Lot 134

Introduced in 1994, the Aston Martin DB7 was powered by a supercharged 3239cc DOHC straight-six engine allied to either manual or automatic transmission. With a quoted 335bhp / 361lbft of torque on tap, the newcomer boasted 160mph performance. Penned by Ian Callum coincident with the Coupe, the convertible Volante was unveiled at the LA and Detroit Motor Shows of early 1996 - America being the chief market for the company's soft-tops. Just 879 straight-six powered DB7 Volantes were reputedly produced including several limited edition models. The Alfred Dunhill one of 1997 was initially intended to be unique but, under pressure from customers, the factory later agreed to produce a small run of up to 150 examples (though the eventual number was probably nearer 78, the vast majority of which were Coupes). The unique specification featured an exclusive shade of Platinum Silver paint with Charcoal-coloured Connolly hide piped in Silver Grey, brushed aluminium trim panels, white faced dash board instruments, and a Dunhill Millennium clock This right-hand drive automatic transmission DB7 Volante is number 052 of the Alfred Dunhill limited edition run. According to the vendor, it has been enjoyed by just four owners form new and the low recorded mileage of 63,000 is supported by the Aston Martin/marque specialist service history and MOT records. The vendor describes his much loved motor car as "excellent" with regard to the paintwork and interior and "fully working" with regard to the electrical components, including the power folding roof. He informs us that the DB7 will be freshly serviced before the sale and have two new tyres fitted, and this very rare car is offered complete with Tracker, spare keys, tailored Alfred Dunhill floor mats, a car cover, and a current MOT until October 2016. Surely the perfect addition to any Aston Martin collector's motor house?

Lot 139

Introduced in 1927, the Rally Type ABC featured an 'abaissee' (or underslung) chassis that endowed it with notably good handling / roadholding. Indeed such was the Paris-built sports car's reputation that MG are known to have acquired one for analysis. Available with a choice of 1.1, 1.2 and 1.5 litre four-cylinder proprietary engines allied to three-speed manual transmission, even the smallest capacity derivative was reputedly capable of over 80mph. A popular choice in 1.1 litre class events, the Rally Type ABC's period competition pedigree encompassed the GP de l'A.C.F., Spa 24 hours, GP Guipuzcoa, Bol d'Or, Mille Miglia and Brooklands Double Twelve. One of a pair imported new to the UK by motor trader J.A. Driskell and L. Cutbill Jnr to promote the marque, this particular example was finished in red, christened 'Moulin Rouge' and road registered as 'UL 8540'. Nicknamed 'Moulin Bleu', its appropriately-hued sister car bore the number plate 'UL 5582'. Entered for the MCC Land's End Trial in late March 1929, the two 'Moulins' were rewarded with Silver Medals. Contesting the inaugural Brooklands Double Twelve race two months later, 'UL 8540' demonstrated an impressive turn of speed until suffering piston failure some six hours in. Repaired using parts from the spare car, Driskell / Cutbill's mount made-up much lost ground on day two. Sold off thereafter, the Rally Type ABC was re-acquired by J.A. Driskell during early 1933. In between times he had campaigned a BNC and engaged the services of Ralph Silva as an apprentice mechanic (the latter subsequently worked for first ERA and then Prince Bira alongside Stan Holgate). Re-liveried from red to blue, 'UL 8540' participated in numerous sprints and hillclimbs with Driskell / Silva aboard as well as returning to Brooklands for the High Speed Trial and Relay Race etc. Doubtless more agile than the Ford V8 that he piloted on the 1934 Monte Carlo Rally, Driskell is rumoured to have kept the French sports car until his death during late WW2. An accompanying list of former keepers suggests that 'UL 8540' remained in the Home Counties until the mid-1950s when it migrated northwards. Acquired by Douglas John Moray Stuart, the sometime Lord Doune and 20th Earl of Moray in 1972, the voiturette formed part of his renowned motorcar collection for nigh on thirty years. Restored whilst on display at Doune Castle, it changed hands twice thereafter before entering the current ownership during 2003. Starting readily upon inspection, 'UL 8540' retains what the vendor believes to be its original but much repaired SCAP X11 1.1-litre engine. Still wearing the same 'Grand Prix'-style, tapered-tail bodywork that it sports in the numerous period photos on file, the two-seater even displays evidence of what is thought to be its initial 'Moulin Rouge' livery (visible to the chassis and axles in places). Sparingly used over the last dozen years, the Rally Type ABC has nonetheless benefited from new internals for its three-speed manual gearbox. Thought to have been fitted with an uprated rear axle during the 1930s (the original unit lacked a differential), the two-seater also sports a period Rene Thomas four-spoke steering wheel. Described by the vendor as possessing 'fair' paintwork and 'patinated' blue leather upholstery, 'UL 8540' was much admired when invited to form part of Cartier's 'Style et Lux' exhibit at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Seemingly highly original and potentially eligible for the Mille Miglia Storica among many other prestigious events, this undeniably handsome (Bugatti Type 37-esque) Rally is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and its silver medal from the 1929 MCC Land's End Trial.

