1953 Ford Consul Mk. I Abbot Farnham Bodied Estate Transmission: manualMileage:Abbott of Farnham, E D Abbott Limited was a British coachbuilding business based in Farnham, Surrey, trading under that name since 1929. A major part of their output was under sub-contract to motor vehicle manufacturers. In 1934 Abbott won a major contract from Lagonda to provide all the bodies for the new small Rapier and work from Frazer-Nash for coachwork on imported BMW chassis. During the Second World War the company manufactured experimental radar aerials for the Royal Aircraft Establishment. However, after World War II the company restarted its coachbuilding activities, building production runs of coupés for Sunbeam-Talbot and Healey, as well as some special bodies for Jowett, Bentley and Lanchester. Orders also came from Ford for estate car versions of their Consul and Zephyr models, which kept the firm in business during the late 1950s and early 1960s.This stunning example of the rare Abbott of Farnham bodied Mk. I Consul is presented in Bristol Fawn with contrasting red trim and has been subject to a full restoration. A well know example amongst enthusiasts, this car formed part of the James Hull collection famously purchased by Jaguar Land Rover Heritage and has been on display at the Gaydon Motor Museum prior to our vendor purchasing. A magazine featured example that has received little road use whilst being on display at the Gaydon Motor Museum, however since its removal from its space at the famous museum, it has benefitted from a mechanical re-commissioning and is supplied with both service and previous MoT test certificates. This highly regarded and well-known show car would grace any serious car collection and forms part of British motoring heritage.

1966 Land Rover Series IIA (SWB) Transmission: manualMileage:4000The Land Rover Series IIA is considered by many to be the hardiest Series model constructed. It is also quite possibly the model that features most strongly in the general public's perception of the Land Rover, from its many appearances in popular films and television documentaries set in Africa throughout the 1960s, such as Born Free. In February 1968, just a few months after its manufacturer had been subsumed, under government pressure, into the Leyland Motor Corporation, the Land Rover celebrated its twentieth birthday, with total production to date just short of 600,000, of which more than 70% had been exported.This Series IIA was subject to a full 350 hour, ground-up, restoration in 2022 and has travelled less than 4,000 miles since. The brief was to create the cleanest series Land Rover that will hold its own but will also simply work. This meant engine, brakes, steering and electric components that were required to be reliable every time, a tall order in a car over 50 years old. The vehicle was reported to be very good before restoration, but like any unrestored 1966 Landover in needed attention. This included a new galvanised chassis, bulkhead and many panels – of course these are visible due to structural nature of a Series II Land Rover. Additionally, the engine was fully rebuilt along with all new suspension components. The owner was keen to use genuine or the highest quality parts throughout and the results both cosmetically and in the way the car drives are evident, this is detailed in a folder of restoration pictures that document the thorough work. Like all restorations, the cost of all the new parts and labour totalled considerably more than listed today and these vehicles are most definitely on the ascendancy. Our vendor states that due to the detailed and extensive restoration, the car drives better than when it would have left the factory. Meticulous attention to detail ensures everything works, the engine starts on the button with no smoke and it runs sweetly sitting happily at 65mph. The brakes work as they should, steering is good, and all lights, dials, switches and dash dials also work. The vehicle is MoT exempt and, of course, ULEZ compliant, it also has the benefit of being tax exempt, perfect for London driving however travel further afield and the four-wheel drive and low range engage, as they should.A properly cool thing this…... It will just get cooler as the years pass! Enjoy the winter and plough through the snow to get some milk for the Nespresso machine and when the summer comes roll up the canvas and take the door tops off for those summer pub nights, or the beach with the hound and a cold beer. Two looks in one vehicle, hipster cool with a factory correct finish whichever picture you have in your mind. The photos really don't do this vehicle justice, it turns heads wherever it goes. 

