Collectable modern classic with just over 56,000 miles from new, presented in lovely condition and offered without reserve.Drop-top version of the original hot hatch specially manufactured by KarmannA UK-supplied, right-hand drive example with four previous keepers and only 56,062 miles from newFinished in brilliant Arctic White with matching white cloth sports seats and a white hoodComprehensive history file with original book-pack stamped up-to-date and spare keysRecent major service including cam-belt, new premium tyres and an MOT (August 2022)Highly collectable for all the right reasons and offered without reserveOffered here is a lovely 1987 Mk1 Golf GTi Cabriolet showing just 56,062 miles from its first registration on 17th December 1987. In the last 34 years, this sought-after convertible has had only four owners and covered an average of 1,650 miles per year. It's finished in a classic 80s colour combination with Arctic White paintwork, white sports cloth seats, white hood, colour coded bumpers and colour matching alloy wheel centres.It's accompanied by its original Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet book-pack which contains the original service book stamped up-to-date, and supplied with spare keys and the locking wheel nut key. It had a major service including belts and fluids on 24 October 2021 and was fitted with new, premium-brand, tyres at the same time. The MOT is valid until August 2022. Presented in mostly original condition and described as 'on-the-button' mechanically, this 'time-warp' example would benefit from further detailing and as such presents a great opportunity to enhance its value particularly as it's offered 'without reserve'.Whilst many motorists today appreciate the exhilaration of roof-down ‘wind-in-your-hair' motoring, few are willing to forego the comfort of a saloon car in order to enjoy it, however, the GTi Cab makes any such sacrifice unnecessary being designed and built by one of the world's most experienced builders of open-touring cars - Karmann of Osnabrück. With the hood up these little four-seat convertibles are remarkably draught free, lower the hood and you are able to take advantage of every moment of sunshine which the British summer can muster.

One of One. An Evo VII RS developed by Xtreme to an unprecedented level. Incredible spec and incredibly special.The Evo VII SC was based on an Evo VII RS and suitable for road use as well as competitionDemonstrated extensively, used as a press car and the cover car for the Xtreme websiteBy 2005 at 2,834 miles it was sold from their showroom in 2005 to a private buyer who spent a further £30,000 on the carFull Service history and details of the massive build-spec on our websiteThis is a unique motor car and part of the history of the Evo, Ralliart, Xtreme DudleyIn the days before Mitsubishi officially imported their Lancer Evolution models (Evos), Ralliart UK (often known as Extreme Dudley) were the original importers of Evos into the UK. During this period, they built a number of ‘specials’ including the Evo VI Extreme, RS Sprint and 450, VII Extreme S and RS Sprint and, although sold in small numbers, most importantly they were official UK cars. Ralliart Extreme were power players in Evo history, and were the company to go to for enthusiasts, due to their 3-year warranty and top of their game sales team and technicians. Based on this success, they decided to build a further car to be used as a demonstrator before ultimately being sold. Entitled the Evo VII SC, it was to be based on an Evo VII RS and be suitable for road use as well as competition. Toney Cox, the workshop manager responsible for car build and testing for the Ralliart world rally team (WRC), was entrusted with the build and the car was finished in 2003.The SC was demonstrated extensively, used as a press car, was the cover car for the Xtreme website and featured in all the company's advertising. A period advert from 2004 read "Based on the lightweight close-ratio gearbox Evolution VII RS model fitted with ACD, LSD Rear and Helical Front Diffs, our Xtreme SC is the most powerful car we have built to date, yet engineered to provide the customer with an opportunity to further tune and modify to take the power from 458bhp to over 500bhp if required! As with all of our tuning packages, torque has been a major focus too, the Xtreme SC is therefore pushing out a back thumping 410ft/lbs to ensure astonishing pull throughout the rev range. 4 cylinder, turbocharged 2.2-litres, 458bhp @ 5,800rpm, 410ft/lbs @ 3,500rpm, 0-60 in 3.5secs."In the event, only one SC was ever built, the car we are pleased to offer today.

You might think that with a highly developed spec as above, the new buyer would be happy to leave well alone, but no. He requested XTreme to make alterations at a cost of some £30,000. (£22,637 in parts). This work included a full welded-in cage, Veilside body kit, full respray inside and out, Carbon door cards, Recaro bucket seats, Proflex Jumbo 4 coil-overs and TD Visage 18" alloys.JXA was serviced by Xtreme at 5,905 miles, then sold to its next owner in 2008. It was serviced again by Xtreme at 6,410 miles then dry stored between 2009 and 2011. Documents in the history file show that the car was transferred to this owner’s business partner, then dry stored until February 2020. Our vendor purchased JXA at this point with an indicated mileage of c7,500 and immediately gave it a major service with all belts and fluids and a thorough check over. After some consideration, he decided to return it to its exact 2003 build-spec and commissioned Chris at C1-R, one of the original mechanics who built the car from new. It has been re-mapped, the body-kit removed and superbly painted.

