A superbly engineered machine, UK-delivered, just 39,000 miles and hugely capable.The letters ‘STI’ hold a special sort of appeal for many Subaru Impreza enthusiasts. Think of ‘Subaru Technica International’ as the go-faster wing of Subaru much as M is to BMW, AMG is to Mercedes or, more accurately, Ralliart is to Mitsubishi. STI-badged Imprezas command serious respect and the officially imported UK cars are always in big demand.It's fair to say that October 2000 was a significant month for Impreza owners. Out went the much-loved original shape car and in came the revised bug-eyed edition. The reception was frosty to say the least, as Subaru realised that the styling wasn't to the taste of hardcore fans and moved quickly with the launch of the Impreza UK300 which offered compound headlamps, bigger spoilers, and the option of a Prodrive WR kit that boosted power to 245bhp. The UK300 was an instant hit and Subaru UK subsequently introduced the Impreza STi at the 2001 Frankfurt show. Debuting in British showrooms in January 2002, the STI, a car that was launched with 261bhp and the option of a standard car or one with bigger Prodrive-designed spoilers, grille, and front bumper. Both were badged 'Type-UK' to differentiate them from parallel imported models.The 2002 Paris Motor Show saw the release of the facelifted Impreza with much of the credit going to Prodrive and the designer of the McLaren F1, Peter Stevens. With revised front wings, shapelier headlights, a more aggressive bumper and front grille, a re-sculpted bonnet and revised rear light clusters, it was a far more cohesive design than its predecessor and sales soon picked up again, especially as its key rival, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII, had just been toned down from its Evo VI heyday. Almost immediately Prodrive announced a performance pack for the STI offering a full 300bhp. A 2003 facelift saw the controversial bug-eye headlamps replaced and a raft of other changes brought in.Introduced at the 2001 Frankfurt Show, the STI is powered by a 265bhp 2.0-litre flat four engine, but don't be fooled into thinking that it's merely a case of plugging in a more aggressive engine management chip or a bucket-sized turbocharger. The later 2003 facelifted car followed the same theme with revised suspension and a few engine tweaks. Nearly 80% of the STI's all-alloy powerplant is unique. The piston head was reshaped to form tougher semi-closed-deck cylinder blocks. Screw-in conrods and forged pistons combine with shimless valve lifters, sodium-filled exhaust valves and hollow valve intakes. Every moving part is either stronger, lighter or both. This reduces inertia and gives the engine a manic free-revving feel that's missing from the standard WRX. A larger intercooler and air intake help keep things from meltdown, and a water spray has been fitted to the intercooler that is operated by the driver via a dash-mounted button. Serious stuff.Differences to the regular WRX include special gold-coloured spoked alloy wheels, colour-keyed sill spoilers and an interior featuring blue suede-effect seats with STI logos and red stitching for the steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake lever. Also, inside - and sure to please enthusiasts - is a switch to spray the intercooler with water. Another device allows the driver to pre-set a warning buzzer and light to guard against over-revving the engine. On opening the bonnet, the engine compartment greets owners with a dramatic mixture of colours and detailing. The intake manifold, for example, is painted in red and the enlarged aluminium intercooler emblazoned with STI lettering. In addition, the STI Prodrive Style features a massive high-riding boot spoiler, newly designed sill spoilers and a deeper, squarer front bumper. The grille and badging resemble the WRC rally car. Interior enhancements over the standard STI include dark blue-coloured instruments with red needles. Four colours were available: WR Blue Mica, Blue Black Mica, Premium Silver Metallic and Pure White, the latter two being available to special order only.The car presented here is a 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX-STI Type UK which has built on its very sound standard specification and been further enhanced for even more performance and fast driving acumen. The discerning older owner of this special car, a renowned figure in motoring circles, has improved this car with superb engineering carried out by proper specialists.

