Ford Capri 1600GT 1972 - Recently repatriated from Germany is this UK spec Right Hand Drive 1600GT MK1 Capri.Since February 1992 it has been owned and on display at a Ford Main dealership in Europe, as part of a personal collection of classic cars after receiving a body restoration (at this time it was changed from its original blue colour to the resplendent orange colour you see today) .The interior is said to be original and in excellent condition. It is rare to have a full “webasto” type roof also in excellent order.In December 2015 it was refreshed prior to being put back on the road and registered as historic. This included new tyres, brake pipes, water pump etc. and it passed the very stringent local test with flying colours.UPDATE:Now with us here in the UK, having just completed a 1000KM drive from Germany, through weather that was forcing many modern cars to pull over, without missing a beat!Now with its UK MOT which it passed with no advisories and during which the MOT tester took pictures as he had never seen a MK1 Capri that has never had or did not need welding underneath! Interior as we were told, is excellent with all the gauges etc working as they should. Even the original Ford radio works! Back on its original UK registration number.Mechanically it is very strong. No nasty whines from the back axle like so many old Fords. Engine runs smoothly with good oil pressure and water temperature. Brakes work as they should having had new wheel cylinders prior to its trip.Just a lovely MK1 Capri that is truly “Turn Key” and ready to go having returned to its Spiritual home, Essex.
Lot 111
Lotus Cortina MK2 Right Hand Drive - With only 34 Lotus Cortina’s now listed as registered with DVLA in total, they are a rare site but ask yourself “When was the last time you saw a MK2??” Being the even rarer of the two Lotus Cortina Models this MK2 was built in 1968 and is a UK car so right hand drive. Having been restored, is rust free and was resprayed in the original factory colours. Engine and gearbox are very good with the engine having had a recent rebuild apx. 200 miles ago so will still need an amount of running in, plus an oil and filter change is recommended in another 300 or so miles to be on the safe side. Interior is very nice with just a small crack in the dash pad on the top of the instrument binnacle and a lovely patina of age, while mechanically it is described as all very good. Under the bonnet where the interesting bit is, is very nice and with very little work would be show worthy, but to hell with that! These cars are meant to be driven with the engine, exhaust note and handling only a Lotus Twin Cam can give, there to be enjoyed. Prices on all “Fast Fords” rise year on year and this represents a chance to buy one of the most desirable Fords produced. With the car receiving a fresh mot prior to the auction, it will be ready for its new owner.
Lot 118
MG Magnette Mk4 “Farina” 1963 LHD Automatic - In 1961 MG replaced their Mk3 Farina bodied Magnette with the MK4 improving the handling and engine along the way with new anti-roll bars front and rear, suspension that lowered the ride height of the car plus a longer, wider wheel base. The engine was replaced using the 1622cc unit from their successful sports car the MGA. All this gave these later MG saloons handling and performance more akin to the sports car heritage associated with the “MG” name. This superb example is a very rare automatic gearbox equipped Left Hand Drive model that was manufactured for the USA home market and first registered in 1963. Having spent most of its life prior to re-importation in a warm dry climate and with only 67000 odd miles recorded in total, it has survived excellently both externally and internally. Presented in a lovely hue of dark green, the paintwork appears to be original with only small areas where the expected odd scratch etc have been rectified over the years. As the vendor states, this car has never been rusty or restored. The interior is the same, still original in Dove Grey leather and having never had a radio fitted the dash is un-cut with the original matching wood blanking plate in place and unused standard speaker mount below. There is a small area of discoloration to the driver’s seat bolster which seems to be where something was spilt and then cleaned at some point. Easy to recolonise to lose this which the vendor resisted doing as he preferred its originality. Mechanically the vendor describes the engine as “runs as quiet as a mouse” with the auto gearbox operating as it was designed to, as do all the other mechanics on the car. In fact in 2015 he completed a 1000 odd mile trip through France visiting the famous WW2 sites such as Normandy, all without the car missing a beat. The car comes complete with a large file of old MOT’s, invoices etc etc plus handbooks, manuals and period sales literature, it even has an original American “Pink slip” . The vendor also wants to bring to attention to all perspective owners, the car is so original it is still running as a “positive Earth” car as designed. With only 7 in total Farina bodied MK3 and 4 Magnettes now left taxed for road use and one more on SORN, these cars are getting exceedingly rare and are increasing in value every day. This is a turn key ready to go car with the vendor placing a new MOT prior to its sale at the auction. Being offered at the sort of reserve that makes it a must buy for any collector or somebody looking for an entry into affordable classic car ownership. NOTE. Personal plate has been removed now back on the correct Age Related “A” suffix plate and a “Heritage Certificate” for the car is in the paperwork. The original amber front lenses are supplied if the new owner wishes to replace the clear ones with amber bulbs that are currently fitted. MOT now carried out which it passed with flying colours.
