1960 MG A Roadster (Twincam) Transmission: manualMileage:Arguably one of the prettiest British sports cars ever built, the 'A' must have come as quite a shock to MG aficionados when it was first shown to the world in September 1955 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Having become accustomed to the pre-war look of the company's sports cars, it was a complete departure in styling and its beautiful streamlined body was right up to the minute in terms of appearance. Powered by a new engine; MG had decided that the old XPAG unit had had its day and so introduced a much more modern B Series engine that had made its debut in the recently announced Magnette Saloon. The car's design dates back to 1951, when MG designer Syd Enever created a streamlined body for George Philips' TD Le Mans car but it was worth the wait for this timeless beauty.Originally built as a left hand drive export car to the US, this MGA was repatriated to the UK in 1990. Upon returning to the UK the car underwent a body-off restoration and was converted to right hand drive guise. The engine was removed and a 2.0 Litre Rover 200 T-series, M16T twincam, 16 valve unit was fitted, producing circa 200 bhp. A five-speed gearbox was also fitted, along with coilover front suspension and uprated brakes including a servo. This handsome MGA is also fitted with 72-spoke chrome wire wheels and leather seats. An impressive history file, dating back to 1983 comes with this MGA as does a V5C registration document and a Heritage Certificate. The phrase that comes to mind is 'a wolf in sheep's clothing'. This lovely MGA is ready to enjoy straight away, either on rallies or local jaunts, who's going to be lucky enough to enjoy it? Consignor Stewart Banks

1971 Range Rover Suffix A two-door Transmission: manualMileage:58426Although now responsible for a whole lifestyle movement, the Range Rover had more humble beginnings. The first-generation Range Rover was introduced in 1970 and was not designed as a luxury 4x4; whilst certainly up-market compared to preceding Land Rover models, the early Range Rovers had fairly basic, utilitarian interiors with vinyl seats and plastic dashboards that were designed to be washed down with a hose. Convenience features such as power assisted steering, carpeted floors, air conditioning, cloth or leather seats and wooden interior trim were fitted later in the production run or as options. Marketed as 'A Car For All Reasons', the Range Rover was more capable off-road than the Land Rover but was much more comfortable, offering a top speed in excess of 100mph.First registered on 1st August 1971, the Range Rover offered here is an early and important example of the world-famous marque. The supplied British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate shows this home market Tuscan Blue 'Suffix A' example was dispatched on 6th July 1971 to the Botwoods Limited dealers in Norwich. This legendary vehicle presents extremely well following a repaint and refurbishment and we are told is a joy to drive. This example retains a lot of factory originality including period correct drop-down rear number plate and a non-heated rear screen. Sensible upgrades include the fitting of three rear seatbelts and a modern Bluetooth stereo. The original stereo is supplied with the car. Offered to auction with an original salesman's manual, owners guide, owner's manual and V5C registration document this Range Rover is ready to be enjoyed or form part of a serious collection.

1999 Range Rover P38 4.6 HSE Transmission: automaticMileage:8008The Range Rover is a large luxury four-wheel drive sport utility vehicle launched in 1970 and is now in its fourth-generation. In 1967, the first Range Rover prototype was built with the classic Range Rover shape clearly discernible although with a different front grille and headlight configuration. The design of the Range Rover was eventually finalised and signed off in 1969. Some 25 years after the introduction of the first-generation Range Rover, the second-generation Range Rover model designation P38 was introduced for the 1995 model year with an updated version of the Rover V8 engines. There was also the option of a 2.5 litre BMW six-cylinder turbo-diesel engine. This was a result of BMW's subsequent ownership of Rover Group and hence the Land Rover brand. The new model offered more equipment and was positioned above the Land Rover Discovery to face the increased competition in the SUV marketplace. This model was the last to feature the Rover V8 engine and interior leather supplied by Connolly who sadly went out of business in 2002.Originally registered on 30th September 1999 this fabulous P38 Range Rover has only covered 8,008 miles from new and as such presents in exceptional condition. Finished in Rioja Red with a Sandstone leather interior this top of the range 4x4 benefits from a wood/leather steering wheel, electric seats, automatic transmission, climate control, factory fitted sunroof, side steps and a towbar. The paperwork with this Range Rover includes the original Guy Salmon invoice of £51,397, various bills and receipts and a service book with three stamps. Also present is the V5c Registration document and an MOT test certificate valid until January 2025.This must be one of the finest P38 examples available in today's market. Consigned by Dominic Lake 