Regarded as the ultimate Porsche Turbo; one of only 53 examples, UK-specification, just 25,000 miles and extremely original.First launched at the 1973 Paris Auto Show, with production commencing in 1975, the Porsche 911 (930) Turbo was a genuine Supercar which defined both the 1970s and 80s and was one of the fastest production cars available at that time. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS which was increased to 3.0-litres (eventually 3.3-litres) and, of course, turbocharged with technology gleaned from Porsche's 917/30 Can-Am programme. The brakes were also derived directly from the 917. The bodywork received special treatment resulting in one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear 'Tea-tray' spoiler.In 1989, before production was discontinued, Porsche marked the occasion by creating a very special, right-hand drive, limited-edition 930 LE - the ultimate Turbo, produced as the last hurrah to a turbo charged era. Starting out as a standard 3.3-litre model, the cars were then sent to the exclusive team at Zuffenhausen who built each example by hand.With just 53 of these cars produced, one for each UK dealership in 1989, a host of bespoke no-cost options were offered including colour-coded wheels, top-tinted windscreen, a choice of colours for interior and exterior, rear-quarter air intake ducts, electric sunroof, heated multi-adjust electric seats, electric sunroof, and gold ‘Turbo’ lettering stitched behind the seat. They also came fitted with leather throughout, extending over the seats, dash, centre console and door trims. Topped-off with a 3-spoke steering wheel with a special Porsche crest badge in gold, a feature which is echoed on top of the gear knob, plus a gold plaque with ''911 Turbo, 1975-1989 Limited Edition Model'’ engraving - as recognition of the LE's place in Porsche 911 history.Further features include electrically adjustable Sports seats with heating, electric tilt and slide sunroof, climate control, Becker Mexico radio/ CD, rear wiper, and a 180-mph speedometer (Z order number 02061).On the outside, the LE cars are visually very striking, with the poster pin-up wide bodywork and big rear wing. The side intake strakes and deep front spoiler (with additional oil cooler) follow the styling of the Low-build (Flachbau) SE model; similarly, the LE utilises the 330bhp 3.3-litre engine of the SE, hence a larger turbo charger, higher lift camshafts, higher boost pressure, larger intercooler, and quad exhaust system. Featuring the G50 5 speed manual gearbox with short shift, and option M220 limited slip diff.At the time of production, Porsche had no plans to turbocharge the incoming 964, so it was believed that the LE would indeed be the final forced induction model to leave the Stuttgart factory. The price was an eye-watering £84,500, a full 50% more than the average house price at the time!This original, right-hand drive UK-specification (C16) Porsche 911 (930) Turbo Limited-Edition (LE) was sold new on the 1st August 1989 by JCT600 (Rawdon) Ltd. Official Porsche Centre of Newcastle upon Tyne and was believed to have been ordered by the then Chairman of Newcastle United Football Club, Sir John Hall. He had a preference for purchasing cars with a black and white interior, hence this LE is finished in its special Linen and Black leather. This combination perfectly complements the Grand Prix White paintwork and matching Fuchs alloys.This superbly preserved car has covered just 24,996 miles (atoc) from new, supported by an original stamped-up service booklet (a mixture of Porsche Centres and marque specialists), up until 23,505 miles. Subsequently it was serviced by the highly respected Hairpin Company when our vendor purchased it from them in 2020. The car is thought to retain its original paint, to have never been restored and is wholly original – it certainly retains that Porsche smell and the overall condition is truly commensurate with the low mileage indicated.The factory option sticker under the bonnet remains in place and shows all the options codes you would expect for its model type, including (139) heated seats, (220) limited slip differential, (XA4) front spoiler, (XB7) rear air-ducts, (XE7) front oil cooler, (XH1) 3-spoke steering wheel, (XK5) leather gear lever, and (XN7) leather handbrake.The car is accompanied by its compete book pack, numerous receipts for maintenance over the years, tool roll, jack, and a UK V5C. This rare Turbo LE was the culmination of the 930 Turbo's 14 years of production, and as a result, is probably the best-developed iteration of this model, making it highly collectable today. This is one of the best Turbo LEs we’ve had the pleasure of offering, and we urge you to come and see the car in the metal.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 930 TURBO LEYear: 1989Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ93ZKS000750Registration Number: G656 RTYTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 67K01008 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 24000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Linen / Black leatherClick here for more details and images
Extremely rare and desirable. Finished in gleaming Nero, this is one of only three UK right-hand drive examples fitted with a manual gearbox. These models represented the final opportunity to buy a naturally-aspirated, manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive Lamborghini.Valentino Balboni started working for Lamborghini on 21 April 1968, as an apprentice mechanic working his way up through the company until his retirement in 2009. In the 1980s, he was the only test driver who was simultaneously employed in prototype development, production and customer service at Lamborghini becoming the face of the brand and an ambassador for the company. In the 1990s, SantAgata began production of the Diablo and prominent customers in the USA, Japan and the Arab states often insisted on meeting Balboni in person, to hear about their new car directly from the chief test driver.Today, Balboni leads the life of an elder statesman and, despite retiring, he is still proud to be known worldwide as Mister Lamborghini, a witness to both the founding era of Ferruccio Lamborghini and to the age of carbon fibre. Anyone who has ever sat beside him in the passenger seat, their palms sweaty and their heart pounding, will never forget the experience.At the time of his retirement, the factory honoured their main man with a personal limited-edition of 250 that offered him a free hand to encapsulate all his favourite driving characteristics in one model. Based on the Gallardo 550, the LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni is rear-wheel drive, reducing the curb weight by 30 kg to 1,470 kg. The engine is rated at 542bhp and Lamborghini claims the Balboni can reach a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph) and despatch 0-62 mph in 3.9 seconds.Upon its release in 2009, the vehicle was sold out immediately as, apart from being a stunning limited-edition celebrating a much-loved man, the Balboni was the first rear-wheel drive Lamborghini model for over 10 years and a unique opportunity to option a manual gearbox car.This, UK-supplied, right-hand drive car is one of only three UK-supplied Balbonis with the desirable manual gearbox finished in Nero and just 16,800 miles have been covered from new in the hands of its five careful owners.The specification for this particular example includes 19" Scorpius Multi-Spoke Alloy Wheels, Gloss Black Calipers, Satellite Navigation, Lifting Kit, Reversing Camera, Multi-Function Flat Bottom Leather Steering Wheel, Dual Climate Control and much more. It benefits from a Lamborghini service history completed at the following intervals:Lamborghini London:03/09/10 at 3,454 miles24/11/11 at 5,832 miles09/01/13 at 6,188 miles27/01/14 at 7,940 miles12/03/15 at 10,856 milesLamborghini Manchester:24/02/16 at 11,924 milesLamborghini London:24/04/19 at 16,200 milesLamborghini Birmingham:16/03/2021 at 16,648 milesFinished in Nero Noctis with full Nero Perseus leather interior with Balboni signature stripes and a centre console in Bianco Polar, this Special Edition is now ready for its next owner to join the very exclusive club of manual-gearbox Balboni ownership.A manual, rear-wheel drive, normally-aspirated, V10 is one for the pure driving enthusiast. It is also important to remember that this car was the last chance for customers to own a normally aspirated, rear-wheel drive, manual gearbox Lamborghini - the ultimate drivers experience from Sant'Agata.NB: The car has been the property of Silverstone Auctions Managing Director, Nick Whale, for the last two years.

