1962 Daimler DQ450 Majestic Major Transmission: automatic Mileage: 97298Motor Sport magazine described the Daimler Majestic Major as having sportscar performance and indeed it did, remaining stable at over a reported 120mph. The coachwork was built by a subsidiary company, however, called Carbodies at a different pace than other cars at Browns Lane on another production line that was ‘hand-moved’ in order to maintain quality.This was the final flowering of a tradition that reaches back to the very dawn of motoring, of building superbly engineered cars of understated luxury and quality. The Majestic had been originally powered by a rather sedate 3.8 litre, six-cylinder unit, but the Major was the first and only application for an ambitious and potent 4.5 litre, V8. Output was over 220bhp, which gave this very substantial luxury saloon a startling 0-60mph time of 9.7 seconds, very considerably faster than its two-seater contemporary, the MGA. Power was delivered through a three-speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox, and the designers also wisely incorporated disc brakes. 2600FN is a very impressive example of what is now a rare car. It returned to the UK in 2019 after spending some years in a substantial collection in central Italy. Since then, it has undergone an engine rebuild at a cost of some £7,000 and now demonstrates the driving qualities which hugely impressed the Motor Sport magazine road tester, (rather to his surprise, it must be said), in 1961. Coachwork is well finished in a dark claret colour which complements well the lavish chrome bright work, while the interior retains the original and very high-quality leather trim and carpeting although the typically handsome walnut wood capping should benefit from repolishing after some six decades. A rare, rewarding and pleasing example of an uncommon and underestimated model.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1970 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce Transmission: manual Mileage: 30601The first of Alfa Romeo’s Bertone styled coupés, the 1.6 litre Giulia Sprint GT, was launched in 1963. Mechanically the stylish new 2+2 was much the same as the Giulia TI sports saloon, featuring a five-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension, coil-spring live rear axle and disc brakes all round. A 1300 model, the GT Junior, arrived in 1966 and the range was further extended the following year by the launch of the 1750 GTV, the latter powered by a 1,799cc, 118bhp version of Alfa’s classic twin-cam, four-cylinder engine, in a four-headlight version of the existing bodyshell running on 14-inch wheels. A short lived but nevertheless popular model, the 1750 GTV underwent a minor mechanical and styling revision part way through production before being replaced by the 2000 version in 1972. More powerful than the 1600 but sweeter running than the 2000, the 1750 is the choice of the Alfa Romeo enthusiast who knows their GTVs. Driver’s cars par excellence in the Alfa tradition, Bertone’s timelessly elegant Giulia coupés are among the most exciting sports saloons of the 1960s and today all versions are highly sought after.This lovely, rare, right hand drive Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce is in very good condition throughout. A condition report written for a previous owner in 1998 tells of the body being restored and new wings fitted. Supplied new with Webasto sunroof with a very rare deflector, a clock and outside temperature gauge. This 1750 GTV has been very well maintained, and no expense spared by the two previous owners over the last 24 years. The car is finished in Biancospino with black interior and comes supplied with a UK V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in December 2021, a large history file containing invoices from Alfa specialist Gran Turismo, Andrew Thorogood and Titus Rowlandson of Victory Garage showing all the work carried out since 1998, old MoT’s dating back to 1996, the early condition report and an article relating to the Alfa GTV. The current owner has just had the Alfa Romeo GT Junior rubber over rugs fitted to protect the carpets, he also reports that everything works on the car. This represents a rare opportunity for an Alfa Romeo enthusiast to own one of these eminently collectible models.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1988 Vegantune Evante Series 1 Transmission: manual Mileage: 33450Renowned worldwide for its successful racing engines, the Spalding-based firm of VeganTune diversified into car making in the early 1980s with the Lotus Elan-inspired Evante, a separate company - Evante Cars Ltd - being set up to handle its manufacture. Although Elan-like in appearance, the glassfibre-bodied Evante employed a stronger, tubular-steel spaceframe chassis rather than the Lotus’s backbone type and was powered by VeganTune’s own Ford-based VTA twin-cam engine. Producing 170bhp and 140lb/ft of torque from its 1.7 litres, this engine, with its belt-driven camshafts and accessible water pump, was reckoned much easier to maintain than the Lotus version. Only produced to individual customer order, the Evante failed to weather the late 1980s recession. After only a limited number had been made, the operation was sold to a consortium of Spalding businessmen, which continued production of the Evante 140TC. In the autumn of 1992, Evante was sold to another specialist vehicle manufacturer – Newark-based Fleur De Lys Automobile Manufacturing Limited – which re-engineered the chassis to accept the 1.8 litre Ford Zetec 16 valve engine.This rare example of this British sports car is presented in Metallic Blue with blue leather interior with attractive Walnut dashboard. The car has had just four owners from new, the last one keeping the car from 1997 to 2021. It was sent back to Vegantune main agent at 20,000 miles and was fully upgraded to Series 2 Sprint specification. This included new upgraded bearings and pistons, reworked big valve head and camshafts, twin 45mm twin choke carburettors, new stainless steel exhaust and upgraded Spax adjustable coil over shock absorbers. The car also benefits from a new hood and comes with its tonneau covers which are in good condition. There are two history folders accompanying the car with specification sheets, old MoTs and receipts for work carried out. It will be fully recommissioned by the present owner prior to auction which will include a full engine service and tune, brakes overhaul and a new MoT test certificate will be supplied. It is powered by the lively and great sounding 1700cc Twin Cam engine which provides exciting performance with great handling to match.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2020 Corvette C8 Z51 Stingray Coupé Transmission: automatic Mileage: 4The all-new Corvette Stingray is both a revelation and a revolution. The first mid-engine version of the iconic American muscle car looks more like a Ferrari than a Corvette with power to match its European counterpart. 60% of the weight of the C8 is over the back wheels. This new model is ferocious off the line, aided by its quick shifting eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and a well calibrated launch control system, 60mph is reached in an eye watering 2.8 seconds.This striking example presents well in Torch Red and a contrasting Jet Black interior. The dealer specified upgrades include black painted spoke alloy wheels, engine appearance package, painted brake calipers, large rear wing and carbon flash outside mirrors. The look is enhanced with a removable roof panel, LED headlights and daytime running lamps. The well-chosen specification complements the already high standard level of equipment. The list of features is exhaustive (a full specification is in the file) but includes, limited slip differential, traction control, rear view camera, rear park assist and power locks. The striking exterior looks are matched by a space age interior with cosseting power adjustable GT2 bucket seats, dual zone climate control, a state of the art infotainment touchscreen featuring Bluetooth streaming, Apple car play, voice recognition and heads up display. As if the staggering list of equipment wasn’t enough, this beautiful example is a Z51 version which includes performance brakes, suspension, exhaust, heavy duty cooling system and high performance run flat tyres.All import duties have been paid on this super rare supercar and a UK V5C registration document has been applied for. This is an opportunity to purchase an extremely powerful and extremely rare Corvette.