Lot 211

1973 MG B GT V8 Police Car Transmission: manualMileage:22901The MGB was first introduced in May 1962 as a direct replacement for the MGA.  Performance was brisk with power supplied by a 1798cc four-cylinder iron block engine set within a monocoque lightweight bodyshell with crumple zones incorporated. October 1965 saw the introduction of the GT and was based on the already popular roadster.  Designed by Pinninfarina, the new GT sported a hatchback giving useful access to the rear luggage space and a rear bench seat that enabled the car to be called a 2+2. Although acceleration was slightly slower than the roadster, top speed was better by 5mph due to the increased aerodynamic efficiency. The possibility of fitting the larger aluminium 3528cc Rover P5B engine into the MG B GT was always an option. Space was not a problem as the car had originally been designed for fitment of a V4 that was never produced.This pre-production MG B GT V8 was first registered on 2nd February 1973 and was originally registered as a Police car. British Leyland sent these MG's to selected Police forces for operational evaluation. MG B V8's remained in production until 1976, the model was never offered for sale in the US. This example underwent a major restoration in 2009-2013 which included a bare metal respray and major mechanical items, invoices totalling some £23,000 are in the file. Presenting in the colour combination of white (unsurprisingly) and navy interior, still present is the Police sign and light on the roof (this must be covered for road use). The Police radio is still in the interior which is in great condition. Supplied with a V5C registration document, some service history, together with some interesting Police notepads. MG B GT V8's are always sought-after, this very rare (there were 12 allocated to the Police) and exceptionally tidy example is sure to create interest with collectors and enthusiasts.  Consignor Stewart Banks

The car started life as a limited edition Mini 40 but has since been 'backdated' with a clubman front end and painted in Ferrari Verde Silverstone. It is understood that more than £60,000 was spent on the build of the car, with the brief being 'to beat everything on track days but still have the comfort to drive to the South of France'. Power comes from a KAD built 1480cc, 16v, twin-cam engine with a whopping 180bhp, which is plenty in a mini! The engine is fitted with Jenvey throttle bodies and Omex 600 management, which has just had a £700 refresh and tune. A Piper 4-2-1 stainless manifold with Playmini stainless exhaust system is fitted, giving an incredible exhaust note. The car is fitted with a KAD five-speed straight cut dogleg gearbox, Quaife ATB limited slip differential, KAD alloy flywheel and KAD quick shifter.

KAD 6x10€ magnesium wheels have been fitted with Yokohama Advan 032R tyres, perfect for road/track use. The interior really is the best of both worlds, trimmed in sumptuous black leather with a full roll cage (also painted in Ferrari Verde Silverstone), Pioneer speaker system with Bluetooth, AVIC F220 navigation system and a full length electronic sunroof.This is an outstanding mini built with huge attention to detail and was truly a no expense spared build. Offered to auction with a comprehensive history file, V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until September 2024. Whether you're a Mini enthusiast or not, this car is quite hard not to love and is offered at a fraction of its original build cost having covered just over 1,000 miles since completion.

