Lot 102

1980 Land Rover 109 Stage One V8- Ultra rare series 3 stage one V8- Been treated to £4500 of refurbishment- Fitted with parbolic springs and said to be soild and reliable Niche models generally have added attraction for collectors and it's no surprise they appear to be hanging on to Series III Stage One V8 long wheelbase Land Rovers, only just over 100 of which are thought to remain road legal. The unmolested, matching numbers example offered is finished in White matched to Black vinyl interior trim and tilt. Prior to the vendor's purchase from a Milton Keynes policeman in 2012, it benefited for a fresh camshaft and timing chain, and has since been treated to £4500 of refurbishment that included new hubs, master cylinder and parabolic springs. No lover of 'trailer queens', the vendor classes 'GOX 548W' as 'solid and reliable' and regards the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and fourwheel-drive transmission as all being in 'good' order. With Land Rover itself offering a brand new V8 Defender in celebration of its 70th anniversary, 'GOX 548W' is a topical offering.

Lot 105

1940 Studebaker Champion Coupe- Reportedly resident in Portugal from new until 2015- Understood to have professional " nut and bolt " restoration - Engine,gearbox,bodywork,paintwork,interior and electrical descrivbed as excellent By the late 1930s Studebaker's sales were in sharp decline but rather than cut costs the management gambled everything on a clean sheet design. Launched in April 1939, the resultant Champion was the lightest car in its class. The Indiana-based company's engineers had acquired models from four domestic and four foreign competitors and meticulously stripped them to see where weight could be saved. Equipped with a 2700cc straight-six engine, manual transmission, independent front suspension and hydraulic drum brakes, the Champion could reputedly return almost 33mpg (a figure no rival could match). The first Studebaker to be penned by Raymond Loewy's renowned industrial design studio, initial variants comprised a four-door Cruising Sedan, two-door Club Sedan or three-passenger Coupe. Stealing a march on America's `Big Three' manufacturers, the Champion returned Studebaker to profitability.Finished in Tan with Tan / Brown upholstery, this left-hand drive example is described by the vendor as `excellent' with regard to its engine, gearbox, bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment and interior trim. Reportedly resident in Portugal from new until being imported to the UK in 2015-16, the Studebaker is further understood to have been treated to a professional `nut and bolt' restoration and to `drive superbly'. A decidedly rare sight on British roads, it is worthy of close inspection.

Lot 112

1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Speedster PLEASE NOTE: We have been contacted by David Titchener to say that he bought this lot new from Dick Lovett of Swindon and had it registered as 'THE 89S' (The '89 Speedster) PLEASE NOTE: We have been informed by the vendor's family that this lot retains its original front tyres. Apparently, the rear tyres were only replaced in April 2012 because of a nasty cut to the nearside one. They believe that the presence of the original front tyres lends further credibility to the odometer reading of 17,500 miles. PLEASE NOTE: This lot is now registered with the DVLA under the number plate 'G542 TTV' - 1 of just 64 UK-supplied (C16 specification) examples  - Factory-fitted with 'Turbo look' bodywork and electrically adjustable sports seats - 17,500 recorded miles, original Blaupunkt Toronto stereo, tyre compressor and tool kit Given the 356 Speedster's cult status, it seems amazing that Porsche took twenty-five years to launch a similarly minimalist drop-top 911. Brainchild of Peter Schutz and Helmuth Bott (the company's then President and Technical Director respectively), the Carrera 3.2 Speedster was visually distinguished from its Cabriolet sibling by a bespoke, more steeply raked aluminium-framed windscreen, simplified hood hidden beneath a distinctive `double hump' moulded polyurethane tonneau cover, lower slung sports seats and frameless side windows. The work of in-house stylist Tony Lapine, its distinctive lines were enhanced still further by the option of `Turbo-look' bodywork (which also entailed uprated suspension and brake components). A strict two-seater unlike the rest of the 911 range, it was powered by a 3164cc flat-six engine allied to the preferred G50 five-speed manual transmission. Living up to its name, the Speedster was capable of 0-60mph in 6 seconds and 152mph. Although previewed as a concept car at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show, the model did not enter production until January 1989. Notable as the last 911 variant to be derived from the same basic bodyshell as the 1963 original, the Carrera 3.2 Speedster was also the final 911 to be assembled at the old Zuffenhausen factory. Known internally as Option M503, the last of 2,104 examples rolled off the production line during July 1989. All but 171 customers specified the more dramatic `Turbo-look' bodywork with America and Germany proving the biggest markets. Of the 129 right-hand drive Speedsters made, just 64 were to UK `C16' specification. Embracing the less is more philosophy, Porsche charged a not insubstantial premium for the Speedster despite terming its roof a `rain hat' and demanding that original purchasers sign a disclaimer as to water and wind ingress! One of the sixty-four UK cars, chassis WPOZZZ91ZKS151277 was built to the following specification: Impact absorbers front and rear (058), Blaupunkt Toronto Radio Cassette player (330), Sports seat left, electric height adjustment (383), Sports seat right, electric height adjustment (387), Front and rear spoiler delete - i.e. none fitted (470), Turbo-look bodywork (491), Amplifier (494), Luggage compartment velour carpet (975), Guards Red paint (L80K) and Cashmere Beige upholstery (LC). First road registered as `THE 89S' on August 1st 1989, it had had three previous keepers prior to entering the current ownership twenty years ago the last of whom was Christopher Nowicki of Loughborough. Although, the vendor's ill health means that the low recorded mileage of 17,500 cannot be warranted, it certainly appears correct. Factory stickers are still present in the door jamb and under the luggage compartment lid. Pleasingly retaining its original engine and running well during our recent photography visit, we could not discern any sign of previous accident damage or repair. Maintained in-house by the owner's ex-Holbay mechanic, the Speedster still carries its original space saver spare wheel (with unused Vredstein tyre), Porsche plug-in air compressor, jack, tool roll and Blaupunkt stereo (complete with instructions). Issued with an `advisory free' MOT certificate which runs until January 2nd 2019, the two-seater is currently undergoing a cherished number plate transfer. Rare, desirable and coming to market for the first time since 1998, this seemingly low mileage `C16' Speedster is worthy of close inspection.