Lot 119
TVR 280i “Tasmin” 1984 - If any car epitomised the era of the “Wedge” sport cars it has to be this. Designed by the same man as the Lotus Elite S2 the TVR Tasmin, later to be called a 280i, started TVR’s range of this shape car. Fitted for the UK with a Ford V6 2.8 injected engine and offering as a first for TVR, an Automatic option alongside the 4 and 5 speed manual gearboxes. With only just under 1200 V6 engine cars produced over its 7 year production run, they make for a rare but eye catching site on the roads today. This example is a rare beast indeed, not messed with by any of its owners and apart from a recent set of GAZ shock absorbers (X4), rear suspension springs, rear hatch struts and a full set of silicon water hoses, is completely original. The metallic grey bodywork shows no signs of delamination or spiders to the fibre glass and is described as very good by the vendor, with only the slightest marks etc. Interior wise the red leather is good with just a small split to one seam on the driver’s seat and some areas of dryness that could easily re reconolised on both seats. The dash, door cards, carpets and boot area are all very good. Very unusual for an older fibre glass car is that all the electrics including mirrors windows etc still work! The vendor states that the engine, gearbox and running gear are all excellent and earlier this year he completed a trouble free tour into Europe. The car comes with a file of old MOTs and receipts helping to back up the low recorded mileage of 58300. With its current MOT until March 2017 this rare TVR is ready to enjoy.
Lot 129
Porsche 911 2.7 “Sports Coupe” 1977 - This stunning 1977 Porsche 911 SC was supplied new to Australia so is an original Right Hand Drive car. When looking at the car it is clear to see that spending the majority of its life from new, in Australia’s warm climate, has benefited it enormously with its body and underside being totally rust free and structurally sound, unlike so many Right Hand Drive cars offered on the market today. With the car is a good history file showing service and maintenance plus an extensive invoice record for new parts etc. dating right back to 2002 when the car was imported to the UK. Recent service and tuning work has been carried out by respected Porsche specialists “ Autostrasse “ of Coggeshall Essex, including a recent £3000 service and maintanance bill and there’s a years MOT on it. Body work is finished in the much sought after bright silver colour, complimented with a contrasting black interior and features a rare optional electric metal sunroof (fully operational) and although not original, a genuine Porsche Classic Stereo with Radio, CD, and Navigation features. Equipped with a 2.7 flat six engine and a manual gearbox, this is not only a real drivers machine but a magnificent investment opportunity. Cars as nice as this rare to find and the values of all air cooled 911’s are climbing year on year. This car is turnkey, ready to go, would look great in anyone’s garage or collection and is definitely better than money in the bank! PLEASE NOTE: The personal plate will be removed prior to sale and replaced with the original age related plate issued by DVLA. As such it does NOT form any part of nor is it included in the sale contract.
Lot 138
Rolls Royce Silver Spirit 1984 - Do not confuse this stunning 1984 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit with the usual fare offered for sale. Supplied new by Jack Barclay Rolls Royce to the Sultan of Brunei’s personal horse trainer then owned for the last year by the vendor, himself a famous Artist. This iconic car has only covered a mere 64,000 cosseted miles in its 32 years, with the mileage being backed up with a full Rolls Royce service history, if not by its superb over all condition. Along with its history comes a full set of owner handbooks, sales brochures and even the original bill of sale. Even more rare and desirable is that it has its original Rolls Royce Valet kit which is complete and un-used in its leather case! Plus its dealer supplied from new Rolls Royce car cover and I quote “so as not to get dusty when parked at Ascot”! Body work is undamaged and highly polished as you would expect from a car that has been chauffeur driven most of its life and the interior is the same quality, un-marked and coming complete with its rare telescopic shot glasses and very rare to find Burrwood cup holder plus ashtray and picnic tables. The vendor reports that this car drives as good as new, is “Excellent” in all aspects and if it was not for an up-coming project that he needs space for, there is no way he would be offering it for sale. So if you want a beautiful Rolls Royce that comes with everything and more, this is it. Currently MOT’d through to February next year it is ready to go to its new owner
Lot 140
Chevrolet “Silverado” C10 Stepside Truck 1978 - Rare to find with a “Step-side” this 1978 Chevy truck has spent most of its life in St Tropez which helps to explain its rust free condition. Equipped with a 5.7 litre V8 and a 4 speed automatic transmission plus again rare to find twin fuel tanks, making it perfect for the drive back from France the vendor made after purchase and in his words “it puts a smile on your face every time you drive it” Prior to purchase the paint work was refreshed, the engine and gearbox were rebuilt and the interior received a new seat and carpets, making it in the very nice condition you see today. One of the most striking features of the truck is not only the way it drives with power steering and power brakes to assist, but how good it is underneath with no signs of any rust or nasty repairs. Oh, and then there is the exhaust note! Not over loud just that glorious rumble only an American V8 can make. Coming complete with its French papers, a UK MOT and a Nova certificate, it is ready to be registered on to UK plates if purchased by a UK buyer and ECCA are more than happy to assist in this process. Alternatively we are happy for a small fee to carry out the registration on your behalf.

