1973 Jensen Interceptor Mk. III Transmission: automaticMileage:61696With the Interceptor’s introduction in 1967, Jensen switched from glass fibre to steel for its car bodies. Underneath, the preceding C-V8’s chassis, running gear and 6,276cc Chrysler engine remained substantially unchanged. With around 280bhp on tap, performance was more than adequate, The Motor magazine recorded a top speed of 140mph with 100mph arriving in 19 seconds. Leather upholstery, reclining front seats and walnut veneer were all standard features, while automatic transmission was the choice of almost all the buyers. The Series II incorporated revised front suspension, Girling brakes and redesigned interior, while the Series III, introduced in 1971, came with a 7.2 litre engine, better seats, central locking and alloy wheels. For 1974 Jensen adopted an improved, 330bhp version of the 7.2 litre Chrysler V8 on the ‘J Series’ Mk. III, which also gained all the equipment, including air conditioning, that had been standard issue on the now discontinued Interceptor SP. The major development that year was the introduction of the convertible, which in turn would inspire Jensen’s final variation on the Interceptor theme: The Coupé.This good 1973 Jensen Interceptor III was subject to a restoration sometime in the 1980’s when the colour was changed from black to the current colour of blue. The current owner purchased this car in 2009 from Jensen specialist, Cropredy Bridge Garage and at that time had fitted 17” alloy wheels, new walnut veneers and a high output alternator. In 2010, in preparation for a trip to the Le Mans Classic the following work was carried out, new big end bearings, new water pump, new starter motor, new power steering pump and a superpack radiator with high output fans. Later, in 2010, further work was carried out including new head gaskets, both exhaust manifolds refaced and refitted, new spark plug leads, rear exhaust silencers replaced, new starter solenoid and a reconditioned steering rack. The MoT test certificate in December 2010 shows the mileage to be 56,855 miles. In 2011, the carburettor was rebuilt, new oil pressure sender and electric window gears were fitted. Finished in blue with beige leather interior, this Interceptor III is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate, the original Jensen build sheets and a list of owners from DVLA. Also supplied with the car are new spares which are; door, bonnet and boot seals, new front seat cushions, new beige Wilton carpet set and a beige handbrake gator.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1995 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Mille Miglia Transmission: automaticMileage:55200These days, Mercedes has not released too many limited edition models outside of their in house tuning arm, AMG. Before the days of AMG proliferation, Mercedes would release a special edition model from time to time, such as this 1995 SL500 Mille Miglia. Built to commemorate Stirling Moss’s win of the historic 1955 Mille Miglia road race. This R129, available as an SL320 or SL500, was available only in brilliant Silver Metallic, equipped with Evo II six-spoke polished alloys and a red and black leather interior complemented by carbon fibre trim. The side bumper grilles were also given a rather unique chequered flag treatment that, upon close inspection, is a clever collection of chrome squares.This right hand drive example has covered a mere 55,200 miles from new and is presented in absolutely fantastic overall condition. Boasting just one former keeper, it was supplied by Cruickshank Mercedes of Bristol to its first owner in September 1995 who enjoyed the car for 19 years. It was then sold to the second owner by Mercedes-Benz Bristol as a used approved car in 2014. Options fitted to the vehicle are auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors, automatic air conditioning, electric/heated front seats, rear seats with seat belts and headlamp cleaning system. The car is described by the vendor as ‘in excellent all-round condition with everything working and it drives as it should’. It comes with a lovely history file along with documentation of the Mille Miglia race, the stamped service book, a file of invoices and roof stand. The last service was only 350 miles ago and the current MoT test certificate is valid until March 2022 with all previous advisories having been attended to. With low mileage and so few owners, this car is surely one to put away for the future with R129 prices on the rise.