1966 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagoda Transmission: automaticMileage:97180The Mercedes-Benz W113 roadsters, designed by Paul Bracq, were produced from 1963 through to 1971 with their distinctive 'Pagoda' hardtop roof giving them their contemporary nickname. All models feature an inline six-cylinder engine with multi-port fuel injection using a mechanical pump system adapted from the diesel engine. All are rear-wheel drive and are equipped with independent rear suspension, a feature that greatly improved road handling. It made its debut at the prestigious Geneva Motor Show in March 1963 where Technical Director Fritz Nallinger introduced it as follows, It was our aim to create a very safe and fast sports car with high performance which, despite its sports characteristics, provides a high degree of travelling comfort. Mercedes-Benz Chief Engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut, who was as competent behind the wheel as most racing drivers, demonstrated the capabilities of the 230 SL on a tight short race track near Montreux in 1963 where he put up a best lap time of 47.5 seconds and, incidentally, out-performed Mike Parkes in his Ferrari 250GT.This 1966 230 SL Pagoda Mercedes-Benz has been subject to a restoration by a Hampshire based classic car restoration company, costing in excess of £200,000. The car is presented in silver with biscuit leather interior and has a new dark blue hood. Its original engine (included in the sale) was replaced by a 2.8 litre engine from a 1970 CE model, providing the car with better performance and is mated to an automatic gearbox. Recently this Pagoda has been treated to maintenance work to the braking system at a cost of circa £1,600. Offered with a V5C registration document, previous MoT test records, sundry invoices and an MoT test certificate valid until October 2023.Interested parties should note that whilst the car has been restored, we advise any prospective purchaser to read the condition report provided by Hemmels which can be obtained by way of a PDF from Historics or indeed can be seen in the history file at the auction. Since the report the Pagoda has had work carried out to the braking system at a cost of circa £1,600 and comes with a MoT test certificate valid until October 2023.

1964 Aston Martin DB5 Transmission: automaticMileage:10920At its unveiling the Aston Martin DB5 instantly became one of the most desirable and sought-after grand tourers ever created. Described by Autocar as ‘a car that defies definition’, the DB5 was all things to all men, as adept at storming the newly opened M1 motorway as it was burbling along quiet London mews—providing you could afford the hefty £4,248 price. The DB5 became an icon after being thrust into the limelight, while starring alongside Sean Connery in the 1965 James Bond spy thriller Goldfinger. Immortalised in celluloid, the Silver Birch dream machine became an overnight sensation that would alter forever, public perception not only of the model, but of the Newport Pagnell company as a whole. With a 0-60 mph sprint time of just 8.1 seconds and a top speed of 140 mph, the DB5 was the perfect tool for crossing continents in comfort, outpacing many period rivals including the fuel-injected Maserati 3500 GTI. The British machine also rivalled its European competition in terms of luxury, with a cabin trimmed in leather, reclining seats, and wool carpets cossetting its fortunate occupants. Standard equipment was also impressive, and included an alternator, chrome wire wheels, an oil cooler, power-operated windows, and twin fuel tanks. Fast, comfortable, and reassuringly expensive, the Aston Martin DB5 was one of the leading grand tourers of the 1960s—a reputation that it more than lives up to today, evolving into the marque's most timeless classic, appealing to dedicated enthusiasts and casual observers alike.First registered on 14th April 1964 chassis number 1529/R was originally finished in Platinum with red Connolly leather interior. The factory workshop sheets confirm various works carried out at Newport Pagnell up to January 1967 (at 21,691 miles). Fulham Workshops of Parsons Green (later Clapham Common) serviced the Aston for many years until they retired. In 2006 Aston Martin specialist Tim Bissett, was commissioned for a rebuild and upgrade; this work involved enlarging the engine to 4.2 litres, the fitment of fast road cams and a Billet crankshaft. Photographed in the history file is confirmation the car was used competitively for the 2001 Classic Marathon rally, wearing its number 65 and registration 2189 RD. Our highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic vendor purchased this car at a Bonhams auction in December 2017 before undertaking a full nut and bolt restoration. The two-year restoration is detailed in a hardback photo book supplied with the car showing the entire process before being completed and used for his daughter’s wedding. Part of the restoration included various upgrades to be implemented and during this restoration, our client installed a larger capacity aluminium radiator with electric fan, larger 6†wire wheels and tyres and power steering. Further enhancements include the fitment of central locking, an upgraded light system and a retro style modern DAB radio.The history file includes invoices from the restoration, together with the original order details, early servicing details and engine rebuild details from Tim Bissett. This example has been well cared for by our vendor who has owned a number of DB5’s and is supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 31st May 2023. The Aston Martin DB5 is often thought of as the ultimate quintessential British sports car, admiring the beautiful aesthetics of this curvaceous classic, it is easy to see why.* Interested parties should note that the private registration plate shown is to be retained by the vendor and a new, age-related registration issued instead.
