Registration No: LA55 WKN Chassis No: SCBBE53W86C033636 MOT: March 202570,500 miles from new and just five former keepersAccompanied by a good history file and two new keysServiced by Rolls Royce & Bentley specialist Bowling-Ryan in July 2023Described as having “excellent” bodywork, paintwork, engine, transmission and interior‘There is much to love about the Bentley Flying Spur: it creates a sense of occasion like few other cars at any price, and offers an endearing blend of performance, potential top speed and braking power. The interior sets it apart from the more mainstream rivals, and there can be no denying that it fulfils its remit as a big, lavish limo. It’s even fun to drive, in a brutish kind of way’ (Autocar magazine).Introduced in 2005 to complement Bentley’s existing two-door Continental GT model, the four-door grand tourer Flying Spur used a stretched version of its sibling’s platform. Powered by the same twin-turbocharged 6.0 litre W12 engine allied to a six-speed automatic transmission, the luxury sports saloon boasted 552bhp and 479lbft of torque; outputs sufficient for 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds and 194mph. Equipped with Adaptive Air Suspension, Continuous Damping Control and Tosen-based permanent four-wheel drive, the big Bentley proved surprisingly nimble.Manufactured in 2005, the Flying Spur offered was registered new as '20 LR' on the 28th of October that year. Finished in Silver Tempest Metallic paintwork with complementary Cream leather interior upholstery and walnut veneers, the interior features the four-seat configuration with split rear seat. Understood to have been retained in first ownership until 2014, the Bentley has now covered some 70,500 miles and has had five former keepers. The vendor describes the Bentley as having “excellent” bodywork, paintwork, engine, automatic transmission, and interior and is said to have no known faults.Accompanied by a good history file with two new keys, the original book pack with owner's manual and stamped service book that shows nine services and the PDI, 'LA55 WKN' is booked in for a service with a Rolls Royce & Bentley specialist at the start of April in preparation for sale, and is offered with a no advisory MOT certificate until March 2025. A huge amount of car for the asking price today, these Bentleys offer luxury and performance motoring at a level few other manufacturers can rival.

Registration No: UO 6944 Chassis No: 259167 MOT: ExemptSubject to a full restoration during the 1980sSupplied with an extensive history file that includes a buff logbook and many period documentsConverted to utility specification by Whiteway’s Cider in period and eligible for historic commercial vehicle eventsMorris Motors began in 1912 when bicycle manufacturer, William Morris, moved on from the sale, hire and repair of cars to car manufacturing. He planned a new light car assembled from bought-in components; in this way he was able to retain ownership by keeping within the bounds of his own capital resources. A factory was opened in 1913 at the former Oxford Military College in Cowley, Oxford, where Morris's first car, the two-seat Morris Oxford 'Bullnose' was assembled. Morris Cowley was a name given to various cars produced by the Morris Motor Company from 1915 to 1958. In 1926, the Bullnose radiator was replaced by a flat version known as the ‘Flatnose’ and built by Morris until 1931.First registered on the 31st May 1928, 'UO 2944' was built as a two-seat Tourer with dickey which was converted within the first few years of its life into a very pretty utility vehicle by Whiteway's Cider of Exeter. Fitted with its smart wooden pickup back, it was used regularly to transport bags of apples from the orchard to the pressing factory. It subsequently was transferred into the ownership of a local doctor and remained in his custodianship for over fifty years and was used to travel the length and breadth of the country - with a number of house moves between Devon and London recorded in the buff logbook on file. In 1980, and now in a rather dilapidated state, it was donated to a charity auction in aid of a local church and was sold to a Morris enthusiast who carried out an extensive, ground-up restoration which is documented via a set of photographs. After restoration, it became a regular sight at numerous Bullnose Morris Club events throughout the 1980s and featured in a number of the club magazines. Offered for sale in 2002, our vendor (who owns a number of Morris Oxfords and Cowleys) bought the vehicle via auction and has maintained the car himself ever since, attending a number of events including the London to Brighton Commercial Vehicle Run, where it was greatly received. In the vendor's words, mechanically it is in 'good fettle' and starts up very easily with all functions working as intended. The bodywork is still in a very respectable condition, with aging that is expected from a 40 year old restoration and the interior is in 'very good' condition, with the Blue leather seat suiting it very well. The mohair hood, also now 40 years old, is somewhat faded but appears in overall 'fair' condition. Now ready for a new, loving owner, 'UO 6944' is ready for enjoyment and will surely give many years of happy driving and should turn heads with its interesting history.