**We now understand from the vehicle's second owner that she purchased it in 2009 and subsequently used it in Scotland and later in Spain. It was sold to a dealer in Spain and it then returned to the UK in 2021.**Superbly presented Defender 90, originally part of the late Queen Elizabeth II's Sandringham Estate and, latterly, fastidiously cared for by its second owner. The humble Land Rover Defender is one of life's great classless cars, being favoured by all walks of life looking for a reliable go-anywhere, do-anything vehicle. From Royalty to land workers, from Kensington to the Kyle of Lochalsh, you’ll be sure to find a Defender working away exactly as Solihull’s engineers designed it to do.Powered by a plethora of petrol and turbocharged diesel engines and boasting all wheel-drive, low and high-range gearing, advanced suspension setups and a seemingly endless list of both factory and aftermarket customisation options, the Defender is rightfully referred to as the king of all production off-road vehicles, and remains both a design icon and a landmark part of automotive history to this day.For 2007, the Defender benefitted from a serious revamp with a new common-rail diesel EU4-compliant engine from the Ford Transit, a new 6-speed gearbox, new fascia, new seats and a heating and ventilation system that actually works.Offered in the rather exclusive combination of Galway Green with a black cloth interior, this lovely Defender 90 County spent the first 18 months of its life on the late Queen's beloved Sandringham Estate. When it returned to Land Rover Vehicle Operations at Gaydon in 2010, it had only covered only 679 miles. It was subsequently sold through Harwoods Land Rover to its second owner who naturally was aware of its past life on the 20,000 acre Sandringham Estate. Judging by its current condition and mileage, one would assume it never took part in any general duties and was part of a very exclusive stable.This lovely Land Rover County has now only covered 41,725 miles and comes with an MOT until July 2024 with no advisories. The service book shows five services mostly completed by main dealers and a history file that contains numerous previous MOTs.As 'evergreen' as ever, these defining Defender 90 Counties still have the ability to blend into any occasion and with its past history would be welcome anywhere.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: DEFENDER 90Year: 2008Chassis Number: SALLDVBS79A769131Registration Number: BN58 RWLTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 080818133204244DT Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 41725 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black ClothClick here for more details and images