1968 Bentley T1 Transmission: automaticMileage:24000Pre-dating Bentley’s 1980s resurgence, the T1 was produced in far fewer numbers than the equivalent Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, the ratio being 11:1 in the Shadow’s favour, making the Bentley considerably rarer today. On the road, the T-Series afforded its owners the advantage of an eye-line higher than that of most other cars, giving its occupants a commanding view of their surroundings while electrically adjustable seats ensured unrivalled comfort. Summing up the ownership experience in 1989, Classic & Sportscar observed, 'there's plenty of pleasure to be had from driving a Silver Shadow or T1, probably at town speeds more than anything. You learn to cope with its size very quickly. It soothes its driver like no other car.'This lovely example is presented in Mulberry with a tan leather interior. The previous owner had the car for 29 years and it was bought from him by the present vendor in 2015. The gearbox was rebuilt by Graham Whitehouse and has been serviced since 2015 by the present owner’s internal engineers/mechanics. It was repainted in 2017 and comes with a large history file which also documents an odometer change a few years ago, which translates that the car has done circa 81,000 miles in total (current reading is 24,000). It also has electric windows, modern radio replacement with Bluetooth connection and has lamb’s wool over rugs. This is an elegant and regal model with poise and oozes appeal.
1970 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward Transmission: automaticMileage:40988Rolls-Royce Motors formed Mulliner Park Ward by the 1961 merger of two Rolls-Royce subsidiaries: Park Ward of Willesden, London, a Rolls-Royce subsidiary since 1939 and H. J. Mulliner & Co. of Chiswick, a Rolls-Royce subsidiary since 1959. Mulliner Park Ward continues to operate as the vehicle customisation division of Bentley Motors Limited, the successor of Rolls-Royce Motors. The Corniche was a development of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow with the two-door variants of that model marketed as the ‘Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward’ two-door fixedhead coupé which was first seen in 1966 followed by the convertible version in 1967. The very handsome coachwork design was by John Polwhele Blatchley. The model was assembled and finished in London at Mulliner Park Ward as a continuation of the 1965 Silver Shadow Coupé, the Corniche name was applied from 1971 to all two-door coupés and convertibles.This rare Rolls-Royce was originally registered to the U.K. in March 1970. The car was exported to California and spent its life in the Golden State. This quintessentially British automobile must have been an impressive sight in America’s 31st State. This right hand drive example presents well in the period colour combination of cream and brown coachwork over a beige interior. The car was returned to the U.K. in 2022 and the registration process is in hand. On its return, this impressive Rolls-Royce has benefitted from a £15,000 recommissioning by marque specialist Ghost Motors of Claygate Cross, Kent. Full details of the comprehensive works are in the history file and include new window motors, four new tyres, new exhaust system, four new headlamps and a new battery. With only 505 early Mulliner Park Ward convertibles built this is an opportunity to purchase a rare car with recent expenditure. The car is supplied with copies of the original order forms and chassis cards supplied by the RREC and should prove to be a good investment.
1997 Caterham Super 7 ‘40th Anniversary’ Transmission: manualMileage:6247“There is little doubt that these cars are, pound-for-pound, the most fun you can have with your clothes on.†This hackneyed phrase is understandably well used for the simple reason that it is true. This writer has built them, owned them, driven them and raced them, none particularly well but smiles, oh yes. They also occupy their own spot in motoring history, not only for their relationship with ‘The Prisoner’ tv series, their wheels reflected here and shod in Michelin Pilot 195/50 R15 tyres, but also with no significant pause in production since 1957.But some are more collectable than others and, after 40 exciting years, it was time to celebrate. This special edition, including the original owner’s manual, fully stamped service manual (including recent cambelt change), was offered to just 67 lucky customers with cars all painted in a distinctive ruby pearlescent paint with a silver bonnet stripe and black coachline to give the Anniversary 7 a unique finish including a dash-mounted plaque detailing each car. Engines and general specification vary of course, this example carries the powerful Rover K-Series fuel-injected 1.6 litre engine mated to a five-speed gearbox and pushing out 115bhp at 6,000rpm. Impressive when the car weighs so little. Also included is the original order, the original invoices including all the extra’s such as the Supersport Package, stanchion mounted mirrors, wind deflectors, external 4-1 race exhaust, quick-release leather steering wheel, four-point safety harnesses, wind deflector package and bespoke tonneau cover. Performance and exclusivity, a heady cocktail.
