1959 Jaguar XK150 3.8-Litre Drophead CoupéRegistration no. XAB 264Chassis no. S827329•One of 662 right-hand drive drophead coupés made•Five registered owners from new•Restored and well maintained•Large history fileFootnotes:This Jaguar XK150 drophead coupé was originally supplied by Horton's Garage, Redditch to the owners of Astwood Bank Farm, Redditch, and remained in the same family ownership until bought by one David De Saxe in December 1986. The original engine was 3.4-Litre but this was replaced early on by Jaguar, this change is recorded in the buff log book. Correspondence shows that Mrs Shirley-Priest had put the car away when her only son died, and when aged 87 decided to sell it 'to remove the sad reminder of better days'. On 22nd December 1998, Mr de Saxe sold 'XAB 264' to one A P Spender of Lockeridge, Wiltshire, who in turn sold it to Twyford Moors, the well-known Jaguar dealership. Previous owner Mr Harry Richardson purchased the car in August 2000. A great deal of money had been spent by David De Saxe on works including replacement of the hood shortly after he bought the car, while invoices show that in 1993 some £22,000 was spent on a major 'body off' restoration by Rees Bros of Aldershot, carried out at approximately 60,500 miles. There is also a photographic record of the restoration on file. During the body rebuild the underside was completely under-sealed, while winter servicing included Waxoyling and steam-cleaning. Noteworthy features include later-type rear lights (fitted for safety reasons); a restored period radio, converted to FM reception; and a tailored hood bag.In 1996 the engine was overhauled by well-known Jaguar specialist R G Bates of Birkenhead at a cost of £3,845, which included conversion for the use of unleaded petrol. This was carried out at approximately 63,000 miles. There is a substantial quantity of paperwork on file dating back to the beginning of David de Saxe's period of ownership. Nearly all invoices have been retained, and the fastidious service records make interesting reading. Also included is an owner's manual and workshop manual together with a set of tools and the original jack. In the 16 years that Mr Richardson owned the Jaguar it was fully maintained by his brother at his motor engineering business in Barnes, West London. All necessary works were carried out, as evidenced by numerous invoices in the substantial history file. In May 2016, new chromed wire wheels and Avon Turbo Steel tyres from MWS were fitted, while in August 2016 a new mohair hood and lining were installed, and the interior leather replaced/refurbished at the Trimming Centre in Lewes, East Sussex. The car was always kept in a modern, dry garage in ideal conditions. All expired tax discs and MoT certificates have been retained, supporting the current recorded mileage of 85,157. The current vendor (its fifth registered owner) purchased the XK150 at Bonhams' Olympia sale in December 2016 (Lot 315). At that time it was stated that: 'it runs extremely well and is a joy to drive. Considering the car's age, its performance is remarkable and motorway speeds are maintained with ease. Directional stability is said to be excellent, oil pressure good, and the cooling system has always, in the owner's experience, been entirely effective. Virtually no oil is consumed, though there is a small oil leak from the rear of the engine - an original design fault. The brakes are very efficient, having been up-rated at some time in the past, while the twin stainless steel exhausts emit a healthy throb.'Due to a number of factors not connected with the car, the owner has been unable to enjoy it in the way he had intended and in consequence it has been SORN'd for the entire period of ownership. Since purchase the XK has been carefully started on a regular basis and dry-stored in a Carcoon. In 2018 the fuel pump and windscreen washer unit were replaced and minor works carried out to the under-sealing. At the same time the vehicle was carefully inspected, checked and an MoT certificate issued. In short: this is a very attractive Jaguar XK150 supported by an extensive collection of invoices, letters, JDHT Certificate and other documentation, constituting an exceptionally detailed provenance.

