2000 Mercedes-Benz CL600 AMG Transmission: automaticMileage:104752The CL Class is the flagship of the Mercedes-Benz car range. It continued to follow the same development cycle as the S-Class, though riding on a shorter wheelbase and offered with only the higher-output powertrains. It was the first Mercedes to feature Active Body Control, Bi-Xenon headlights and, on the early V12 models such as this one, it employed Active Cylinder Control. This shut down one bank of cylinders under light engine loads enabling it to achieve better fuel economy than the V8 CL500. Not bad for a car with a six litre V12 developing 367bhp and yielding a Soyuz-launching 0-60mph time of 5.9 seconds. It is as a Grand Tourer that this model is primarily designed for though. With more rear seat space than many executive Saloons, a huge boot and a truly cosseting driving environment, the CL is one of the most soothing cars you could hope to take on a long trip. The performance is remarkable and the turbine-smooth V12 is, frankly, epic.This example is presented in silver with black leather interior and comes with electric sunroof, heated electric memory seats to the front, satellite navigation, CD player and air conditioning. Powered by the smooth and quiet but mighty V12, this car is in good condition and still so sumptuous. These luxurious coupés were extremely expensive when first manufactured and today this car is offered without reserve – simply a must!Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction. Buyers are advised to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out this service. Historics will not entertain disputes over descriptions.

1964 Mercedes-Benz 220SE Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:12754The Mercedes-Benz W111 was produced from 1959 to 1968 and was the chassis code given to its top-range vehicles, with two-door coupés and cabriolets being produced from 1961 to 1971. Design of a replacement for the two-door Pontons began in 1957 as most of the chassis and drivetrain were to be unified with the saloon with the emphasis on the exterior styling. Production began in late 1960 and in February of the next year the coupé was premiered in Stuttgart for the 75th anniversary of the opening of Mercedes-Benz Museum. The convertible followed at the Frankfurt Motor Show a few months later; the car was almost identical to the coupé with the soft-top roof folded into a recess behind the rear seat and covered by a tightly fitting bag. Unlike the previous generation of two-door ponton series, there was only one model for the two-door vehicle, the 220SE on both versions, with the identical 2195cc engine.This excellent example was registered in April 1964. Described as being in good mechanical order, this Mercedes has recently passed an MoT test in spite of being exempt by virtue of its age. This 220SE cabriolet is finished in blue black metallic and has been retrimmed in dark blue. Presented to auction with a V5C registration document and the previously mentioned MoT test certificate valid until August 2022. 1960s Mercedes convertibles are becoming increasingly sought after by people all over the world making them a very sound investment for the future and excellent examples such as this car will always attract the highest of prices.

1969 Wolseley 1300 Mk. II Transmission: manualMileage:47134Alec Issigonis will be best remembered for the Mini and the Morris Minor, but arguably one of his greatest successes was ADO16, the BMC/British Leyland family saloon of the 1960s and 1970s, with its incredibly spacious interior within compact overall dimensions, its superb fluid cushion ride and its mix of models from bargain Austin and Morris through sophisticated Wolseley, gentlemanly Riley, sporting MG and 1300GT, and toff’s Vanden Plas Princess.This 1300 Mk. II is an example of what is considered the best of the Wolseley ADO16 with more luxurious trim, twin carbs, wood dash and a distinctive strip speedometer. Presented with a Sand bodywork and complementary trim, this 50 year old car boasts its original chrome and paint in good order due to the fact it has been garaged and used sparingly its entire life, indeed a hark back to times when the family car was the most treasured of assets. The interior includes Britax Auto-Lok (inertia reel) seat belts and is stunning and even the driver’s seat barely looks used. The veneered wood dash still has its, as-new, gloss and the distinctive strip speedometer, so much a feature of the ADO16 and looks like new. The twin-carb 1300 engine produced a healthy 65bhp, only 5bhp below the highest output engine fitted to an ADO16 when new. The engine has recently been removed, the engine bay restored, new clutch and all oil seals and rubber mounts replaced, so this is still a lively little car that will easily keep pace with modern traffic.Its first owner clocked up 18,000 miles in 16 years before selling it to Mr and Mrs Leo Hill who have kept it in the family ever since. Used by their daughter for some years, it reverted to their care and for decades attended shows with the Wolseley Register of which its owners were keen members. The vehicle has completed multiple times the London to Brighton classic runs and been the winner of the Wolseley National Show, it was a well-travelled car at the local and national shows over its lifetime. We are informed that recently new rear brake cylinders, master cylinder seals, rear brake pipes and flexible hoses, fuel lines, air filter, engine oil and filter and battery were all fitted. The car has an MoT test certificate which is valid until October 2022 and has no advisories.Guide Price £6,000 - £9,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

