Registration - W203 LNHChassis No. - WBSCM92080LB29620M.O.T. - October 2025Odometer - 100,100With less than 1,000 BMW Z3M Coupes ever making it across the Channel, W203LNH is a member of an exclusive club - a UK supplied and registered example of this remarkable M3 engined coupe. Originally registered in March 2000 this example, finished in evocative Estoril Blue, is offered from long-term private ownership. The current keeper acquired the Z3M in July 2015 with the coupe having covered around 95,000 miles and following a period of approximately four years in storage. Today the electronic odometer reads 100,328 miles, underscoring its light use under its current stewardship. With a sensible 7 keepers to date and offering a valid MOT until October 2025 this charming Z3M is offered with a stamped service book and a number of well-chosen after-market modifications.The product of a skunkworks passion project the Z3M Coupe was divisively styled by renowned BMW stylist, Chris Bangle. This example exhibits all the key characteristics of Bangle’s work. These include a roofline that is deliberately reminiscent of the BMW 328 Mille Miglia from the 1940s, 507 Roadster aping chromed “gills” and stylised, oval door mirrors. The Z3M’s long wheelbase, long bonnet, wide track and short rear end helped earn it the “clown’s shoe” or “bread van” nicknames. This car’s mechanical specification is deadly serious, however. Pre-2001 cars, like this one, were recipients of the engine from the E36 M3. The S50B32 straight-six unit would rev to nearly 8,000 rpm, delivering 321bhp on the way. The standard five-speed manual gearbox and limited slip differential endowed the Z3M with a 0-60mph in the low fives. Reassuringly, the braking system was also lifted directly from the E36 M3.This rare example has enjoyed a few tweaks along the way, too. This Z3M sits on BK Racing adjustable suspension, explaining its decidedly hunkered down stance. This is augmented by H&R uprated roll bars. AP Racing, four pot callipers are fitted and act against quality Ferodo brake pads. An AC Schnitzer short shift gear linkage is present as are AC Schnitzer alloy pedals and performance exhaust system. A carbon airbox concludes the mechanical upgrades whilst a roof panel wrapped in matt black represents the aesthetic changes. In current ownership a new clutch has been fitted, engine, gearbox and differential oils have been changed and a new battery fitted.The Z3M’s exterior condition is rated as “good for its age” by the owner. Note is made, however, of a stone chipped front bumper cover and paint micro blistering to the bonnet. The "Roadstar" Style 40, 17-inch alloy wheels are thought to be original and, by the owner’s admission, could benefit from refurbishment. The cabin appears to have fared well considering age and mileage thanks to BMW’s signature fit and finish credentials. The customary BMW “black on black” treatment is given an exterior matching lift by the ample accents of blue leather and chromed instrument bezels. The interior, predominantly carried over wholesale from the Z3, is further augmented by a trio of ultra-clear VDO auxiliary gauges in the centre console. Other refinements include air conditioning, electric mirrors, windows and sunroof, central locking and alarm. A retrofitted, remote control JVC head unit feeds the original Harmon Kardon speakers. Whilst strictly a two seater, a surprisingly generous and practical 415 litre boot lurks beneath the opening rear hatch. The original BMW toolkit and obligatory first aid kit is reported to be present.Shoehorning the sublime and high revving S50B32, naturally aspirated straight six engine into the diminutive and svelte Z3 (it was a full 135 kg lighter than the E36 M3!) was as barmy as it was inspired. In many ways, however, the Z3M was ahead of its time, considerably dearer than an M3 and, hence, made in relatively tiny numbers – 6,291 to be precise and less than 1,000 in right hand drive, UK specification. Today, however, the car has been rediscovered by individualistic millennials and Gen-Xers with insurance company, Hagerty, reporting 70% of cover requests emanating from that demographic. The Z3M has come of age.In summary:Thoughtfully and subtly upgraded and improvedOffered from long-term, enthusiast ownershipMOT until October 2025 and ready to use and enjoy immediately