Fiat 500D “Transformabile” 1964 - Back in 1960 Fiat launched the Fiat 500D as a replacement for the outgoing model the Nuova 500. While retaining the outgoing models “suicide doors” they decided to replace the full length folding roof with one that only folded halfway, apart from that is on the rare model they called the “Transformable” making this model particularly sought after and very collectable today. Here we have a lovely example. Built in 1964 and restored approximately 10 years ago by an Italian Coachbuilder in Italy who rebuilt the engine, the interior and painted the body. Today the paint work is still very presentable with only minor imperfections. In fact all the original glass is still in place and is clear with only very fine hairline marks. All exterior trim is present, correct and in good condition and complimented by new chrome bumpers. The interior is still in great condition and it even the original over mats are present with only light marks. The engine starts with no hesitation, settles down to a nice even tick over and when on the road pulls cleanly, making the most of the 17hp that its 499cc produces. All the electrics work correctly and the overall mechanics are described as very good and there is a current UK MOT until 21st April 2017. Having watched and seen what other examples have sold for,this car is being offered with a very reasonable reserve and would complement any collection while increasing in value year on year.
Lot 146
Rover 3500 P6 Automatic 1972 - Every now and then you see a car that makes you think” Where has that been all its life? This 1972 Rover P6 3500 is one of those cars. With only 72618 recorded miles on the clock and with a service history that fills its service book to back that up, it can only be described as Excellent in fact the exterior that is the only part of the car that has been restored is described by the vendor as “As New” a major claim for any car that is over 40 years old! Interior is completely original, the black leather is lovely and gives off that welcoming smell only old leather can give. While showing little or no wear but having that lovely and correct aged finish. All the electrics internally are correct and fully functioning as are the external electrics too. Mechanically all aspects again are described as “excellent” with the engine starting instantly, the big V8 up front still pulling as strongly as the day it left the factory and the Automatic gearbox changing smoothly and correctly.

Chevrolet GMC Silverado 5.7 V8 “Step- Side” 4×4 Truck - This very rare to find in this spec, 1991 Chevrolet Silverado “Short Bed, Step-Side” truck is equipped with a potent 5.7 Litre V8 Petrol engine! “Ye-har” as our cousins over the pond would say!! But best of all it is also the 4 wheel drive version so with all that power going through GM’s bullet proof Automatic gearbox and 4 wheel drive system, straight onto the ground, this truck is not for the feint hearted! Its vendor does however say that with a lighter foot on the pedal, it is surprisingly good on fuel and docile in everyday use, he regularly loads up the back for tip runs etc.Being such a high spec truck it comes with all the creature comforts of a luxury car, electric windows, central locking, power steering, air conditioning and cruise control to name a few, all of which function as designed. The seats are in a more luxurious cloth than the lower spec trucks in the range and have proved to be very comfortable on the longer journeys. All of the interior is in very good order.Body work is very good with just one small crack on the l/h rear bumper capping and has some nice touches throughout. General mechanics are very good as are the external electrics on the outside of the truck. The engine is superb, starting instantly and soon settling into a quiet but meaningful throb. On the road it pulls cleanly through the rev range and the automatic gearbox changes smoothly , brakes are very good and the exhaust note, although definitely allowing the truck that um-mistakable V8 noise, is not to obtrusive.All in all a very tidy truck in a rare configuration that needs nothing and can be a stylish load -lugger or a show truck, the choice is yours? Supplied with a current MOT so ready to go
