1978 Jaguar SS100 by Suffolk Transmission: manualMileage:3446Regarded as one of the rarest and most elegant of pre-war designs, the Jaguar SS100 was entitled to reflect its ability to reach 100mph and the model's combination of style and performance undoubtedly set the course for the company's future successes. With a total of just 314 original examples produced between 1936 and 1939, the SS100 is also one of the rarest with only 198 of the 2.5 litre and 116 of the 3.5 litre models being manufactured, most staying in the U.K. and, like its later C and D-Type siblings, generally considered to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing Jaguar cars ever built, with values of original cars continuing to rise steadily and remain beyond the reach of many enthusiasts. Although a fine touring car, the SS100 was marketed primarily for competition work. Its first major success came early, if somewhat unexpectedly, when Tommy Wisdom, crewed by his wife, won the arduous Internationale Alpine Trial in 1936, beating Bugatti, and bringing the fledgling marque to the attention of the continental public. This would be the first of many successful racing forays, including class wins in the RAC events of 1937 and 1938. Jaguar used a new Weslake-developed, overhead-valve engine in a shortened SS1 chassis. The introduction of the OHV unit was considered to justify the adoption of a new name for the series. SS Cars boss William Lyons later recalling, €œI immediately pounced on Jaguar as it had an exciting sound to me€ and was adopted as the marque name in 1943. With such iconic branding as the Jaguar SS100, it was inevitable that companies would seek to produce recreations. The best quality and highest regarded of these recreations were offered by Suffolk Sports Cars with close to 200 cars being built to date. They are widely considered as having set the benchmark for others to follow. Utilising an original SS100 to ensure exact and correct dimensions were achieved for the chassis, GRP moulds were taken from the original car to ensure that scale and tolerances were as accurate and close to the original as possible. The vendor purchased this example from a retired engineer who built this car between 2016 and 2017 from parts supplied by Suffolk Sports Cars as a project. The detailed and extensive list of parts and directions are enclosed within the history file. Needless to say, the body is an exact copy of an original 1938 SS100 with a steel internal frame making it very strong. The bonnet is aluminium replicating the original, with all-correct 200 louvres. A large number of parts are indeed identical to the original and will actually fit original cars as all parts are either new or reconditioned. The wooden flooring has been epoxy coated for durability and doubling pieces added as appropriate. Stainless steel fastenings have been used for durability and all wood mounted on the chassis rails utilise rubber gasket strips.The engine is a 4.2 litre Jaguar XJ6 unit and was reconditioned by Ivor Searle Ltd and connected to a lightened flywheel. It has a stainless steel tubular exhaust manifold together with the rest of the system. Carburettors are reconditioned 2€ SUs and electronic ignition is by a Powerspark distributor. The reconditioned four-speed gearbox has a rebuilt Laycock overdrive unit working on top gear with improvements made also to include softer front springs, quieter silencers and additional fuses for reliability. There are additional driving lights fitted which are wired to come on with main beam (via a relay), controlled via a selection switch on the dash and the fuel gauge has been electronically matched to the tank unit to improve gauge accuracy.The headlights are replica Lucas Q596s and matching replica 'owls-eye' rear lamps can be found to the rear. There is a tonneau cover, hood and side screens in black mohair together with a cover to conceal the folded hood together with a lockable rear compartment with a lift-out lid. There is an extensive build file, book and DVD of the photographic build history. It also comes with all old MoTs plus a new 12 month MoT test certificate, various invoices, Suffolk build manual (with additional notes), an XJ6 manual and a large file of specifications. This represents a beautifully put together Jaguar, striking in Phthalo Blue with a tan interior and wire wheels. Difficult to distinguish it from the real thing!