Registration - V8 URJChassis No. - ZAMBC38C000010481M.O.T. - September 2025Odometer - 78,218‘V8 URJ’s’ muscular Giorgetto Giugiaro designed bodywork looks fantastic in its Grigio Nuvolari livery. A true four-seater Italian thoroughbred GT, ‘V8 URJ’ is offered here in fine order and under the stewardship of its fifth owner. With 78,218 miles covered to date, ‘V8 URJ’ is a rare car being one of just 265 right hand drive models ever built. Acquired by the current keeper in September 2021 and having covered only around 3,000 miles in this ownership. It has enjoyed an oil and filter change each subsequent year during this ownership. Benefitting from a comprehensive service history and a generous accompanying archive of paperwork, ‘V8 URJ’ comes with its original tool kit, manuals and long MOT valid until September 2025.The heart of ‘V8 URJ’ is surely its F136 R V8 version of the mighty Ferrari / Maserati engine. As powerful as it is good looking, this unit was originally rated at 385 bhp at a sonorous 7,000 rpm.’V8 URJ’ comes with the purists’ choice of traditional six-speed manual gearbox and its accompanying three pedals. This combination would have originally gifted ‘V8 URJ’ a 170mph plus top speed and a 0-60mph time of under five seconds. The admired Skyhook adaptive damping system was cutting edge for 2003 and endows a 4200GT with admirable road dynamics. The sporting cabin of ‘V8 URJ’ is no less impressive and finished in cream leather with caramel coloured piping. There is plenty of Italianate detailing in here, from the elliptical clock to the embossed trident motifs on the headrests of the high backed sports seats. The rear seats are surprisingly commodious and actually useable despite the swooping coupe bodywork. The condition throughout appears excellent and commensurate with a considerate, even pampered ownership history.With the dynamic prowess of the Ferrari derived V8 howler of an engine and an impressive combination of poise and comfort afforded by the Skyhook system, the 4200GT quickly became a well respected alternative to the usual suspects of 911 or XK8. Importantly the 4200GT offers the benefit of being significantly more commodious than either for both people and luggage. A great value modern classic GT hero car, surely.In summary:Looking highly desirable thanks to accomplished styling and an appealing liveryOffering a full service history and ample accompanying paperworkA rare, Ferrari engine GT with room for four and their weekend luggage

Registration - R312 KDSChassis No. - EC5W-0023861M.O.T. - January 2025Odometer - 65,500Japanese car enthusiasts will love this rare 1997 Mitsubishi Legnum ST-R, which is being offered for auction at No Reserve. The Japanese-only estate version of the Mitsubishi Galant, this Galaxy White car was imported into the UK in early 2023 after being in storage for several years. The vendor describes the naturally-aspirated 2.5-litre V6 engine and four-speed automatic (a “state-of-the-art self-learning transmission”) as being in ‘excellent’ condition, as are the electrics and the paintwork. Notably, this car has had just one previous owner, with an odometer reading 105,000 kilometres, or around 65,000 miles. Distinctive features on the outside include 10-spoke alloy wheels and a dramatic horseshoe-shape wraparound tailgate spoiler. ‘R312KDS’ has had a new exhaust system installed, along with new dampers and an updated infotainment system. Other than this, says the vendor, it is completely standard. They say it is undersealed and has been well-maintained with a full service history. It’s currently been off the road for four months, but has an MOT valid until January 2025. Inside, the black leather interior is complemented by a walnut dashboard, which the vendor says was part of Mitsubishi’s desire for it to complete with premium rivals. The Mitsubishi Legnum was an estate version of the upscale eight-generation Mitsubishi Galant saloon. The ST-R was a non-turbo version of the range-topping VR-4, making it a more manageable and less extreme vehicle that still delivered plenty of performance thrills. Exclusive to the Japanese market, the Legnum has since found fans in other countries including the UK, and is now a desirable choice among enthusiasts. Rare Mitsubishi Legnum offered at No ReserveImported into the UK in 2023Full service history and largely in ‘excellent’ condition

