2010 Bentley Continental GT Supersports Transmission: automaticMileage:22000Unveiled in 2003 at the Geneva Motor Show, the Continental GT was a different animal. The Crewe-built cars numbers were impressive with the twin-turbo, VAG 6.0 litre W12 engines, developed in the VW Phaeton and stillborn W12 sports car, producing 552bhp and 479lb ft torque. This prodigious output was fed through a six-speed automatic box from the new A8 and distributed by the Quattro four-wheel drive system. 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 196mph were significant for a car of this stature. Some six years later, also in Geneva, Bentley unveiled their new 621bhp Continental Supersports which was indecently quick with 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 204 mph, making it the fastest and the most powerful production Bentley ever. With a revised 'Tiptronic' automatic gearbox employing a 'quick-shift' system, gear change times were reduced by 50%. In order to cope with the increased power, it was necessary to have carbon fibre reinforced silicon carbide ceramic disc brakes - the largest and most powerful brakes ever fitted to a production car.As the Supersports evolved Bentley managed to accidentally create a very limited-edition car, the two seat examples were not selling as hoped because at the time most of the Bentley ownership comprised a demographic of drivers who wanted four seats and a softer ride. Enter the SuperSport 'comfort seat' option, a four-seat option that still gave performance, clearly not that of the two-seater but it gave a very clean way for Bentley to exit what appeared to be a fabulous car but not for their then customer demographic, thus leaving those with the full two-seat example with a low production car and now highly desirable.This stunning low mileage Bentley Continental Supersports is a 2010, UK supplied, right hand drive example finished in metallic Onyx Black with Beluga and Newmarket tan leather trim. Presented with a pair of heated, two-piece, carbon fibre sports seats and Breitling analogue clock sitting above the £5,000 uprated NAIM premium satellite navigation by Bentley Bristol. Upgrades by Bentley have not stopped there, originally a Bentley Pangbourne demonstrator car, as many options as possible were specified including a Bentley warrantied and fitted Acropovic exhaust system which was circa £7,000 alone and added between 7-12bhp along with an uprated leather steering wheel. Where rear passengers would normally reside, a carbon fibre cross-brace spans the cabin, generating torsional rigidity, showing the real intent of the 'Supersports', this is a rarity now as many cars were converted by Bentley to four seat cars to help sales. Sitting on 20 alloy wheels, the car is fitted with carbon-ceramic brakes, adjustable suspension and a host of other options making it, effectively, a very luxurious 'Group A Touring Car' for the road with incredible power.Boasting an all-Bentley main dealer history, the latest the larger of the scheduled. Supplied with its driver's manuals, service book, a UK V5C registration document,this fantastically quick car would put a smile on any driver's face. We welcome any inspection of this amazing, showroom condition, Bentley with the W12 cherished plate included in the sale. The car was MOT'd in late 2023 and was serviced in February 2024.Consigned by James Good.

2006 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti €œFrom the Cheesbrough Collection€œ Transmission: automaticMileage:28152The Scaglietti 2+2 Coupé was penned by Frank Stephenson under Ken Okuyama at Pininfarina, and it is said that design, especially the strident side scallops and headlights, were a nod to the coachbuilt 1954 375 MM that film director, Roberto Rossellini, had commissioned for his wife Ingrid Bergan. The newcomer replaced the outgoing 456 but, being physically larger, was a genuine four-seat Grand Tourer. It was Ferrari's second all-aluminium vehicle and comprised of a spaceframe manufactured in conjunction with Alcoa, that was a combination of extrusions and castings to which the body was then welded. The same chassis formed the basis of Ferrari's 599 GTB flagship Grand Tourer. The front, mid-mounted, V12 powerplant was shared with the 575 Superamerica and was not six litres as the name suggests but 5.7, though big enough for a healthy power output of 533bhp and equally impressive performance figures, including a 0-62mph time of 4.2 seconds and a top speed north of the magic 200mph. A total of just 3,025 examples were manufactured between 2004 and 2011, all but 199 of which featured the F1A gearbox.This superb low mileage example is presented in Nero Daytona with black leather interior and comes with its original Ferrari leather wallet with all the manuals, including its service book which has all the servicing stamps from new to 2022 by HR Owen and Autofficina. Included in the history file are various invoices showing expenditure over the last few years and it has a current MoT test certificate which expires in September 2024. The condition of this fabulous Ferrari is exemplary with no visible signs of stone chips or scratches upon inspection. Offered with no reserve, this is a great opportunity to join the upper echelon of sports car owners worldwide. Consigned by James Good.