A properly engineered and superb fast-road driving RS homage.The 1973 Porsche 911RS is considered by all knowledgeable Porsche enthusiasts to be the single best 911 of all time. This is high praise when you consider the large number of 911 models that have been built over the 50+ years since the model's introduction. The Carrera RS (Renn Sport) is still to this day the benchmark 911, the beautiful lines only being matched by the sheer delight of driving it, with its positive steering, exhilarating sound, and linear performance. The RS had a purity of purpose that was not compromised by outside factors. For this reason, the Porsche RS Replica or "back-date" market has grown enormously, and demand is far outstripping the supply of quality machines.This tribute car presented here pays homage to the legendary 1973 2.7 RS, echoing that famous silhouette very well, and was professionally built by a well-respected Porsche specialist covering just over 1,000 miles since completion with its one and only owner. It utilises a C16, RHD 1984 3.2 Carrera Coupé as its starting point, this being a healthy well-serviced example with a decent history file containing numerous invoices and MOT Certificates documenting its conservative mileage.This striking car, now reborn, looks just right in the classic combination of Grand Prix White with Guards Red decals, wearing period Fuchs alloy wheels with Bridgestone Porsche N-rated tyres. All panels are period correct, having been sourced from Porsche, including new front wings, bonnet, front slam panel, sills, kidney bowls, rear quarters, fuel tank, and bumpers. All body seals are also new. The suspension has been rejuvenated with new dampers and new Powerflex bushes as well as new engine and gearbox mounts. Uprated drilled sports discs have been fitted along with new calipers, uprated steel-braided brake lines, and new wheel bearings. The 3.2-litre engine has been comprehensively stripped and rebuilt with new bearings, piston rings, chains, chain guides, chain tensioners, valve guides, and gaskets throughout. Additionally, the car was treated to an air induction kit, a brand-new starter motor and a custom stainless-steel exhaust and heat exchangers. The 915 gearbox has been fully rebuilt with new synchro rings, dog teeth, a WEVO conversion with a proper gearbox gate shifter system, along with a WEVO short shifter and PSJ precision coupler, and now feels like a G50 box! A new clutch and flywheel have been fitted and all gear linkage bushes have been replaced. New brake lines, fuel lines and oil return lines throughout, engine tinware, cam covers, cooling fan, oil cooler, oil tank and oil thermostat. The suspension components have been powder coated and all screws, piping, nuts, and bolts have been replaced throughout with factory parts. The interior hasn't missed out with many brand-new parts and materials including the headlining, RS Perlon carpets throughout, Prototipo Steering Wheel, red 3-point seat belts along with 6-point race harnesses, Recaro race seats, RS door-cards, Pioneer stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, and white dial faces. Included with the car are the manuals, a new factory service book, a replica period toolkit, a brand-new factory jack, plus two new keys.If, like most of us, an original 1973 2.7 RS is a tad outside the budget, this superb 'homage' must surely be the next best thing.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 'RS TRIBUTE'Year: 1984Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ91ZES102925Registration Number: A43 DUXTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 63E05342Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 1007 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
A beautiful German delivery, European-specification, Pagoda fresh from a 'last nut and bolt' restoration. UK-registered, running and driving without fault and ready for the next chapter.Launched in 1963 to replace the underpowered 190SL and utilising some of the new manufacturing techniques being adopted in the emerging S-Class, the Paul Bracq designed 230SL was proudly unveiled to an appreciative audience at the Geneva Motor Show. Remaining in production until 1971 with around 49,000 finding customers, the W113 Class, frequently referred to as the Pagoda, eventually spanned three engine sizes.The same show in 1967 coincidentally, saw the introduction of the W113-250SL. The new car retained the stiffer suspension and sporty feel of the earlier cars, but provided improved agility with its larger 2.5-litre engine and was now fitted with rear disc brakes and a larger tank. They were offered with a 4-speed Automatic transmission or a 4/5-speed ZF manual gearbox. Replaced by the 280SL in January 1968, its one-year production run makes the 250SL the rarest of the W113 Series.This spectacular 250SL was German supplied and remains in left-hand drive with its original hardtop. It has been subject to a painstaking restoration by M-B marque specialists over the last five years including D-Class, Multitech, SS Motors, Quickfit Safety Belts, SLS in Germany and the SL Shop. The work included a full glass-out respray, brand new leather interior, carpets, hood, engine, running gear and in excess of £36,000 was spent on retrimming, servicing and new parts. These new parts included brand new black Mercedes grained leather throughout including the dash, door cards, seats etc, brand new correct salt and pepper carpets throughout, brand new wood kit incl’ dash and surrounds, a new Mercedes Mohair hood, Mercedes-branded chrome seat-belts, new exhaust, headlights, Michelin Whitewall Tyres 185HR14 MXV, a new Becker Europa Vintage FM Radio with ’67 MB knobs and a Hirschmann Electric Chrome Wing Aerial.The engine rebuild included a reground crank with new mains and big ends, piston rings, rebuilt head with new valves, springs, guides and seats, recon oil pump, new timing chain, recondition fuel injection system and a new clutch and flywheel.At the time of photography, the odometer read 93,121 miles meaning that the car has only covered a handful of miles since the work was completed. The original documents held in the history file include its Service Book, and the stamped Mercedes-Benz Kundendienst alongside acres of invoices from the recent restoration in addition to a UK V5C. The fastidious attention to maintaining originality is clearly illustrated by the period-correct Becker Europa with 1967 MB-knobs, the Hirschmann aerial and proper Michelin tyres. This truly is a superb restoration and, resplendent in its gleaming new Signal Red paintwork, this is undoubtedly one of the finest examples of the rare 250SL on the market today.