1967 Aston Martin DB6 Vantage Sports SaloonRegistration no. WJH 333E (see text)Chassis no. DB6/3091/REngine no. 400/3058/V•One of only three DB6 Vantage models with automatic transmission•First owned by Lord Macpherson of Drumochter•Well specified•Present ownership since 2007•Offered at No ReserveFootnotes:Superseding the DB5 in 1965, the DB6 was the last of the long-running line of David Brown 'DB' models, and as such is considered by some aficionados of the marque to be the last of the 'real' Aston Martins. Aware that increased headroom and legroom was required to extend the car's appeal to a wider market and make it a true four-seater, the factory lengthened the wheelbase by 4' while at the same time re-styling the DB6 to incorporate a more raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter-windows.One of only three Aston Martin DB6 Vantage models completed with Borg Warner automatic transmission, this example comes with a guarantee form copy revealing that it was built for the UK market and delivered new via Cheapside Motor Co (HR Owen) to Lord Macpherson of Drumochter, JP. The car was ordered in Mink with Dark Blue Connolly leather trim, and was first registered as 'WJH 333E'. In addition to the Vantage engine and automatic transmission, the Aston also left the factory equipped with power steering; chrome road wheels; heated rear screen; 3-ear hubcaps; power aerial; Coolair air conditioning; safety belts; Motorola radio; Fiamm horns; Marchal quartz iodine fog and spot lamps; and an extra vanity mirror on the driver's sun visor. The total cost was £3,232 2s 6d plus £873 2s 6d Purchase Tax. A boot-mounted CD player was added subsequently. The current owner purchased the DB6 at the Bonhams Olympia Sale in December 2007 (Lot 703). The 2007 catalogue description states: 'On file are receipts from specialists Aston Workshop, Puddleduck and Rikki Cann recording refurbishment work carried out including attention to front and rear wings, rear sill and both door bottoms; renewing pedal support and master cylinder mounting brackets (2003); changing brake discs and fitting Aeroquip hoses all round; fitting reconditioned master cylinder and Vantage carburettor overhaul kit (2005); and overhaul of steering rack (2006).' Unfortunately, the documentation for these works has since been lost, as have the eight MoT certificates mentioned in the description, the last of which was obtained immediately prior to the 2007 sale. Exported in 2007, the Aston comes with a copy of its last UK V5C Registration Certificate recording the owner when issued as Christopher Jones of Kent. The car will need to be reregistered with the DVLA should the successful purchaser wish to resume using it in the UK and will be subject to the low import duty rate of 5%. The Vantage has received a cursory engineer's inspection and with some effort the car started although is not running well and the fuel pump is seized. As it has been stored in recent years, it will require further recommissioning before being returned to the road.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N MOTORCYCLESIf purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (SHIPPIO) to undertake the NOVA and C88 (customs) application if applicable on the Buyer's behalf.

1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 ConvertibleRegistration no. KBJ 86JChassis no. 11102712002926•Last-of-the-line modern classic•Automatic transmission•Left-hand drive•Imported into the UK in 2010•Present ownership since 2010Footnotes:'If you feel obligated to ask about the price you not only will never understand the car, you have branded yourself incapable of ever appreciating its virtues even if someone gave you one.' – Car & Driver on the Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5. The fact that Car & Driver felt compelled to comment on the 280 SE's price is understandable when one considers that at $13,500 in 1970 it was not only $3,500 more than that of the equivalent Mercedes-Benz saloon but also more than double that of a Cadillac Deville Coupé! The ultra-luxurious 280 SE Coupé/Cabriolet (and 300 SEL saloon) had been chosen by Mercedes-Benz to launch its magnificent new 3.5-litre V8 engine in 1969. An over-square design featuring a cast-iron block and aluminium-alloy cylinder heads, each equipped with a single overhead camshaft, this all-new, state-of-the-art power unit produced 200bhp courtesy of Bosch electronic fuel injection and transistorised ignition. Thus equipped, the Coupé/Cabriolet was good for 125mph with 60mph reachable in 9.5 seconds, a substantial improvement on the six-cylinder version's figures. Although the equivalent SEL saloon used the 'New Generation' bodyshell, the Coupé and Cabriolet kept the elegant coachwork that had debuted back in 1959 on the 220 SE and, as befitted top-of-the-range luxury models, came equipped with automatic transmission, air conditioning, power windows, and a stereo radio as standard. Significantly, the 280 SE 3.5 was to be the final model to feature this long-established and much admired body style, and today these last-of-the-line classics are highly sought after by discerning Mercedes-Benz collectors. An automatic transmission model, this left-hand drive Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Convertible was acquired via Cooper Classics of New York, USA. The car was imported by the current vendor and registered in the UK in 2010. It has been used infrequently and for special occasions, and is said to drive well at any speed. The passage of time and changes of circumstances mean that this much-loved Mercedes-Benz needs to find a new custodian. Described by the private vendor as in good condition throughout, the car is offered with a V5C document and will be freshly MoT'd by time of sale. The stylish 280 SE 3.5 has long been regarded as a classic of post-war design, possessing a timeless elegance that turns heads and gathers appreciative glances to a degree unmatched by its modern-day counterparts. Above all else, the 280 SE with the desirable 3.5-litre engine identifies its owner as a true connoisseur.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