Registration No: MCW 497J Chassis No: 1512201072 MOT: ExemptGenuine Karmann Beetle CabrioletExtensive restoration c.2012/1013Period accessoriesIn 1948, Wilhelm Karmann bought a standard Beetle and converted it into a four-seater convertible. After successfully presenting it at Volkswagen in Wolfsburg, Karmann began production of the Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet in 1949. After a number of stylistic and technical alterations made to it, the last of 331,847 cabriolets came off the conveyor belt on the 10th of January, 1980, bringing with it the end of an era. In 1971, alongside continued production of the standard Beetle, a variant that featured Macpherson strut front suspension and a re-designed front end was introduced which was officially known and marketed in Europe as the 'VW 1302' from 1971 (August 1970) to 1972 model years, and 'VW 1303' from 1973 onwards. The VW Beetle has seduced many a first-time buyer, collector and classic car enthusiast. And for obvious reasons; the parts network is many and inexpensive, the ability to convert the base model into many different variants was always available and the cost of the car itself presented a gateway into classic car ownership.Offered here is a 1970 VW 1302 iteration of the Karmann Beetle Cabriolet. Said to offer better handling from its McPherson strut front end, this example benefited from an extensive ‘body-off’ restoration in 2012/13. Finished in the striking VW Hellas Gold paint, the car was first registered in Germany, with the German fahrzeugbrief logbook on file. Since import to the UK, it has been converted to right-hand drive at the time of restoration.The engine is a 1600cc unit with a Weber carburettor and a Freeway Flyer gearbox. A new mohair roof was fitted in 2021. The car has disc brakes all round. Inside, the Karmann Cabriolet has benefitted from recent seat covers and carpets and a ‘Flat 4’ EMPI GT – style steering wheel, there’s an EMPI gear shifter, DAB radio with Pioneer speakers and a USB socket. The Cabriolet has been re-wired with a cut-out switch and a Powerspark electronic ignition added, a new Bosch ‘blue coil’ and new HT leads & plugs recently fitted. The car rolls on SSP Porsche 914 2-litre-style alloys with Toyo tyres.Other work has included a new clutch cable and guides, bespoke under bonnet storage, a new fuel tank & spare wheel/ tyre, a front strut brace and rear lap belts. This genuine Karmann-built Cabriolet is offered with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: KVW 147Y Chassis No: ZAR11637003017518 MOT: April 2025Supplied new by Bridge Motors of Braintree, EssexKept garaged throughout its life and exceptionally well preservedExtensive and detailed history fileGo find another like this!PLEASE NOTE: This lot now has a fresh MOT certificate valid until April 17th 2025Featuring a drivetrain layout that Alfa Romeo had last used on its all-conquering Tipo 158/159 Grand Prix cars, the Alfetta saloon was launched in 1972. Based around a monocoque bodyshell, the newcomer was equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a De Dion back axle, rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Boasting excellent weight distribution thanks to its rear-mounted five-speed transaxle, the Alfetta was initially powered by a 1779cc version of Alfa Romeo's famous four-cylinder 'twin-cam' engine. Widely praised by the contemporary motoring press for its handling and roadholding, the three-box saloon spawned a two-door fastback coupe variant in 1974. Penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Alfetta GT was shorter, lighter and more aerodynamic (0.39 cd) than its sibling. Arriving during 1976, the range-topping Alfetta 2000 GTV was reputedly capable of over 120mph and helped Autodelta win the Group 2 (sub-2500cc) division of that season's European Touring Car Championship. Facelifted in 1980 and renamed the GTV 2.0 accordingly, the wedge-shaped four-seater remained in production for another seven years. Though, right-hand drive variants have always been something of a rarity. A true ‘timewarp’, this exceptional example has been in single family ownership and covered a mere 48,000 miles from new. Purchased by the late A. Richardson Esq from Bridge Motors of Braintree, they carried out the Pre-Delivery Inspection check at 531 miles with further services following at 3,101, 8,527, 20,736, 32,223, 37,416 and 43,517 miles. Although company registered at different times, the Alfa was Mr Richardson’s 'pride and joy' and he its only driver. Kept garaged throughout its life, the Coupe remains in remarkably original condition. The period-perfect interior features a wood-rimmed steering wheel, wooden gearknob, Black cloth-faced seats, fishnet headrests and rectangular instrument surrounds. Touch points such as the pedal rubbers and seat belts corroborate the low mileage. The fifteen-inch alloy wheels are shod with Goodyear tyres, while the engine bay still shows plentiful traces of the anti-corrosion treatment that the car received some forty-one years ago. The website howmanyleft.co.uk suggests that there are only forty-seven 1983 GTV 2.0s currently known to the DVLA. We doubt that any are better than ‘KVW 147Y’. Worthy of close inspection, this exquisite Alfa is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, owner’s manual, service book, anti-corrosion book and fresh MOT certificate. Go find another!