Lot 911

From the 'DJH Ford Collection', an original, unused/uninstalled factory bench-tested RS500 engine; 'automotive art' or as a spare, either way it's magnificent.   The Sierra RS Cosworth might have been the first Ford to be honoured with the Cosworth name, but the relationship between the two companies dates back to the 1960s when the American car producer funded the development of a 3-litre V8 engine for Lotus' F1 car. The resulting V8, known as the DFV, then went on to be a dominant engine in Formula 1 for over a decade, winning 155 Grand Prix.Despite reigning supreme on track and in rallying throughout the decade, by the end of the 1970s, Ford’s motorsport dominance was on the wane. Even the once all-conquering Ford-Cosworth DFV Formula 1 was starting to lose out to more modern turbocharged units. This was painfully obvious when a Ford VIP contingent visited the 1983 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, where a Touring Car race supported the main event and Ford bosses, Stuart Turner and Walter Hayes, were dismayed to witness a group of Capris being humbled by SD1s with Rover V8 power.The solution was again to be found with the engineers at Cosworth who had previously developed a four-cylinder engine for Ford's racing and rallying saloons in the late 1960s and 1970s. The Mk1 Escort RS1600, which replaced the Lotus-powered Twin Cam Escort, had a 1,600cc engine with a 16-valve head designed by Cosworth called the 'BDA'.The formula for the Sierra wasn’t dissimilar to that of the earlier homologation Escorts and Cosworth and the trusted cast iron block from Ford’s single-overhead cam, the T88 Pinto that was used in the Escort RS2000, was utilised to form the basis of this new engine. Code named 'YAA', Cosworth designed an aluminium head to suit the Pinto block with two belt-driven cams operating 16 valves; eight 35mm diameter inlet valves and eight 31mm exhaust. Compared with the basic Pinto, almost everything changed except for the cylinder block itself and the new head and valve gear were matched to a new steel crankshaft, rods, pistons, and sump, and hydraulic valve lifters were a given. A turbocharger was always part of the plan and a Garrett AiResearch T3 with an intercooler were selected boosting power to 201bhp at 6,000rpm and 205lb/ft at 4,500rpm, in road car spec.With a new facility to produce the production-ready version (now with the 'YB' prefix), the first prototype started test-bed work in Northampton in June 1984 although the first engines and test cars didn’t go to Weber-Marelli in Italy until September 1984 before subsequently being 'signed off' by mid-1985.First utilised in the 3-door Sierra RS Cosworth of 1986 - introduced for homologation to allow Ford to go 'Group A' Touring Car racing - the new production 1,993cc YBB engine proved to be legendary, both on road and track. When the ruling allowed for an 'evolution' upgraded model to compete, spawning the RS500 Cosworth, the YB engine stepped-up too, the grateful recipient of further development.To cope with the requisite extra horsepower required, the original YBB motor was switched to an uprated 'YBD' unit which featured a reinforced block (still cast-iron) with thicker walls (note, there are two main types of YB block - known as the 205 and the 200, the latter is a thicker-wall design and was found in 4 x 4 versions, such as the Escort and 1990 Sapphire; the RS500 block was also a thick-wall design but stamped 205, recognisable by its smaller core plugs). Other differences included a bigger Garrett AiResearch T04 turbo plus a larger air-to-air intercooler, pressurised oil-cooled pistons, uprated oil, water and fuel pumps and beefier (orange) air hoses for the radiator and turbo, and a re-mapped ECU.Ford pushed the limit of the Homologation rules to the maximum for the RS500 and the road car featured components that weren’t at all functional but allowed legal modifications on the race cars. The RS500's Cosworth YB engine had an inactive secondary injection system fitted so, when activated on the race cars, their engines could swallow greater amounts of fuel and produce more power (with a different engine map and the second injectors squirting fuel, race RS500s made an 'easy' 485bhp and it didn’t take much more before the engine was putting out 525bhp).In addition, the YBD’s induction system was reconfigured with a bigger intake plenum which, along with a new secondary fuel rail, required one corner of the battery tray be cut away for installation, and a slightly different thermostat housing and alternator bracket. On the road cars, the RS500's power rating went from 201bhp to 224bhp at an unchanged 6,000rpm. Peak torque was the same as the regular Sierra RS Cosworth: 204lb/ft at 4,500rpm.Although undoubtedly successful before, the Ford Sierra became really dominant when the RS500 took to the circuit, winning the 1988 DTM championship, the 1989 Spa 24 Hours, the 1988 and 1989 Bathurst 1,000km, the 1988 and 1989 Australian Touring Car Championship, the 1988 and 1989 Japanese Touring Car Championship and the 1990 British Touring Car Championship.The engine presented here is a Cosworth factory, bench-tested YBD unit, #YBD 0626, designed and built for an RS500 road car. Tested and signed off by Cosworth, confirmed by a tag, it's understood to be one of the very last YBD engines to leave the factory. We understand that it has always been complete (i.e. never as separate components), has never been apart, rebuilt nor ever installed into a car, being sat on its plinth since manufacture. All the factory elements appear to be present and correct, the stampings included, even down to the original FRAM oil filter!Meticulously kept - in pride of place even - alongside his two RS500 cars, it has been owned by our vendor for last 14 years. He sourced it from an ex-pat Ford aficionado living in Malta who had acquired it previously in the UK (some 6 years before). Rumour has it that only a handful of unused YBD engines still exist.For the serious collector or enthusiast, this 'jewel' of an engine is supplied with a bespoke glass display case and is now ready to be appreciated by its next custodian; what an opportunity.N.B. Please note this lot will be sold with a buyers premium of 20% plus VAT as per our usual memorabilia terms.Click here for more details and images