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1969 Mercedes-Benz 600 SWB Transmission: automatic Mileage: At one point in time, Mercedes-Benz built, arguably, the finest luxury automobiles in the world. In its post-war recovery, they shifted focus towards more practical family saloons, followed by cars of a more sporting nature. By the early 1960s, however, Rudolf Uhlenhaut felt the time had come for Mercedes-Benz to re-establish itself as a builder of ultra-premium models, ones where, in his words, “costs were of secondary importance.” The impressive Mercedes 600 was born with its unconditional hydraulic system that operated the windows, power seats, sunroof, doors, boot, suspension damping and ventilation system. While lesser vehicles used electric motors to regulate many of these functions, the Mercedes-Benz engineers believed that if cost was not an object, hydraulic systems, would be smoother, quieter and longer-lasting.This is a very rare opportunity to acquire a Mercedes-Benz 600 in need of extensive restoration. Imported from Connecticut USA, this Mercedes comes with a completed NOVA application and UK taxes paid. The bodywork and interior are largely complete and the vendor reports that the engine turns. A solid base for restoration, this 600 comes with many original panels and parts and we are sure would make for a very rewarding project for the new custodian.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1987 Porsche 928 S4 Transmission: automatic Mileage: 113408Originally intended to replace the company's iconic 911, the 928 attempted to combine the power, poise and handling of a sports car with the refinement, comfort and equipment of a luxury saloon. The body, styled by Wolfgang Möbius under guidance of Anatole Lapine, was mainly of galvanised steel but the doors, bonnet and boot were made of aluminium to save weight. Polyurethane elastic bumpers were integrated into the nose and tail and covered in body-coloured plastic; an unusual feature for the time that was intended as both a styling feature and to reduce drag. In 1980, the 928S was introduced with a larger 4.7 litre engine and wider wheels and tyres, whilst in 1987, the engine displacement was further increased to 4957cc with the introduction of the now highly desirable 928 S4.This well presented example showing 113,408 on the odometer is offered in good condition and is one of the most sought after models of this iconic ‘yuppie’ car of the 1980s. Superb to look at from every angle, the howl of its powerful five litre V8 mated to its transmission is a triumph of German engineering and exciting to drive both on country roads and relaxing on longer journeys. Recently the 928 has been serviced and has had an extensive respray and as such looks fantastic. The history file contains various sundry invoices, MoT records and the current UK V5C registration document. Rare, desirable, and highly collectable!Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible Transmission: automatic Mileage: 12766The Chevrolet Camaro was General Motors’ response to the highly successful Ford Mustang pony car. The first Camaro that appeared on sale in September 1966 was a 2+2 two door available with a coupé or convertible body, sharing the chassis and many other parts from the Pontiac Firebird. A wide range of engine options included six and eight cylinder derivatives, from the base model 230ci straight six to the 427ci V8 big block. With a staggering fourteen different power plants available, buyers were not short of choice when selecting their engine! The Camaro had sold well after its introduction and by 1969 was extremely popular; with revised styling the car looked meaner than the earlier models with an aggressive grille, slightly squarer body panels, and squared-off rear wheel arches. The nose was restyled utilising the Rally Sport grille package, with partially see through headlight covers that rotated to reveal the headlights whilst the rear of the car used new multi-sectioned tail lights. The interior was similar to the 1967/68 models but featured a new dashboard fitted with square-shaped instruments. The console remained the same as 1968 but it received a redesigned main instrument panel with the two main pods squared off instead of rounded as in earlier models. If a tachometer was purchased separately, the fuel gauge was relocated to the small centre dash pod normally reserved for the clock, the first time this option was available on a Camaro.This Camaro SS convertible is offered in the desirable and rare colour combination of Hugger orange with Opalescent white interior and black carpets and comes with extras including power steering and power brakes. It was imported to the UK in 2015 from Arizona having had various works carried out prior to import. Disc brakes were fitted all round along with adjustable shock absorbers, a full stainless steel exhaust system, Boyd Coddington alloy wheels and a Kicker stereo system with Bluetooth connectivity. The car is fitted with a 12 bolt positraction rear end, the rare tick tock tach and centre console with four dials, and an electric hood. Presented in good order throughout, the paintwork and chromework both retain a deep shine and the interior is just as good. The vendor reports that this Camaro drives well and sounds fantastic when on song, attracting attention wherever it goes. Offered with the owner’s manual, sales brochure and a current UK V5C registration document.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1965 Ford Mustang GT Fastback Transmission: manual Mileage: 36379The Mustang GT version was introduced as the ‘GT Equipment Package’ and included a V8 engine and included grille-mounted fog lamps, rocker-panel stripes, bumper exit exhausts and disc brakes. In the interior, the GT option added a different instrument panel that included a speedometer, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge and amp meter in five round dials. A four-barrel carburettor engine was available with any body style. Additionally, reverse lights were an option added to the car from August 1964 production. The Mustang was originally available as either a hardtop or convertible, but during the car's early design phases a fastback model was strongly considered.First registered on 1st January 1965, this early Fastback GT presents beautifully. As a suffix ‘A’ car, it was built in the San Jose, California plant, where it is believed to have spent most of its life. This is certainly very plausible given the incredible condition of the car’s bodywork; it is incredibly solid with no signs of rust or corrosion anywhere. The vendor had the two front floor pans replaced when they first showed the earliest signs of corrosion and also had the fuel tank replaced as a matter of course, all with genuine Ford parts, but otherwise the car hasn’t needed any further attention other than general maintenance. Meticulous in his nature, the vendor was determined to find a correct GT, one that was ordered from new as a manual 289 Windsor V8 and not one that had had a later six-cylinder to V8, or automatic to manual conversion. He subsequently spent two and a half years searching the globe for the right car before settling on this one, then in Mallorca. After some drawn out negotiations, he finally secured the car and brought it back to the UK. He has owned and cherished the car for the past twelve years and is only selling, reluctantly, to fund a house move, despite all his best efforts to not have to! Boasting the rare option of factory fitted air conditioning, this car is a true GT in its original colours of Raven black with black interior, with the only known modifications being a Holley carburettor, Edelbrock intake manifold, American racing alloy wheels, (as seen on many Shelby Mustangs), and a Magnaflow exhaust system.Supplied with its V5C registration document, original Mustang handbook, maintenance manuals and a well presented history file, the car sounds incredible and drives just as well. A rare opportunity to own a rare car that, if it were not for an imminent house purchase, would not be for sale.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1967 Alfa Romeo Spider 1600 Duetto Transmission: manual Mileage: 52747The Alfa Romeo Spider 1600, to give it its official factory name, was manufactured during 1966 and 1967. The name 'Duetto' came about from a competition held by Alfa Romeo to distinguish the car from its Giulia 105 series stable mates, the Coupé and Berlina, and was accepted for its reference to the two-seat layout. The Duetto name only applied to the 1600 model; two later variants, with different engine sizes, were the 1750 Velocé and 1300 Junior. All of the models are commonly known today as roundtail spiders. These advanced motor cars were fitted, as standard, with twin cam engines, five-speed gearboxes and disc brakes on all four wheels.Offered here is a unique opportunity to bring back to its former glory a rare and beautiful genuine 1967 Duetto Spider. First registered on 25th May 1967, the car was fully restored in the mid 70’s by the previous owner Mr. Frank Pollock who, after enjoying the car extensively, sold it on to the vendor in 1988. The car was a concours winner no less than six times between 1981 and 1992 and amazingly, much of its concours documentation remains within the car’s history file including scoring sheets, entries and pictures. Also included in the beautifully presented history file are photos of the bare metal restoration along with virtually all its tax discs and MoT certificates between 1977 and when the car was laid up in 1998. Several publications featuring the car are also supplied with the car, including a copy of Classic and Sports Car magazine from September 1984 with the car on the front cover and included in a five page article on the Spider models.Some may question how such a beautifully presented car, with two such fastidious long term owners, could fall into such disrepair. The story, an all too familiar one, is that the car, was put into the vendor’s garage, along with a Sprint Speciale (also featured in this auction), when he started spending more time working abroad. As his career blossomed, time flew by and unbeknown to him a tree branch fell and broke a hole through his garage’s roof. Further deterioration followed until the cars found themselves in their current state. Upon close inspection however, the cars appear to be in better condition than an initial glance might lead one to believe. The cellulose paint has survived very well overall, with both the boot and engine bay presenting very well. The interior, with some very rare elements, on the whole is salvageable, despite clearly needing a new hood.Supplied with its V5C logbook, original service book, instruction book, toolkit, history file, tax discs, MoT test certificates, magazine articles, restoration photos, concours history and many Alfa Romeo Owners Club magazines. This beautiful and most desirable of Spiders is complete and offers a rare opportunity for someone to put their own stamp on and to extend the previously illustrious life of this lovely little Alfa.