Production began a few months afterwards shorty 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.Offered here is a 2016 Zenos E10 R, the most highly developed offering from the British manufacturer. With a dry weight of just 700kg, the 2.3-litre turbocharged mid-mounted engine with a claimed power output of 350bhp can accelerate the 'R' from 0-60 in an incredible 3.0 seconds.Standard features of the E10 R include a 6-speed manual transverse gearbox, uprated and adjustable Bilstein dampers, OZ lightweight racing wheels with Avon ZZR tyres and this particular example features full carbon seats with harnesses.The car appears virtually unused and is currently unregistered, so should the buyer of this E10 R wish to have the car road registered in the UK, an IVA test may need to be applied for as it's original approval may have lapsed. The car will require a degree of recommissioning as it has been in storage and not used for some time. The vehicle is VAT qualifying and is offered without reserve.

Lot 323
Just three owners from new and 33,000 miles.Registered to the first of just three owners on the 15/07/1997Supplied by Jack Barclay in Racing Green with Sandstone leather interiorAt launch, the Continental was hailed as the first "proper" Bentley for nearly 60 yearsThe 22 service stamps show a veritable Who's Who of main dealer and Bentley specialistsThe odometer reading is some 33,000 miles (atoc) and the car was last MOT'd in 2010This car has formed part of a large collection with little or no use. An element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once againBentley's 1980's resurgence had hitherto relied exclusively on models whose basic architecture was shared with other Rolls-Royce products but on display at Geneva in '85 was 'Project 90', a mocked-up coupé intended to gauge public response to the idea of a high-performance car unique to Bentley. When the real thing - the Bentley Continental R - was unveiled six years later, the waiting crowd burst into spontaneous applause. Styled with the assistance of consultants International Automotive Design, the Continental R benefited from computer-aided design and wind tunnel testing in the devising of its sleekly streamlined shape. Despite the need to incorporate non-traditional features such as doors recessed into the roof, the result looked every bit a Bentley, albeit one restated for the 1990s. Also new was the gearbox, a four-speed automatic with 'overdrive' top ratio, but the main focus of interest was the newcomer's performance. Needless to say, this was outstanding, the combination of the Turbo R engine in the new wind-cheating shape cutting the 0-60mph time to 6.2 seconds and boosting top speed to in excess of 150mph.There was even more to come in the form of the Continental T. Introduced in June 1996, the latter was a short-wheelbase version of the Continental R, some 4" being taken out of the chassis aft of the doors. With 400bhp at its disposal and crouching aggressively on 18" wheels, the low-slung Continental T looked every inch the thoroughbred Bentley sports car, the cockpit with its engine-turned dashboard recalling the heroic exploits of W O's 1920s racers. The engine start button was another neat 'retro' touch. Despite weighing as much as two Ford Mondeo 1.8s, the luxuriously appointed Continental T was certainly no slouch, racing to 60mph in a tyre-shredding 5.8 seconds on its way to a (governor limited) top speed of 156mph. Equally eye-watering was the price: £220,312 at time of launch.Supplied new via Jack Barclay in July 1997, this Continental T has covered only 33,000 miles from new and comes with a full service history with Jack Barclay, Nine Elms to July 2002 and then Michael Powles, Norwich to 2008. The car was last serviced by P & A Wood in September 2009 at 32,964 miles. There are 22 recorded services with fewer than 1,000 miles between many of them, indicating a fastidious approach to care and maintenance. Finished in Racing Green with Sandstone hide interior, the car comes with specification sheets listing fully veneered door cappings, sports-style steering wheel, Spruce hide piping, roof-mounted aerial and Burr Walnut centre console among the special factory-fitted options. The previous owner purchased the car at auction in 2010 and it changed hands in 2014 to the third registered keeper. It has formed a part of a large collection which included some historically significant Bentley R-Type Continentals and S-series drophead-coupes. The odometer reading is some 33,000 miles, at the time of cataloguing, and the car was last MOT'd in 2010. Although stored correctly and presenting well, the car hasn't had much in the way of maintenance or servicing and consequently is being sold as a "non-runner". We would caution any buyer to treat the car to a thorough going over upon delivery.In recent years this car has formed part of a large collection and as such has received little or no use and an element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once again.

