Lot 118

The W124 is considered to be the last of the ‘million mile Mercedes’. Most engines and running gear were carried over from the previous model, but there were quite a few improvements. Multi-link independent rear suspension was a great improvement, and the whole car felt like a much more modern driving experience. The W124 had advanced crash protection, a bodyshell structure that crumpled progressively for example, while active safety was advanced thanks to the adoption of anti-lock braking as standard in the all the cars, being progressively introduced across the range.Originally registered on 16th November 1989, this W124 estate presents very well in Smoke Silver, which is complemented by black fabric upholstery. The car has been exceptionally well cared for in recent years with over £8,000 in invoices from the well-known Mercedes-Benz specialist John Haynes. We are advised the M102 2.3 litre engine runs well and the automatic transmission operates smoothly and efficiently. Supplied with a V5 registration document together with a current MoT test certificate valid until 21st February 2023, this very useable and versatile 230TE was an instant success and became the industry benchmark for reliability and engineering. The ample boot space, together with the folding rear seat combine to making this one of the largest load spaces available whilst still travelling in comfort.Significant service historyImpressive condition

2005 Alfa Romeo 147 GTATransmission: manualMileage:39,7502005 Alfa Romeo 147 GTA: Launched in 2002 as the top of the range hatchback model for Alfa Romeo, the GTA is powered by the classic Busso 3.2 litre 24 valve V6. Said to produce some 247bhp it gave a top speed of circa 153mph. Characterised by wider arches, Teledial 17-inch alloys and a more aggressive grille design, most examples had six-speed manual transmission whilst a small number featured the Selespeed automated manual system. In total, 5,029 147 GTAs were built, 1,004 of which were Selespeeds. This original UK manual example is presented in metallic silver. It was first registered in March 2005 and has just three former keepers. Its most recent service was by  CG Motortech in Milton Keynes in Sept 2021. This  car comes with two keys and is fitted with a Clifford Alarm system, OZ Racing 19” Ultraleggera wheels and the seats are upgraded to OMP Strada reclining bucket seats. With the current mileage at just 39,750 miles and having had very few owners this is a great find.

Lot 132

1955 Bentley R-Type by H.J. MullinerMileage:9,442 The R-Type is the second series of post-war Bentley motorcars and replaced the Mk. VI. Essentially a larger boot version of the Mk. VI. The R-type was a development of the Mk. VI Bentley with several mechanical improvements such as higher rear axle ratios. As with its predecessor, a standard body was available as well as coachbuilt versions by firms including H.J. Mulliner, Park Ward, Harold Radford, Freestone and Webb and others. Even by this date, there was little difference (other than the radiator grilles and the carburation) between the standard Bentley R-Type and the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn, though Bentley was still the more popular sporting marque. Indeed, the vast majority of cars produced were Bentleys with some 2,500 units manufactured during the R-Type's run. During development, it was referred to as the Bentley Mk. VII; even the chassis cards for these cars describe them as Bentley VII's. The R-Type name, which is now usually applied, stems from chassis series RT.This delightful Bentley has been owned within the same family since 1985. The penultimate owner having passed away a couple of years ago, the family transferred ownership into their name. Always having been a much enjoyed and cared example, it was decided during lockdown to try and bring the car back up to a good standard in memory of their late father. Specialist mechanical repairs were carried out which included replacing the head gasket and ensuring the ‘one shot’ lubrication system works correctly. The interior was thoroughly cleaned, with the leather being treated and the wood refurbished. During our inspection, the car started immediately when requested and ran extremely well, the 4566cc engine sounded excellent. We are advised she drives well with no known faults. This stylish, aluminium bodied R-Type, with coachwork by H.J. Mulliner is competitively estimated given the condition of the car and is well worth further inspection. Aluminium bodiedRecent mechanical work carried out

