Introduced at the 1962 Motor Show the MGB cost a mere £949 15s 3d and had a top speed of around 108 mph and a 0 to 60mph time of 12.1 sees. With its three main bearing 1798cc engine developing 95 bhp @ 5,400 rpm. The MGB was a good performer with plenty of torque throughout the range and was overall a more flexible car than its predecessor, the MGA. The MGB LE announced in October 1980 alongside the GT LE version went on sale at £6,108 with the GT at £6,576. 580 GTs were produced, all silver in colour and all with cast alloy wheels. 421 Roadster were produced in total. All were bronze in colour. However, 213 had cast alloy wheels, whilst only 208 had wire wheels. Manufactured in 1980, whilst not the last cars to be produced. They were the last MGBs to be sold. Released for sale in January 1981, they were the final goodbye to the MGB and its production at Abingdon. Having been made there continuously from 1962.Being one of only 208 cars with this specification, makes this MG B Roadster L.E. a rare find. First registered on 17th February 1981, it would have been just as rarer sight on the road then as it is today. She has passed through a few keepers in her time, and along the way lost the aptly named “deckchair” seats (This is the one time I would advise “probably for the better”).  Showing 9680 on the clock. The vendor believes this car has covered 109,680 miles in its lifetime. There is a large array of invoices in the history file, two certificates of authenticity (maybe they didn’t believe the first one). Both confirming manufacture on the 11th September 1980. We can see the car was sold for £6,291 back in 1996 (Only £300 less than when she was new). Starts and drives, although we did have a little backfire yesterday. Presenting in good condition. The roof shows signs of wear. However, the vendor has supplied a brand new “double duck” hood, which the new owner only has to fit. The vendor is selling simply to downsize their collection due to age. Rare car up for grabs.

The C-class debuted in 1993 with the W202, and befitting its all-new name, any similarities to the 190E were primarily those of market positioning. The first-generation C Class took over from the W201 190. Named by Mercedes-Benz as the C-Class, it was a full-fat executive saloon, boasting rear-wheel drive, plenty of luxury fittings and a class-leading ride. But unlike the traditional Mercedes-Benz saloon, the W202 C Class was small. This meant it was nimble and easy to drive, and with a range of engine from humble four-cylinder petrols, economical diesels or even thumping great V8s, the new C Class was all things to all men.Many were produced, but many have not survived. Thanks to the government scrappage scheme, potential 90’s classics were wiped out in their droves, as grant payments exceeded values. The C- Class is one of the victims of this. Finding one in good condition now is difficult, finding one in great condition, is near impossible. We believe this example fits the great category. First registered on the 21st August 1998 and sold from SMAC Continental in Leigh On Sen to Mr Birleson. Specified with metallic Silver paint, 5 speed automatic box, aircon, and folding mirrors. This C180 Sport cost £26,704 brand new. Having only covered 34,448 miles since that day this car still smells brand new. It has passed through 5 keepers before coming into the ownership of the present vendor. It presents as it would have done when it left the showroom, other than the addition of correct period & Mercedes original monobloc alloys. These we feel only enhance the look of the car, whilst underlining the immaculate condition of the vehicle. V5 Present and MOT’d until 27th July 2024. A small history pack is present, including the original bill of sale and a number of old tax discs running from 1999 to 2004 . The car is now ready to pass on to one more lucky owner.

