THE ROLLING STONES - 'LET IT BLEED' - ORIGINAL UK APPLE ACETATE RECORDING. Unprecedented to see original UK 8-track acetate LP recording from The Rolling Stones, this recording from 1969 a 'working title' for Let It Bleed. This acetate provides a fascinating insight into the Stones history in that it contains the tracks 'Sister Morphine' and 'Loving Cup'; these would not be commercially released until 1971 and 1972 on the albums 'Sticky Fingers' and 'Exile On Main St.' respectively. The track 'Loving Cup' is significantly different to the commercial release; the piano arrangement being the most notable which is far more decorative here than that was later released. The remainder of the tracks appear to be the same versions as to those commercially released, though the mix here is clearly not the 'final' version (some guitar sections are less prominent, the backing vocals at times further back in the mix). With printed paper Apple Custom Recording labels, the track listing as follows. Side One: Midnight Rambler, Love In Vain, Let It Bleed, Monkey Man. Side Two: Give Me Some Shelter (noting the track title was later amended to 'Gimmie Shelter'), You Got Some Silver Now (noting the track title was later amended to 'You Got The Silver'), Sister Morphine and Loving Cup. The record is in VG condition - there are some surface marks to the playing surfaces with the acetate slightly 'faded' though there is no real deterioration to the aluminium lacquer. There is a slight 'chip' on the run-in on a small section, though this is certainly not of a larger nature. The recording plays well throughout with a few small skips. The paper labels are in clean order, 'M' in white ink next to the 'R' in Rolling Stones, and a name (Lynne Westerman) in pen on the side 2 label. Surely a must-have for any dedicated Stones fan.

Lot 143

More hyped than any production car we can remember and currently unavailable in the UK, this Platinum White Circuit Pack car has covered just over 3,500 miles. When Toyota decided that they wanted their many years of success in International Rallying to continue, the initial problem was selecting a model that was going to be competitive in coming years. The regulations that govern WRC rallying dictate that your car has to be based on an existing road car, a process known as ‘homologation’, and although your rally car can deviate from the road formula in many areas, in most key ones it can’t. In the past, manufacturers were able to get around this because the regs didn’t insist on too many road-going versions, maybe 2,000 or even less, however that figure is now 25,000. Few manufacturers would even countenance building 25,000 seriously focussed rally cars and hope to find homes for them, but Toyota, always up for a challenge, did just that. Based on their successful little Yaris, and developed alongside their Gazoo Racing World Rally Team, the GR Yaris made its debut in late 2020.This technological miracle may look like a Yaris but the similarities are few and far between. The roof is carbon fibre saving 3.5kg, the door skins, bonnet and tailgate are aluminium, removing another 24kg and the front half of the chassis is Yaris but the rear is adapted from the Corolla and CH-R. It has the Yaris’ 2,560mm wheelbase, its light clusters, door mirrors and roof fin but that’s about it. Under the bonnet is the world’s most powerful production three-cylinder engine, a 1.6-litre with 257bhp and 266lb/ft. It features a unique block, bespoke pistons and a single-scroll, ball-bearing turbo to reduce weight with the engine itself being hydraulically mounted on one side to reduce vibration and unwanted movement. All cars were fitted with a 6-speed manual gearbox and a remarkably light, four-wheel drive system with an aluminium central transfer case and Sport and Track Modes. At the rear, there’s an electronically-controlled clutch pack to divide torque between the wheels.When new, the GR Yaris was available with a Convenience Pack or, as here, the Circuit Pack (£3,500) designed for drivers who want the ultimate in handling response and precision. This option included lightweight 18'' BBS forged alloys, retuned suspension, mechanical front and rear Torsen diffs, red brake calipers and Michelin Pilot 4S tyres.Finished in Platinum White Pearl and fitted from new with the Circuit Pack option, this is a UK-supplied GR that’s being offered from its first owner, Iconic Auctioneers Chairman, Nick Whale. With decades of competition experience and much success both on the circuit and in European rallying in a huge variety of cars, Nick's judgement is pretty sound on a car's qualities and, in his opinion, the little GR Yaris is one of the most exciting, adrenaline-generating, addictive performance saloons he's ever driven.Just 3,500 miles were showing on the odometer at the time of cataloguing, and the car is in the sort of condition that you might expect considering its tiny mileage and fastidious ownership. Original panels, original paint and essentially unmarked. Being offered at a very sensible and tempting guide price, this is a true modern-day ‘homologation special’, yet effortless everyday transport and currently, undoubtedly 'super cool'.Specification Make: TOYOTA Model: GR YARIS Year: 2022 Chassis Number: JTDAF4E330A021187 Registration Number: RE72WRO Transmission: Manual Engine Number: G160032431 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

Lot 151