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1934 Rolls-Royce 20/25 by Atcherley Transmission: manual Mileage: 26176By the late 1920s the trend for ever-heavier coachwork on the Rolls-Royce 20hp had inevitably had a detrimental effect on performance. Rolls-Royce’s solution was to increase the comparatively small six-cylinder engine’s capacity from just over three litres to 3699cc which, together with a stronger crankshaft allowing increased rpm, raised its output to 25hp. Over the past eight decades the 20/25hp Rolls-Royce has earned an enviable reputation of being among the most dependable, satisfying and highest quality pre-war models of all. Produced from 1929 to 1935, it represented the marque’s determined effort to move away from massive formal cars, routinely chauffeur-driven, to the newly fashionable owner-driver market for the wealthy private owner-driver. Various detail improvements were made to the 20/25 during its seven year production life including rises in compression ratio in 1930 and 1932; the latter year also saw the introduction of synchromesh for the third and fourth gear ratios, thermostatically controlled radiator grille shutters, a one-shot centralised lubrication system and an electric fuel gauge.W.C. Atcherley were a little known, Birmingham based coachbuilders whose speciality was exceptional quality and innovation. They were very selective in the cars they worked on and provided bodies for only 10 Rolls-Royces with only one of these being a 20/25; this very car. The car was ordered by Ada Scribbans who specified this very pleasing and unusual two door design. Ada was the wife of Harry, the owner of the largest bakery in the Midlands, who made his fortune during the First World War supplying the armed forces with their daily biscuit ration. The family were great friends of Brough, of Brough Superior fame, who in turn was a friend of William Clive Atcherley; hence her choice of coachbuilder.‘Ada’, as this example is affectionately known, has been used extensively, competing in numerous club tours and rallies including, as the photographs in the file show, a 4,000 mile jaunt in New Zealand. This was made possible by correct and regular maintenance and service work with no expense spared. She benefits from overdrive, an oil filter system, a radiator recore, a stainless steel exhaust, a DWS jacking system, all undertrays and has been correctly rewired. The car also benefits from a large metal sunroof and the ultimate luxury in 1934 …. a heater!This stunning looking Rolls-Royce presents well in green, trimmed in magnolia. The superb interior boasts art deco features, beautiful woodwork, pull out picnic tables, pull out storage spaces and even pull out drinks holders on the dashboard. The rear opening windows have blinds and the car feels spacious. The comfortable driving position is made possible by the rare addition of lateral adjustment to the seats. There is a large boot which houses all the original tools. The car was taken for a test drive and is possibly the best driving example of a 20/25 that we have seen, pulling strongly with a smooth gearbox. Offered to auction with a UK V5C registration document, build sheets, various items of paperwork and photographs, notebooks and the owner’s handbook. The registration plate, integral to the story of this tremendous car, is included in this not to be missed opportunity.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 MG B GT Transmission: manual Mileage: 94877The MGB was launched in May 1962 to replace the MGA. Introduced as a four-cylinder roadster, a coupé with 2+2 seating was added in 1965 with production continuing until October 1980. The MGB GT sported a ground-breaking design by Pininfarina with the launch of its sporty 'hatchback' style. By combining the sloping rear window with the rear deck lid, the GT offered the utility of a hatchback while retaining the style and shape of a coupé. Acceleration of the GT was slightly slower than that of the roadster due to its increased weight although top speed was improved by 5mph to 105mph due to better aerodynamics.This example has been subject to an extensive restoration over the past fourteen years. Presented in very good condition the paintwork, interior, and engine bay are all in wonderful order. Benefitting from various desirable upgrades the MG is fitted with a big valve cylinder head and a rare aluminium bonnet and has been subject to an extensive engine rebuild including new piston rings and crankshaft bearings as well as a thorough brake overhaul. The suspension system and wire wheels have also been renewed and a stainless-steel exhaust system, new clutch, and new starter motor were also fitted at this time. The vendor reports that the MG runs and drives very well indeed and sounds superb when on song. Having had just five owners from new the MGB is offered with many invoices and photographs detailing the restoration, previous MoT test certificates, and the current UK registration document. Offered at no reserve we are sure this wonderful example will be huge amounts of fun for its new custodian.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1975 Land Rover Light Van Transmission: manual Mileage: 78867The iconic Land Rover Series I, II, and III, commonly referred to as 'Series' Land Rovers to distinguish them from later models, are off-road vehicles produced in the Midlands by the iconic and world-famous manufacturer. Land Rover claim that 70% of the vehicles ever made are still in use today - a claim first made in the 1992 brochure and repeated many times since.We are told that this rare and striking, matching numbers petrol engined Land Rover was ordered by the Swiss post office. The sides of the car still feature the original PTT logo which stands for Postal, Telegraph and Telephone. We are also informed that the unusual tailor-made roof and roof rack are original and rare. This left hand drive example of the go anywhere 4x4 was kept in storage for 14 years hence the low mileage. The DVLA record for this Land Rover shows only 1 former keeper and it is offered without reserve. This Land Rover runs but will require some recommissioning.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1966 Ford Cortina Mk. I Crayford Convertible (1500cc) Transmission: manual Mileage: 81760In response to the huge success of the Mini, Ford responded not with a small car but with a larger family offering which they could sell in large numbers. The result was the Cortina; a distinctively styled, mass-market compact car aimed at buyers of the Morris Oxford and Vauxhall Victor. It launched on 20th September 1962 and sold extremely well. It was produced in five generations (Mk. I through to Mk. V) although officially the last one was called the Cortina 80. With variants of the Cortina reaching sales of over one million and each successive model proving more popular than its predecessor, such was its fame in the UK that the BBC Two documentary series Arena once devoted an entire programme to the car and its enthusiasts. With eye-catching modern styling, it was originally branded as the Consul Cortina until a modest facelift in 1964, after which it was sold simply as the Cortina but with four trim levels; Standard, Deluxe, Super and GT.Originally registered on 10th May 1966, this stylish Ford is one of approximately 50 Cortinas converted by Crayford into a convertible. The lines of the Mk. I lends itself to being a convertible and this example, with its blue coachwork and hood together with the contrasting red interior, is certainly aesthetically pleasing. The car fell into disrepair in the late 80’s and was sold in 1988 for £1,000 as a restoration project to Mr Paul Brench from Wiltshire who set about restoring the car. Presenting now in delightful condition, the interior benefits from having the additional dials from a GT and a remote gear lever. Supplied with a V5C registration document, this Cortina Mk. I Crayford is very rare and will certainly turn heads wherever she appears.