2017 Ultima GTR Transmission: manualMileage:3300Ultima GTR - The fastest accelerating and decelerating supercar of all time and multiple world speed record holder. The exciting Ultima GTR road car is the result of over 20 years of extensive research and development and is a product that takes the Ultima marque to sensational levels of fit, finish and performance. The world renowned GTR really is a supercar in every sense of the word which has officially humbled every last mainstream car on the planet bar none. In 2006, for instance, the GTR was crowned as the fastest production car in the world, beating the likes of the Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari Enzo and McLaren F1 to a plethora of world speed acceleration and deceleration records. In 2007, the GTR was independently timed around the Top Gear test track and was found to be a blistering 6.2 seconds per lap faster than the £450,000 Ferrari Enzo, staggering the onlookers witnessing the remarkable feat! Aerodynamic efficiency and balance has been of paramount importance on a car that is capable of over 200mph. Attention has centred around the length of the rear of the car to help clean up the airflow and thus improve down force, whilst maintaining a short front and rear overhang has ensured that the Ultima performs perfectly on normal roads taking speed bumps and ferry ramps in its stride. These developments have been comprehensively tested at MIRA (the Motor Industry Research Association) where the group was so impressed by the results that it sought an Ultima GTR as the centrepiece for many exhibition appearances publicising the extensive facilities that they have available for car manufacturers. The ultra clean look of the GTR and the faultless self-coloured gel coat bodywork has not been achieved through luck, but rather by design. The production car feel of the Ultima is immediately apparent, from the specially moulded headlight housings and covers to the immaculate panel fit and lack of any external body catches. Huge wheels front and back fill the wheel arches declaring its performance potential and the sensational appearance of the car has been applauded by designers and connoisseurs alike.This fabulous example is presented in the iconic and nostalgic Rothmans colours synonymous with the Le Mans Porsche sports cars. It is fitted with a 6.2 litre fuel injected LS3 GM performance crate engine with EFI ECU, mated to a six-speed Porsche G50 gearbox supplied by Ultima. It has an FIA roll cage, lowered floor pan, twin fuel tanks, big brake kit, Alcantara pneumatic seats with adjusters, double skin package and a Thatcham Category 6 alarm immobiliser. Its air box was designed by Gardner Douglas, has LED lights and carbon fibre box lids. The starter motor (new) and alternator have both been upgraded and the engine has been tuned by Wortec. Air conditioning has been fitted and the instrumentation is Ultima with a leather and Alcantara dashboard which is standard factory fitted. The car sits on three-piece Billet wheels, and we understand that this fabulous sports car weighs in at only 1093kg! A truly stunning sports car with shattering performance to match, superb at the fraction of the price of more familiar Italian rivals!!

1964 MG B Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:62864Conceived in the late 1950s and launched in 1962, the MGB would turn out to be one of the most successful sportscars of all time. Attractively styled, cheap to run and easily maintained by the home mechanic, the 'B' carried on MG's traditional role of providing affordable, sports car motoring for the ordinary enthusiast. The MGB was mechanically similar to the preceding MGA, though with heavier, unitary construction bodyshell. To compensate for the newcomer's increased weight, the existing B-Series engine was stretched from 1622 to 1798cc while the MGB's aerodynamically efficient lines made the most of the maximum available 95bhp to achieve a top speed which just topped the magic 'ton'. A 'right first time' design that changed little over the years apart from the adoption of a more robust five-main-bearing engine in 1965 (fitted from the start of GT production that autumn), a minor facelift for 1970 and the adoption of plastic bumpers (to comply with US legislation) for 1975, the 'B' enjoyed an 18 year production life and sales totalling in excess of 500,000 cars. Its popularity remaining undiminished today, the classic MGB is one of the easiest sports cars of its era to run and maintain in the 21st Century, being served by a worldwide industry of spare parts and service providers.Presented in British Racing Green, this 1964 MBG Roadster is the perfect foil for this summer's motoring. Its popularity remaining undiminished today, the classic MGB is one of the easiest sports cars of its era to run and maintain in the 21st Century, being served by a worldwide industry of spare parts and service providers.Guide Price £13,000-£17,000

1960 Austin Healey 3000 Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:The Austin Healey 3000 Mk. I four-seater was a sports car produced between 1959 and 1961. This version of the popular sports car featured four seats, making it a practical option for families and those who wanted to enjoy the open road with friends. Under the hood, the Austin Healey 3000 Mk. I four-seater featured a 2.9 litre straight-six engine capable of producing up to 124 horsepower, which was mated to a four-speed manual transmission. This engine allowed the car to accelerate from 0-60mph in just 11.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 112mph.This beautiful Austin Healey was built in August 1960 and despatched to Bournemouth Imperial Motors a month later. The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certified copy of the factory records is present and shows that the car features a heater and the ever-desirable overdrive. The file for this car contains various bills, receipts and details of earlier works. More recently this car has benefitted from a no expense spared restoration by marque specialist Gerald 'Jeggs' Stephenson. His 40 plus years of experience with Healeys is obvious to see in this immaculate example. HSV 925 presents impeccably in Healey Blue with Ivory white coachwork and a blue interior and features subtle upgrades to the braking system, a stainless steel exhaust and electronic ignition. The engine was overhauled and balanced at Richard Parker race engines and features a performance camshaft. This is possibly the finest example of a Mk. I available in the market today.

