Lot 412
Rare and desirable R V8 with less than 23,000 miles from long-term ownership.The MG RV8 was a hugely important step in the 1990s rebirth of MG Cars after more than a decade of only producing saloons and hatchbacks. Since Abingdon's closure in 1980, the illustrious MG badge had been reserved for the Metro, Maestro and Montego and, although these cars were worthy, what enthusiasts really wanted was a new MG roadster. In 1992, 12 years after the last MG sports car had rolled off the Abingdon production lines, Austin-Rover made the inspired decision to revive this most charismatic of British marques by introducing an entirely new model - the MG RV8.In creating the RV8, Rover very cleverly used a combination of off-the-shelf parts, such as the Range Rover's V8 engine and British Motor Heritage's MGB bodyshell. So, in this reincarnation of the MGB, the rubber bumper specification body was utilised and modified to accept a new set of beautifully curvaceous outer panels. The 3.9-litre Range Rover EFi V8 engine developed 188bhp and gave the RV8 enough power to crack 0-60 mph in just under six seconds which, even today, is pretty impressive. A 5-speed LT77 gearbox, derived from the Rover SD1 was used along with a new Salisbury axle. Very significant modifications were made to the suspension and brakes to bring the car up to date and the interior featured soft leather in Stone Beige and a Burr Elm facia and door cappings.The RV8 was shown at the 1993 Tokyo Motor Show creating a huge demand which resulted in nearly 1,600 examples (of the 1,983 total) being exported to Japan. Despite (or maybe because of) the RV8 being based on a 30-year old model, its classic status was assured from the day it was unveiled, and with less than 2,000 examples built between 1992 and 1995, the cars are now much sought after. No RV8s were ever sold in the US and consequently they are all right-hand drive.We believe that 1,583 RV8s went to Japan initially, but such has been the growing demand in recent years in the UK, that many have been sourced in Japan and returned to the these shores to join the 307 originally sold here. This delightful example did indeed travel to Japan but was not purchased second-hand over there as it was never sold in the first place. It was a very late production car fitted with air-conditioning (non-standard in the UK) but perhaps it arrived in Japan after demand had dwindled and was never registered, subsequently, returning home some months later prior to being bought by a doctor for his wife and registered in late 1999. It was purchased by its present owner, our vendor, in 2008 with excellent Woodcote Green paintwork but under the bonnet a number of the plated items had deteriorated necessitating a full strip and cosmetic reconditioning and replating. At the same time, the underbody was also repainted to achieve a perfect appearance and, whilst stripped, all brake pipes, calipers etc. were reconditioned, the car was 'poly-bushed', and a set of adjustable Spax Shocks were fitted as were four new tyres. Some corrosion to the screen frame was attended to with a new frame and screen supplied by Clive Wheatley. At the time of cataloguing, the odometer was indicating 22,858 miles.This superb RV8 has formed part of a private collection in recent years and, unlike many 'museum' exhibits, our fastidious vendor enjoys keeping his collection in absolutely top form. We encourage interested parties to take the opportunity to come and view this impressively presented MG.

Lot 455
On offer from the Piddington Collection, formerly the property of Ron Hickman, the South African-born, Jersey-based automobile designer and inventor responsible for the original Elan, the +2 and the Europa but best known for creating the Black and Decker 'Workmate'.Ron Hickman grew up in Greytown in Natal province, South Africa and from an early age he was passionate about motor cars, carving models of them in wood and sketching them for their owners. On leaving school, he trained in law for six years in the Department of Justice but retained an ambition to style cars that could not be realised in South Africa. So in 1954, he borrowed £100 from his father and set off for London. He soon found a job with Ford in Dagenham as a clay modeller in the styling department and seven months later he became a stylist on the 105E Anglia.In 1956, Hickman, whose ambitions lay beyond styling 'worthy' saloons for Ford, 'bumped into' Lotus founder Colin Chapman at the Earls Court Motor Show. As we know, Chapman was a brilliantly gifted engineer whose early competition cars were enjoying success but he was in need of ingenious, energetic characters such as Ron to help get his ambitious new Elite road car into production. Brought in as a production engineer with Lotus in North London, Ron became a general manager and eventually a director, however, the Elite proved to be a false start. It was beautiful to look at and drive but too complicated to build and too frail in service to have the mass appeal Chapman was looking for. Something more practical was needed.The Elan, introduced in 1962, is arguably the finest of Chapman's road cars and it was Hickman, working alongside John Frayling, who got it into production. The car skilfully blended Grand Prix-inspired engineering finesse – ultra-stiff backbone chassis, all-independent suspension, disc brakes and a lusty twin overhead camshaft engine – with off-the-shelf components from