Registration - PJI 6757Chassis No. - SCBZS0007HCH21188M.O.T. - March 2025Odometer - 124,000‘PJI6757’ hails from 1987, the first model year of the “S” variant. The “S” carried through many enhancements from the range topping Turbo R, to give the Mulsanne a mid-life glow-up. ‘PJI6757’ showcases these, including the alloy wheels, interior upgrades and sportier handling courtesy of stiffer suspension. ‘PJI6757’ has covered 131,226 miles to date which is moderate for a 37-year old car with what Bentley described as “unstressed” mechanicals. Offered here with NO RESERVE and a detailed and well documented provenance including 18 service stamps and original manuals and book pack. The current MOT is valid until March 2025 to allow for immediate, elegant wafting by the next owner. ‘PJI6757’ holds a category N – non-structural – insurance marker from 2018.Given the regal nature of ‘PJI6757,’ its Georgian Silver livery seems highly appropriate. Whilst ostensibly a rebadged Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit on the SZ platform, ‘PJI6757’ offers plenty of Bentley specific differentiators. First there is big, matrix meshed radiator cowl complete with “flying B” emblem. The 15-inch, “S” specific alloy wheels with big “B” inscribed centre plates also catch the eye, shod as they are with deep 70 profile tyres with subtle white-wall details. The paint and bodywork are rated “average” by the vendor with the bulk of the imperfections being located around the sills and wheel arches.‘PJI6757’ seems to have been well cared for mechanically, throughout its life. Its mechanical provenance includes a new engine at around 34,500 miles, a conversion to unleaded fuel friendly valve seats in 1991 and a new gearbox and torque converter at 80,000 miles in 1995. Two service books with a total of 18 stamps between them and lots of supporting bills and invoices also bodes well for ‘PJI6757’s’ mechanical condition.The spacious, leather clad, Oyster hued cabin seems to have lost none of its “special occasion” grandeur for which the marque is known. Just the right level of patina appears to grace the commodious and well padded seats and accompanying contrasting piping. Deep lambswool rugs are present, except for the driver’s footwell where it is noted that the carpet is worn through in places. Surely this represents an enticing opportunity to acquire an honest and delightful Bentley at a merest fraction of its original £90,000 plus cost.In summary:· An honest and original example of the enhanced Mulsanne S model· In a very regal and Bentley appropriate colourway· Complete with a generously documented service history

Registration - EU54 EWMChassis No. - WP0ZZZ99Z5S640101M.O.T. - August 2025Odometer - 131,000This appealing 996-era Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Convertible combines the 3.6-litre flat-six engine with desirable six-speed manual transmission – and is being offered at No Reserve. Being a coveted C4S, it has the wider 911 Turbo rear haunches and styling features, along with the eye-catching red reflector strip between the rear lights. Registered in September 2004, it has had just three owners, including the vendor, with the second owner keeping it for almost 15 years. Its clean appearance is enhanced by a recent professionally resprayed bumper, front wings and doors, while the grey mohair hood has been replaced – and it comes with a matching hardtop. ‘EU54EWM’ (the private plate pictured is not included in the sale) had a full engine rebuilt by Autostrasse Essex at 86,000 miles, including a new clutch, and this forms part of an extensive history file with plenty of receipts. The engine “sounds incredible” thanks to a Hayward and Scott stainless-steel exhaust with high-flow cats and K&N air filter. Recent work by Sports & Classic Porsche Centre Cheshire includes a new alternator and battery, new water pump, brake lines and rear trailing arms. It’s also recently had new Brembo brake discs and pads, and new Bilstein B6 dampers plus H&R springs. It has nearly-new Michelin PS4 tyres at the rear, and a full four-wheel geometry check. The Cinnamon and Aluminium interior is a Porsche Exclusive design, and has reconnollised leather plus an aftermarket stereo with Apple CarPlay. Overall, the vendor says it runs superbly and looks great. The Porsche 911 996 was a ground-breaking model for the German sports car firm – the first-ever water-cooled Porsche 911 since the series was introduced back in the 1960s. A brilliantly-conceived car, it was a truly modern 911 that still had the rear-engined character of the original, but with much-needed modern refinements and a big lift in everyday usability. This 2003 model is a later generation with the larger 3.6-litre engine, as opposed to the launch 3.4-litre, and it benefits from many of the ongoing reliability updates Porsche introduced through the years. Right now, the 996-era Porsche 911 is increasingly being seen as a future classic collectable, with values tipped to start increasing from here, just as they did for the early 964-generation model. Now is a great time to get onto the ladder before prices start going up again! In summary:Desirable 996-era Porsche 911 offered at No ReserveBenefits from a full engine rebuildExtensive history file includes plentiful receipts