2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Pro-DriveTransmission: manualMileage:72,600 The WRX (World Rally eXperimental) flat-four engine is turbocharged and develops around 235bhp in initial trim. Relatively modest by today’s standards but anything but in-period, and its lively engine is mated to a manual gearbox and a sophisticated four-wheel-drive system. A relatively lightweight car, it goes like stink and took the motoring world by storm. Rally win followed rally win - and the Brits wanted a piece of the action, importing both saloon and hatchback variants by the container load.  The second-generation cars, available from 2000, officially boasted between 261bhp and 276bhp depending on the model, enough to propel the 1,360kg Impreza to a top speed of over 150mph via a 0-62mph time of under five seconds.  Rallying legends such as Colin McRae and Richard Burns took the already potent Impreza STi and turned it into an iconic machine, the likes of which we will probably never see again. On a performance-per-pound basis they were extraordinarily cheap when they were new, and a series of upgrades and model changes that encouraged owners to change their cars more frequently than they might otherwise have done. Originally registered on 1st September 2007 this Impreza has been very well cared for. The silver coachwork is in very good order as is the black leather interior. The comprehensive history folder includes the certificate and invoice for the Prodrive Pack in 2007 when the car was only a month old. Also present in the history folder is every previous MoT certificate. A Cat 1 alarm system is fitted (with PIN) and this Subaru comes with the original handbooks and service book with 11 stamps, five of which are by Subaru main dealers. Coil over suspension and a performance exhaust system ensure this is a car that not only handles well but sounds superb. Supplied with a current V5 registration document, a current MoT test certificate valid until 10th April 2023 and two sets of keys. With only three former keepers, this very well-presented Subaru Impreza WRX STi is a great car to drive.

Lot 152

2000 Mercedes-Benz G500 ex-Eric ClaptonTransmission: automaticMileage: 94,000 The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagen, short for Geländewagen (or cross-country vehicle), is a four-wheel drive vehicle/sport utility vehicle and characterised by its boxy styling and body-on-frame construction. It utilizes three fully locking differentials, one of the few vehicles to have such a feature. Originally developed as a military vehicle and offered as a civilian version in 1979, it proved so competent and popular that demand has ensured it is still in production today. Demand came from all over the world with such patronage as the Vatican and the, now famous, series of 'Popemobiles' to use on the Paris-Dakar Rally and many exploratory trips including one to Siberia, the worlds coldest region and driving a standard model traveling 19,000km without breakdown in temperatures as low as -63°F.Presented in brilliant silver with black leather trim, this desirable G500 was initially registered to Eric Clapton in September 2000 in Antigua, with the purpose to be used we are informed at his famous Crossroads rehab on the Caribbean Island. The G500 was infact one of three gifted to him by Mercedes-Benz. The purpose of the car was, we believe, to collect the rich and famous from the private airfield and chauffeur them to the Willoughby Bay Centre in luxury.Documentation including the Antigua and Barbuda registration certificates with Mr Clapton’s name can be found within the history file. Remaining in the ownership of the ‘Slowhand’ until 2019. Then our vendor purchased and returned the car back to the UK; where it has been serviced, re commissioned including a recent new fuel pump, starter motor and steering damper, and obtained a UK V5 and MoT test certificate until August 2023.With rugged good looks and a proven reputation for both on and off-road driving, this comes with a wealth of luxury items that easily brings this model up to date with other comparable offerings. Such as: factory air conditioning, heated seats front and rear, remote central locking, electric heated mirrors, rear factory parking sensors and privacy glass. A new eight speaker Alpine sound system with amplifier has been fitted and it sits on matching Michelin LTX tyres. Couple with the added bonus of such celebrity ownership, let alone the list of famous celebrities that this car may have transported such as Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, Colin Farrell and Billy Joel to name a few this will surely be a popular example.Previously owned by Eric ClaptonDesirable 500 petrol engine 