One of only 80 right-hand drive examples of these contemporary classic Jaguars with just 488 miles from new. In 2012, nearly 40 years after the E-Type's demise, Jaguar finally got around to announcing the long-awaited and much-rumoured F-Type, which would turn out to be a more worthy spiritual successor to its illustrious forbearer than either the preceding XK8 or, before that, the XJS. A front-engined, rear-wheel-drive two-seater, the F-Type is built on an aluminium chassis, cleverly configured to minimise the transmission of noise and vibration to the passenger compartment, while its suspension is the supercar-standard arrangement of double wishbones all round, with adaptive dampers and adjustable settings. Multiple driving modes cater for different road conditions and driving styles.Unlike the E-Type, the F-Type was available with a wide variety of different power plants, ranging from a turbocharged 2-litre four via a 3-litre turbo V6 to a supercharged 5.0-litre V8. A ZF 8-speed paddle-shift semi-automatic transmission was standard on all models at first, with a 6-speed manual available later on the V6. The F-Type debuted at the Paris Motor Sow in September 2012 in convertible form, with the fixed-head coupé following in 2014. Nowadays it is de rigeur for car stylists to reference past models in their latest creations, and to some observers, the coupé's rear recalled that of one of the rarest of E-Types: the low-drag factory racer.To cater for the sports car market's seemingly insatiable appetite for limited edition models, Jaguar launched the 400 Sport – produced for just one year – and Project 7, which would be built in a run of only 250 cars. Project 7 had first seen the light of day as a single-seater concept car shown at Goodwood, and so favourable was the reception that it was decided to press ahead with making a more practical two-seater production version. They soon sold out, with 80 assigned to customers in the UK. The 'Project 7' designation referenced Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins, while the 'Aero Haunch' behind the driver's head was an obvious nod towards the D-Type sports-racer responsible for three of those victories.An aggressive-looking shallow-screen 'barchetta', Project 7 has all-aluminium bodywork and is powered by the 5-litre supercharged V8, up-rated to produce 567bhp, 25bhp more than in the F-Type R. Coupled with a 45kg weight reduction, this makes Project 7 the fastest accelerating F-Type yet, with a 0-60mph (0-97km/h) time of 3.8 seconds. Like many of the current crop of supercars, Project 7 is electronically limited to a top speed of 186mph (300kph). With the exhaust butterflies open (there's a special console switch), the car emits a superb growl-bark that turns into a magnificent crackle on the overrun. It's the one thing that makes you want to slow down.The 'top-end running gear' includes the 8-speed paddle-shift auto 'box; electronic differential; carbon ceramic brakes; specially tuned suspension; and unique settings for engine management and chassis stability control. SVO engineers also rebalanced and improved the car's rear-biased aerodynamic downforce by fitting side skirts and a large front splitter, while slightly reducing the effectiveness (and drag) of the boot lid wing. The result of Project 7's unique set of characteristics is a track-focused car capable of satisfying even the quickest of drivers.Supplied new by Stratstone of Mayfair, the fabulous Project 7 on offer here was first registered on 1st March 2016 as PRO7 JUR and is finished in the rather striking, special order hue of Metallic Goodwood Blue with a triple white stripe across the nose. It sits on a set 20" Storm Black Diamond Turned Alloys in front of bright yellow calipers and the paintwork has been treated to full PPF. The car was optioned from new with Project 7 Illuminated Tread Plates and was supplied with a bespoke car cover, two keys and an immobiliser which is currently not connected. It's fitted with the 'Jaguar Project 7 - 1 of 250' plaque and is accompanied by the rather lavish Dealer Book Pack containing its Certificate of Authenticity.Our vendor is currently the car's second owner, it has covered just 488 miles and, as you can imagine, its condition is simply spectacular. We invite and encourage you to come along to our sale and inspect this impressive piece of Modern Jaguar History. SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: F-TYPE PROJECT 7Year: 2016Chassis Number: SAJAC704XGMK28227Registration Number: PRO7 JURTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 15052446261508PSDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 488 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Lot 166

This stunning R-Type was bodied in Aluminium by E.D. Abbott of Farnham in 'Continental' style. Only a handful were created, and offer fabulous styling for a fraction of the cost of the celebrated Fastback Continental. In June 1952, Bentley’s new R-Type was presented to the public and it owed its name to the fact that the VI Series had, by this time, reached the chassis letter 'R'. The new model continued to utilise the MkVI’s independent front suspension, hydraulic front brakes and six-cylinder 'F-head' power unit, by now extended to 4,566cc. The standard R-Type was a lively performer, achieving 106mph in silence and reached 50mph from standstill in ten seconds, despite a curb weight approaching two tonnes.As usual, the R-Type could be ordered in chassis form for bodying by specialist coachbuilders, and this manual transmission example was the work of E.D. Abbott of Farnham, Surrey. The stylish, streamlined, Continental-style fastback coupé coachwork, designed by Abbott's stylist, Peter Woodgate, had been intended for the superseded MkVI chassis and bore more than a passing resemblance to H J Mulliner's contemporary Bentley Continental. After two prototypes had been completed, Abbott bodied 14 'production' cars, this example being the first. Of the remaining 13, one was fitted with automatic transmission and one was built with left-hand drive.We understand that this