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1974 Mercedes-Benz 230 Limousine Transmission: automaticMileage:63000The name Limousine or Limo, as they are popularly known, originated from the Limousin region in central France from a type of hood worn by the population that resembled the covering for a carriage. Later, it was known as the cover for the driver on an automobile, while today, it is known as a luxury vehicle that has a longer frame and wheelbase to accommodate more space behind the driver, at times more than is needed. There are also models that are stretched to accommodate further passengers and include a further seating arrangement behind the driver. These seats face forward and may be folded in the down (and out of the way) position. In general limousines have either six or eight seats - the Mercedes-Benz 230 being one of these. The W114/W115 models were the first post-war Mercedes-Benz production car to use a newly engineered chassis, not derived from preceding models. The new chassis format of semi-trailing rear arms and balljoint front end would be used in all new Mercedes passenger car models until the development of the multi-link rear suspensions of the 1980’s.Originally registered on 1st May 1974, this W114 Limousine is finished in white with tan leather interior. The bodywork is in reasonable order, the interior, finished in tan leather, is particularly smart but for a tear in the driver’s seat. The middle (jump) seat folds away easily to leave enormous legroom for the rear passengers. Owned as part of a private collection, the car has been continually maintained and dry stored when not in use and subject to a recent engine rebuild with the power is delivered by the 2292cc six-cylinder petrol engine. This 230 Limousine is offered for sale with a V5C registration document and we think given recent W114 limousine prices achieved by Historics, very good value indeed.Guide £6,000 - £11,000 Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1982 Mercedes-Benz 280 TE Estate ‘Seven Seat’ Transmission: automaticMileage:Mercedes-Benz introduced the W123 four-door versions in January 1976 and, while there were some technical similarities to their predecessors, the new models were larger in wheelbase and exterior dimensions. The styling was also updated, although stylistic links with the W115 were maintained. In September 1982, all models received a mild facelift which included the rectangular headlights, previously only fitted to the 280/280E which were standardised across the board as was power steering. Since February 1982, an optional five-speed manual transmission was available in all models. Optional extras included MB-Tex upholstery, velour or leather upholstery, interior wood trim, passenger side exterior mirror, five-speed manual gearbox, four-speed automatic gearbox, electric windows, central locking, sunroof, air conditioning, climate control, Alpine horn, headlamp wipers, cruise control, power steering and heated seats.This lovely 280 TE Estate was registered on 17th November 1982. Presented in green with beige interior, this car adorns the family crest, on the front doors, of one of its former owners, Lord Hanson. One can just imagine his Lordship putting together a large deal using his 280 TE’s in-car telephone! An incredibly practical and relatively understated car for such a flamboyant character, this seven-seater, well equipped model no doubt served him faultlessly. Supplied with a service book and various handbooks, a UK V5C registration document and various sundry invoices. These fabulous family workhorses have a strong following and to find one with relatively low mileage and with such famous ownership is hard to match. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1962 Bentley S3 Transmission: automaticMileage:62618The last Bentley to be built on a separate chassis, in 1962, saw the introduction of the Bentley S3 factory bodied, standard steel saloon and, at first glance, it would appear that the all new S3 was merely an S2 with different headlamps. The introduction of the twin headlamps was clearly the most obvious change, but the differences did not end there. Further changes included the introduction of smaller bumper overriders and the repositioning of the front indicators and side lamps into one single unit on the front wing, resulting in a more attractive appearance. The S3's interior now had individual front seats in place of the split bench seat found in the earlier S-Types; and some, like this one, had electric windows and front seatbelts. Mechanically speaking the S3 was the same as the S2 with a 6,230cc, Rolls-Royce V8 engine and automatic gearbox but this model was fitted with larger carburettors, improved power steering to aid smoother movement at parking speed and a Lucas vacuum-advance distributor to aid fuel consumption, making it almost identical in mechanical specification to the S3 Continental that was being produced at the same time.This Bentley S3 standard steel saloon was supplied on 7th July 1964 and is presented in stunning deep blue coachwork with complementary soft grey leather interior and blue carpets. The interior which includes the walnut dashboard is synonymous with the comfort of such a prestigious vehicle. In 2020, after having the vehicle repainted in 2019, the vendor undertook a full engine rebuild of his S3, these two investments on such a luxurious vehicle would have come with quite an investment. Unfortunately, due to a lack of storage the vendor has decided the car must now be sold, this poses a fantastic opportunity for the new keeper to own a post-war, factory-built Bentley perfect for special occasions.