Offered directly by Mike Brewer and soon to feature in the TV Show " The Grand Tour".A marriage of Citroen and Maserati led to the birth of a highly individual coupe - the SM was a two-door, four-seat Coupe powered by a 2670cc, Maserati, four-cam, 90-degree V6 producing 180bhp at 6,250rpm, all fed through the front wheels. Complex and innovative; the suspension was Hydropneumatic and the steering was variable-assist hydraulicThis 2.7 SM was purchased by Mike in a sorry state a few years agoThe car was completely stripped prior to a full restoration and well-respected Nathan Bovington and his family at Paragon in Northampton were key players in the projectParts were sourced from all over the world and even manufactured if they weren’t availableWhen finished, it was superbly painted in Vert Argent by Gary at Cosmetic AutocareThe SM's first public appearance was on stage at the Classic Motor Show at the NEC in Birmingham to much applauseIt subsequently won a Concours d'Elegance trophy at the National Citroen event and was used by Jeremy Clarkson for a future 'Grand Tour' episode Begun in 1961, 'Project S' emerged from Citroen's requirement to develop a sports variant of the revolutionary DS. As was customary for the quirky French firm, many running concept vehicles were developed with increasingly complex and upmarket features to differentiate the 'sports' project from the popular DS. The acquisition of Maserati by Citroen in 1968 was motivated by the possibility of harnessing Maserati's high-performance engine technology to produce a true Grand Tourer, combining the sophisticated Citroen suspension with the power of a Maserati V6.The result was the Citroen SM, which was first shown to rapturous appreciation at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1970. It went on sale in France in September of that year in left-hand drive only, although right-hand drive conversions were later offered in the UK and Australia. The SM was Citroen's flagship vehicle, competing with other high-performance GTs of the time from manufacturers such as Jaguar, Lotus, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo and Porsche. It was also Citroen's way of demonstrating just how much power and performance could be accommodated in a front-wheel drive design. As an example of Citroen's optimism and progressive technology, the SM was untouchable, and similarities drawn by pundits of the day to the design and futurism of aircraft such as Concorde cemented the love affair still borne by car aficionados today. The SM EFI was a two door, four seat coupé powered by a 2670cc, Maserati, four-cam, fuel-injected, 90-degree V6 producing 180bhp at 6,250rpm. all fed through the front wheels. It was capable of 0-60 in around 8 seconds and had a top speed in fifth gear of 140mph. Suspension was 'Hydropneumatic' and the steering was 'variable-assist' hydraulic. Everything about the car was complex.Many of us have admired the Citroen SM over the years and occasionally wondered what it would be like to own one without ever being brave enough to 'dip our toe in the water'. Wheeler Dealer Mike Brewer also shared this curiosity but the difference is, he jumped in 'feet first'. In Mike's own words;"Years ago, I was offered a very beaten Citroen SM, damaged on almost every panel, the engine in bits, it was a mess, but I have a deep fascination for the SM and its one of my must have cars so I bought it. The job of restoring such a complicated car can’t be done alone, and I’ve always said you have to choose your partners carefully, so I put a call out on the Citroen SM Owners Club and asked for experts to dig in and help me push this build.Thankfully I found the best in Nathan Bovington and his family at Paragon in Northampton. They helped me with the strip down, engine removal and parts sourcing. Parts were found all over the world, we even had parts manufactured as they weren’t available. Fortunately, around the corner from Nathan’s garage is one of the finest painters in the UK – Gary at Cosmetic Autocare. I asked Gary to deliver the best Concours paint job he could muster on, frankly, a car that never looked like it would be straight again.Once done, we presented the car on stage at the Classic Motor Show at the NEC in Birmingham. I remember when it drove on to the stage, there were audible gasps coming from the audience. It was an amazing feeling and the car then went on to win the Concours d'Elegance at the National Citroen meeting, so its fair to say it’s very nice car."Mike has now decided to reshuffle his collection and the SM was not being used on a regular basis so, reluctantly, he has decided to let it go. It's a well known car amongst SM enthusiasts and show goers and will be even better known when it airs on the small screen being driven by Mr Clarkson in a future 'Grand Tour' episode. This is a remarkable example of the rare SM, sympathetically restored and visually stunning. In Mike's own words "Whoever buys this car will have a car that’s been lovingly nurtured back to full health by an enthusiastic team of skilled craftsmen who made its temporary owner incredibly happy". .SpecificationMake: CITROËNModel: SM 2.7Year: 1972Chassis Number: 00SB8915Registration Number: MHV 700LTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 107268Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 38500 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: Brown LeatherClick here for more details and images