The 'Moss Pagoda'. Sir Stirling's own 230SL built for him personally by the factory in 1966.The Mercedes-Benz 230 SL is considered a landmark model that founded a sports car dynasty that would prove an enormous commercial success for the marque. Introduced at the Geneva Salon in March 1963 as replacement for the 190 SL, the 230 SL abandoned its predecessor's four-cylinder engine in favour of a 2.3-litre fuel-injected six derived from that of the 220 SE and producing 150bhp. An instant classic, the body design was entirely new whilst, beneath the skin, the running gear was conventional Mercedes-Benz, featuring all-round independent suspension (by swing axles at the rear), disc front/drum rear brakes, and a choice of four-speed manual or automatic transmissions. Top speed was more than 193km/h. The 230 SL even managed a debut competition victory, as Sporting Motorist noted: "Performances of the Mercedes-Benz range in the competition field are legendary, and we think particularly of participation in the most rugged of rallies where the cars have proved their strength and stamina beyond doubt. Soon after the 230 SL was announced, Eugen Bohringer drove one to victory in the Spa-Sofia-Liège Rally, and although competition outings are rare, this was the sort of debut one would expect from the Stuttgart factory." Christened 'Pagoda' after their distinctive cabin shape - devised by French automotive designer and classic car enthusiast, Paul Bracq - these SL models were amongst the best-loved sports-tourers of their day and remain highly sought-after by collectors.The car’s abilities and good looks were not missed by a certain racing driver of the era, a young Stirling Moss, who had, by 1966, established himself as one of the greatest ever drivers to pilot a Mercedes-Benz. In 1954, Moss started to drive for Maserati in Formula 1, but in the same year he was signed by Mercedes-Benz racing manager Alfred Neubauer as a driver for the 1955 season. This was a pivotal moment in his Moss’ career, as he had become a member of what was then the most successful racing team in the world. 1955 was a formidable year for Moss and Mercedes-Benz, he and co-driver Denis Jenkinson won the 1955 Mille Miglia, with an average speed of 157.65 km/h. The two Brits therefore set a new record time for the ‘1,000 miles’, which still stands today, their time on this legendary road race has never been beaten and is never likely to be.The second great triumph for Moss in 1955 was his victory at the British Grand Prix on 16th July at Aintree in the Mercedes-Benz W196R. Moss was the first Brit to win this prestigious race and he led a quadruple victory for the ‘Silver Arrows’, followed by his team colleagues Juan Manuel Fangio, Karl Kling, and Piero Taruffi.In the Spring of 1966, Stirling was thinking about a new road car and the Pagoda was top of the list. According to the book ‘Mercedes W113: The Complete Story’, Moss had been so impressed with the W113 that he personally wrote a letter to his former race chief, Alfred Neubauer, saying: "In all the years I have been driving, I cannot remember ever driving a car that I would have liked to own more (except for racing cars!)"Again, from the same book, Moss was extremely keen to get hold of an early, more powerful 250 SL, but the factory had only begun producing LHD examples for the US-market. Supposedly, those with enough ‘clout’ could convince Mercedes-Benz to do a ‘special order’ of models not yet in wider production. Furthermore, Moss personally requested (and apparently insisted on) that his car should also come with another exclusive feature, this being that the car’s hardtop should have a distinctive opening roof vent; we understand this to be an unique feature, to honour Moss’ exacting wishes; the flap and hinges were specially engineered by Mercedes-Benz for this Pagoda to the same standard/spec as found on the 300 SL ‘Gullwing’ and this vent is believed to be unique on any Pagoda.Mercedes-Benz accommodated the wishes of their Grand Prix and Mille Miglia winner, choosing to give him the UK-spec car displayed at the 1966 Earls Court Motor Show, but specially fitted by the factory with the bigger M129 engine from the 250 SE (the 250 SL was introduced as a RHD model in early 1967) and the roof vent. Interestingly, the data-card for Moss’ Pagoda shows the rare reference ‘Code 992 - engine must be specially selected on the Dynotech for best maximum performance’ – very fitting for such a recipient!Loyal to the brand, and no doubt with a PR opportunity in mind, Moss and Mercedes-Benz arranged for the car’s collection from the factory, the moment captured in a famous historic photograph (see image attached), which was published with the caption “Former racing driver Stirling Moss, 36, being ‘flagged away’ by his old chief, Alfred Neubauer, 75, when he visited Stuttgart, Germany, to pick up his new Mercedes-Benz 230 SL sports car. In the passenger seat is Stirling's wife Elaine"Moss’ affection for his brand-new Pagoda was evident, as he assigned his very distinctive registration number, 'M7', to it (7 being his lucky number). Accompanying paperwork in the car’s history file confirms this, showing it was registered with Greater London Council, and benefiting from a service in Mayfair (where Moss lived) at 11,136 miles. Moss thoroughly enjoyed the car and can be seen in the driver’s seat of it captured in another period photograph (see image attached), we believe in attendance at Silverstone with his friend Rob Walker.Moss’ association with the ‘Pagoda’ model was also used in a commercial context, with him stood next to a similar LHD car (made to look like his actual car bearing the ‘M7’ registration number) in numerous advertisements for ‘J Wax’, with one using the strapline ‘Stirling Moss tells how to keep your car looking