1985 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:94547The Mercedes-Benz was manufactured from 1954 and the designation SL derives from the German 'Sport Leicht' or 'Sport Light' and was first applied to the 300 SL 'Gullwing' named after the upward-opening doors. The term SL-Class refers to the marketing variations of the vehicle, including the numerous engine configurations spanning five design generations. The Mercedes-Benz R107 and C107 automobiles were produced from 1971 through to 1989, being the second longest single series ever produced by Mercedes-Benz, after the G-Class. The R107 took the chassis components of the mid-size W114 model and mated them to the larger engines from the S-Class (W116). The SL variant was a two-seat convertible/roadster with standard soft top, hardtop and optional foldable seats for the rear bench. Volume production of the first R107 car, the 350 SL, started in April 1971 alongside the last of the W113 cars.Originally registered on 1st June 1985 this delightful R107 Mercedes-Benz is the larger 4973cc engine model. Finished in Cabernet Red with grey leather interior, this example has the rear seat fitted, as well as a hardtop. Having been in long term ownership for a number of years, this 500 SL comes with a good history folder. Presenting in good order throughout, this Mercedes-Benz drives well with no known faults. The 5.0 litre engine offers brisk performance and a very smooth ride. Supplied with a V5C registration document these Mercedes-Benz 500 SL's have to be well cared for and this one certainly has been.

2008 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1 by Pininfarina Transmission: paddleMileage:37600The lineage of Ferrari's most elegant 599 model, launched back in 2006, is practically regal if you trace its basic design to the 1960s and a heritage of beautifully-penned, front-engined, GT cars such as the legendary 250 SWB and its sister car, the Lusso. Fast dramatic machines with impossibly long bonnets followed chronologically then by the 275GTB Daytona and, more recently, the 550 and 575M. Such theatre, such art.It is little surprise then that the owners of these dynamic and vital examples approach their custodianship with a passion that is often overwhelming but always worthwhile and vital towards to the history of the marque.This car is presented in 'as-new' condition kept, as it is, in de-humidified car storage as part of an important private collection. Supplied by the factory in metallic black paintwork, professionally paint corrected with professional detailers and never driven in the rain.Back in 2022, it was the subject of a minor incident resulting in some quarter panel damage. The car was returned to Ferrari where full repairs took place and, needless to say, this was recorded with HPI as a matter of course although since then, all repairs have been double-checked by Autolign, professional detail assessors, and signed off as original and correct.Fully serviced by Ferrari throughout its entire life with its most recent service undertaken through Ferrari's new Power15 warranty, a new extended package which applies to vehicles between the expiration of the new vehicle limited warranty and fifteen years from the original date of sale, this took place in July of 2023 and included four new P-Zero tyres fitted to 20€ OEM Monolithic alloy wheels and new Scuderia shields as well as a brand-new Ferrari radiator costing in excess of £8,000. There are seven months left to run on the MoT test certificate. Braking comes through giallo fly carbon/ceramic brakes and, in fact, it's worth noting that this example has only ever been touched by Ferrari main agents since birth.The interior includes tan carbon Daytona sports leather seats with the extended carbon/leather pack with carbon steering wheel, LED rev. counter display, a leather headliner and back parcel shelf with straps as well as original Ferrari Becker radio/Satnav. All books are included, the keys are still in their leather pouch, the jack remains unopened and the tools are still new and safely ensconced in their leather pouch. Even the air-pump and charger still remain in place. Take your place in the driver's seat of one of Ferrari's rare front-engined, V12s amongst Maranello's other great designs, one of very few to ever to roll out from under that fabled red archway. 23/10/09 STRATSTONE FERRARI5,13129/10/10 GRAYPAUL FERRARI11,02425/7/12 LANCASTER FERRARI16,5088/3/13 JOE MACARI FERRARI17,98325/3/14 STRATSTONE FERRARI19,37017/5/16 LANCASTER FERRARI27,4007/7/17 GRAYPAUL FERRARI29,16521/8/18 GRAYPAUL FERRARI29,86521/9/20 DICK LOVETT FERRARI30,50331/8/21 DICK LOVETT FERRARI35,84025/7/23HR OWEN HATFIELD37,405Recently professionally detailed including ceramic coat protection system as detailed on YouTube by Birklean Detailing.Consigned by EJ Bridger-Stille