Lot 113

1932 Invicta 12/45 Saloon- Original Buff logbook from post-war period- Comprehensive history file- Said to be only one of two remainingSeeking something constructive to do following WWI, Hugh Eric Orr-Ewing and Noel Campbell Macklin established, in quick succession, the Eric-Campbell and Silver Hawk marques. However, neither satisfied the restless Macklin who (financed by Earl Fitzwilliam and the Lyle brothers of sugar fame) then created the rakishly-British Invicta brand. No stranger to marketing, Macklin organised for his attractive sister-in-law Violette Cordery to head an endurance test at Monza, at which four international and 33 Italian records were broken. 1930 brought the 4.5 Litre S-Type model with which Donald Healey had great success in the Alpine and Monte Carlo rallies and Raymond Mays set records at Brooklands and Shelsley Walsh. However, largely as a result of the Wall Street crash, Invicta ceased trading in 1933 and Macklin went on to create the Railton marque with Reid Railton.The Invicta now offered is a rare survivor of the 1.5 model introduced in 1932 in an attempt to widen the marque's appeal. Indeed, 'EK 8896' appears to be one of just two Saloon-bodied examples remaining, which is probably due in no small part to its first owner's lengthy retention - a story documented in the January 1949 issue of Motor Sport. Subsequent keepers include one the very first vintage car collectors and ERA owner Dudley Gahagan and, more recently, former Invicta club registrar Duncan McGregor, during whose tenure 'EK 8896' shared a garage with Mays's aforementioned Shelsey and Brooklands record breaking car. The sale car's files document most of it post-war history and include: some lovely shots of it at Oulton park in the '50s, various bills, owners reports regarding work undertaken, and an original buff log book from the post-war period. With 4.5 Litre examples now in the £1-2million bracket, 'EK 8896' is a relatively affordable route to acquiring a rare survivor of the Invicta marque.

Lot 120

1973 Iso Fidia- One of only 16 RHD produced- Original UK car- Engine and transmission described as excellent by vendorThe striking Giorgetto Giugiaro-penned Fidia was the only four-door model produced by Iso Automoveicoli SpA, 192 of which were manufactured between 1967 and 1975. The sales material carried the slogan 'le quattro poltrone piu veloce del mondo' - 'the four fastest seats in the world'. The luxurious interior was notable for its polished wood and hand-stitched leather, but high development costs pushed the purchase price above that of a contemporaneous Rolls-Royce. Not that this deterred the rich and famous - the second example was purchased by John Lennon. Early versions were powered by 5.4-litre Chevrolet powerplants, and later ones by Ford 5.7-litre units driving through ZF manual transmissions or Ford 'Cruise-O-Matic' automatic gearboxes.Only 16 Fidias were reputedly equipped with righthand drive, of which seven were Ford powered and few remain, making the sale car rare by any standards. Finished in the stylish combination of Mid Metallic Blue bodywork and Champagne-coloured hide interior trim, 'SVX 895M' was manufactured in July 1973 with the additional options of a large capacity sump, oil cooler, electronic ignition, power steering, automatic transmission, Michelin tyres, seat belts and electric sunroof. It was imported into the UK by Lancia dealers Wood and Krailing. Among its four previous keepers are the importing dealership and Chris Lackner, the UK President of the Iso & Bizzarrini Owners' Club. Now displaying some 54,000 miles, the Fidia has been treated to several desirable upgrades in recent years, including the substitution of alloy cylinder heads and the later Ford AOD automatic transmission, while the suspension has been overhauled and vented brake discs installed. This rare, rapid and sumptuous GT car is currently viewed by the vendor as having 'excellent' engine and transmission and 'very good' bodywork, paintwork and interior trim, and is now offered complete with quality McIntosh sound system, Nardi steering wheel and MOT to September 14.

Lot 125

1972 Covin 911 Evocation- c.1600 miles since body off rebuild in 2012, correctly registered as GPC Coupe- McQueen Slate Grey with Black 993 electric leather seats, Revolution wheels- 1600cc VW engine, Empi exhaust, twin Weber 34ict carburettorsThis most convincing looking evocation was subject to a body-off overhaul by a previous owner in 2012 including a new floor and tunnel, new shock absorbers, brake pipes, steering and suspension joints. Correctly registered as a GPC Coupe (Grand Performance Cars having taken over Covin) it has covered just c.1600 miles since. Finished in McQueen Slate Grey (resprayed 2011) with black leather interior, the car's specification includes: VW 1600cc air-cooled twin port engine breathing through 'new this year' twin Weber 34ict carburettors with CB Performance twin port inlets and balance pipe and new CSP bell crank carb linkage, electric fuel pump, sump plate, 'new this year' EMPI loud dual exhaust system plus manifold with extended stainless steel tailpipes, 993 black leather electric seats, Momo steering wheel, Porsche dials, 12v socket, electric windows, Sony stereo/CD, chrome dress up parts to engine bay, fire extinguisher etc. The headlining and carpets are described as "excellent" whilst the rare Revolution alloys are shod with matching tyres all round. Accompanied by a Swansea V5C and current MoT to 6 June 2018, it is said to turn heads wherever it goes.