Lot 164

1987 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:50000Mercedes-Benz first introduced an SL model in 1954 following an original idea by American importer, Max Hoffman who foresaw a market for a car tailored to affluent Americans in the booming post-war United States. It has remained in production, in various guises and model years in the seven decades since then, making the SL the second longest single series ever produced by the German manufacturer. This very desirable face lift 500 SL is presented in Smoke Silver with beige leather trim and was first registered on the 5th June 1987. A low mileage example of the flagship R107 model from the latter years of production, featuring an array of modern conveniences as standard. These include cruise control, electric windows, and heated seats to name only a few. This car has had few owners since it was new, all of whom have cared for the car well utilising specialists to service and maintain the vehicle. Between 2012 and 2014 it was serviced by the country's leading SL specialist the SLHOP and recently it has been inspected and maintained by them prior to this listing. Fitted with an upgraded audio system, anti-theft system and boasting the optional rear seats. Found within the original and complete owners wallet is a service booklet with 14 stamps, and this SL is accompanied by two sets of keys. The V8 500 SL has long commanded the top of the R107 marketplace, and this example is in exceptional condition all round. We are certain that with minor investment, it could be taken to collector grade, but equally could be a fantastic drivers example for years to come especially given the leading specialists that have been commissioned to care for it.

Lot 182

1989 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5 16V CosworthTransmission: manualMileage:90,500In 1983, Mercedes-Benz introduced the Cosworth 2.3 16V into their range and the new cars were substantially different from the other 190 models. The body kit reduced the drag coefficient and the steering wheel was smaller than that on other 190s, whilst the fuel tank was enlarged to 70 litres. The Getrag five-speed, manual gearbox was unique to the 16 valve and featured a 'dog-leg' first gear. An enlarged 2.5 litre engine replaced the 2.3 in 1988 and offered double-row timing chains to fix the unreliable single chains on the early 2.3s. The power output was up by 17bhp with a slight increase in torque. It is debated whether the 2.5 engine was developed and built by Mercedes-Benz or by Cosworth … Interestingly, they were not keen to broadcast the fact that their most sporting saloon car had an engine developed by a British company. The suspension on the 16 valve models is very different from the standard 190 and as well as being lower and stiffer, it has larger anti-roll bars, harder bushes and hydraulic self-levelling suspension on the rear allowing the rear ride-height to remain constant even when the car is fully loaded.Presented in Smoke Silver with contrasting Black leather interior, this example features the desirable manual gearbox. Recommissioned in 2021 following a decade in storage, this Mercedes-Benz had £6,288 spent on it including a new battery, fuel distributor, clutch master / slave cylinders, spark plugs, injectors and brake calipers etc. In addition, the self-levelling rear suspension was fettled and the engine tuned. Currently showing some 90,500 miles, this impressive 190E boasts the original tool kit, spare wheel, owner’s manual, service booklet (the latter carrying sixteen stamps) and old MOT certificates from 1999-2011 in a large history file. Offered with an MOT Valid until 09 March 2023 a real wolf in sheep’s clothing.*Interested parties should note that the current registration does not come with the car and that a new one will be issued.Interested parties please note that this Lot is not sold with its most recent V5C however this has been applied for and will arrive in due course; we will forward this onto the successful bidder.