Registration No: B20 LSR Chassis No: GWF0CXXGAECET88523 MOT: February 2025Highly original example with just three former keepersNotably sound underneath and treated to a top-end engine overhaulSupplied new by Jessups Ltd of Stamford, LincsDesirable Mineral Blue over Strato Silver colour scheme plus 'Laser' (LSR) number plateIntroduced in November 1984, the special edition Capri Laser featured a six-gauge dashboard, tinted glass, tailgate-mounted spoiler, leather-trimmed gear lever / steering wheel, body coloured grille / door mirrors, RS alloys, unique graphics, Black-painted bumpers and Truro cloth upholstery. Available with a choice of 1.6-litre or 2-litre SOHC four-cylinder engines allied to either five-speed manual or automatic transmission, the larger capacity variant was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 9.6 seconds and 113mph. The very last Capri Laser rolled off the production line at Ford's Cologne, West Germany plant during November 1986. Supplied new via Jessups (Stamford) Ltd to H.R. Wright, chassis GAECET88523 belonged to David Johnson for two months before being bought by Leslie Cornick on 12th June 2001. Treasured by Mr Cornick, a handwritten note on file details his request for the Capri’s inner wings to be sprayed with old engine oil as a preservative, while he was also responsible for sourcing the appropriate number plate ‘B20 LSR’ (2.0 litre Laser) for it. Entrusted to Misterton Garage (Ford) for a new camshaft and cylinder head overhaul in 2006, the four-seater was subsequently rolling road tuned by Sigma Engineering (2007) and treated to a new radiator (2015). Purchased by the current registered keeper from the late Mr Cornick’s estate during 2021, he had the Capri recommissioned for road use and re-sprayed in its factory colour scheme of Mineral Blue over Strato Silver. The original Truro II Grey cloth upholstery remains in situ but is protected by seat covers (the stitching on the driver’s pew having come apart). Warranted to have covered a mere 55,300 miles at the hands of its four registered keepers, this appealing Laser is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original book pack and MOT valid until February 2025.

Registration No: Unregistered Chassis No: 121567DN MOT: ExemptBespoke-built c.2012-2018 'modernised' Mk2 JaguarLarge list of upgrades for 21st century roadsModern air conditioning from RetroAir USA, electrically adjustable X300 sport seatsSome would say 'widely regarded' as the best-looking Saloon ever made on these shores, the Jaguar Mk2 embodied Sir William Lyons' famous philosophy of ‘grace, pace and space’. Some owners are never fully content and try to improve the ownership experience, which is where the creator of this car comes in.Completed in c.2018, the initiator of this build had said he always loved the lines of the Mk2, but was concerned that after years of being spoiled by the sheer convenience of modern cars, the reality of driving such an old car simply couldn’t live up to the dream. His answer was simple, he would get one bespoke-built just the way he wanted it. His first task was to source the best possible shell he could find, the solution coming in the form of a 'virtually rust-free' two-owner Mk2 2.4 model dating from October 1967, which he bought in 2012. Over the next six years he had the car 'professionally rebuilt from the ground-up', adding many upgrades along the way.Highlights of the full 2018 specification include a fully overhauled 3.8 Litre engine with new pistons etc., mated to a reconditioned Jaguar X300 automatic gearbox. Uprated systems include disc brakes and rear coil suspension conversions, copper extra-cored radiator, Kenlowe fan, heating and ventilation including modern air conditioning from RetroAir USA, electrically adjustable X300 sport seats, inertia-reel seat belts front and rear; Nardi steering wheel; modern sound system, new door, boot and screen rubbers, 4 new 15” MWS 72-spoke chrome wire wheels with new Avon tyres; the list goes on.Halfway through the build the then owner saw details of the upgraded Mk2 Jaguar that Ian Callum (Director of Design at Jaguar) had specially commissioned Classic Motor Cars Ltd (CMC) to make for him on his retirement. Taking inspiration from that car, he copied the front and rear styling, ditching the heavy chrome bumpers in favour of lightweight resin bumpers moulded to the shape of the car and painted in body colour, a mesh grille being added for a more sporting look. The wheel arches were also subtly flared and the whole car treated to a bare metal repaint in Rouge Lucifer (Diablo Red) Metallic. Now wearing Silver to the bumpers and in need of some fettling, it is offered at a fraction of the costs lavished upon it in 2018. It needs to be noted a mechanical issue coming from the engine compartment is present and the Jaguar has also recently been returned to the UK from Spain and has been marked for export by the DVLA so duty will be owing.