1924 Rolls-Royce 40/50hp Silver Ghost Coachwork by Steuarts of Calcutta Registration no. R 2509 Chassis no. 82EU Engine no. U176•Body believed built for the Maharajah of Mysore•Late Ghost with four-wheel brakes and AutoVac fuel system•Restored by the late Tony James. Ex RREC Chairman. •Recent service by Ristes of Nottingham•Ready to enjoy A car with a fascinating history, '82EU' was originally sold to Barkers who bodied it for the first owner, one Benjamin Sassoon of London. The car was signed off by Eric Platford on 29th November 1924 and delivered on 20th January 1925. Being a late Ghost, it benefits from four-wheel brakes and an Autovac fuel feed. The car's current body is an original open-drive example built by Steuarts of Calcutta circa 1913, it is believed for the Maharajah of Mysore. This in turn was a copy of a body built by Barkers in 1913, which was displayed at Olympia on chassis number '2366'. The Steuarts body was imported from India in 1967. This car is the life's work of noted Rolls-Royce luminary and enthusiast, the late Mr Tony James, who sourced the body (from James Black). Taken beside Lake Dhakhuria in 1965, a photograph of the body on the previous chassis comes with the car. A passionate restoration was carried out by Engineer, businessman, horologist, renown Rolls-Royce enthusiast, tools specialist, Tony James, whose hero was fellow engineer Sir Henry Royce. Tony studied and knew intimately the working of Rolls-Royce motor cars. During his term as chairman of the RREC he applied his considerable business skill and love of Rolls-Royce (and Bentley) cars to ensuring the strong financial status of the club with, amongst other things, the inception of the year book; preservation of cars and the marque, imparted knowledge at seminars and in articles written with clarity and humour as well as solutions via phone and email communication direct with fellow enthusiasts and those needing help within the industry. Tony offered step by step advice to fix and improve the workings of many a car project and had a hand in restoring 147 Rolls-Royce motor cars, with a particular interested in pre-war examples. '82EU' is finished in Royal Blue with black wings and roof and a black interior, with the bonnet left in polished aluminium. Photographs of the unpainted body come with the car showing it as found and installed. The driver's compartment is upholstered in black leather with original seat backs and re-trimmed seat squabs. An aluminium dashboard with the requisite instruments completes the ensemble. The attention to detail is extraordinary from the hand-crafted multi-layer coach-line, the hand-woven silk window tapes to the leather gaiters on the springs. The vendor confirms that the Ghost needs and wants for nothing. '82EU' is of sufficient importance to have graced the R-REC stand at the NEC.The Ghost has most recently been at marque specialists Ristes of Nottingham having an extensive service and a tune-up.This is a supremely elegant car with rare and highly desirable Indian coachwork. It is also a super Ghost to drive. The open drive Limousine allows the driver to feel the exhilaration of guiding her, whilst passengers are closed in the back in comfort upon button backed restored leather seating with vanity items and footwarmer to complete the plush interior. Affording the prospect of Silver Ghost motoring at its finest, it is ready for long distance rallies and quite capable of driving the entire length of Europe.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Targa Coupé Registration no. YEL 302S Chassis no. 1Z87L8S413859 Engine no. 413859•Finished in two-tone silver Anniversary colours•L48 V-8 engine•Manual 4-speed gearbox•21,000 recorded milesBack in 1953, Chevrolet's launch of a two-seater sports car was a radical departure for a marque hitherto associated almost exclusively with sensible family transport. Based on the 1952 EX-122 show car, the Corvette made use of existing GM running gear and a shortened chassis frame, around which was wrapped striking Harley Earl-styled glassfibre coachwork. Motive power came from Chevrolet's 235.5ci (3.8-litre) overhead-valve straight six and, unusually for a sports car, there was automatic transmission, a feature that attracted much adverse criticism at the time. Intended as competition for the T-Series MG, the Corvette cost way above the target figure, ending up in Jaguar XK120 territory but with an inferior performance. Sales were sluggish initially and the model came close to being axed, surviving thanks to Chevrolet's need to compete with Ford's Thunderbird. A V8 engine for 1955 and a radical re-style for '56 had consolidated the Vette's position in the market before arrival of the heavily revised 'Sting Ray' version. Introduced for 1963, the Sting Ray sported a totally