Superb one owner GT3 Touring with the manual gearbox, 723 miles from new and finished in Shark Blue.For over 20 years, Porsche’s GT3 has cemented its legend within the 911 dynasty, one which enhances the 911’s natural penchant for performance with additional flair and emotion. Powered by a high-revving, naturally aspirated flat-six linked to the rear wheels by – ideally - a manual gearbox, the GT3 is the purist’s 911.In February 2021, Porsche introduced the GT3 version of the eighth-generation 911, the 992. The numbers were very impressive; 3,996cc, 24v, naturally aspirated flat-six, 503bhp @ 8,400rpm, 347lb/ft @ 6,100rpm, 6-speed manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive, 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds, 199mph and 22mpg, however, it’s not simply numbers that separate it from its predecessor, the much revered 991. A new front suspension design utilised a double wishbone set-up rather than MacPherson struts and rose-joints allowing Porsche’s engineers to increase camber stiffness, and give the front tyres a far more consistent surface contact patch. In order to maximise the benefit of the performance from the double-wishbone set-up at the front, the multi-link rear suspension was also totally revised. Weight was saved in a number of areas including lightweight glass, new front wheels, new rear fascia, stainless exhaust and a carbon rear lid resulting in the new car weighing the same as the 991 GT3 even though it's physically larger.In 2017 the ‘Touring Package’ was introduced giving a new focus to the GT3’s capabilities. It's brief, to refine the magic of the Motorsport department and make this 911 more suited to the road. Still retaining the winged GT3’s explosive 500bhp engine, the Touring’s more subtle styling proved captivating. The most obvious difference is the omission of the standard car's distinctive swan-neck fixed rear wing replaced by an automatically extending rear spoiler which generates downforce at high speeds whilst maintaining the classic 'flatback' 911 profile. In the case of the 992 GT3 there are only a few aesthetic details that distinguish the Touring from its be-winged sibling including painted front bumper inserts, aluminium window trim (rather than black anodised) and more interior surfaces trimmed in perforated leather and brushed aluminium.Offered here is, essentially, a brand new 992 GT3 Touring offered from its first and only owner and finished in Shark Blue with a black extended leather/Alcantara interior. At the time of cataloguing just 723 miles had been covered from new, and this particular example is fitted with the desirable manual gearbox. The car is supplied with factory-fitted PPF and the Manufacturers Warranty remains valid until November 2025. The full specification is listed below:C16 UK-Supplied.

Charismatic WWII Dodge pick-up discreetly converted to a modern V8-engined Restomod show vehicle with some really clever touches.Launched in 1939, the WC series of Dodge trucks was to become a wartime staple within military transport circles carrying out numerous roles including ambulances, signals trucks or weapon carriers. Post-war, the truck came into its own as a sturdy and reliable workhorse, with many of the 250,000 built seeing use carrying out civilian duties.This particular example was discovered some years ago peacefully at rest in the hot Arizona sunshine in a remarkably rust-free condition, and was purchased and shipped back to Florida where it received the full restomod treatment to turn it into an everyday usable classic. The build commenced in 2012 and the car's history file contains lots of photographs and details of the whole process.After much research, a modern, low-mileage Dodge Durango SUV which had been involved in a rollover accident was purchased and the bodywork removed. The body from the WC was then expertly repainted in period-correct Stone Beige/Tampico Beige before being transplanted onto the Durango platform, the load area being lined in African Kiat hardwood. A freshly rebuilt 318ci (5.2-litre) V8 was slotted in, mated to a rebuilt 44RE automatic transmission connected via a custom balanced prop-shaft to the rebuilt Durango rear end with 2.42 final drive for relaxed highway cruising and fresh