2005 Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Coupe Transmission: automaticMileage:3357The SLR McLaren, introduced in November 2003, was Mercedes-Benz's foray into the world of the supercar, alongside such cars as the Porsche Carrera GT and the Ferrari Enzo. It was developed in collaboration with the McLaren Technology Centre which, at the time, was partially owned by Mercedes-Benz. While Ferrari and Porsche pursued creating the best all-out supercars that the world had ever seen, Mercedes-Benz and McLaren attempted to create a car that coupled the best aspects of supercars with that of grand tourers. Engineers at Mercedes-Benz and McLaren took care to place the V8 as far back as possible in the chassis in order to improve the car's handling, giving the SLR near-perfect weight distribution. The SLR's engine produces 617bhp at 6,500rpm, thanks to a Lysholm-type twin-screw supercharger. A dash from 0-60mph took 3.8 seconds and the car leads to a quarter mile in just over 11 seconds with a top speed of 206mph. Its AMG Speedshift R transmission provides three manual modes to suit the owner's style of driving. Other remarkable technical features include the Sensotronic 'brake by wire' system, carbon-ceramic disc brakes and an automatic airbrake which can bring the SLR to a screeching halt from 120mph to a dead stop in less than 240 feet.This Mercedes-Benz SLR was manufactured in 2005 and presented in silver, typically synonymous with the Silver Arrows. This low mileage McLaren is in a condition commensurate with such few miles on the clock. The cockpit area of a SLR is a thing of beauty and to drive such a car is a memorable experience. The ultra-comfortable sports seats and luxurious interior are finished in black leather complementing the striking silver exterior. The SLR Coupé is a very versatile vehicle, comfortable to drive at 30mph, yet simply stunning to drive at high speed. The fabulous engine fires up at the press of a button on the gear lever which is reminiscent of a 'jet fighter' and drives with no known faults. Built in the UK and then shipped to the U.A.E, this SLR was then imported back to the UK in 2012 to our private owner.Recently MoT tested with a UK V5C registration document, this is truly a collectable example with circa 2,085 miles from new. Whether you are driving to your local restaurant or to the South of France, there can be few more exciting ways to travel than a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.

Lot 184

1980 Triumph TR8 Convertible Transmission: automaticMileage:27276Offered here is an original and very rare right hand drive, automatic example which was used by British Leyland as the factory demonstrator. Built to US specification the TR8 is fitted with a low compression engine for unleaded petrol and a Lucas electronic fuel injection system. Previously owned by Rex Holford, known to most in several associated car clubs simply as 'Mr TR8', who acquired the car in February 1987 and set about an extensive restoration over the next few years. This included a complete bare metal respray in its original colour of Platinum Silver and a refitted blue velour interior trim.This example is offered with an extremely rare specification as only 16 cars were fitted with automatic gearboxes and fuel injection. Additionally, air conditioning was factory fitted, as befitted a car designed for California. This Triumph carries engine number 15E0002 (the lowest known in that series). The other 15 automatic examples were left hand drive cars and shipped to the west coast of America. In total some 2,800 TR8s were built - the bulk of which were left hand drive cars exported to North America. There were less than 36 factory built right hand drive examples, and of these just four came with automatic transmission, making this a superb opportunity to acquire an important part of Triumph's history.Rex Holford was the TR Drivers Club TR8 archivist after having been the TR8 Registrar for many years and was very well known in TR8 circles in both the UK and abroad. He helped organise five TR8 days over the past 25 years (July 2023 will see another one at Gaydon, in his memory) gathering factory built TR8s from across Europe. His website, www.tr8archive.co.uk, remains a testament to his knowledge and passion for the marque. One could consider this vehicle to be his legacy.In 2021 the TR8 was treated to further mechanical work including an extensive engine rebuild and a complete gearbox overhaul. All work was carried out to a very high standard by renowned TR8 restoration and service specialists, Crucial Automatics. Included in the work was a full engine detailing and new Ethanol proof fuel hoses (to prevent E10 degradation). Having covered very few miles since the engine rebuild the appropriate care should be taken when running the new engine in, over the next 500 miles.

