- Extremely rare 5-speed manual and presumed a special order car - Only two recorded keepers from new and showing less than 20,000 miles - Reportedly 'very good to excellent' overall, Biscuit leather and MOT'd till Oct 2016 Any Series III XJ Saloon is a beautifully refined way to travel and the Daimler variant is a step further with its luxuriously appointed interior and legendary ride quality. In nearly all cases these cars are fitted with smooth but power sapping automatic transmissions, but to have direct control of the fuel injected engine's performance through the 5-Speed manual gearbox fitted to this example must surely make it a fantastic driving experience. This Daimler Sovereign 4.2 is described by the vendor as being in 'very good to excellent' overall condition, and this coupled with its rare gearbox choice and wonderfully period colour combination must make the car a special find for collectors of the Jaguar and Daimler marques. As well as the high level of standard Daimler features, this Sovereign also boasts an electric sunroof and electric height adjustment to the front seats. A copy of an October 1989 issued registration document on file shows that this 4.2 was sold new to a Mr Jepson of Whickham, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and photographs of it glistening on a driveway show it as having the personalised number plate THJ 15. The history file also contains a hand-written sales invoice dated November 5th 1989 from Mr Jepson to the car's second and current recorded keeper, a gentleman from a village near Nantwich, Cheshire. A letter from this gentleman written in January 2016 states that he acquired the car from Mr Jepson when the odometer recorded just over 19,000 miles, and shortly after purchasing the car he felt that it was too good an example to use as every day transport and placed it in dry storage in his barn. Sensibly he claims to have occasionally exercised the car on his property, but at the age of ninety-five, he has given up driving and the car needs to find a new home. The car was issued with a new MOT certificate on October 14th 2015 when the odometer recorded just 19,620 miles, which joins previous certificates in the file from May 1986 when the odometer recorded 7,975 miles, July 1987 at 11,694 miles, September 1988 at 15,973 miles, September 1989 at 19,224 miles, and May 1991 at 19,577 miles. This must present a very rare opportunity to acquire a Daimler Sovereign with manual transmission, such low recorded owners and mileage, and in such a fine reported condition.

- 5 litre V8, automatic transmission, Holley carburettor with ram air scoop - 41,138 recorded miles and MOT'd into July 2016 - UK Supplied, rare RHD example and 4 previous keepers The phenomenal success of the '64 Mustang is engrained in American automotive folklore, and while McQueen's Detective Frank Bullitt immortalised the '68 Fastback variant, the fact is that by the end of that decade the model had grown too big and sales had dropped away. So in 1970 Lee Iacocca ordered the development of an all-new smaller pony car and, in a fortunate piece of timing, the newcomer arrived coincident with the oil crisis - 'the right car at the right time' - and over one million examples were sold during its four year reign. The Mustang II on offer is a 1976 Liftback model that's equipped with the top of the range 4.9-litre (302ci) V8 engine, the intake to the Holley carburettor of which is aided by a 'ram air' scoop. Finished in Bronze and trimmed in a mix of Bronze and Black, 'ORH 152P' is a rare UK-supplied right-hand drive example that's had five keepers to date, the most recent of which has retained the fast Ford since 2010. He is now selling it complete with a sales invoice from 1977, Haynes manual, club magazine, and collection of old invoices and MOTs, plus one valid to July 14th 2016.
Lot 43
- Believed genuine 31,800 miles from new - Condition described as being excellent and concours - Comprehensive history with copy of original sales invoice This MG Maestro is one of the early 1600 variants with just 31,800 miles showing on its digital dashboard. The vendor has enjoyed having the 'hot hatch' as part of his MG and Austin collection and variously rates its bodywork and paintwork as 'A+ / concours' and its engine and gearbox as 'excellent'. Informing us that the voice synthesiser is working, he adds 'A very full history file is presented with the car, and compliments what is today, a very rare MG. The car has not suffered the passage of time, the upholstery, and all trim, red carpets and seat belts, herringbone tweed grey cloth such a striking feature of the model, remain undamaged and fresh. As does the whole car, an example it would be very hard to repeat'. Original hand and service books are present, as is a copy of the original sales invoice from Grays Thurrock Motors (Essex), showing central door locking, electric front windows, and a steel sliding sunroof having been chosen as options, along with the metallic Opaline Green livery. The current MOT expires in June 2016.