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1989 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:92902 With the R107 shape Mercedes-Benz, you are very much buying into an image. The style and flair are there in spades married, obviously, to renowned German build-quality. There are many variations on the theme in terms of engine size and the larger the size, generally, the more desirable, the car and so it is with this ‘Sports Licht’ roadster. The biggest on offer in Europe was the five litre, V8 engine and it is this well-engineered power plant that can be found under this bonnet today.Presenting well in the rare but attractive colour combination of Almandine Red with cream interior, this classic looking Mercedes has benefitted from recent extensive work by the SL Shop, N J Restorations and D-Class automotive that has totalled over £35,000. These comprehensive works included: replacement bulkhead, a new soft top, extensive work on the suspension, brakes and engine with new tyres, new carpets and seat covers. In addition to this a bare metal respray has been completed by NJ Restoration and the replacement bulkhead is still under warranty from the SL Shop. There is both a photographic history of the restoration and a file of receipts, invoices and old MoT’s to accompany ten years of service history. This 500 SL is one of the last of the R107 models to leave the world-famous Stuttgart factory (registered in December 1989) and features the optional rear seats and the desirable removable hardtop. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until July 2021 and given the values achieved at auction recently, G794 CLK can only be described as extremely well estimated. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1976 Lamborghini Espada Series III Transmission: manualMileage:11976 The 1967 Geneva Motor Show event saw the unveiling of the sensational Lamborghini Marzal. A concept car which was seen as an approach to a four-seat Lamborghini. A forerunner for the successful distinct Espada. Named after a matador's sword, the Espada was styled along lines similar to those of the concept Marzal but carried a 4.0 litre V12 up front, first seen in the 400GT and Islero. Introduced in January 1970, the Series II cars came with an extra 25bhp, 155mph top speed, an improved dashboard layout and the option of power assisted steering. The dashboard was revised yet again in late 1972 for the Series III, which also incorporated power steering as standard, up-rated brakes, minor suspension improvements, and a restyled front grille. Espada production ceased in 1978 after 1,217 of these imposing cars had been built. Even today there are few cars that can match the on-road presence of the Espada.This stunning Series III Espada is offered in black with grey full leather interior and we are informed chassis number 9510 was one of the last cars to leave the factory. During the course of its life the car has spent time in various private collections as well as in the Autoglass Family Museum. At the start of what became a comprehensive restoration in September 2008, the car was put into Colin Clarke Engineering where the engine was removed to be fully rebuilt. The car was then sent away to have further works undertaken which included a bare metal respray, all sills and floor pans were completely refurbished before being protected for future use. Once this was complete, the interior was treated to a full retrim in grey leather bringing the car back to full factory condition. The car was then returned to Colin Clarke Engineering in September 2010 to have the rebuilt engine fitted and tested. At the same time the brakes and suspension were overhauled along with the gearbox. This vehicle is now held in our vendors private collection and accompanied by a comprehensive history file. An absolutely stunning, right hand drive, manual example of the marque, this example certainly could not be recreated for the estimate range and thus looks incredible value for such a collectable car. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction. Buyers are advised to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out this service. Historics will not entertain disputes over descriptions.