Lot 127

1970 Morris Mini Cooper S MKII- Said to be extremely original apart from replacement of front wings- 1275cc, rare reclining seats option, previous long-term ownership- Blue / White with Black interior, V5C documentThe value of classic Minis has rocketed in recent years, and whereas a while ago enthusiasts were busy modifying them to taste today's predominant requirement is for examples that have either been professionally restored or remain unmolested. 'CLR 326H' falls into the latter category and is believed to be highly original save for replacement front wings. The vendor presently grades the A Series engine and manual gearbox as 'very good', the bodywork and Black interior trim as 'good', and the White over Blue paintwork as 'average', as there is some evidence of micro-blistering. The Cooper has reputedly been owned by a doctor for some 22 of its 48 years. Somewhere along the way, the rest of its history has been mislaid so the car's only accompanying paperwork is the current V5. The mighty Mini's specification includes reclining front seats and the odometer currently displays just 9,709 (unwarranted) miles.

Lot 13

1980 Innocenti Mini de Tomaso- Rare high-performance Mini derivative styled by Bertone- The least expensive way into De Tomaso ownership!- Extensively restored by its previous keeper and part of a private collection since 2000`We found it irresistible; an engaging little car with an on-the-road performance as chirpy as its appearance . . . there would surely be a market for it as a cult-car appealing both to chic-about-town Chelsea-ites, and "bring-back the Cooper S" enthusiasts' (Motor magazine reviewing the Innocenti Mini de Tomaso)British Leyland's Italian subsidiary Innocenti unveiled a radically reworked three-door hatchback version of the Mini at the 1974 Turin Salon. Styled by Bertone, the newcomer could be had in 90L (998cc, 43bhp) or 120L (1275cc, 63bhp) guises but was powerless to prevent its British parent company's bankruptcy the following year. Snapped up by automotive entrepreneur Alejandro de Tomaso, Innocenti introduced a high-performance version named after him at the 1976 Turin Salon. Boasting some 71bhp (74bhp from 1978 onwards), four-speed manual transmission and dry rubber cone independent suspension, it handled and went like a Cooper S but looked rather more modern thanks to its moulded plastic bumpers, flared wheelarches, alloy wheels and prominent bonnet scoop.Finished in Metallic Black with Beige cloth upholstery, this particular left-hand drive example is variously rated by the vendor as `average' (interior trim), `good' (1275cc engine, gearbox, electrical equipment) or `very good' (bodywork, paintwork). Reportedly extensively restored by its previous owner who also entered it for car club sprints, the Innocenti has formed part of a private collection since 2000. Sparingly used over the past eighteen years and showing an unwarranted 91,000km to its odometer, this rare Mini is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document showing two former keepers since its importation during 1991 and MOT certificate valid until August 2018.

Lot 134

1967 Ford Mustang GT Convertible- 1 of just 283 Ford Mustang Convertibles to be finished in Nightmist Blue with Black bucket seats during the 1967 model year- Highly desirable and rare specification includes 289ci (4.7 litre) V8 engine, factory four-speed manual gearbox and the GT Equipment Group option- Marti Report included, circa £2,500 worth of invoices from Mustang Maniacs and a fresh MOTJust about the sportiest `small block' Mustang Convertible that money could buy during the 1967 model year (with the exception of the unicorn K-Code cars), chassis 7T03A118116 was built with a 289ci (4.7 litre) A-Code V8 engine, four-speed manual transmission and the prized GT Equipment Group option: grille mounted fog lamps, power front disc brakes, dual exhausts, GT fuel cap, handling package, rocker panel stripes and GT emblems etc. One of only 283 soft-tops to be finished in Nightmist Blue with Black bucket seats that season (regardless of engine / gearbox choice), it was completed at Ford's Metuchen plant on October 3rd 1966 and supplied new via Robin Ford of Glenolden, Pennsylvania. Sourced by the vendor from Georgia after a long search, the four-seater also boasts a power hood and air conditioning. Featuring a `garage door' centre console and concealed stereo with Bluetooth phone adapter, the seller tells us that `AKX 254E drives incredibly well and starts immediately after the mandatory six pumps'. Presentable but not perfect, the paintwork is microblistered in places, this decidedly rare and appealing muscle car is offered for sale with c.£2,500 worth of receipts from Mustang Maniacs and a fresh MOT certificate. Go find another! Faced with increasing competition from the likes of the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Charger, Ford opted to comprehensively re-style its class-leading Mustang for the 1967-model year. Sporting a jutting grille, concave rear panel and widened sheetmetal, the newcomer was not only more visually imposing than its predecessor but also able to accommodate larger `big block' engines. Faster in a straight line than their `small block' siblings, the heavier powerplants inevitably lost out in the handling stakes. Steve McQueen as Lieutenant Frank Bullitt may have been faster in a '67 Shelby GT350 but looked oh so cool in his 390 GT Fastback!

