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 924
**The car has just received a full service and vehicle health check at Sytner BMW with no advisories/suggested action**The E46 M3 CS Leichtbau was the definitive 'Touring Car' for the road. Only 947 miles from new and a single former keeper - the best available? Probably. With only 1,383 examples produced during its 2004 production run, the E46 M3 CSL was the definitive 'Touring Car' for the road. Available in only two colours, Silver-Grey metallic and Black Sapphire metallic, with a purposeful but not overly compromised cockpit.The proven S54B32 in-line 6-cylinder engine of the BMW M3 remained in the M3 CSL as the 3,246cc S54B32HP but now offered even more power, at 360bhp. By adapting its camshafts and valves, the engineers at BMW M were able to generate a further 17bhp and an additional 5Nm torque. A special highlight of the engine is its airbox: not only is it particularly light, but the carbon component also gave the engine the uniquely characteristic intake noise that became so popular with enthusiasts. Mated to the exclusive SMG II transmission, this state-of-the-art transmission featured a launch-control mode that automatically shifts at the optimum point for maximum acceleration and this, in turn, was mated to the standard E46 M3 final drive and M differential lock. Finally, the DSC can be switched to 'M Track' mode with a steering wheel-mounted button, raising the threshold at which the system intervenes to allow for some degree of wheelspin. 0 - 60mph is in an incredible 4.6 seconds, totally remarkable in a car with four comfortable seats, electric windows and a boot spacious enough for the weekly shop.BMW's 'Leichtbau' philosophy in relation to the mass-produced M3 was not only to reduce weight overall, but to distribute the weight savings in order to retain the E46 3-Series' perfect 50/50 split. To get the centre of gravity as low as possible, the CSL adopted many weight-saving technologies from BMW's Formula 1 racing applications. A large proportion of the M3's sound insulation was removed, along with the electric seats and navigation systems. The CSL's unique body pieces, including the roof, were all crafted from carbon fibre, glass-reinforced plastics were used throughout structural points in the car and the standard rear window was replaced with one made from thinner glass. The results were considerably more effective than the 110kg weight saving would suggest, as the reduction in mass in conjunction with the lowered height of that mass and less body flex led to a dramatic improvement in dynamics.Externally, the CSL can be identified by numerous details, such as the special door sills, the curved spoiler lip on the boot lid and, of course, the addition of those three special letters on its rear. The single 'porthole' on one side of the front apron, which gives the engine the necessary oxygen by means of an enlarged intake air duct, is unique to this model.The car presented here is a 2004 BMW M3 (E46) CSL, one of the 422 UK-supplied examples, which has covered an incredibly low 947 miles from new. Iconic Auctioneers are privileged to offer for sale what we believe to be the lowest mileage M3 CSL in existence.It was supplied new through Lancaster BMW on the Isle of Man, and was first registered there on the 7th January 2005. Its original owner bought the car and immediately placed it into his garage, barely using it for the next couple of years. In 2007, our vendor, a keen car enthusiast, travelled over to buy it, driving it briefly around the island, before trailering it safely back home, and that's where it has resided ever since, professionally stored, on an OptiMate trickle-charger, regularly run-up, and only being removed for a comprehensive service at BMW on the 27th May 2020 (at 947 miles).The car is as good as any enthusiast-collector would want, being virtually unmarked. The paint is factory-fresh, the underside is spotless and the interior still smells 'of BMW'. It is as close to a new M3 CSL as is surely possible; quite something when you think this is now a 20-year-old car.We invite any interest and inspection of car that surely represents a unique opportunity. The M3 CSL is a 'high-tide mark car' and this example is undoubtedly the 'best-of-breed'.SpecificationMake: BMWModel: M3 CSLYear: 2004Chassis Number: WBSBL96010JC98401Registration Number: TBATransmission: SMGEngine Number: 60773147Odometer Reading: 947 MilesMake: Interior Colour: Amaretta Suede / Reflex ClothClick here for more details and images
Lot 737
Now available after long term storage, this well documented ex-Works and 'Group A' car presents a fabulous opportunity to own a genuine piece of British Rally History. To be offered without reserve Upon its debut in 1982, the Sierra's innovative design sparked more controversy than Ford had foreseen. Recognizing the need for robust marketing efforts, Ford identified it as the ideal platform to pursue their competitive ambitions alongside Cosworth. The Sierra met the criteria well with rear-wheel drive, sleek aerodynamics despite a tendency to lift at high speeds and availability as a three-door model. Whilst enhancements like a new body kit and rear spoiler addressed the aero imbalance issue, Ford faced the daunting task of producing 5,000 units for homologation. Initial estimates from the dealer network suggested they could only sell around 1,500 units, raising concerns. However, history tells a different story. Ford ultimately sold 5,545 three-door cars, including 500 RS500 variants, while the Cosworth engine found its way into nearly 30,000 Ford Sierra Saloons (Cosworth three-door, Sapphire two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive). The Sierra Cosworth surpassed Ford's expectations, emerging as one of the most successful Touring Car racers globally, clinching victories worldwide. In rallying, the 'Group A' Sierra - especially on tarmac - proved formidable against its four-wheel drive counterparts, exemplified by Didier Auriol's outright win at the 1988 Corsica Rally. D540 UVW was very well known, particularly in the West Midlands, where it featured on regional television on a regular basis. Brooklyn Ford were very strong marketeers and footage of this car was everywhere, particularly memorable with that distinctive wastegate 'chatter' and the fact that it was pink.The StoryOriginally a Ford-owned car confirmed by documents on file. Built in 1986 and finished in Diamond WhiteThen partnered with Brooklyn Ford Motorsport, who at the time were one of the most competitive rally car preparers. At this point, the car was prepared to 'Group A' specification for the 1987 RAC Rally and painted pink after the announcement of Mr.Tomkinson Carpets-sponsorshipDocuments in the form of V5s, registrations and letters from involved parties on file validate that the vehicle was owned by FoMoCo from new, then on to BrooklynOnce retired by Brooklyn, the car was sold in the early 1990s before finally being purchased by our vendor’s husband in April of 1995Due to its long term storage, it's not known exactly what specification the car is currently in, however the important information confirming the car's ID with the chassis number and registration is well documented and proven by correspondence between our vendor’s husband, the DVLA and Brooklyn Ford MotorsportCompetition History1987 - Made its competition debut at the RAC rally driven by Phil Collins. Sadly a broken diff lead to retirement1988 – 11 rallies across the UK with some top three finishes, piloted by Phil Collins1989 – Four events in the hands of Gwyndaf Evans, retired after whilst leading the Manx. Finished second at the Wydean Rally1990 - Eight Events entered, this time the driver being James Cullen, the most notable was a win on the Manx (Phil Collins) by almost five minutes, after an almost 18-month break from the sportThe car remains in its 'Mr Tompkinson Carpets' pink livery and looks, for all the world, like its just finished its last rally but realistically, is in need of a full restoration. There is a huge history file with lots of correspondence and original photographs which will help. This was an important car in period and returning it to top form may well prove to be a very worthwhile investment.Specification Make: FORD Model: SIERRA Year: 1987 Chassis Number: WF0EXXGBBEGG18808 Registration Number: D540 UVW Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 56010 KM Make: RHD Interior Colour: RaceClick here for more details and images