1997 Caterham Super 7 ‘40th Anniversary’ Transmission: manualMileage:6247“There is little doubt that these cars are, pound-for-pound, the most fun you can have with your clothes on.†This hackneyed phrase is understandably well used for the simple reason that it is true. This writer has built them, owned them, driven them and raced them, none particularly well but smiles, oh yes. They also occupy their own spot in motoring history, not only for their relationship with ‘The Prisoner’ tv series, their wheels reflected here and shod in Michelin Pilot 195/50 R15 tyres, but also with no significant pause in production since 1957.But some are more collectable than others and, after 40 exciting years, it was time to celebrate. This special edition, including the original owner’s manual, fully stamped service manual (including recent cambelt change), was offered to just 67 lucky customers with cars all painted in a distinctive ruby pearlescent paint with a silver bonnet stripe and black coachline to give the Anniversary 7 a unique finish including a dash-mounted plaque detailing each car. Engines and general specification vary of course, this example carries the powerful Rover K-Series fuel-injected 1.6 litre engine mated to a five-speed gearbox and pushing out 115bhp at 6,000rpm. Impressive when the car weighs so little. Also included is the original order, the original invoices including all the extra’s such as the Supersport Package, stanchion mounted mirrors, wind deflectors, external 4-1 race exhaust, quick-release leather steering wheel, four-point safety harnesses, wind deflector package and bespoke tonneau cover. Performance and exclusivity, a heady cocktail.

Rare and desirable R V8 with less than 23,000 miles from long-term ownership.The MG RV8 was a hugely important step in the 1990s rebirth of MG Cars after more than a decade of only producing saloons and hatchbacks. Since Abingdon's closure in 1980, the illustrious MG badge had been reserved for the Metro, Maestro and Montego and, although these cars were worthy, what enthusiasts really wanted was a new MG roadster. In 1992, 12 years after the last MG sports car had rolled off the Abingdon production lines, Austin-Rover made the inspired decision to revive this most charismatic of British marques by introducing an entirely new model - the MG RV8.In creating the RV8, Rover very cleverly used a combination of off-the-shelf parts, such as the Range Rover's V8 engine and British Motor Heritage's MGB bodyshell. So, in this reincarnation of the MGB, the rubber bumper specification body was utilised and modified to accept a new set of beautifully curvaceous outer panels. The 3.9-litre Range Rover EFi V8 engine developed 188bhp and gave the RV8 enough power to crack 0-60 mph in just under six seconds which, even today, is pretty impressive. A 5-speed LT77 gearbox, derived from the Rover SD1 was used along with a new Salisbury axle. Very significant modifications were made to the suspension and brakes to bring the car up to date and the interior featured soft leather in Stone Beige and a Burr Elm facia and door cappings.The RV8 was shown at the 1993 Tokyo Motor Show creating a huge demand which resulted in nearly 1,600 examples (of the 1,983 total) being exported to Japan. Despite (or maybe because of) the RV8 being based on a 30-year old model, its classic status was assured from the day it was unveiled, and with less than 2,000 examples built between 1992 and 1995, the cars are now much sought after. No RV8s were ever sold in the US and consequently they are all right-hand drive.We believe that 1,583 RV8s went to Japan initially, but such has been the growing demand in recent years in the UK, that many have been sourced in Japan and returned to the these shores to join the 307 originally sold here. This delightful example did indeed travel to Japan but was not purchased second-hand over there as it was never sold in the first place. It was a very late production car fitted with air-conditioning (non-standard in the UK) but perhaps it arrived in Japan after demand had dwindled and was never registered, subsequently, returning home some months later prior to being bought by a doctor for his wife and registered in late 1999. It was purchased by its present owner, our vendor, in 2008 with excellent Woodcote Green paintwork but under the bonnet a number of the plated items had deteriorated necessitating a full strip and cosmetic reconditioning and replating. At the same time, the underbody was also repainted to achieve a perfect appearance and, whilst stripped, all brake pipes, calipers etc. were reconditioned, the car was 'poly-bushed', and a set of adjustable Spax Shocks were fitted as were four new tyres. Some corrosion to the screen frame was attended to with a new frame and screen supplied by Clive Wheatley. At the time of cataloguing, the odometer was indicating 22,858 miles.This superb RV8 has formed part of a private collection in recent years and, unlike many 'museum' exhibits, our fastidious vendor enjoys keeping his collection in absolutely top form. We encourage interested parties to take the opportunity to come and view this impressively presented MG.  SpecificationMake: MGModel: MG R V8Year: 1999Chassis Number: SARRAWBMBM002230Registration Number: T301 VNUTransmission: ManualEngine Number: TBADrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 22858 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Stone BeigeClick here for more details and images