front disc/rear drum braking components.The truck was completely rewired using the wiring harness and fuse system from the Durango, all neatly hidden under the passenger seat. It's fitted with electric windows which, although they look wind-up, are actuated by light pressure on the window winders themselves - a really neat touch. The original vertical Motorola radio is also still in place but cleverly wired up to a modern radio hidden under the dash. Air conditioning has also been discreetly fitted in the glove box and a new compressor installed under the bonnet (this may still need final plumbing-in to get it working). The custom seats were adapted from those on the Durango second row, cut down and recovered in a Saddle Tan leather with door panels to match.Imported to the UK in 2019, the Dodge is correctly UK-registered complete with a V5C and accompanied by a fresh MOT Certificate issued prior to the sale. An outstanding example of 1940s Americana cleverly updated for modern use, a true ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’. If you enjoy country shows, militaria and commercial vehicle gatherings, then we can't imagine what else you could buy for this guide price that would be as much fun.Professional images to follow shortly.SpecificationMake: DODGEModel: WC PICK UPYear: 1941Chassis Number: 81149028Registration Number: LXS 353Transmission: AutomaticDrive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: Saddle Tan leatherClick here for more details and images

Believed to be one of only two H.J. Mulliner Drophead Coupés, this late production example was first delivered to the BSA Chairman Sir Bernard Docker. Sporting a delightful patina, the Bentley retains its original interior.Launched in 1955 as a replacement for the long-running Mark VI/R-type, Bentley’s new S-type was more closely related to the equivalent Rolls-Royce, the Silver Cloud, than ever - radiator and badges apart, there were no differences between the two. Under the stately bonnet Bentley’s superb six-cylinder engine was revised with a light alloy cylinder head and the new box-section chassis boasted many improvements, including hydraulic brakes all round. The perfectly proportioned, traditional styling of the S-Type and Silver Cloud was by John Blatchley and to this day remains the very epitome of British luxury motoring. Although Standard Steel coachwork was fitted to the vast majority of chassis built, there were still a small number of cars bodied by independent coachbuilders such as H.J.Mulliner, Park Ward and James Young, however, the unitary construction of the S-Type’s successor and all subsequent models, all but ended such a traditional association.Completed on the 4th September 1959, B20HA is one of just two convertibles styled to Body Design Number 7492 by H.J.Mulliner. Bentley Works paperwork in the file contains details of the car’s initial build. The order reference was BS:5897 and the finished car was scheduled to be delivered on 27.08.1959 so it was a week late. The car was to be finished in Shell Grey with a Putty coloured hood and Red upholstery. Specific options included “No. plates XXA 262 supplied and fitted, Radio 200R, Dunlop tubeless tyres, Electrically operated windows, Power operated hood, Hood cover, Badge bar with 4 badges, Zip-fasteners to backlight and finally, Initials ‘BD’ to doors”. We understand that the car's final cost was £7,266 which would have bought a couple of comfortable three-bed homes in 1959.That ‘BD’ referred to the cars first owner, Sir Bernard Docker KBE, of Claridge House, London W1. Sir Bernard was the Managing Director of the BSA grup of companies, Chairman of Daimler and the Anglo-Argentine Tramways Company and was awarded a Knighthood for his work as the Chairman of Westminster Hospital. The Bentley was a present for his second wife Norah Collins, a former showgirl. She was the widow of Sir William Collins, the President of Fortnum & Mason and also the widow of Clement Callingham, the head of Henekeys wine and spirit merchants.You have to respect Lady Norah’s perspicacity in marrying (and outliving) three millionaire husbands but, we understand, that she may have been a bit of a nightmare. Her notorious parties on their 863-tonne Motor Yacht Shemara, her outrageous spending, talking her husband into commissioning a gold-plated Daimler for her, and her outspoken approach meant that during the fifties she was seldom out of the tabloid newspapers who christened her “Naughty Norah”. There are books written about her escapades but, inevitably things started to take a turn for the worse when the Rainiers banned her from Monaco, and indeed the whole of the Cote d’Azure, a similar thing happened in Jersey when they moved there and she finally ended up in Majorca.B20HA passed briefly through the hands of agent Neville Hamwee who managed to find the car’s next owner on 29/11/1960.