new ladder-type chassis and for the first time there was a Gran Turismo coupé in the range. As had been the case with the previous (1956-62) generation of Corvettes, development proceeded slowly, being characterised by annual facelifts and few engineering changes of note. On the latter front, the long-overdue arrival of four-wheel disc brakes was the most significant development for 1965, while Chevrolet's 327ci (5.4-litre) 250bhp standard V8 was joined by an optional 396ci (6.5-litre) Big Block for '65 only, then a '427' until the end of Sting Ray production in 1967. The 'Stingray', of course, continued and the Corvette would go on to become the world's best-selling and longest-lived sports car.The immortal Chevrolet Corvette, 'America's only true production sports car', celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1978, a year that marked the first major re-style since the commencement of the 'Stingray' era ten years previously. By then, catalytic converters had arrived, the 'Big Block' engines had gone, a steel under-tray had been added and a revised dashboard introduced, while the Corvette roadster had been deleted in the expectation that Federal auto legislation would effectively outlaw convertibles. Gone too was the 'Stingray' name, dropped at the end of the 1976 season. For '78 the fastback roofline of the 1963-67 Sting Ray was reinstated and complemented by a wrap-around rear window. The 'Silver Anniversary' was one of two limited edition models offered that year, featuring silver metallic paint above the waistline and charcoal grey below as part of a package that included aluminium alloy wheels. According to our vendor, this 25th Anniversary Corvette is in very solid original condition having covered only 21,000 miles. It has the L48 350ci (5.3-litre) V8 engine coupled to manual four-speed gearbox. It is believed that the car had one owner from 1978 (Mr Homer Bryant of Dade City, Florida) until it was imported into the UK in 2017.Serviced in 2022, it comes with plentiful history, including the original sales invoice, recent maintenance bills, and some memorabilia.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 598

1965 Vanden Plas Princess 4-Litre 'R' Saloon Registration no. EJW 359C Chassis no. V/RS31523 Engine no. OFBAH1674•Automatic transmission•Previous long-term enthusiast family ownership•An older restoration•Well maintainedOne of Britain's most illustrious coachbuilders, chiefly remembered for its sublime Vintage-era Bentleys, the firm of Vanden Plas was acquired by Austin in 1946 and re-invented as a marque in its own right some years later. From the late 1940s onwards Vanden Plas engaged in bodying top-of-the-line Austins, most notably the A135 Princess Limousine, before marque status arrived for 1960. However, something less grandiose was required in order for Austin to exploit the potential of the esteemed coachbuilder's brand in the much larger owner-driver market, so from 1960 onwards there was a Vanden Plas-badged version of the Austin A99 Westminster: the Princess 3-Litre. Mechanically identical to the Austin A99 and Wolseley 6/99, incomplete cars destined for the Vanden Plas treatment would be despatched from the Cowley factory to the coachbuilder's works in Kingsbury, North London where they were finished to the highest standards, gaining walnut veneer embellishments, special instruments, sumptuous leather trim and extra sound deadening insulation. When the Austin A99 was upgraded to A110 specification in 1961, gaining a longer wheelbase and more power, the Princess followed suit, becoming the 'MkII'. The next phase of development saw the Princess offered with the six-cylinder Rolls-Royce FB60 engine: a 3,909cc short-stroke variant of that used in the Silver Cloud. Extensive revisions were made to accommodate the Rolls-Royce engine and the new model – known as the Princess 4-Litre R – was most enthusiastically received. Sadly, after the initial enthusiasm wore off, sales slowed to a trickle and only 6,555 cars had been built when the model was withdrawn in 1968. This restored Princess R previously belonged for a long time to a family of classic car enthusiasts, passing through the hands of various family members while being used sparingly as part of their sizeable collection. The car has been maintained by Penguin Motors of Cambridge and comes with numerous bills relating to its restoration and maintenance together with photographs of the former. MoTs on file date back to 1995 and the car also comes with a V5C document. The current vendor purchased the car at Bonhams' MPH auction in December 2021 (Lot 46). At that time we described it thus: 'An honest car, very well looked after, this handsome Princess R drives very well (the automatic transmission works smoothly) and is the very exemplar of quality motoring.' According to our vendor, the car remains in good condition throughout. Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1977 Bentley T2 Saloon Registration no. TTG 5S Chassis no. SBH 32691 Engine no. 32691Although the Mulsanne Turbo's arrival in 1982 would revitalise Bentley's image, during the T2's time in production (1977-1980) the marque was almost totally eclipsed by Rolls-Royce, with the result that a mere 558 (plus 10 long-wheelbase) T2s were made compared to nearly 8,500 of the equivalent Silver Shadow! Independent once more (from Rolls-Royce at least) Bentley today enjoys a greatly enhanced reputation that has seen interest in the 'forgotten' T-Series cars increase significantly in recent years.Outwardly distinguishable from the Silver Shadow only by virtue of its different radiator and winged 'B' mascot, the T-Series Bentley had been introduced alongside its Rolls-Royce sibling in 1965. Mechanically identical, the duo represented a complete break with tradition, being the first of the Crewe factory's models to employ unitary construction. Originally of 6,230cc, the pushrod V8 engine grew to 6,750cc in 1970 and provided identical power in either application. Nevertheless, Autocar's T2 proved the fastest of the Shadow family that the magazine had tested, accelerating to 60mph in under 10 seconds and achieving a maximum speed of 119mph. Introduced in 1977 alongside the Shadow II, the T2 gained split-level air-conditioning, rack and pinion steering, revised dashboard and chin spoiler.Acquired by our vendor in 1999, having had one former keeper, this T2 comes with some service history and a recent (2022) invoice for repairs to the fuel pump electrical circuit. Described by the vendor as in good condition throughout, the car is offered with a V5C registration Certificate. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 585

1914 Rhodia 16hp Ambulance Registration no. G 7416 Chassis no. to be advised Engine no. 940•Believed to be the sole surviving Rhodia WWI ambulance•Subsequently used as a taxicab/charabanc in Scotland•Rediscovered derelict in the late 1970s•Restored to concours-winning conditionThe vehicle offered here is believed to be the sole surviving Rhodia ambulance used during World War 1. It was originally manufactured in the USA and is one of only a few exported to the UK. The agents were Mass Cars Ltd of 10 Milverton Street, London SE. Many years later (in 1977) the Rhodia was recovered by the late Don Cameron from Crossways Garage, Beach Villa, Argyll together with other cars that had been locked away in 1939 and left untouched. The remains of a licence disc were found on the Rhodia stating 'PRIVATE, 16HP, £4 16s, RHODIA, G 7416, Dk GREEN' and dated April 13 1922. The 'G 7416' front number plate was present also and is still on the vehicle today. Motoring historian Michael Ware discovered that the Rhodia had been registered in Glasgow in March 1921 as a six-seater taxicab (the 'G' registration was allocated during 1914/1916). Messrs Alexander and James Scobie ran the Rhodia as a taxi/charabanc at Strachur in 1921 before it was taxed privately in 1922. Alexander Naismith Stobie had served with the Royal Scots Fusiliers and then the Labour Corps in 1917. He was subsequently transferred to the Royal Flying Corps 92 Squadron and then on 1st April 1918 to 93 Squadron of the newly formed Royal Air Force, from which he was finally discharged on 29th March 1922. He died in Dunoon, Scotland in 1978. Alex Scobie had told local people that the Rhodia had been an ambulance and that he had brought it back from the Great War. This Rhodia ambulance has been lovingly restored by the current vendor. (A photograph on file shows the vehicle's dilapidated state when acquired in 1980.) The engine block, leaf springs, steering column, most of the chassis, one and a half wooden wheels, and a small fragment of the dashboard were all that remained. The wooden wheels were built using hickory for the spokes; the body panels and engine covers fabricated from mild steel; the radiator constructed using silver-soldered sheet brass; the mudguards hand-tooled; and the windscreen frame made from brass. The vendor reconstructed the laminated steering wheel, and the rear canvas covers were also made and hand-sewn by him. The canvas cover's supports and the cab roof are exact replicas of the original ambulances of the period. An electric starter has been fitted for convenience.The rebuild was completed in 2016 and since then the Rhodia has won two major concours awards. The vehicle comes with a most extensive history file including an article in The Automobile's February 2018 edition by Michael Ware entitled 'Back on the Road', which recounts the Rhodia's fascinating story in greater detail (close inspection recommended).

