Number 246 of only 390 allocated to the UK and, at 41,876 miles, this lovely, original example is surely one of the lowest mileage and best-preserved examples currently available. It’s the early 1990s and the 1.8-litre Clio 16v is locked in combat for hot-hatch glory with the ageing Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9. It’s a better car by many objective criteria, but not a convincingly faster one and, in the eyes of many, the GTi still holds the crown. It took a truly special car to convincingly wrestle supremacy away from Peugeot, to really bury the old-timer and to refine the class in the process. That car was the Clio Williams.Sold with the compelling marketing strategy of an F1 team association (celebrating Alain Prost's fourth F1 title in 1993 with Williams, which used Renault engines at the time), the Williams was actually an 'homologation special' in the familiar mould. It was built because RenaultSport wanted to go rallying and the class maximum displacement stood at 2.0-litres. Given this was still the era of homologation into Classes A and N, Renault simply had to build 2,500 road cars to qualify, although it would eventually build many more. The initial production run of the Clio Williams was limited to just 5,400 examples, of which only 390 arrived in the UK.Naturally, RenaultSport did a thorough job. The suspension used a reinforced front subframe borrowed from the Clio Cup racer, plus uprated springs, dampers, rear torsion arms and thicker anti-roll bars. The track was increased by 34mm and the 7J Speedline alloys were half-an-inch wider than the 16v’s and distinctively gold. The gearbox was stronger, too, with revised ratios. There was just one exterior colour offered for the first generation of Williams – ‘449’ Metallic Sports Blue – and the cumulative effect of body (already blistered of arch, front, and rear, and bulging of bonnet from the 16v), paint and those golden wheels was as close to hot-hatch perfection as many felt it was possible to get. It's a small car with a wheel pushed to the very extremity of each corner; a little shorter, slightly wider, and significantly lower than a Clio 172 or 182.Codenamed ‘F7R’ and developed from the 16v’s 137bhp F7P unit, the new engine featured a longer stroke and bigger bore size and benefitted from a stronger crankshaft (borrowed from the diesel Clio) plus new pistons, camshafts and conrods, with bigger valves and a lightweight exhaust manifold. Output was now 148bhp at 6,100rpm and 126lb/ft at 4,500rpm, not enormous by today's standards but 85% of the torque was available from 2,500rpm and the car only weighed 981kg. The original Clio Williams (‘Phase 1’) was the lightest incarnation of model, lacking the electrics necessary for the sunroof or the mirrors, and was the only one to support a metal plaque stating the build number. The factory specification included central locking, electric windows, and blue-faced instrument dials with three co-ordinating blue auxiliary read-outs atop the centre console displaying the oil level, temperature and pressure – all very purposeful.The car presented here is a 1994 Renault Clio Williams, #0264 of the original production run known as ‘Phase 1’. It was one of only 390 examples allocated to the UK and was delivered new by Renault main dealer, Taylor & Ackroyd of Halifax, in February 1994. It was pre-registered by Renault with zero mileage covered and was purchased new, along with a second example, by Clifton Garage of York. It was initially registered in the company’s name (up until 1998), with all servicing carried out 'in-house' before being purchased from his company and registered personally (V5C records confirms). This owner was also the proprietor of a Hyundai dealership in York, which then offered #0264 for sale and it was sold to its second private owner (original sale invoice confirms) in 1998. The new owner then had a Gemini alarm/immobiliser fitted, which is the only non-Renault part on the whole car.#0264 was driven and maintained by him, accompanied by all invoices up until 2005, when it went into a personal garage, where it stayed until 2017. During this period the car was regularly checked and run-up and, in 2017, it was returned to the road with the only work required to pass an MOT being a new steering rack and brake callipers. For the next five years or so it was only used occasionally covering around 1,000 miles per year and not having had an MOT advisory since. In December 2021, the clutch and timing-belt were replaced, along with routine full service. The indicated mileage at the time of cataloguing was 41,876.It's accompanied by the original book-pack, including the service booklet, an original PDI inspection sheet, numerous maintenance receipts and a huge file of paperwork to verify all the above, with all pre-2005 MOT Certificates present to verify the mileage.Small, but important, details like the correct coolant having always been used, the original stereo still present (and in full working-order), the suit-carrier parcel shelf remaining in A1 condition and the heat shields still being original, all pay testimony to the car’s diligent ownership and quality of condition. These very special performance hatchbacks are now rare, even rarer in this sort of original and unrestored condition, with only a handful of owners and a very worthy addition to any car collection based on its status, history and amazing state of conservation.

