A head-turning little Crossblade presented as a tribute to Sir Stirling Moss and '722'.One of only 2,000, a skateboard for grown-ups, packaged by Mercedes for Smart70bhp Brabus-tuned 599cc 3-cylinder engine. Six-speed semi-automatic transmission'0105' has been uniquely finished as a Sir Stirling Moss / 722 tribute carOnly 7,334 miles on the odometer. Fresh MOTExcellent condition throughout. 'X1 BDE' will remain with the vehicleThe venerable Smart Car has always been somewhat of an outsider in the automotive world, thanks to its diminutive proportions, quirky styling and unusual mechanical setup, although it has found favour with city-dwellers and car enthusiasts alike, and no Smart is more unusual than the somewhat whacky open-cabin Crossblade of 2002. Initially unveiled in 2001 at the Geneva Motor Show as a concept vehicle, the reaction to the design was such that Smart, owned by Mercedes-Benz, moved to put the Crossblade into limited production, with a total of 2,000 being produced, each individually numbered and designed as collectors items from the outset. Marketed as a vehicle “uncompromisingly designed for blue skies and high spirits” many considered the Crossblade to be the spiritual successor to the likes of the Bond Bug, Beach Buggy and Mini Moke, cars that were designed with joy and fun as their utmost priority, and practicality and driving experience as an afterthought.That said, the driving experience did receive some attention courtesy of Brabus, who tuned the 599cc three-cylinder engine to produce 70bhp, which may not sound like much, but gives the Crossblade plenty of excitement out on the road, thanks to its exposed nature and low kerb weight of only 1,600lbs.This particular example has enjoyed the company of only four owners throughout its 20-year lifetime, during which it has covered c.7,500 miles, as substantiated by its MOT history and other records. Purchased by our vendor - a serial Smart enthusiast and ex-Smart Car specialist - around four years ago, the intention was to follow the world-famous Mille Miglia around Italy, which - along with his love of Sir Stirling Moss and heritage Mercedes-Benz race cars - led to the decision to transform this Crossblade with a number of vinyl graphics into a Sir Stirling Moss tribute car. Unfortunately, this planned trip never came to fruition as a result of various lockdowns throughout 2020 and the reversal of the MM route in 2021.This bad luck, along with the imminent shrinkage of the vendor’s car storage space, has forced the sale of this unusual and head-turning example of the quirky Crossblade.The vendor states that other than some minor paintwork, the application of the racing-inspired graphics and general servicing, this example has wanted for nothing, and it recently sailed through its latest MOT test, with the examiner commending the condition of the vehicle and the care that our vendor has put into maintaining it to the highest standard.The cherished registration, X1 BDE, seen on the vehicle is included in the sale. This is a rare opportunity to obtain one of just 2,000 Crossblades, a rare example of concept design making it to the production stage with minimal changes, and a true landmark in the Smart Car history books - one not to miss!

And still we find them. Chassis Number#90 in its original shade of Pearl Grey.‘Outside Bonnet Lock’ cars are often regarded as the Holy Grail of E-TypesFinished in its original shade of Pearl Grey with Black Smooth Interior and HoodA matching numbers example restored by Marque Specialist Rothwell Engineering, completed in 2020Restoration fresh with only shake-down miles covered since completionYour early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to satisfy yourself with regards to the stunning restoration that has gone into bringing 850090 back to life The story of the E-Type requires little introduction, however, what perhaps may need some explanation is the position in the market of the very early cars and their importance to collectors and marque enthusiasts alike. In common with Works of Art, Furniture, Philately, Fine Wines and all the other things people collect, the rarest and best quality items tend to attract collectors' interest and inevitably, the harder they are to find, the more expensive they can become. Should there be a number of well-heeled collectors chasing a particular painting, for example, then the result can be a serious clash of egos and wallets. This is equally true of Classic Cars and the E-Type is a perfect example. The most sought after of all the E-Types are the first 92 right-hand drive cars produced and these are easily distinguished by their outside bonnet locks.Having formed part of a private collection in recent years, this exceptional right-hand drive, outside bonnet lock (OBL) roadster is finished in its original shade of Pearl Grey with a black interior and matching hood. One of the earliest E-Types produced, Chassis No #90 has had a no expense spared, ground-up restoration overseen by marque specialists, Rothwell Engineering, completed in 2020 and is a matching numbers example of one of the earliest E-Types produced. As you would expect, the standard of finish is exemplary and a true credit to the craftsmen that have been involved in rebuilding this British great. So fresh indeed is the restoration and with only settling in miles covered, it is suggested that a period of running-in be followed to achieve the very best from this beautifully rebuilt Jaguar. A rare opportunity to acquire what must be the Holy Grail of E Types and one that has been restored to within an inch of its life. Naturally, we encourage and welcome your inspection of this rare motor car.