Lot 15

1973 Vanden Plas Princess 1300- Registering less than 16,000 miles from new, recent brake overhaul- Teal Blue with Beige leather interior, automatic transmission- Unrepeatable time-warp example with current MoT to April 2018Acquired by BMC in 1946 the firm of Vanden Plas, which could trace its roots back as far as 1870, had earned an enviable reputation as a coachbuilder chiefly known for its work on Bentley, Lagonda and Rolls-Royce chassis prior the Second World War. By the late 1950s the company was engaged in adding luxury fittings to a range of Austin-Morris models produced by BMC. In 1963, the ADO16 range of saloons began to be upgraded culminating in the lavishly equipped Vanden Plas 1300 Princess as offered here. Leather upholstery, wood veneer, a distinctive radiator grille and special badging distinguished these VDP examples, whilst the 1.3-litre twin carburettor engine shared with the MG models developed some 65bhp, resulting in a 90mph top speed.This time-warp automatic transmission example registers less than 16,000 miles (just 15,658 at the time of cataloguing) from new, having mostly been in storage since 1981. Originally sold new in Scotland, the car recently benefited from a brake overhaul and the fitment of new tyres. Finished attractively in Teal Blue with Beige interior, WRS 866L appears ready to show and comes with an old-style Swansea V5 document, 1981 MoT certificate at 14,197 miles and a current MoT with no advisories. Arguably the most desirable model variation of its type, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire such an original and well-preserved example.

Lot 150

1956 MG A 1500 Roadster- One of only 210 RHD examples built in 1955- Very original and mostly unrestored- Red with Black interiorThe Syd Enever-designed MGA was a breath of fresh air for the Abingdon marque, as it replaced the last of the venerable T Series cars, whose origins dated all the way back to the TA of 1936. Launched at the 1955 Frankfurt Motor Show, it featured a separate chassis penned by Roy Brocklehurst and was powered by the 1489cc straight-four BMC B Series engine. Suspension was independent with coil springs at the front and by live axle hung on semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear. Braking was by Lockheed drums all-round, and steering was by rack and pinion.This largely unrestored matching numbers UK market RHD example is one of just 210 cars produced in 1955 and was first registered on 23 March 1956. Originally finished in Mineral Blue, at some point it has been resprayed red. In previous long-term ownership, the vendor recently acquired the car but due to having too many demands on his time from other cars in his collection has decided to reoffer it for sale. Featuring good panel gaps although requiring attention to the cosmetics, this desirable home market car appears to be in very original condition aside from the colour change. The updated Swansea V5C document has now been received from the DVLA and will be forwarded to the successful purchaser. A rare opportunity to acquire an original righthand drive MGA in unmolested condition.

Lot 16

1959 Austin-Healey 3000 MKI- 1 of just 2,825 two-seater cars made- Matching chassis, engine and body numbers- BMIHT Certificate, highly presentable, overdrive and full weather equipmentA significant step in terms of 'Big Healey' evolution and foundation block for one of the 1960s' most charismatic rally cars, the 3000 MKI was introduced in March 1959. Capable of nearly 120mph, it was powered by an enlarged 2912cc version of the BMC C-Series straight-six engine that developed some 124bhp and 167lbft of torque. Although, equipped with a similar chassis design to its 100/6 forebear, the new model enjoyed notably better braking thanks to the adoption of Girling front discs. Fitted with wire wheels and adjustable front seats as standard, it was available in two-seater (BN7) or 2+2 (BT7) guises. Highly prized among enthusiasts, the former accounted for just 2,825 sales before the arrival of the 3000 MKII in 1961.According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example was built to left-hand drive specification on June 29th-30th 1959. Factory-fitted with a heater, overdrive, adjustable steering column, laminated windscreen, sealed beam headlights, wire wheels and Roadspeed tyres, the two-seater was supplied new via Hambro Trading Inc of Philadelphia. The vendor repatriated the 3000 on the understanding that it was 'a true survivor that had never rusted or been abused'. Believed but not warranted to have covered 28,000 miles from new, the BN7 was endorsed by its previous keeper as follows: 'Drives wonderfully, quick and tight, overdrive operates well, quiet transmission, good oil pressure, a great car in great condition. I have owned over thirty Healeys in my lifetime and this car is one of the best'. Pleasingly able to boast matching chassis, engine and body numbers, it is now UK road registered as '688 UYY'. Repainted in Colorado Red and retrimmed in Black leather and vinyl with matching carpets, the 3000 remains highly presentable. Rare and desirable, this BN7 is worthy of close inspection and comes with a fresh MOT certificate.

Lot 26

1999 Jaguar XK8- Supplied new by Evans Halshaw Jaguar of Milton Keynes- 1 owner example and only 13,800 miles from new- Original book pack, handbooks and service book with 12 entriesLiving up to expectations can be a burden. Consider the handsome Geoff Lawson-penned XK8 that followed in the wheeltracks of such automotive icons as the XK120 and immortal E-type. Like the latter, it made its debut at the Geneva Salon - that of 1996 - and from launch was available in either Coupe or Convertible guise. Power came from a normally aspirated 4.0-litre version of the company's DOHC V8 AJ26 engine.