(It was never registered in his name). Incredibly it was another vivacious young woman, Maureen, Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava who was equally newspaper worthy but more The Times and Country Life. She was originally Maureen Guinness, heir to the brewing family, friends with the Royal Family and the original society "It Girl" as christened by the press. She was a blonde-haired, pre-war beauty, who dated celebrities and the aristocracy, was photographed for Vogue by Cecil Beaton and was the inspiration for Osbert Lancaster's cartoon character, Maudie Littlehampton. She too had three husbands and kept her first husbands title, the Fourth Marquess of Dufferin. She owned the Bentley for 25 years until late 1985 when it was sold to James Carroll of Bexleyheath for £22,000. There is correspondence in the file between the Marchioness and Mr Carroll some of which refers to Mr Carroll’s intention to restore the car and possibly change the colour.The next set of invoices in the file are from 1997 addressed to Mr and Mrs Carroll from P.J.Fischer Classic Automobiles of Putney. A quote from them refers to sorting out some paint issues “on lower blue section of body”. A substantial five-page invoice from them totalling £6,244.46 and dated 17/02/1997 details lots of work to the car which appears to be all mechanical and not cosmetic.The Bentley’s next owner was Godfrey Hickton of Worcester who acquired it on 18/05/2007. Shortly afterwards it appears that he commissioned Lea Francis Cars (Barry Price) of Alcester to restore the car and return it to its original Shell Grey. There are dozens of invoices and bits of correspondence between the owner and Lea Francis, all hand-written and hard to read, but it appears that many thousands of pounds had been invested with Lea Francis with the work still carrying on over two years later. At some point in 2009, it appears that Mr Hickton sadly passed away, as the final batches of invoices were addressed to the 'Executors of R Hickton' and the V5C lists the new owner as Mrs Jane Hickton on 19/07/2010. There is an invoice in the file from Hampton Coachtrimming for £3,989 dated 17/06/2010 for a complete new hood and associated parts.B20HA was then acquired by the legendary collector of British cars, Dr James Hull and, in common with the rest of Dr Hull’s extensive Collection, joined our vendor in 2014. There is only one further invoice in the file since then and it’s from Denyer Classic Cars on 04/06/2018 and appears to be for a service and recommission including all fluids, filters, coolant system flush, brake service (master-cylinder seals, hoses and a bleed), road test and an MOT.XXA 262 is accompanied by old tax discs, MOTs, V5Cs, the aforementioned history file with period newspaper articles, 3 x Original Bentley Instruction Books, Smiths Radiomobile operating instructions, the Maintenance Instructions for the hood operation, and instruction booklets for the heating and air Conditioning and the automatic gearbox.With a mileage of less than 50,000, at least two restorations and being one of only two cars built to this design, B20HA is a very desirable coachbuilt Bentley in its own right, but, for many of us, its fascination lies with its first two owners. Arriving in High Society from diametrically opposed corners of the social spectrum, these attractive, vivacious, captivating women managed to find six millionaire husbands, fill newspaper pages for a decade and are still known as ‘Naughty Norah’ and the ‘It Girl’ over sixty years later. There can’t be many society events that B20HA hasn’t attended and a few secrets it’s been asked to keep!