A super, low mileage, right-hand drive example of the very rare GTS.The rarest of all 928s, only 2,904 GTS models were builtFrom the final year of production and Singapore delivered in right-hand drivePurchased new by a British resident who brought the car back with him in 1999In beautiful original condition with Polar Silver paintwork over light grey leatherFull and documented history from new. Speedo change to MPH recorded in the service bookLess than 40,000 miles (both speedos) from new. Original book pack with service book stamped up-to-dateMost recent service with a Porsche specialist at 31,541 miles (July 2020). Current mileage 31,595In terms of the 928, in 1989 Porsche moved the game on with the even more powerful 928 GT, which with a top speed of around 170mph was the Stuttgart firm's fastest production car at that time, before launching the model's ultimate incarnation, the 928 GTS. Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1991, the latter boasted a 5.4-litre engine producing all of 345bhp and automatics were fitted with the much faster responding Dynamic Kickdown gearboxes setting them apart from the previous models. Externally, the GTS differed from the S4 with its new style of alloy wheels, flared rear arches and a body-coloured rear spoiler. What Porsche was not advertising when the 928GTS was released was the price, which was amongst the most expensive cars on the road at the time. This severely hampered sales despite the model's level of competency and long standard equipment list. Porsche discontinued the GTS in 1995 after selling only 2,904 examples in total, which at the time was a problem, but in 2020 makes for a rare and incredibly desirable model.Offered here is a Singapore delivered (C28), right-hand drive, 928 GTS supplied new by Stuttgart Auto Pte. Ltd. and registered on 6 January 1995. Specified by a British resident in Singapore in Polar Silver paintwork with Classic grey leather interior the buyer couldn’t leave his Porsche behind and imported the car back to the UK in 1999. From new servicing was carried out at regular intervals by the supplying dealer in Singapore then Porsche main agents in the UK up to 2009.Our vendor carefully selected this example to become part of his collection in 2010 and since then the GTS has been enjoyed occasionally, carefully dry stored and when required service by the local Porsche specialist with a great industry reputation for Porsche of this era. Present in the history file is the original book-pack with original service book stamped up-to-date. The most recent service shows in July 2020 with an MOT completed at the same time. The current is valid until 26/07/2022. A speedo change to MPH is also documented by Porsche Centre Kent in March 1999 at 12,407 Km (7,593 miles).The exterior of this example is exceptional and the interior shows only light wear as expected with a car from the mid 90s. The wheels are in great shape and fitted with correct premium brand tyres as you will see in the detailed images and video footage. On test, the car fired into life with ease and the engine sounded good and healthy. The accompanying history file includes the aforementioned book-pack, associated paperwork, old MOTs, the current MOT and current V5c ready for transfer.Our vendor, a genuine classic car enthusiast, speaks fondly of trips in his GTS to Tuscany with the old V8 eating the miles with ease. Along with handsome lines and reasonable maintenance costs, these front engine V8 Porsche GTs from the 90s are becoming increasingly popular and difficult to source in such lovely condition.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 928Year: 1995Chassis Number: W00ZZZ92ZRS800485Registration Number: M198 EAHTransmission: AutoEngine Number: 81R50931 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 31594 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: GreyClick here for more details and images
Lot 612