1996 Ferrari F355 Spider Transmission: manualMileage:35854The Ferrari F355 was manufactured between May 1994 and 1999 and was an evolution of the Ferrari 348. It is a mid-engined, rear wheel drive, V8 powered two seater coupé. At launch, two models were available; the Coupé Berlinetta and the Targa topped GTS. The Spider (convertible) version was introduced in 1995. One major difference between the longitudinal V8 in the 348 and that in the 355, apart from the displacement increase from 3.4 to 3.5 litres, is that the F355 features a five valve per cylinder head that is considerably more powerful, producing 375bhp. The nomenclature does not follow the formula from the previous decades, i.e. engine capacity plus cylinder number - for example, the Ferrari 308 name comes from three litres plus eight cylinders, with the same for the 328, 348, 512 etc. This time, Ferrari used engine capacity plus number of valves per cylinder; proud to boast about this technological advancement, with the name 355 coming from 3.5 litre engine capacity and five valves per cylinder. The F355 has become the most popular model so far with over 11,273 cars manufactured of which 3,843 were Spiders.This very good left hand drive 1996 Ferrari F355, fitted with the six speed manual gearbox, was supplied on 23rd May 1996 by Ferrari of Los Gatos in California. Whilst in the US the car only had two Californian owners and had only covered 35,000 miles from new before it was imported to the UK in February 2018 and put into storage. Finished in Giallo Fly with black leather interior, black hood and black hood cover, this F355 is supplied with original prancing horse wing shields, black brake calipers, tool bag and Ferrari car cover, and was fitted with a new cambelt at the end of 2020. It also comes with a UK V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in 2022 and a complete handbook pack. This lovely, ex-Californian Ferrari F355 represents good value for money and is in one of the most desirable Ferrari colour schemes.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction. Buyers are advised to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out this service.

1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda Transmission: automaticMileage:45700In 1963, Mercedes-Benz debuted an all-new roadster to replace the 190 SL and 300 SL - the 230 SL. The 230 SL 'Pagoda' was a stunning Paul Bracq designed two-seat convertible that followed Mercedes' new design language, featuring crisp lines and upright headlights. To save on weight, the bonnet, doorskins, boot lid, and tonneau cover were all composed of aluminium. The nickname 'Pagoda' was quickly adopted thanks to the slightly concave roof on the optional removable hardtop that resembled a pagoda roof. In 1967, Mercedes introduced the third and final iteration of the 'Pagoda', the 280 SL, and it then became apparent that some cars don't change, they just get better. The 280 featured the same modified W111 chassis with a rear swing axle and independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Power came from a 2.8 litre version of Mercedes inline-six and used Bosch fuel injection. A charming model with capable handling and braking thanks to its suspension and all-wheel disc brakes. These roadsters also have one of the most beautiful bodies produced in the 1960s. Thanks to their robust inline-six and their luxurious Mercedes interior, they are wonderful cars to be driven and enjoyed.This excellent, right hand drive, 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda has been subject to a two-year ground-up restoration by marque specialists Red Castle Classics based near Cardiff in South Wales. Since the restoration which was completed four years ago this car has only driven 350 miles. The first owner is unknown but from October 1978 it was owned by Mr. McMinn of Surbiton, he sold it in 1982 to Mr. Simon Peters who kept the car for many years until the car was sold, by his then widow, to Mr. Max Walker in July 2010 who shipped the car to his home in Jersey where he changed the colour from gold to metallic grey and upgraded the interior to black leather. This 280 SL returned to the mainland in 2012. Purchased by the current owner in April 2016 to join his small collection of SLs, he sent it directly for the restoration to be completed. It is believed the mileage of 45,700 miles is correct and is supported by old MoT test certificates which date back to 1982 at 18,240 miles and bills from June 1979 at 2,608 miles. Now superbly finished in the Mercedes-Benz classic colour scheme of silver with red leather interior, this 280 SL roadster is supplied with a matching factory hardtop, the desirable third seat option and a Becker Mexico radio from 1971. Supplied with the car is a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in September 2021 and a file containing old MoT test certificates, sundry invoices including the invoice for the restoration at £80,000 plus VAT, the service book and the handbook. These Pagodas are always a pleasure to drive, particularly in good weather when the roof is down and the smooth six-cylinder engine can be enjoyed.