new – like his’The car presented here is Sir Stirling Moss’ 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL (W113) ‘Pagoda’, accompanied by a copy of its original factory special order form which is made out to ‘Stirling Moss of London, England’, a copy of its data-card, its original service booklet, handbooks, and historic registration documents – with numerous references to Moss being the first owner and confirming the car’s special features and fascinating provenance. Remarkably, the car also has a fully documented history of ownership, servicing, and mileage up to the present day - there are green logbooks, receipts, MOT Certificates, Bills of Sale and associated paperwork going right back to 1966!Following Moss’ ownership, in 1968, the car was bought by a Mr Mitchell, and wore the registration number ‘0017’. Again, the car’s history file documents servicing between 1968 and 1974 (14,336 - 49,700 miles), in Brentford, Chelmsford and Chingford. In November 1970, there is an invoice for the car being repainted in Jaguar Pearl Grey (the colour it still wears today).In October 1974, according to a purchase receipt, it was sold via Hurst Park Automobiles of Surrey to a Mr McBride (who part-exchanged his Ford Granada Estate as part of the deal). Mr McBride subsequently took the car to Northern Ireland and had the registration ‘BO13’ assigned to it. He routinely (between 1974 and 1976, and 49,700 - 72,728 miles) had it serviced Click here for more details and images
Purchased by Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees in 1979 and owned by the family until 2012.When Rolls-Royce launched the two-door version of the Silver Shadow in 1966, the international jet set began to clamour for attention at the dealerships. These hugely desirable motorcars began to change hands at significant premiums over list price and one can imagine the hushed negotiations over the green baize of the gaming tables at Crockfords and Aspinalls. The Drop Head Coupé that followed in 1967 was even more exclusive, and waiting lists ran for years. Rolls-Royce could not have predicted the Swinging Sixties, or those who profited from this new era, and demand for the convertible came from all strata of monied society, the most vocal of which were heard on the radio. It was practically a law that celebrity Rolls-Royce owners had to be pictured alongside their car, and the convertible Rolls was the most coveted of all.If given the choice whilst on holiday in France, most would prefer to visit a discothèque rather than a bibliothèque, and the launch of “disco” in 1970 was a revolution. For the first time, strangers could dance on a multi-coloured dancefloor to up-beat music with a heavy dose of sexy electric guitar, both parties strutting their stuff without, quite frankly, Edwardian values of decorum. If there was one band that defined this new era of disco it was the Bee Gees, providing not one but three headline tracks to the quintessential disco film of the 1970s, Saturday Night Fever. One song, Night Fever, is often played as the anthem of the decade. As one third of the Bee Gees, Maurice Gibb was one of the most successful and highly paid of the era, enabling him to indulge his passion for Rolls-Royce motor cars.By the late-1970s, demand for the Corniche Convertible, as now named, was even more ferociously high than the previous decade, and second hand cars were highly sought after, impatiently in demand by the super rich. These sums are often mythologised and exaggerated but the accompanying carbon copy Bill of Sale from 1979 confirms these eye watering prices. When Maurice Gibb walked into the H.R. Owen showroom at Melton Court in South Kensington on the 17th April 1979 and saw this 1973 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible in Masons Black with a St. James red leather interior showing 30,214 miles, he parted with the incredible sum of £35,000. Bearing in mind that this was a six-year old car with 30,000 miles, he paid over three times the car’s list price when new, or double the price of a contemporary Ferrari 308 with change left over for a brand new Ford Capri!Maurice Gibb’s love affair with the Rolls-Royce started in the 1960s, famously photographed with the band looking through the window of Jack Barclay’s Mayfair showroom in 1968, various period snaps show Mr Gibb impeccably tailored in white alongside a Cloud Convertible or astride the bonnet of his Silver Shadow. Perhaps it was either his affection for this Corniche or the desire to get his money’s worth that saw the car remain as part of his collection until his sudden passing on the 12th January 2003, with the car remaining in the family until 2012. Those familiar with celebrity cars may note that most cars only enjoy a few years of ownership until traded in against newer models, and a thirty-three year family connection is very rare. So beloved was this Corniche, that Mr Gibb was photographed arriving in the Corniche at a press junket in 2001, gallantly aiding his wife Yvonne out of the rear seat, copies of which are on file.The car was nicknamed 'Rosie' and the private registration '3829 MG' issued to the car in period, and is generously included in the sale, as are the monogrammed over-mats. The Corniche’s current V5C show a number of previous registered keepers, which included Mr Gibb personally, his company and family members. An accompanying declaration on file, signed by Mr Gibb’s brother-in-law and personal assistant of thirty-years is dated 23rd July 2012 and confirms the car’s history. This declaration states regular servicing and MOT records show that the car’s mileage in July 2012 was 48,013 miles. Under new ownership, the Corniche benefited from some £24,000 of maintenance and servicing by Royce Motor Services of Gloucester between 2012 and 