1953 Austin A40 Sport Transmission: manualMileage:The Austin A40 Sports debuted at the 1949 London Motor Show at Earls Court as a four-passenger, aluminium-bodied convertible variant of the Austin A40 carrying an Austin of England nameplate, bearing Austin's Flying A hood ornament, and designed and manufactured in conjunction with Jensen Motors. Production of the A40 Sports, which was intended as a sporty touring car rather than a true sports car began in November 1950 for model year 1951. By the time production ended in 1953, just over 4,000 had been manufactured.This lovely example was first registered on 11th of May 1953, some 70 years ago. Presented in white with a black hood, contrasting red trim with white piping, this 1200cc sports convertible presents very well and is a great running example of 50's sports touring. 1953 was the final production year for the A40 Sport and our vendor has cherished the four-seat convertible and expressed it puts a smile not only on his face when driving but on that of people that he sees. The aluminium body makes this a surprisingly sprightly example which is a great summer classic and offers that iconic 50's style. Consignor Mathew Priddy

2002 BMW 330Ci M Sport Convertible Transmission: automaticMileage:36500The E46 is the fourth generation of the 3 Series compact cars and was produced by BMW from 1998 when it succeeded the E36. The E46 was released to worldwide markets, initially in the saloon body style. In 1999, a coupé and touring body style became available with a convertible and hatchback body style option from 2000. The E46 experienced enormous success in all markets and was widely considered the performance benchmark of its class; the record selling year for the E46 model was 2002 with a staggering 561,249 vehicles sold worldwide.This lovely UK supplied example is presented in Orient Blue with grey Montana leather interior.

This is a genuine mileage BMW with all MoT's to support this and service history from Chelsea BMW, Holland Park BMW and more recently sportscar specialists Loftus and Autofficina. With such low mileage and coming with the rare addition of its factory hardtop, this is certainly one for the collection. These are great fun to drive, particularly with the larger three litre engine giving smooth performance. This BMW is also ULEZ compliant. Consigned by James Good
Lot 223
1936 MG PB Transmission: manualMileage:13872The MG P-type is a sports car that was produced from 1934 to 1936. This two-door sports car used an updated version of the Wolseley Motors-design and made overhead camshaft crossflow engine, previously fitted in the J-type Midget of 1932 to 1934, driving the rear wheels through a four-speed non-synchromesh gearbox.The PB produced from 1935 had a bigger 939 cc engine made by enlarging the bore from 57 to 60 mm and this increased the output to 43 bhp. Externally the versions are very similar, the main difference being the radiator grille, where the PA has a honeycomb and the PB has vertical slats. The other obvious difference is in the design and material of the standard dashboard. Just 526 examples of the PB were produced and in 1936 a supercharged MG PB driven by Andrew Hutchinson won the Limerick Grand Prix.First registered on 6th of February 1936 this PB is one of just 99 four-seat tourers manufactured by MG. The present owner purchased the car some nine years ago in 2014 and imported the vehicle back to the UK from Denmark, where it was exhibited in the Egeskov Classic Museum for over 12 years.Listed on the Triple M register €“ PB0631 /MMM867, since 2014 this example has been used regularly on regularity rallies (10) and charity tours (3) in the UK and Europe. Competitive results include three class wins in the RAC 1000 Mile Trial in 2015, 2016 and 2018 and overall winner of the Historic Endurance Rally Association (HERO) Summer Trial in 2019.In the last nine years over £40,000 has been spent on servicing and upgrades, much of this with pre-war MG specialist Andy King. Work done includes servicing and annual MoT's since 2017, and cylinder head and engine rebuilds including fitment of a Marshall type supercharger and a water pump, both options in 1936. Other additions include a mohair tonneau cover and hood, plus side screens, and running boards. An electric fan was fitted with conversion to waterless coolant. Additional work included a new clutch, an electric master switch and prop shaft fitment of Brantz sensor.The history file includes invoices and MoT records from 2014, a current V5 and history from 1972 to 1984 including details of the restoration/rebuild completed in 1977 by a recent secretary of the Triple-M Register.Offered with the MG Workshop Manual (M Type), an original MG Owner Instruction Manual (P and PB Series), and miscellaneous spares including starting handle, contactless petrol pump, 16-inch steering wheel, original fitment twin carburetors and inlet manifold, supercharger belts, ignition components and two aero screens (un-used).This is a rare, usable, and well-maintained example of the PB with a clear indication of the competitive nature of the car borne out by its results over the past decade.