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1992 Jaguar XJ220 Transmission: manualMileage:22691The story behind the Jaguar XJ220 is an inspiring one. Professor Jim Randall, the head of Jaguar's engineering department, started the ball rolling by sketching out some ideas whilst on a Christmas holiday in the 1980's. It was the stuff of fantasies - V12, 4WD, slippery body with ground effects. Together with colleagues in the 'Saturday Club' at Jaguar (so called because they met out of hours and at weekends to work on unofficial pet projects) they toyed with the idea until Jaguar started getting genuinely excited by the idea and official plans were put in place to build what was to be the fastest ever road car at the time.The Birmingham Motor Show in 1988 saw the unveiling of the powered concept with the design featuring a V12, fuel injected, 48 valve 530BHP engine delivering its output to all four wheels. As expected, orders came flooding in, even with the necessary £50,000 deposit required to go on the waiting list. However, when the car came to fruition some four years later the economy had change dramatically and so had the car. The V12 became a V6 twin turbo, effectively the Metro 6R4 powerplant and the four-wheel drive became two-wheel drive. Unsurprisingly, many orders were cancelled and deposits returned. However, the use of the V6 allowed the chassis to be shortened, although the proportions of this car are still truly impressive. The engine sits behind the two-seat cabin, with a tiny boot available behind that. The styling is heavily influenced by the need to cool the highly tuned engine and also to provide sufficient downforce to keep the car steady at the 217mph top speed. Delivered on 14th December 1992, this XJ220 was registered to Mr. Jean Blaton in Belgium and has covered 22,699km (circa 14,100 miles) from new. The car has been through periods whereby it was used and well serviced by British Auto Center in Antwerp, by JaguarSport Ltd in Banbury and by Jaguar Cars in Browns Lane. Supplied with a NOVA certificate, it would appear the car has previously been registered in the UK which would make obtaining a UK registration number and document a relatively straight forward process. Finished in Silverstone Green Metallic with grey leather interior, this lefthand drive example has recently been recommissioned by Don Law, the XJ220 guru. Work included a six-year service, new timing belts, replacing all the seals and gaskets on the engine, overhauling and re-sealing the brake system, as well as other additional work. The total invoice cost was £61,760.03. This work was completed in October 2020. Now presenting in first class order and ‘ready to go’, car number 97 from Jaguar’s limited production run is sure to bring much joy to the new owner.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1971 Jaguar E-Type Series III 2+2 Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:76220By the mid-1960s, the Jaguar E-Type was appealing to the man with a young family but who were restricted by the size of the current Jaguar E-Type Coupé and its open topped sibling. This prompted Jaguar to offer a third option in the form of a 2+2 Coupé. By adding nine inches to the wheelbase and two inches in height, it was then possible to fit a rear seat capable of seating two adults in tolerable comfort. Of course the rear seat was more suited to children or, as 'The Motor' put it at the time, the car could 'extend Dad's youth for another seven years'. Robert Bell in Motor was quoted as saying at the time that all we expected to try was a new engine but what in fact we drove was a new car. Not a yowling, aggressive Ferrari-like machine with which, perhaps, most people associate a V12 engine but a very smooth, quiet and refined grand touring sports car.Manufactured on 3rd March 1971, this E-Type was built as a left hand drive model and was intended to be sold in Italy. However as the Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirms, this order was cancelled and the car remained with Jaguar Cars. The car appears to have undergone a colour change from light blue to British Racing Green and converted to right hand drive before it was finally despatched to Coombs in Guildford on 30th March 1973. Presenting now in very good order throughout, this E-Type starts on the button and runs exceedingly well; these long-legged tourers are ideal for a trip to the coast or to the South of France. With only four previous keepers, this Jaguar has clearly been very well cared for. The beige leather trim complements the exterior colour and she also has a full length Webasto sunroof. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a good history folder, this classically dynamic design is still a head turner. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1954 Chevrolet 3100 Pick-up Transmission: automaticMileage:81264The 1948-1953 Chevrolet Series 3100 ½ ton pick-ups benefited from a redesign that took Chevrolet trucks into a new era of comfort, convenience, and style. Chevrolets restyled ‘Advance Design’ trucks were introduced in 1947, well ahead of its first new post-war cars and little changed in appearance through 1953. The basic intent was to provide more room and comfort for occupants. These pick-ups had a new bench seat accommodating three people instead of the old separate seats and for the first time the seat was adjustable for longer leg room. The cab, described as ‘Unisteel Battleship’ construction, was larger in every direction. New extra-wide doors swung open on concealed hinges and extended down to cover the sills. The window area grew considerably via a wider windscreen, side windows and backlight, a vast improvement all-round compared to the previous models.The original paintwork on this 3100 pick-up has a wonderful patina and, we are told, has the original wood work in the open boot area. This column shift, manual transmission example fired up when requested and we are informed it drives well. We strongly advise any interested parties to personally inspect this Chevrolet as it is in such original condition and imported from a dry state, showing no sign of any corrosion. The phrase ‘they don’t build them like they use to’ applies to this ½ ton pick-up. The file for this Chevrolet contains a Nova certificate following the pick-ups importation and a V5C registration document has been applied for.