Lot 954

Converted by Overfinch when new to 570 S and Stage II handling specification and a year later upgraded to fuel injection. Still in factory colours, it was refurbished at a cost of c.£35,000. The rebuilt engine produces some 400bhp and the history file is a delight. Designed by Spencer King, the original 1970 Range Rover was a masterstroke of understated elegance and remained in production virtually unaltered for 25 years. Originally powered by Rover’s lightweight all-alloy 3.5-litre V8 engine detuned to 135bhp, the ultimate off-road/on-road vehicle, its clever suspension managed to combine a three tonne towing ability, a huge range of articulation off-road and limousine comfort on A and B roads. By the mid-1980s, and hugely popular amongst a new class of buyer, the Range Rover’s interior was still somewhat behind that found in the contemporary Austin Montego at half the price. Interior refinements were added incrementally and it is perhaps astonishing that a leather interior was only first introduced as an option in 1988! By the 1990s however, it was clear that the smart money, both old and new, saw the Range Rover as a dual-purpose, luxury motorcar.Although the 1988 Range Rover was now offered with the 3.9 EFi V8 engine, a few very wealthy enthusiasts looked to Overfinch of Ascot for further enhancement. So, having paid some £25,000 for his brand new Caspian Blue Vogue with Winchester Grey leather interior by Connolly, a Mr Sirl of Kensington accepted the Overfinch quote of £21,000 for the full works. A new Chevrolet 570S V8 was installed and mated to a GM 700 4-speed automatic transmission and Overfinch T2 FF transfer box. The Stage II handling pack upgraded both front and rear suspension and ventilated brakes were installed. An additional 6-gallon fuel tank was also fitted, which probably came in handy.Cosmetically, subtle vent covers and badging were added and the leather Momo Overfinch steering wheel came at cost of £185! First registered on 3rd March 1989, the car returned to the Overfinch workshops for a full conversion to fuel-injection in February 1990 and, amongst other works, a Ferrari-style instrument binnacle was installed, the bill coming to some £13,000. With around £60,000 spent during the first year of ownership, we must draw comparisons with this astonishing amount to the launch-price of the Ferrari Testarossa at just a few thousand more! The accompanying service book lists periodic services and the car’s recent refurbishment was not only necessary to correct the usual Range Rover issues, but brought the car roaring into the 21st century.When the preceding owner purchased the car, it entered into a near six-year strip down, rebuild, improvement and restoration programme costing some £35,000, with work carried out by the likes of Jule Motors and renowned Range Rover restorer, Kingsley Cars. The Caspian Blue paintwork was refreshed and the recently rebuilt engine is capable of some 400bhp. The detailed history file is a joy to read including, as it does, the original Overfinch order forms, brochures, service book and numerous bills for maintenance works, most recently commissioned by our vendor. It is noted in the file that the odometer reading was somehow reduced by 10,000 miles between 2016 and 2023, and the vendor informs us that the true mileage is probably nearer 47,000 miles.N.B. The illustrated registered number does not form part of the sale.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: RANGE ROVER 1ST GEN Year: 1989 Chassis Number: SALLHAML7FA371652 Registration Number: TBA Transmission: Automatic Engine Number: M12199VF Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 47000 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Winchester Grey LeatherClick here for more details and images

Lot 930

Just one owner and only 5,781 miles from new, with eight service invoices detailing diligent maintenance.  The icon. As much a part of British car culture as the Mini, the Jaguar E-Type or the Ford Escort - perhaps even moreso. Though officially only known as a Defender from 1990, as a rebadge of the previous 90 and 110 models 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.This exceptional Defender 90 XS TD was supplied to its one and only owner by Land Rover Main Dealer, Armstrong Massey of York, and has covered only 5,781 miles from new. Delivered in Orkney Grey with Ebony interior, the mileage is supported by eight service invoices detailing an impeccable maintenance record.The first two services in 2013/15 were conducted by Armstrong Massey at 1,388 miles (12,000 mile service) and at 2,750 miles (36,000 mile service). The following six services were carried by Yorkshire's independent Land Rovers specialists, JAS of York, and the history file contains invoices and records of the mileage over that period. Most recently, in September 2023, the Defender has had a full service and a new fuel pump fitted.The factory Defender 90XS specification includes a high and low-range gearbox, fold-down rear seats, electric windows, an analogue clock, heated front and rear windscreens, air conditioning, heated front seats, its original OE radio and Optimill security hinges. It's supplied with all the Owners Manuals, service book and two keys with working fobs.Still very much the vehicle for town or country, the Land Rover Defender 90's credentials have never been challenged and the last of the breed at this mileage and original condition will become increasingly hard to find.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: DEFENDER Year: 2012 Chassis Number: SALLDWBP7CA416882 Registration Number: YY12 YKA Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 111216194112DT224 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 5777 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Lot 966