1927 Ford Model T Depot Hack- Recently restored- Described as in very good condition- Recent film hire workWith the introduction of a moving assembly line in 1913, Henry Ford famously turned his Model T into the world's first mass made car. A year later, Model Ts represented 56% of all automobile manufacture in the USA. However, it was not just the sheer volume of Model Ts rolling off the production line that motorised America, it was the inherent quality of the design. Launched in 1908, the T's chassis and mechanical components were made from exceptionally durable, high-grade vanadium steel. The Ford also featured a compact 2890cc, sidevalve, four-cylinder engine that pioneered the use of a detachable cylinder head. Mounted in unit with the clutch and two-speed epicyclic gearbox assembly, it developed some 23hp at a leisurely 1,600rpm and 80lbft of torque. Top speed was limited to around 45mph depending upon bodywork, whilst brakes operated on both the transmission and rear wheels. Finished in Green over Black with Brown upholstery, this recently restored Ford is described by the vendor as being in 'very good' condition with regard to its engine, transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. A rare depot hack model that is said to 'drive well' with 'solid bodywork' and a 'good magneto', this handsome Model T has recently seen service with a film hire company.

1968 Morris Mini Moke PLEASE NOTE: The 850cc engine which accompanies this lot bears an engine number which matches that stated on its V5C Registration Document. The engine and gearbox can be viewed at the Documents' Office. PLEASE NOTE: This lot has a MOT certificate valid until March 2019 and was driven to the sale. - 1 of only 9,096 Morris versions made a mere ten percent of which were 'home market' supplied  - Treated to an extensive bare metal restoration by its previous keeper (who owned it twice) in c.2007 and less than 1,200 miles since - Entered from a private collection and offered for sale with original plastic wallet containing a Morris Mini Minor handbook and Moke supplement First registered in Stirlingshire on 17th May 1968 (or so its number plate would imply), this rare 'home market' example was so beloved by its previous keeper that he owned it twice. Treated to an extensive, 'bare metal' restoration during his second tenure, the Morris returned to the road circa 2007. Part of a private collection for the past four years, the Moke has been sparingly used and indeed is thought to have only covered 1,200 miles or so since its refurbishment was completed. Uprated with a leather-rimmed steering wheel, more powerful 1275cc A-Series engine, Sabelt front harnesses and dual braking system for modern traffic conditions, 'MWG 423F' is expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original plastic wallet (containing a Morris Mini Minor handbook and Moke supplement), 850cc A-Series engine, assorted old MOTs / tax discs and some 1990s magazine articles on restoring Mokes. The utilitarian Moke (slang for Donkey) was conceived as a light military vehicle and, codenamed The Buckboard, was tested by all three branches of the armed forces. However, its relatively low ground clearance ruled it out of most combat situations and its forte was as a beach buggy in such popular holiday destinations as the Seychelles and the Caribbean. Some 50,000 examples were manufactured all told - UK production ran from 1964 to 1968, while they were also built in Australia, Portugal and Italy. The monocoque shell comprised a pair of box-section pontoons connected by the floorpan and firewall. Engine, gearbox, suspension etc were standard Mini components, making for economical service and repair. Most of the 14,518 British Mokes incorporated Mini MK1 running gear but the later ones (1967-68) utilised MK2 parts. However, of the 5,422 Austin and 9,096 Morris versions made a mere ten percent or so were 'home market' supplied.

1968 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Series 1.5 Roadster- Imported to the UK in 1987, converted to RHD- Much work carried out in the 1990s, triple SU's, Kenlowe fan- Red with Black interior'OJF 742F' started life as a lefthand drive export model that was repatriated from the US in 1987. It is understood to have been restored in the 1990s, during which the chassis was converted to righthand drive and the engine from Stromberg to SU carburation. It has had four keepers since returning to these shores, the previous one of which acquired the Jaguar in 1991 and retained it before placing it in an Anglia Car Auctions sale in 2016, from which it was purchased by the vendor. Dry stored for most of his tenure, the E-Type still only displays a credible, though unwarranted, total mileage of 69,448 and he presently grades the 4.2-litre engine and manual five-speed gearbox as 'very good', the Roadster bodywork as 'good', and the Black leather trim and Red paintwork as average - the latter does display a degree of micro blistering in places.1968 model year E-Types have been retrospectively dubbed Series 1.5 cars. The changes that distinguish them from the preceding Series 1 models were introduced to satisfy the increasingly safety oriented federal regulations and included: open rather than enclosed headlights; black plastic rocker switches for the dashboard as opposed to the toggle variety, black-painted ribbed cam covers, twin cooling fans, and adjustable seat backs. Just 2,801 Series 1.5 Roadsters were produced, of which the sale car is one, though it these days sports fared-in headlights.The last E-Type rolled off the production line 43 years ago, yet the model still has a unique ability to excite enthusiasts of all generations, its Malcolm Sayer-penned lines thought by many, including none other than Enzo Ferrari, to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motor car. Though hardly rare (over 72,000 were built), they understandably remain the apple of many a collector's eye.