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1997 Land Rover 90 Defender County Station Wagon TDi Transmission: manualMileage:73298The Land Rover Defender was developed in the 1980’s from the original Land Rover series that was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show in April 1948. This four-wheel drive vehicle was the British equivalent of the American Willys Jeep. Built using a steel ladder chassis and aluminium bodywork the Defender gained a worldwide reputation for ruggedness and versatility.This well-equipped seven seat County version of the iconic Land Rover Defender 90 was originally registered on 3rd June 1996 and benefits from a sunroof, roof rails, multi height towbar, folding side steps and chequer plate bonnet protection. The seats are arranged with three forward facing and four inward facing in the rear. The rear seats fold away to allow for increased load space, this seat configuration is becoming rarer to find and offers fantastic practicality. The dark metallic blue paint work is complemented by a white roof and the car sits on attractive alloy wheels. Presented to auction with a V5C registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate, this Land Rover, offered without reserve, is as practical as it is fun.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1982 Land Rover Series III Transmission: manualMileage:88418The iconic Land Rover Series I, II, and III are commonly referred to as ‘Series’ Land Rovers to distinguish them from later models. These easily recognisable vehicles were produced by the world famous Midland manufacturer from 1948 until 1985. Land Rover state that 70% of the vehicles are still in use today. A fantastic achievement for any motor manufacturer.This fantastic 1982 Series III was originally registered in July 1982 and has more recently benefitted from a comprehensive restoration. The quality of which is easy to see. The car now presents wonderfully in Land Rovers original Pale Green colour that is complemented with a contrasting white roof and classic white steel wheels. The practical seat configuration of this iconic car consists of three individual seats in the front and inwards facing benches in the rear which are extremely user friendly. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, a file containing restoration documents, bills and receipts, this MoT test exempt Land Rover can be considered an appreciating British classic and as such is conservatively estimated.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1963 Land Rover Series IIA Transmission: manualMileage:51537 The Land Rover Series IIA is considered by many to be the hardiest Series model constructed. It was whilst the Series IIA was in production that sales of utility Land Rovers reached their peak, in 1969-70, when sales of over 60,000 Land Rovers a year were recorded. Compare that with sales of the Defender in recent years which have been around the 25,000 level since the 1990s. As well as record sales, the Land Rover dominated many world markets - in Australia, for example, the Land Rover held 90% of the 4×4 market in the 1960’s. This figure was repeated in many countries such as Africa and the Middle East.This very well presented 1963 Land Rover Series IIA has benefitted from an extensive restoration in 2015. The body was acid dipped and fully resprayed in its, believed to be original, Poppy Red colour scheme and both the chassis and bulkhead were treated and galvanised. During the restoration, the Land Rover was fitted with sensible upgrades including a heated front screen, a split charge system with camping battery fitted underneath the front passenger seat, a USB port at the front and a concealed fridge connection port at the rear.

