On offer from the Barton J Hubert No Reserve Collection - shooting brake, cool styling and a sonorous soundtrack from the desirable S54 engine; one of only 165 right-hand drive Z3M Coupés produced worldwide, and one of just 14 S54 examples in Steel Grey. The Z3 was the first modern mass-market roadster produced by BMW, as well as the first new BMW model to be assembled in the United States. It was introduced as a 1996 model-year vehicle, shortly after being featured in the James Bond movie Goldeneye. While the film was number one at the box office, sales of the car peaked and over 15,000 orders had been placed by the time the car was launched. The Z3 was designed by Joji Nagashima of the BMW design team, and was developed from the 3-series E36 platform, and consequently is often referred to as the E36/7 (Roadster) or E36/8 (Coupé). When launched, only the 1.9-litre, straight-four engine was offered, but its 138bhp proved a bit short of breath. A 2.2-litre engine producing 168bhp was made available for the more enthusiastic driver whilst in 1997 a powerful six-cylinder 2.8-litre unit producing 190bhp was an option, and ultimately, in 1998, the 3.2-litre Z3M topped the range. In October 2001, the 'M' Coupé reappeared with the new 3.2-litre 'S54' B32 engine from the E46 M3, producing 321bhp at 7,400rpm and 258lb/ft, and it transformed the Z3M. On paper, the difference is a mere 4bhp, but in the real world it feels like at least 40bhp! The free-revving characteristics remained, but with the power instantly available throughout the range; smoother, torquier, more responsive – in other words, the drivers' choice and the model the enthusiasts hanker for.Only 165 right-hand drive Z3M Coupés were made worldwide, with just 123 for the UK-market, plus, this car is one of only 15 S54 examples finished in the rare colour of Stahlgrau Metallic (Steel Grey), which makes this a particularly desirable car.The car presented here is a 2002 Z3M Coupé (S54) and is one of those 14 S54 examples produced in arguably the best (and rarest) BMW hue of Steel Grey, and doesn’t it suit the car? Wow. Complemented by a single-tone black interior (no two-tone seats here) this is 'uber-cool BMW-ness'. Supplied new by Jacksons BMW, Guernsey C.I in February 2002, the all-important M Power running-in service and subsequent 12 services were all carried out by the supplying main dealer. It was latterly serviced by renowned specialists Hexagon (including Inspection II service), and treated to new brake calipers, discs and pads, plus a wheel alignment. Supplied with its original and complete book-pack (including stamped-up service schedule), its original bill of sale, plus invoices for maintenance/upkeep, this is the complete 'Z3M package'.In exceptionally good condition, our vendor selected this car as part of his Collection for its quality, specification and rarity. With a full and comprehensive service history, supporting its meagre 45,000 miles, this is a superb modern-classic, and tipped to be a future star. Indeed, Bonhams, at their recent Zoute Sale, achieved €149,500 for another S54 in Steel Grey, a quite amazing result, but it shows how highly-regarded these cars are - a never-to-be-repeated, powerful, naturally aspirated engined, almost bespoke type of production car from a major manufacturer – certainly a high-tidemark model. Offered for sale at 'No Reserve', this is a special opportunity.Specification Make: BMW Model: Z3M COUPÉ S54 Year: 2002 Chassis Number: WBSCN92070LC69221 Registration Number: M23 BMV Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 45000 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

**Please note the car has recieved a fresh MOT valid until 6th November 2024.** Possibly the most high-profile modern Lotus in existence, subject to a £100,000 plus restoration and remaining in superb condition. The Esprit V8 was Lotus’ first crack at building an out-and-out supercar, and they undeniably did a brilliant job of it. The in-house designed and built Type 918 engine was an all-aluminium, 90° DOHC, 4-valves per cylinder V8 engine with two Garrett turbochargers which nearly bankrupted the company costing millions in development, but what an engine it was. Producing 350bhp in de-tuned, road going guise, and north of 500bhp in full race trim. The Esprit V8 was capable of 0-60mph in 4.0s and topping out at a whisper over 175mph. The car was visually beautiful, seen as a collaborative effort within the Lotus design team, building upon the foundation laid by Giorgetto Giugiaro's original design, standing at just 44.1in high and retaining it’s ‘pop up’ headlights until production ceased in 2004, the last remaining production car to retain them! An Esprit V8 is a rare beast in all senses, but this one is arguably the most special and notable example, having been owned, restored by Lotus and used by the ultimately disgraced CEO Dany Bahar.Dany Bahar wasn’t known for his money saving abilities, but certainly was known for an uncanny ability to spend it, so when he joined Lotus as their new CEO from Ferrari, he certainly brought with him some grandiose plans that ultimately became his undoing. One of his many self-indulgent projects undertaken during his reign as Lotus CEO - besides from remodelling his house - was to commission the factory to completely rebuild a Lotus Esprit V8 as a personal runaround. Bahar felt he needed something truly special, and none of the Lotus line-up at the time quite fitted the bill. Instead, he decided Lotus’ Esprit V8 supercar was the one, so set about having one fully restored at a vast internal cost purely because he wanted the best one in the world, and the best one in the world is what he received. There are many internal Lotus documents on file in the cars history folder, and while they fully detail all the parts and work involved, they don’t document the cost. With over 800 hours of labour involved and over 9 A4 pages documenting all the new parts used, it is reasonable to believe the speculation and rumours that this restoration cost Lotus well in excess of £100,000.In 2010, Lotus sourced and got to work on a very late, low mileage 2002 Lotus Esprit V8 to make it fit for Bahar. The restoration was certainly meticulous, leaving no stone unturned and no bolt untouched. The car was completely stripped down for the nut and bolt meticulous restoration, with the chassis being blasted and powder coated. Any parts that were still available new from Lotus, were replaced, regardless of their condition and thankfully there is photographic documentation corroborating the strip down, restoration and rebuild with the bills/internal invoices on file. Whilst it is not on the parts list, several Lotus staff including Danny Hartgrove, the man in charge of the restoration, have since revealed that a brand-new engine was fitted, straight out of the crate, at Dany Bahar’s request. The gearbox was fully reconditioned, as a new gearbox was not available. Upon completion, and whilst in Lotus’/Bahar’s care, the car was displayed at the 2010 NEC Classic Car show, the 2010 Paris Motor Show and the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Upon Bahar’s unceremonious firing, Lotus took the car back, kept it and sold it via their dealership network in 2014 before our vendor purchased it from the buyer in September 2016.The level of detail to ensure this car was the best in the world is incredible, and this V8 includes some special features. The whole car is in absolutely mint condition. On the mechanical side, not only was a brand new crate engine fitted but it was paired up with a host of "Final Edition" options from the last-of-the-line 2003 models such as a later ‘High Boost’ Engine Control Module from an Esprit Sport 350, breathing through a twin-centre exit exhaust, providing even more power and noise. To stop the car, uprated AP Racing front callipers were fitted at the front, and Brembos at the back, with Anthracite OZ Nova wheels shod in Dunlop SP Sport tyres.Cosmetically, in addition to the wheels, this Esprit had an oversized Final Edition spoiler fitted and ‘Afterburner’ tail lights. The interior was retrimmed in a totally bespoke and wonderful dark grey SuedeTex / Black leather combination throughout with a then costing £2,500 multimedia system/sat nav, with top of the range speakers, Esprit Kick plates, and a Momo 3 spoke leather steering wheel. The car was fastidiously painted in Pearlescent White from maroon and, as you can imagine with Mr Bahar standing by, the preparation and finish were millimetre perfect.Lotus have subsequently borrowed the car back in recent times for the visit by the Geely Vice President and Lotus CEO, Mr Feng Qingfeng, along with approximately, 50 Geely/Lotus Senior Executives.It has been looked after and cherished by its two private owners since Bahar, remaining incredibly pampered with over £32,000 in invoices from the current vendor alone, mainly from Stratton Motor Company, for maintenance and servicing, despite only covering a mere 5,500 miles since the Lotus restoration. It further benefits from a full-service history, stamped in the original service book, most recently receiving an A-Service in August 2023 from Stratton Motor Company as