1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:108800Mercedes-Benz revived one of its most famous model designations of all time when it introduced the new 300 SL in 1985. However, on this occasion the newcomer was not a thinly disguised sports racer but the latest in a noble line of six-cylinder luxury Gran Turismos stretching back to the 230 SL of 1963 which was distinguished by its distinctive optional hardtop that earned the model its nickname 'Pagoda top'. When the Type 113 finally finished with the 280 SL in 1971, it was replaced by the V8 engined Type 107, there would not be a six-cylinder model in the range for a further nine years, this changed in 1980 with the launch of the new 280 SL. This used the same twin overhead camshaft engine as the other '280' models which gave 185bhp and a top speed of 127mph. When the 300 SL took over in 1985, it came with a single camshaft engine that produced a mere three horsepower more at the top end, the main gains over the superseded engine being a useful increase in torque and a marked reduction in fuel consumption.This lovely, UK supplied 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL is presented in exceptional all-round condition, having been meticulously cared for and dry stored in a private collection for the past seven years and has only incurred minimal mileage. The paintwork finished in Champagne Gold with a matching hardtop is in very good condition throughout. The box pleated seats with eared headrests in supply perforated brown leather and is fitted with the optional rear seat in matching leather. The car has been fully maintained shown by the stamped service book with 23 stamps. Fully recommissioned in less than 1000 miles ago including the brakes fully serviced and reconditioned with new front callipers and new brake fluid. Fitted with 'Gullideckel' alloy wheels, this lovely 300 SL is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in May 2024, the owners' manual, fully stamped service book, a file containing the servicing invoices, two sets of keys and a updated Blaupunkt Memphis audio unit with Bluetooth connectivity. The timeless lines and design of the R107 SL series still looks elegant and contemporary, with this car's exceptional condition it is one to consider if looking for a very usable classic for the summer.

1934 Chrysler Plymouth Deluxe Convertible Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:86718The 1934 Chrysler Plymouth Deluxe Convertible stands as a timeless icon of automotive elegance and innovation. Boasting sleek, art deco-inspired lines, these cars exude a sense of sophistication which defined an era. The convertible top, a marvel of engineering for its time, added an element of versatility and open-air freedom to the driving experience. Beneath the stylish exterior, the Plymouth Deluxe featured a robust 3.3-litre flathead inline six-cylinder engine, delivering an excellent balance of power and efficiency. Its comfortable interior, adorned with luxurious materials, showcased Chrysler's commitment to craftsmanship. The 1934 model marked a pivotal year in automotive design, as manufacturers embraced aerodynamics and streamlined aesthetics. The Chrysler Plymouth Deluxe Convertible remains a cherished relic of automotive history, celebrated for its blend of performance, style, and the spirit of a bygone era.This example presents in excellent condition, understood to be an older 1980's restoration, which has stood up to the test of time well. The car was first registered in the UK to a Mrs. Meadows in 1938, who would retain ownership of the car right through the war years until 1957. Mrs. Meadows is believed to have travelled to Norwalk, Connecticut by Steamship in 1938 to purchase this car, so it was evidently in enthusiast ownership since its very early years. Our vendor purchased the car in 2016 and has enjoyed it ever since, reporting it is a joy to drive and the rear rumble seat is always popular with his grandchildren. The car is supplied with a current V5C registration document, older buff logbooks, period owner's manuals and brochure and a handful of invoices. Presenting in a very attractive colour scheme of a light eggshell grey with red interior, this would make an excellent addition to any collection and you'd be very unlikely to bump into another one. Consignor Fraser Smith.