Registering to Bid on the Ferrari 275 GTB/4 from the Richard Colton Collection: - All Registrations to Bid either In Person, via Commission or on the Telephone must be made by 5pm on Tuesday 13th October 2015 - We require passport identification and a bank reference for the total amount, including commission, which you anticipate bidding to - A £5,000 refundable deposit will be taken upon registering and placed in our Client Account, which will be refunded after the auction - Internet Bidding will not be available on either vehicle For further information, please contact Colette McKay on +44 (0) 1925 210035. H&H are indebted to Ferrari historian and author Keith Bluemel, who has recently inspected chassis 10177 at first hand, for the following report: 'The 275 GTB4 berlinetta was the replacement for the 275 GTB, the main difference being the fitment of a four overhead camshaft, two per bank, V12 engine. It was first shown at the 1966 Paris Salon, and remained in production until March 1968, during which time 330 examples were manufactured in the chassis number range 09007 to 11069, 27 of which were UK imported right hand drive versions. The 275 GTB4 was virtually identical visually to the "long nose" two camshaft models, and without lifting the bonnet, there was only one easy distinguishing feature. This was the profile of the bonnet, which on the 275 GTB4 had a slim shallow central bulge running from front to rear. As with the two camshaft cars, the Pininfarina designed body was constructed by Scaglietti in Modena, normally in steel with aluminium doors, bonnet, and boot lid, although a few examples received full aluminium bodies. The bodies were mounted on a 2400mm wheelbase chassis that had factory reference numbers 596, and all were numbered in the odd chassis number road car sequence. The chassis was virtually identical to that of the two camshaft car, the revised number being due to minor differences in the drive train layout. Like its predecessor, the four camshaft model was available in right or left hand drive form. The standard wheels were alloy with a ten hole design, similar to those used on the Ferrari sports racing cars of the period, with the option of Borrani wire wheels throughout the production period. The basic dimensions and layout of the engine were similar to that of the two camshaft unit of the preceding 275 GTB, but fitted with new cylinder heads that featured twin overhead camshafts per bank of cylinders, with factory type reference 226, still of 3286cc capacity, with a bore and stroke of 77mm x 58.8mm, with the sparking plugs sited between the camshafts. The other major difference was the provision of dry sump lubrication. It was fitted with a bank of six Weber 40 DCN9, 17, or 18 carburettors, with a twin coil and rear of engine mounted distributor ignition system, to produce a claimed 300bhp. The engine drove through a shaft in a torque tube, as fitted to late series two camshaft models, running at engine speed to a five speed transaxle, which was independently supported from the chassis frame, and then by drive shafts to the independently suspended rear wheels, that featured the same coil spring and wishbone suspension arrangement as used on the two camshaft 275 GTB model. Chassis # 10177 is a right hand drive example, which was ordered new by Maranello Concessionaires Ltd from the factory on their order # 296 in February 1967, with a specification of silver paintwork, code 106.E.1 Salchi, a blue leather and cloth interior, leather code VM 3015, light blue carpets, a radio console and the optional Borrani wire wheels. It was delivered to them in July 1967, and road registered by them on UK licence plate SMD 2F, to became their demonstrator model. The factory invoice for the car states only blue leather for the interior, so it is assumed that the cloth seat centres were substituted for full leather. In December 1967 the car was sold to T.C. Harrison Ltd, a Ford main dealer in Sheffield, for the company owner Mr Cuth Harrison, when it was re-registered on his personal UK licence plate TCH 1. In June 1969 the car was returned to Maranello Concessionaires for sale by them. Mr Harrison retained his personal licence plate, and it was re-registered on UK licence plate VWJ 770F, then sold through Rob Walker (Corsley Garage) Ltd, Warminster, Wiltshire, in August 1969, to a Mr J.E. Renton, of Greywell, near Basingstoke, Hampshire. The registration number was probably the same as re-registered by Maranello Concessionaires in June 1969, i.e. VWJ 770F. There is a letter in the Maranello Concessionaires Archive file indicating that he still owned the car in January 1970. The next owner is understood to have been a Mr W. Locksley-Cook in Westerham, Kent, when it was registered on UK licence plate BC 777, who had purchased it from the Sunningdale Carriage Company, of Sunningdale, Berkshire. In 1971 the car was once again for sale at Maranello Concessionaires, now on UK licence plate TVB 758F, so Mr Locksley-Cook had clearly retained his personal plate. In July 1971 it was purchased by Mr Robert Horne of Horne Brothers Ltd, the tailors (By Appointment to H.M. Queen Elizabeth II Livery Tailors). He kept the car for a little over a year, and then it was sold through Rose & Young Ltd, of Caterham, Surrey, around September 1972 to a Mr W. R. Curtis of Great Abington, Cambridgeshire, when it was registered on UK licence plate 69 EVE. In his ownership during 1974, the engine was fully rebuilt at 36,215 miles, by Graypaul Motors Ltd, of Loughborough, Leicestershire, and later in the year they also replaced the suspension wishbones, bushes and ball joints. The car was purchased by Richard Colton from Mr Curtis through Maloney & Rhodes Ltd, of Cambridge in November 1974, and was owned by him for over 40 years, up to the time of his passing in March 2015. At the time that he purchased the car it was painted red, although it is not known when the colour change took place, however it retained its original blue interior. Initially in his ownership it was still on the UK registration number 69 EVE, but at some stage early in his ownership (definitely by 1979), he had the car re-registered on UK licence plate RCO 777. At this time the car had a nudge bar fitted to the nose, although this was subsequently removed, and the quarter bumpers retain plugged fixing holes where this was attached. In September 1979 he entrusted the car to G.T.C. Engineering of Rushden, Northamptonshire, for a full bare metal re-spray in Mercedes-Benz Astral Silver, code DB375, which was completed in the November of that year. The car was returned to them in the middle of 1986 for further paintwork to be carried out on the bonnet and boot lids, and one front wing. The invoice for this work also has a note about welding up the radiator support bracket, and there is clear evidence of this on the car today. It is almost certain that this was the last time any work was carried out on the paintwork, as close inspection reveals numerous areas of micro-blistering, and there is deeper bubbling on the top edge of the right front wheel arch, together with on the top of the same wing close to the bonnet. The paintwork also has some chips and cracks in various locations on the body. The black paint under the nose and tail of the car does not have the correct perimeter profile or finish. It is currently finished with black underseal, whilst the correct finish is satin black. There is some flaking to the paint on the inside of the bonnet.   Click here for the full description.