A pristine example of a late-production and now iconic Defender, in the ideal configuration for a variety of roles, with c.14,000 miles, a full service history and an interesting backstory. The icon. As much a part of British car culture as the Mini, the Jaguar E-Type or the Ford Escort - perhaps even more so. Though officially only known as a Defender from 1990, as a rebadge of the previous 90 and 110 models, 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.Throughout the 1990s, the model commenced its inevitable climb upmarket whilst remaining true (as close as possible) to its roots. Engine changes became a regular occurrence with the 200Tdi being followed by the 300Tdi, Td5 and then the Ford Duratorq that appeared in 2.4-litre form in 2007 and subsequently in 2.2-litre guise during 2012.Despite, or perhaps because of, being recognisably related to the very first Land Rover of 1948, the Defender retained a steadfastly loyal customer base. Perhaps the most significant development, however, was nothing to do with a change in the vehicles appearance or specification - it was the gradual adoption amongst trendy metropolitan elites as their carriage of choice, taking the Land Rover legend from the country into the city. As such, it became popular with both cattle herders and yoga instructors alike, an expanding market that is now reflected in a replacement new-era Defender thats as good carving through SW1 as it is up to its axles in mud. Defender production exceeded 2,000,000 examples before the model was dropped in 2016.The vehicle presented here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 2014 Land Rover Defender 110 2.2-litre Station Wagon with the very useful seven-seat option. This, low-mileage example, is in quite exceptional condition, presented in the handsome factory colour of Fuji White, standing out amongst the more common black and grey hues. It's powered by the 2.2-litre DT224 engine (122bhp and 265lb/ft) with permanent four-wheel drive through a six-speed manual transmission. The odometer indicated just 13,791miles from new (at the time of cataloguing) which is supported by a superbly detailed service history.Interestingly, in 2015, which was the Defender's final year of production, Jaguar Land Rover's Solihull manufacturing plant donated this particular vehicle to the Solihull-based charity Troop Aid, which helps injured troops returning to the UK. It was used by the charity for fundraising events, hence the low mileage, and was subsequently sold to a Land Rover enthusiast who has ensured it has remained in excellent condition, regularly undersealing it and having it routinely serviced.What an opportunity to acquire a real Land Rover Defender, the likes of which we may never see again, with a mileage, condition and backstory that would be difficult to replicate.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: DEFENDER 110 STATION WAGON Year: 2014 Chassis Number: SALLDHMP7FA464214 Registration Number: OE64 HNZ Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 141119135435DT224 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 13791 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

In superb condition with low mileage and celebrity provenance, this is a wonderful opportunity to own a pristine example of a Heritage Edition Defender with just 3,800 miles from new.  After 67 years of making one of the most iconic off-roaders, Land Rover finally called time on the Defender series, so closely linked in heart, body and soul to the original 1947 Series I, HUE 166, affectionately known as 'Huey'. To mark the occasion, Land Rover launched the final Defender Celebration Series of three limited editions and the most significant of these was the Heritage Edition. Limited to just 400 built right at the end, the last ever Defender rolled off the production line at 9.15am on 29th January 2016. It was the 2,016,933rd Defender built at Solihull and thus became the last true Land Rover, the end of an era.All were finished in Grasmere Green with an Alaskan White roof, Heritage-style grill, headlamp surrounds and heavy duty steel wheels as a nod to the original car and further nostalgic touches include the silver front bumper with black end caps, clear indicator lenses, Indus Silver door hinges, body-coloured wheel arches, aluminium Heritage-style badging to the front grille and rear bodywork and evocative HUE 166 graphics on both front wing panels.Modern upgrades included a perforated leather steering wheel and gear lever, aluminium trim for the air vents, door handles and door locks, interior trim finished in Almond Resolve cloth seat facings with the Heritage logo and finally a padded cubby box between the two front seats.This car was supplied new by Gordon Lamb of Chesterfield in October of 2015 to its first owner who covered a nominal mileage and within 18 months offered the car for sale. In 2017, we were approached to locate and find a five-door 110 Heritage Edition, significantly rarer than the three-door 90, specifically for the world-famous comic actor, Rowan Atkinson CBE.A well known petrol head and Land Rover enthusiast, we had the pleasure of sourcing this car for him and it has since been cherished and lightly used as part of his personal Collection. Always correctly serviced, maintained and professionally stored, retaining all its original paint and panels, it has now covered just 3,800 miles from new. During Rowan's tenure, the car was fitted with a factory-specification tow bar and electrics as well as factory-spec air conditioning (at a cost of £4,278!) and also had a car alarm installed. Today, it is ready to use and enjoy and is offered in exceptional condition throughout with the comfort of a known history from new.The Heritage Edition was limited to a production run world wide of just 400 units and each vehicle was accompanied by a matching green hardback book entitled Land Rover - One of 400. We are pleased to confirm that the book is present and correct with this car and can be seen with the history file at our documents desk at the forthcoming sale.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: DEFENDER Year: 2015 Chassis Number: SALLDHMP7GA483984 Registration Number: YR65 WUT Transmission: Manual 6-Speed Engine Number: 150924061314DT224 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 3800 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: AlmondClick here for more details and images