One of the finest examples of this rare model to be found in Europe, with extensive bills for recent works.Manufactured in 1988 and shipped to the US, the car was registered in the UK on the 9th July 2012Finished in Smoke Silver with matching hardtop and beige leather interior under a contrasting brown soft-topOptions from new include Outside Temp Gauge, Rear Spoiler Delete, Airbag, Becker Mexico Radio, Paintwork Preservation, Automatic AntennaA 2021 bill for £18,0000 covers the Euro Spec cosmetic conversion, paintwork, suspension works and four new tyresThe odometer reading of some 42,500 miles (atoc) is corroborated by the car’s CarFax report and UK issued MOTs since 2012Offered to auction with handbooks and an MOT until October 2022. Perfect for continental touring.Produced during the final years of the globally successful R107 range, the Mercedes-Benz 560SL was the largest displacement offered, with a 5.6-litre V8 engine produced to combat the restrictive emissions regulations primarily in California. It might seem counter productive to us today but, back in the late 1980s, it was only by increasing displacement to 5.6-litres that the USA specification cars could be given comparable performance to the European 500SL and still comply with the necessary emissions rules. As is often the case with motorcars, it is this range-topping ‘560SL’ badge that buyers so desire, particularly as the largest displacement SL was never offered in Europe – it was only available in the USA, Japan and Australia. It's recorded as having been manufactured in 1988 and shipped to California in the factory colours of Smoke Silver, matching hard top and brown soft top with beige leather interior. Options from new included an Outside Temp Gauge, Rear Spoiler Delete, Airbag, Becker Mexico Radio, Paintwork Preservation, Automatic Antenna, Folding Arm Rest and Illuminated Vanity Mirrors. The accompanying CarFax reports incremental increases in mileage from 1991 until it left California in 2012. The car was registered in the UK on the 9th July 2012 and used for holidays in Marbella, where it remained most of the time, returning to the UK for an MOT most years. The current odometer reading was some 42,500 miles at the time of cataloguing. US Federal crash-testing regulations of the period required the fitting of larger bumpers which ruined the R107’s sleek good looks, however, a 'Euro Spec' facelift in 2021 saw the ugly bumpers removed, and a repaint in factory colours with suspension works for a total bill of £18,140. The alloy wheels were refurbished and four correct Michelin tyres fitted, coming to £1,211 and included in the works receipt dated 15th September 2021. As a consequence of this cosmetic update this car is extremely rare in Europe.The Mercedes is presented to auction with handbooks, the CarFax report, UK MOT history and aforementioned £18,000 invoice. We can think of no other left-hand drive R107 for sale in today’s market that combines the rare 5.6-litre V8 engine with the classic good looks of a European-supplied car and this long-legged SL would be perfect for Continental touring.SpecificationMake: MERCEDESModel: R107 SLYear: 1988Chassis Number: WDBBA48DXJA085461Registration Number: E233 KHKTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 11796712035465 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 42500 MilesMake: Only LHDInterior Colour: Beige LeatherClick here for more details and images

One of only 76 RHD examples of the DB7GT. 435bhp V12, a manual gearbox and pin-sharp handling. Fabulous.UK-supplied, right hand drive DB7 V12 GT in current private ownership since 2012Finished in Solway Grey Mica with a two-tone grey leather interior and is rare as it sits on the larger optional alloys for the GTNaturally fitted with the desirable manual gearbox. 73,592 miles have been covered (atoc)Recent service at marque specialist McGurk PerformanceRefurbished wheels, air-con compressor, new tyres, fresh MOT valid until 8th February 2023An opportunity to enjoy V12, manual gearbox Aston ownership in a rare model at a very sensible guide.For some Aston Martin customers, even a Vantage engine just didn't quite do the job. Demand for a higher-performance DB7 was sufficient to persuade Aston to develop the DB7 GT, crafted for those drivers who wanted more power, increased handling, and an overall greater driving experience.In 2002, the new variant of the DB7 was launched, named the V12 GT or GTA when equipped with automatic transmission. Its V12 engine produced 435 bhp and 410 lb·ft of torque in the manual car, although the automatic GTA retained the 420 bhp and 400 lb·ft of torque of the standard DB7 Vantage. Additionally, the GT and GTA chassis had substantially uprated suspension from the DB7 Vantage models.The existing six-cylinder DB7 bodyshell was re-engineered to accommodate