Lot 47

1955 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL- Rare factory hard top- Fully UK registered- First year or productionThe 190 SL was introduced in 1955 - the year Mercedes swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300 SLR. However, unlike the 300 series cars, the newcomer was of monocoque construction and built on a shortened version of the 'Ponton' Saloon (W121) platform. It also boasted an all-new engine - an over-square SOHC straight-four unit of 1,897cc that produced some 120bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car to a maximum speed of 112mph. It drove through a four-speed manual gearbox operated by a short, floor-mounted lever. The suspension comprised double wishbones and coil springs at the front and coil sprung swing axles at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball and braking by power-assisted drums all-round.Built to the highest standards and among the quickest cars of the time, the 190 SL featured a well-appointed cockpit, notable comfort for its occupants and relatively generous luggage space. Under the circumstances, even the steep asking price of £2,693 did nothing to deter purchasers. The convertible could be ordered with or without removable hard top. There was also the option of a third seat placed transversely behind the front ones and big enough to carry an adult. The 190 SL continued in production until 1963, when both it and the 300 SL were replaced by the 113 series 230 SL. By this time over 25,000 190 SLs had been built.Paperwork accompanying this smartly-presented lefthand drive example confirm it spent some time in Ohio, USA before the vendor imported it from a Florida dealer in October last year. Now UK-registered, its lustrous brightwork enhances the look of the Red bodywork and luxurious hide interior trim. The Benz is being offered complete with both a colour-keyed hard top and Beige hood, thereby fully catering for whatever type of British weather it may encounter.

1953 Austin A90 Atlantic- A rare survivor and surely the perfect addition to an Austin-Healey stable- Used as a course pace car at the Goodwood Revival in 2016- Original buff log book, registration number, handbooks and workshop manual The Atlantic was a brave attempt by Austin to chime with the Government's 'Export or die' edict courtesy of a car aimed firmly at the American market. Ultimately the unashamed Uncle Sam styling and myriad of innovative features captured just 350 US buyers, and even global sales were limited to 7,981. It is estimated that fewer than 30 remain roadworthy in the UK, making this handsome restored example all the more rare and desirable. Delivered new in 1953 to a Doctor Howard Samson of London it received a bare metal respray in 2013 and has been in the current ownership since 2013. Used as a course pace car at the Goodwood Revival in 2016, the Austin benefits from a stainless steel exhaust, new tyres and a recent brake overhaul, and comes complete with: original buff log book, registration number, handbooks and workshop manual; collection of invoices and old MOTs; plus photos of the restoration. The vendor currently classes the paintwork, bodywork, interior and engine as 'excellent' however advises first gear needs attention. Surely the perfect addition to an Austin-Healey stable.

Lot 61

1964 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL- A rare right-hand drive example supplied new in Belfast on 24th June 1964, full DVLA ownership trace- Extensively mechanically, bodily and cosmetically restored since entering the current ownership as a 'garage find' five years ago- Pleasingly retains its original registration number and engine. Hardtop and soft-top roofs- c.£50,000 worth of recent expenditure much of it with Pagoda specialist Colin Ferns Ltd of RichmondAccompanied by a DVLA ownership trace which goes all the way back to its first keeper in Belfast, this rare right-hand drive 230SL previously belonged to a busy sea captain. Scarcely used from the 1990s onwards, the Mercedes-Benz was effectively a `garage find' when the vendor acquired it five years ago. Extensively mechanically, bodily and cosmetically restored since then with much of the work entrusted to renowned Pagoda specialist Colin Ferns Ltd of Richmond, the two-seater pleasingly retains its factory-fitted engine and four-speed manual gearbox. A comparatively early 230SL and thus notably lighter / sportier than its successors, `233 WZ' has been refinished in its original exterior livery (with the hubcaps correctly colour-coded to the hardtop). Reupholstered in leather rather than MB-Tex but using period authentic trim pieces made with the original factory tooling, the two-seater also boasts a fully refurbished / relined hardtop and brand new soft-top secured to the original rails. Describing it as `a wonderful car that starts on the button', the vendor notes a deep scratch to the passenger window but is not aware of any major issues. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, fresh MOT certificate, some service history dating back to the 1980s, recent invoices for circa £50,000 mostly with Colin Ferns Ltd and an insurance approved tracker (the latter requiring a subscription). Successor to both the exotic racebred 300SL 'Gullwing' Coupe and its humbler 190SL sibling, the W113-series SL proved more comfortable than the former and faster than the latter (a point emphasised by Eugen Bohringer's 1963 Liege-Sofia-Liege rally victory). First of the line, the 230SL was styled by Paul Bracq and introduced at the March 1963 Geneva Salon. Powered by a 2306cc straight-six engine mated to either four-speed manual or automatic transmission, it was credited with 150bhp / 159lbft and a 124mph top speed. Of the 48,912 W113-series cars made between 1963 and 1971, 19,831 were 230SLs (the vast majority of which were left-hand drive).

Lot 64

1950 Riley RMC 2.5 Litre- The last of the real Rileys- Property of a deceased estate, owned since 1982- Subject to restoration work in the 1980s and used sparingly sinceThe RM Series cars were the last 'proper' Rileys - the swansong of the marque before it was subsumed into the mighty British Motor Corporation. The model range was manufactured in Coventry until 1949, when production moved to the MG factory at Abingdon. The RMC and RMD were limited edition Roadsters. While the latter was a conventional two-door Drophead Coupe, the RMC was a far more distinctive variant primarily designed for export to North America.Ostensibly a two-door convertible version of the RMB, it featured a three-abreast front seat, cutaway doors, foldaway hood, large rear stowage area, fold flat windscreen and lower bonnet line. The 2.5-litre four-cylinder powerplant was also unusual in having twin push rod-operated camshafts placed high in the cylinder block. The unit's output was circa 100bhp at 4,500 rpm - sufficient to accelerate the big Riley to 60mph in around 16.5 seconds and on to a genuine 100mph. Only 507 examples of the RMC are understood to have been produced between 1948 and 1951, making it a rare car by any standards.The example offered today features the floor-mounted gear change of a late model home market car and was acquired by the vendor's late-father in 1982. Restored in the 1980s, it has been sparingly used since although the red paintwork now shows signs of micro-blistering. The grey interior has mellowed nicely whilst the bodywork appears sound. Said to be in good mechanical condition, this desirable open Riley is offered complete with sidescreens, assorted MoTs dating from 1969 and a Swansea V5C document.

