Jaguar XKR Coupe Registration number: RE07 YLA First Registered: 28-03-2007 Engine Size: 4196cc Colour: Gold Engine Number: 07022120029G Chassis Number: SAJAC43R279B17506 Current Mileage Shown: 51,960 V5C present When the Jaguar XK8 was launched in 1995 it was deemed as a master piece of automotive design, for too long Jaguar sports coupes had lost their lines and since the early XKE jaguars production failed to make an impact on the international sports car market . The first Lawson designed new XK8 harked back to the beautiful early E-Types and Aston Martins DB coupes . When the XKR supercharged version was released a couple of years later Jaguar had the sports car world in the palm of their hand and now was a major contender in the world supercar market, taking on Mercedes AMG and Aston Martin. The Jaguar XKR Coupe is an incredibly fast and fun car to drive thanks to its charismatic supercharged V8 and sporty handling. It's more involving than a Mercedes SL63 AMG and a BMW M6 and many say it has more class than both. Yet it is civilised too with a comfortable ride and sumptuous interior. The Jag's excellent refinement and smooth auto gearbox makes it easy to poodle around town, yet it's stunning on fast roads. The lightweight aluminium body makes the XK very nimble. In 2006 Jaguar introduced the new XKR, and an all new body style larger engine giving out a blistering 520bhp and 0-60 in an incredible 4.6 seconds. We are pleased to offer this stunning, second generation XKR. Registered in 2007 and finished in Champagne gold with cream leather sports interior it has every conceivable extra you expect for a car which cost new over £80,000. The condition is a credit to the owner with excellent paintwork, clean and unmarked interior. Mechanically is in excellent order, the engine is responsive and smooth with its reassuring Supercharged Bark at high revs and showing only 51,960 miles has many years left of trouble free motoring. With the car is a history file including service receipts and handbooks, this is an excellent example for the discerning driver or collector. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Paintwork very good. Interior very good, very little wear. Tyre condition good with more than 50% tread. Alloy wheels very good with minimal curb wear. Starts and drives well.

Mini Mayfair Registration number: G134 LRH First Registered: 11-08-1989 Engine Size: 998cc Colour: Beige Engine Number: 99HE210102183 Chassis Number: SAXXL2S1N20435675 V5C present The Mini was a made by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered a British icon of the 1960s, and its space-saving front-wheel drive layout allowed 80% of the area of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage influenced a generation of car makers. The vehicle is in some ways considered the British equivalent to its German contemporary the Volkswagen Beetle, which enjoyed similar popularity in North America. In 1999 the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century. This distinctive two-door car was designed by Sir Alec Issigonis, and was manufactured at the Longbridge and Cowley plants. We are pleased to offer a stunning and late example of this iconic car showing an incredible 4830 genuine miles on the clock. This one owner Mini has had long term ownership and has spent most of its life dry stored and consequently is in remarkable original condition. With rare automatic transmission and relevant documentation this a remarkable find, described by our department as nothing less than a museum piece. This 1000cc City Model was registered on the 11-08-1989 and it sports Immaculate original bodywork finished in Oyster with grey cloth interior, grey carpets and unmarked headlining. Bodywork is excellent with no rust and excellent original panel fit. The original rear sub-frame looks to be in excellent order and the car has never been welded, It is indeed a true time warp with very low mileage! A large history file accompanies the Mini complete with handbooks, old MOTs and service receipts. Still on the original Pirelli Cinturato tyres - the spare wheel and tyre is new and unused. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Paintwork very good. Interior very good with little wear. Displays incredible originality. Runs well and automatic gearbox changes smoothly. Tyres original from factory and perished though tread good.