1985 Carbodies Taxi Transmission: automaticMileage:13536The London Taxi Company was a taxi design and manufacturing company based in Coventry, England. It formerly traded as London Taxis International and Carbodies. Over 130,000 London black cabs have been produced at the London Taxi Company's Coventry site over the past 60 years. Annual production averaged between 2,000 and 2,500 units per year. Around two-thirds of production went into London via a dealership in Islington. First registered on 20th August 1985 this taxi was ordered and coachbuilt from new for the late Lord Edwin McAlpine of Moffat. We are informed by Judy, Lady McAlpine that all the company Partners had a Carbodies Taxi at the time, each with added luxury such as velour seating, rear entertainment system and in this instance a cocktail cabinet. Presented in a metallic (McAlpine) green with complimentary velour trim, this will comfortably seat six with two jump seats in the rear and one to the passenger seat. Offered by Lady McAlpine, this example has been on static display with occasional use since 2006: it went to the Fat Duck in 2016 and to various vintage festivals run by Lady McAlpine and although running and driving, may need some further recommissioning should you wish to use on the road. Practicality and provenance, this is an iconic slice of History. Consignor Mathew Priddy Guide Price £6,000-£10,000 *Interested parties should note this lot requires recommissioning, we believe old fuel has been pulled through and thus although we have had the Taxi running it will require some mechanical attention and trailering away by the successful bidder.
Lot 185
1988 MG Metro Transmission: manualMileage:19279The MG Metro was introduced in May 1982 some 18 months after the closure of the MG factory at Abingdon. MG's first attempt at the then new 'hot hatch' era, it was the perception of many manufacturers that most car buyers were concerned, open top two seat sports cars were something from the past. The MG Metro boasted some quite positive features for the day including the standard use of powerful servo assisted brakes using four-pot calipers up front, very competitive performance and superb economy courtesy of the responsive and well proven A+ series engine. With around 120,000 made between 1982 and 1990, most are of the facelift variant launched in October 1984 where the bonnet line was lowered and streamlined, and a new interior and dash moulding was introduced.This lovely, rust free 1988 MG Metro is completely original and is believed to have covered less than 20,000 miles from new, this would seem to be correct by its lovely condition and the MoT history going back to 2006. Finished in black with the original side decals and grey cloth seats it has the correct red carpets and seat belts. This MG Metro is supplied with a V5 registration document and an MoT test certificate which expires in February 2025. This is an iconic car which is being offered at no reserve. Price guide £6,000-£9,000. Consignor John Tomlin.

1988 Porsche 944 Turbo SE Transmission: manualMileage:91684The Porsche 944 was built from 1982 to 1991 and was built on the same platform as the 924. It was intended to last into the 1990's but major revisions planned for a 944 S3 model were eventually rolled into the 968 instead which replaced the 944. In 1988, Porsche introduced the 944 Turbo S with a more powerful engine 250bhp 258 lb‹…ft of torque at 4,000rpm. This higher output was achieved by using a larger KKK K26-8 turbocharger housing and revised engine mapping which allowed maintaining maximum boost until 5800rpm, top speed was factory rated at 162mph. The post 1985 cars, turbos and S variants are considered more desirable than the earlier cars, having improved interiors, suspensions and engines, together with a limited slip differential and larger brakes.The example we have here is believed to be one of only 70 UK supplied Turbo SE derivatives and is believed to possibly be unique in its specification of Guard Red with Beige Porsche script interior and no sunroof. The Turbo SE is equipped with 'M030' sports suspension, uprated brakes and 'M220' limited slip differential, meaning it is truly built for the drivers and offers far better handling than a regular Turbo. The car has had ludicrous amounts of money spent on it in recent years, the previous owner spent £19,841 at Porsche Hatfield in July 2021! The work undertaken was quite clearly very extensive and amounts to 10 pages of invoices, including a brand new steering rack, new brakes, new exhaust muffler and many more Porsche parts, the final total would suggest they were told to go right through the car and make sure it was 'spot on'. The engine had a rebuild in 2017 due to some damage found on the cylinder head due to a head gasket failure, which resulted in the decision to carry out a rebuild which totalled £11,600! Less than 10,000 miles have been covered since.Our vendor is the MD of a very highly regarded bodyshop and he had his team strip the car right down and carry out a full respray to a very high standard, as his intention was to keep the car for a long period of time, but circumstances have since changed. As a result, the car now presents in excellent order throughout and the exterior is very hard to fault, the work carried out totalled circa £15,000. The interior is likely all original and is in excellent shape, with some minor wear to the drivers seat base bolster, but nothing which would cause too much stress. The car was recorded as a Category C in 1998, when values would have been particularly low. The vendor said that during the strip down and re-paint, they found that a repair had previously been made to the rear left corner of the car, which looked to have been carried out to a high standard in the first place. The team made sure the car was all straight and correct and with all of the money that has been lavished upon this car in recent years, it's distant past becomes largely forgotten and the car is now one which can be used and enjoyed safe in the knowledge that almost every area has been attended to in the not so distant past. Supplied with a V5C registration document, MoT test certificate and a comprehensive history folder, this exceedingly rare Porsche is offered with no reserve and should not be missed. Consignor Fraser SmithGuide: £15,000-£20,000