Lot 68

1953 Morgan Plus 4 Four-Seater- In current ownsership since 1989- Morgan main Dealer maintained- Matching numbers carFirst seen in 1950, the Morgan Plus 4 was a larger and more powerful derivative of the company's 4/4 and has remained in production on and off for over 60 years now. Up until 1969 it was powered by the four-cylinder engines found in the Triumph TR range, which were mated to a four-speed manual gearbox with well-spaced ratios. The rakish body was mounted on a variant of Morgan's familiar Z section chassis, underslung at the rear. Suspension was independent by sliding pillars and coil springs at the front and a live axle on semi-elliptic springs at the rear. Braking was by drums all round and steering by a Burman cam and sector system. As tested by Autosport's John Bolster, the 100bhp 1991cc Triumph-engined Plus Four would accelerate to 60mph in 9.6 seconds and on to a top speed of a whisker under 105mph.According to an accompanying 1989 letter from the then registrar, this delightful period Morgan was the only 'flat rad' four-seater Plus 4 known to the Morgan Sports Car Club at that time, so a decidedly rare version. It was purchased for £12,500 in September of the same year by the vendor's family trust, since when it has been continually maintained by renowned Morgan dealer Melvyn Rutter of Bishop's Stortford. The subject of a comprehensive older restoration just 4,543 miles ago, 'SNW 545' is smartly presented courtesy of Dark Green bodywork teamed with Black upholstery and carpets. Self-evident features of interest include the Bluemels steering wheel, quartet of period rear-view mirrors, rear-mounted luggage rack and radio aerial affixed to the left flank. The Morgan rides on silver-coloured steel disc wheels equipped with Avon HM Tourist tyres and highly polished hubcaps. This charming Plus 4 is now offered complete with full hood and tonneau cover and an MOT to August 6.

1966 Austin Mini Cooper S 1275- Delivered new to the supplying dealer, Central Garage of Leeds- Subject to a restoration program that took some 20 years that was completed in 2011- Original service book, owners' manual and displays a credible 69,450 milesThe Mini mania sparked by Paddy Hopkirk's glorious victory on the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally has never really gone away. What's changed in recent times is that serious collectors increasingly insist on their cars being to original or period modified specification and are prepared to pay for the privilege. This delightful Cooper S appears to tick that box nicely. It is a 1966 1275 model, that retains its original Hydrolastic suspension system, three-synchro gearbox, dynamo and positive earth electrical system. It was the subject of a restoration program that took some 20 years, and was completed in 2011. Items of note include: the Webasto sunroof that has been retrimmed by Pickerings of Bradford; reclining front seats courtesy of Newton Commercial; period leather-rimmed Les Leston steering wheel; optional twin fuel tanks; Minilite-style alloy wheels from Mini Spares; and rare 163 cylinder head which, in common with the gearbox, has been overhauled. Other items refurbished since 2011 include the front suspension bushes and joints.This home market Mini is finished in the strident combination of Black roof over Tartan Red bodywork and trimmed in Red/Gold brocade. It was delivered new to the supplying dealer, Central Garage of Leeds, on April 6, 1966 and first registered 'FUM 740D'. The vendor acquired the car in 2011, since when it has dwelt on the Isle of Man with the appropriate registration 'MN 1275' - as he is retaining that number the Mini has now been allocated 'FMN 740D'. The vendor presently grades the bodywork, paintwork and transmission as 'excellent', and the engine and interior trim as 'very good'. He is now offering the car complete with the green continuation log book and original service book and owners' manual, as well as the Tudor Webasto instruction guide and Manx registration document. The odometer currently displays an eminently credible 69,450 miles.

1973 Ford Escort MexicoFord created the AVO-built Escort Mexico to capitalise on Hannu Mikkola's victory on the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally. Its strengthened shell was fitted with Rallye Sport suspension and brakes and powered by a 1600cc Kent engine. This 'totally unmarked' example hails from 1973 and has been the subject of a photographically recorded 'nut-and-bolt' restoration. Its gleaming Sebring Red bodywork is complemented by Black side stripes, Black cloth interior trim, and rare Black fold-back sunroof. It rides on genuine RS 13in four-spoke alloy wheels shod with a fresh set of Yokohama tyres, and steers via a three-spoke RS steering wheel. The Mexico is nowadays powered by a replacement powerplant built by Brian Randall Racing Engines that features a pair of twin-choke 40DCOE Webber carburettors - the original Kent engine forms part of the sale. Instead of a brake master cylinder, the car now benefits from an adjustable brake bias pedal box.