1 of just 250 Tomb Raider Special Edition Defenders produced, one of the best-equipped Defenders ever and a real collectors' car. Over the years there have been a number of 'special edition' Land Rover Defenders released, including the '90SV', 'Defender 50th' and the 'Heritage' with possibly the best known special being the 'Tomb Raider' from 2000, which was created to commemorate Land Rover's role in the first film of that franchise. Designed to look like an off-road expedition vehicle, they were finished in Bonatti Grey metallic paint with special badging and details and came equipped with a roof rack and roof rack support system (looking similar to a roll-cage), additional spotlights, winch, bull-bar, raised air-intake and Pewter Grey 'Boost' alloy wheels. Internally they were complemented by 'Black Quest' fabric seats, black leather steering wheel, air conditioning and a stereo cassette radio. Limited to a run of 250, they were available either as a 90" or 110" double cab, with standard TD5 engines.This UK-supplied right-hand drive Defender 90 was first registered in May 2002 and has been enjoyed by three former keepers. With a recorded mileage of just 34,504 miles at the time of viewing, it remains in outstanding condition throughout and this-low production run Land Rover Tomb Raider would make the perfect addition to any Land Rover collection. It will be presented at sale fully serviced and issued with a fresh MOT.

15 cwt. Brockhouse TrailerSerial No BT.8.12967Coming from the Same vendor as the Austin Gipsy in today’s sale, this Brockhouse trailer was acquired in April 1997. The Gipsy and the trailers were commissioned by the Civil Defense Force in case of national emergency and then left unused but stored. The trailer was designed to be coupled to either the Austin Gipsy or a Land Rover and has electrics compatible to both as well as being braked.The vendor acquired this trailer at the dispersal sale for his private collection. It is complete with its Coventry Climax Featherweight Pump and accessories. The pump is powered by 1022cc four-cylinder single overhead cam, four-cylinder engine which is capable of giving an output of 300 gallons per minute at 1000 lbs/sq inch in pressure. The accessories include a suction hose, delivery hose jets, branch suction filters, stand pipe, hydrant key, spade and ladders. The vendor did run the pump after he acquired it, but it has been stored since. He has however turned the engine over and squirted oil into the cylinders so all it should need is gentle recommissioning. The trailer and its contents can only be described ‘as new’.Estimate: £4,500 - 5,000