A fascinating, rare and bespoke XJR-S, coming from 22-years ownership, just 59,000 miles and a full service history.Between 1992 and the early 2000s, Paul Bailey’s Bristol-based company, PBB Design, offered a series of modifications for the XJ-S under the name Monaco, completely changing the car’s look and character. Built in tiny numbers, it was one of the better-designed, modified examples of Jaguar’s big GT that were prevalent at the time.Following a career in the aircraft industry, Bailey moved to Bristol-based Glenfrome Engineering, which produced lengthened five-door and open versions of the Range Rover, plus a futuristic design based on the SUV called the Facet. It also experimented with a long wheelbase version of the XJ-S. While Paul had long admired the XJ-S in terms of its dynamics, its angular styling had never impressed him – so he penned his own version ensuring the changes would be possible. “There’s no point in dreaming up a design that couldn’t be built,”  he said in the April 1992 issue of 'Jaguar Quarterly'; “I wanted my car to be exactly as I drew it.”His design included a longer, rounder nose that featured a downturned oval grille, and much wider wheel arches front and back to cover huge alloys. The glass-fibre panels simply attached to the car’s bodywork, requiring no structural changes, although Bailey had considered producing them in steel. He even involved Park Sheet Metal – which produced many of Jaguar’s own concepts, including the first XJ220 – during the early stages of the project. However, the metal around the arches had to be cut away, along with a little around the headlight area to make room for larger light pods where Bailey planned to use small projector lamps by Bosch. The bonnet was also new, again made from composite, and required a redesign of its hinge mounting due to the lower rake of the front. The result was a handsome, modern car that still harked back to Jaguar’s past, “There is probably more ‘spirit of the E-Type’ in the PBB than in anything built yet,” was Jaguar Quarterly’s 1992 view.It wasn’t a cheap conversion, though, since the body-kit alone cost £24,500 when fitted at PBB Design’s Bristol premises. This did include handsome 17'' split rims from Compomotive, plus a suspension package developed by handling experts, Harvey Bailey Engineering. PBB Design was also able to offer various drivetrain upgrades, including a Rob Beere Engineering-developed 7.3-litre V12, and a totally bespoke interior that featured better-quality leather for the seats, a suede-covered dashboard and plush carpets.Unsurprisingly, at this price only a handful were made. The consensus is 12, mixed between coupés and convertibles, V12s and straight-sixes, but this can’t be confirmed. What also comes as no surprise is that the Sultan of Brunei was said to be a customer (as he had been at Glenfrome), purported to have bought the first two production examples of the Monaco.Sadly, Bailey wound up PBB Design in 2001 following a heart attack and sold the moulds for the Monaco to a Texas-based engineering firm.The car presented here has a story to tell in two parts: its first incarnation was as the very first Monaco example, produced as a prototype by PBB Design ( c.1991) and was used as the company’s ‘poster car’ for numerous magazine shoots in the early 1990s. The most famous of which was probably for Performance Car later morphing into Harry Metcalfe’s ‘EVO’) in 1992, which gathered together a real ‘who’s who’ of Jaguar design engineers and their cars of the time – there was Paul Bailey in this particular car, William Towns in his Railton Claremont, Laurence Pearce in his Lister XJ-S and Paul Hands in his Hyper XJ-S.Subsequently, this very special car was sold to its first owner, understood to have been in the Scottish oil industry, and later acquired by its next owner, based in High Wycombe, who would go on to keep it for the next 22 years. The original car used as the PBB prototype had been a standard X-JS V12 and, by the late 1990s was feeling a bit underwhelming, so in 1999, the owner approached Paul Hands about updating the car’s specification to a bit closer to the high-performance examples PBB were currently producing. The decision was made to extract all the original PBB elements, source a newer, later-production Jaguar and rebuild it to the same exacting standards, all done by one of the best in the business, Paul Hands. The car chosen to receive this expert treatment was a low-mileage, fully serviced 1990 Jaguar XJR-S 6.0-litre (SAJJSAES3BB170057), an example of the final evolution of the Jaguar XJ-S, hand-built at JaguarSport at Bloxham, the high-tech facility that had been home to XJ220 production.The JaguarSport XJR-S may have looked like its production counterparts but differed immensely with many parts unique to the model and, of course its 6.0-litre V12 engine. The engine was rated at 318bhp