Mini Cooper Registration number: R105 NSO First Registered: 13-01-1998 Engine Size: 1275cc Colour: Blue Engine Number: 12A2LK70 363131 Chassis Number: SAXXNNAZEWD154269 V5C present The revolutionary design of the Mini was created by Sir Alec Issigonis (1906-1988), considered a visionary in industrial transportation. It was intended as an affordable vehicle in response to the oil crisis. Along its production period it was built at the Cowley plants in the United Kingdom. In its long production Austin's successful attempts at making a sporting and competitive road and rally car resulted in the iconic Mini Cooper. In September 1990, the Mini Cooper RSP (Rover Special Products) was introduced. The RSP was the first Cooper in 19 years and the first Mini with a 1,275 cc engine in a decade. It was, to this point, the only non-Works Mini fitted with an oil cooler as standard. The production of 1,050 for the UK was nowhere near enough. It was an instant success and sold out even before cars began to appear in showrooms. Last series of the original Mini went on sale in 1995 and was the most refined iteration of the British city car. It also lost none of the original character or timeless style despite numerous modern touches and bold colours. This and very last run of The Mini Cooper, for this model RSP threw in every extra possible to make this machine fast and refined . We are pleased to be able to offer a most wonderful example of this sporting icon in fabulous condition . The paintwork is finished in its distinctive factory Tahiti blue metallic and sports original alloy mini-lite wheels, quad spots and its distinctive white stripe decals on the bonnet. The interior beautifully trimmed with its sports seats covered in Monaco leather , classic walnut dash housing a magnitude of period dials. With some expensive upgrades such as Mintex race brake pads, adjustable A-ride suspension, uprated Mini sports stage 3 twinport head, new alloys and Yokohama tyres. On the road this Cooper is great fun to drive. It has a punchy 1275 engine and a very smooth gearbox and the later Minis are also geared taller to make long distance cruising simple. This late Mini Cooper is a great offer for those who are after a car with real heritage, but also one that allows trouble-free ownership and can be driven on a regular basis. Showing an original 83,000 miles this lovely car has been the subject of huge expenditure to keep it in showroom condition, backed up with a large history file, receipts for several thousand pounds and owners related material. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Paintwork generally good, later respray now showing small areas of micro blistering on front wing seam cappings and some isolated areas of surface rust blistering near window surround. Interior very good, leather seats showing light wear. Steering wheel discoloured and worn. Alloy wheels and tyres very good. Runs well and changes gear smoothly.
MGTF Sports Coupe Registration number: VA03 WCV First Registered: 17-08-2003 Mileage: 82485 Engine Size: 1588cc Colour: Blue Engine Number: 16K4FP23106671 Chassis Number: SARRDMBEB4D621907 V5C present By 1991, Rover was working of a new mid-engined sports car similar in size (and expected to be similar in price) to the recently launched Mazda MX5 and Lotus Elan. The final product, the MG F, was finally unveiled on 8 March 1995, and went on sale in September that year with a 1.8 litre 120bhp engine and was joined several months later by a 145bhp VVC (variable valve control) version. It was hugely popular and received plaudits for its excellent ride and handling. The MG F received a mild facelift in August 1999 and with its revisions was renamed using the historic TF name in January 2002, but production was halted, following the collapse of the MG Rover Group in April 2005. The MGF remains a fantastic entry level classic that is more and more appealing to the younger enthusiast due to its cheaper price tag. On the road they are sprightly and handle superbly due to its mid engined benefits and complementary geometry. Styling is modern but with a classic flare drawing from sixties and seventies supercar design. This particular example is finished in striking metallic blue with sports cloth interior, showing a very reasonable 82,000 miles runs sweetly and performs as it should. The condition can be said to be extremely nice and with some further detailing and cleaning would present itself as a good candidate for the for the collector and enthusiast. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Generally good condition. Showing signs of repaint and areas of overspray. Light wear to interior, small rips to hood. Small area of surface rust to lower rear N/S arch. Tyres perished and front MG badge faded Starts and drives well.