Lot 21

Lotus first applied the Elan name to its small Ron Hickman-designed two-seat Roadster of 1962. It comprised a steel backbone chassis clothed in a lightweight fiberglass body. Power came from a 1,558cc Cosworth twin-cam version of Ford's ubiquitous 'Kent' engine. With independent suspension all round and four wheel disc brakes, the Elan was both light and nimble. It was, however, lacking in space and in June 1967 Lotus introduced another Hickman masterpiece - the Elan +2 Coupe for those that needed more accommodation. Based on a suitably lengthened/widened version of its smaller sibling's chassis, the newcomer enjoyed better aerodynamics and superior grip (thanks to a 0.30 drag co-efficient and six-inch wider track/fatter tyres). And, as the name suggests, it offered two extra seats - in the company's own words, 'The +2 is designed to carry two adults and two children on a long holiday in comfort'. The +2S version was introduced in 1969 and brought such cosmetic improvements as remote boot release and flush fitting interior door handles, plus an improved exhaust system. The very tidy-looking +2S offered is finished in Silver and trimmed in Black. It was evidently the subject of a restoration some 15 years ago, at which point the original backbone chassis was replaced with a new galvanised one, the twin-cam engine overhauled, and the Lotus completely repainted. Six years later the water pump, timing chain and dampers were all replaced and uprated driveshafts installed. The vendor informs us that the Elan nowadays 'drives very well and has been in regular use'. He presently views the bodywork, interior trim, engine and four-speed manual transmission as being in 'good' condition and the paintwork as 'fair'. The Lotus comes complete with sunroof and an extensive history file that includes the purchase and other invoices dating back to 1971, MOTs back to 1975 and photos of the restoration.