By late 1991, under Bruno Sacco, the first design sketches were drawn, with scale models being built in the first half of 1992. Massively successful in its first year, worldwide sales hit 55,000, over double the entire nine-year production of 190 SLs and between 1996 and 2004, over 311,000 SLKs were sold. The roof design consists of a folding steel hardtop with both halves linked by a mechanism that is locked securely when the roof is closed. At the touch of a button on the centre console, a hydraulic system controls the fully automatic folding process in which the boot lid is also integrated.Manufactured new in 2001 and supplied new to the United Kingdom, ‘MM51 ZBD’ was first registered on the 17th of October that year. Finished from the factory in Lazulithe Blue metallic paintwork with complementary two-tone Galaxy Blue and Merlin Blue leather interior upholstery with Eucalyptus wood dashboard, steering wheel grips and interior finishes. An example of the largest engine variant SLK (bar the AMG) with the 3.2-litre V6 engine, it is allied to the rare and desirable six-speed manual transmission, the SLK was provided with the options of an electric adjustable driver's seat, Mercedes-Benz radio with CD, interior protection package, and heated screenwash system.Offered now having covered just 74,600 miles from new and has only three former keepers. Accompanied to sale by the original book pack including the owner’s manual and the stamped service book presented in the Mercedes-Benz wallet, the service book has six stamps with further invoices in the history file for additional servicing. Also present are additional invoices and a collection of previous MOT certificates, as well as a current V5C document. Presented in a rare and striking colour scheme and with the scarce combination of the 3.2-litre V6 engine and manual transmission, this is a very appealing SLK and temptingly offered without reserve.

Registration No: SCZ 9635 Chassis No: WP0ZZZ94ZGN405367 MOT: June 2024Supplied by AFN Limited of MiddlesexFitted with retro-fit Design-90 alloy wheelsOffered with a selection of invoices for parts and maintenance151,940 recorded miles Porsche introduced the 944 in 1982 to replace the Porsche 924 as their entry-level model, although the 924 continued until 1988 as an even lower-priced alternative. Many Porsche enthusiasts considered the 944 to be the first real front-engined Porsche, because it didn’t have the Audi sourced 2.0 litre engine from the 924. Instead, the 944 started life with a 2.5 litre straight-4 engine which was based on one-half of the Porsche 928's V8 engine. Based on the earlier 924 body, some noticeable changes included flared wings, flared quarter panel and a larger rear spoiler.This charming 1986 Porsche 944 was originally supplied by AFN Limited of Middlesex. Presenting in Guards Red, it boasts a stylish set of 16” retro-fit Design-90 alloy wheels, typically found on the later S2 model of the 944 and has evidently received a cosmetic makeover in recent times. With its pleasing Porsche charm offered by its pin-striped Brown cloth upholstery, notable features inside include electric adjustment for the driver's seat and a facelifted dash design reminiscent of the models seen throughout the 968 series. Additional features comprise an electric (lift-out) sunroof with a storage bag and electric windows plus mirrors.Despite clocking some 151,940 miles, not untypical at this age, 'SCZ 9635' comes with a comprehensive history file boasting 20 old MOTs dating back to 1990 and 2 keys. The history file also includes invoices for parts and maintenance, as well as purchase receipts and copies of old registration documents. Additionally, the file contains the V5C, manuals, and service book detailing 15 old service stamps, the most recent of which is dated May 2005 at 130,960 miles, along with five additional stamps for brake fluid/coolant changes.