2019.Purchased on the 8th June 2021 by our vendor from a leading Rolls-Royce specialist, a purchase he readily agrees was on impulse, the car joined his fleet of modern motorcars, many of which are current model Rolls-Royces, and as an international businessman with limited time for classic motoring, his Lamborghini Miura would take precedence over the rest of his Collection. With recent expenditure of £10,000 the Corniche is presented to auction with an upgraded interior, dark red mohair power hood, a mileage of some 52,919 miles at the time of cataloguing and a history file that includes not only the aforementioned carbon copy Bill of Sale and signed declaration, but a note from a chap who confirms he use to wash the car for Mr Gibb on a Saturday morning!Considered the most attractive version of the Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible, the chrome bumpered cars produced between 1971 and 1977 only number a total of 1,232 in both right and left-hand drive, with very few in Masons Black. Questionable colour combinations of the era have often split opinion but few would argue that this Corniche’s combination is a perfect blend of Seventies retro, sleek black and funky red.In conclusion, classic cars should be fun, enjoyed by drivers and passengers alike, and we defy anyone not to arrive at a destination with the roof down and a Bee Gees hit blaring, whether the high notes are accurately hit or not.SpecificationMake: ROLLS-ROYCEModel: CORNICHE CONVERTIBLEYear: 1973Chassis Number: DRH14555Registration Number: 9829 MGTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 14555Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 52919 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Red LeatherClick here for more details and images
Ordered and specified for the late Diana, Princess of Wales, her last Ford Escort, and offered with just 24,961 miles from a private collection.Whilst the Royal Mews provided a selection of Rolls-Royces and Daimlers, the late Diana, Princess of Wales far preferred to be at the wheel of her own car, albeit with a detective in the passenger seat, a member of The Royalty Protection Command SO14. Princess Diana was a city girl at heart and nipping to the shops or meeting girlfriends for lunch, at the wheel of her own car was perhaps seen as a welcome break away from the police outriders flanking an armoured Rolls-Royce, and the attention it drew.It's said that the Ford Escort 1.6i Cabriolet in Red, that was to be Princess Diana's second Escort, was deemed to be unsuitable by SO14, as the manual canvas roof offered little privacy in a hurry and zero protection. Encouraging the purchase of a stealthier car, Her Royal Highness was insistent on the new Escort Turbo RS, and the Ford PR department suggested making a black RS Turbo the first example of the then current range of all-white cars on sale. The car is believed to be unique as the first and only black RS Turbo Series 1. The Special Vehicle Engineering department was tasked to paint the car and fitted a regular five-slat front grille to assist in the stealth makeover and a secondary rear view mirror for the protection officer with a radio in the glove box, the cable for which is still visible today. Registered on the 23rd August 1985, this RS Turbo Series 1 and its famous driver were to be extensively photographed outside the boutiques of Chelsea and the restaurants of Kensington over the next few years. One press photo shows the future King, HRH Prince William, sat in the back with his mother smiling at the wheel.It is unknown why this was to be the Princess' last Escort as the RS Turbo RS Series 2 was launched shortly afterwards and the model was clearly held in high regard by the Princess. Perhaps parallels could be drawn with the RS Turbo's reputation as the People's Sports Car and the honorific of People's Princess bestowed by the British public on Princess Diana. The RS Turbo was never intended to be driven by the future Queen and was inconceivable as transport for the future King William, it remains the most daring choice of class-dividing motor car by any member of the Royal Family since.Following the car’s return to the Ford Motor Company in May 1988 with some 6,800 miles on the odometer, it was sold internally to Geoff King, the manager of the company’s Government Sales department, for his wife's use. The car was later used as part of a promotional giveaway by Kiss FM in September 1993, and won by a Miss Jones of Essex with a then odometer reading of some 12,000 miles. In 2008, the car caught the eye of the custodian of one of the best Ford RS collections in the country who purchased it from the appropriately named Mr Windsor, who had owned the car since 1st November 1994. Today the car’s low mileage of just 24,961 is naturally matched by its exceptional condition and detailed history file.The car's history file has been meticulously archived and copy internal memos from the Ford Motor Company confirms the re-plating of the registration number, as is common with ex-Royal cars, when it was returned to Ford in May 1988. Further documentation from the DVLA show the successful re-registration of the car back to C462 FHK in later years. The file contains dozens of MOTs confirming the mileage and the car has a Lifetime Tracker fitted which can be transferred to the new owner, plus a spare key, RS Owners Club documentation, maintenance receipts, aforementioned Ford Motor Company internal memos, newspaper clippings, glossy photographs of Princess Diana using the car and period registration documents.Notwithstanding its very special provenance, this Escort RS Turbo Series 1 is an outstanding example in its own right, subject to nut and bolt detailing to a Concours standard. Of serious consideration for so many reasons, we welcome any inspection of the car and its history file.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: ESCORT RS TURBO S1Year: 1985Chassis Number: WF0BXXGCABFA81486 Registration Number: C462 FHKTransmission: ManualEngine Number: FA81486 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 24961 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