Lot 44

The elegant DB2 was a major step forward from the 2-Litre Sports model it replaced. The newcomer was based on a modified version of the square tube chassis originally designed by Claude Hill for the Atom prototype. It was clothed in a flowing all-alloy body penned by Frank Feeley and powered by the 2.6-litre straight-six Lagonda engine conceived by W.O. Bentley and Willie Watson. Yes, this was a car with pedigree, something that was emphatically confirmed a few months later with a first and second in class finish at Le Mans. Production of the DB2 continued until 1953 when it was replaced by the DB2/4. A logical progression, the DB2/4 featured a pair of occasional rear seats and an eminently practical hatchback tail. Other notable changes included a wraparound windscreen, larger bumpers and repositioned headlights. By the middle of the following year the engine had grown in capacity to 2.9-litres, increasing the power output to 140bhp and the top speed to 120mph. It was in 1954 that David Brown acquired the Tickford Coachbuilding Works at Newport Pagnell, and it was there rather than Feltham the MKII versions of the DB2/4 were made from 1955. The revised model featured small tailfins, bubble-type tail lights and added chrome. There was the option of a large-valve, high compression engine of 165bhp output and two different body styles - a 2+2 Hatchback and two-seat Drophead Coupe. The final iteration of the DB2/4 was launched at the 1957 Geneva Salon. Somewhat confusingly christened the DB Mark III, it featured disc front brakes (from the first 100 cars onward) and Alfin drums on the rear, a hydraulic clutch, plus the options of overdrive for the standard manual gearbox and automatic transmission. The obvious visual differences were the adoption of a DB3S-style radiator grille and sensuously sculptured bonnet. The rear lamps were changed once more and the rear quarter lights made to open. Inside, an all-new instrument panel greeted the driver. The engine, which had been heavily reworked by Tadek Marek, featured a new crankshaft, stiffer crankcase, and induction modifications inspired by the racing unit of the DB3S. The power of the standard version was now up to 162bhp, while those equipped with the optional dual exhaust system were claimed to produce 178bhp - enough to sprint the Aston to 60mph in 9.3 seconds. There was now the choice of three body styles - 2+2 Hatchback, Drophead Coupe and Fixed Head Coupe; though the latter only accounted for five of the 551 Mark IIIs built between 1957 and 1959. By the time Goldfinger reached the silver screen, 007 was behind the wheel of a gadget-equipped DB5, but in the Ian Fleming novel from which the film was derived, he piloted a gadget-modified DB Mark III - erroneously referred to as a DB III throughout the book. This delightful DB MKIII hails from 1958 and is finished in Silver with contrasting Burgundy-coloured hide and matching Wilton carpets. It is equipped with overdrive, DB4 GT front brake calipers and braided brake lines. The Aston has just been treated to a complete engine overhaul during which one of the new and improved Vetus cylinder blocks was installed. The vendor informs us that the car has also been continuously well maintained, courtesy of regular visits to Four Ashes Garage in Stratford-upon-Avon. Its comprehensive history file contains invoices totalling in excess of £75,000 in the last five years, £20,000 of which is from 2015, as well as previous FIA papers - suggesting earlier competition activity. The vendor has no hesitation in classing the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as all being in 'excellent' order and considers '483 FBH' to be 'eminently collectable'.

Lot 54

Chassis 877200 is a beautiful and recently restored example of a Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Roadster Series 1. With matching numbers, this left hand drive example was sold new to a Mr. P Reneira Jr, of Half Moon Bay in northern California, USA. The vendor believes that the car remained in the USA all of its life until he acquired it immediately after its importation into England in early 2014. He has since had the E-Type restored to what he describes as an "excellent" standard. The enormous number of invoices on file describe how the car was stripped and repainted during the restoration with many new items fitted that were obtained from the leading classic Jaguar parts suppliers. These included new wire wheels, a new steering wheel, a new black folding roof, overhauled dash board instruments, new leather seat trim and carpets to the interior, and a fully detailed suspension and under-carriage area. The engine was also overhauled with a very detailed description of the works carried out in the file. Finished in silver paint with a black leather interior and folding roof, this E-Type is offered with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate and numerous restoration records/invoices and a V5C registration document.