Lot 116
1927 AC 6 Aceca Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:77500Although AC’s reputation was established by John Weller’s famous overhead-camshaft six fitted to this example, its early offerings relied on proprietary four-cylinder engines. The AC 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.This lovely highly original example has been in the same family ownership for over 60 years and is presented in beige/black with brown leather interior, which is pleasantly patinated. In running condition, this wonderful coupé can boast the fact that all its controls and gauges are functioning including the clock, which is rare with cars of this age. Its six cylinder engine is mated to a three speed gearbox integral with the rear axle. The brake system is rod operated with fitted front brakes as an option. It has rear chassis and wing steps which provide the access to the ‘dicky’ seat to the rear, it has wind down side windows, ‘pull over’ hood with easy peg fixings on windscreen top rail (the hood could do with some attention).The car has been re-wired with armour cable incorporating a master battery isolation switch, and its rear mounted fuel tank with gauge, connects to a fuel line filter which in turn connects to a scuttle mounted Autovac. It also comes with an original ‘hints for owners’ handbook in well used condition although the present owner has compiled some technical manuals for ‘power train’, ‘body and chassis’ and ‘general’ which are so useful. A fun classic in original condition.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

Lot 164
1995 Ferrari F355 Spider Transmission: manualMileage:41897Manufactured from May 1994 to 1999, the Ferrari F355 was an evolution of the Ferrari 348. It is a mid-engined, rear wheel drive, V8 powered two seat coupé. At launch, two models were available; the coupé Berlinetta and the Targa topped GTS. The Spider (convertible) version was introduced in 1995. One major difference between the longitudinal V8 in the 348 and that in the 355, apart from the displacement increase from 3.4 to 3.5 litres, is that the F355 features a five valve per cylinder head that is considerably more powerful, producing 375bhp. The nomenclature does not follow the formula from the previous decades, i.e. engine capacity plus cylinder number for example, the Ferrari 308 name comes from three litres plus eight cylinders, with the same for the 328, 348, 512 etc. This time, Ferrari used engine capacity plus number of valves per cylinder; proud to boast about this technological advancement, with the name 355 coming from 3.5 litres engine capacity and five valves per cylinder. The F355 has become the most popular model so far with over 11,273 cars produced.This lovely low mileage example presents very well and is finished in the rare coachwork of Swaters Blue complemented by its tan leather interior. The discerning will no doubt note that this has the desirable manual gearbox powered by the 3496cc V8 engine fitted with the Bosch Motronic fuel injection. Reassuringly at 40,073 miles, a cambelt service was carried out. This example is in very good order throughout having been imported from Newport, California at the beginning of 2018 by the current vendor. UK lights have been fitted to conform with UK regulations and the history file includes an original toolkit, service book with many Ferrari main dealer service stamps, and UK V5C registration document. This is a lovely looking Ferrari that will no doubt give a lucky new owner great pleasure and pride of ownership.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

Lot 261
1966 Jaguar S-Type (3.8 Litre) Transmission: automaticMileage:32279Produced from 1963 to 1968, the Jaguar S-Type was technically a more sophisticated development of the Jaguar Mk. II, offering buyers a more luxurious alternative. It was available with either 3.4 or 3.8 litre XK engines and featured longer rear bodywork among other styling and interior changes. Despite its extra weight, the S-Type's independent rear suspension allowed it to corner faster than the Mk. II, especially on uneven surfaces, providing better traction and a much smoother ride for rear seat passengers with the consensus that the S-Type offered significant improvements over the Mk. II in road holding, safety and ride comfort. It was described as 'a convenient family car, a businessman's express, a sports coupé and a grand tourer.'This well presented example is finished in burgundy coachwork over a beige leather interior and is fitted with the desirable 3.8 litre engine mated to a Borg Warner automatic gearbox. The paintwork is generally very good and retains a deep shine and the interior is very pleasant, the seats and carpets look to have been renewed in more recent times and the wood veneer dashboard is well. Offered with previous MoT test certificates, a leather Jaguar wallet with booklets, the UK V5 registration document and a Jaguar Heritage Dating Certificate.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