example was sold new to The Earl of Sefton, bodied in Aluminium and presented as a two-door ‘Continental’ style coupé in Ascot Grey.OYE 700 is accompanied by a fascinating history file which contains a list of previous owners, confirming that the car’s first owner was indeed the Rt. Hon. Earl of Sefton at Croxteth Hall. In 1968 it became the property of Richard Clover from Worcester and, ten years later, it was registered to the Midland Record Company (Peter John Riley). Jeremy Pemberton of Yellowhammer PLC acquired the Bentley in 1990 before selling it in 2004 to specialists dealers Frank Dale and Stepsons who, according to invoices in the file, carried out quite a lot of work on the car. A Michael Percival is listed as owning the car in 2004 with Eric Adkins in 2005, prior to Mr and Mrs Silverstone, also in 2005. The famous car-collecting dentist, Dr James Hull, added it to his Collection in late 2009 and, naturally, it moved to a previous vendor’s significant Collection around 2012 when Dr Hull sold everything.There are a number of older invoices with the car and it appears that by 1985, whilst in Peter Riley’s custodianship, the Bentley was looking a little sad. A.B.Price, Automobile Engineers of Studley provided an 'estimate' dated 4th February 1985 for 'totally stripping coachwork, rebuilding corroded and damaged panelwork, re-cellulosing the car, replacing wood frame in body structure, completely refitting the interior woodwork and reassembling all fittings etc'. The estimate totalled £14,338. Invoices over the next 18 months totalled over £20,000 from A.B.Price and detail the work completed. Later invoices over the years from Frank Dale & Stepsons and Hillier Hill detail subsequent maintenance and repairs, with the most recent one dated 8th October 2011, recording the odometer reading of 50,572 miles.The history file also contains a number of old V5s, a dozen older MOTs, lots of correspondence, the original ‘buff’ logbook, its R-Type Bentley Handbook, an article by Bill Medcalf entitled 'R-Type Continentals' and a booklet titled ‘Twenty Years of Crewe Bentleys’. There is also a letter from Bentley confirming that, should the opportunity arise, they would be delighted to display OYE 700 at the factory as part of 'The Bentley Experience'.OYE 700 is currently owned by a private Collector who has recently spent over £1,200 with DA Cooper in Sussex on some mechanical work to ensure the car is in splendid shape for the next owner.This was the first of the Abbotts of Farnham aluminium-bodied cars, and one can only imagine the sort of attention the 'swoopy' Continental bodywork would have generated back in 1954, matched only by the sort of admiration it would garner in 2023. This car is effectively the same as a manual Mulliner R-Type Continental, but at a fraction of the price, and rarer. Both cars are alloy-bodied and drive identically.We encourage you to view this remarkable piece of automotive art in the metal and to appreciate the sheer quality on offer.Specification Make: BENTLEY Model: R-TYPE COUPE BY ABBOTT Year: 1954 Chassis Number: B393SP Registration Number: OYE 700 Transmission: Manual Engine Number: B446S Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 51171 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

Lot 189

Perhaps the defining British modern-classic, MG's supercar - rare, bespoke and capable; here with just 10,000 miles, a manual gearbox and in collector-quality condition. In 2001, the MG ‘XPower’ brand was created by MG Rover for their motorsport subsidiary, MG Sport & Racing Ltd. Soon after, the road-going MG SV supercar was planned as an indulgent 'halo' model, intended to give a further resurgence to the MG brand post-BMW, under the subsidiary and marketed using the fledging XPower brand. They were to be made available through a network of specialist XPower dealerships, or directly from the MG Sport & Racing factory. To get the project moving, MG bought out Italian manufacturer, Qvale, and planned to use its Mangusta - complete with trick chassis and Ford-sourced V8 - as the basis for a proper sports car.The XPower SV’s aggressive design was penned by Peter Stevens - the man responsible for the McLaren F1 - and there’s no denying it looks quite unlike anything that’s come before or since, seemingly combining tuner, exotic and muscle car elements into one package. It was built on a lightweight steel chassis (which had integral roll over bar protection, built to FIA standards) and was clothed in a carbon fibre body, made up from over 3,000 separate pieces. This was formed and cut to size in the UK before being shipped to Italy, where each part was laid in moulds before being 'cooked' to form the rigid sections that were then attached together to form the complete body.The extremely rigid steel box frame chassis, made in Italy, was fully built up before the body was attached, then the mechanically complete cars were finished in the UK. The engine utilised was a Ford 4.6-litre V8 (with twin cams per bank and four valves per cylinder) delivering 320bhp in base SV format, whilst the more potent SV-R model gained a Roush-tuned 'cammer' 5-litre V8 upping the output to an official 385bhp - though it allegedly produced closer to 410bhp. The SV-R could be specified with an automatic or manual 5-speed Tremec gearbox, helping to propel the latter from 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds, and with a top speed of 175mph.The consensus is that a total of just 82 cars were completed, of which 42 were the more powerful SV-R. Customers including Rowan Atkinson were keen to experience this MG supercar before the company entered administration on 12th April 2005.The car presented here is a 2004 MG XPower SV-R, Chassis #154 (first registered November 2004), with the more desirable manual gearbox and with only 10,669 miles covered from new. Its condition is wholly commensurate with that low-mileage and belies its 19 years. Ordered in Starlight Silver with contrasting black side vents, a black leather interior (including seats and steering wheel), electric seat height adjustment, electric windows, dual-action 4-belt, 3-point safety harness, SV-R 18" OZ split-rim alloy wheels and upgraded brakes, a specification it still retains today.