Lovely manual gearbox C2 from 26-years ownership in fabulous condition and benefitting from an exceptional service history.The 993 was the final generation of the air-cooled 911, and as such will always have a special place in the affections of Porsche enthusiasts. It's also widely said to be the last of the 911s that were built whilst engineering integrity overruled accounting pressures at Porsche. 20 years on, it still looks modern - a truly timeless design. It was introduced in the autumn of 1994 and was claimed to be 80% new with more curvaceous bodywork and a number of new panels creating a much smoother and more integrated look, however, importantly, this new style was still every inch a 911 in the traditional manner, with the profiles of the doors and rear quarter windows remaining unchanged from earlier models.The biggest change under the skin of the new 911 - the 933 - was the new multi-link rear suspension, giving greater driver confidence, less road noise and excellent ride quality. Designed to give a level of passive rear-wheel steering (the 'Weissach effect'), thus controlling the way the suspension behaved under cornering, braking and acceleration, it transformed the 911. It was also the first 911 to be equipped with power steering and an advanced ABS system. Utilising the same 3.6-litre engine as the 964, mated to a development of the worthy G50 gearbox, but now with six forward gears or the smooth Tiptronic automatic gearbox, the 993 from 1995 produced 272bhp enabling a top speed of over 150mph and acceleration to match.Silverstone Auctions are proud to offer this beautiful Carrera 2 that has a service record which is second to none with 19 stamps in the book with Official Porsche Dealers Reading (AFN) and Swindon. The story begins, however, when our vendor purchased the Porsche in July 1997 from Porsche Zentrum in Dusseldorf whilst working in Germany. A few months later, in September 1997, he returned to the UK bringing the Porsche with him consequently ensuring a continuity of maintenance that’s truly impressive over his 26 years of ownership.Finished in Polar Silver Metallic, it's fitted with the optional premium softer black leather interior which has been treated twice annually since 1997 and still looks perfect today. Factory-fitted options included 'Sports' suspension (10mm lower and slightly stiffer), automatic air-conditioning, electric heated and adjustable seats, a limited-slip differential, power steering, a Blaupunkt radio and CD player, onboard computer and 17’’ cup-design alloy wheels. For UK driving, it has twin rear fog lights and adjustable dipped beam.Part of the 911's perennial appeal is the purity of line of the early cars, often compromised by the later addition of protrusions, however, devoid of a sunroof, rear wash wipe and high-level brake light, the top line of this 993 is wind-tunnel perfect.The car's overall condition is exceptional and testament to our owners care and attention. There are a couple of very minor blemishes, commensurate with its 74,983 miles (120,572km) and it still rides on OE-fit Bridgestone Potenzas. The carpets have always had over mats and the interior is immaculate. The original speedometer (supplied with the car) was replaced with a newly manufactured Porsche unit in August 2021 with the mileage showing 115,304km and the new unit now reads 5,268km. It comes with its original Porsche box and the change is documented in the service record.In June 2022, the car toured Europe in a convoy of fellow Porsche enthusiasts and behaved perfectly, covering 2,200 trouble-free miles in two weeks. Subsequently, in August 2022, it was issued with a fresh MOT Certificate indicating 'no advisories'. Garaged and cosseted all of its life, this is a super example of the last of the air cooled 911s in exactly the specification you would want and, short of going back onto its German plate, it's about as original as you could hope to find.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 (993)Year: 1995Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99ZSS314488Registration Number: M278 UDPTransmission: ManualEngine Number: M6405-635 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 121000 KMMake: LHDClick here for more details and images
Lot 853
One of only 48, this rare, chrome-bumpered, Series 1A Corniche has been superbly restored.The two-door convertible version of the Silver Shadow has been, without doubt, the most commercially successful convertible ever produced by Rolls-Royce. First introduced in 1966 as the ‘Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward Two-Door, Drophead Coupe’, to give it its full title, the car was instantly in demand. When Rolls-Royce launched the two-door cars, the international jet-set began to clamour for attention at the dealerships. With waiting lists measured in years, these hugely desirable vehicles began to change hands at significant premiums over list price, and one can imagine the hushed negotiations over the green baize of the gaming tables at