Lot 199
1934 MG PA Transmission: manualMileage:893The MG P-Type was manufactured from 1934 to 1936. This two-door sports car used an updated version of the overhead camshaft, crossflow engine used in the 1928 Morris Minor and Wolseley 10 and previously fitted in the J-Type Midget of 1932 to 1934. The chassis was a strengthened and slightly longer version of that used in the J-Type with suspension by half-elliptic springs all round as well as rigid front and rear axles. The most significant improvement, however, was that the crankshaft main bearings were increased from two to three. The top-end was a carry-over with a cross-flow cylinder head and a single overhead camshaft. Most cars were open two-seaters although some streamlined ‘Airline Coupé' bodies were also made. The P-Type was also available as a four-seater, a car that, unfortunately, suffered from a lack of power and poor rear ground clearance. Around 2,000 MG PA’s were produced and in 1935 a new PA open seat tourer cost £222.Manufactured in 1934, this MG PA presents in good order throughout, the car started immediately when requested and the engine ran very smoothly with no adverse rattles or noises. The knowledgeable vendor has fettled this car well to ensure the car is ready to be used and enjoyed by any new owner. These stylish Abingdon built sportscars always cause interest wherever they appear. It is hard to imagine this vehicle is 87 years old, what a great way to enjoy classic car motoring for a relatively modest outlay.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

Lot 211
1990 Mercedes-Benz 280GE Transmission: automaticMileage:110000The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagon, short for Geländewagen (cross-country vehicle), is characterised by its boxy styling and body-on-frame construction. It uses three fully locking differentials, one of the few vehicles to have such a feature. The G-Class is still in production and is one of the longest produced Mercedes-Benz vehicles in their history with a span of 32 years. It was developed as a military vehicle from a suggestion by the Shah of Iran and offered as a civilian version in 1979. The first major refinements were introduced in 1981, including an automatic transmission, air conditioning, an auxiliary fuel tank, protective headlamp grilles and a cable winch. Fuel injection became available in 1982 when the 230GE was introduced in Turin, along with more comfortable and supportive front seats, auxiliary heating, wider tyres and wheel arches. For 1985, differential locks, central door locking and a tachometer became standard.First registered on 14th November 1990 and offered in black with the original tartan grey Mercedes trim, this desirable long wheelbase 280GE with the 2.8 litre petrol engine is mated to a recently serviced automatic transmission. This example also boasts a ‘jump seat’ to the rear so in total it has space for six passengers. Featuring a recent service which included new front brake pads, this Mercedes is offered with the original owner’s manual, a raft of receipts and service invoices coupled to historic MoT test certificates. This 280GE boasts just four previous owners and an MoT test certificate valid until June 2022.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2020 Triumph Bonneville T120 ‘Hinckley Spitfire’ Transmission: paddleMileage:0During the Second World War, the skies above Kent buzzed with dog fights; ME109s and Britain’s classic Supermarine Spitfire locked in mortal combat. The Messerschmitt was simply outclassed and hence the Battle of Britain was won by the ground crew and pilots of Fighter Command. The Spitfire has remained in the subconscious and is still remembered as one of the most sublime designs ever penned, its shape and engine note, the most moving of symphonies.These exquisite machines were often paid for by charitable donations and this one was originally funded by the Hinckley Hosiery Company and built as a single seat fighter at the Castle Bromwich factory in 1944. She entered service later that year with 33 Squadron based at Merville, Northern France. Her primary tasking was ground support of offensive operations often engaging in strafing attacks on enemy rail and road forces. The 4th May 1945 was PV202’s last operational flight, taking her total to 96 operational sorties. Post war, she was restored by Steve Atkins to her current twin-seat configuration and is flying passengers at air shows around the UK.It is unsurprising that when the Triumph motorcycle brand was relaunched, the factory should be located in Hinckley as well. This represented then, the Triumph Hinckley Spitfire Bonneville, a tribute to Hinckley, a tribute to the glorious Spitfire and the men who flew them and a tribute to Triumph themselves who built and donated this fabulous machine free of charge, to be auctioned with all proceeds going to charity. It was during the build, in fact, that some aluminium was taken from the Spitfire restoration and used in this Bonneville build.This bespoke T120 motorcycle with a high torque 1200cc engine includes Brembo front calipers and Nissin rears as well as twin rear suspension units with pre-load adjustment. Needless to say, the coachwork is a one-off and reflects the camouflage pattern of the Spitfire with a nod to the roundels of the RAF.The reason for this