A 1994 MG RV8, registration number L184 KUX, chassis number SARRAWBMBMG000414, engine number UEA48A0000257, White gold. The RV8 was conceived in 1988 with production starting in 1992 after the introduction of the new Heritage bodyshell. The external body panels were revised but the MG B origins are still evident. Power came from the Rover 3.9 litre V8 delivering 185 bhp which was sufficient to propel the MG to a top speed of 135 mph and 0-60 mph of six seconds. The interiors were lavishly equipped with leather and walnut trim and double duck lined hoods were fitted. This example we have the pleasure in offering for sale is an original home market right hand drive example, finished in the very rare (believed to be one of only eleven) White gold and has a complementary tan leather interior, black double duck hood and sits on the correct period alloy wheels. The current owner of three years has used the MG sparingly, only adding a few hundred miles to the odometer. The accompanying history file is extensive with numerous receipts, past MOTs and an original sales brochure. It is now rare to find an original home market car as so many were exported and subsequently re-imported to fill a gap in the British market. V5C, MOT to June 2018 See illustrations
A 1969 Ford Escort 1300 De Luxe MkI restoration project, brown. This early two door MkI Escort has been in dry storage since its last MOT expired in 1987 (tax disc displayed). Now requiring full restoration or it would make an excellent basis for a Mexico or RS Replica. Being an early model, it has the rare outside pull bonnet release and the vendor advises us that the door, boot and bonnet shut lines are even. This project will be offered for auction without any accompanying paperwork. No V5C, no MOT See illustration Condition report NH: Comes with keys
A 1971 British Leyland Austin Mini Cooper 1275 S MkIII, registration number BHH 301J, chassis number XAD1412858A, ***engine number 12H37910000 (not 12H397F0000)***, Teal blue. Manufactured between March 1970 and June 1971, the MkIII Cooper S is one of the rarest of all Cooper derivatives, with only 1570 being manufactured. In line with other MkIII the body was revised with concealed door hinges, larger rear lights and new front grille. This matching numbers Cooper is finished in a very rare colour of Teal blue. The interior is finished in black vinyl and is fitted with period extras including a Rokee teak dashboard, Moto-Lite leather trimmed steering wheel, correct Mini-Lite wheels, Webasto full length sunroof and Wipac spot lamps and covers. This original right hand drive home market car was originally registered in London and was exported to Texas by an oil worker who had used the car in London before emigrating back to the States. Having been used for some time in the United States, the car went into storage and was subsequently restored. The current vendor purchased the car and had it imported approximately eighteen months ago. Since arriving on these shores, he has replaced some of the non standard parts which had been fitted in the restoration to correct period items. It now has the rare and correct radiator cowl and bands which usually get lost during restoration. The vendor is a member of the Mini Cooper Register and has enjoyed getting the car into a correct period state but now is selling it so that he can concentrate on his next project, a MkI Cooper S. The Mini will be offered for auction with a history file containing American paperwork, import paperwork, receipts for items purchased in the UK and MOT certificates. This Mini Cooper is a rare example of a MkIII with period accessories and should appeal to a collector or enthusiast. V5C, MOT to August 2017 See illustrations
A 1967 left hand drive Volkswagen Splitscreen Sundial camper, registration number VBY 396E, red over yellow. This rare Sundial camper was featured in Ultra VW Magazine, issue number 120 August 2013 and appeared on the front cover. It describes the full restoration of the bus by David Millar, a well respected VW restorer, for the owner of a chain of coffee shops in London. The bus was imported from Idaho and was in relatively straight condition, fitted with a hot twin plug engine and special ignition system. The engine was felt to be impractical for its intended use on London streets so a rebuilt 1200cc engine was installed, a full respray was carried out in Ferrari red and Mercedes yellow, the steel wheels were refurbished and new chrome embellishers were fitted as well as new tyres all round. The interior saw a similar amount of work with new fittings throughout. The finished article is certainly eye catching as can be seen in the accompanying magazine article. Since completion the bus has seen little use and it is hoped that the new owner will get to use the van as intended. V5C, ***no MOT*** See illustrations
A 1986 Jaguar XJS 3.6 litre coupé, registration number D828 CDU, Blue. The vendor advises us that this coupé is in good condition and has always been garaged. It has covered a believed 92,000 miles in 31 years and has full service history with 17 stamps, receipts and 18 old MOTs. The Jaguar has original hand and service books, spare key (not keys) and is a rare 5 speed manual gearbox version which sits on pepperpot alloy wheels and has a beige half leather interior.