#68/100, this meticulously restored example is surely the finest JPS to come to market in recent years.Technically called the World Championship Commemorative Model, but more colloquially known as the John Player Special, this was the first and arguably the most memorable limited edition Esprit from Lotus. Dubbed the JPS due to its distinctive black and gold livery, inspired by the ground effect, JPS-sponsored, championship-winning Lotus 79 cars of the period, as raced by Mario Andretti and Ronnie Petersen. Originally planned to build 200 examples, it was believed that just 185 were produced, 100 for the UK, 55 for the United States and 30 for Europe. The eye-catching specification included gold-coloured side-stripes complete with World Champion lettering, gold-coloured front and rear windscreen surrounds and alloy wheels, gold-effect corduroy seat inserts and a three-spoke leather rimmed steering wheel instead of the normal plastic offering. The 'Juke Box' installed was a Hitachi Digi-One radio-cassette. The 1973cc, 16-valve DOHC engine delivered a feisty 160bhp which was sufficient to sprint the 1,980lb glass fibre-bodied, two-seater to 60mph in 6.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 124 mph. The short production run lasted from December 1978 to July 1979.This immaculate example is Number 68, however, as we understand and know Lotus from that period, it is unknown what number it was in the production line. Our vendor confessed to getting somewhat carried away with the restoration, and as part of the process, #68 had a full body-off, glass-out restoration, including a respray and new stickers to ensure no stone was unturned and the car would be as good as new, if not better, which we feel he’s achieved by some distance. A number of top specialists have been involved in the car's transformation and the results are very impressive with a fabulous level of finish yet maintaining the character of the car, which is no easy feat!The restoration catalogue is fantastic, featuring new aluminium fuel tanks, brake line hoses, new aluminium radiator, new coolant hoses, Wilwood front callipers and disks (originals to go with the car) and new suspension and bushes all round. The engine was overhauled including new liners, crank reground and new pistons circa 2000 miles ago and a stainless-steel exhaust system including 4 into 1 manifold fitted to help it sing. The list goes on, making for pleasant reading and an even more pleasant driving experience.The history file is nicely detailed and contains dozens of old invoices and MOTs. Superbly presented and indicating only 72,746 miles, this is an exceptionally high-quality example that would cost a small fortune to replicate. With the combination of comfortable mileage and the quality of restoration, this very special Lotus would sit equally as perfectly in the hands of a collector as it would in the hands of an enthusiast wanting to get out and drive it.With Lotus cars of the future destined to have electric hearts, there cannot be a better time to pick up the old-school and experience the cars that made the David and Goliath brand from Norwich withstand the test of time with such flying colours.SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ESPRIT S2 JPSYear: 1979Chassis Number: 79020661GRegistration Number: TOI 9585Transmission: ManualEngine Number: CC907790216073 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 72746 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black and CreamClick here for more details and images
The car that literally drove Margaret Thatcher to power.Manufactured on 24th March 1973, this particular Rover was to play an important role in UK political history, transporting newly-elected, the now late Margaret Thatcher, the UK’s first female Prime Minister, from Conservative Headquarters to Buckingham Place on 4th May 1979 where she accepted Queen Elizabeth II’s invitation to form a new administration. Converted by Hoopers, shortly after rolling off the production line, to Government specification, GYE 329N was to be one of three such examples used for ministerial duties, finished in Ebony Black with a Saddle Tan hide interior.Retired shortly after taking its place on the political stage, the Rover moved into private ownership in 1980 with a recorded mileage at the time of circa 76,000, with approximately 17,000 miles recorded since then. It remains in exceptional condition throughout to this very day. More recently, the paintwork has been refreshed and the engine and gearbox rebuilt, however, and most importantly, the original ’conservative’ interior remains.With a large history file and unquestionable provenance, so much so that it has just been featured in the September issue of Classic & Sportscar Magazine, this venerable Rover P5 is an attractive classic saloon in its own right, however, if we accept that Margaret Thatcher played a hugely significant role in the late 20th century history of the UK and that the Iron Lady's first ever trip as our Prime Minister was in the back seat of GYE 329N, then it does add a certain cachet.Period news reel showing arrival at Buckingham Palace - 6 minutes approx. onwardshttps://youtu.be/B_ArrUijEQ SpecificationMake: ROVERModel: P5Year: 1973Chassis Number: 84019971CRegistration Number: GYE 329NTransmission: AutoEngine Number: 84100688DDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 93000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Saddle Tan HideClick here for more details and images