#154 was initially utilised as a demonstrator for MG Sport & Racing's specially appointed XPower dealership, Phoenix Preston, to whom it was registered. As we understand it through the MG SV database, the car’s ownership remained with MG Sport & Racing Ltd., and it was returned from Preston when the wider business entered administration in April 2005. Indeed, the car still wears its MG Sport & Racing Ltd. number plates with pride! The car’s additional two keepers were associated with MG Rover, as it was serviced twice by them early on in its life.Since then, it has been fully serviced by Luffields, the official SV service agents, and more recently readied for sale by marque specialists, Retro Sports Cars Ltd. of Huddersfield. On offer from a small private Collection, this car has been diligently kept and used infrequently by our vendor since 2014. A never-to-be-repeated type of car from a bygone British carmaker - rare, exotic and a best-of-breed example - all the components for securing future status.Specification Make: MG Model: XPOWER SV-R Year: 2004 Chassis Number: SA9SVGCC5M130154 Registration Number: BX54 AUL Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 88207838 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 10670 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black leather Click here for more details and images

Handsome T2, extensively restored in the past and on offer at No Reserve. Outwardly distinguishable from the Silver Shadow only by virtue of its different radiator and winged 'B' mascot, the T-Series Bentley was introduced alongside its Rolls-Royce sibling in 1965. Mechanically identical, the duo represented a complete break from tradition, being the first of the Crewe factory's models to employ unitary construction. Originally of 6,230cc, the pushrod V8 engine grew to 6,750cc in 1970 and provided identical power in either application. Introduced in 1977 alongside the Shadow II, the T2 gained split-level air-conditioning, rack and pinion steering, revised dashboard and a chin spoiler. Bentley was seen as very much the 'junior' marque at this time - its resurgence in the form of the Mulsanne Turbo was still some five years away - and sold in correspondingly limited numbers. By the time production ceased in 1980, only 568 Bentley T2s had found customers compared with over 10,500 Rolls-Royce Shadow IIs, and today this arguably more handsome car is increasingly sought after.Dating from 1978, this attractive example is finished in Caribbean Blue, a summer-fresh colour that somehow reflects the more lighthearted, sporting nature of the Bentley compared to its more serious R-R sibling in darker, diplomatic colours. The T2's interior is unusual in that, whilst the majority of the car is classically trimmed in dark blue leather, the rear seat was specified in Velour of a similar hue which apparently was preferred by the first owner's wife as it offered a bit more 'grip' when she was in the back seat and he was driving the car with some alacrity.The car presents well which is not surprising considering that it was extensively restored, including a bare-metal respray, during 2017/18 by NRT Motors with receipts on file to the value of £38,904. The paintwork remains in generally very good condition with a tiny amount of surface rust on the A-pillar and scuttle which would benefit from some attention, but otherwise we understand that it runs and drives without fault.It's on offer from a prominent UK Bentley Collection having been a stablemate to no less than three ex-works vintage Bentleys, and appears to have always been well-maintained, with the most recent service in May 2021 (£1,445) and only a few miles since. It's accompanied by an extensive history file which contains a photographic record of the restoration, MOTs, registration documents and the usual manuals etc.T2 Bentleys and Shadow IIs from the late 1970s offer a really good balance between top of the range luxury, manageable proportions and nimble handling compared to the 'ocean liners' that followed in the 1980s, and this good looking T2, very sensibly guided and on offer at No Reserve, is worthy of your consideration.Specification Make: BENTLEY Model: T2 Year: 1978 Chassis Number: SBH33098 Registration Number: XNG480S Transmission: auto Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 53516 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Blue leather front, blue cloth rearClick here for more details and images

Lot 223