1983 Maserati Merak SS Transmission: manualMileage:51000The Maserati Merak was introduced in 1972, essentially a lighter version of the Maserati Bora. It substituted an all-new Maserati designed quad-cam, three litre, V6 motor for the Bora's larger V8; resulting not only in a lower cost but with room for a small back seat and better handling due to lower weight and a better front/rear weight distribution. Aesthetically, the Merak differed from the otherwise very similar Bora; mainly in sporting open flying buttresses instead of the Bora's fully glassed rear, the mid-engine Merak used the Bora bodyshell but the extra space offered by the smaller engine was used to carve out a second row of seats suitable for children. As with the Bora, certain Citroën hydraulic systems were used such as the brakes, clutch, and headlight pods.This superb example of this sought after Italian sports car is presented in Celeste Chiaro with blue leather interior. This was one of the very last chassis numbers built and was registered in August 1983. It was specially ordered from new with metallic paint, black carpets, black leather centre console, electric windows, air conditioning, Campagnolo wheels and Dynatrol rust treatment. The present owner purchased the car in 2004 and has had it stored in a dehumidified storage facility as part of his significant Italian car collection, using the car regularly. It's history which goes back as far as 1987 including invoices with work carried out by Emblem Sports Cars and Bill McGrath who fully recommissioned the car when the current owner purchased it. The history file also contains full Maserati Classiche documents, original 'End of Line' data sheet, road test document and delivery note to Modena Concessionaires Ltd in the UK. This Maserati has just had a recent minor service, checkover and MoT which was carried out in February 2024. This car is featured in Maserati €“ the Citroën Years by Marc Sonnery (copy included) and the car comes with a fitted indoor car cover. Consigned by James Good.

2003 Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 Transmission: manualMileage:54566At start of the 1990s, after the introduction of their two-seat, grand-tourer R129 SL and the Mazda MX-5, Mercedes-Benz set out to create a new compact roadster, slotted below the SL. By late 1991, under Bruno Sacco, the first design sketches were drawn up and scale models were 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 which 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.First registered on the 8th May 2003, this wonderful Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 unusually boasts a rare manual gearbox and even has parking sensors. Furthermore, the car has only covered 54,566 miles in its 20 year life. Presented in the attractive Magma red paintwork, it boasts nine service stamps in its accompanying official Mercedes-Benz service booklet, with the last being carried out only a couple of months ago. All the original booklets are supplied with the car along with the service booklet contained in their original booklet case. Reported to run and drive very well and still used regularly, this wonderful little car is only for sale due to a lack of space and is ready for its next owner to enjoy.Supplied with a V5C registration document, a MoT test certificate valid through July 2024, receipts and original stamped service book and handbook. A fun future classic in a rare specification makes this little Mercedes a car to be snapped up. Consigned by Will Penrose.Guide Price: £3,000-£5,000