MG Midget MK.3 Registration number: SVG 722N First Registered: 28-08-1974 Engine Size: 1275cc Colour: Orange Engine Number: 12U586PN1649 Chassis Number: GAN5.1467829 -G V5C present Throughout the 1960s and '70s, Britain led the world when it boiled down to affordable sports cars. The MG Midget was originally based upon the successful Austin Healey (Frog Eye) Sprite but with significant body changes and similar Sprite versions continued alongside to 1971. During it's life significant changes occurred including engine capacities rising from 948cc to 1493cc, with the most controversial being the 1500. We are happy to offer a very clean example of this MK.111 Midget. Powered by the successful 1275cc unit giving the car a very sprightly performance. For this model the square-shaped rear wheel arches became rounded in January 1972. Also in this year, a Triumph steering rack was fitted, giving a gearing that was somewhat lower than earlier Midgets. The car has been the subject of a fairly comprehensive restoration over the years and the vendor has been witness to newly fitted factory doors and wings. The interior upholds a great deal of originality, with correct seats, dash and dials. The engine is smooth and responsive, and she changes up and down the gears effortlessly. Finished in presentable, period dark orange with black sills, a revised recessed black grille, and squared off taillights as on the MGB and 13-inch Rubery Owen ''Rostyle'' wheels. To many this car represents the best of the bunch and prices are still incredibly affordable for what is a very classic British sports car. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Older restoration, paintwork good, showing signs of rust on rear N/S wing top. Interior worn and discoloured. Light tarnishing to chrome. Tyres perished. Runs and drives well.
MGB Roadster Registration number. LKN 259F First Registered. 12-10-1967 Mileage. TBC Engine Size. 1798cc Colour. Red Engine Number. 18GBRUH85251 Chassis Number. GHN3132674 V5C present The MGB replaced the outgoing MGA in May 1962. It then remained in production until the Abingdon factory finally closed in 1980. Compared with the 'A' the 'B' was a more comfortable mode of transport all round with more legroom and generally more creature comforts like wind-up windows. Initially all the cars were roadsters and the suspension was slightly softer than the MGA, but it still handled well. Despite being an inch or two shorter than the 'A' the interior space was better designed giving the passengers a bit more space plus there was now room for a more sensible amount of luggage when touring. But it carried on the 'wind in the hair' tradition of the great British sports car and while by modern standards it is not particularly rapid, in its day its performance was regarded as 'brisk'. The entire MGB range all used a version of the 1798 cc BMC Series B engine, which was a slightly enlarged version of the 1622cc Series A Engine. The 1960s Roadster was probably the best looking of all the MGBs , with chrome grill, bumpers and fabulous uncluttered styling more at kin with exotic Italian sports cars from a decade earlier . Interiors were very much 1960s with its Aston DB style dashboard, slimline, red piped sports seats and wooden steering wheel . Of all the models made over the 20 year production run, this was the purists favourite. The example we have on offer is has been the subject of a complete and comprehensive rebuild lasting a period of ten years between 1987 and 1997. The previous owner used a heritage shell and repaired the panels where necessary and then finished in striking red. Engine was stripped down and bottom and top ends completely rebuilt . Interior is extremely nice showing signs of patinated use. A very good example of an older restoration and still in good order, mechanically well maintained, rust free with great paint. Accompanying the car is a large boxed history file containing receipts and paperwork relating to the car and marque . Excellent examples are now regularly advertised at well over the 20k mark and of all the post war MG models the B roadster has seen the biggest recent increase in value . Buyer's premium of 12% inclusive of VAT @ 20%
Riley RME 1.5 Litre Registration Number: OAO 270 First Registered: 16-06-1954 Engine Size: 1496cc Colour: Blue Engine Number: 12830 Chassis Number: RME 22608 V5C present Riley's slogan was 'As old as the industry-As modern as the hour '. And to many the Riley proved to be the most successful motor car in the world. From its humble beginnings in the late 19th century to creating some of the most beautiful and advanced cars ever made. Riley prided itself on its sporting pedigree and with the help of aeronautical designers built gorgeous streamline bodies in the 1930s. The postwar RM series was derived from earlier body styling that gave birth to its predecessors such as the Kestrel and Big four. The RM's grace and quality of build firmly secured Riley's position as a major player in Post war Britain and although the company now run by Nuffield, managed to create probably the last truly classic Riley, taking aspects of the thirties but with a revised, more powerful twin overhead cam, one and a half and two and half litre units, bigger breaks by girling, independent suspension and better handling. The RM was born in the late 1940s and under the guise of earlier design was a truly modern motor car, or as Riley themselves described it in 1945, 'Magnificent Motoring'. In this sale we are pleased to offer two very good examples of the famous RM from a single vendor. This model sports the smaller, and very successful one and a half litre engine . A late RME dating from 1954 in charming smoke blue with black vinyl roof . In very good condition with no signs of corrosion, well maintained by its present owner and Riley enthusiast. Charming original interior, good chrome-work and is said to be mechanically good order. Riley RM prices are still sensible unlike their pre-war cousins, and with good spares availability and two strong national owners' clubs, they are a joy to own and drive. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Older restoration showing signs of minimal wear to paint. Chrome work good with areas of light tarnishing. Original interior with age related wear to leather seats and headlining. Minor perishing to tyres. Starts and drives well.