well as new timing belts/tensioners and new rear suspension, amongst other work. It will be offered for sale with a fresh MOT to further peace of mind.This car simply could not be a better example of what an Esprit V8 should be like. It is visually beautiful, mechanically wonderful and fully documented from new. While he may have made some questionable financial decisions whilst running Lotus, Bahar certainly achieved the goal of having the best Esprit V8 in the world. Being a CEO, after all, certainly has its perks. Without a doubt this is the best condition Esprit we’ve presented, and we highly recommend a personal viewing to fully appreciate the level of detail and quality installed in this car. With such a brilliant story behind it, and the first time its ever reached the truly open market, this is an opportunity to acquire arguably the very best Lotus Esprit V8.SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ESPRIT V8Year: 2002Chassis Number: SCCDA0823HC10330Registration Number: RO02 PTXTransmission: ManualEngine Number: LL918990230240LRV12Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 41524 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey/Black AlcantaraClick here for more details and images
With upgraded Bilstein suspension and a mild-mannered chip, this eye-catching 4x4 does make a bit of a statement in Firenze Red and Black. A Worldwide icon - as British as King Charles, Fish and Chips or the Local Pub. From 1990, the 90 and 110 models were rebadged as the Defender. It was instantly familiar given the evolutionary relationship with the Series Land Rovers that preceded them. To the layman, the different versions have almost become interchangeable, not least because each represents the utilitarian, unpretentious, rugged off-roader that made Land Rover famous.The Defender itself evolved gradually over its quarter-century on sale, gaining new Ford engines and the odd interior tweak, but perhaps the most significant change was nothing to do with the designers at Solihull, it was its gradual adoption by trendy metropolitan elites, declaring it as their carriage of choice, taking the Land Rover legend from the country into the city. It's now equally popular with both cattle herders and yoga instructors, a trend that is reflected in the latest models, as good up to their axles in clag as they are at carving through SW1.LR63 RED (the registration number will stay with the vehicle) is finished in very rare Firenze Red Metallic with a gloss-black front grille and headlight surrounds, over a black cloth and leather-trimmed interior. Shod with new 16" 'Boost' alloy wheels finished in gloss black with BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tyres fitted in 2021, the factory Defender 90XS specification includes a high and low range gearbox, electric windows, an analogue clock, heated front and rear windscreens, air conditioning, heated front seats, an Alpine CD stereo with Bluetooth connectivity and USB and auxiliary inputs, and fold-down rear seats. Receipts included reveal over £10,000 worth of upgrades in 2021 and 2022, including a leather-trimmed Momo Tuner steering wheel with an Optimill quick-release boss, 30mm wheel spacers, Vision X 7" LED Halo headlights, and colour-matching door mirror covers, wing vents and steering guard. Mechanical upgrades over the same period include an uprated LOF gearbox output shaft, a LOF clutch kit, LOF clutch slave cylinder, a Bell Auto Services uprated Garrett VGT hybrid turbocharger (high flow/high torque) and a Bell Auto Services Stage 3 performance remap which provides smooth power delivery with increased torque while providing improved fuel economy. Documented maintenance includes a replacement offside front swivel seal, a new front differential seal, gearbox half shafts and lay shafts, shock absorber bushes, a rear suspension ball joint, and a windscreen seal. The car benefits from a main dealer and specialist service recorded in 2013, 2015 (1,438 miles), 2020 (5,513 miles), 2021 (9,321 miles), 2022 (10,604 miles) and 2023 (11,373 miles) with receipts provided. The car was in storage from 2016 and through the COVID epidemic. July 2023 saw a full paint correction detail, PPF install to front headlight surrounds, front wing sides, grille, headlights, wing mirrors, front bumper in matt PPF and lower skid panel, XPEL Fusion ceramic coating applied to entire Defender, cost of which was over £3,000.Obviously hugely pampered in the past, its new custodian will need to do nothing but enjoy admiring and driving one of the most recognisable and characterful cars on our roads today.