and was 700cc larger than the previous 5.3-litre V12. A modified intake system and a low-loss true dual exhaust system was part of the car’s advanced specification. The suspension was further developed by TWR with increased coil spring rates and the Bilstein shocks, front and rear, were specially tuned for the XJR-S. Only 115 were built in right-hand drive.The transformed car was then routinely serviced by Paul Hands and Hyper for the following decade and more, receiving, in May 2000, an uprated Hyper 3-speed clutch less manual gearbox (costing £1,650), said to transform the driving performance. Silverstone Auctions have chatted at length to Paul Hands, and he recalled the car and its long-time owner immediately, confirming that he did the transformative rebuild of it and the subsequent servicing. There is a Valuation Report/Certificate written by him and numerous invoices for servicing in the accompanying history file. Present also are the original book-pack, service booklet and paperwork relating to the XJR-S that was utilised, helping verify the mileage. The car was last fully serviced at Jaguar specialists Powerbell Services of Taplow in May 2022 at 58,763 miles and is said to drive and perform as one would expect.If you’ve ever hankered for a Jaguar XJ-S, why not choose one with a fascinating backstory and unique appeal, conceived in the heyday of XJS design evolution. SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XJR-S 6.0-LITRE V12 'MONACO' BY PBB DESIGNYear: 1990Chassis Number: SAJJSAES3BB170057Registration Number: XIJ 326Transmission: Automatic Engine Number: 8W010150HB Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 59000 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Superbly presented, low ownership, just 15,623 miles and an interesting provenance.The very special Defender 110 County on offer here is a low mileage, 15,623 (at the time of cataloguing) , low owner example presenting in truly fantastic condition. Combined with the fact that this very car was specified and first used by the late HRH The Duke of Edinburgh makes this a unique opportunity.All the Duke’s Land Rovers were built to his individual spec and this is no exception. It's finished in Keswick Green with a black cloth interior, fitted with Land Rover seat covers and specified with heated seats, a/c, front and rear heated screens and alloy wheels (original spare unused).The car's current owner enjoys a significant private collection of special motor vehicles, all maintained and presented to an exceptional standard, as is evident when looking at this gleaming Defender which bares testimony to the care that has recently been lavished upon it. We understand that he purchased the car from the previous owner who is the son of our Late Queen's chauffeur.Accompanying the car is a good history file containing correspondence from George Hassall - Director, Royal and Diplomatic Affairs at Jaguar Land Rover to David Key, Head Chauffeur to HRH The Duke of Edinburgh which relates to its initial use by The Duke, along with its book pack, service book, MOTs and service receipts, etc. Whilst in the Duke’s possession, it's believed to have been assigned his personal registration, OXR 2.Quite simply, this Defender needs to be seen in person to really appreciate it and we encourage all interested parties to come and view it at Race Retro for themselves. Boasting an enviable combination of Royal provenance, an individual specification, low mileage and fantastic condition, this seems to tick all of the boxes for any serious collector of significant British vehicles.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: DEFENDERYear: 2010Chassis Number: SALLDHMS7AA789561Registration Number: AD59 ZHTTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 091124030239244DT Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 15623 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black Cloth Click here for more details and images

One of only 400 Defender 90 Heritage Hardtop models produced and less than 30 miles from new.Following the successful reception of the all-new Land Rover Discovery model in 1989, it was decided to give the traditional Land Rover its own name: Defender. Marking this as more than merely a re-branding exercise, was the introduction of a new turbo diesel engine that brought with it useful increases in maximum power, torque and fuel economy when compared to the old normally aspirated power unit. Now boasting bold 'Defender' logos, the Land Rover continued its seemingly inexorable process of development, gaining disc brakes and power-assisted steering as standard during the 1990s together with a host of other improvements.Despite, or perhaps because of, being recognisably related to the very first Land Rover of 1948, the Defender retained a steadfastly loyal customer base indeed in the UK in 2013 it even managed to out-sell the Range Rover. The incremental improvements mentioned above would continue to be made regularly until production of the traditional Land Rover Defender ceased in January 2016.Over the years, there have been countless Special Editions, one of the last being the 90 Heritage Hardtop of which only 400 