Riley RMB 2.5 litre Registration Number: GMO 212 First Registered: 06-06-1951 Engine Size: 2443cc Colour: White Engine Number: 61S8496 Chassis Number: 61S8496 V5C present From the same home as the previous lot, we are pleased to offer a lovely example of the larger engined RM series. Riley's experimentations with a larger engine for their RM resulted in the birth of the RMB. With a top speed now touching 95mph and 0-60 slashed from 25 seconds to 16.5 seconds this really was a very powerful motorcar of its day. With all these changes in what was still a heavy car but, consumption only dropped by three miles per gallon from the smaller 1.5 Litre unit to the new 2.5 unit. Finished in pleasant cream livery, body condition upon inspection reveals no corrosion and brightwork is in fine condition. The interior benefits from professional re-trimming in good quality leather with headlining and door cards also being renewed at some stage. Again mechanically in good order and ready for gentle recommissioning. A very smart and capable post-war sports saloon with great investment potentially, the RMB is rarer, more sought after and consequently not appearing as often on the open market. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Older restoration showing signs of minimal wear to paint. Chrome work good with areas of light tarnishing. Original interior with age related wear to leather seats and headlining. Minor perishing to tyres. Starts and drives well.
Dodge Business Coupe Registration number: SV 4369 First Registered: 22-04-1993 (in UK) declared manufacture 1927. Mileage: 72534 Engine Size: 3478cc Colour: Blue Engine Number: D934708 Chassis Number: A845701 V5C present Horace and John Dodge founded the Dodge Brothers Company in Detroit in 1900, and quickly found work manufacturing precision engine and chassis components for the city's growing number of automobile firms. Chief among these customers were the established Olds Motor vehicle company and the new Ford Motor company . Henry Ford selected the Dodge brothers to supply a wide range of components for his original Model A, that included the complete chassis; thus Ford needed to add only the body and wheels to finish the cars. Dodges main selling attribute was 'dependability', also their cars were built extremely well , hardy and consistent. Like the Ford model T and A series they were also affordable. The Business Coupe was the industry's first all-coupe body powered by a powerful 3478cc unit and due to its reduced weight and styling was a very usable and fast machine in Dodges range. This 1927 example is presented in its original colour scheme of 'Gendarme blue', over black and has been the subject of a professional re-trim . On close inspection the bodywork is in excellent order, paintwork very smart. She sits on original pattern, white walled tyres which are in good order. All internal instrumentation is standard and correct as are headlamps and side lamps Mechanically the coupe is good, its 3.5 litre engine is in running order and gear change is smooth. This is a rarely seen example in this country and like a lot of American imports benefit from extreme originality, this example is no exception and for those enthusiasts that lean more towards the oily rag machine but in fine working order this would be an obvious choice. With the price of many European, pre 1930 cars losing their affordability the Dodge presents itself as the perfect Vintage Sports Car Club entrant upon obtaining a buff form from the club. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Predominantly original car, repainted at some stage. Paint dull with some chipping. Starts and drives well.