Classic colours and showing some 14,000 miles.Initially registered on the 24/09/1997 to the first of five owners, current since 2014Supplied in the classic colours of dark blue over cream leather with a blue mohair hoodThe Bentley Azure was one of the most expensive production cars of its dayWith an odometer reading of some 14,000 miles (atoc) the car was last MOT'd in 2019This car has formed part of a large collection with little or no use. An element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once againIntroduced in 1995, the Bentley Azure was based on the platform of the Continental 'R' Coupé which had been launched originally in 1991. By definition, a fully strengthened luxury convertible to seat four adults very comfortably, accommodate their luggage and hide an engine sufficiently powerful to propel the entire ensemble towards the horizon in a linear fashion is never going to be a small car and the Azure often surprised with its substantial presence.Power came from the company's stalwart 6.75-litre V8, fed by a single inter-cooled turbocharger producing in the region of 380bhp which, when mated to a General Motors-sourced, four-speed automatic gearbox enabled this superbly designed Bentley to silently waft up to 60mph in an impressive 6.1 seconds. Owing to the limited space at Bentley's Crewe factory, the Azure was assembled and finished by Pininfarina, significantly adding to the vehicle's production costs. The selling price varied, naturally, with the specification, the options list was deliciously indulgent, but the base price was around £200,000 when new.Initially registered on the 24th September 1997 to the first of five owners, the car has been part of a large private collection since 2014 and, consequently, hasn't had much in the way of maintenance or servicing and is best described as a "non-runner". It was last MOT'd in 2019, however, we would caution any buyer to treat the car to a thorough going over upon receipt. Please note there are faults with the roof mechanism and steering rack.

Lot 325
One of just 100 examples of the S3 Flying Spur.Initially registered to the first of three owners on the 25/03/1966One of the final S-Series-derived Bentleys before the introduction of the T1Believed to be one of just 100 S3 Continental coachbuilt by H.J. MullinerShowing an odometer reading of 46,667 miles (atoc) and last MOT'd in 2009This car has formed part of a large collection with little or no use. An element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once againIntroduced in 1955, the Bentley S-Type and equivalent Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud saloons were thoroughly modern, spacious, comfortable, quiet and powerful. In production for 10 years, they were the final series-production coach-built cars from Crewe.Building on the legendary status of the ground-breaking R-Type Continental, Bentley soon announced a two-door S-Type to be available as a stunning drophead coupé by Park Ward and a desirable and sporting 'fastback' by H.J. Mulliner.These cars were fast - thanks to aluminium coachwork, a raised compression ratio and longer final drive - and once again found favour with the super-rich of the day. It took two years before the company relented to customer demand for the pace and exclusivity of the Continental combined with the practicality of four doors. H.J. Mulliner of NW London created a superb Continental saloon, subsequently titled 'Flying Spur' after the Clan Johnstone crest of Mulliner's then managing director, Harry Talbot Johnstone. The first car was on the road in May 1957 and deliveries commenced with a pair exported to the USA just two months later. Facing competition from across the Atlantic, in August 1959 Rolls-Royce announced a new, 6,230cc V8. The light alloy unit weighed the same as the outgoing 'six but produced significantly more power, perhaps as much as 25%. The new S2 Continentals - only ever fitted with automatic gearboxes - were faster and even more refined than ever. At the same time, making use of the more compact profile of the new engine, the distinctive radiator shell was lowered and slightly raked forward.The Bentley S3, introduced in October 1962, took this process of modernisation one step further. More than simply a twin-headlamp face-lift, S3s featured a raft of other changes including another 1.5in taken off the height of the radiator, which was raked further to aid visibility. All S3 engines had bigger, 2in SU carburettors and this modification, together with raised compression, gave the cars an edge in performance, particularly above 60mph. For the first time as standard, the front seats were individual, rather than a single bench.One of the last cars built, this S3 Flying Spur was initially registered on the 25 March 1966 to the first of just three UK owners and has been significantly restored in the intervening years. Showing an odometer reading of 47,050 miles, at the time of cataloguing, and last MOT'd in 2009 this car was purchased in 2014 and has formed a part of a large collection which included some historically significant Bentley R-Type Continentals and S-series drophead-coupes.