1987 Jaguar XJ-SC (5.3 litre) Transmission: Mileage:99400That Jaguar's XJS will become a 'bona fide' classic is beyond doubt. Launched in 1975, its 21 year production life was a testimony to the excellence of its basic design. With all round independent, coil sprung suspension, power assisted rack and pinion steering and disc brakes, its excellent ride/handling balance was justly praised by the contemporary motoring press. The XJS's superlative 5.3 litre developed some 295bhp in later fuel injected form and when allied to automatic transmission gave authoritative 150mph performance. The targa element of the car was often preferred over the straight convertible as it added more torsional rigidity and so increased performance.This example of the four seat, XJ-SC is presented in white with contrasting grey leather and navy blue hood with targa panels. Owned by our vendor since 2009, the history file shows a raft of continual maintenance including £1,600 as recently as November 2020 on new spark plugs, HT leads, HT cap and rotor arm and alternator drive belt, refreshing some wiring. It is described as an original example but some six years ago was treated to a cosmetic professional restoration and, although we are informed by the vendor that the inside cosmetics could benefit from some attention, it has had a new headlining. Offered with the car is a comprehensive history file with original paperwork, owner’s handbook and service record comprehensively stamped, toolkit and jack with two complete sets of keys. A full set of invoices from previous owners is also included together with history of work undertaken by classic car/Jaguar specialists and an MoT until November 2021. Described as driving well and mechanically good with sound bodywork this is a very useable and affordable XJS perfect for post lockdown road trips this summer.Guide Price £8,000 - £12,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1966 Jaguar S-Type (3.4 litre) Transmission: automaticMileage:Produced from 1963 to 1968, the Jaguar S-Type was technically a more sophisticated development of the Jaguar Mk. II, offering buyers a more luxurious alternative. It was available with either 3.4 or 3.8 litre XK engines and featured longer rear bodywork among other styling and interior changes. Despite its extra weight, the S-Type's independent rear suspension allowed it to corner faster than the Mk. II, especially on uneven surfaces, providing better traction and a much smoother ride for rear seat passengers with the consensus that the S-Type offered significant improvements over the Mk. II in road holding, safety and ride comfort. It was described as 'a convenient family car, a businessman's express, a sports coupé and a grand tourer.'The file for this Jaguar S-Type contains pictures showing the car in all its glory following, what appears to have been, a previous comprehensive restoration. The colour of the car is the classic combination of red with a beige leather interior. This 3.4 litre Jaguar does not run and requires attention but shows tremendous potential. Originally registered in February 1966, the DVLA website shows this car has only having two owners in its 54 years. This Jaguar is offered without reserve and the potential of a stunning car.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1985 Austin Maestro 1.3 Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:18266The Austin Maestro was produced from 1983 to 1987 by British Leyland and from 1988 until 1995 by Rover Group. The car was produced at the former Morris plant in Cowley, Oxford although today, the redeveloped factory produces the BMW Mini. The Maestro incorporated many novel and pioneering features for its class. It had a bonded laminated windscreen, homofocal headlamps, body-coloured plastic bumpers, an electronic engine management system, adjustable front seat belt upper anchorage positions, an asymmetrically split rear seat and a 12,000-mile service interval.Offered from a deceased estate, this 1985 Austin Maestro is in remarkable and original condition. The Maestro has only three owners recorded in total. A Miss Audrey Baker purchased the car on 14th October 1985 less than one month from the date of first registration at the original supplying Austin-Rover dealers the Marn Group, London. The car was the pride and joy of its last owner and attended many local rallies. When he purchased the car in 2013, the centre of the roof had dull paintwork so a Union Jack was applied. This does not detract from the overall appearance; in fact, quite the opposite with, apparently, many positive comments received from onlookers during trips. The car was recently inspected by a marque collector and specialist who stated that, due to the car’s condition, the mileage is believed genuine making this, probably, one of the lowest mileage examples in existence. Certainly, on inspection, the key areas that are first to succumb to rot and wear on these models are in remarkable condition. These include the engine bay, undersides, filler cap area, interior and luggage compartment area amongst others. There are one or two marks on the coachwork, but these do not deflect from its overall condition. This example is a Mk. I base model with the more desirable early dashboard and instrumentation. The car comes complete with its original and unused tools and jack etc. There is also a UK V5C registration document, manuals, original radio (not fitted) and approximately two boxes of spare parts.Finished in Moonraker Blue with a grey interior, this charming Maestro is a rare car indeed and with such low mileage, ownership history and great condition, it is highly collectible.