were produced. The Heritage Hardtop had been introduced to celebrate almost 68 years of production and the ending of Defender manufacture in January 2016 and boasted many special features including Grasmere Green paintwork – used for the original, or so the story goes, because there were abundant supplies of this military-specification paint available. The Heritage also featured a black square on the wing with 'HUE 166' picked out in white lettering, referencing the registration of the first pre-production Land Rover. Other special features included the classic 'lightning bolt' Land Rover badge, the Heritage-style front grille, mud flaps, colour-matched wheels and a white roof. Of the two versions produced - Station Wagon and Hardtop - the latter, as seen here, is the rarer.One of the last Defenders off the production line, this very collectable 90 Heritage Hardtop has covered fewer than 30 miles in total and is presented in effectively 'as new' condition. The car was purchased from Land Rover Chesterfield, driven the 26 miles back to our vendors premises and put on display in the heated showroom. Supplied with the dealer presentation book (not always given to potential buyers) and offered with a V5C Registration Certificate, YS65 CVD represents a wonderful opportunity to own a pristine example of the model that brought the curtain down on 68 years of Defender production.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: DEFENDER HARD TOPYear: 2016Chassis Number: SALLDWNP7GA487792Registration Number: YS65 CVDTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 1511170823929DT224Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 26 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

An ex-RAF Wolf Defender restored and upgraded to a unique specification for the 'urbane warrior' that appreciates both quilted leather and entrenching tools.The Wolf, based on the Defender 90 and 110 Defender, was introduced in 1994 but it took two years of testing, rejection, upgrading and further testing before the Ministry of Defence was satisfied. It was far stronger and more reliable than the standard car on which it was based as a result. An order for some 8,000 Wolf Defenders was placed in 1996 by the Ministry of Defence at a cost of some £40,000 each for the basic Wolf. Some 97 variants were produced and they included the Air Drop, Ambulance, Helicopter Support Platform, Tropical Field Ambulance, Waterised Weapons Mounted Installation Kit and Winterised/Waterproofed Field AmbulanceThe Wolf’s mechanical list is extensive but, in brief, it featured a 113bhp, 300TDi engine with no electronics except for the fuel pump solenoid, rust proofed chassis from new, gearbox cooling system, reinforced front bulkhead, rails and sills, reinforced Salisbury rear axle and standard reinforced front axle with uprated differentials. It's not known how many Ministry of Defence Wolf Defenders were scrapped due to combat damage or quietly sold to foreign armies and NGOs, but most open topped 'canvas tilt' Defenders rarely survived Army use and Royal Navy cars suffered from their proximity to the sea. Far outnumbered in production by their hard-topped siblings, the canvas backed Wolf rarely saw domestic service as the hard top was better suited to the British weather and most were therefore in left-hand drive for overseas use.This 90 Wolf was originally registered in 1997 to the Ministry of Defence and used by the Royal Air Force, bearing the military registration mark KA71AA. We are informed it was stationed in various regions within the UK and the odometer reading, (in kilometres, like all Wolf Defenders), of 117,000km, suggests that the Wolf traversed nothing more arduous than the occasional 'cat's eye' or a motorway rumble strip, whilst being maintained by the diligent technicians on base. Upon decommissioning, it was registered to the first of two civilian keepers on the 1st January 2020, later undergoing a significant programme of works to such a high standard that this Wolf has been likened to a former SAS trooper tailored by Armani, stylish but still capable.Finished in metallic grey with high quality fixtures, the interior is trimmed in quilted black leather with contrasting stitching, polished metal accents and the front seats are heated. The black canvas tilt is lined in cream cloth whilst the rear features high quality woodwork upon which the two quilted leather bench seats for four sit. The front doors are a unique combination of period and luxury and the entrenching tools are a wry nod to the car’s history and capability.Presented to auction with its V5C, an advisory free MOT valid until July 2023 and records of its interesting history, this Wolf is more than just a “tarted up” Defender. It offers a unique opportunity to own a high-quality, luxuriously appointed Land Rover that was built to defend this country.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: DEFENDER 90Year: 1997Chassis Number: SALLDAA67VA122585Registration Number: R943 VSMTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 25L02599A Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 115100 KMMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images