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2006 Smart Fortwo Convertible Brabus Red Edition Transmission: manual Mileage: 57287The Smart design concept began at Mercedes-Benz in the early 70s and late 80s. After brief backing by Volkswagen, the first model was released by Daimler-Benz in October 1998. Several variants on the original design have been introduced, with the original being the ‘Fortwo’. The car launched successfully in nine European countries. Smart derives from cooperation with Swatch and Mercedes-Benz: Swatch Mercedes ART. The Smart Brabus Edition Red was a limited edition produced in September 2006; of only 50 cars produced, 35 were coupés and 15 were cabriolet versions. The paintwork was especially done in Intense Red and the interior colours were duly matched with usual Brabus upgrades.Designed on the base of the Fortwo Brabus, this limited edition example can be distinguished by its bright Intense Red colour and is powered by a 75bhp, 3-cylinder turbo charged engine, with a top speed of 150km/h, unlike the other Fortwo cars that were traditionally restricted to 135km/h. The passenger compartment has seats and door linings in Alcantara leather and red top stitching, the speedometer, clock and turbo pressure gauge have the same red surrounds and the dashboard is covered in black Alcantara. Other than that, the car shares the major elements of the Brabus versions, such as the twin exhaust, 16” monoblock alloys and various accessories to assist the passengers such as air conditioning and paddle shift steering wheel.This Fortwo Brabus Red Edition has been part of a private collection for some time and is presented in very good condition throughout. Showing a mere 57,287 on the odometer, this Brabus comes with a history file including old MoT test certificates and the current V5 registration document. One of just 15 convertible examples produced, this example with modest mileage is a very rare car indeed. Offered without reserve we are sure this limited edition example will bring much enjoyment to its new custodian.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1969 Ford Escort Mk. I (1600) Transmission: manual Mileage: 68794The Mk. I Ford Escort was introduced in Ireland and the UK at the end of 1967 and made its show debut at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1968. It replaced the successful, long running Ford Anglia. The front suspension and steering gear were differently configured and the brakes were fitted with dual hydraulic circuits; also the wheels fitted on the Genk-built Escorts had wider rims. These models were hailed as an immediate success both domestically on the roads and for motor sport, particularly rallying/rallycross and hill climbing. A higher performance version of this iconic car was produced for rallies and a racing version was available, the Escort Twin-Cam, which were built for Group 2 international rallying. It had an engine with a Lotus-made eight-valve twin camshaft head fitted to the 1.5 litre non-crossflow block, which had a bigger bore than usual to give a capacity of 1,558cc. This engine had originally been developed for the Lotus Elan which had already proven itself in the market place, on the road and on the track. The Mk. I Escorts were incredibly successful and they eventually went on to become one of the most successful rally cars of all time. Only 883 of these rare sports cars were made.This fabulous Ford Escort was painstakingly built as a replica of the famous Mk. I Twin-Cam, thus resulting in the glorious white example we have here. Fitted with a Vulcan engineering built 1600 crossflow engine fed by twin 40’ Weber carburettors and mated to a highly sought after Tran-X straight cut gearbox, bucket seats, an all original shell and panels including flared Mexico arches, and uprated wildwood brakes, this example takes on a familiar guise as the infamous Twin-Cam rallying legend we know so well. The bodywork is in very good condition having been professionally stripped, treated, and resprayed and the paintwork is in excellent order showing very few blemishes throughout. Reported to run very well indeed, the engine sounds fantastic when on song. Offered with a sizeable history file with many invoices and photographs detailing the restoration, many previous MoT test certificates, various sundry invoices and the current V5 registration document. A fabulous tribute to the infamous Twin-Cam model, this wonderful car is ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale by Bertone Transmission: manual Mileage: 61080The stunning Sprint Speciale coupé directly descended from Carrozzeria Bertone’s brilliant Bertone Aerodynamica Technica (BAT) design studies of the mid-1950s. With its extremely low drag coefficient of 0.29, it was aimed at competition, and a limited number were produced to meet FIA homologation rules.The Speciale utilised lightweight construction that had been built on the chassis of the popular Giulietta Spider, and it came with a domed roofline and gracefully peaked wings. The Giulietta’s sturdy 1300cc, all-alloy, four-cylinder engine was fitted with a pair of Weber sidedraught carburettors, and it could produce a healthy 116 hp. This was enough power to push the slippery two-seater to almost 125 mph, considerably faster than its conventionally bodied Giulietta Sprint coupé and spider siblings. The unique plastic air deflector mounted ahead of the windscreen, which was more commonly seen on competition Ferraris of the era, added to the car’s racy flavour. It is estimated that no more than 1366 Sprint Speciales were produced between 1957 and 1962, in both Giulietta and larger-engined Giulia form.The included copy of the Christies catalogue in which this very pretty, early ‘Sprint Speciale’ car was auctioned in 1992 states that it is one of only four that were officially imported into the UK and is believed to have been imported by Colonel Ronnie Hoare of Maranello Concessionaires, the first UK Ferrari importer blessed by the great Enzo Ferrari himself. Famous for running ‘RU’ number plates on cars he imported and raced, this car was initially registered ‘RU 6’ making it highly likely to have been imported by the great Colonel. The car changed hands regularly throughout the 1960’s, having an engine replacement on 3rd June 1970, before being bought by Paul O’Hanlon in 1971, a great Alfa man, racer and later AROC Competition Secretary. Known as a true ‘70’s’ man when ‘sex was safe and racing was dangerous’, he was a much loved and respected member of the racing scene, particularly in Alfa circles. He later sold the car on to Mr. Robin Redcliffe who spent five years on a full restoration, of which there is a photographic record in the history file. When he sold the car, (in the Christies sale previously mentioned), he retained the number plate ‘3 RBJ’ that had been on the car since 1970 and it became ‘VSK 412’ which it wears to this day. The vendor bought the car post auction in 1992 having toyed with the idea of buying it for several years. He went about showing the car and enjoyed good success with it at concours events until it was put into storage around 1998 as his career started to require him to travel much more.Sadly, a tree branch broke a large hole in the double garage where he was storing the car, (along with the Duetto Spider also in this sale), which caused both cars to slowly fall into a state of disrepair. Whilst the paint shows significant blistering, the car is complete and the interior is in remarkably good condition. The bodywork appears to be very solid, the interior is very good and whilst the car requires recommissioning, it suggests a relatively straightforward restoration.Supplied with its V5C logbook, toolkit, original logbooks, history file, MoT test certificates, magazine articles, restoration photos, concours history, trophies and Guilietta Owners Club magazines. The beautifully presented history file shows the love and care that was given to the car and it was a great sadness for the vendor that its condition deteriorated whilst stored. This Alfa represents a very rare opportunity to restore a former concours winner with a fascinating history and is one not to be missed.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1973 Fiat 130 Coupé Auto Transmission: automatic Mileage: 83000Fiat was never really noted for building large luxury cars so the 130 range was quite a departure compared to their wonderful compact cars. The Coupé, based on the same platform as the saloon, was introduced in March 1971 having been designed by Paolo Martin of Pininfarina, who also manufactured the car. With a unique interior design and stunning looks, it was acclaimed by road testers of the day as the enlarged Lampredi designed 3235cc V6 provided very good performance and the handling was excellent. With only 4000 Coupés produced they are very rare cars but the left hand drive examples are especially regarded having generally been owned in hotter climates and therefore avoiding the ravages of the UK roads and weather.This lovely example is presented in silver metallic with very rare, red full leather interior which is in very good condition. The car was imported into the UK in 2011 and then recommissioned with circa £12,000 spent on it. On the road, this Fiat has a real presence being quite a large car and still manages to entertain the driver as only the Italians can do with road-holding years ahead of its time. Its 3.2 litre engine is smooth and provides plenty of performance for good touring or country road driving. This is surely one of the best examples of this rare Italian marque on the market today.