1927 Lanchester 23hp Saloon Limousine Coachwork by Maythorn Registration no. UA 2000 Chassis no. 3497 Engine no. 3504•Regular attendee of Lanchester Register, VSCC and other events•Engine upgraded (electric water pump)•Safety upgrades (flashing indicators, brake lights)Lanchester recommenced civilian production after WWI with a single model, the luxurious 40hp, which was even more expensive than the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, but like their rivals at Crewe was soon offering a smaller and cheaper alternative. Introduced in 1923 at the Olympia Motor Show, the 21hp newcomer was powered by a 3.0-litre overhead-camshaft straight six. The latter was Lanchester's first engine with a detachable cylinder head while the conventional (as opposed to epicyclic) gearbox and four-wheel brakes were likewise new departures for the firm. In 1926 the engine was enlarged to 3.3 litres (rated at 23hp) and in this form the model continued in production until 1931. The top speed was comfortably in excess of 60mph.Equipped with the 3.3-litre engine, this 23hp model was built in 1927 and registered in 1928. Its elegant Maythorn coachwork includes rotating occasional seats, drawers beneath the front seats, curved glass panels and a vertically opening glass division. Its first owner was Mr Wilson, an architect, who drove the car regularly until WW2. In 1954 the engine was restored and all other components thoroughly checked. In 1963 the Lanchester was sold to Roger Halliwell of Halifax. It is believed to have been licensed every year since, attending many shows and rallies including annual Manchester/Blackpool tours, and being used as a wedding car. Three vintage silver-plated telephones were installed in 1970 (currently unconnected), with aluminium wheel discs being fitted to the wire wheels that same year. The Lanchester was restored by Roger Halliwell between 1988 and 2006, the engine being rebored and rebuilt with new pistons, main bearings, big-end bearings and gudgeon pins. Other works included refurbishment of the front wheel bearings, brake drums (new), brake linings, radiator (renewed). In more recent years the electrics were rewired, with new ignition switch, distributor, fuse box, 12v connector, brake lights and flashing indicators. In addition, the engine has been fitted with a 12v electric water pump with manual switch. This luxurious car is ready to use with fresh anti-freeze added this summer. Some bills are available.The car comes complete with the following: handbook; jack and wooden blocks; wire wheel hub nut spanner; wheel disc spanner; complete second spare wheel and tyre; spare paint for bodywork; and a complete, new set of The Lanchester Legacy (four volumes). The history file contains details of the first owner; photographs of the car in its various colour schemes; detailed maintenance and mileage records for the period 1988-2006; and some original Lanchester parts drawings. The car has been a regular attendee of Lanchester Register, VSCC and other rallies, tours and events. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1926 Rolls-Royce 20hp Roadster Coachwork by Diskon & Molyneux (Australia) Registration no. BF 9865 Chassis no. GUK21 Engine no. G1736•Delivered new to Australia•Re-bodied as a roadster in 1975•Engine last rebuilt in 1997•Recently recommissioned'This model was introduced to meet requests for a smaller, less expensive car in keeping with the trend after the First World War towards smaller cars for a wider market. Construction was simplified - but standards of workmanship were not compromised...' - Edward Eves, Rolls-Royce - 75 Years of Motoring Excellence.Produced alongside the renowned 40/50hp Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, the 20hp model was equally well engineered and became popular as a lighter alternative suitable for a wide range of body styles. The 3,127cc, six-cylinder, monobloc engine featured overhead valves and drove via an in-unit gearbox, single plate clutch, and open shaft with spiral bevel drive. As the company's founder Henry Royce said when the car was introduced, 'simplicity was one of the aims of the designers, but not at the expense of perfection'. Intended principally as an 'owner driver' car, the Twenty sold well during the period following hostilities, being popular as a town car while many were fitted with touring bodies. This particular Rolls-Royce 20hp was originally fitted with a four-door saloon body by Motor Bodies London and shipped new to Australia for its first owner, a Dr Harding. In 1956 the car was dismantled, the body removed, and the engine rebuilt (the body was later restored and found its way onto a 1929 Rolls-Royce). In 1968 one