The original supercar killer, rightfully earning the title ‘Godzilla’, this low-mileage, very special R32 benefits from a host of period upgrades by JDM tuning gurus Kansai Service.There are very few cars that can earn world renowned nicknames due to their automotive prowess. To cite a few, we have RUF’s Yellowbird, Mercedes’ Hammer and Porsche’s 'Widow maker', but arguably the best and most iconic automotive nickname in history was given to the Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R, rightfully nicknamed ‘Godzilla’.The GT-R moniker was somewhat of a sacred cow for Nissan having discontinued it in 1973 following their Hakosuka and Kenmari Skylines, but Nissan revived it 16-years later with the introduction of the R32 Skyline. The car’s heart was Nissan’s hugely capable RB26DETT, a 2.6 litre, twin-turbocharged inline 6-cylinder DOHC engine producing the ‘Gentleman’s Agreement’ 276bhp and included all the latest electronic gadgetry including 4-wheel drive, HICAS all-wheel steering, and multi-link suspension. The Godzilla title was gained/earned for two reasons, firstly for its supercar killer performance on the road and secondly for its sheer domination on the racetrack winning every single race (29 out of 29) in the Japanese Grand Touring Championship between 1990 – 1994, as well as winning the 1991 Spa 24hr and Bathurst 1000 in 1991 and 1992 consecutively. Tour de Force doesn’t quite cut it, the R32 GT-R was simply unstoppable and unbeatable.The car culture in Japan is globally renowned for its passion for modification, enthusiasm for all cars, and unbridled ability to push the boat out. Throughout the 1990s, the tuner culture truly exploded in the Japanese car world with (now) infamous garages, workshops and brands popping up and growing notoriety such as Smokey Nagata’s ‘Top Secret’, Akira Nakai’s ‘RWB’, and brands/factions such as Nismo, Blitz, HKS and others.Kansai Service was, and still is, a tuning faction/division of performance part gurus, HKS Japan. They are a separate company with a longstanding close relationship with the founders of HKS, so naturally they use lots of HKS parts on their cars, although not exclusively. Their speciality is building reliable, dependable, and fast cars that are backed by a Kansai warranty with the aim of building 600-800bhp cars that would last 10+ years rather than 1,000bhp+ cars that would only last a month. They are known for great service, testing and record keeping for their clients’ cars.This 1993 R32 GT-R Kansai Service was purchased and imported by our vendor via BHP Imports in 2017 following a long hunt for the right car. As soon as it landed it was immediately detailed and undersealed to futureproof its 4B auction condition. It’s lived a pampered life in a temperature-controlled garage, never driven on a wet or salty road since being in the country, living alongside our vendors collection of JDM royalty. It's finished in Sonic Silver with a grey cloth interior and is one of the very few cars built and prepared by Kansai Service themselves, boasting an almighty specification list. To the naked eye, the car appears to be totally standard, short of the Advan AVS VS5 wheels and small ‘Kansai Service’ badge, however with its Kansai Service treatment it's been quietly tuned and tweaked as they know best, primarily using HKS parts, to produce a very reliable 490whp, approximately 600bhp at the crank. In addition to the mechanical upgrades, the interior benefits from Nissan installed upgraded door and rear parcel shelf speakers, with a Kenwood minidisc player as a head unit.Even with the novel-length upgrade list, the driveability, comfort, and somewhat unassuming looks are all retained, despite having enough power to embarrass most things on the road, even by today’s standards. All these things add up to help this GT-R retain its Godzilla title in fantastic style, including retaining the HICAS system that many remove due to poor maintenance.Within the history file there are two sets of keys, a fabulous amount of JDM service history including booklets, invoices, Nissan and Nismo paperwork and Owner’s Handbooks. UK history includes DVLA/registration correspondence, invoices for parts/servicing and MOTs. The mileage is a verified total of 71,750km (44,600 miles), the car was imported with a documented speedometer change at 57,000km for more suitable 320kph items. The car has been kept in kilometres and now reads 16,003km.The specification list is truly exceptional, using the best parts available, to create an R32 that perfectly encapsulates the tuning scene of the 1990s. The known upgrades are as follows, which we state as ‘known’ due to only listing what we have documentation for:- HKS LC turbochargers (full HKS fitting kit with reinforced actuators)- HKS exhaust manifold- HKS intercooler- HKS intercooler piping kit- HKS evc/boost controller- Nismo 8.5 twin plate clutch- Nismo solid shifter assembly- Tomei camshafts- HKS cam pulleys- HKS mushroom intakes- HKS Kansai lower brace kit- Kansai upper front and rear brace- HKS Kansai transmission collar- HKS turbo timer- DEFI Gauges in centre console- HKS pillow ball tension rods- New Nismo floor mats- HKS exhaust- Genuine removable Nissan rear window tint screen- New Meister R coilovers supplied and fitted by RB Motorsport in 2021- HKS Sports coilovers that the car came on are also included.- 17" Advan AVS VS5 alloys with AD08R semi-slick tyres with almost new tread depth.These special Japanese sports cars from the 1990s are soaring in popularity, and rightly so. Good, low mileage, and special examples are hard to find yet they do exist as you see here. Suitable for any enthusiast or collector alike, this Kansai Service car is truly very special, and R32s are definitely underappreciated, especially in relation to the R34 GT-R, Subaru 22Bs/P1s and special Mitsubishi Evos. These JDM legends are rightly becoming highly desirable and are slowly making their way into the best car collections across the globe, and rarely do we see an R32 of this mileage, quality and calibre on the market making this a superb opportunity.SpecificationMake: NISSANModel: SKYLINE R32 GT-R KANSAI SERVICEYear: 1993Chassis Number: BNR32303078Registration Number: K311 HRMTransmission: ManualEngine Number: RB26Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 57515 KMMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey ClothClick here for more details and images