TWR's 1980s range of aftermarket performance updates for the XJ-S included a 6.0-litre V12 engine and a manual gearbox but only one XJ-SC Cabriolet was fitted with both. It's fast, responsive, unique and it's here.According to our vendor, the Jaguar was purchased by its first owner in 1986 and by him in 2018. He notes "I believe from the research that I have undertaken and the history file, that this is the only TWR XJ-SC 6.0-litre manual in existence". It was originally owned by a Mr Turner as a company car and then transferred into Mr. Turner’s private ownership so effectively, our vendor is only the car's second owner.One thing this rare Jaguar is not short of is documentation and from the Jaguar Heritage Certificate we can see that the car was dispatched to Hatfields Jaguar, Sheffield on 17/12/85. Also in the file is the original vehicle invoice dated 9/1/86 for £27,568.00, a receipt from TWR Kidlington dated 12/2/86 and a TWR Enhancement Invoice dated 9/5/86 for £23,554.00. The list of enhancements include TWR wheels, Suspension kit, Brake kit, Engine Efficiency kit, Manual box (5-speed), 6-litre engine, Bright parts colour coding, Security wheel nuts, PAS valve and a rear seat conversion. C800 KWB did not receive the rear spoiler and side skirts which really makes this vehicle rather more subtle. Total cost for the car in 1986 was £51,122.00 which was a vast amount of money at the time, more than a new Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Convertible!There is a hand-written note in the file, following a conversation with Mr. Turner and a Chris Baker of TWR, stating that only 25 manual box, 6.0-litre XJS were produced. C800 KWB is the only Cabriolet and apparently had the highest engine output of all 6-litre conversions at 331bhp.From our vendor; "I purchased the car because of the TWR involvement, a love of motorsport and the rarity of C800 KWB. It drives and corners well, drives low to the ground and the sound of the TWR-enhanced engine compared to a standard XJS is something else. Paul Walton described the drive as engaging, with the car exiting corners with the urgency of a stabbed rat. Paul mentioned it had been several years since he has been able to drive an XJS in such an aggressive manner, the last time being an ETCC Touring Car at Goodwood! He said compared to that dark, cramped and claustrophobic experience, C800 KWB with the roof panels stowed is refined, open and as airy as any convertible Jaguar."Summary List of documents in C800 KWB’s extensive history file includes:Original first registration documents, Jaguar invoices for vehicle (Jaguar New Vehicle Order Form) and TWR enhancements, Jaguar and TWR original sales brochures from 1986, TWR Jaguar Racing brochures, car stickers and other information, original V5C, full service history and MOTs, List of all 39 6.0-litre engines – C800 KWB was number 6 and produced before the demonstrator according to record - Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, Copy of Motor Magazine containing review of TWR XJS and sundry items that came with the car.The article attached in the listing is kindly reproduced courtesy of Jaguar World, August 2021 issue. http://ourmagazines.co.uk/RqOOv SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: TWR XJSCYear: 1986Chassis Number: SAJJNACW3CC128246Registration Number: C800 KWBTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 60895 MilesClick here for more details and images

A very early road-going competition car, with extensive spares package. This venerable road/race S2 vacated the Cheshunt factory in March 1962 and was delivered to its first owner, a Mr A G Shepherd of Ilford, Essex four months later. Our vendor informs us that ‘559 UYM’ has contested and been very competitive in the HSCC’s popular Historic Roadsports series for no less than 15 years, and for the first three seasons of his tenure (2017-2019), it competed without fault during numerous visits to a variety of circuits including Silverstone, Croft, Snetterton, Oulton Park, Anglesey and Spa. Following that spell of hard graft it was treated to an engine and gearbox refresh in preparation for the 2020 season. However, that year of competition was of course lost to COVID 19 and, though the little Lotus has not ventured onto road or track since, it remains ‘good to go’.It is powered by a pre-crossflow Ford engine coupled to a five-speed manual gearbox. The alloy-panelled bodywork is complemented by green fibreglass rear wings and a yellow nosecone, while the car comes with the choice of alloy and fibreglass front wings. The functional driver’s office is trimmed in red and features a fibreglass bucket seat, Momo steering wheel and a pair of Aeroscreens. The Minilite-style alloy wheels are shod with Toyo Proxes tyres, and among the host of additional equipment accompanying the Lotus are: another set of tyres, windscreen, wipers, a full complement of weather gear, long range fuel tank and car cover. The on board safety equipment includes a substantial roll-over bar, Willans harness and plumbed-in fire system. The car will have its windscreen and full front wings back on giving it more of a road car look whilst it's racing pedigree is undoubted. It will also receive a full refresh service, mechanical oils etc ensuring it is fully Day 1 track/road ready.Familiar to the Historic Lotus Register, ‘559 UYM’ is being offered complete with a Lotus Vehicle Provenance Certificate and extensive history.Available by separate negotiation, the vendor also has a purpose-built Ifor Williams enclosed trailer for the Lotus Seven.The trailer has a galvanised chassis with polished aluminium body, and includes internal winch and tyre rack. This is not included in the sale of the Lotus, but can be discussed after the sale if desired.