1973 MG B GT V8 Police Car Transmission: manualMileage:22901The MGB was first introduced in May 1962 as a direct replacement for the MGA. Performance was brisk with power supplied by a 1798cc four-cylinder iron block engine set within a monocoque lightweight bodyshell with crumple zones incorporated. October 1965 saw the introduction of the GT and was based on the already popular roadster. Designed by Pinninfarina, the new GT sported a hatchback giving useful access to the rear luggage space and a rear bench seat that enabled the car to be called a 2+2. Although acceleration was slightly slower than the roadster, top speed was better by 5mph due to the increased aerodynamic efficiency. The possibility of fitting the larger aluminium 3528cc Rover P5B engine into the MG B GT was always an option. Space was not a problem as the car had originally been designed for fitment of a V4 that was never produced.This pre-production MG B GT V8 was first registered on 2nd February 1973 and was originally registered as a Police car. British Leyland sent these MG's to selected Police forces for operational evaluation. MG B V8's remained in production until 1976, the model was never offered for sale in the US. This example underwent a major restoration in 2009-2013 which included a bare metal respray and major mechanical items, invoices totalling some £23,000 are in the file. Presenting in the colour combination of white (unsurprisingly) and navy interior, still present is the Police sign and light on the roof (this must be covered for road use). The Police radio is still in the interior which is in great condition. Supplied with a V5C registration document, some service history, together with some interesting Police notepads. MG B GT V8's are always sought-after, this very rare (there were 12 allocated to the Police) and exceptionally tidy example is sure to create interest with collectors and enthusiasts.

1964 Jaguar Mk. X (3.8 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:36000The Jaguar Mk. X was the top of the range saloon built by the British manufacturer primarily aimed at the US market. The unitary construction body-shell was codenamed 'Zenith' during development and this floor pan continued in production long after production ended. The interior was the last Jaguar with abundant standard woodwork, including the dashboard, escutcheons, window trim, a pair of large book-matched fold-out rear picnic tables and a front seat pull-out picnic table stowed beneath the instrument cluster. It was also the first Jaguar saloon to feature independent rear suspension and differed from earlier large Jaguar saloons in having 14 wheels instead of the more common 15. The car initially featured a 3,781cc version of Jaguar's XK in-line, six-cylinder engine. For the London Motor Show in October 1964, the enlarged 4,235cc unit took over although the 3.8 litre unit could still be specified until October 1965. Stopping power for this heavy car came from servo assisted disc-brakes on all four wheels; power assisted steering was standard.Presented in Silver metallic with sumptuous red full leather interior, this example was first registered on 1st August 1964 and specified with the rare and desirable manual with overdrive gearbox. Owned from new for some 43 years, this example has had just one former keeper. Since 2007 the car has been well maintained and now boasts an upgraded XJ6 series III gearbox with synchromesh on all gears, full stainless steel exhaust built by Ian Stewart, 3-2-1 distributer, new electric fuel pump and sits on a matching set of Michelin tyres. The history file shows that in February 2023 the car benefitted from recommissioning work including service and brake service. The history file is comprehensive with significant history dating back to 1964, also supplied with the Jaguar 3.8 Mk. X service manual, spare tyre, jack, toolkit and a period look uprated radio and rear picnic tables. The Mk. X is a wonderful car that was utilised by celebrities and gangsters alike and today is still an imposing classic which has proved to be very collectable and with a sports exhaust and triple carburettors it provides great performance while ample space for the family€¦or friends.

1973 Lamborghini Espada Series III Transmission: manualMileage:19011The 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 Espada would make for an excellent base for a restoration, it appears to be relatively solid and complete and has spent the majority of its time off the road in secure dry storage. An old tax disc dated 2006 is still in the windscreen, so it is safe to assume this was the last time the car was on the road. The displayed mileage of 19,011 miles could very possibly be genuine, areas such as the pedals and switchgear appear to have minimal amounts of wear, though this mileage cannot be warranted. Our vendor has owned this example since 1997 and reports that shortly after purchase, a full engine rebuild and body restoration was carried out by Cordwallis in Maidenhead, costing approximately £42,000 at the time. Unfortunately, the paperwork has been lost for the car at some point over the years, so the relating paperwork is no longer present. Viewing is highly recommended, although clearly in need of full restoration, the car does appear to be a very good starting point. Consignor Fraser Smith