motorcycle’s appearance however, is not just to show off the creator’s art - although it is not inconsiderable - but to draw attention to a charity called Aerobility.This charity provides access to aviation for anyone with any disability. They do this because taking to the skies and taking the controls of an aircraft provides relief from the restrictions of disability that cannot be achieved any other way. Aerobility takes to the skies with up to 1000 individuals a year, 30% of whom are wounded, injured or sick members of our armed forces.The experience encourages the question ‘if I can fly an aeroplane, what else can I do?’ and it delivers benefits that extend far beyond the airfield. It is fitting that two such British icons of freedom and determination to overcome adversity, will once again, through this auction, continue to inspire hope and provide help to individuals in overcoming their personal challenges. Aerobility helps them into the skies.The motorbike is, of course, great but the pleasure of release from a wheelchair is indescribable.www.aerobility.comRegistered charity number 1149629Photography with grateful thanks to Richard DeakinInterested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

Lot 237
1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda Transmission: automaticMileage:13672In 1963, Mercedes-Benz debuted an all new roadster to replace the 190 SL and 300 SL - the 230 SL. The 230 SL 'Pagoda' was a stunning Paul Bracq designed two-seat convertible that followed Mercedes' new design language, featuring crisp lines and upright headlights. To save on weight, the bonnet, door skins, boot lid, and tonneau cover were all composed of aluminium. The nickname 'Pagoda' was quickly adopted thanks to the slightly concave roof on the optional removable hardtop that resembled a pagoda roof. In 1967, Mercedes introduced the third and final iteration of the 'Pagoda', the 280 SL, and it then became apparent that some cars don't change, they just get better. The 280 featured the same modified W111 chassis with a rear swing axle and independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Power came from a 2.8 litre version of Mercedes inline-six and used Bosch fuel injection. These roadsters also have one of the most beautiful bodies produced in the 1960s and, thanks to their robust inline-six and their luxurious Mercedes interior, they are wonderful cars to be driven and enjoyed.This left hand drive example was delivered new to Namibia in 1970 and has had just two owners from new. The first owner enjoyed this Mercedes for some 30 years before the current vendor acquired the vehicle in 2000 while stationed in Namibia for work reasons. More recently the vendor has shipped the 280SL Pagoda back to the UK. Used occasionally in recent times, this Mercedes presents in good order and the body and chassis are in very good condition. The vendor reports that Mercedes-Benz specialists, Roger Edwards Motors Ltd inspected the 280 SL and reported that the chassis and body are in very good condition having spent all its life in either the dry desert climate or in de-humidified storage here in the UK. Having covered a mere 13,672 from new this Mercedes 280SL presented in green with Chestnut interior looks superb and is fitted with an upgraded Mercedes gearbox from a later model. This upgrade makes for a much smoother gear change and in our opinion significantly improves the driving experience. Offered with a history file including confirmation of UK taxes paid and a copy of the original build sheet from Mercedes-Benz. Interested parties should note that the UK registration document is currently with the DVLA and will be sent to the buyer following the auction.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2013 Lotus Seven Replica By Birkin Racing Transmission: manualMileage:When the Lotus Seven was launched in 1957, designed by the legendary Colin Chapman, it was far ahead of any other sports racing cars of the era. The car was so right first time, it is still in production today, as the Caterham. It is the second most copied car on the planet. Lotus produced the classic Seven through until 1970, the Series 3 benefitting from a strengthened chassis, wider wheels and tyres, slightly wider and strengthened Ford Escort Mexico back axle, exterior fuel filler and even a fuel gauge!This well-presented Lotus Seven replica is based on a Birkin Racing Seven. It has recently been imported from South Africa where it was part of a private collection and raced regularly. Rebuilt to race specification, this Seven is fitted with a black top Toyota 4A-GE 20 valve engine, developing circa 175bhp. Other upgrades include fully rose jointed suspension, uprated wheels and tyres, a safety fuel tank (which sits in the passenger seat), fully independent rear suspension, limited slip differential, upgraded shock absorbers and fully independent rear suspension.Presented in ‘Team Lotus’ livery, this example has previously been a front runner in the Lotus Challenge Series and we are sure it will be a very competitive car for the new custodian. Offered with all UK Taxes paid and a NOVA document, this extremely fast example is sure to be huge amounts of fun for the new owner. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 Jaguar E-Type Series III Fixedhead Coupé Transmission: automaticMileage:71883One consequence of the E-Type’s long process of development had been a gradual increase in weight, but a good measure of the concomitant loss of performance was restored in 1971 with the arrival of the sensational Series III V12. Weighing only 80lb more than the cast-iron-block 4.2 litre that it replaced, the new all-alloy, 5.3 litre, overhead camshaft V12 engine produced 272bhp, an output good enough for a top speed well in excess of 140mph. Further good news was that the 0-100mph time of around 16 seconds made the V12 the fastest accelerating E-Type ever. Other mechanical changes beneath the Series III’s more aggressive looking exterior included ventilated front disc brakes, anti-dive front suspension, Lucas transistorised ignition, and Adwest power-assisted steering, while automatic transmission was one of the more popular options on what was now more of a luxury Grand Tourer than out-and-out sports car. Flared wheel arches, a deeper radiator air intake complete with grille and a four-pipe exhaust system distinguished the Series III from its six-cylinder forbears, plus, of course, that all important V12 boot badge. The interior though, remained traditional Jaguar. Built in two-seat roadster and 2+2 coupé versions, both of which used the long wheelbase floor pan introduced on the Series II 2+2, the Series III E-Type continued the Jaguar tradition of offering a level of performance and luxury unrivalled at the price.Built on 27th April 1972 and shipped to British Leyland New York USA, this left hand drive V12 E-Type was returned to the UK in 2017. A matching numbers example in its original colours of white with a Cinnamon leather interior, it is also fitted with air conditioning. Now UK registered, the car has had just two UK owners and has been well maintained including new rear brakes calipers in 2019 and a stainless steel exhaust and new GAZ shock absorbers in 2020, with approximately £8,000 of expenditure on file. Mechanically the car starts and runs as it should, the automatic gearbox works well and has had a recent oil change. This is a largely original and unrestored car and it presents well although the paintwork is showing some minor signs of age. This is a well presented, useable example showing a modest 71,883 miles on the odometer and is offered with a sizeable history file including a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Dating Certificate and the UK V5 registration document.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Transmission: manualMileage:52218General Motors designer Harley Earl loved sports cars and was influenced by the GI’s bringing home MGs, Jaguars, Alfa Romeo’s and the like after hostilities ceased in Europe in 1945. Even the small independent carmaker, Nash Motors, began selling a two-seater sports car in 1951. Earl convinced GM that they also needed to build a two-seat sports car. Earl and his 'special projects' crew began working on the new car later that year which was code named 'Opel'. The result was the 1953 Corvette, which took its name from a small, manoeuvrable fighting frigate and was unveiled to the public at that years Motorama Car Show.Presented in iconic red with red inserts, this splendid C1 was fully restored in the US before our enthusiastic owner took delivery in early 2017. This is an Arizona supplied car, as seen by the original US title. The first and only owner in the UK, our vendor, has used the car for trips to the pub and local shows in his five years of ownership, with most journeys being relatively short apart from a recent trip to Cornwall during which he states the car performed excellently both their and back and was a pleasure to drive. Boasting the 327ci V8 engine, recent additions include a new fuel tank and electronic ignition, new water pump, all gearbox and shaft seals replaced on the four-speed manual gearbox and we are informed there are no drips, the Rochester carburettor has been rebuilt and fitted which has made for a great responsive drive.Having always been garaged in an air-conditioned garage, as part of our vendors modest collection, the car never sees the rain and at the time of consignment all gauges were in working order apart from the clock, but one could say time stands still when enjoying a C1 on the road with the top down. This is a very well priced and iconic C1 in what we believe is the best colour combination.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1964 Piaggio Vespa 150cc Transmission: paddleMileage:45The Vespa has evolved from a single model motor scooter manufactured in 1946 by Piaggio & Co. of Pontedera, Italy. Designed by Renzo Spolti and Vittorio Casini and known as the MP5 (Moto Piaggio no.5). From its inception the Vespa scooter has been known for its painted, pressed steel unibody, which combines a complete cowling for the engine, a flat floorboard and a prominent front fairing. Upon seeing this new design for the first time, Enrico Piaggio exclaimed ‘Sembra una Vespa!’ (It resembles a wasp). The new scooter had been named. This iconic design has featured in displays at the Guggenheim in New York and the Pompidou centre in Paris.A stunning restored 150cc 1964 Vespa in a modern colour scheme of grey with a tan seat, this example, which starts on the button, has been recently serviced with two new tyres fitted and boasts an original maintenance booklet. This would be a great addition to any showroom or man cave but equally could be the coolest mode of transport about town.Guide Price £4,000 - £6,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1966 Triumph TR4A IRS (Surrey Top) Transmission: manualMileage:49438Produced between 1961 and 1967, the Triumph TR4 combined a new, modern, and aggressive body design by famed Italian stylist, Giovanni Michelotti, with the basic chassis of the previous TR3A. The TR4 also improved passenger comfort with wind-up windows, face-level ventilation, and an optional hardtop. When equipped with the optional overdrive, the TR4 was good for a top speed of almost 110mph. Following on from the TR4, the new TR4A was phased in smoothly at the beginning of 1965 and introduced an all-new independent rear suspension system (IRS), which provided exceptional rear-wheel camber control with excellent wheel travel while softer springs improved the ride quality. Having six universal joints, three propshafts and two trailing arms, the system was appreciatively more expensive than the previous live axle arrangement (dealers in the US reacted uncomfortably to the new design on cost grounds; to appease them, Triumph built the TR4A in two forms, one with a live axle primarily for the US and the TR4A IRS for other markets where the price was less sensitive). The press was happy to see an all-independent car, and Triumph was pleased to be the first British car manufacturer to have all-independent suspensions under every car in their line-up. At the Sebring 12 Hours in 1966, ample proof of the validity of the IRS was provided when three IRS-equipped TR4As achieved a remarkable 1-2-3 class victory.Manufactured on 4th May 1966 and distributed to H.A. Browett & Co. Ltd in Leicester, this Triumph was then registered on 17th May 1966 and presents in the delightful colour combination of Signal Red with black interior. Sitting proudly on wire wheels this has clearly been a very well cared for vehicle and comes with a superb history folder. The Heritage Certificate verifies it to be a matching numbers example and confirms NAB 595D to have independent rear suspension, overdrive, occasional rear seat, heater and a hard (Surrey) top, together with a Surrey soft top. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 19th September 2022, this is a very good example of a desirable TR4A IRS.

1946 Citroën Light 15 Transmission: manualMileage:81531The Citroën Traction Avant was manufactured from 1934 to 1957. The Traction Avant, French for 'front-wheel drive', was designed by André Lefèbvre and Flaminio Bertoni in late 1933. While not the first produced front-wheel drive car, it was the world's first front-wheel drive steel monocoque production car and successfully pioneered front-wheel drive on the European mass car market. This method of construction was viewed with great suspicion in many quarters, with doubts about its strength, an unusual type of crash test was conceived taking the form of driving the car off a cliff to demonstrate its strength. Left hand drive versions were built in Paris, Belgium and Denmark, right hand drive cars were built in Slough, England. The Slough version was called the Light 15 and the long wheelbase the Big 15. This confusing terminology referred to the British fiscal tax rating of the time which was higher than the French. Models assembled in Slough had to be 51% UK parts to make them exempt from import duty, to protect the British vehicle manufacturers from foreign competition. The Slough built cars used 12 Volt Lucas electrics, headlights, dynamo and starter motor with Jaeger instruments and a walnut dashboard.First registered on 5th November 1946 to an owner in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, this car was built in the first year of Slough production and retains its original number plate. This is also the more desirable specification Citroën Light with the added benefit of being a ‘small boot’ car. The car presents well in black with contrasting trim and a good woodwork dash and is reported by the vendor to run and drive very well. Our vendor is only for sale due to his collection getting slightly too large and needing to free up some room. Supplied with its UK V5C registration document and the original buff logbook, this car has been well maintained and during his ownership and has been fitted with seat belts. These right hand drive, Slough built, small boot cars are the most desirable Light 15’s and are versatile and immensely enjoyable classics.Guide Price £6,000 - £10,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1961 Saab 96 FIA race/rally car Transmission: manualMileage:67060Svenska Aeroplan Aktie Bolaget: the acronym SAAB leaves no doubt about the vocation of the company that, before IKEA, taught us how to appreciate the pragmatic creativity of the Swedes. The Swedish engineers wisely focused on a simple, light, affordable and reliable product: a small vehicle that used a light weight and aerodynamics to make up for the lack of horsepower, built on a simple chassis frame with a two-door body style in which anything superfluous has been eliminated. ‘Lateral thinking’ was also applied to the engine; given that the best car engine was a six-cylinder with medium-high displacement and considering that the SAAB would not have been able to cope with the