This is a rare opportunity to join the small club of Ultima owners who know exactly how good these versatile little supercars actually are. Ultima's story begins in 1983 when engineering maestro, Lee Noble (who would go on to start Noble Automotive), founded Noble Motorsport and designed the Ultima Mk1 race car, inspired by the 'Group C' cars of the time. Launched in 1999, the Ultima GTR was dubbed the 'quickest accelerating and decelerating supercar of all time', with official performance records that humbled every mainstream car on the planet bar none - Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari Enzo and McLaren F1 - none could match the GTR’s plethora of world speed acceleration and deceleration records and, when independently timed around the Top Gear test track, was found to be a blistering 6.2 seconds per lap faster than the £450,000 Ferrari Enzo and four seconds per lap faster than the £1,500,000 Bugatti Veyron SS. Now universally appreciated as a true supercar, not much can come close to the value for money these exceptional vehicles offer in today’s market.On offer here is a low-mileage, low-owner, right-hand drive 2005 GTR that has benefitted from much recent expenditure on the mechanicals. In 2008, a previous owner paid over $23,000 to fit a 600bhp, 6.3-litre dry-sump Chevy 350 built to 383ci by Fastco Automotive products, replacing the original 5.7-litre unit. It runs a Porsche G50 gearbox and OS Giken Spec S Super Lock LSD (-1.5 way). In the accompanying history, there is a dyno sheet showing that the car currently runs 450bhp at the crank with a new cam fitted, having been de-tuned to make it a little more UK-road friendly. The carburettor has been replaced with a FAST EFi system ensuring easy starting and smooth running.The spec includes air conditioning, a reversing camera, excellent tyres and boasts a bespoke black/orange leather interior. The mileage was just 8,650 (at the time of cataloguing) in the hands of its four previous keepers. Accompanying the car is a good history file showing pictures of the engine build and its specification and invoices for work carried out over the years. Pleasingly, our vendor is generously including the appropriate registration JR05 GTR with the car.The current owner has recently commissioned Vitesse Global Ltd. to carry out mechanical works prior to the sale. This includes a full vehicle health check, supply and fit new starter motor/alternator, rewire starting and charging system with correct gauge wiring, rewire radio & reversing/side cameras, check entire vehicle wiring system and replace anything required, supply and fit new rear brake discs and pads (£1,000+), set up dual master cylinder braking system bias, fit a new windscreen and wiper blade and refit rear diffuser..Specification Make: ULTIMA Model: GTR Year: 2005 Chassis Number: ULT1MA245372 Registration Number: JR05 GTR Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 1770884 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 8650 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black/OrangeClick here for more details and images
A remarkable second generation XR2 with one owner and 12,999 miles from new. Virtually showroom fresh, stunning. Ford finally entered the mini-car market in 1976 with the launch of the Fiesta. The model proved an unqualified success right from the word go, but surprisingly it took nearly six years before a genuine performance version was added to the range, in the neat and tidy form of the XR2. This sporting model may well have been inspired by the famous success of the two Ford Fiestas in the 1979 Monte-Carlo Rally; the British entry driven by Roger Clark and aided by co-driver Jim Porter, and a German entry piloted by Ari Vatanen and co-driven by David Richards.Both cars were highly modified and were powered by competition tuned versions of the 1,600cc Kent 'crossflow' engine - a later version of which was fitted in the Fiesta XR2, launched in 1981. Latterly the CVH engine was used. Visually, the XR2 popped into the limelight in a range of new colours, with alloy wheels, and plastic trim decorating the interior and exterior. With a quoted performance of 0-60mph in 9.3 seconds and 105mph top speed, the XR2 'hot hatch' became a cult car beloved of young enthusiasts throughout the 1980s.This rare find was originally registered by Laidlaw Ford of Edinburgh on the 28th