One of just 98 examples of the T-Series Coupe.Built in 1968 with coachwork by H.J. Mulliner Park Ward Ltd, LondonOne of just 98 T-Series Coupes, far rarer than the Rolls-Royce Corniche CoupeBeautifully restored and finished in black with beige leatherThe odometer currently reads 88,500 miles (atoc). Last MOT'd in 2014This car has formed part of a large collection with little or no use. An element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once againRolls-Royce's adoption of unitary construction for its new Silver Shadow and T-Series Bentley necessitated the reorganisation of in-house coachbuilder H J Mulliner, Park Ward to meet the challenge of producing new designs on the Shadow floorpan. The variety of body styles offered was limited to just two - a two-door saloon or similar drophead coupé - the former arriving in March 1966 and the latter in September the following year. Some of the frontal panels were shared with the standard four-door saloon, but otherwise, the new bodyshells were unique, featuring a distinctive dipping upper wing line with parallel crease, and revised, more rounded posterior. Despite a price some 50% greater than the standard saloon's, demand was strong right from the start, a state of affairs that resulted in the introduction of the outwardly similar Corniche in 1971. At this time, the Bentley marque's image suffered from its not being sufficiently differentiated from that of Rolls-Royce, a situation that would not be remedied until the introduction of the Mulsanne Turbo in the 1980s. The result was greatly reduced sales, making a Bentley of this period a much rarer car than the equivalent Rolls-Royce. For example between 1967 and 1971, 571 Mulliner, Park Ward-bodied Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow two-door saloons were manufactured compared to a mere 98 of the Bentley version! Today, however, the revival of the Bentley marque has seen a commensurate upsurge in demand for these rare and exclusive T-Series models.Much rarer and arguably far more handsome than the Rolls-Royce version, this beautiful Bentley T-series two-door saloon was registered on the 15th November 1968 to the first of five former keepers. It was treated to a colour change in 2003 from maroon to a more traditional black. The odometer read 88,500 miles, at the time of cataloguing, and it was last MOT'd in 2014. The car was purchased in 2014 and has formed a part of a large collection which included some historically significant Bentley R-Type Continentals and S-series Drophead-Coupes. Although stored correctly and continuing to present very well, the car hasn't had much in the way of maintenance or servicing and consequently is being sold as a "non-runner".

Well maintained and nicely presented DB6 ready to enjoy.Low ownership, matching chassis and engine number, ZF five-speed manual gearboxContinuation green logbook, cloth cover, original handbook, workshop manual, Heritage Certificate, sundry old MOTs dating back to 1974 and numerous parts receiptsOver £30,000 recently spent on mechanicals at Aston Martin Engineering DerbyUnleaded cylinder head conversion (Aston Engineering). Right-hand drive, 81,000 miles 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 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.First registered in Newcastle-upon-Tyne as 'LVK 37D' on 11th January 1966, this particular matching chassis and engine example, chassis DB6/2470/R, has clearly led an interesting life with previous owners enjoying the car for long periods of time. Details of the car's life and work carried out over the years are contained within the interesting owner's file, and we thoroughly recommend interested parties make an appointment to come along and have a look for themselves. The factory-fitted engine (number 400/2379) has had its cylinder head converted to unleaded by Aston Engineering and, during our vendor's ownership, over £30,000 has been spent on the mechanicals at Aston Martin Engineering Derby, to ensure this DB6 drives as well as it looks.One for the true DB6 enthusiast, this appealing Aston shows a highly credible 81,000 miles on its odometer and is offered for sale with continuation green logbook, cloth cover, original handbook, workshop manual, Heritage Certificate, sundry old MOTs dating back to 1974, and numerous parts receipts.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

A rare low production run Bentley in stunning order throughout.Number 130 of a total production run of 148Comprehensive history file with known ownership from day oneRREC aficionado owned and maintainedChosen as Best Example of the Model at the RREC Annual Rally at Burghley House in 2019A rare low production run Bentley in stunning order throughoutYour earliest inspection is encouraged and welcomedIntroduced in 1991, the Continental R was the first Bentley in 26 years that did not share its bodywork with a concurrent Rolls-Royce model and was inspired by the very stylish Continental R-Type of the 1950s. The elegant two-door coachwork was styled by John Heffernan and Ken Greenley, a duo whose résumé included sports cars like the Aston Martin Virage. At £175,000, however, this newcomer was one of the world's most expensive cars, although at least it was also one of the fastest. At launch, this latest Continental used the familiar 