Austin Seven AEW Sports Special Registration number: YVS573 First Registered: 1936 Engine Size: 749cc Colour: Maroon and black Engine Number: M290024 Chassis Number: 259536 V5C present In 1932 a coachbuilder called A.E.Wright at Bedford Garage, Beford Road, Alexandra Park, London started building bodies on new Standard Austin seven chassis. Modelled on similar specials like Swallow, Arrow and Gordon England it was Wright's attempt of a close coupled two seater sports which would potentially take a slice of the increasing affordable open sports market many car producers were trying to tap into. The AEW was a pretty little car with cut away sides and light body giving it type 65 looks but at a greatly reduced price tag due to construction on standard high chassis. Performance was significantly better than a standard Seven and with its folding windscreen and louvred bonnet had real sporty appeal. Unfortunately Wright's exploits were short lived due to the ever increasing competition and production costs, cars were made in low numbers approximately around 200, and very few survive today. It is said that this example offered is one left of four known. This rare survivor was discovered in 1993 in a farm yard . In barn find condition, ripe for restoration but remained complete with original engine, bodywork and factory fittings. Over the next few years it was subject to a full and detailed restoration by the discerning and knowledgeable owner who embarked on comprehensive strip down, refurbishing every aspect of the car but keen to keep as much originality as possible. Finished in maroon over black and can only by described as in fantastic condition, is a joy to drive. With its responsive rebuilt 750cc engine, four speed box and great lines will turn heads at any event. Given the car's rarity and history (we believe there are only two surviving two-seat AEGs) it is an obvious choice for the collector who loves all things Austin Seven, but craves something a little different from the many standard tourers and box saloons out there, but for very similar money. Sold with a large history file, photographic record and handbook she is ready to drive away, show or compete in club events. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Recent restoration, paintwork good, paint flat on bonnet top. Interior re-trimmed to high standard. Hood in excellent order. New tyres. Starts and drives well.
Sunbeam Alpine Registration number: 810 ASV First Registered: TBC Mileage: TBC Engine Size: 1592cc Colour: Blue Engine Number: TBC Chassis Number: TBC V5C present The Sunbeam Alpine is a sporty two-seat open car launched in 1953, it was the first vehicle from Sunbeam-Talbot Limited to bear the Sunbeam name since the 1935 takeover of Sunbeam and Talbot by the Rootes Group. Ken Howes and Jeff Crompton were tasked with doing a complete redesign of the Alpine in 1956 to produce a dedicated sports car aimed principally at the US market. A complete redesign of the model was begun in 1956 with the goal of producing a dedicated sports car. The Alpine was produced in four subsequent revisions through to 1968. Total production numbered around 70,000 with production stopped shortly after the Chrysler takeover of the Rootes Group. Production stopped shortly after the Chrysler takeover of the Rootes Group. The Series II of 1960 featured an enlarged 1,592 engine producing 80 bhp and revised rear suspension. A Series II with hardtop and overdrive was tested by The Motor magazine in 1960, they recorded a top speed of 98.6 mph, acceleration from 0-60 mph in 13.6 seconds and a fuel consumption of 31.0 miles per imperial gallon. This 1962 example has come to us with a large history file containing many old receipts for work over the years plus previous MOT certificates. Originally resisted as 6666WX the car now sports an age related registration number. Mechanically it appears to be in good shape, runs well and gears select as they should. On inspection the car is in good sound order, absent of any visible corrosion. Paintwork is dull and would benefit from some improving as does the brightwork. The Sunbeam benefits from newly trimmed seats and all in all appears to be complete. Very much a usable classic with room for improvement and detailing. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Repainted, paint flat with over spray. Colour change from red to blue. Interior tired, new seats. Running restoration. Starts and drives.