A special opportunity to acquire this remarkable one-off designed by Ant Anstead and his team at Dowsetts Classic Cars.Dowsetts Classic Car Company is the new trading name of the company formerly known as Evanta whose superbly built creations we have been privileged to offer in the pastThe Comet is built around a steel spaceframe chassis which is clothed in GRP reinforced with Kevlar to create a shell that is strong yet lightIts unique looks echo the classic lines of sports racers from the fifties and early sixties without becoming a pastiche of any one modelThey are entirely bespoke enabling potential owners to create exactly what they wantComet 02, on offer from its first owner, is powered by a General Motors LS3 V8, coupled to a Tremec 5-speed gearbox and a limited-slip differentialIt's finished in Porsche Crayon Grey, not an obvious choice for an evocative 6-litre fifties-style sports car but in execution, truly successfulIt sits on a set of alloy wheels that, like everything else about this remarkable car, are Dowsetts-designed and unique in the proper sense of the wordClad in red quilted leather, the car's interior reflects this same design philosophy and every nook and cranny appears to have been thought about and created to be special, and it is. Full harnesses, white-faced dials, a Moto-Lita wheel, turned aluminium stubby short-throw gear lever, satin-finished stainless details and embossed leather. Really impressiveWhilst Ant was naturally focussed on developing the car's dynamics, handling and road-holding etc., our vendor planned on using the car regularly so spec'd it with air-conditioning, Sat-Nav, a radio and a reversing-camera Having covered only 2,500 miles, a recent back injury means that our vendor sadly must now part with '02It's very sensibly guided and is now available at around half its build costHere at Silverstone Auctions we are pleased to have been able to help Ant Anstead and his passionate team at Evanta bring some of their fabulous fifties and sixties Aston Martin re-creations to the market. Evanta has recently morphed into the Dowsetts Classic Car Company and now stands proudly on its own design ethos building unique sports and GT cars, whilst still capturing the essence of the 1950s and ‘60s.Their current project is the Comet which, like other Dowsett models, is built around a bespoke steel spaceframe chassis. This is then clothed in GRP reinforced with Kevlar to create a shell which is strong yet light and, importantly, is suitable for limited production runs where tooling might otherwise be prohibitive. That said, it’s not a simple process, taking over 50 different mould tools to make the panels for a single Comet. The car’s shape is unique, in the proper sense of the word, but most viewers familiar with classic cars will identify references and styling cues that could well have come from legendary sports cars of the period, however, that was not intentional. Dowsetts’ Darren Collins comments “There are bound to be certain similarities. If you’re taking inspiration from a particular era, there are only so many ways in which it can be done. We’ve created something new, but there are clear nods to the era it evokes.” The second production car, Comet 02, on offer here from its first owner, is powered by a General Motors LS3 V8, coupled to a Tremec 5-speed gearbox and a limited-slip differential. It's finished in Porsche Crayon Grey, not an obvious choice for an evocative 6-litre fifties-style sports car but in execution, truly successful and it sits on a set of alloy wheels that, like everything else about this remarkable car, are Dowsetts-designed. Clad in red quilted leather, the car's interior reflects this same design philosophy and every nook and cranny appears to have been thought about and created to be special, and it is. Full harnesses, white-faced dials, a Moto-Lita wheel, turned aluminium stubby short-throw gear lever, satin-finished stainless details and embossed leather.These cars are totally bespoke and whilst one owner may prefer a hard-edged Mille Miglia-style sports racer with no creature comforts, the buyer of ‘02’ planned on using the car regularly so spec'd it with air-conditioning, Sat-Nav, a radio and a reversing-camera. He was only able to enjoy some 2,500 miles in 02 before a recent back injury makes driving it really difficult. He has asked us to include a few words.“As I explained I got involved with Ant Anstead over four years ago and on visiting his workshop spotted the Barchetta (open top early version of the Comet) and fell in love with it. Ant had by then started work on the Comet and I agreed to buy number two – the first having already been purchased off plan by another client and is now in America with Ant who is trying to fit an electric motor in it so mine is still the only road going Comet in the world!The car is basically the dream car of Ant, mixing an Aston Martin front with a Ferrari back and some Lotus in the middle. Constructed much like the original AC Cobras squeezing a huge 6.2-litre Chevy engine into a bespoke, hand-built lightweight body. I spent many happy hours up at the workshop watching the car come together and worked with Ant and his team to specify some of the “luxury” additions not previously planned for the car (air conditioning, radio, sat.nav. and reverse camera) Ant looking to focus more on the performance and the track cred aspects of the car which I am pleased to say he achieved and then some! I have some personal photos of the build process for anyone interested and Dowsetts can provide more.I took delivery of the car after it had finished full road testing back in December 2018 but shortly after I injured my back requiring surgery. My back is now okay but I find the Comet too low and with a fixed seat I just cannot get comfortable and so have come to the difficult and sad decision to sell the car and let someone else enjoy it.”The Comet will be available for viewing prior to our NEC sale and we strongly urge interested parties to come and have a close look at this remarkable motor car.Click here for more details and images