6.75-litre V8 with a big Garrett turbocharger and an intercooler in the same state of tune as in the Bentley Turbo R. Crewe still declined to provide official power outputs at the time, although it's estimated that around 325bhp was on tap, along with a huge amount of torque. Top speed was governed to 145mph, with 60mph arriving in just 6.6 seconds - all in a car weighing around 2.5 tons, on a 120-inch wheelbase and with an overall length of 17.5 feet!Five years later Bentley introduced a short-wheelbase version dubbed the Continental T that was equipped with an uprated engine developing 420 hp and an impressive 650 foot-pounds of torque available at only 2,200 rpm and it wasn't long before Bentley customers were expressing an interest in equipping the "wide-body" Continental R model with the T's more powerful engine. Shortly afterwards, the Continental R Mulliner was introduced at the 1999 Geneva Salon, its nomenclature paying homage to H.J. Mulliner, the British coachbuilder responsible for the original R-Type's breathtaking fastback bodywork. The R Mulliner's wide-body configuration offered spacious interior elegance restoring the rear legroom lost in the 'T', while the turbocharged V-8 was capable of rocketing the car to a top speed of nearly 170 mph. Individually tailored to customer order, the R Mulliner was Bentley's ultimate 20th-century combination of luxury and performance, produced in a modest quantity of as few as 148 examples.This superb example is finished in Silver Storm over Nero leather and is one of only thirteen produced in 2002 out of a total production run of just sixty-three right-hand-drive cars. Although the dealer's list price was a, not unsubstantial, £225,000 the first owner of this particular 'R' obviously did not leave too many of the boxes on the 'Options List' unticked as the final purchase price just over £242,000 in May 2002. The entire production run (1992 - 2003) amounted to just 148 in 'wide-body' configuration and our vendor's car is Number 130. In exceptional condition throughout and with a recorded mileage of just 32,338, this four owner from new and retired engineer owned Bentley is accompanied by a total and comprehensive service history including detailed invoices and every prior MOT and is offered freshly serviced and with a recently issued MOT Certificate.Our vendor is a very knowledgeable RREC and BDC supporter and although the car is regularly used, it remains beautifully presented as illustrated by being chosen as the Best Example of the Model in the 100 years of Bentley parade at the RREC Annual Rally at Burghley House in 2019.This is an opportunity to acquire one of the very best, if not the best Bentley 'Wide-body' on the road today. These desirable models are rightfully stretching their legs in the classic car market, so don't miss out before these rare sporting Bentleys arrive in six-figure territory.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveDesirable early 'Flat Floor' Roadster, just the 598th madeBuilt on the 25/09/1961 and dispatched to ArizonaMatching numbers engineRetains the early-production features including welded louvres, flat floors, and a number stamped bonnetA fabulous, very original and highly presentable Jaguar E-TypePart of a matching Roadster/Coupe pair of Cream 1961 E-TypesJust selected to be featured in the new, vastly expanded 'Original E-Type' book by Porter PressHere at Silverstone Auctions, we are delighted to offer an incredible pair of matching-number, 'time warp' survivors of the earliest E-Types, cherished in a museum together for nearly 20 years. They are for sale separately and with the E-Type's Diamond Jubilee next year, this is an appropriate time for these significant cars to become available. From a respected private collector, both these cars are, remarkably, being offered at No Reserve.In 1961, it was almost impossible to be able to actually obtain Jaguar's 'Supercar', which was so closely related to their triple Le Mans-winning D-Type racer, but with legendary comfort and practicality, offering perhaps the ultimate road car.The E-Type itself needs no introduction and it is no secret that company founder and chairman, William Lyons, desired to add a supremely elegant coupe to the original roadster in development and their combined launch literally stunned the world, at Geneva back in March 1961.For both the enthusiast and the dedicated collector, the desire to obtain the 'first of the breed' in its most original condition will always be the 'Holy Grail'. The problem with actually achieving this goal is that those first E-Types were seriously flawed. The body structure was never built with any intention to make it last and indeed many were succumbing to rust issues when just a few years old. The majority of worldwide climates did not offer the kind of conditions in which an E-Type might thrive and Jaguar themselves often cited that, with such a low purchase cost, " It was far better to simply buy the new and improved model than repairing an older model with rust issues". Consequently, there was no real desire to preserve these first models, with their cramped flat floors and dangerously poor brakes for a car capable of nearly 150 mph, which resulted in many cars suffering accident damage, some on more than one occasion.In 1961, you genuinely 'had to be