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1985 BMW M635CSi Transmission: manual Mileage: 77849The BMW M635CSi was the brainchild of BMW’s Motorsport department and arrived to the market in 1984. Karmann manufactured the early 6 Series BMWs from launch in 1976 before BMW took production in-house. The engine was a development of the M1 supercar's 3453cc, 24 valve, six cylinder unit producing 286bhp, the increased power necessitating chassis improvements which included altered weight distribution, revised suspension, larger brakes and a limited slip differential. There was also a close ratio five-speed gearbox (or four speed multi-mode auto) and a more luxurious interior, while outwardly this ultimate 6 Series model was readily distinguishable by virtue of its 'M Technic' bodykit. Performance was impressive with the M635CSi capable of reaching 0-62mph in around six seconds on its way to a top speed in excess of 155mph.This fabulous, very rare, early chrome bumper, matching numbers M88 powered manual gearbox 'Shark' comes from a private BMW Car Club member and enthusiast and is a car well known in the Club having been seen at many Club Shows and notably was on the club stand at the NEC Classic Car Show. Presented in probably the best colour combination of Cosmos Blau with Pacific Blue interior with a factory fitted Mtec body kit. In fabulous condition throughout, it sits on period uprated alloy wheels housing uprated 8 Series brakes (original wheels also supplied) and boasting a limited slip differential. Originally registered on 1st August 1985 and delivered locally to Bracknell before selling through BMW Park Lane, this is a highly collectable, excellent example of the rare right hand drive M635 – one of just 524 right hand cars ever produced – and even if you were to buy a poor example, we believe it would cost in excess of £30,000 to reach the quality of this current car. Having purchased the BMW 17 years ago, the owner has amassed an extensive history file detailing the considerable amount of money he has been spent on refurbishing and restoring the car to its current excellent state. In 2009 a full body restoration and repaint was fulfilled by Autospray VSS in Henstridge, Somerset with full photographic evidence of the work included in the history file. In fantastic standard today, it also benefits from an original radio/cassette, Blaupunkt New York SQR83 model and all the electrics are reported to be in working order including sunroof and both front and rear windows. In 2016, with the mileage at 77,470, a full engine rebuild was undertaken by renowned specialists Munich Legends and less than 400 miles has been covered since. Recent works include a new fuel tank and ancillaries in 2019 and clutch and slave cylinder in 2018 together with a recent service this summer coupled to all the brake lines and fuel lines replaced.Garaged and used sparingly, this is a pampered example that we strongly recommend viewing. Accompanying the car is the original owner’s handbook and service book in its original wallet with the latest stamp in 2020 and the original toolkit with history detailing ownership from new. There are also many invoices, a BMW Heritage Certificate, every MoT test certificate going back to 1988 and a current MoT test certificate which expires in March 2022. The car drives extremely well and still feels quick on the open road even by today’s standards and, with just 60 currently registered in the UK and BMW classic prices soaring, this is a fabulous opportunity to snap up a seriously cool BMW M car with a stunning history.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL (3.5 litre) Transmission: automatic Mileage: 28850The Mercedes-Benz W108 and W109 were luxury cars produced from 1965 through to 1972 and 1973 in North America only. The line was an update of the predecessor W111 and W112 fintail saloon. The W108 models were the 280S and 280SE, with production starting in November 1967. These replaced the 250S, 250SE and 300SE, however production of export-designated 250S would continue until March 1969. In January 1968, the model line was joined by yet another car, the 280SEL. The car had the longer wheelbase of the W109, but lacked the expensive and problematic pneumatic suspension and other features of the 300SEL. Hence the chassis code remained W108.Imported from Japan, this lovely very original example is presented in black with grey interior which is half cloth and half MB-Tex. Its smooth and rare 3.5 litre V8 is mated to an automatic gearbox and with its sprung suspension, this model is one of the most desirable for the discerning collector. These luxury saloons were the choice of Embassies and Royalty around the world and were a delight to drive, performing well on those long journeys which ate up the miles effortlessly and in comfort. This particular car us showing a mere 28,850km (17,926 miles) on the odometer. A very nice example indeed and ready for a new custodian.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1998 Porsche 993 Turbo S Transmission: manual Mileage: 45586The Porsche 911 Turbo S was introduced as the first-ever model of its kind in 1997. A big step up over the standard 911 Turbo in terms of performance and price, the Turbo S was 50% more expensive than the Turbo and performance was not far off. Headlined by a 0–60 mph time of 3.6 seconds, the Turbo S could hit 100 mph from a standstill in 8.9 seconds, a half-second faster than the standard Turbo. All 345 examples of the 993 Turbo S were built by Porsche’s Exclusive department and included a number of unique features when compared to other 911s of their generation. The car sported yellow brake callipers, a unique rear spoiler, polished five-spoke Turbo S wheels, an Aerokit front spoiler, an air intake in the rear wings and four exhaust pipes at the rear. Inside, the 911 Turbo S received carbon-fibre trim to contrast the leather interior and to provide the type of luxury that customers had come to know and love from Porsche’s top-shelf models. Of those 345 cars, Porsche only built 26 examples of the 993 Turbo S to RHD specification, purchasing one from new was nigh on impossible unless you knew someone very well within a Porsche dealership. Demand far outweighed supply. Originally registered on 1st August 1998, this beautifully presented 1998 C-25 Turbo S is one of only 26 in right hand drive and has been enjoyed by three former keepers who between them have covered just 45,586 miles. Finished in Guards Red with a stunning black leather interior, it was optioned from new with Automatic Brake Differential (ABD), Limited Slip Differential (LSD), Electric Sport Seats, Litronic headlights, onboard computer, premium sound package and the Interior Carbon Pack which combines leather and carbon on the door trims, steering wheel and handbrake lever. The 993 Turbo models are very collectable and the Turbo S even more so, particularly in this immaculate condition. Their rarity means that these cars seldom become available on the open market and to be expected, they always attract plenty of attention when they do. This delightful example is offered for sale with both sets of keys, the original book pack containing the manuals and service records and reams of invoices, together with a V5C registration document. This is a superb example of a highly desirable and increasingly rare Porsche 911/993 Turbo S.  Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1983 Porsche 911 SC Cabriolet (3.0 Litre) Transmission: manual Mileage: 14218Routinely rated as one of the greatest sports cars of all time, Porsche’s 911 has been the benchmark for more than five decades and interest in early examples has never been stronger. Although the current 991 series is a far cry from that first 911 of 1964, the basic elements - flat-six ‘boxer’ motor mounted behind the rear wheels, sharp steering and excellent handling in a relatively practical (and utterly reliable) package - have never changed. Constant development kept the 911 ahead of its rivals and by the early 1980s, when the example offered here was built, the air-cooled flat six had grown from the original two litres capacity to three litres, the wheelbase increased for better weight distribution and handling and Bosch fuel injection made the engine both more reliable and tractable. All 911s built between 1978 and 1983 were badged as SCs (with S standing for Super and C for Carrera), featuring a Thyssen zinc-coated galvanised bodyshell, updated bodywork with colour-coded headlamp bezels and anodised black door handles and window frames and a host of mechanical improvements. In 1983 Porsche finally unveiled an open-topped version of the 911, known as the Cabriolet, the first fully open sports car to emerge from Stuttgart since the days of the 356. The Cabrio’s floorpan was properly