1912 Rover 12hpRegistration No LH 3594Chassis Number 963Engine No OB963VCC Dating No EP0135The name Rover Cars will be well known to young and old alike being one of the oldest names in British motoring. Like many early manufacturers, their roots lie firmly in the bicycle industry when John Kemp Starley introduced the Safety Cycle. With its chain drive and wheels of almost equal size it was a great improvement on the traditional Ordinary better known as the Penny Farthing. Rover Cars came into being in 1904 starting with small single cylinder vehicles. Rover introduced larger cars from 1905 and had some success in the TT Races especially in 1907, when they won with a margin of over 12 minutes from the second placed Humber. The Company then made a few sleeve valve cars with engines supplied by Daimler, but these were swept aside when in 1910 noted designer Owen Clegg arrived from Wolseley. He gave Rover one of their most successful designs the 12HP. It was of conventional design with a 2297cc engine, L head monobloc worm drive and electric lighting. Sales rose from 883 in 1911 to 1943 in 1914. When WW1 started the Rover was not considered large enough for military purposes so Rover switched to building the 12/16 Sunbeam under licence. Clegg left Rover for Darracq in 1912 but his 12 was continued until 1924 with little change.LH 3594 is one of the few Edwardian cars that has not only had four owners, but that its full and interesting history is known. The vendor’s late husband was sensible enough to write an article detailing this history so it wasn’t lost. It would appear that the Rover was purchased new by a Dr Elliot in the Fleet area of Hampshire. By the 1930’s Dr Elliot had become too old to drive and if the weather was good he engaged the owner of a local Rover Agency, Mr. Wilfred Stevens, to drive him around his old practice area of Winchfield. Stevens and Sons has always serviced and maintained the car. At the outbreak of war in 1939 Dr Elliot instructed Stevens to melt the car down so it could be used in the manufacture of the legendary Spitfire aeroplane as he probably wouldn’t be around after the war. Stevens stored the car at a large property close by called ‘Clairmont’. After the war, the property was sold to developers who found the old Rover in a shed and contacted Stevens to have the car removed. Stevens was mortified that he had forgotten all about the car and Dr Elliot’s wishes. By this time the engine was seized, the upholstery had been eaten by rodents and the original paintwork had been destroyed.In 1946 Wilf Stevens embarked on a program of works to restore the car. The colour was changed from ‘Sparrow Egg’ to Rover Green, which the car still wears. Things moved slowly when in 1962 the son, Ian Stevens, took over and recorded the remainder of the work that he carried out. The radiator was overhauled, the upholstery renewed, the magneto rebuilt and all other mechanical work finished. In August 1965 the car was transferred into Ian’s name. He continued to maintain the car to a high standard and after many years of trying, the vendor was able to purchase the car in 2012.The car is of an older restoration, but it is testimony to the restoration works carried out that the car still presents very well and now looks nicely mellowed. The vendor and her late husband used the car extensively on VCC, VSCC and many other events. One notable tour involved taking the car to France for a Commemoration of WW1 of which there are many articles in the file. It retains much of its originality and has the original engine and bodywork. There is a full complement of instruments and lights fitted. The car has been issued with a VCC Events Passport to enable it to run in that Club’s event and should be eligible to receive a full dating certificate subject to the necessary paperwork being submitted.Estimate: £25,000 - 28,000

1965 Austin Gipsy 1V S.W.B.Registration Number      DLE 533CChassis No                           18042Engine No                           TBA The Gipsy was Austin’s second four wheel drive vehicle which appeared on the market in 1958.  At a distance it looked similar to the Land Rover but not close up and it differed technically in several areas.   The Gipsy had an all-independent suspension and more importantly an all-steel body as opposed to Land Rover’s aluminum one.   Power came from the well-established Austin 2.2 litre units with the option of either petrol or diesel.   Large numbers of these vehicles were purchased by the Civil Defense Authority and were kept in storage for many years, some into the 1990’s.  In the early years they were kept in secrecy, some in bomb proof bunkers, ready for immediate use in the event of a national disaster.  The Gipsy remained in production, with the Series 1V model which was introduced in 1962 until it was discontinued in 1968 when the BMC-Leyland merger brought Austin and Rover together.The Gipsy in today’s sale was first registered in December 1965 and was one of the first batch purchased by the Home Office.    It is powered by the 2.2 litre engine and is totally original, but is in as new condition.  The vendor bought the car in the last dispersal sale in 1997 for his private collection and has been moved and driven regularly.  It recently had a new master brake cylinder, all wheel cylinders and new brake fluid.   This is a rare opportunity to acquire a total time warp with just over 1,000 miles on the clock.   It would be a perfect addition to any collection and is ready to drive or show. Estimate: £12,500 - 13,500