a name, and a name on a list' to acquire one of these first delivery cars. As always, Jaguar's primary market was the United States and this is where almost 90% of E-Type production ended up. Even there, to source an original, first-supply suffix chassis number roadster starting '875' is incredibly difficult to find in original condition if at all - this confirming it to be a genuine 1961 built car, the ultimate vintage for any serious collector.Enter Paul Webb, a passionate collector who has specialised in dealing with E-Types since the early 1970's and recalls that in those days, he would far prefer to buy a later and more expensive Series 2, 4.2 model to sell than an early car. But Paul's passion is originality and many decades of 'wintering' in California allowed the opportunity to bring back several amazingly rust-free cars from there. He was ideally placed and in the perfect 'hunting ground' to try to find that 'Holy Grail' - a super early 1961 E-Type that retained every original panel fitted by Jaguar when delivered new, back in 1961.When collecting anything, having a matching pair is always an ideal position to strive to achieve and Paul continued to search California and neighbouring Arizona for the very best original E-Types. He could not believe his luck when, in the early 2000s, he found this 1961 Roadster finished in Cream with a Beige interior, the complete twin to his 1961 Coupé. Manufactured on 25th September 1961 - the first month an E-Type would be released to any public buyers in the UK, this car was supplied new to an R Condon in Phoenix, Arizona, as confirmed by the Jaguar Heritage build sheet, and was dispatched there on 12th October 1961. In common with his coupé, this car too retained all its original features and panels and amazingly both this car and the coupe had received just one 'outside only' refresh of colour, so the door shuts and engine bay still wore their factory-applied original paint and the bonnet still displayed its original factory stamps.Once Paul imported the roadster to join his coupé in the UK in 2004, having registered it in California first, it was decided that the dehydrated seats needed attention and once again the services of ex-Jaguar factory trimmers, respected experts Suffolk and Turley were called for. The car had previously received a new soft top and appears to have travelled just 74,414 miles from new.Our vendor first saw this matching pair back in 2004, when they were first together, but it took a further eight years before his repeated efforts to acquire them both, still as a pair, were finally rewarded with success.This lovely Cream Roadster was recently recommissioned to fully running and driving condition after decades of museum preservation, but the braking system will need some attention before returning to the roads and transporting oneself back to that late autumn of 1961 when this classic E-Type made such an impact in the US of A and began its long life in the Arizona sunshine.This is an important Jaguar that's being offered at No Reserve.

Paul could not believe his luck when, in the mid-1990s, he discovered 885249, just the 249th Fixed Head Coupe produced. Built on 30th November, supplied new to Abbey-Scherer Co, El Monte, California on 14th December 1961 and allegedly still with its first owner, having resided in the ultimate climate to amazingly preserve this Jaguar.The owner was a private pilot and had covered just 49,000 miles from new in the car. It had been laid-up off the road since 1985 with that Californian dated registration plate still fitted, various Dyno-strips of instructions in the engine bay etc and even still retained the original brake master cylinders with their correct 'dated' tags. Paul immediately snapped up the car. Literally everything was correct; the early 'small ellipse' nose remained undamaged and the correct, separate spot-welded louvre panel bonnet, displayed the original factory-stamped numbers, almost never seen these days. This was 'The Car' - perhaps the ultimate surviving original 1961 E-Type Coupe in existence.Paul later imported the car into the UK, to take pride of place within his own private museum, some twenty-three years ago, back in 1997. As is always the case, the cost of being in such kind, 'bodywork preserving' conditions in that the leather does not survive well and totally dries out in the heat. As it was so unsightly, Paul commissioned ex-Jaguar factory trimmers, respected experts Suffolk and Turley to retrim the seats in their original colour of Beige, creating a warm ambience in the closed cars, where dark colours are less suited. It then sat proudly on display for those lucky enough to see Paul's amazing private Jaguar collection.Our vendor first saw this car in the late '90s, but it took a further fourteen years before his repeated efforts to acquire the car, by then as a matching pair, were finally rewarded with success.The car was recently recommissioned to fully running and driving condition after decades of museum preservation, but the braking system will need some attention before returning to the roads and transporting oneself back to that late autumn of 1961 when this dramatic coupé first turned heads and began its long life basking in the Calfornia sunshine.This is an important Jaguar that's being offered at No Reserve.