reinforced chassis to ensure the bodyshell remained rigid, while the hood itself was a manual design that cleverly incorporated various steel sheets for additional strength and safety. This was also the final year of the 911 SC model, with previous upgrades including the five-speed Type 915 gearbox, improved brakes and more power from the venerable flat six, thanks to the raised compression ratio of 9.8:1 along with revised Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection settings. The interior came in for some improvements as well, with electric windows and air conditioning now standard equipment. The 911 SC remains the best value 911 of all, offering classic 911 style with bags of performance, robust mechanicals, and outstanding build quality. This stunning right hand drive 1983 Porsche 911 SC Cabriolet was supplied new to the Sultan of Brunei in Malaysia and it is believed to have only covered 14,250 kilometres or less than 9,000 miles from new. The Sultan gave this Porsche to one of his staff and while in Malaysia the colour was changed to red. Imported to the UK in 2019, the new owner set about returning the car to its original specification, this included removing all the panels and repainting the car back to its original colour of white, refreshing the black leather interior, refurbishing the wheels, and fitting new tyres. For the Mechanics it was sent to Caversham Porsche where it was serviced, new oil cooler pipes fitted, new exhaust system and the air conditioning serviced. The service book is stamped with its first service in Malaysia and the recent service here in the UK. This Porsche is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate, the original service book and the invoices for the work carried out in the UK. This well sorted cabriolet is ready to be used and enjoyed, it would be very rare to find one with lower mileage and in such excellent condition. Interested parties should note that a new mph speedo has been fitted to this car and mileage set to match the kilometre clock which was removed and is available to view.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1960 Aston Martin DB4 Series II Transmission: manual Mileage: Launched at the London Motor Show in 1958, the Aston Martin DB4 emphatically demonstrated that a British manufacturer could better the Italians at their own game when it came to constructing the ultimate Gran Turismo. Classically proportioned and instantly recognisable from the moment of its introduction, the Touring-styled DB4 established a look that would survive, with only minor revisions, until 1970. Following in the classic tradition of close-coupled sports saloons, the 3.7-litre DB4 Aston Martin carries orthodox modernity to its highest pitch. A luxurious two-seat saloon which can carry four adults when necessary, it recorded almost 140mph as a two-way mean speed over the measured mile. That the DB4 was able to manifest this rare combination of unrestrained high performance and civilised docility was down to its magnificent engine. A new design by Tadek Marek, the DB4's all alloy, twin overhead camshaft six featured 'square' bore and stroke dimensions of 92mm for a displacement of 3670cc and developed its maximum output of 240bhp at 5,500rpm. The David Brown gearbox was a new four speed all-synchromesh unit. An immensely strong platform-type chassis replaced the DB2/4's multi-tubular space frame, the latter being considered incompatible with Touring's Superleggera body construction that employed its own lightweight tubular structure to support the aluminium-alloy body panels. The DB2/4's trailing link independent front suspension gave way to unequal length wishbones while at the rear the DB4 sported a live axle located by a Watts linkage instead of its predecessor's Panhard rod. The DB4's peerless credentials as a Grand Routier were summed up thus by The Motor: 'Performance, controllability and comfort have been combined in the Aston Martin DB4 to make it a highly desirable car; one in which long journeys can be completed very quickly indeed with the minimum of risk or discomfort and the maximum of pleasure.' Manufactured between October 1958 and June 1963, the DB4 developed through no fewer than five series.This DB4 was originally sold to Mr. R. G. Lawrence in Norwich by Aston Martin dealers Brooklands of Bond Street, London on 17th August 1960. It was then sold to Mr. Hudson-Morley in Leeds who then sold it to Mr. Boxston in Bath. After that, records show that the car was bought by father and son, Mr. Alain and Laurent De Clercq in France where it remained for a number of years. Whilst in Mr. De Clercq’s ownership, much work was carried out by Atelier de L’Artisan, owned by Frederic DeLaere, between 2012 and 2015, invoices for which are included in the history file. It was subsequently registered in the UK on 22nd March 2016 with the registration number it bears today. The history file contains a record of invoices detailing all work carried out each year from 2016 to 2019 by Aston Martin Works in Newport Pagnell which totals £38,942. Copies of photos of some of the work are also included in the file. The wonderful red leather interior is original and in very good condition and the present owner had the 1960 rear windscreen removed and replaced with a bespoke new one to include a built in aerial for the original radio which is in 100% working order. He also had some modern internal work completed to bring it up to today’s standard including converting the electrical system to negative earth at a cost in excess of £6,000, all whilst retaining the original aesthetics. The exterior paintwork, in iconic Aston Martin Metallic Green, is in exemplary condition. This fabulous example of the iconic British sports car is still stunningly beautiful and the sound of the straight six engine howling through the country roads is addictive. Without doubt this is a splendid example of one of Newport Pagnell’s finest designs.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1998 Porsche 996 C2 Transmission: Mileage: 111000The Porsche 996 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 model manufactured and sold between 1998 and 2005. On its debut, the 996 featured the most significant changes to the Carrera model since its 1963 introduction, namely the water-cooled engine replacing the previously air-cooled unit. Progressively stringent noise regulations, environmental concerns, a higher expectation for refinement and a high-performance, four-valve per cylinder engine made the switch necessary. Other changes included a sleeker body with a more steeply raked windshield and a re-designed interior.This very tidy example is presented in Zenith Blue with grey leather interior and comes with a full main dealership service history which is so rare with these cars. These early cars don't have fly by wire but cables which is more desirable. The last service was carried out in January 2020 at 109,913 miles and it comes with virtually all invoices and a fully stamped service book which is also extremely important and reassuring for any prospective purchaser. The car has air conditioning, satellite navigation, CD player, sports seats, six-speed gearbox, 18” wheels and comes with two sets of keys and all its original factory books. The previous owner replaced the clutch at 75,000 miles and it has been meticulously maintained and serviced throughout its life, thus it is now being presented in such great condition.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 Mercedes-Benz 350SL Transmission: manual Mileage: 149764The Mercedes R107 was launched in 1971 and production continued through to 1989 - a hefty 18 years; the longest single series ever produced by the firm besides the G-Class utility vehicle. The R107 replaced the W113 Pagoda SL in 1972 and was replaced by the R29 SL in 1989. Some 237,000 R107 SL's were built and about two thirds were sold in the U.S. The car was essentially a two-seater sports car although a small seating arrangement was available behind the front seats. Mercedes-Benz offered a number of engine choices over the years, the first cars in 1971 being fitted with the 350 engine, a V8 3.5-litre unit. By 1973 a larger 4.5-litre, V8 was available, constructed primarily for the U.S. market. The SL Roadster has since become the epitome of how a luxury roadster should look and is as popular today as when first launched.This lovely example was first registered on 10th February 1972 and is presented in the rare colour combination of aqua blue over a deep blue leather interior. Offered with what many would consider to be the best combination for an R107 Mercedes, a 3.5 litre engine mated to a manual gearbox with the rare jump seats at the rear.The vendor reports that this 350SL is in good order throughout, treated to a restoration some time ago the chrome work presents well and shows little sign of age, as does the paintwork which is in fine order. Recently fitted with a new deep blue hood and correct carpets as well as a Bluetooth audio streaming system built into the period Becker head unit. The Mercedes is offered with a history file detailing previous maintenance work, various MoT test records, sundry invoices, and a V5C registration document. Accompanied by the SL's desirable factory hardtop for winter months, this 350SL is offered at a very attractive price and is the perfect summer drop-top for its new custodian, especially when considering the recent prices achieved for R107 models.