Clément-Bayard Registration Number: G 5391 First Registered: 01-01-1921 (Manufactured 1914) Engine Size: 1056cc Colour: Green and Black Engine Number: LM3B21069 Chassis Number: 4M3B21069 V5C present Automobile pioneer and racer Adolphe Clément first made bicycles and, later, cars and aircraft. Born at Pierrefonds in the Oise district of France, in 1894 he set himself up in Charleville in Paris with his first bicycle factory ''La Macerienne'', as he named it. At first he made only components, then followed with Clément bicycles. The motor cars came in 1899, financed by the considerable fortune Clément had amassed from his bicycle business and his acquisition of the exclusive rights to Dunlop pneumatic tyres in France. Clément was also successful in plane and airship production. The initial model range comprised three models (9Hp, 12Hp, 16Hp) and was enhanced in 1904 with a 6Hp single-cylinder, a 7Hp twin-cylinder, and 14Hp, 20Hp & 27Hp 4-cylinders. In 1910 Clément-Bayard started to manufacture a stylish, low cost, small, two-seater roadster, with a 4-cylinder 10/12hp, and a heater for the driver and passenger. It was very popular, and production continued until the outbreak of war in 1914. Tennants are extremely honoured to offer this rare and beautiful example of Clément-Bayard's four cylinder tourer manufactured in 1914. In 1978 the car was proudly featured in the film 'The Thirty-Nine Steps' starring Robert Powell. The car was used as the getaway car from the village hall scene. This very early car was registered in Glasgow in 1914 and has, by all accounts, spent all its life in Scotland. When discovered many decades ago it was 95% complete, and with matching engine and chassis numbers was a rare find indeed. The restoration was a straightforward one focusing on recommissioning and painting, not major fabrication and the addition of any non-standard and difficult to source fixtures and fittings. Some of the wonderful originality can be viewed simply by raising the period Dickey seat, still with early leather and mechanism, it is an example of how the previous owner was passionate about maintaining the car's integrity. Of the very few early Clément-Bayards known, a great deal are the earlier and less powerful twin cylinder models. This particular example sports the sought-after four cylinder engine which makes the car extremely usable on the open road and giving it every chance of completing the many Edwardian regularity runs every year. This indeed represents the exotic and rare end of the spectrum as a VCC entrant and attracts crowds wherever it goes. Finished in striking green over black and painted in its correct craft master style coach paint with an array of brass brightwork, the Clément, now 105 years old, is as usable and mechanically sound as it would have been post-manufacture. Prices of Edwardian cars have been rising steadily over the last several years, prices pushed up by the ever increasing veteran market. With some pre-1905 Brighton eligible cars hitting the quarter of a million mark, the Edwardian market is one that many collectors are trying to tap into and with ever increasing events designed for the post veteran owner, this Clément offers a valuable passport to high profile events all over Europe. Sold with original, valuable cherished number and comprehensive history file, with photos and reference to its film star status. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot.

Original vintage dealer showroom advertising poster for the 1965 Chevelle! America's most popular new-sized car! Corvette, America's sports car! Chevrolet, colloquially referred to as Chevy and formally the Chevrolet Division of General Motors Company, is an American automobile division of the American manufacturer General Motors (GM). Louis Chevrolet and ousted General Motors founder William C. Durant started the company on November 3, 1911 as the Chevrolet Motor Car Company. Durant used the Chevrolet Motor Car Company to acquire a controlling stake in General Motors with a reverse merger occurring on May 2, 1918 and propelled himself back to the GM presidency. After Durant's second ousting in 1919, Alfred Sloan, with his maxim "a car for every purse and purpose", would pick the Chevrolet brand to become the volume leader in the General Motors family, selling mainstream vehicles to compete with Henry Ford's Model T in 1919 and overtaking Ford as the best-selling car in the United States by 1929. The Chevrolet Corvette, colloquially known as the Vette or Chevy Corvette, is a front engine, rear drive, two-door, two-passenger sports car manufactured and marketed by Chevrolet across more than sixty years of production and seven design generations — with GM confirming in early 2019 an eighth generation Corvette in a mid-engine configuration. With its generations noted sequentially from C1-C8, the Corvette serves as Chevrolet's halo vehicle and is widely noted for its performance and distinctive plastic — either fiberglass or composite — bodywork. Very good condition, small tears and creases in margins. County: USA, year of printing:1965, designer: Unknown, size (cm): 102x150