Alexander Hawke bought the chassis, which after his death was re-bodied in 1975 as a two-seater roadster, with large boot, by Diskon & Molyneux of Sydney. By this time the car was like new. Then the engine was rebuilt again (in 1997) and the Rolls enjoyed three further owners in Australia up to 2021 when our vendor purchased the car and brought it back to the UK. Since then the Twenty has received a new starter ring and a new fabric hood (both in 2023) while benefiting from numerous adjustments including a clutch check (2023). Modifications from factory specification include flashing indicators; brake lights; windscreen wiper; heavy-duty battery; and a stronger rear main bearing. According to our vendor the Rolls is in generally excellent condition and starts and drives well. Accompanying paperwork includes copy factory build sheets; factory 'Handbook' and 'Catalogue of Parts'; Rolls-Royce Instructions (photocopy); useful set of tools and some spares; sundry bills; and a V5C Registration Certificate.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1965 Bentley S3 Saloon Registration no. EYA 338C Chassis no. B372NN Engine no. BHN186•One of 1,286 made•Present ownership since 1986•One former keeper•Restored 2017-2018Facing increasing competition from faster rivals and with development of its ageing six-cylinder engine nearing its end, Rolls-Royce had turned to V8 power as the 1960s approached. The V8 was, of course, the predominant power unit in Rolls-Royce's most important export market - the USA - so it was only natural that the Crewe firm would study the best American designs - principally those of Chrysler and Cadillac - for inspiration. Introduced in the autumn of 1959, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 appeared externally unchanged from their 'Cloud and S-Type predecessors, though the duo's performance was considerably enhanced by the new 6,230cc aluminium-alloy V8 engine. Although wider and shorter than the 'six' it replaced, the new power unit fitted relatively easily within the engine bay, relocation of the steering box from inside to outside of the chassis frame being the most obvious alteration to the previous arrangements. Externally the new models appeared virtually unchanged, while beneath the skin Rolls-Royce's own four-speed automatic transmission was now the only one on offer and power steering had been standardised. In 1962 the new V8 engine appeared in improved form in the Bentley S3 and its Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III equivalent, incorporating larger carburettors, a new distributor, and raised compression ratio. There were many other changes made to the S3/Cloud III, the most obvious being the adoption of a four-headlamp lighting arrangement, the absence of sidelights from the wing tops, and a slightly lower radiator shell. Inside the new models featured revised accommodation with separate front seats and increased room for rear passengers. The last mainstream Bentley to employ a separate chassis, the S3 remained in production until superseded by the unitary construction T-Series in late 1965, by which time 1,286 cars had been made compared with 2,556 of the equivalent Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III. This Bentley S3 saloon was acquired in 1986 having had one former keeper. Accompanying paperwork consists mainly of numerous invoices issued during 2017 and 2018 relating to what appears to be a no-expense-spared restoration (inspection recommended). Described by the vendor as in good condition throughout, the car is offered with an original handbook and a V5C document. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

E5J (see text)•Fitted with a 20/25hp engine circa 1998•Present ownership since 2010•Engine rebuilt in 2011•Extensive restoration since acquisitionChassis number 'GEN14' was first registered on 3rd August 1929. According to John Fasal's book The Rolls Royce Twenty, the cars first owner was an R. Moreland. The car was subsequently owned by a Colonel Page (up to 1957). Including the current vendor, seven further owners are listed, the third of whom, Michael Horner, purchased car in 1968 from Gerald Millward and sold it in 1985. During Horner's ownership the Rolls-Royce was stored unused. After frost damage the fourth owner on the list, Philip Cordery, replaced the original engine with 'E5J' from 20/25hp chassis 'GSY63', a former hearse belonging to Mascot Motors, which he purchased in 1998 from The Real Car Co in North Wales. The original engine number for this car was 'K8T' (this engine comes with the car and will need to be collected from the vendor post sale). Our vendor purchased the Rolls-Royce in 2010.Following a big-end bearing