Registration - Y6 HYOChassis No. - SAJAC63H8FMK14270M.O.T. - November 2025Odometer - 45,000This enticing Jaguar F-Type R comes to market having covered a modest and well below average 45,879 miles to date. Complete with many expensive and desirable options this hugely capable sports coupe has been used and enjoyed by eight keepers to date. Offered without reserve this highly specified F-Type shows a Category S insurance marker from January 2019 and a Category N insurance marker from May 2022. Presenting today in a condition that is described as “excellent” throughout, this example is being sold complete with its distinctive personalised registration plate, partial service history and two, original keys.The sublime Jaguar F-Type first hit the showrooms in convertible Roadster configuration with the tin-topped Coupe launching a few months later in March 2014. As such this alluring example of the range-topping F-Type R would have been one of the first examples of this exalted breed to emphatically turn the heads of passersby, being first registered in May 2014. Costing considerably over £90,000 when new, courtesy of the addition of the £7,000 carbon ceramic brake option and others to the £85,000 list price, this R represents the apex-predator atop the F-Type food chain.This example proudly exhibits all the attributes that put the R at the pinnacle of the range and that won the hearts and blew the minds of reviewers and owners alike. Chief amongst these, of course, is the 550 PS AJ-V8 Gen III 5.0 litre power unit. Equipped in this application with a Twin Vortices Series supercharger, a veritable mountain of torque is also on tap almost from tick over, to the tune of 501 Ib-ft at 2,000 rpm. Stiffer spring rates and a trick, more aggressive electrically controlled limited slip differential help this prodigious power to be effectively deployed at will.This car’s state of the art carbon ceramic brakes not only provide almost physics defying retardation but also a respectful nod to the marque’s heritage. Jaguar, after all, were the first manufacturer to use disc brakes at the Le Mans 24 Hour Race of 1953. A fitting homage, then, that Jaguar described as “the most powerfully performing braking system ever fitted to a Jaguar road car” in 2014. With 398mm discs at the front and 380mm items at the rear sitting beneath six and four pot monobloc callipers respectively, this set up starts to look good value for its original £7,000 cost. The signature vivid yellow of the big callipers contrast strikingly with the deep, pristine black of the optional 20-inch Storm alloy wheels. A staggered set of high specification Michelin Pilot Sport S tyres adorn the big wheels being date stamped from 2022 for the rears and 2024 for the fronts. The sleek, muscular aluminium and composite bodywork appears to present beautifully in its gleaming Polaris White livery.This Jaguar’s cabin is by no means the junior partner to this heady specification, either. The cosseting cabin is finished with Jet leather with double needle stitching, and Jet hued carpets and headlining. The optional suedecoth steering wheel with carbon fibre centre console finisher features here, too. The sports focussed Performance seats feature the optional 14-way electrical adjustment, memory settings and variable heating. Padded and stitched “R” emblems adorn the integral headrests, of course. Should you want to drown out the awe-inspiring soundtrack of that supercharged V8, the optional and optimum, mighty 770 watt, 12 speaker Meridian Surround Sound system is more than equal to that task. Other refinements include satellite navigation, 8-speed ZF automatic transmission with alloy, Ignis shift paddles, reversing camera, blind spot detection, sports suspension with adaptive dynamics and switchable active sports exhaust to name a few.Such was the F-Type’s advanced design that it remained in production, only having been lightly facelifted, until June of this year. Starting with the XJR racing cars of the 1980’s and first seen in road configuration in the XJR-S of 1988, the esteemed “R” suffix is reserved for only the fastest and most prestigious Jaguars. The F-Type R stands as a proud and worthy recipient of the fabled “R” suffix to this day.In summary:A range topping F-Type R offered without reserveWell below average original mileageComplete with numerous desirable options including carbon ceramic brakesFresh MOT until November 2025