"I am not a number, I am a free man".We are privileged to offer what is, undoubtedly, the most famous Mini Moke in the WorldHLT 709C is one of the two surviving Mokes used in the 1968 'Cult' TV series starring Patrick McGoohan and, of course, driven in the series by the man himselfFour Mini Mokes were converted by Wood & Pickett in the summer of 1966 for the Prisoner series, and transported to Portmeirion in September 1966The 850cc engine in HLT was replaced by a 998cc Cooper-spec unit at the time of the Wood & Picket conversionAfter filming concluded in 1967, the Moke fleet was dissipated and the history of HLT up until 2011 is a mystery, however, it turned up in a barn in Holland and was shipped to the UK prior to being purchased, in a very sorry state, by our vendor in 2015Although 2 Mokes survive from the filming back in 1966, this Moke (HLT) is the only one that is, beyond any doubt, used on screen. Due to a 'mistake' whilst filming the registration plate is seen .During its restoration, as much of the original shell was built into the replacement panels that make up the bodyshell, as well as the front bulkhead, the screen frame, bonnet, cross-member, 2 seats, dash and other parts were repaired and usedThe distinctive striped canvas top and seat covers had to be reproduced but, pleasingly, the original 'Penny Farthing' motif, although aged, remains on the bonnet to this daySince its completion by our vendor, HLT has had International magazine coverage and was subject to a several page feature in 'MiniWorld ' magazine as well as being the cover star in the September 2018 issueIt's fitting that HLT's first post-restoration day out was an emotional trip back to Portmeirion and according to our vendor “When I took the car back to The Village and drove it past those famous buildings, I really got the sense that it had come home.”“The Prisoner” was a 17-episode British TV series first broadcast in Canada beginning on 6th September 1967, in the UK on 29th September 1967, and finally in the US on 1st June 1968. It stars and was co-created by Patrick McGoohan and combines 'spy fiction' with elements of science fiction, allegory and psychological drama. The series follows a British former secret agent who is abducted and imprisoned in a mysterious coastal village resort, where his captors try to find out why he abruptly resigned from his job. Although the show was sold as a thriller in the mould of the previous series starring McGoohan, Danger Man (1960–68), its combination of 1960s countercultural themes and surrealistic setting had a far-reaching influence on science fiction and fantasy TV programming, and on narrative popular culture in general. Four Mini Mokes were said to have been converted by Wood and Pickett in the summer of 1966 for the Prisoner series, and transported to Portmeirion in September 1966. Each were subtly different, and parts and fittings were swapped around during the course of filming. Some of the Mini Mokes, if not all, were later returned to London for use in studio filming. CFC 916C and HLT 709C were both involved in the filming (the first having been owned by Max Hora the once proprietor of the Prisoner shop at Portmeirion) however HLT is the only one that is, beyond any doubt, used on screen. The Mokes' registration numbers were normally covered by a plate reading “Taxi” but on one occasion they were left off by mistake and HLT can clearly be seen in the episode entitled ‘Living in Harmony’ driven by actor David Bauer as No.2. The car itself is seen extensively being driven by McGoohan in numerous episodes notably 'Arrival' and 'Many Happy Returns'.After filming concluded in 1967, the Moke fleet was dissipated and the history of HLT up until 2011 is largely unknown. What is known, however, is that it spent some time in the Sheffield area in the early 1970s, and that later in the decade it was privately exported to The Netherlands. The vehicle resurfaced several years ago, having been found in a barn in Holland, and returned to the UK where it was sold at auction in 2015. Its buyer was our vendor Phil Caunt together with his friend and fellow Moke enthusiast Jeremy Guy. At that time, its condition could be best described as challenging. The engine was not functioning, and the bodywork was in a dire state, but at least the roof and, crucially, the Penny Farthing motif on the bonnet were in situ. The latter was created by McGoohan as “an ironic symbol of progress”.Over the following two years Phil with the invaluable assistance of various specialists, laboured to restore the Moke to the wonderful condition in which you find it today. “The mechanical side was relatively easy,” he says, “but I wanted to keep as much of the original body as possible. Given the state of the car, it would have been easier to buy a new shell, but that would have undermined the authenticity of the car.” The entire structure was acid-dipped, resulting in the once Spruce Green engine bay now being coloured white.From our vendor. "The Chassis (Bodyshell) was substantially rotten when discovered in 2011, During my restoration as much of the original shell as possible, including the bulkhead, was built into the replacement panels that make up the bodyshell ,as well as the front bulkhead, the windscreen frame, bonnet, cross-member, 2 seats, dash and other parts were repaired and used. The roof frame is original but the back vertical frame is a replacement, obviously all the vinyl has been replaced (I had to have this printed myself as no-one supplies it any more). The number plates are original from 1965 as is the iconic Penny Farthing logo on the bonnet.”In terms of the interior, the car did come with some vestiges of the Wood & Pickett ‘wood’ trim remaining but “It resembled Click here for more details and images