the new V12 engine/transmission package, resulting in a 20% stiffer structure exceeding all contemporary crash test requirements, while the suspension was developed specifically for this new model. Cross-drilled 355 mm front and 330 mm rear vented-disc brakes assisted retardation and new five-spoke,18-inch alloy wheels were fitted to provide optimum levels of performance and grip.Special attention was paid to the aerodynamic balance with the adoption of additional sweeps for the undertray, wheel arch liner extensions and a revised boot lid spoiler which enhanced the new look. These additions helped to reduce lift by almost 50%. Aesthetically, compared to the Vantage, it has a mesh front grille, vents in the bonnet, a boot spoiler, an aluminium gear lever, optional carbon fibre trim and those new wheels. Production of the GT and GTA was extremely limited, as only 190 GTs and 112 GTAs were produced worldwide.This, UK supplied, right-hand drive DB7 GT is one of those 190 and has been in current private ownership since 2012 having bought the car from Marque specialist, McGurk Performance. It's finished in Solway Grey Mica with a two-tone grey leather interior and sits on a set of the larger optional alloys for the GT. Being a GT it's naturally fitted with the desirable manual gearbox and it had covered 73,592 miles at the time of cataloguing.Following a few years of dry storage, the GT has recently been serviced by McGurk performance and at the same time they also replaced the air conditioning compressor, replaced a broken spring, refurbed the wheels, fitted new tyres and have recently issued it with a fresh MOT valid until 8th February 2023.An opportunity to enjoy V12, manual gearbox Aston ownership in a rare model at a very sensible guide.

Superbly presented, well maintained and less than 24,000 miles from new.Modern, aerodynamic and efficient body shape, with distinctive side strakes4.9-litre V12 producing 390bhp, capable of 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds and 196mphOriginally delivered to Europe with the correct Tipo F113B engine in late 1991Exported to Japan but returned to the UK in 2015The previous owner instructed Lights Cars Action (LCA) of Bordon to carry out a substantial mechanical re-commission (see website). Finished in early 2018 and LCA's account for this was £17,676 (invoice in file)Further attention in 2019 by Joe Macari Servicing (£3,952) @ 38,270km (23,780 miles)Only 122km (76miles) since then. Accompanied by its V5C, invoices and manuals etc.When Ferrari introduced the Testarossa at the Lido on the Champs-Elysees on the eve of the 1984 Paris Salon de l’Auto, it caused a sensation. The crisp, square-cut almost deliberately functional lines and superior mechanical specification instantly rendered the 512BBi yesterday’s car and was rightly regarded as possibly the best car Ferrari had ever built.The name 'Testarossa', literally Redhead, became synonymous with Ferrari sports racing cars in the ‘50s and ‘60s and was resurrected at that seminal 1984 launch. Housing a sweet and free-revving 4.9-litre flat dry-sumped V12 engine producing 390bhp, now cooled by rear positioned radiators, the car was capable of a respectable 0-60 mph time of 5.2 seconds and a top speed of c180mph. Produced between 1984 and 1991, some 7,177 Testarossas were made in total. Once again, time showed Pininfarina's design to be durable, and throughout the 1980s, the distinctive 'strakes' were echoed in other design disciplines from cars to kettles. However, although the design may have seemed to be 'of the moment', the Testarossa proved itself to be a well-built car, and despite its 'Eiger-rivaling' list price, turned out to be Ferrari's most successful model ever.The final evolution of the model (sometimes called ’88.5’ models) featured a lot more changes than just the new five-stud wheels. There were modifications to the steering column, suspension including the dampers, a wider track and new brake discs. From 1989, Testarossas ran the ‘B’-spec motor with KE-Jetronic and catalytic converters.Today, the Testarossa is a design icon, symbolic of eighties culture, and despite a period in the ‘boondocks’, its popularity is returning rapidly. It's not a surprise really since the Testarossa offers a rare package of serious performance, practicality, reasonable comfort and confidence-inspiring handling at high