Crockfords, the Palm Beach and Aspinalls. Customers who ordered the Drophead were not the same people who purchased the company's sensible saloons, with the cars frequently being specified in bright colours, and eventually it became apparent that this version deserved to have its own model name so, after a few cosmetic changes in 1971, the Corniche was born. The name originally comes from the French word for a coastal road, particularly along the face of a cliff, most notably the Grande Corniche along the French Riviera above the principality of Monaco, and it was thought at the time that this new name might convey some of the style and glamour of Monte Carlo and, 50 years later, it still does. Rolls-Royce foresaw the time when RR owners would like to drive their own cars, and the Corniche continued to be developed with this in mind and even had a rev counter fitted as standard. Around 10% more power was coaxed from the proven 6,750cc aluminium-alloy V8 endowing the two-door with a top speed in excess of 120mph and sports car-embarrassing acceleration to match. Progressively developed, the Corniche received Rolls’ advanced split-level air conditioning system along with a re-designed fascia in 1976 - the first Rolls-Royce model to do so. Despite its sky-high asking price, the model proved a major success for Rolls-Royce; periodically revised and updated, it remained in production well into the 1990s, the last (convertible) examples being delivered in 1995.Delightfully understated in Tudor Grey with Evergreen leather, Olive carpets and a green soft top, this RR Corniche is a rare example of the Series IA, built for just less than a year in 1976 with only 48 Convertibles sold. The Series IA is often described as the 'Holy Grail' of Corniche production featuring many of the developments that were about to be introduced in the Corniche II including the later steering wheel, completely new fascia, bi-level air-conditioning, rack and pinion steering and upgraded suspension but retaining the aesthetically pleasing chrome bumpers.The car is in excellent overall condition having had an extensive recent restoration which included a bare metal respray, a full re-trim by Aldridge Trimming (roof, headlining, seats and carpets), an assessment of the mechanical aspects with remedial work where necessary, the original radio overhauled and upgraded, upgrades to the steering and suspension, a stainless steel exhaust system and new green seat belts.It's accompanied by a substantial quantity of history (four files) covering an interesting life with maintenance invoices, service records and ownership details. It was originally supplied to Victoria Island Properties in 1976 and amongst its notable owners, was Lord Peter Palumbo, Chairman of the Arts Council, who purchased the car from P&A Wood in 1992.The, possibly, slightly brash image of the Corniche from 40 years ago has long since been forgotten and they are now regarded as a well-designed, very desirable, supremely elegant four-seat classic convertible that would be welcome anywhere.SpecificationMake: ROLLS-ROYCEModel: SERIES IA CORNICHE CONVERTIBLEYear: 1976Chassis Number: DRH23398Registration Number: EHJ 39PTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 23398Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 83740 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Evergreen Leather, Olive Carpets & Green HoodClick here for more details and images

Building on the iconic status of the Defender, this highly-spec'd 'KAHN' Defender is an eye-catching 4x4 which has been enjoyed by the same family from new and regularly serviced.The icon. As much a part of British car culture as the Mini, the Jaguar E-Type or the Ford Escort - perhaps even more so. Though officially only known as a ‘Defender’ from 1990, as a rebadge of the previous 90 and 110 models, it was instantly familiar given the evolutionary relationship with the Series Land Rovers that preceded them. To the layman, the different versions have almost become interchangeable, not least because each represents the utilitarian, unpretentious, rugged off-roader that made Land Rover famous.Throughout the 1990s, the model commenced its inevitable climb upmarket whilst remaining true (as close as possible) to its roots. Engine changes became a regular occurrence with the 200Tdi being followed by the 300Tdi, Td5 and then the Ford Duratorq that appeared in 2.4-litre form in 2007 and subsequently in 2.2-litre guise during 2012.The car presented here is a 2016 Land Rover Defender 110 XS Station Wagon which has been tastefully modified with desirable Project KAHN/Chelsea Truck Company cosmetic upgrades. As the company says: ‘Automobiles Refined By KAHN® - Unique handcrafted vehicles for a small circle of people who have the taste for exclusivity and the finer things in life - finest quality to the last detail.’It was first registered in February 2016, has remained with a single family from new, and is now being offered for sale by its third registered family keeper. The 110 