1986 Ford RS200- Originally scheduled to compete in the 1986 Swedish Finnish rally, however never saw a rally stage and became part of Ford's static display team- Just 4,122 from new with original leather-bound manuals and brochures- A rare opportunityPrior to the mould-breaking RS200, Ford's works rally cars had all been evolutions of its road car range, including the stillborn RS1700T (effectively a rear-wheel drive version of the soon to be launched MKIII Escort) that was intended to replace the highly successful but ageing MKII Escort RS1800. However, by the time Stuart Turner reassumed control of Ford's competition reigns in 1983, the Audi Quattro had raised the rally bar out of sight, and one of his first decisions was to cancel the RS1700T programme and create plans for a purpose-built four-wheel drive car for the new Group B formula - ie the RS200.The newcomer was designed by Tony Southgate, styled by Carrozzeria Ghia and built by Reliant. Its mid-engined chassis was powered by a turbocharged version of the Cosworth BDA and clothed in a composite body. Two hundred were required for homologation (hence the car's name) but, as history relates, a number of high profile accidents killed the new formula after just one year, leaving Ford's new mini supercar without a remit. Some found success in rallycross while most have taken on the role of much sought-after collectors cars.The immaculate 'F679 UVX' is a case in point. Originally scheduled to compete in the 1986 Swedish Finnish rally, it ultimately never saw a rally stage and became part of Ford's static display team, registration 'F535 LHJ' - borrowers included Pirelli, Donington Park and the Essex Police. Subsequent private owners have included Bill Camplisson and Chris Rees. This fabulous, unmarked representative of the infamous Group B rally era has therefore covered just 4,122 from new, and is now offered complete with its original leather-bound manuals, brochure, spare set of keys and documents and correspondence from the RS Owners' Club. A rare opportunity to acquire a very usable and highly desirable piece of international motorsport history.

1977 Porsche 911 S Targa- Family ownership for 38 years in California , 25 years in dry storage- All original panels- Extensive optional extras fitted from newThe now ubiquitous Porsche 911 entered production in 1964. The design was the work of Dr Ferry Porsche's eldest son, Ferdinand 'Butzi' Porsche and the company's joint founder and chief body engineer Erwin Kommenda. The car featured rack and pinion steering and both torsion bar suspension and disc brakes all-round and was initially powered by a dry-sump, air-cooled, 2-litre, flat six engine. In 1968, the wheelbase was increased by 57mm, the rear overhang reduced by the same amount, and some 22lb saved from the (overhung) engine crankcase. These changes greatly improved the car's handling. Since its birth, the 911's story has been one of continual evolution. Early on, the engine capacity had been increased to 2.2 litres and during 1971 it rose to 2.4 litres and in 1973 to 2.7-litres. The Targa top option for the 911 was introduced in 1967 and was an immediate success. Initially it featured a folding rear window but fairly soon acquired a fixed rear screen.Now UK registered, this delightfully original-looking and apparently unrestored lefthand drive K-Series 911 S was produced in the last weeks of the 2.7 run and supplied new by Felton Porsche CA in 1977. It remained in California with just two family owners for 38 years, the last 26 of which were spent in dry storage. Its comprehensive specification includes: oil cooler; Blaupunkt Bamberg stereo system with additional amplifier, four speakers, and electric antenna; competition 38mm steering wheel; sports seats; power windows and passenger mirror; centre console; rear wiper; black rather than chrome exterior trim; colour-keyed headlight rims; and headlight washers. Finished in Sienna Metallic Brown and trimmed in Tan-coloured hide, the vendor informs us that 'UPP 824R' has 'never been under sealed and the panels are all original'. Serviced within the last 100 miles it is now being offered complete with: its original service book, handbook and sales brochures; Porsche Certificate of Authenticity; its full original toolkit; and pair of keys. An increasingly rare opportunity.

1973 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster- Original UK RHD manual example- Interior re-trimmed, bare metal repaint, new front wings / doors / bootlid, engine overhauled, etc.- Receipts on file for over £90,000The E-Type or XK-E as it was known in the USA, made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show of 1961. From birth, the car was available either as a Fixed Head Coupe or a two-seat Roadster. The engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964. With the change came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and more comfortable seats. For 1966, a 2+2 version of the Coupe was added to the range. It was 9in longer and featured a more vertical windscreen.What are known as the Series 3 cars were introduced in 1971. With the exception of a handful of now very rare examples, they were all fitted with a new 5.3-litre V12 engine. The original (short) wheelbase was discontinued and the revised car offered only as Roadster (now based on the longer 2+2 floorpan) or 2+2 Coupe. Production of the Series 3 cars continued until the entire model range was superseded by the XJS in 1975; by which time some 15,000 V12-engined cars had been produced - most of which were exported to North America. The Series 3 cars are readily identified from their predecessors by the large cross-slatted radiator grille, flared wheel arches and V12 badge on the rear.This very impressively-presented righthand drive home market Roadster has been the subject of a £90,000 refurbishment which included the front wings, doors and bootlid being replaced and the whole car treated to a bare metal respray in Black. The interior was completely retrimmed in Biscuit-coloured hide, the engine overhauled with new timing chains and a refurbished manual gearbox installed. The instruments were also overhauled and the original wiring replaced. First registered in London in 1973, 'VLL 623M' currently displays a mere (though unwarranted) 14,358 miles and is now seeking a new owner in time for some wind-in-the-hair spring motoring.

TWO GREENLANDIC INUIT KAYAK AND ROWER SCULPTURES marine ivory, carved in multiple seperate pieces, the first with a wooden base and soapstone seal attached, the second shown seated in a leather bound kayak longest 28cm Provenance: Ex. collection of John Christian Olsen. Olsen was a Danish resistance member in WW2. He was captured and sent to Bochum concentration camp (a sub camp of Buchenwald). After liberation in 1945 he walked back to Denmark but found it difficult to reajust to normal life. He travelled to Greenland and lived in the wilderness. During this time he befriended local Inuit and obtained these rare ivory carvings which are rare and distinct from the commercial examples being produced at the time.