Part of the Cheshire Collection, supplied new by Ralliart UK to the first owner who covered less than 27,000 miles during his 23-year ownership. The Cheshire Collection is a carefully curated ensemble of modern classics that represent our vendor's enthusiasm, and are all offered on a No Reserve basis to make way for new additions to their respective collections. For nearly a decade, they have been a welcome sight at our auctions, and whilst we have appreciated their energetic bidding, we have valued their chats, enthusiast to enthusiast, just as much. Each car is special, whether it's the vastly improved 1973 Ford Escort, the last production Sierra RS Cosworth showing less than 22,000 miles, the fabulous 12,000km 'Group N' Escort Cosworth, the well-maintained Clio V6, the one-owner, low-mileage Evo VI GSR to, perhaps, the best 2005 Honda Civic Type R on the market.It wasn't until the launch of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI (more commonly referred to as the Evo VI GSR) that the Japanese firm entered the consciousness of a wider spectrum of rally enthusiasts. The first Evo to be officially available in the UK, the Mitsubishi Evo VI was launched in January 1999. From May 1999, UK cars were imported by Mitsubishi Motors and prepared by Ralliart UK (a new company offering closer ties with the UK importer that saw the opening of a small number of Ralliart dealers; even cars sold through Ralliart UK were still subject to Single Vehicle Approval (SVA), which was carried out on behalf of customers). Most came as GSR-spec, but a cheaper RSX model was also launched to combat the draw of Subaru’s keenly-priced Impreza rival. The 'standard' Evo VI GSR stole enthusiasts' hearts from the get-go, its 2-litre turbocharged engine produced 276bhp (although it’s accepted that it was closer to 300bhp), and 275lb/ft. Fed through all four wheels via a 5-speed gearbox, it made the 1,360kg car fast and exciting. The key was its generous cooling.Not only did the Evo VI have a bigger intercooler, oil cooler and radiator than the Evo V, but it also had enlarged ducts in the front bumper, made possible by locating the number plate to the side. That told anyone also considering a Subaru Impreza WRX that the Evo VI was 'serious'. It certainly was, now fitted with a new ECU and permanent four-wheel drive with Active Yaw Control (AYC) that gave physics-defying handling by minimising oversteer and understeer, and a practical four-door body, the Evo immediately gave Subaru a bloody nose. It also helped it crack 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds and head on to 150mph (rather than the 112mph limited top speed of many Japanese imported models). Its body was stiffened with 130 additional spot welds and thicker gauge steel. The front suspension was improved with stronger, forged front knuckles the rear with forged aluminium to reduce unsprung weight.With a price tag of £30,995 when it officially went on sale in the UK, the Evo VI proved a performance bargain. In addition to its WRC-inspired mechanicals, it had showroom-friendly features such as climate control, Recaro sports seats and electric windows and mirrors. The Evo VI's candle burned brightly for a mere two years before being replaced in March 2001 by the Evo VII. For many, the Evo VI remains the pinnacle of Mitsubishi Evo design for its style, aggression and usability.The car presented here is a 1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR, car #149 (denoted by its service booklet and gearstick plaque) supplied to the UK-market via Ralliart UK. Finished in Ichelle Blue it was sold via Mitsubishi Motors Reading on 25th March 1999 (to our then vendor), who applied the registration S666 EVO to it, which is generously included in the sale. The car is today still in factory-standard condition, having covered just 26,724 (verifiable) miles (at time of cataloguing) with early Mitsubishi service history (followed by trusted local independents), accompanied by its original Ralliart service booklet and Mitsubishi sales invoice. Our vendor was an early advocate of the abilities of the Evo VI and was invited, with other customers, by Mitsubishi on a specially chartered flight to Rotterdam to inspect and drive their respective cars. The cars were then brought into the UK, fettled by Ralliart and given to owners via the specialist dealerships.Sold by us in 2022 from a vendor who had owned and enjoyed this car ever since, ensuring it has always been garaged and well-maintained. After being garaged and not used (but regularly run-up) for a number of years, it benefitted from £1,700-worth of recommissioning work in June 2021, including an engine flush, a full oil/fluid and filters service, a new battery, new timing/auxiliary belts, a new v/belt tensioner, new spark plugs, and new brake hoses.Specification Make: MITSUBISHI Model: LANCER EVOLUTION VI Year: 1999 Chassis Number: CP9A1012568 Registration Number: S666EVO Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 4G63-YT0350 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 26926 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black/BlueClick here for more details and images

Lot 224

Part of the Cheshire Collection, an award winning seven-year restoration, celebrated in print for its cosmetic authenticity and modern performance due to its 2-litre Zetec engine. A unique car, extensively exhibited and known as the 2000E. The Cheshire Collection is a carefully curated ensemble of modern classics that represent our vendor's enthusiasm, and are all offered on a No Reserve basis to make way for new additions to their respective collections. For nearly a decade, they have been a welcome sight at our auctions, and whilst we have appreciated their energetic bidding, we have valued their chats, enthusiast to enthusiast, just as much. Each car is special, whether it's the vastly improved 1973 Ford Escort, the last production Sierra RS Cosworth showing more than 21,000 miles, the fabulous 12,000km 'Group N' Escort Cosworth, the well-maintained Clio V6, the one-owner, low-mileage Evo VI GSR to, perhaps, the best 2005 Honda Civic Type R on the market.This highly celebrated car started out as an Escort 1300E on 18th December 1973 and according to the September issue of Classic Ford Magazine in 2016, where the car was glowingly reviewed, it took nearly a decade of patience, hard work and skill to get to what we see today. Not just rebuilt to be shown at the UK’s finest classic shows, Mr Penney, the owner, wanted the best combination of classic and modern. Details of the restoration are extensive, as are the sourcing of NOS parts, from critical components such as panels to the often overlooked trim. 