An absolutely stunning example of the coveted 3.3-litre 964 Turbo.In current ownership for 16 yearsExtensive history and expenditureLimited use in recent years, kept for dry days onlyFastidious ownershipFollowing the roaring success of the 930-era 911 was always going to be a challenge for Porsche, though with the 964 of 1989, it’s safe to say they not only met, but exceeded their expectations.Representing a significant redesign over the preceding generation, yet retaining trademark 911 styling cues such as the classic sloping front end and iconic side profile, the Carrera 4 and Carrera 2 models were introduced in 1989 and 1990 respectively, with an air-cooled M64 3.6-litre flat-six engine. Interestingly, the 964 era was the first 911 generation to offer the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 model in the lineup, and also the first to employ the automatic Tiptronic transmission as an option for those looking for a more relaxed driving experience.Further updates over the 930 included the fitment of power steering and ABS as standard, signifiant revisions to the suspension setup with coil springs and shock absorbers replacing the torsion bar setup of its predecessor, and the front and rear bumpers were integrated with the body shell for improved aesthetics and aerodynamics.With the success of the C2 and C4 models came the introduction of the coveted Turbo model in 1990, offering all of the aforementioned 964 upgrades, but featuring a revised version of the 3.3-litre turbocharged flat-six engine found in the 930 Turbo due to Porsche not having enough R&D time to implement a turbocharged version of the M64 engine seen in the C2 and C4. Nonetheless, the engine had been significantly upgraded and fettled to sit within buyers expectations, with the result being a power output of 316bhp.This particular 964 Turbo is an early 3.3-litre, UK-delivered, C16, sunroof-fitted car finished in Guards Red, a colour which is not only synonymous with the 911 Turbo, but also suits the flowing lines of the 964 very well indeed. In the care of its current owner for an impressive 16 years, this 964 Turbo has been the recipient of extensive work throughout its lifetime, and has covered less than 6,000 miles within the last 10 years, as evidenced by the MOT history.Within the history folder is a reassuring quantity of OPC and Porsche Specialist invoices, pertaining to both service work and minor maintenance carried out on the vehicle, with the earliest invoices dating back to 1999, and the stamped service record stretching back to when the car was new.Whilst in its current ownership, the car has been serviced semi-regularly, and highlights of other work carried out include the following:Upgraded Bilstein/H&R supensionFront seat re-trim to factory specification, with new carpets fitted throughoutNew sunroof seals and stone guardsNew front discs and rear tyresIn addition to the above, the car has also been resprayed in its factory Guards Red paintwork to a very high standard during 2007, and remains in excellent condition to this day thanks to a combination of fastidious ownership and low mileage covered since the paintwork took place. Offering the opportunity to obtain a highly coveted yet usable example of the classic 964 Turbo finished in arguably one of the best factory colour schemes available, this 1991-registered example benefits from long-term ownership and an impressive history folder, and will appeal to collectors, enthusiasts and drivers alike.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911Year: 1991Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ96ZMS471886Registration Number: J547 JFMTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 61M02901Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 90261 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Linen LeatherClick here for more details and images

A rare, UK-supplied, right-hand drive example of Porsche's legendary 356C.A rare UK-supplied, right-hand drive example of the legendary 356CBuilt on the 20th of January 1965 and UK-registered on the 1st of April 1965Originally finished in Bali Blue with black leather and registered to AFN Ltd. as a demonstratorOptioned from new with an OAT gauge, oil pressure gauge, St Christopher medallion, radio and speakers, lap seat-belts, Hella fog lights and headrestsThe second owner was a Mr H J Garland who owned the car right through until 2019, using it frequently up until 1980 when it was dry storedEngine sent to Germany for a rebuild at this time. Only around 400 miles sinceRepainted Orange and then latterly treated to a coat of Ford Anchor BluePurchased by our vendor in 2019 and gently recommissioned; fuel system, brakes, electrics, ignition and all fluids Supplied with a Porsche CoA and the original number plate will remain on the vehicleWidely acknowledged as Porsche's first venture into motor manufacturing, the 356 was a lightweight and nimble rear engined, rear-wheel-drive, two-door sporting car available in hardtop coupé and open configurations. Over a 15-year production period, the 356 evolved from an aluminium bodied coupé with an 1100cc air-cooled flat-four engine, to a proper sports car with a 2,000cc four-cam Carrera engine producing 130 bhp.At first glance, the 356C, introduced in mid-1963, differed little from the prior 356B since it continued to use the T-6 body type which had arrived in 1962. Porsche, however, brought the 356 concept to its zenith with the 356C, which was available in coupe and cabriolet form. The new 356 also benefited from the addition of Dunlop four-wheel disc brakes as standard, a higher-lift camshaft for the 1600cc engine, new flat-face hubcaps, and deeper bucket seats. These seats came courtesy of Porsche's acquisition of Reutter, which included the future Recaro subsidiary. 