the parts bins of the big manufacturers. This approach saved money and simplified production, the Elan's engine block was borrowed from the Ford Classic and the steering rack from the prosaic Triumph Herald; yet this tiny 1600cc two-seater was so light and perfectly balanced that it could accelerate as quickly as Jaguar's current E-Type.The Elan, with Hickman's light uni-mould glass-fibre body, brought the thrills of single-seat racing car handling to the road driver who could muster £1,200, or less if he built it from a kit. Its handling is still unsurpassed and the backbone chassis, conceived by Hickman as a temporary measure for developing the car's suspension, formed the basis of every subsequent Lotus of the classic era. As well as devising the car's famous vacuum-operated pop-up headlamps and its distinctive bumpers, Hickman is attributed with having come up with its name – by looking through the ‘E’ section of the dictionary.Ron left Lotus in 1967 to start his own design company and develop the 'Workmate'. Black & Decker eventually signed an exclusive manufacturing deal in 1972 for his Mark II version, with a lightweight foldable alloy frame so it could be stowed in the boot of a car, but by then Hickman had already sold 14,000 Workmates by mail order. Even with a comparatively low 3% royalty, Hickman soon joined the tax-exile bracket, moving in 1977 to Jersey, where he built a modernist villa with views of St Brelade's Bay and filled it with his own labour-saving gadgets. In 1994 he was honoured with an OBE.This gorgeous Lagoon Blue Sprint DHC, KXC 67F, was purchased directly by Ron on 27th November 1996 in its currently restored state from the restorer Neil Myers, shipped to Jersey, popped into Ron’s garage and only used occasionally. It must have felt rather special to open his garage doors and see two of his creations, the Elan and the Workmate side by side knowing that both had received worldwide acclaim.The car was purchased from the Hickman family by our vendor on the 9th March 2021 and, although it remained exactly as it was post-restoration, it was given a very light recommission by Neil Myers upon its return to the UK and prior to joining the Piddington Collection.In common with the other Elans on offer today, KXC 67F retains its original chassis, body and engine and naturally your inspection of this important Elan is welcomed.It's accompanied an original Elan tool kit, Certificate of Vehicle Provenance, spare keys, 2 copies of the Elan Sprint Owners Handbook, lots of photographs and acres of interesting correspondence, as you might expect from the man who designed the Elan. A goldmine for Lotus enthusiasts.SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ELAN SPRINT DROPHEAD COUPÉ 'RON HICKMAN'Year: 1971Chassis Number: 7108180446GRegistration Number: KXF 67KTransmission: ManualEngine Number: N24850Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 13774 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black VinylClick here for more details and images

1989 Volkswagen Golf GTI 1.8 litre 3 door hatchback Original specification hot hatch with comprehensive history file Registration: F386 TWP Chassis: WVWZZZ19ZJW668007 Odometer: 121000 Transmission: Manual MOT: 9th February 2024 No Reserve . Fitted with factory tilt /slide sunroof . Optional BBS alloy wheel . Original interior and dashboard without any cracks . Two sets of keys . Fully documented history from 1998 until 2005 . Full book pack including service book . Comprehensive history file Outside On the whole the exterior of this car looks good with no scratches, dents or corrosion to the bodywork, however the car has been subject to a repaint at some point in its past which hasn't been done to the highest standard. In some areas the silver paint work looks a little flat and isn't as smooth to the touch as it should be. This shouldn't detract from what is a very good car and would be an excellent car one the paintwork has been addressed. All the plastics are good with no damage, marks or scratches. The 15" BBS alloy wheels look great and are shod with excellent matching tyres all around. Inside The cloth seats are in excellent order with only a small sign of wear on the drivers seat base bolster where the bolster is slightly thread bare in an area around 5 mm in size. The car comes with electric windows and a modern stereo. All carpets are in good order as is the headlining and the parcel shelf is still present and free from any speaker holes. The doors have that familiar heavy feel and pleasing shut noise only found on VW's from this era. Mechanics The torquey 8 valve engine starts and runs well, and the driving experience is a pleasure. Everything feels tight and solid just like a Golf should, the only fault being a temperamental cheap aftermarket alarm system which means the hazard lights sometimes come on. We feel it would be better removed. History Supplied new under lease to Banque Paribas it remained with them until circa 1991. It then passed to another owner before being acquired by William Barnaby of Kilmarnock in 1998 who kept the car until 2005 during which time kept a fastidious log of all works carried out along with the relevant invoices. The car comes complete with a full book pack, comprehensive service history and two sets of keys. Our Opinion Rare to find an example that has not been modified and messed about with. Our car offers and inexpensive route into the vibrant VW scene.