The topical RS500 Cosworth, number 215 of 500, just over 23,000 miles and a comprehensive history file.The original Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was the first Ford to wear the Cosworth badge and was presented to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1985. It was introduced as a means of homologating their Sierra model for 'Group A' Touring Car racing, with a requirement that 5,000 cars were built and sold. Launched for sale in July 1986, and based on the three-door Sierra body-shell, it was designed by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) and was powered by a Cosworth-designed, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine of now-legendary repute. At the time, the Sierra Cosworth was a new kind of performance car - a 'blue-collar hero' able to humble true sports cars and was approachable and (almost) affordable for a family man. In total 5,545 cars were produced - of which 500 were sent to Aston Martin Tickford for conversion to the Sierra 'RS500 Cosworth'. Once Ford had built the requisite 5,000 RS Cosworths, Group A rules allowed an upgraded 'Evolution' model to be launched which featured further developments focused on improving its racing potential, provided Ford sold 10% of the original number as road cars, hence the 500. If the RS Cosworth was an 'homologation special', the RS500 could rightfully wear the "Evo" hat offering serious 'street cred' and with 224bhp, upgraded brakes, modified bodywork, dramatic spoilers and the cachet of being hand-assembled - the RS500 really is the ultimate 1980s Fast Ford!E321 EPD is Number 215 of the 500 cars built and was supplied new by Hartford Motors of Oxford and first registered on 3rd August 1987. It has recently spent much of its time in a large private Ford collection and when the car was photographed, prior to our sale, the odometer read 23,235 miles.RS500s have now become rather valuable and, in the interests of total transparency, we note the contents of a condition report dated 31st October 1991 written by Boddington, Mee Consulting Automotive Engineers of Nottingham which shows the odometer reading as 2,972 miles at the time and notes that there is slight damage to the N/S/F corner bumper mounting and “no sign of major accident damage”. With no other reference in the history file to any accident damage, it appears that the 1991 report accounts for why the car appears on some online car history check websites as “repaired and inspected after being previously written off”. We can’t find any other reference to this and our ‘go-to’ site for vehicle history, the internationally respected HPI, don’t mention this at all.The interior appears to be very original in its appearance with a slightly bowed rear parcel shelf, common in Fords of this age, no cracks in the dashboard and the seat facings show very little in the way of stretched material. The original Ford stereo unit with its matching amplifier is still in place and in good working order and the leather gear knob is only lightly worn. Interestingly, the car still retains its Ford exhaust pipe which has not been replaced, as so many have, by larger non-pattern parts. The car was professionally repainted in 2015 and presents well today with good shut lines and retains a deep gloss shine nicely highlighted by the correct pin-striping and RS500 decals.Most importantly, the car benefits from a comprehensive report carried out by the renowned RS specialist, Paul Linfoot, in October 2021. A copy of this accompanies the car (available to view by interested parties) and it certainly offers peace of mind to any potential purchaser. At the same time, Paul went through the engine bay to make sure it matched the rest of the car with new wing sealers fitted and other items changed where required. EPD is supplied with a comprehensive history file, a well-stamped service booklet and the original book pack along with many old MOTs supporting the indicated mileage.Anyone interested in the ownership of an RS500 will be aware of some recent surges in value and, as always, the ‘market’ will decide, however, we feel this lovely RS has been very sensibly guided.

Fitted with shelf in cab to double up as a bar. Constructed from original or patent OE equivalent 1950s T1 parts, including original lights and window rubbers and using period correct paint colours. Fitted with a wooden work surface, LED illuminated indictors, headlights and cab with remote control. All the panels were spot-welded where needed and welded to a frame to allow it to be wall-mounted. The split-screen panel with the Perspex windows had to be put in at a more acute angle than standard for it to look right, the side fillets are bespoke and not purchased front wings. Apart from that, everything else is exactly as it should be, even the mounting brackets for the bumper are the real thing. The huge VW badge was sourced from a company in Germany. The coachwork was by Baker Body Craft in Bury St Edmunds and the colours are genuine 1950s Volkswagen. With over 40 man-hours to complete, this is obviously a work of passion!This high-quality piece of modern art could grace the premises of a 'Splitty' aficionado, car collector or a Volkswagen dealership.