Lot 193

1979 Renault 5 Gordini Mk. ITransmission: manual The Renault 5 Alpine was one of the first hot-hatches, launched in 1976 - going on sale two months before the original Volkswagen Golf GTI. The right-hand drive version was shown at the British Motor Show in 1978 and was officially on sale from 4 April 1979 in the UK and was sold as the Renault 5 Gordini because Chrysler Europe already had the rights to the name "Alpine" in the UK. UK launch price was £4149, nearly a third more than the previous top model the TS at £3187, showing the considerable changes to the car over the 64PS TS which could not reach 100 mph compared to the 93PS Gordini which could reach 110 mph. The 1.4 L OHV engine, mated to a five-speed gearbox, was based on the Renault "Sierra" pushrod engine, but having a crossflow cylinder head with hemispherical combustion chambers and developed 92 hp, twice as much as a standard 1108 cc Renault 5. The larger engine and its various performance parts meant that the spare wheel could no longer fit there and was relocated to the boot/trunk. The Alpine could be identified by special alloy wheels and front fog lights and was equipped with stiffened suspension, but still retaining the torsion bar at the rear with added anti-roll bars. Renault quoted a top speed of 110 mph and tested in the July 1979 issue of UK magazine CAR, it achieved a 0-60 mph in 9.7 seconds.First registered 8th August 1979, this rare Silver Mk I Gordini is likely one of the earliest examples of a Mk I still in existence in the UK. Purchased in 2015 complete and as a good runner it was owned by two brothers who took great pride in their cars and loved this 5 dearly. They maintained the car- which could outperform a turbo car in certain situations- impeccably. The seats are very rare, in the original fabric and in fantastic condition, having spent much of their lives having been protected by special seat covers made to protect them and complement the original interior. As with all old Renault 5s it had some bodywork imperfections, therefore our vendor decided to sympathetically restore it, and spent many hours of the restoration determined to keep this car as original as possible- including a sympathetic respray. The decals have been reproduced from originals, wheels have been refurbished and diamond cut, new tyres fitted and it presents as a time warp example. Having been in storage since the restoration was completed and not driven on the road since, it is therefore stunning; but with this in mind, the car would benefit from a check over before it was driven on the road in anger. Simply put, find another… and then find another in this condition with thousands spent in a sympathetic restoration. A true collectors dream and incredibly rare on these shores. Why waste your time with a Mini, when you could have Gordini?Restored sympatheticallyIncredibly rare UK supplied Mk I

Lot 195

2010 Aston Martin DBS Volante Transmission: paddleMileage:39500A classic grand tourer in the truest sense and based on the DB9, it replaced the Vanquish in 2007. Obviously, as an Aston, it featured in a number of Bond movies most notably, Quantum of Solace with Daniel Craig, making full use of the 6.0 litre, V12 in front of him.The volante version, as this car is, offers a fully retractable fabric roof folding into the compartment located behind the seats in just 14 seconds. Transmission features a six-speed 'Touchtronic 2' automatic gearbox with a Bang & Olufsen Beosound DBS in-car entertainment system with no fewer than 13 speakers as if the exhaust note was not resounding enough.Fitted with additional carbon ceramic disc brakes to the striking 20-spoke alloy wheels, the tyres remain in good order all round. Under inspection, the Quantum Silver paintwork appears to be in excellent condition. There are light abrasions to the front offside splitter and rear boot trim piece but little more to criticise. The interior is a lovely Lords Red Caithness leather space with Obsidian Black contrasting panels, well looked after with full length Piano Black fascia trim. Supplied with an MoT test certificate valid until May 2023, this represents superb value for the remainder of the summer...Whilst this lot is currently registered in France, it has now been imported to the UK and a NOVA certificate issued to register the car once again in the UK. It is now expected that the previous UK registration number will be reassigned.Interested parties should note that this example will be, it is thought, reassigned its original registration of KX59 JMO

Lot 225

2000 Bentley Arnage Red LabelTransmission: automaticMileage:81,650Launched in 1998, the Arnage was manufactured in Crewe from 1998 to 2009 with its Rolls-Royce sibling, the Silver Seraph. They were the first entirely new designs for the two marques since 1980 when the Silver Spirit and Mulsanne models were introduced. The new Arnage (Green Label) was to be powered by a BMW V8 engine with Cosworth-engineered, twin-turbo chargers and the Seraph was to employ a BMW V12 engine. The Arnage Red Label was launched in October 1999 with the engine reverting back to Bentley power using the traditional V8 engine and a displacement of 6750cc. As part of the modification process, both Red and Green Label cars benefitted from expanded leg room in the cabin, stiffer bodyshells and larger wheels and brakes. First registered on 2nd October 2000 and supplied by Jack Barclay, this impressive example has been in the ‘Bentley enthusiast’ vendors ownership since June 2009. The file for this Arnage contains bills and receipts for servicing, the most recent with specialist Danny Wilcox of DEW services. It is presented in Midnight Emerald with Magnolia Connolly leather hide interior and it also comes with two sets of keys.  Presented to auction with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until the end of July 2023, this 6.75 V8 litre Bentley offers supreme luxury for a modest outlay.