356 production peaked at 14,151 cars in 1964 which was the first year the new 911 model went on the market. Porsche did, however, continue to sell the 356C in North America through to the end of 1965. In 2004 the US magazine 'Sports Car International' named the 356C number ten on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s. Today the Porsche 356 is a well-regarded collector's car that has stood the test of time and worldwide, thousands of 356 owners maintain the tradition, preserving their cars and driving them regularly.This particular car, MMU 95C, is a rare example indeed being a UK-supplied, right-hand drive car manufactured on the 20th of January 1st 1965 and registered on the 1st of April 1965. It was originally finished in Bali Blue with a Black leather interior and registered to AFN Ltd. as a demonstrator, and there is a sales record from AFN confirming the details. Chassis 131867 / Engine P.813597 / Ignition/door key K302 / Gear lock Key FE63 and Glove Box Key GZ365. The AFN stock number was 4.027.135 with registration number MMU 95C. The car was optioned from new with an outside air temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, St Christopher medallion on the glove box, radio and speakers, lap seat-belts, Hella fog lights and head rests.The second owner was a Mr H J Garland who owned the car right through until his passing in 2019 and used it frequently up until 1980 when it was stored on blocks but regularly had the engine turned over. Mr Garland also decided to have the engine rebuilt at around the same time and this was sent off to Germany to be done and the car has only covered 400 odd miles since it was returned and refitted. He had the car painted Orange during his ownership and then latterly back to Ford Anchor Blue, an attractive hue which it still displays today. There are details within the file of work carried out by AFN, relating to services and some body repairs, (front near side wing ) the requirement for which is detailed in a book “From Chain Drive to Turbocharger, The AFN Story” by Dennis Jenkinson, page 176 at which point the Porsche was being driven by John Aldington of AFN when the accident occurred.Since our vendor has owned the car (2019) the 356 has been totally recommissioned to including the whole fuel system, brakes all refurbished with calipers and pads being replaced and all fluids changed . Electrically the car has been gone through making sure all items work and the ignition system has been overhauled at the same time.

UK-supplied to the first of just two owners covering 9,130 miles between them and serviced only at Porsche main dealers.A facelift Carrera 2 supplied by HR Owen Hatfield in Arctic Silver to the first of just two registered keepersWith a larger 3.6ltr engine than the earlier 996 model with updated lights and bumpersAluminium touches on the handbrake lever and Tiptronic selector as well as Porsche-branded stainless-steel door entry guardsThe odometer reading of 9,130 miles (atoc) is complemented by a service history at only Porsche main dealersThe history file includes purchase paperwork, correspondence and invoices totalling more than £6,000The original owner’s book pack also accompanies the car, including PCM manual, tracker handbook and Porsche assistance handbookPresented to auction with a fresh MOT, two keys, aforementioned detailed history file and now ready for its next adventure.The 996 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 model manufactured and sold between 1998 and 2005. On its debut, the 996 featured the most significant changes to the Carrera model since its 1963 introduction, namely the water-cooled engine replacing the previously air-cooled unit. Progressively stringent noise regulations, environmental concerns, a higher expectation for refinement and a high-performance, four-valve per cylinder engine made the switch necessary. Other changes included a sleeker body with a more steeply raked windshield and a redesigned interior. The performance characteristics remained superb with reliability at its core. The Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2001 bought the most significant changes to the 996. Inaddition to a more powerful 3.6 litre engine and styling changes to the existing model range, therewere two new models – the C4S and Targa. Visually, the main change to the Carrera 2 and 4 was to the front wings and lights, incorporating those from the Turbo model which was introduced in 2001. This gave it a noticeably different front-end look to the Boxster, as it was a common comment that they looked too similar. The front and rear bumpers were modified to give a ‘skirt’ effect around the bottom edges, giving them a slightly more aggressive appearance. Engine capacity was enlarged from 3387cc to 3596cc and there was a resulting power increase from 300bhp to 320bhp at 6800rpm. Maximum torque was up from 258ft/lb at 4600 to 273 ft/lb at 4250rpm. Supplied by HR Owen Hatfield in Arctic Silver with black leather interior to the first of just two registered keepers who between them have covered some 9,130 miles, at the time of cataloguing, and returning to Porsche main dealers for servicing.

