing the outgoing DB5. The wheelbase was now 4" (100mm) longer than before, resulting in an extensive restyle with a more raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Opening front quarter-lights made a reappearance, but the major change was at the rear where a ‘Kamm’ tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. "The tail lip halves the aerodynamic lift around maximum speed and brings in its train greater headroom and more luggage space", declared Motor magazine, concluding that the DB6 was one of the finest sports cars it had tested. Tadek Marek’s proven six cylinder engine, which had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5, remained unchanged offering 282bhp on triple SU carburettors rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification. Premiered at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 Volante marked the first occasion the evocative 'Volante' name had been applied to a soft-top Aston Martin. After 37 Volante convertibles had been completed on the DB5 short-wheelbase chassis, the model adopted the longer DB6 chassis in October 1966. A mere 140 DB6 based Volantes were manufactured, and of these only 29 were specified with the more powerful Vantage engine. According to a copy of the original build sheet, this right-hand drive, Mk1 DB6 Volante was delivered to its first owner, a Dr Frank Sondheimer of Kensington Palace Gardens, London on the 11th February 1967. DBVC/3611/R had been ordered in Sierra Blue with grey interior and a matching convertible roof and specified from new with Borg-Warner automatic transmission, 3.54:1 limited-slip differential, chrome wire wheels, a power-operated aerial, 7 pints of antifreeze and power-assisted steering. From the Aston’s history file, it appears that its first owner retained the car until May 1980 when he sold it to a gentleman based in Lyon, France. The third owner was also French but it seems he moved to Switzerland at some point during his ownership of the DB6. The fourth owner was also based in Switzerland, having purchased the car on the 14th January 2002. There is a further invoice from 2006 from a ‘Sammy Garage’, a restoration company based in Geneva, prior to the car being exported from Switzerland. There are various invoices in the file from the cars time in France and Switzerland along with a ‘Livret D’entretien et D’utilisation’ booklet for DB5/6 Volantes. The DB6 is presented to auction on a NOVA with UK taxes paid and as #3611/R has spent the past 10 years or so in a large private collection of carefully selected Aston Martins, it will therefore need fully recommissioning before returning to the road. The very pinnacle of British open-top motoring in the 1960s, this beautiful DB6 Volante has, at some point, been fitted with a manual gearbox and upgraded to ‘Vantage spec’ ensuring that, once returned to the roads, this will be a real driver’s car to use and enjoy.

*It has been brought to our attention that the odometer reading has stopped operating*. Number #8 of 102 V-spec examples of the remarkable GT-R LM Limited; rare, reveredand in-demand. Founded on saloon car racing dominance, and almost implausible lap times of the Nürburgring, few cars have built up quite such a mantle of invincibility as Nissan's Skyline GT-RThe R33 came in several flavours and sitting near the top in the R33 GT-R hierarchy is the ‘LM Limited’ (model #GGJPRWFR33ZDA-ARAA)All LM Limited examples were Series 2 models and registered in 1996; one of the rarest GTRs, with only 188 examples produced, 86 wearing the standard GT-Rs and 102 adorned with the special V-spec badgeLM standing for Le Mans to celebrate Nissan's participation in the 24-hours race; only available in stunning Championship Blue (BT2), exclusive to this modelThe cars also featured commemorative GT-R decals, a carbon spoiler-blade and N1 cooling ducts/bonnet lipPersonally imported and owned by an enthusiast in 2016, well-serviced and showing just 56,000 miles, and wearing the registration 'GTR 99M'In the world of GT-R geekery, being able to recite every model and its associated tweaks is like currency. First there’s the obvious ones – Z-Tune, 400R and V-Spec. Then you’ve got the slightly more obscure ones – N1, M-Spec and S1.Based on the R33 GT-R, the ‘LM Limited’ isn’t to be confused with the R33 GT-R ‘LM’. The LM (not limited) was a one-off built for homologation so Nissan could go racing in the GT1 class at Le Mans and is housed at Nissan’s Zama storage facility.The car