Lot 71

The upgrades that distinguished Rolls-Royce's Shadow II from the first model included: rack-and-pinion steering; revised front suspension geometry; and a change of carburettors, exhaust and cooling fans aimed at improving fuel consumption. More visible were the rubber-tipped bumpers, deeper radiator shell, different door handles, bib spoiler below the front bumper and new style (spring-back) door mirror that was adjustable from inside the car. The Long wheelbase versions of the Shadow II were endowed with the Silver Wraith name and most had the additional distinguishing features of Everflex roof, opera-style rear window and different wheel covers. This lovely-looking Wraith II comes with Chestnut-coloured bodywork and matching leather upholstery. The vendor informs us it has just sailed through its MOT without any advisories and benefits from a recent brake overhaul and new Avon Turbosteel tyres. 'AEL 350T' comes with service book containing 17 stamps, handbooks, invoices, old MOTs etc, and currently displays 39,137 recorded miles.

Lot 77

- Comprehensive professional restoration recently completed by marque specialist - Matching numbers UK supplied RHD car with Jaguar Heritage Certificate - Finished in its original specification and colour scheme of Opalescent Silver Grey with red interior Launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show the Jaguar E-Type was nothing short of a revelation. With its heady blend of supercar performance, breath-taking styling and low price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. Built as a monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension (torsion-bar front / coil-sprung rear) rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent road holding and handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head, its indomitable 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft of torque. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox (with synchromesh on 2nd, 3rd and 4th), it reputedly enabled the E-type to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph. Achingly beautiful yet viciously quick, the iconic E-type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar. This original matching numbers right hand drive UK market Series 1 E-type 3.8 was, as confirmed by the accompanying Jaguar Heritage Certificate, manufactured on 30 April 1962 and finished in Opalescent Silver Grey with red interior. On 1st June 1962 it was supplied to its first owner, a Mr R H Hyman, via Henlys, Manchester. According to the V5C registration document there are only two further registered keepers including the current vendor since the car was new. The subject of an extensive restoration between 1975-1980 by Phoenix Automotive which included an engine overhaul, full retrim and replacement of the bonnet, doors and floor, after six months of summer motoring it was dry-stored on wooden blocks under a fitted cotton dust sheet and woven covers. Subsequently offered for sale at H&H's Pavilion Gardens auction in October 2013, it was purchased from there by the vendor, a keen historic racer and car collector. Upon inspection the car was found to be structurally sound but the non-original green paintwork had suffered and was in poor condition. The decision was taken to treat the car to a comprehensive back to bare metal restoration with the work being entrusted to a marque specialist and race car preparer. These painstaking works took eighteen months to complete and included a return to the original specification and colour scheme of Opalescent Silver Grey with red interior. Retaining its Moss gearbox and registering some 78,000 miles on its odometer, this extremely desirable early E-type, finished in arguably the best colour combination, is accompanied by a Swansea V5C document, Jaguar Heritage Certificate, sundry invoices and current MoT expiring September 2016. Always prized by collectors, original UK market E-Types have now become particularly sought after and this beautifully restored example would undoubtedly enhance any collection.

Lot 80

Donald Healey's eponymous company built a prototype two-seater sports car for display at the 1952 London Motor Show. It was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and sported a sleek body designed by Gerry Coker and built by Tickford. It was dubbed the 'Healey Hundred' (a moniker chosen to reflect the car's ability to reach 100mph), and Healey planned to build production versions at his factory in Warwick. As things transpired, the prototype impressed the public and so excited Austin's Managing Director, Leonard Lord, that he agreed to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The newcomer was renamed the Austin Healey 100. The rest is history. The production bodyshells were made by Jensen and then transported to Longbridge where the cars were assembled alongside the A90. The early cars (code named BN1 and BN2) were equipped with the same four-cylinder 90bhp 2,660cc engine as the A90. They had 11" drum brakes all round. The front suspension was independent by coil springs while the rear featured a traditional live axle supported by semi-elliptic leaf springs. The steering was by cam and lever. The home market BN1 on offer is a 1954 example that features smart Spruce Green bodywork complemented by Black interior trim and rides on silver-painted wire wheels. This particular 'Big' Healey has had four keepers to date and is the subject of an older restoration. The engine has been upgraded to 'M' specification ('M' spec. carburettors, cold air box, lightened fly wheel, uprated anti-roll bar, etc.) and the original gearbox replaced by the more desirable four-speed plus overdrive BN2 unit. 'OWD 726' has recently been treated to a full service by a marque specialist, and is described by the vendor as being 'well sorted' with 'excellent' bodywork and paintwork, and 'good' interior trim, engine and transmission. It is being sold complete with lead free conversion, Heritage Certificate, FIVA identity card and MOT until September 2016.