'Detail and Finish' were the guiding principals throughout the process.New panels were fitted as required including the rear quarters, inner and outer sills, front and rear panel, slam panel, turrets, full length inner wing tops, door skins, front floor pans with the addition of strut-top strengthening plates. Other new parts included the windscreen, drop glasses, dash switches, boot trim and hockey sticks, front indicator lenses, rear light lenses, front quarter and rear bumpers with re-chromed door handles and rear light surrounds. Finished in Stardust Silver (Sikkens Autowave Waterbase and Crystal Lacquer), new roof vinyl and a fully rebuilt Britax Weathershield sunroof.The 2-litre Zetec (Silvertop) had covered 6,000 miles and was treated to new rings, a skimmed head, new head gasket and new valve seats before fitting with standard cams all painted in Satin Plastikote , 'BDA-style' rocker cover, new Weber 45s with braided fuel lines, Omex ECU, new painted copper radiator, Kenlowe fan, full 2.5" stainless exhaust including a 4-2-1 manifold. A 'Type 9' gearbox with Quaife shift was fitted with a fully rebuilt 3.77 English diff within a powder-coated rear axle, new front and half-shaft bearings, Bilstein adjustable coil-over front struts, with the front suspension powder-coated throughout. Bias box fed in braided hose to new M16 calipers, Mintex pads and vented discs. New rear dampers, powder-coated multi leaves with lowering blocks and new poly-bushes throughout. New banded Lotus 5.5J wheels and chrome centre caps with Falken 185/60/13sThe interior was treated to new RS 'Scheel'-specification Beta cloth interior, fully stripped, re-veneered dash and cappings, new door cards and footwell panels. New black Moonstone headlining and sunroof lining, original rear quarter panels and a new rear parcel shelf were also fitted. Once completed, it took part at the 2015 Classic Ford Show 'Great Unveiling' at Santa Pod, was a 2015 Classic Motor Show Meguiars Showcase Finalist at the NEC, was the 2016 Classic Ford of the Year Nominee sponsored by Classic Ford Magazine, won the 2017 Best Modified section of the Wonderland Sports & Classic Car Show, Hoveringham, was invited to participate at the 2018 London Classic Car Show Grand Avenue parade and won the 2018 Manchester Classic Car Show Best Trailered award.We like unique cars and very few award-winning examples are available at this estimate, not least with a conversion to modern running gear that has gained the approval of so many.Specification Make: FORD Model: ESCORT 1ST GEN Year: 1973 Chassis Number: BBATNK41838 Registration Number: TMX913M Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 96000 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Lot 225

Part of the Cheshire Collection since 2014 and boasting the unique attributes of a road registered Anglo-German rally car with just over 12,000km from new. The Cheshire Collection is a carefully curated ensemble of modern classics that represent our vendor's enthusiasm, and are all offered on a No Reserve basis to make way for new additions to their respective collections. For nearly a decade, they have been a welcome sight at our auctions, and whilst we have appreciated their energetic bidding, we have valued their chats, enthusiast to enthusiast, just as much. Each car is special, whether it's the vastly improved 1973 Ford Escort, the last production Sierra RS Cosworth showing more than 21,000 miles, the fabulous 12,000km 'Group N' Escort Cosworth, the well-maintained Clio V6, the one-owner, low-mileage Evo VI GSR to, perhaps, the best 2005 Honda Civic Type R on the market.Stuart Turner of Ford was the leading light in pushing through the Ford Escort Rally program in the 1990s. Previously, the Sierra Cosworth had maintained a competitive presence in world rallying but a new genre of rally cars was emerging. The brief now called for a smaller, lighter car to challenge the rapidly emerging cars from Japan. Indeed, Turner had cited that nearly a third of all cars entered in a previous national rally were Japanese in order to encourage the Ford decision-makers in Detroit to 'sign off' the Escort Cosworth rally program. They still took some robust persuading, as the production model was only available in front wheel drive, and the RS Escort was going to be far removed from the production item destined for the 'masses'. Worse still, production would have to be outsourced to Karmann, Germany. Two major considerations swayed Ford's decision to go ahead, firstly the new Escort was being labeled 'rather bland' by the press and needed a 'halo/hero car' and secondly the drivetrain for the new rally car was the well-proven, world-beater system from the Sierra Cosworth. Turner's plan had been to produce a 'pizza' rally car; Sierra Cosworth base with an Escort body-shell topping. A prototype was entered in a somewhat obscure rally in Spain, it won, and Ford's Marketing machine quickly seized the opportunity with an advertising campaign that meant they could only continue wholesale with the program, spawning the mantra, 'Everything we do is driven by you'. On its WRC debut 1993 Monte Carlo Rally, the RS Escorts of Miki Biasion and Francois Delacour led until the final stages. It was a success and provided Ford with ten WRC victories from 1993 - 1997 for Miki Biasion, Francois Delacour, Franco Cunico, Tommi Mäkinen and Carlos Sainz.Joining the Cheshire Collection when purchased from us in 2014 is this Ford Escort Cosworth 'Group N' Rally Car, built by R&M Motorsport in Frankfurt from a trimmed, LHD 909 Bodyshell in March 1995. It was brought into the UK and used by