presented here is an LM Limited, another model with its roots buried in Le Mans, but much more subtly. Only available in stunning Championship Blue paintwork, which was exclusive to this model, and featuring commemorative GT-R decals, a carbon spoiler blade and N1 cooling ducts/bonnet lip, all LM Limited cars were Series 2 models and were registered in 1996 – make no mistake, this model is right up there with the rarest of GT-Rs.Only 188 examples of the LM Limited were produced from May 1996; 86 of these wore the standard GT-R badge and the remaining 102 were built on V-spec models. Subtle but effective, there wasn’t a different engine block like in the N1, and the interior didn’t change at all. Powered by the legendary RB26 engine, it still sounds and goes very much like its predecessor the GT-R, plus it's starting to follow the family trait with interest and values on the rise in the past few years.To quote Japanese performance cars specialists ‘Torque GT’: “When you open up that glorious RB26 on an open road there is nothing quite like it, it's one of those distinctive howls that cannot be mistaken for anything else. The linear surge of power through the revs gives the GTR a very different feel to other high performance JDM metal".Everyone will have their own preference as to what kind of power delivery they prefer, but the RB26 feels unburstable and hugely addictive. The R33 GT-R LM Limited is a perfect example of a time where cars screamed personality, something that is often seen as missing in modern cars.”So, if the homologation LM already existed, and Nissan never won any class at Le Mans with a Skyline, what was the point of the LM Limited? The short answer was to commemorate Nissan’s return to Le Mans. Like having an ultra-successful big brother who could do no wrong, the launch of the R33 meant it had some Godzilla-sized boots to fill. But Nissan had the perfect solution in 1995 – a rejuvenated Le Mans program spurred on by both Nismo and GT-R fans. What better way to promote the new Skyline than to do something not even the R32 could boast?This specific car, 1 of the 102 V-spec examples, was personally sourced, bought and imported by our Japanese-performance-car-enthusiast vendor in 2016. As part of his collection, and having recently been SORN’d, he has used it sparingly with the indicated mileage now being 56,000 (approximately). The car is not modified (apart from obligatory large exhaust) and is all the better for it, there being some room for improvement in minor areas. GT-Rs of this era are now rightly recognised as performance icons, with rarity and originality playing a big part in demand/values – this is real opportunity for both.SpecificationMake: NISSANModel: SKYLINE R33 GT-R V-SPEC LM LIMITEDYear: 1996Chassis Number: BCNR33-022949Registration Number: GTR 99MTransmission: ManualEngine Number: RB26 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

MOT valid until 13/04/2022 A pocket rocket British Sportscar and simply amazing value for money In 2012, a group of car industry professionals decided the time was right to produce a new type of lightweight high-performance sports car - one that combined maximum driving thrills with maximum accessibility, and Zenos Cars was born. Less than two years later, Zenos showed its first car, the E10, clearly demonstrating their single-minded determination to use innovation to benefit the experience it delivers to its owners. Production began a few months afterwards shortly followed by their second model, the E10 S, providing the same engaging experience with even more performance. In November 2015, Zenos announced the pinnacle of the E10 range, the E10 R, offering further development, performance and configuration options. The example offered here is a UK-registered, 2016 E10 S Roadster with a 1999cc, 16v turbocharged, four-cylinder GDTI EcoBoost engine. Developing 250bhp@7000rpm and 295lb ft@2500rpm, Zenos claim the 725kg machine can hit 60mph from a standstill in 4.0sec and power on to a top speed of 145mph. Showing 2,287 miles and recently issued with a fresh MOT, valid until April 13th 2022, this ‘pocket rocket’ British sportscar is ready for its next owner to enjoy some serious fun this summer. At this guide price we feel this is simply amazing value for money.SpecificationMake: ZENOSModel: E10 SYear: 2016Chassis Number: SA9BRFRT6FW341069Registration Number: SN16 DLVDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 2220 Click here for more details and images