Lot 88

This attractive-looking example of Britain's favourite sports car has Mid Blue bodywork complemented by a Light Tan interior. It's a four owner example that was removed from the road in 2002 and restored over the ensuing seven years, since when it's travelled less than 4,000 miles. The history file contains invoices totalling in excess of £15,000 and the work carried out included a conversion from rubber to chrome bumpers, during which the ride height was lowered to that of the earlier cars. 'KKR 336P' benefits from a handling kit and Spax dampers all-round. Its impressive specification further includes: oil cooler and braided pipes; overdrive; silver coloured wire wheels; wood rim steering wheel; Pioneer radio/CD player; stainless steel door treads; locking fuel cap; and car cover. The vendor classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'good' order and says the venerable MG 'drives exceptionally well'.

Lot 91

Launched in April 1955, the Silver Cloud was based on a completely new closed box-section frame that was reputedly fifty percent stiffer than that of the outgoing Silver Dawn. The newcomer's elegant Standard Steel Saloon body was penned by in-house designer John Polwhele Blatchley, the proportions of which belied its considerable overall length of 17ft 8in. Though the retention of a separate chassis allowed for the production of bespoke coachwork, all but 157 of the 2,360 Cloud Is produced featured the in-house offering. Powered by an alloy-headed, 4887cc straight-six engine mated to 4-speed automatic transmission, the model utilised servo-assisted drum brakes all-round. The suspension was independent with coil springs at the front and featured a live axle hung on semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear. Changes introduced in 1956 included the incorporation of twin brake master cylinders and the options of power steering and air conditioning. A test by Motor magazine in 1956 recorded a top speed of 102.9mph and a time of 13.5 seconds for the 0-60mph dash. Still finished in its original colours of Sage Green over Smoke Green, chassis SBC108 was first owned by J.W. Kempton Esq. of Leicester who took delivery on 5th October 1956. More recently entrusted to marque specialists Hillier Hill and NRT Motors of Tewsburry for over £35,000 worth of mechanical fettling, the Rolls-Royce is said to 'drive like it did when it left the factory'. Describing its bodywork, paintwork, engine and automatic transmission as 'good' and its Stone-hued leather upholstery as 'fair / good', the vendor further informs us that this lovely Silver Cloud has covered just 100,500 miles from new. Riding on whitewall tyres and benefiting from power steering, it is accompanied by an original handbook, assorted MOTs, V5s, complete boot tools, lamp and a spare set of keys.

Lot 95

An undisputedly fine motorcar, the Graham Hull-penned Silver Seraph marked Rolls-Royce's intention to reclaim its reputation as producer of `the best car in the world'. Following a long gestation period that dated back to the late '80s, the model was actually only made for four years - 1998 to 2002 - as a result of which just 1,570 examples ultimately vacated the factory in Crewe, making it a relatively rare breed. The company claimed the monocoque chassis to be 65 percent stiffer than that of the Silver Spirit it replaced. Power came from a BMW-derived all-alloy V12 engine of 5.4-litres, making it the first 12-cylinder car to transport the Silver Lady since the mighty Phantom III of 1939. The Seraph shared its platform, bodyshell and much else with the Bentley Arnage of the period. But while the twin-turbo V8-powered and more stiffly-suspended Arnage was aimed at the enthusiast driver, the Seraph was all about comfort and luxury. 'W801 VGO' was supplied new in 2000 by Jack Barclay. Its bodywork is resplendent in Silver that's matched to Black hide interior trim. The Rolls boasts a comprehensive and continuous service record, all the maintenance for which has been carried out by franchised Rolls-Royce agents, with the most recent attention having being supplied by Jack Barclay. The records evidently support the Seraph's currently displayed total mileage of just 29,942. The motorcar's impressive specification includes: burr walnut interior cappings; electrically-controlled sunroof; heated front and rear seats; lambs-wool over rugs; and a brand new set of White-walled tyres. The vendor makes no hesitation in branding the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and automatic transmission as all being 'immaculate', and is doubtless correct in saying that really good examples of the breed are rapidly becoming harder to find. This one comes complete with the aforementioned service books, receipts etc.