Lot 232

1983 Opel Manta Transmission: manualMileage:40240Opel released the Manta A, back in 1970, as a competitor to the Ford Capri. Equipped with either a 1.6 or 1.9 litre CIH, (Cam In Head built by General Motors), and fitted with either a four-speed manual or three-speed automatic, the Manta became known as one of the best handling cars in its class. This also proved well in the world of rallying, where it had great success in both Europe and the United States. In 1975, the Manta B was launched, which was basically a redesigned Opel Ascona, but with more sporty styling, similar to the UK equivalent of the Ascona, the Mk.1 Cavalier sports hatch. The next major update came in 1982 when the Manta received the updated 1.8 litre engine, like the one we have here. This engine was more economical and could also use unleaded fuel. This proved very popular and was used up until the end of the production run of the Manta.This very nice example is presented in silver with grey interior. The owner carried out some welding to the subframe last year, of which the invoice can be seen in the history file, and the engine was serviced earlier this year. The history file also contains a sale brochure for the model old MoT test certificates and various other invoices. Please note that this car suffered some damage in December 1999 and was deemed a Category D Insurance loss. According to the HPI it states the vehicle was damaged but repairable and the insurer decided not to repair. The car has been taxed and has had an MoT since and is currently insured and taxed and on the road.

Lot 254

1992 Bentley Turbo RL Transmission: paddleMileage:108276The Bentley Turbo R initially inherited the turbocharged engine from the Mulsanne Turbo and also sported a retuned suspension and wider tyres on alloy wheels, quite a departure for a Bentley. From the 1987 model year, however, the Turbo R's V8 engine was retuned with new Bosch MK-Motronic fuel injection for added torque. Other modifications carried out at the same time included new sports seats and a higher rear axle ratio. Motor Trend called the Turbo R 'the first Bentley in decades deserving of the famous name' in their review of the car on its introduction to the United States in 1989. The suspension changes, though seemingly subtle, transformed the heavy car into a real performer and slotted above the Bentley Mulsanne S and Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, and it carved a well-deserved niche in the world of performance saloons.This long wheel base example was registered new on 9th April 1992 in Balmoral Green paintwork over Parchment interior with green piping and a green top roll. The history file that accompanies the car includes various MoT records including the most recent, which is valid until 10th September 2022. Offered at no reserve this is a very good opportunity to acquire a desirable RL example.

Lot 256

1975 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT 1800 Transmission: manualMileage:66Alfa Romeo's Alfetta name is synonymous with the post war 158/159 Grand Prix racing cars that became known as the 'invincible Alfetta' after winning every race entered in 1952. 30 years later, in 1972, Alfa Romeo re-introduced the Alfetta name with the introduction an all new saloon (Berlina); named such as the new car shared the transaxle and de Dion suspension design of the earlier race cars. The front suspension was all new thinking with a complex progressive rate set up which used torsion bars in place of the familiar coil springs of the earlier Giulias and Giuliettas. In 1974 a GT version was offered; designed by the stylist Giorgetto Giugiaro, the new Alfetta GT left little doubt as to the car's ancestry. With the gearbox at the rear coupled with the de Dion design and new front suspension, the Alfetta offered 50/50 weight distribution over both axles, giving the GT extraordinary stability at speed. In 1976, the GT, initially offered with a capacity of 1570cc (1.6 litre), was replaced by the 1779cc (1.8 litre) with the fuel filler-cap now visible, as well as the Alfa Romeo badging written above the number plate.The left hand drive example presented today represents one of the first series with the narrow metal bumpers and an 1800cc engine developing 118hp. It is presented in silver with black interior and comes with its green history book and a Auto Club D'Italia Certificate dated 2011. These Italian sports cars are lively to drive offering typically good handling with their 1800 four-cylinder engine providing ample performance.