bulk, weight and cost, the engineers decided to install a two stroke three-cylinder engine! The greater simplicity and absence of vibration, with the high specific power, made it a perfect alternative for anyone ready to look beyond the conventional. These characteristics also made it possible to use the 96 in competitions and, above all, in rallies, a specialty long dominated by Scandinavian drivers - the most famous SAAB driver possibly being Erik Carlsson.Originally built in 1960, this Saab 96 wasn’t road registered until 1961. Having spent most of its life as a standard road car, the decision was taken in the early 2000’s to convert it into a Group 2 race car. The accompanying substantial history file shows many pictures, race programs and notes, (in Swedish) from its racing career in Sweden. In 2007 the car was purchased and imported to the UK where it was modified to fit in with the FIA CT1 Competition Touring Car Class. Invoices for various preparation work carried out are included in the file and show several thousand pounds spent with renowned single seater specialist Mark Linstone. Forming part of a large collection of race cars, the vendor has decided to reduce his stable and, despite having just rebuilt the engine to a very high specification, (at a reported cost of £10,000), has decided it is one of the cars that has to go. Indeed, it has only raced once since the engine was rebuilt, with all the safety equipment such as seat, seat belts and fire extinguisher all being in date as well.Supplied with its UK V5C registration document, FIA papers valid through until the end of 2026 and substantial history file. A quirky motorsport legend, this car is eligible to run in most historic touring car series, (having run mainly with Julius Thurgood’s HRDC in the UK) and would potentially be eligible for the Goodwood Revival.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2001 Mercedes-Benz Smart Fortwo Brabus Cup Transmission: paddleMileage:191795It could be argued that the most famous Formula One racing car designer is Gordon Murray. He certainly was instrumental in assisting Ayrton Senna, Nelson Piquet and Alain Prost to Formula One glory and was the brains behind the McLaren F1 road car. His early years were spent designing Brabham F1 cars under Bernie Eccleston, many of which became World Championship and Constructors Grand Prix winners.Supplied with the original Brabus order form invoicing McLaren with Gordon Murray as the first customer in 2001, there are numerous additional extras. These include ‘Murray of Athol Ancient tartan’ driver’s seat and door cards, Brabus ‘Wide-Star’ wheels and arches, sports exhaust and F1 paddle-shift gear change. Most striking of all, of course, is the Lamborghini green paintwork costing over £5,000. With a full page of extras, the total cost exceeds £24,000 and includes a Gordon Murray signed tacho. This is all backed up with a comprehensive history folder including owner’s pack, a fresh service and a full MoT test certificate.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1988 Mercedes-Benz 280 GE Transmission: automaticMileage:90900The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagon, short for Geländewagen, (cross-country vehicle), is characterised by its boxy styling and body-on-frame construction. It uses three fully locking differentials, one of the few vehicles to have such a feature. The G-Class is still in production and is one of the longest produced Mercedes-Benz in Daimler's history with a span of 32 years. The G-class was developed as a military vehicle from a suggestion by the Shah of Iran and offered as a civilian version in 1979. The first major refinements were introduced in 1981, including an automatic transmission, air conditioning, an auxiliary fuel tank, protective headlamp grills and a cable winch. Fuel injection became available in 1982 when the 230GE was introduced in Turin, along with more comfortable and supportive front seats, auxiliary heating, wider tyres, and fender flares. For 1985, differential locks, central door locking, and a tachometer become standard.This very original example is presented in metallic grey with cloth ‘Recaro’ interior and comes with automatic transmission, front grill mounted fog lights and a fitted tow bar. It had a ‘short’ engine replacement at 36,562 which is documented in the history file and the odometer is currently showing a mere 90,900 which is very low for such a vehicle of its age. This iconic 4x4 was last used on the road in 2008 and has been dried stored ever since. The present owner has recently carried out a light recommissioning which entailed new brakes, battery and fuel pump and it will come with a new MoT test certificate. The interior is in nice condition with added benefit of having the extra rear seats, therefore offering the nine-seat option which is extremely useful and electric windows to the front and rear. The vehicle comes with its original booklets, manuals, full set of overmats and a copy of its original data sheet. These 4x4 from Mercedes-Benz have reached ‘cult’ status amongst enthusiasts and this genuine example is devoid of some of those additions which most find unattractive.Interested parties should note that this vehicle was running prior to its delivery but needs re commissioning and cannot be driven away from the auction venue.