Registration No: WL 369 Chassis No: 151057 MOT: ExemptRestored during the 1960s and hardly used since, although recommissioned and kept in ready-to-use condition by the vendorSubject to a full engine overhaul within recent yearsDesirable two-seat tourer with Dickey seatIntroduced during 1913, the basic Morris 'Bullnose' design lasted until 1926 by which time its variants accounted for an impressive forty-five percent of new car sales in the UK. Compared to domestic and foreign rivals in the 12hp-14hp market, the model offered notably good performance courtesy of its torquey, four-cylinder engines and light yet robust leaf-sprung chassis. As well as having its engine enlarged from 1548cc to 1802cc for 1923, the more expensive Oxford derivative gained a longer wheelbase and four-wheel brakes two years later.Pleasing supplied with its original bill of sale, this charming Morris Oxford has an extensive history file dating all the way back to the 1920s and its buff log book displaying a number of previous owners - and still retains its original registration number. Understood to have been subject to ground up restoration during the 1960s when vintage cars were back in fashion thanks to clubs such as the VSCC - WL 369 was then painted in Plum over Black as it presents in today, used until the early 1970s and then laid up. The vendor took ownership of the car in 2013 and a previous owner had attempted to unseize the engine, although this had displaced a bore liner in the process. The vendor undertook a full engine overhaul with a Morris specialist and ensured the rest of the car was mechanically sorted. Sadly, in his 10 years of ownership the vendor has not used the car on the road at all, although has ensured it is in fine fettle throughout, and has therefore decided that it is time for this fine little car to find a new, loving home.

Registration No: YP 3916 Chassis No: 12651 MOT: ExemptIn current ownership for some thirty yearsTwo-seater coachwork with dickie seatBrakes relined and magneto overhauled in the last couple of yearsThe AC model made famous by The Hon. Victor Bruce’s win in the 1926 Monte Carlo RallyPLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press, we have been informed that the first Aceca had a single, passenger door only.It is therefore thought that this lot is a Royal Two-Seater with Dickey model. Although AC’s reputation was established by John Weller’s highly advanced overhead-camshaft six-cylinder engine fitted to this example, which offered 15.7bhp and 75mph in period, its early offerings relied on proprietary four-cylinder engines. The AC Six chassis featured quarter-elliptic springing front and rear, a three-speed gearbox in unit with the rear axle and worm final drive. Front-wheel brakes were optional at first, standard issue from 1927. Rated at 12hp for taxation purposes the four-cylinder AC remained in production until 1926, the firm relying exclusively on the Weller 15.7hp six thereafter. The Six took its place in history at the hands of AC works driver, The Hon. Victor Austin Bruce’s, achieving an outright win at the 1926 Monte Carlo Rally.Chassis 12651 was manufactured new in the year of The Hon. Victor Austin Bruce’s Monte Carlo Rally win, 1926, being supplied new to the United Kingdom and first registered on the 16th of July that year. Fitted with two-seater coachwork with dickie seat, the AC is presented in the attractive colour combination of British Racing Green paintwork with Black wings, and complementary Green interior upholstery. It is accompanied by its full weather equipment (hood, tonneau, and sidescreens) trimmed in Black, and features a three-speed box and rear brakes. Purchased from a friend of the vendor, who had owned the Six since 1988, the vendor acquired ‘YP 3916’ in 1994 and has used the car on several runs and rallies including touring the Cotswolds.Coming off the road in 2020, following the lockdown, the AC has remained off the road since and will therefore require a degree of recommissioning before pressing into use again. Despite this, during this period 12651 has benefitted from relined brakes and an overhauled magneto. The vendor informs that he believes the AC is ‘very good throughout mechanically’ and therefore only a light recommissioning should be required. Offered with a current V5C document showing just three former keepers, ‘YP 3916’ with the famous Weller’s six-cylinder engine is a very usable 1920s car and would be a great recommissioning project.

The Mégane Renault Sport 225 used double-axis strut suspension with independent steering axis at the front. Powered by a four-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine tuned to produce 225bhp, the car is capable of sprinting from 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds, before going on to a top speed of 147mph.
