1975 BMW 2002 Turbo `Ultimately what the car gives you is a tremendous sense of satisfaction and achievement, rewarding you when you get it right and letting you know in its own special way when you don't. I didn't realise that it would be quite so fast and so much fun. It is hard to get your head around the fact that this is a 35-year-old car - it is comfortable, fun to drive and quick even by today's standards. I'm just glad that beauty isn't always just skin deep' (Piston Heads Heroes: BMW 2002 Turbo, Ollie Stallwood). Introduced at the 1973 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 2002 Turbo was among the first models to be developed by BMW's legendary Motorport GmbH division and thus predates the M-series cars. Incorporating lessons learnt from the forced induction 2002 which had helped Dieter Quester win the 1969 European Touring Car Championship, the newcomer utilised a single KKK turbocharger to boost its fuel-injected 1990cc SOHC four-cylinder engine to 170bhp and 181lbft of torque. A four-speed manual gearbox was standard as was a limited slip differential but, as with Porsche's iconic 911 Carrera RS 2.7 of the same era, buyers could choose from a range of performance and comfort enhancing options such as a five-speed transmission, 6 x 13-inch alloy wheels and a lockable glove box lid etc! Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and 131mph, the 2002 Turbo featured a thicker front anti-roll bar, height adjustable rear springs, Bilstein shock absorbers and strengthened trailing arms, hubs and stub axles in comparison to its 2002 tii sibling. It also boasted vented front discs and larger rear drums plus its floorpan incorporated thicker front frame rails, reinforced rear suspension mounts, a bespoke front panel and altered boot floor. Wonderfully purposeful looking, the BMW sported a deep front air dam, boot lid mounted rubber spoiler and bolt-on wheel arch extensions (Motorsport stripes were an extra). Available in either Chamonix White or Polaris Silver both teamed with Black leatherette upholstery, the 2002 Turbo developed a reputation for catching novice drivers out. Of the 1,660 production versions made between January 1974 and July 1975 (plus 12 pre-production cars), just 500 or so are thought to have survived to the present day. Finished in Chamonix White with Black leatherette upholstery and the obligatory Red instrument surround, this particular 5-speed example - chassis number 4291125 - is presumed to have been supplied new to Italy. Resident there when acquired by its previous keeper fifteen years ago, the 2002 Turbo became a showroom exhibit for his long running and successful BMW dealership in Malaga (the Guarnieri Group also hold Porsche, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, McLaren and Pagani franchises). Looking over the car it is not hard to see how, or why, a BMW aficionado would fall for its charms. We would not pretend to be experts on the model but it does come across as being unusually original and well preserved with no obvious signs of accident damage or structural corrosion / repair that we could detect. Indeed, the vendor who acquired the 2002 Turbo during 2015 tells us UK marque specialist Munich Legends were of the opinion that the car's low odometer reading (currently 23,720km) was commensurate with the lack of internal engine wear they observed. Riding on period Campagnolo alloy wheels (complete with `C' logoed wheel nuts) and worthy of close inspection, this seemingly very low kilometrage BMW is offered for sale with a sales brochure, Munich Legends Inspection Service invoice (£1,057.86 / 26th April 2016), Spanish Historic Class Registration Document, Spanish MOT equivalent (ITV valid until 13th April 2019) and sundry paperwork.

1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Drophead Coupe PLEASE NOTE: Although offered with a V5 Registration Document, this vehicle has an 'export' marker recorded against it with the DVLA. Always keen to present customers with as much choice as possible, Rolls-Royce overlapped the production lives of the Silver Cloud III and its Silver Shadow successor by more than a year. While the latter model was undeniably more technologically advanced, it was (a) initially only available as a four-door standard steel saloon and (b) lacked the sheer road presence / grandeur of its forebear. Based around a version of the 'Bentley 9' modular platform, the Cloud III may not have been 'cutting edge' by 1966 standards but it was still a wonderfully refined motorcar. Featuring independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a leaf-sprung semi-floating back axle (complete with hypoid bevel final drive), hydraulic shock absorbers (adjustable at the rear), power steering and servo-assisted drum brakes, its enormously strong cruciform-braced box-section chassis provided a wonderful foundation for coachbuilders to practice their art. Powered by a 6230cc OHV V8 mated to four-speed automatic transmission, it also had the benefit of near 120mph performance. Society in the 1960s however was changing rapidly and, among others, the era of the chauffeur-driven car was coming to an end. Rolls-Royce had to make changes too. One of the more striking designs available, this Mulliner, Park Ward Drophead Coupe was aimed at owner-drivers. It owed its beautifully sleek profile to Norwegian-born stylist Vilhelm Koren, who pioneered its 'straight-through' wing line and 'cut-back' wheelarches on the Bentley S2 Continental chassis. Afterwards these lines were successfully carried over to its successors and also to the initially more conservative Rolls-Royces. Visually updated by the diagonal placement of their quad headlights, which gave it its nickname 'Chinese Eye', the Koren-designed Cloud IIIs (available in both fixed- and drophead coupe guises) thus boasted a decidedly avant-garde, yet majestic look. Not surprisingly, the modernist design attracted a younger clientele like actors and musicians. Offered here is Drophead Coupe chassis CSC11B that was delivered new by Jack Barclay to a Mr Sidney E Dale of Plaistow, London on May 17th 1965. It started life in Regal Red but received a change of image in the 1980s and is these days finished in the elegant combination of Mid Metallic Blue teamed with Beige hide interior. The car contains numerous factory options like a heavy gauge frame, an electrically operated aerial, electric windows with emergency manually-operated handles/cranks, an electrically operated hood mechanism, hood cover and a radio. It also has a cocktail cabinet with crystal glasses and carafe under the dashboard. The Rolls-Royce's next keeper was none other than Kenney Jones, one time drummer for the Small Faces, Faces and later The Who after the death of Keith Moon. In 1993 the Coupe passed to another famous musician, Mr Evangelos Papathanassiou, better known as Vangelis, who retained it for the next twenty-three years, yet hardly ever drove it. The Rolls-Royce was recently unearthed from a London garage and, though running well, its general lack of use means that a degree of re-commissioning would be advisable - especially in relation to the brakes and electric hood mechanism. The vendor currently grades the engine and transmission as 'very good' and the coachwork, paintwork, and interior trim as 'good'. This fascinating and rare Cloud III comes complete with build sheet, option list, correspondence and V5s.