is the more user-friendly, long-wheelbase version of the venerable Defender, and this striking version is finished in black paintwork with a bespoke black leather-trimmed interior with contrasting stitching, featuring front sport bucket seats, diamond-quilted inserts on the seats, door cards, and dashboard, and gloss black trim on the centre console. It sits on an after-market set of 16'' KAHN twin five-spoke lightweight alloy wheels finished in matte black, and wears Continental Cross Contact tyres.The factory specification includes a heated rear windscreen, heated front seats, a high and low range gearbox, electric windows, rear privacy glass, a rear step, an adjustable tow bar, rear Land Rover mud flaps, and air conditioning. Externally, this Defender now features an extended KAHN body-kit, LED headlights, a KAHN front grille and headlight grilles, a replacement front bumper with sump guard and built-in spotlights, and a Chelsea Truck Co. rear spare wheel cover. Inside, the cabin has been upgraded with a KAHN steering wheel and pedals, Chelsea Truck Co. and KAHN plaques, a Pioneer media system with satellite navigation and DAB radio, and a red fascia with an analogue KAHN clock.The most recent maintenance was a full service in February 2020 at 27,153 miles by Inchcape Land Rover, Preston. The previous scheduled service was in February 2018 at 19,326 miles by Inchcape and prior to that the first scheduled service was carried out by Hunters Land Rover Preston in February 2017 at 11,895 miles. The car is accompanied by three keys and two fobs, the owner’s handbooks with a leather wallet, and a collection of maintenance invoices and MOT Certificates.Offering excellent value over a newly-specified KAHN Defender, which can be as much as £70,000-plus, this eye-catching 4x4 has been well looked-after, regularly serviced and enjoyed by the same family from new.

Supplied new to British actor Robin Ellis, this outstanding Interceptor II has been beautifully restored with absolute attention to detail and will continue to turn heads for another 50 years.Jensen's C-V8 replacement debuted in 1966 reviving a name first employed in the 1950s. However, several of the firm's traditions were broken in that the design was outsourced to Carrozzeria Touring and the bodies made of steel not glass fibre. Early shells were built in Italy, by Vignale, prior to production being established at Jensen's Kelvin Way plant in West Bromwich. Power came from a 6,276cc (383ci) Chrysler V8, driving through either a 4-speed manual or 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission to an LSD Salisbury rear axle. Specification included electric windows, reclining seats, wood-rim steering wheel, radio with twin speakers, electric clock and reversing lights. Production of the Interceptor II (occasionally called the Mk.II or Series II) commenced in October 1969 and lasted for two years.This particular car has a chassis prefix, #123, so was one of 694 right-hand drive, UK-cars powered by the E-Series 383ci V8 generating around 330bhp. It was first registered in the spring of 1970 and supplied new to British actor, Robin Ellis, best known for playing the leading role in the BBC series, Poldark, based on the novels of Winston Graham. Purchased for just under £8,000 or the equivalent of £150,000 in today’s money, the Jensen was a serious car for special customers.Several enthusiastic owners enjoyed the Jensen over the years until 2015 when the decision was made to completely restore it. The car's condition today is testament to the outstanding workmanship of the specialist team commissioned to complete the restoration and we understand that this glorious long-legged GT performs as well as it looks. The provenance and history of the Jensen is supported by a large history file containing the factory pre-sale inspection documents and paperwork which confirms that its first owner, Robin Adair Ellis, took delivery of the car on 6th May 1970. Also within the file is a detailed account of the restoration with supporting documentation, the current V5C ready for transfer or export, old MOT Certificates, the Heritage Certificate and a wealth of invoices for care and maintenance over the years, with the most recent service carried out in January 2023. Although exempt, the current MOT is valid until 1 February 2024.Finished in a lovely shade of very pale grey, the Jensen continues to attract all the right attention and, as a well restored and very well-maintained example, should only require basic maintenance. A rare blend of Italian styling, an American engine and British craftsmanship, these big GTs are comfortable and relatively practical with rear seats and a decent boot. It’s a beautiful British classic that will undoubtedly be the talking point at any classic car show or event the new owner wishes to take it to.SpecificationMake: JENSENModel: INTERCEPTOR IIYear: 1970Chassis Number: 1233736Registration Number: SUX 879HTransmission: AutomaticDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