A 1947 Sunbeam Talbot 10 drophead coupé restoration project, registration number FVC 910, chassis number 1329010, engine number C20743, Black. This rare Sunbeam Talbot was first registered on 31 January 1947 to Coventry Garage Ltd, Coventry. Its first private owner was a Mr Samuel Stanley Taylor from Meriden, Warwickshire. Mr Taylor in turn sold the Sunbeam to a Mr G Wright from Tipton, Staffs. There were subsequently three further custodians, one from Middlesex and two from Newton Abbot, Devon. Our client purchased it approximately 30 years ago from the second Newton Abbot owner as a running and driving car. He subsequently stripped the car in readiness for restoration, he replaced the the ash frame but no further work was undertaken due to work and other commitments. He has now taken the decision to sell the project due to his advancing years and he feels he will no longer be able to finish it. The Sunbeam will be offered for auction with a list of previous owners, a handbook and sundry paperwork. V5C, MOT and tax exempt See illustration
A 1938 Fiat Topolino 500A (little mouse), registration number ENK 281, chassis number 048766, green. This extremely rare right hand drive Topolino comes direct from the deceased estate of a well known enthusiast's stable which included both Bugatti and Bentley models. The Topolino was introduced in 1936 and would remain little altered until 1948. It was designed to be a large car in miniature and incorporated some advanced features such as water cooled four cylinder engine, 12 volt electrics, four speed gearbox with synchromesh on third and fourth gears, independent front suspension and hydraulic brakes. In period the diminutive Fiat found favour with some of the most famous racing drivers of the day, including Prince Bira, Earl Howe, Richard Seaman, Rob Walker and Charles Blackenbury. This charming example, which we have the pleasure in offering for auction, has a fascinating history with a detailed inventory of past owners from the first a Mr Collin Victor Campbell to the current registered keeper who acquired the Fiat in 1987, an engine rebuild invoice and sundry paperwork including receipts, ***one MOT (not MOTs)*** and maintenance notes. Presented with green coachwork, black roll top roof and fawn cloth interior, this rare Topolino will require recommissioning after a time in dry storage, but once recommissioned this little mouse will cut a dash.

A 1953 Lagonda 3 litre Tickford drophead coupé, registration number NYC 820, chassis number LAG/50/503, engine number VB6J/71, blue. The Lagonda sales brochure stated the car had beauty of line, power and grace, and what superlative comfort and proud dignity were embodied in the 3 litre Lagonda Tickford saloon and drophead coupé. Coachbuilders Tickford of Newport Pagnell had started to play an increasingly important role as body suppliers to Aston Martin Lagonda during manufacture of the 2.6 litre. When the new 3 litre was announced in 1953, they assumed sole responsibility of body production for the two models, a two door saloon and drophead coupé (the four door saloon following later). The newly enlarged engine now produced 140 bhp, an output good enough for a top speed in excess of 100 mph. In October 1955, a revised MkII model was introduced and the range reduced to just the four door saloon after only five MkII dropheads had been completed. The model found favour with some illustrious characters including His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh and the actor Peter Ustinov. LAG/50/503 has a continuous history from new. Originally supplied and registered by Brooklands of Bond Street Ltd London, to its first owner a Mr Charles Robert Volz who resided at 2 Magdalene House, Manor Fields, Putney, SW19, it was then sold back to Brooklands of Bond Street who subsequently sold it to a Mr Patrick Brunner who resided at 18 Addison Road, London, W14. There is the original bill of sale on the file which shows that Mr Brunner traded in a Lagonda 4.5 litre LG45, chassis number 012161, and was allowed £381 against the full amount of £705. He paid the balance by twelve monthly installments. Mr Brunner passed away in 1966 and the ownership passed into Mrs Brunner's hands who retained the car until the 1990s. One further owner was recorded before the vendor purchased the Lagonda. In his ownership the car has been used for touring, and to attend classic car events with the Lagonda Owner's Club and others. LAG/50/503 is presented in an original condition with a beautifully patinated grey leather interior with matching soft top and a hood cover. This rare Lagonda has a comprehensive history with numerous receipts, and some fascinating hand written letters from Mrs Brunner detailing the history of the car during her and her husband's ownership and letters from DVLA to retain the original registration number. This now offers a scarce opportunity to purchase one of the rarest of Lagonda models. RF60, V5C, MOT and tax exempt See back cover and other illustrations
A 1960 Austin 152 (J2) Paralanian motor caravan, registration number 778 HYD, chassis number J2CA60908, engine number 15JCN18800, cream/brown. The Paralanian built by Central Garages of Bradford at their Parry Works' premises, was Britain's first new generation of coach built motor caravans. It was the idea of works director, Clifford Hobson, who drew inspiration from his time with motor cabin cruisers and torpedo boats. The new hobby of motor caravanning was the preserve of the well heeled as a Paralanian cost the price of a three bedroom semi detached house at its launch and would remain a luxury purchase. This time warp example has covered only 31,000 miles from new. The first owner having seen the promotional vehicle at the 1960 Caravan Show at London's Earls Court placed an order and subsequently received one of the first van's after he had parted with £1,251. The first custodian would use the van until 1977, when sadly the owner's wife passed away and the vehicle would be put into storage in a barn, where it would remain until 1993, when it was purchased by a John and Margaret Lewis, who were friends of the first owner. There would be two further changes of owner until our vendor acquired the Austin in 2006. The van is very original with a wonderful preserved interior, having its original stove, sink, upholstery and fittings. The exterior coachwork was originally two tone grey, has been repainted to tan cream and cream and brown at some point. This charming and rare motor caravan, would be just the thing for the Goodwood Revival or other festivals, and is offered with a history file. V5C, MOT to October 2017 See illustrations Condition report NH: The car runs and will be driven to auction.