Neil Thompson of Performance Parts in Luton under the guise of its German number plate. In 1997, it was sold to its previous keeper and registered in the UK on a 'Q' plate and used in a Rally Sprint and RSOC shows. Purchased by our previous owner in 2011 and recommissioned for stage rallying with upgrades that then included; new fuel lines, installation of an FIA fuel drain, FIA-approved Motordrive fibreglass seats and FIA belts (which are currently out of date) replaced cambelt, current-spec restrictor to the turbo fitted, and professionally set up to suit by Dave Griffiths of InterPro producing 297bhp and 317ft/lb at the time.Used as a show car, it competed in the 2011 Regency Stages Tarmacadam Rally. Specification includes; Hemmerle matter cage, anti-lag, water-injection, 4:4 diff, LSD front and rear, 'Group N' sport gearbox, bonnet lamp pod, Kevlar guards, homologated 'Group N' alloys with Pirelli P Zero road tyres, OZ 'Group A' alloys with Dunlop C03 Slicks, Morette headlight conversion, small spares package. Presented with former Ford Motorsport 'Group N' Rally Preparation Manual and FIA 'Group N' homologation papers. Also included are previous event paperwork including some from the 1998 Rallye de la Boucles de la Semois that the car completed.This car is a proper time-warp 'Group N' specification car with some 12,100km from new at the time of cataloguing. Presented to auction recommissioned for the road and sporting new livery, ready for the next show.Specification Make: FORD Model: ESCORT RS COSWORTH Year: 1997 Chassis Number: SABTVR03657017527 Registration Number: Q981RNV Transmission: Manual Engine Number: OT5077 Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 12100 KM Make: LHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Part of the Cheshire Collection, one of 256 Phase 1 cars supplied to the UK market and just two registered keepers, who were neighbours. The Cheshire Collection is a carefully curated ensemble of modern classics that represent our vendor's enthusiasm, and are all offered on a No Reserve basis to make way for new additions to their respective collections. For nearly a decade, they have been a welcome sight at our auctions, and whilst we have appreciated their energetic bidding, we have valued their chats, enthusiast to enthusiast, just as much. Each car is special, whether it's the vastly improved 1973 Ford Escort, the last production Sierra RS Cosworth showing more than 21,000 miles, the fabulous 12,000km 'Group N' Escort Cosworth, the well-maintained Clio V6, the one-owner, low-mileage Evo VI GSR to, perhaps, the best 2005 Honda Civic Type R on the market.A spin-off from the 'Clio Trophy' race series and first previewed at the Paris Motor Show in 1998, the Clio V6 230 was in many ways the spiritual successor to the mid-engined 5-Turbo. Launched in 2001, the wide-hipped, mid-engined ‘baby supercar' was broadly based on the Clio Mk II but the V6 variant actually shared very little with its standard counterpart. Where the rear seats would normally be nestled a tweaked version of the proven and unstressed 3-litre, 24v, V6 unit from the Laguna saloon offering access to 227bhp (230PS) fed to the rear wheels and enabling 0-60 in 6.2 seconds and 146mph, not for the faint-hearted in such a diminutive 'rocket ship'. The Phase 1 cars were assembled by hand at the Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) workshops in Uddevalla in Sweden, using parts shipped from France, producing just 1,513 examples between 2001 and 2003.This right-hand drive UK-supplied 2002 Phase 1 Clio V6 is finished in sparkling Iceberg Silver with a Charcoal half-leather and Alcantara interior and was registered to the first of just two keepers on the 15th July 2002. Stored in a 'Carcoon' in a heated garage the car formed part of a collection and having admired his mature enthusiast neighbour’s car for many years, the second recorded keeper bought the car directly from him and lightly recommissioned it, thereafter driving it only on sunny days. Recently serviced with a brake system overhaul, the car will be presented to auction with a fresh MOT, handbooks and service book. The Clio's condition shows the care bestowed on it from new, the odometer reading 42,568 miles at the time of cataloguing.Offered at No Reserve and estimated keenly, this modern classic represents a great opportunity to join the rarefied world of low-production UK, rear-engine motoring.Specification Make: RENAULT Model: CLIO V6 Year: 2002 Chassis Number: VF1C61A0625482305 Registration Number: FX02WWL Transmission: Manual Engine Number: F118588 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 42568 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Part of the Cheshire Collection and perhaps the finest example available with just 17,000 miles supported by the Honda service history from new. The Cheshire Collection is a carefully curated ensemble of modern classics that represent our vendor's enthusiasm, and are all offered on a No Reserve basis to make way for new additions to their respective collections. For nearly a decade, they have been a welcome sight at our auctions, and whilst we have appreciated their energetic bidding, we have valued their chats, enthusiast to enthusiast, just as much. Each car is special, whether it's the vastly improved 1973 Ford Escort, the last production Sierra RS Cosworth showing more than 21,000 miles, the fabulous 12,000km 'Group N' Escort Cosworth, the well-maintained Clio V6, the one-owner, low-mileage Evo VI GSR to, perhaps, the best 2005 Honda Civic Type R on the market.Developed and produced by Honda since September 1997, the first Civic Type R was the third model to receive Honda's Type R badge, after the NSX and Integra. Type R versions of the Civic