Delightfully presented 280SL 'Pagoda' from long-term ownership.Original UK RHD car with an extensive history file including nearly 40 older MOT Certificates and detailed service records supporting the indicated mileage of 84,754With its last owner for almost 24 years, during which time the service history was fastidiously maintained including an engine and gearbox rebuild by renowned specialistsClassically presented in Midnight Blue with a matching factory hardtop and recently renewed navy blue soft topRecent new interior in beige which included a rear seat option being fittedFreshly serviced including plugs, leads, points and tappets.All the qualities that made Pagodas so desirable in their heyday remain today - chic styling, Teutonic build quality, and predictable handlingThe Mercedes-Benz 280SL 'Pagoda' (W113) was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production through until February 1971 before being replaced by its successor, the entirely new and substantially heavier R107 350SL. Over the years, the W113 had quietly evolved from a nimble 'sports car' into a comfortable 'Grand Tourer' and was usually equipped with four-speed automatic transmission and air conditioning. The final evolution of the Pagoda was the 280SL, launched in November 1967 with a host of technical improvements, and is now seen as the most refined iteration of the W113 Series with its robust new seven-bearing, 2778cc, M130 engine developing 170bhp and perfectly suiting the automatic transmission. By the time production ceased in March 1971, some 23,885 had been made making the 280SL the most popular of all W113 variants.The fabulous 280SL on offer here is an original, UK-supplied right-hand drive car elegantly presented in Midnight Blue with a matching factory hardtop and recently renewed Navy Blue soft top. The interior has recently been superbly retrimmed in Cream leather with Light Biscuit carpets piped in cream and, unusually, it's been fitted with a rear seat (California-style) where the parcel shelf was.First registered in 1968, it has been enjoyed by just three owners prior to our vendor who acquired the Mercedes in 1998 and during those 23 years has fastidiously maintained it including an engine and gearbox rebuild by well-regarded specialists. The current indicated mileage of 84,574 is supported by detailed service records and nearly 40 older MOT Certificates. We understand that it's recently been serviced including plugs, leads, points and tappets. The Cherished Registration number 86 BPO will remain on the car.With decent performance and excellent brakes, these cars are totally happy in modern traffic making them a perfectly usable Classic in the true sense of the word. The 280SL has never gone out of fashion but interest - and values - have never been stronger than they are today.

A really lovely XJS 'Celebration, only two owners and just 15,000 miles.A late production 'Celebration' from the last year of productionA beautiful combination of Ice Blue over an Oatmeal leather interior with Burr Elm woodworkJust two owners from new with just less than 15,000 miles showing on the odometerMost recently serviced on 18/08/2021 at 14,800 milesSupplied with an original book pack with the service record containing 15 stamps and its original Bill of Sale for £36,910 from January 1996Launched in September 1975 as a replacement for the E-Type, the XJS could only cheat time for so long and, in 1991, parent company Ford thoroughly reworked the luxury Grand Tourer at a cost of £50 million. Incorporating some 40 percent new panels, the rejuvenated model range sported a revised grille, headlamps, tail-lights, bumpers and rear wings. Its cabin, meanwhile, gained a new walnut facia and improved sports seats. The new version was powered by either a punchy straight-six (3980cc) or a soporific V12 (5343cc) engine; the former DOHC unit developed some 223bhp and 283lbft of torque. Featuring a five-speed manual transmission as standard, the 4.0-litre XJS could also be had with a four-speed automatic gearbox. Capable of over 140mph, the model proved to be a refined and relaxing drive, and production continued until 1996. The 'Celebration' was the final iteration of Jaguar's XJ-S (later XJS). Its unique specification was in recognition of 60 years of the Jaguar brand and included chromed rear view mirrors and headlight surrounds; 'Aerosport' diamond-cut alloy wheels, steering wheel with wood sections top and bottom separated by leather on the sides and airbag, the wooden selector lever for the automatic transmission, the black handbrake lever with full leather cover, a Jaguar "leaper" embossed into the leather in the upper part of the seat backs, and contrasting piping around the seats and boot cover. This particular example of the 4.0 Celebration was registered on the 1st of January 1996 to its first owner who passed away in 2006 at which point the car became the property of the gentleman’s step son and has been owned by him ever since. Finished in Ice Blue Metallic with a complementing Oatmeal Leather interior, this very special car has travelled a mere 15,000 miles from new and has been cossetted all its life. It's supplied with an original bill of sale from the first owner (£36,910), the original handbook and stamped service book showing evidence of fifteen stamps with the last service being carried out at 14,800 miles on the 18th of August this year (2021).The alloy wheels have just been refurbished and are wrapped in, as new, rubber and the car is presented in superb condition overall with working Cruise Control, Air Conditioning and Electric Seats. Where else can you find a sub-15,000 mile 4.0 Celebration? This elegant Jaguar will not disappoint and is sure to grace any collection. The Celebration brochure from 1995 states "A car offering more excitement, distinction and value for money than ever before", equally true today.