Registration - G11 VOWChassis No. - SCBZS00AXLCH32946M.O.T. - August 2025Odometer - 63,000With its delightfully appropriate personalised registration number, ‘G11 VOW’ has been doing sterling service as wedding transport since January 2021. This archetypal wedding head turner is being offered with NO RESERVE and comes complete with its personalised registration plate which itself is worth several hundreds of pounds. The current keeper is ‘G11 VOW’s’ twelfth with a very sensible 63,781 miles having been covered to date. The Mulsanne S shares many enhancements with the range topping Turbo R model making ‘G11 VOW’ well equipped and appointed even by exalted Bentley standards. Complete with an advisory free MOT valid until August 2025, ‘G11 VOW’ comes with copious maintenance records back to the 1990’s.‘G11 VOW’ today presents in bright Polar White livery, updated from the original red hue in 2010. The condition appears to be very sound with the current keeper reporting no dents or dings. The quad, round headlamps and turbine style, 15-inch alloy wheels are hallmarks of the Mulsanne’s ‘S’ specification. The latter are fitted with a matching set of 70 profile Nexen tyres to help insulate brides and grooms from the dreaded potholes still further. The sublime and commodious cabin is awash with Parchment Conolly hides, deep lambswool carpets in Cherry Red and varnished burr walnut veneers. It’s a heady combination and presents nicely and conducive to ‘G11 VOW’s’ sensible mileage. Electric everything is order of the day and there is a contemporary Alpine head unit fitted – presumably playing “Chapel of Love” on repeat.‘G11 VOW’ utilises the long serving 6.75-litre, V8, L-series engine. Optimised for refinement and whaftability rather than raw power, the robust unit still endows the Bentley with an impressive turn of speed if and when needed. The Turbo R, stiffened underpinnings lend a surprising level of control, too. The current owner reports that ‘G11 VOW’ delivers a beautiful drive coupled with both elegance and poise.In summary:The more accomplished ‘S’ model complete with valuable registration numberDiligently maintained with ample supporting documentationA head turning example in a bright, wedding friendly livery

Registration - ME53 RACChassis No. - ZAMBB18C000010035M.O.T. - January 2025Odometer - 74,000This wonderful 2003 Maserati Spyder is a fantastic example of an open-top supercar with a thrilling all-Italian 4.2-litre V8 engine and F1-style paddleshift transmission. Finished in sparkling Grigio Touring Silver with black electric folding roof and full black leather interior, the paintwork is described as “stunning” and the alloy wheels “immaculate” (the tyres are excellent too, with new rear tyres last year that have covered less than 2,000 miles). The vendor says that the history file is “incredible”, with virtually all invoices and related history since new, that shows a total expenditure on maintenance of over £46,000! In the last 18 months alone, £10,000 has been spent to get the car to a high standard, with new front and rear brake discs and pads, two engine pulley bearings, a complete handbrake replacement, new battery, complete new Larini exhaust and a full service – which included a gearbox oil change. ‘ME53RAC’ also had an engine bottom end rebuild at 54,700 miles, which cost £12,600. As a result, it drives extremely well, particularly as it has been garage-stored until recently. The vendor adds the clutch is only around 45% worn, and that windows, seats, roof and heated seats all work. “The only fault we have not dealt with is a stereo that doesn’t work.” But who needs a stereo, when you have a car equipped with a V8 engine directly related to the similarly-thrilling powerplant in the Ferrari F430 and Alfa Romeo 8C? The charismatic Maserati 4200 GT and Spyder were descended from the earlier Maserati 3200 GT, which was sold between 1998 and 2002. The most exciting development came under the bonnet, with Maserati fitting a thrilling 4.2-litre V8 that produced 385bhp at a howling 7,000rpm. The F136 R V8 belonged to the Ferrari and Maserati F136 engine family, meaning it was closely related to the engine in both the Ferrari F430 and Ferrari 458 Italia. Supercar genealogy rarely comes more glittering. · 2003 Maserati 4200 Spyder with F1-style paddleshift transmission· Extensive service history shows over £46,000 of expenditure· £10k has recently been spent to get it to a high standard