typically feature a lightened and stiffened body, specially tuned engine, upgraded brakes and chassis, and are offered with 5-or 6-speed manual transmission. Like other Type R models, red is used in the background of the Honda badge to give it a special sporting distinction and to separate it from other models.In 2001, Honda introduced the next generation of the Civic Type R as a 3-door hatchback, unique to the UK market and known as the EP3. Manufactured in Swindon, this European Domestic Market Civic Type R featured a 197bhp, 2-litre VTEC engine (K20A2) and the regular Type R treatment of seam-welding, a close-ratio 6-speed transmission and upgraded brakes. It was first registered on 1st March 2005 and has returned to Honda main agents a total of 14 times for servicing as evidenced by the service book and recent invoices. It has covered just less than 17,500 miles and is presented to auction in a commensurate condition.Offered at No Reserve and keenly estimated, this motorcar represents a fantastic opportunity to buy one of the finest examples on the market and an ideal 'first classic', albeit a rather swift modern one!Specification Make: HONDA Model: CIVIC TYPE R Year: 2005 Chassis Number: SHHEP33505U202236 Registration Number: NL05SUX Transmission: Manual Engine Number: K20A25002154 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 17500 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Lot 228

Part of the Cheshire Collection since 2015, less than 22,000 miles and confirmed by Ford as the last right-hand drive Sierra Cosworth to leave the production line. Very special. The Cheshire Collection is a carefully curated ensemble of modern classics that represent our vendor's enthusiasm, and are all offered on a No Reserve basis to make way for new additions to their respective collections. For nearly a decade, they have been a welcome sight at our auctions, and whilst we have appreciated their energetic bidding, we have valued their chats, enthusiast to enthusiast, just as much. Each car is special, whether it's the vastly improved 1973 Ford Escort, the last production Sierra RS Cosworth showing less than 22,000 miles, the fabulous 12,000km 'Group N' Escort Cosworth, the well-maintained Clio V6, the one-owner, low-mileage Evo VI GSR to, perhaps, the best 2005 Honda Civic Type R on the market.The original Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was the first Ford to wear the Cosworth badge and was introduced at the 1985 Geneva Motor Show as a means of homologating the Sierra for 'Group A' Touring Car racing. These regulations dictated that a minimum of 5,000 were built and sold, and eventually Ford complied, with 5,545 finding homes. Based on the three-door Sierra body shell, it was designed by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) and was powered by a Cosworth-designed 2-litre turbo engine of now legendary repute. The RS Cosworth used a 204bhp 2-litre DOHC engine with a Garret T3 turbocharger and intercooler enabling it to reach 62mph in 6.8 seconds and top speed of 150mph. In 1986, the Sierra Cosworth was a new kind of performance car - a blue-collar hero able to humble true sports cars.In January 1990, the third generation Sierra RS Cosworth was launched, this time with four-wheel drive. As early as 1987, Mike Moreton and Ford Motorsport had been talking about a four-wheel drive Sierra RS Cosworth that could make Ford competitive in the World Rally Championship. Ford Motorsport's desire for a 3-door 'Motorsport Special' equivalent to the original Sierra RS Cosworth was not embraced. The more discreet 4-door version was considered to have a better marketing potential, and it was therefore decided that the new car should be a natural development of the second generation, to be launched in conjunction with the facelift scheduled for the entire Sierra line in 1990.Launched to huge acclaim, the 4x4 RS Cosworth was superceded by the Mondeo in 1992, which brings us neatly to this immaculate example here. For K916 ATX has the distinction of being the last Sierra 4x4 Cosworth from the production line at Genk, as confirmed by a letter from the Operations Manager at Ford Genk, Germany. Delivered new on 2nd March 1993 to a Mr Gambling, he must have been made an attractive offer by Ford dealers Fordthorne of Cardiff, as he sold it to them on 3rd August 1993. There then followed a long period of ownership by Fordthorne, who regularly serviced and maintained the car, with detailed receipts on file, although the service book was not stamped. In 2009, the car was purchased by a Mr Bailey who kept it for some five years before he sold it to our vendor in 2015.The car presents immaculately today. The unmarked and rare Mallard Green paintwork gleams and the black leather Recaro seats show little, if any, signs of wear, understandably for a car showing just 20,335 miles. This figure is backed up by every MOT except one (from 1999), which we believe was due to the car being off the road, pre the days of SORN and therefore not showing on any records. In preparation for the sale, the car was fitted with brand new discs and pads all round, a new timing belt, full service, fuel filter and a brand-new OE-exhaust and flew through its most recent MOT which is valid until 15th October 2024.Most final production models are retained by the manufacturer and any low-mileage Sierra RS Cosworth is special, but there is only one right-hand car that can genuinely be called the 'last one'.Specification Make: FORD Model: SIERRA SAPPHIRE RS COSWORTH 4X4 Year: 1993 Chassis Number: WF0FXXGBBFNS98109 Registration Number: K916ATX Transmission: Manual Engine Number: NS98109 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 21335 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images