Stunning, previously-restored and backdated TJ with TG 12/50 bodywork.Previously restored with replica four-seat Cross & Ellis bodyworkUsed sparingly and mechanically excellentRebuilt steering box - a must on any 12/50 of the periodBackdated aesthetically to represent a TJ, but retaining its TG underpinningsA seminal model for the Alvis Car Company, the 12/50 was introduced in 1923, and lasted in production through various revisions until 1932. Featuring a number of inline-four engine configurations ranging from 1.5 to 1.65 litres in displacement, the 12/50 in all its forms quickly earned itself a reputation as a fantastic car for the discerning motorist, with its speed and reliability boosting sales significantly in period.Initially replaced in 1927 by the inline-six engined, 1870cc 14.75hp, the subsequent depression going into the 1930s forced the need for a cheaper car with a reputation for reliability, and Alvis re-introduced the 12/50 in late 1930. These cars - the so-called ‘revival’ TJ and TL models - featured a harmonically-balanced crankshaft, coil ignition, lower springs and a taller body, enabling them to be quickly identified by knowing enthusiasts.This particular ‘revival’ 1931-registered TJ 12/50 has undergone significant restoration in the past, having started out life as a fawn-coloured Cross & Ellis - bodied two-seater with red wire wheels and a red leather interior. Delivered new to a Mr Frank Wood of Birmingham by Birmingham’s Alvis agent Frank Hallams, the car ‘disappeared’ for numerous years, before turning up in a rather sorry state in Helensburgh, having been apparently converted into a ‘special’ and partly restored.The owner then chose to completely re-body the car and back-date it to an earlier ‘TG’ four-seat model with replica Cross & Ellis bodywork, in order to benefit from both a level of weatherproofing and also the earlier, arguably prettier bodywork with its shorter radiator. This work was carried out to the highest standard by well-known specialist Richard Breese, who also thoroughly overhauled and reconditioned the chassis and running gear. New white metalling and a crank re-grind was carried out by Cotswold engineering, and a big power 1645 head fitted to the engine, along with a new manifold, stainless steel exhaust and a rebuilt Marles steering box.The original Fawn-over-red colour combination was replaced with matching dark blue bodywork and upholstery, with the trim work being carried out by Anne Taylor including a full dark blue interior, matching tonneau cover, full wet-weather hood and side screens.Particularly detail-oriented viewers will also be delighted to note that the instruments are period-correct, and the car has the correct Hare mascot.Regularly maintained by Red Triangle and presenting in very good condition throughout, this is a wonderfully attractive and useable example of the ‘revival’ special Alvis, which also benefits from an aesthetically-pleasing colour combination and backdated bodywork. An excellent collectors car that can be enjoyed year-round.SpecificationMake: ALVISModel: 12/50 BREESE BODIED 4-SEAT TOURERYear: 1931Chassis Number: 8978Registration Number: VC 8668Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 9914Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Blue LeatherClick here for more details and images

A very smart example of the legendary Defender 90 in the popular XS specification and fitted with a galvanised chassis.Supplied new to the first of just two former keepers on 28th September 2007Used on a private estate and then subsequently dry-stored until 2021The 2.4-litre turbocharged diesel engine is mated to a six-speed manual gearboxSpecification includes front electric windows and half-leather seating for fourThe two full seats in the rear are foldable, increasing the rear load bay significantlyFitted with limited edition SVX Anniversary dual tone alloy wheels and LED headlight kitBenefitting from a galvanised chassis and five recently fitted brand new tyresFreshly serviced with an MOT valid until July 2022 and an odometer reading of 48,500 miles (atoc)A good example of the eminently capable Defender 90 with XS trim for use in town or country.An icon for over 68 years, production of Land Rover's Defender ceased in January 2016 with more than two million models built since the original Series 1 arrived in 1948. Never has there been a car that has so captured the imagination of the world. Land Rovers have saved lives, won wars, delivered aid and hope, conveyed Kings and Queens and numerous Popes, ferried injured animals from the lowliest sheep to the proudest lion to safety. The Land Rover has conquered ravines, deserts and snow, broken records and along the way won the hearts of millions.For 2007, the Defender benefitted from a serious revamp with a new common-rail diesel EU4-compliant engine from the Ford Transit, a new six-speed gearbox, new facia, new seats and a heating and ventilation system that actually works. The XS specification from 2007 included electric windows to the front, half-leather seating and a fancier dashboard than standard. Land Rover had acknowledged that perhaps not all Defenders were destined for muddy tracks, rivers and moorland, and those drivers that did have a Labrador as a front-seat companion might find it convenient to open the passenger window at the touch of a button. The Defender 90 in XS specification offered perhaps the best affordable combination of drivability, passenger comfort for four and rear load capacity when required due to the foldable seats. The Defender 90 is also far easier to park than its longer wheelbase sibling, the 110, and the Defender is as popular in town as it is in the country.Supplied new to the first of just two former keepers on 28th September 2007, this Defender 90 XS was used on a large private estate for the first ten years or so before being dried stored until purchased by our vendor, the car’s third owner, on the 21st June 2021. Intended for country pursuits, our vendor swiftly concluded that the Land Rover was “too good” for his intentions and presents the car to auction with a fresh fluid service and five brand new tyres on SVX anniversary dual tone alloy wheels. Greater illumination is provided via the LED headlight kit, which are a welcome bonus compared to the original headlights. The odometer reading is some 48,500 miles at the time of cataloguing.Whilst there are fancier, and substantially more expensive, examples on the market, this unassuming Defender 90 XS offers a multitude of uses on either turf or tarmac at a sensible estimate.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: DEFENDER 90Year: 2007Chassis Number: SALLDVBS77A743193Registration Number: DY57 WXKClick here for more details and images