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1992 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo 1 Transmission: manual Mileage: 125170The Lancia Delta was first shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1979. The Delta is best known for its World Rally Championship career in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when it dominated. The first Evoluzione cars were built at the end of 1991 and through 1992. These were to be the final homologation cars for the Lancia Rally Team; the Catalytic Evoluzione II was never rallied by the factory. In order to improve the handling, the Evoluzione had a wider track front and rear than earlier Deltas. In order to enclose this track in the bodywork, the wide arches were extended even further and in the process also became more rounded. The front strut top mounts were also raised in height in the quest for more grip: this then necessitated a front strut brace to control the forces thus generated. External changes included new grilles in the front bumper to improve the air intake for engine compartment, a redesigned bonnet with new lateral air slats to further assist under bonnet ventilation, an adjustable roof spoiler above the tailgate to assist in competition, new five-bolt wheels derived from the rally cars and, finally, the rear of the car was changed with only one exhaust pipe now showing. The new Integrale retained the four-wheel drive layout; an epicyclical centre diff with torque splitter, Ferguson viscous coupling and Torsen rear differential. The engine, although technically the same as the earlier 16V cars, was remapped to give 210bhp at 5750rpm. These improvements were aimed at, and did change, the car’s handling potential, with the new car being able to travel 5% faster over rally sections both tarmac and gravel. The result was even greater driver confidence when driving in normal road conditions.This superb and very collectable example of this rare marque is presented in the equally rare exterior colour of metallic Madras Blue with grey Alcantara interior. The paintwork is superb and the interior is in equally wonderful condition which belies its age and mileage. The car comes with its original Lancia wallet together with the original sales brochure and all the Lancia Delta books. A great history file accompanies this Italian beauty including an A4 folder containing many old receipts and various other documents including a Certificate of Conformity from Fiat UK. It is supplied with an MoT test certificate which expires on 8th March 2022 and, as can be seen from the service history, has the benefit of its belts being serviced at 123,586 kms. The colour combination of this car clearly makes it stand out from the rest of these rare examples and would be great on any European rally or show including the Italian Car Day at Brooklands Museum in July this year. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1983 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Transmission: automatic Mileage: 34176The Mercedes-Benz SL (Sport Leicht) has been in production since 1954. This second generation evolved from the 230SL to 250SL, finally becoming the 280SL. The SL improved through the years with technical innovation but still managed to keep its fundamental character and identity of an up-market, quality sports car. Its reputation went from strength to strength and it was rare to see an episode of Dallas or Dynasty in the 1980's without an SL making a star appearance. The impressive soft-top mechanism which folds down out of sight under a panel ahead of the boot lid gave the car a beautifully sleek, uncluttered appearance.This early version of the iconic Mercedes-Benz R107 roadster was registered in 1983 and shows only 34,176 miles on the clock. The history file contains a fully documented service and maintenance record with works completed by Mercedes-Benz authorised dealers and most recently marque specialist John Haynes. Also present is an impressive MoT test history with every certificate dating back to 1988.The current MoT test certificate is valid until February 2022. This Mercedes-Benz presents well in light ivory and a classic cream check interior and is fitted with a factory hardtop, a tracking system and fire extinguisher. Offered to auction with its original manuals and handbooks and a V5C registration document this wonderful low mileage example should be considered a sound investment given the current prices and popularity of the model.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2007 Freightliner Custom Transmission: automatic Mileage: 192666Freightliner Trucks is an American truck manufacturer based in Portland Oregon and founded in 1929 as the truck-manufacturing division of Consolidated Freightways (from which it derives its name). The company was established in 1942 as Freightliner Corporation. Owned by Daimler AG since 1981, Freightliner is a part of Daimler subsidiary Daimler Trucks North America and produces a range of vans, medium-duty trucks, and heavy-duty trucks under its Freightliner Custom Chassis subsidiary, the company produces bare chassis and cutaway chassis for multiple types of vehicles.This behemoth of a custom-built Freightliner truck is as rare as it is large. Presenting well in black over black, this is possibly the biggest truck ever offered by Historics. We are told that this impressive Freightliner is built on a twin wheel truck body and has benefitted from an expensive list of upgrades that includes £9,000 on wheels and tyres, a roll bar, custom side skirts, and a light bar. The interior includes electrically adjusted seats sourced from an M Series BMW and air suspension. Registered as a breakdown truck, this vehicle is exempt from road tax and offers a fantastic marketing opportunity or just amazing fun. Difficult to miss and offered at a fraction of the cost to build.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1969 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL Transmission: automatic Mileage: 67595The Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3 began as a private venture by Mercedes-Benz employee Erich Waxenberger in 1966. The idea of placing a large powerful sports car engine in a saloon is still very popular today as can be seen with the current Mercedes-Benz range; indeed, the 6.3 capacity V8 engine is still in use today, albeit many generations on from the W 109 SEL. Waxenberger's theory was simple - take the powerful 6.3 litre V8 Mercedes-Benz M100 engine from the luxurious Mercedes-Benz 600 Limousine and fit it into the regular Mercedes-Benz W 109 S-Class model which, at the time, only had six-cylinder engines. The result was a nearly two-tonne saloon with performance similar to the most prestigious sports cars of the era. This right hand drive 300 SEL was manufactured in 1969 and imported from Australia in 2016.The vendor purchased this rare Mercedes in September 2018 following an interior refurbishment the previous year. During his tenure this handsome Mercedes has benefitted from renovation work to the radiator, water pump and cooling system. A total of £16,000 has been spent on the car in the last 4 years. A recent mechanical appraisal has unfortunately identified a burnt out starter motor and the requirement of a new head gasket. Due to a change in circumstance the owner has decided not to proceed with the works and has reluctantly entered the car for auction. Presented for sale with a UK V5C registration document and offered without reserve. A delight to drive, these luxury saloons were the choice of Embassies and Royalty around the world and, with reasonable expenditure, this Mercedes could be enjoyed once more.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1968 Maserati Quattroporte Series II Transmission: manual Mileage: 79578The Quattroporte was introduced at the October/November 1963 Turin Motor Show, where a pre-production prototype was on the Maserati stand next to the Mistral coupé. Regular production began in 1964. The Tipo 107 Quattroporte joined two other grand tourers, the Facel Vega and the Lagonda Rapide and was capable of travelling at 124mph on the new motorways in Europe. It was equipped with a 4.1 litre, V8 engine, producing 260hp at 5000rpm and either a five-speed ZF manual transmission or a three-speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox on request. In 1966, Maserati revised the Tipo 107, adding the twin headlights already used on the U.S. model. A leaf-sprung solid axle took place of the previous De Dion tube. The interior was completely redesigned including the dashboard which now had a full width wood trimmed fascia.As detailed by the Maserati certification AM1072400 was originally produced at the Maserati factory on 31st October 1969. This very rare factory right hand drive manual example was delivered new to Australia and originally in Luci di Mezzanotte with white leather trim. Now presented in blue coachwork with complementary blue leather luxury trim and stunning walnut veneer. Little of the cars early history is known, it is believed to have been owned by a Mr. Huntley from 1984 to 1998 when he sold the car with the House of Maserati in Sydney, Australia to a Bob Burnes who carried out an initial body restoration before selling in early 2012 to a Maserati collector who completed an engine rebuild, all of which is detailed in the history file. In 2014, Oldtimer Australia purchased the car and enlisted Autodelta to compile a full inspection and rectify any minor issues before servicing, Oldtimer Australia then sold the car to our vendor, a successful collector and businessman in aviation who is the current custodian of a modest collection of classic cars.Our vendor who has high standards for his cars sent the car to Joe Macari for servicing when it arrived and some remedial work in 2015 before he commissioned the well-respected classic car specialist, Adam Redding to recommission and further finish the car to his exacting standards. Between 2015 and 2016 a further £30,000 plus was spent and the car thus now is in fine fettle indeed, often seen gracing the streets of West London turning heads as it goes. A fabulous opportunity to own a stylish well restored icon of the 60’s. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2005 Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG Transmission: automatic Mileage: 43677The C55 signified a return to AMG’s V8 roots, after barely a three-year flirtation with a supercharged V6. AMG found 8,100 homes for the C32, but the AMG engineers seemed much happier when there was a serious, big-capacity, naturally aspirated 5.4 litre V8 powering the meatiest C-Class and the badge was there too – just to ensure the owners didn’t forget. It wasn’t the performance; AMG claimed 5.2 seconds to 62mph for both C55 and C32, or even the transformation to a deep, wonderfully muscular exhaust note, but the makeover in the dynamics that stood the new sports saloon apart. The C55 marked a small, but perceptible, shift towards a sharper, more sporting focus, that set it closer to the M3 than any previous AMG hotrod C-Class.This example of this rare brute of a car with very low mileage is presented in silver with black leather interior and was imported by our vendor, a modern classic collector, in 2020 from Japan. Importantly, it comes with a full history file with no less than 17 service stamps, the last under 500 miles ago. UK registered, it is offered with a V5C and MoT until January 2022 and with the values of the earlier Cosworth-inspired super sports Mercedes rocketing well into six figures, this pure-blood AMG super saloon in the lightweight C-Class bodyshell is already a collectible and this is one of the very best we have seen.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1957 Simca Aronde Plein Ciel Transmission: manual Mileage: The Aronde was the first model to be made that was not Fiat based and quickly became a big hit for Simca. Many versions of the Aronde were made but the Plein Ciel was one of the sportier models. The Plein Ciel meaning ‘open air’ due to its airy cockpit which was made for a fashion-conscious market; designed to be stylish, yet affordable, around the town cars. So stylish, in fact, that apparently Bridget Bardot, the French actress and model, owned one. Both cars had bodywork redesigned by Facel Vega, many of your will have probably noticed the similarities with the HK500, who had been building bodies for Simca since the 8 Sport in 1951.This 1957 Facel Vega bodied Simca Plein Ciel was supplied by Aronde Division, 7 Rue Louis-David, Paris. It was delivered new to a Monsieur Miguel Guzman who, according to the original documents, lived on the world-famous Champs-Élysées. Due to work commitments he emigrated to Mexico in 1961 and took the car with him. This unusual and rare Simca was subsequently sold and imported to the UK by our vendor and although it was a sound example it was due to undergo a full restoration. Our vendor however has too many projects and has opted instead for the auction route and we are pleased he has. Supplied to auction with a V5C registration document, 166 XVP is an opportunity to purchase a very rare piece of automotive history. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1991 Porsche 928 GT Transmission: manual Mileage: 122338Critics immediately recognised the advances inherent in the 928 over the 911 and it was universally praised as one of the greatest GT cars of all time. It handled, it was quick, it looked fantastic, and it was comfortable. With the 928, Porsche created a serious long-distance grand-touring car that could also tackle twisting B roads with ease thanks to super direct steering, fifty-fifty weight distribution and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted. Many road testers found that their nerve ran out long before the 928’s grip. Porsche continuously developed the 928 throughout its production life, culminating with the launch of the S4 in 1987 which differed slightly from the earlier cars with its smoothed-off front and rear bumpers, larger rear spoiler, more interior equipment, and a five litre version of the V8 engine developing 316bhp. 1989 saw further development with the launch of the GT model, featuring a more powerful five litre engine creating 326bhp, but more importantly, the introduction of a five-speed manual gearbox for those who wanted a sportier driving experience.This lovely, rare right hand drive Porsche 928 GT is fitted with the desirable five-speed ‘dog-leg’ manual gearbox and has recently been repainted and the leather seats repadded. The cambelts and diff lock pump were replaced in 2018, less than 500 miles ago. The car has also just been serviced and completely gone through, approximately £10,000 has been spent on this Porsche over the last three years. Looking resplendent in black with black leather interior, this 928 GT is supplied with a V5 registration document and has an MoT test certificate which expires in 2022. It is believed that only 38 right hand drive, manual 928 GTs were supplied to the UK market making this one of the rarest Porsches that any collector or enthusiast could own.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1975 Triumph Stag Transmission: automatic Mileage: 25568The ‘Stag’ name was a development codename allocated when the design project was initiated by Giovanni Michelotti in 1965. None of the subsequent names suggested through the process were ever deemed more compelling, 55 years later, the Triumph Stag still occupies one of the cornerstones of the collector’s car market. The svelte Michelotti styling married to decadent V8 power makes this model both beautiful to look at and enormous fun to drive. Add to that a thriving club network, these cars make for hugely desirable ownership.Fresh from an eight year passion project restoration carried out by a retired automotive painter, this Stag has been finished to a very high standard with no stone left unturned. The history file shows over £6,000 spent in parts and panels alone, along with a further £4,000 spent on an engine rebuild by renowned Stag specialist N&P Motors. This, of course, doesn’t include the many hours labour the vendor worked on the car himself, which would have run into thousands of pounds if carried out by a restoration business. The engine has covered barely 500 miles since its total rebuild, also benefitting from many of its ancillary components being rebuilt or replaced at the same time, such as the addition of a new updated Mk. II radiator.Whilst the car had already been restored in the early 90’s, by the time the vendor acquired the car in 2011 it required attention to the bodywork and so a total restoration began. With the help of the well respected motorcycle and classic car restorer Glen Moody, every panel showing any sign of rust was repaired or replaced before being given a bare metal respray in its original and desirable colour of Topaz Orange. Taking three months to complete the welding alone, the car benefitted from new door skins, outer sills and membrane, all four outriggers, two floor panels, the boot floor, the front and back valances, the valance lip, the two rear wings and their inner wheel arches. Equal attention was paid to the interior, with the dash being re-veneered at a reported cost of £500. The seats and headrests also received sympathetic attention and the hood was replaced at the same time. New chrome bumpers along with freshly refurbished wheels and many other details all help this car stand out from the crowd. Reported to run and drive without fault, it starts and sounds beautiful with that newly rebuilt V8 rumbling away.  Supplied with its UK V5C registration document, previous MoT test certificates, many receipts from both its most recent restoration and its previous one, as well as its factory hardtop which boasts a heated screen. A rare opportunity to acquire a freshly restored, solid, late model Stag in the most desirable colour. Surely one of the best.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

For further examples of roundels of this type, displaying a varying numbers of symbols, see B Jackson and D Hughes, 'Ladder to the Clouds', Berkeley, 1999, pp. 286-9.