speed that becomes almost addictive.Originally delivered to Europe with the correct Tipo F113B engine in late 1991, this Testarossa was exported to Japan at some point, however, appears to have been hardly used there and was imported to the UK in 2015. It was purchased by its previous owner in May 2015 but not UK registered immediately, remaining in dry storage whilst he assessed his options. The following year he instructed Lights Cars Action (LCA) of Bordon, Hampshire to commence a full mechanical re-commission which included engine removal, replacement of cam belts, new clutch, overhauling brake calipers, new fuel pumps and hoses, new electric window motors, new distributor caps and HT leads, reconditioned starter motor, replacement brake master cylinder and much more. This work was finished in early 2018 and LCA's account for this was £17,676 and a detailed copy is in the file. The car was UK registered on 2/07/2018 and purchased by our vendor on 24/07/2018 to join the other impressive cars in his Collection where it has been enjoyed occasionally. It received further attention in January 2019 when a TDC sensor was replaced and the engine carefully set up by Joe Macari Servicing at a cost of £3,952 with the indicated mileage at that point 38,270km (23,780 miles). The Ferrari has only covered a further 122km (76miles) since then. It's accompanied by its V5C, invoices and manuals etc.Even today, few cars can match the on-road presence of a Testarossa, and this fastidiously maintained, low mileage example represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of these remarkable high-performance Ferraris at a very sensible guide.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: TESTAROSSAYear: 1991Chassis Number: ZFFAA17B000077224Registration Number: J185 EFUTransmission: ManualOdometer Reading: 38392 KMMake: Interior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

Desirable, UK-supplied, right-hand drive, low mileage car that's very sensibly guided.Originally supplied by Nigel Mansell Sports Cars in August 1992Coming from long-term ownership having formed part of a small collection in recent yearsA current recorded mileage of just under 43,000Accompanied by its original book pack retained and extensive history portfolioEntry-level Ferrari ownership for a most realistic outlay.The Ferrari 348 Series marked a radical departure in the way Maranello constructed its cars, replacing as they did a chassis of traditional steel tubes with a much stiffer monocoque structure and a tubular rear subframe. Suspension remained independent, front and rear, with wishbones, springs, telescopic shocks, anti-roll bars and revised geometry. The ventilated disc brakes were much larger than those of its predecessor, the Ferrari 328, and used anti-lock technology. A midship-mounted V8 returned, but it was larger and more powerful displacing 3405cc, mounted longitudinally and mated to a transverse gearbox with the displacement accounting for the new car's Ferrari 348 designation. The suffix ‘TB’ was derived from the transverse gearbox and closed 'Berlinetta' body style. A higher compression ratio and updated fuel injection helped generate 300 horsepower, 30-40 more than the Ferrari 328, whilst a dry-sump oiling system gave the new Ferrari a lower centre of gravity. The 348 was the last design under the supervision of legendary chief stylist Leonardo Fioravanti, and a lot of the styling cues came from the Testarossa, particularly the side strakes, however, its forms were softer than those of the 328 but still curvaceous and with a longer wheelbase and wider track the interior had a bit more space.Originally supplied by Nigel Mansell Sports Cars in August 1992, this particular right-hand drive 348 Transversale Berlinetta is finished in Rosso Corsa with Crema hide and has a current recorded mileage of 42,916. Having been in long-term ownership, some sixteen years, the Ferrari comes complete with a comprehensive service history and detailed service / ownership records as well as its original book pack within its tan hide cover. Presented in superb order throughout, this is one of just 130 right-hand drive, manual gearbox cars produced for the UK market adding desirability to this rare thoroughbred and with 348 values moving steadily in recent years, this superb example offers entry-level Ferrari ownership for a most realistic outlay.