February 1986 to its one and only keeper, who used the car occasionally for a few years before being taken to his home in Sicily. Finished in a period Rosso Red with a Shadow Grey cloth interior and 'pepperpot' alloys, the XR2 was stored in a dry warm garage where, once again, the little Fiesta was infrequently used. It returned to the UK in early 2023 when it was duly recommissioned including a timing belt, water pump, a brake service, a full oil service and, of course, a fresh MOT.The car has had a small amount of paint rectification just to make it as close as possible to the sort of finish you might expect from a car that has covered only 13,000 miles from new. It's still registered to its one and only keeper and showing zero previous owners. With performance Fords continuing to gain momentum, at every level, this super low-mileage XR2 is sure to generate interest and is certain to please any new keeper.Specification Make: FORD Model: FIESTA Year: 1986 Chassis Number: VS6BXXWPFBGY05268 Registration Number: C367 USG Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 05268 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 12999 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Shadow Grey ClothClick here for more details and images

Research and information regarding this very interesting chronometer was illustrated and written in an article for the Antiquarian Horology Journal in March 1987. This states that approximately 90 marine chronometers were purchased by the Observatory at Greenwich from J.R.Arnold and this chronometer number 573 was one of them. The article goes on to state that this chronometer was first issued on 17th January 1825 for use on the ship "The Romney" under Capt Lockyer. On the 23rd February 1831 it was re-issued to "The Kent" under Capt Pym and then re-issued to the following ships in succession 2nd March 1832 "Romney", 3rd Feb 1834 "Blonde", 9th Dec 1843 "Camelion", 23rd Oct 1849, 31st March 1854 HMS "Alban", 31st March 1855 HMS "Orion", 6th Oct 1856 Mr F Dent, 28th March 1866 HMS "Pallas".

This article mentions that this is a very rare example of an original carved oak case and typical of the early years of longcase clock making and is the same form of case to the lantern clock early cases. It is also noted that only a small amount of these 'coffin' form cases survive and it is also very rare to see a case like this with its original carving from the late 17th Century, which is thought only a handful are known today.Original carved case with good colour and has a nice patina to the surfaces, case with some minor chips in parts to the edges and general wear due to age, dial is discoloured, movement looks complete but is dirty.

Omega: A Rare "Ed White" Pre-Moon Stainless Steel Chronograph Wristwatch, signed Omega, model: Speedmaster, so called by collectors "Ed White", ref: 105.003, 1965, (calibre 321) lever movement signed and numbered 25446519, column wheel chronograph, dust cover, matte finished black dial with luminous baton markers, outer fifth of seconds track, three dials for seconds, 30 minute and 12 hour registers, buttons in the band to operate the chronograph, black tachymeter bezel, screw back with the Speedmaster Sea Horse logo, inside back cover stamped Omega Watch Co and numbered 105.003-65, Omega stainless steel bracelet with a deployant clasp numbered 1479, with Omega boxes, original guarantee booklet, instruction booklets and two spare bracelet links 39mm wide The pre-moon Speedmaster reference 105.003 is colloquially referred to as the "Ed White" Speedmaster because this model type and reference was worn by NASA Astronaut Edward Higgins "Ed" White (1930-1967) when he was the first American to walk in space in 1965. The reference 105.003 is rare as it was only in production for around three years from 1963 and then superseded by the 'professional' reference version 105.012 which, famously, was worn on the moon landing in 1969. Typical features of the "Ed White" pre-moon Speedmaster are the straight lugs, no crown guards and just signed on the dial Omega Speedmaster without the professional signature. This example has been in the same ownership since new and comes with the original International guarantee booklet stating its purchase on the 28th.2.1970. The guarantee booklet is marked with reference number 145.003 which can be seen on other examples in the past from research.