failure in July 2011, the engine was rebuilt by former Rolls-Royce apprentice Peter Males. Robinson Engineering in Ferndown re-bored the cylinder block and relined it back to standard, while further refurbishment was carried out by Silver Lady Services, who dismantled the car prior to respraying and reassembly. Smarts Body Shop of Ferndown repainted the car using RM Ming Blue, while the interior retrim was entrusted to K Baggs Trimming of Parkstone, who used materials appropriate for the car's age including Connolly leather to the front. Other items refurbished included the starter motor, dynamo, magneto, distributor, carburettor, Autovac, klaxon, and water pump (rebuilt prior to the engine rebuild). New clutch plates were fitted and the gearbox oil replenished, and the radiator cleaned out and re-soldered where needed. An oil filter and water thermostat were fitted, which were not part of the original specification but useful upgrades nonetheless. The car was rewired at the same time as the engine rebuild and the dashboard instruments all overhauled. The brake servo was overhauled shortly thereafter. The Rolls-Royce returned to the road in March 2012 (at 72,814 miles on the odometer) and our vendor advises us that the engine has been totally reliable since the rebuild. Two original keys for the bonnet locks are included (the locks on both sides are the same so either key fits both). The original doorhandle locks do not work, the doors being secured by padlocks, while the driver's sliding window has a piece of timber to insert in its internal track to prevent it being opened from the outside. Accompanying documentation includes copies of factory paperwork; old-style logbooks; numerous receipts for the engine rebuild and rewiring; aV5C document; and a quantity of expired MoTs dating back to 1996. The following items come with the car: wheel spanner; spanner for radiator cap; wheel cover removal tool; starting handle; jack; rubber mallet; and the aforementioned bonnet keys and door padlocks.

1969 Aston Martin DB6 4.2-Litre Sports Saloon Registration no. not UK registered Chassis no. DB6/4078/R Engine no. 400/4274•Delivered new in the UK•Matching engine and chassis numbers•Automatic transmission•Power assisted steering•Present ownership since 2011•Requires recommissioningConsidered by many to be the last 'real' Aston Martin, the DB6 was launched in 1965, updating the DB5. Although recognisably related to its Touring-styled DB4 ancestor, the DB6 abandoned the underlying Superleggera body structure of its predecessors in favour of a conventional steel fabrication while retaining the aluminium outer panels. Somewhat confusingly, 'Superleggera' badges continued to be applied for a time, presumably until stocks ran out. The wheelbase was now 4' (100mm) longer than before, resulting in an extensive re-style with more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Opening front quarter lights made a reappearance but the major change was at the rear where a Kamm-style tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5 and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox, and for the first time there was optional power-assisted steering. Today the accomplished DB6, despite being the most evolved and practical of the original DB family, is also, somewhat paradoxically, the most affordable. Its accompanying copy guarantee form shows that this DB6 (the fourth from last 'Mark 1' produced) was sold new in the UK via Rose and Young and registered as 'YMT 7H'. An automatic-transmission model, the DB6 left the factory fitted with various items of non-standard equipment including chrome road wheels; heated rear screen; two front seats belts; 3-ear hubcaps; power operated aerial; and power assisted steering. The original colour scheme was Silver Birch with black Connolly leather trim. The current vendor purchased the DB6 from Aston Workshop in July 2011. Aston Workshop's information sheet (copy on file) lists various works carried out by them including replacing the gearbox (1998); fitting central locking (2004); engine rebuild to 4.2 litres 'unleaded' specification (2006); fitting a Monte Carlo handling kit (2006); new road wheels and electronic ignition (2006); front suspension overhaul (2006); bodywork fully refurbished (2007); power headlight conversion (2010); and routine servicing. Since acquisition the Aston has been dry stored as part of our vendor's extensive private collection in the Middle East and will require recommissioning before further use. Additional documentation consists of copies of the manufacturer's Certificate of Origin and an old-style V5C Registration Certificate.Please note that this vehicle is from outside the UK.