2010 Bentley Continental GT Supersports Transmission: automaticMileage:21000Unveiled 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.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1971 Jaguar E-Type Series III 2+2 Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:76252By the mid-1960s, the Jaguar E-Type was appealing to the man with a young family but who were restricted by the size of the current Jaguar E-Type Coupé and its open topped sibling. This prompted Jaguar to offer a third option in the form of a 2+2 Coupé. By adding nine inches to the wheelbase and two inches in height, it was then possible to fit a rear seat capable of seating two adults in tolerable comfort. Of course, the rear seat was more suited to children or, as 'The Motor' put it at the time, the car could 'extend dad's youth for another seven years'. Robert Bell in Motor was quoted as saying at the time that all we expected to try was a new engine but what in fact we drove was a new car. Not a yowling, aggressive Ferrari-like machine with which, perhaps, most people associate a V12 engine but a very smooth, quiet and refined grand touring sports car.Manufactured on 3rd March 1971, this E-Type was built as a left hand drive model and was intended to be sold in Italy. However, as the Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirms, this order was cancelled and the car remained with Jaguar Cars. The car appears to have undergone a colour change from light blue to British Racing Green and converted to right hand drive before it was finally despatched to Coombs in Guildford on 30th March 1973. Presenting now in very good order throughout, this E-Type starts on the button and runs exceedingly well; these long-legged tourers are ideal for a trip to the coast or to the South of France. With only four previous keepers, this Jaguar has clearly been very well cared for. The beige leather trim complements the recently repainted exterior and the car also has a full length Webasto sunroof. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a good history folder, this classically dynamic design is still a head turner.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1938 Fiat 508c New Balilla Spider Transmission: manualMileage:The charter establishing Fiat was signed in 1899 and a year later the factory opened and produced 24 cars in the first year. By 1908, Fiat had expanded throughout Europe and the United States and when World War I began production focused on supplying the army. After the war, during Mussolini’s rule, the company’s international presence was scaled back. By the early 1920s, production methods could not keep pace with the demand for automobiles. A new five story factory, the largest in Europe, opened in 1923 with a test track installed on the roof. The Fiat 508c was introduced as a small family car in 1937 as a replacement for the 508 Balilla. Under the new body, the 508c had a more modern and refined mechanics to include independent front suspension and an enlarged overhead valve engine. In 1939, it was updated and simply renamed the Fiat 1100, according to official figures the top speed was 110km/h or 68mph. The main body style for the 508c was a four-door pillarless saloon which was imported to the UK, the rest of Europe had a choice of a long wheelbase, four-door, six window saloon or a four-door convertible saloon, a four-door Torpedo, a two-door cabriolet, a two-door spider and a two-door Berlinetta.This Fiat 508c New Balilla Spider is a replica of a car built by Jack Tuson for Brooklands and the late 1930s Tourist Trophy races. Fiat England only imported the saloon version of the New Balilla, whereas a large numbers of the two-seat sports car version were produced in Italy. Tuson persuaded Fiat England to import a bare chassis on which he built his car. Other new features included an aluminium cylinder head and independent front suspension. It was in this car that he had a number of successes at Brooklands in 1938.The current owner rescued two derelict cars in the early 1970s. The bodies were rotten, so all the mechanical units, engines, gearboxes, axles and suspension were removed and kept. One chassis was too badly corroded but the other with registration JK 7465 was more than usable and was the basis of the recreation of the Tuson Brooklands car. Based on a set of notes written by Tuson which explained how to build his two-seat race car, they also showed that the vendor had all the material to build the replica. The engine has a number of modifications to improve performance, a late type crankshaft and con-rods were installed together with a three branch exhaust of Tuson design, a special camshaft with inlet and exhaust valve timings overlap of 40 degrees was also installed. This New Balilla, finished in black with red interior has VSCC eligibility and has competed in handicap and ODM races for nearly 20 years starting in 2000 with some success, particularly in the 1100cc class.It is supplied with a V5 registration and a file containing drawings and photographs of the restoration, magazine articles and a large number of invoices.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2013 Piaggio Vespa 946 Transmission: paddleMileage:380The 2013 Vespa 946 is a small scooter that was especially developed to help you move with agility around the city. As far as style is concerned, the Vespa 946 draws inspiration from the first Vespa prototype of 1946, featuring a retro design combined with a few contemporary lines. The scooter’s distinctive element is its body which is technically a single steel and aluminium component which also has a supporting function. Thanks to its modern body and the intensive use of aluminium, the scooter has a very low curb weight which combined with an upgraded 125cc, 3-valve, 4-stroke, air cooled engine offers an impressive fuel consumption rated at 155 mpg.This superb example is presented in ‘as new condition’ showing a mere 380 miles from new on the odometer. It is painted in black with a grey seat enabling a pillion rider and comes with manuals in a presentation box, two sets of keys and is ready to go! Stylish and a rare collectable model, this Vespa has only had one previous owner. Superb!Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.