A striking example of the rare and desirable, UK-spec GTS 'QV'.Traditionally finished in Rosso Corsa with a Crema interiorOne of just 233 right-hand drive, UK-market examples producedComplete with its original book pack and the desirable tool kitOn offer from long-term family ownershipSuperbly presented with a recent cambelt service and fresh MOT CertificateOctober 1975, saw the debut at the Paris Motor Show of the most successful shape ever to wear the Cavallino Rampante emblem, the Ferrari 308, and during its comparatively long production run from 1975-89, the model was consistently popular and kept the factory busy. This new car was constructed on a traditional steel tube chassis, but its beautiful body was initially manufactured in GRP before, after two years, Scaglietti started making GTBs in steel. The 3-litre, four-cam V8 was more or less unchanged until March 1981 when Bosch fuel injection was added in place of the 4 double-choke Webers, reducing the engine's power output significantly, although the final drive was altered on these cars to give similar acceleration to a carburettor car. Two years later, the 4-valve per cylinder Quattrovalvole or 'QV' model pushed output back up to 240 hp restoring the status quo. European-spec cars boasted higher horsepower than cars built for the American market and were somewhat lighter. Only 3,042 Spider Quattrovalvoles were produced, with just 233 RHD examples supplied to the UK and they are considered by many to be the most desirable of all the 308 variations as they are the fastest and most subtly styled with a deep front valance, racing mirrors, and short lightweight bumpers.This superb example has been in the hands of the current family owners for some twenty years and has patently been well cared for during that time. Classically finished in Rosso Corsa with a Crema interior, this QV is an original right-hand drive, UK-market car forming part of a very small production run of just 233 ordered with factory-fitted options including 16’’ Speedline Wheels, Air Conditioning, Deep Front Spoiler and a Sports Exhaust System. Reassuringly, it has a detailed service history and comes complete with its original book pack, the, now rare, tool kit and benefits from a recent cambelt service and a set of new P7 Pirellis within the last 1,400 miles.The 308 was a head turner in period and just seems to get better looking as the years go by. With current values continuing to firm, this sensibly guided GTS QV is one for the true Ferrari enthusiast to use and enjoy in the knowledge that it may turn out to be a very sensible investment.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 308 GTS QVYear: 1983Chassis Number: ZFLA13C000047343Registration Number: WIL 2767Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 47343Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 63882 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Crema HideClick here for more details and images

Blistering performance, classic looks and less than 29,000 miles from new.At launch, AMG's 493bhp, 5.4-litre supercharged V8 propelled the car to 62mph in 4.2 secondsFinished in Obsidian Black over Exclusive Red Leather with Designo Alcantara headlining. Fantastic condition in rare and desirable specification. Superb engine bayThe theatrical metal folding-roof never fails to impressJust 28,495 miles with a full service history from Mercedes-BenzNB: The Cherished Registration Number illustrated (SG 55) does not form part of the saleIntroduced in 2002, after some five years in development, the R230 Series SL Roadster was an engineering ‘tour de force’. Painstakingly modelled on a state-of-the-art supercomputer which enabled the designers to analyse every curve and line, it looked utterly sensational with an air of barely contained aggression that gave it huge road presence. Packed full of sophisticated electronic driver aids which made it immensely safe but still fun to drive, it was an instant success and is widely considered to be the best-looking Mercedes for many years.In late 2003, the stunning SL55 AMG was introduced causing shockwaves in the early-2000s performance car market with near-supercar levels of acceleration and handling, packaged in a comfortable, elegant convertible geared towards touring capability. Seriously powerful and impressively fast, the supercharged 5.4-litre V8 was rated at 493bhp with a stump-pulling 520 lbs.ft of torque. The cars were fitted with an uprated 5-speed automatic featuring AMG's 'Speedshift', there were a number of trim difference including uprated seats and the SL55 sat on a set of striking, multi-spoke AMG alloys.First registered on the 29 September 2003, this SL55 is finished in Obsidian Black over Exclusive Red Leather with Designo Alcantara headlining. The options list in 2003 was packed full of state-of-the-art equipment and, it would appear in this case, most of the boxes had been ticked. The history file is rather nicely stocked for such a modern car and includes many receipts and a full service history from Mercedes. Showing an odometer reading of some 28,495 miles, at the time of cataloguing this car represents incredible value for money. This SL55 AMG presents really, really well and appears almost unmarked. The engine bay appears showroom fresh and the whole car has patently been looked after. Ballistically quick, fabulous looks, continent covering pace, yet as civilised in town as a Toyota Corolla, it's no wonder that some 'supercar' owners tend to get a little upset.