1970 Lotus Europa Transmission: manualMileage:9926The Lotus Europa used Lotus founder Colin Chapman's minimalist steel backbone chassis that was first used in the Elan, while also relying on its fibreglass moulded body for structural strength, and was based on a prototype built to compete for Henry Ford II's contract to build a Le Mans racing car in the early 1960's. The four-wheel independent suspension was typical of Chapman's thinking. The rear suspension was a modified Chapman strut, as used for Chapman's earlier Formula racing car designs with the handling prompting automotive writers to describe the Europa as the nearest thing to a Formula car for the road. The Series One was announced for sale in 1966 and was fitted with a modified Renault 16, 1470cc, inline-four engine and a four-speed gearbox. The Europa was designed and built to be an embodiment of Chapman's often stated philosophy of automotive design; simplify, then add lightness.This lovely 1970 Lotus Europa has had over £34,000 spent on restoration works over the last ten years. This included a new Spyder chassis with the Renault Fuego transaxle conversion. All new wishbones and suspension with coil-over shocks, new bushes, bearings etc. The engine was replaced with the revered Renault 807 Gordini style alloy engine, fitted with twin 40 DCOE Weber carburettors and a four-branch sports exhaust system. Repainted in yellow with the interior restored in black and yellow leather and the dashboard refurbished. The car is fitted with electric windows, central locking with an alarm immobiliser and a period looking digital radio and also the car's alloy wheels have been refurbished. The Lotus Europa is a classic sports car that was ahead of its time in terms of design and performance. Its lightweight body, powerful engine, and excellent handling make it a beloved car among enthusiasts and collectors alike.

1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda Transmission: automaticMileage:65513The stylish Mercedes-Benz W113 was presented at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show and replaced both the expensive 300 SL and entry-level 190 SL with one medium-priced two-seat sports car. The SL was a huge success, with 48,912 sold in nine years, and is now considered a true masterpiece. The body combines the elegantly trim look of contemporary Mercedes saloons with a simple grille derived from the 300 SL. Béla Barényi conceived the patented concave hardtop, soon called the 'Pagoda.' Like the best designs, the W113 has proven to be timeless in its appeal.We are pleased to offer this superb low mileage, two owner from new example which is an original and rare 'California Coupé', with the single bench seat as designated by option '417' on its factory record.Originally purchased in July 1969 by its first owner, a Mr. Luigi Bresciani an Italian ice cream manufacturer who ordered the Mercedes as a retirement present to himself. Interestingly Mr. Besciani ordered the Pagoda in U.K. right hand drive specification but had it delivered to his Italian residence. Later in 1972 he returned to England to join his family bringing the Pagoda with him. The Pagoda remained his pride and joy until 1982 when at the age of 80 he found his health failing and with great reluctance arranged for the car to be sold. At this stage, the car had covered some 51,000 miles. Our vendor acquired the vehicle at this time and carried out various maintenance work to ensure the car was ready for further use. The Mercedes was enjoyed for a further 8,000 miles and was taken around the country as well as on the continent.Offered from over four decades of single ownership, this superb example has covered a mere 65,513 miles and has had just two owners from new. Accompanying the Pagoda is a sizeable history file with many documents, sundry bills, service records, MoT test certificates, and even the March 1983, edition of Classic and Sports which the car featured in!Having been dry stored since the current vendors purchase in 1982, this Mercedes was last MoT'd in the early 2000's and has been used sparingly since. Presented in very good, preserved condition the paintwork retains a deep shine and shows little sign of age as does the interior and chrome work. The vendor reports that the car was working as it should when it was parked up in the garage some years ago, however it has not been started in recent times and as such some general recommissioning is required before use. Having covered little mileage from new and with a superb two owner history this example represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire an ever-desirable right hand drive 280 SL Pagoda. We expect this wonderful example to be keenly contested at auction.

1969 Porsche 912 Transmission: manualMileage:Manufactured between 1965 and 1969, the Porsche 912 was very much the entry level Porsche sports car. Although, for some time, considered the poorer relation to the 911, the 912 is a serious sports car in its own right. With aerodynamic lines, low weight and an efficient engine, the 912 demonstrated good performance, nimble handling and economy, resulting in initial production cars outselling the 911. The 912 won Car and Driver's 1967 'Readers Choice' Poll for its class, a popular choice for motorsport teams and a rally prepared 912 won its class in the 1967 European Rally Championship.This superb left hand drive example of this highly sought after model is presented in the rare evocative colour of Bahama Yellow with black interior. Its nostalgic sounding 1800cc four-cylinder engine is mated to a five-speed 'dog leg' gearbox. The vendor has just spent circa £2,000 on the car and it comes with a good history file including photographic proof of its restoration. This Porsche is in absolutely stunning condition with the vendor scoring it ten out of ten in terms of quality all round! This is certainly a Porsche for the collector or connoisseur without doubt.

1968 Jaguar E-Type Series I Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:The 1968 Series I E-Type Coupé, also known as the Jaguar XK-E, is a classic sports car that was produced by the British manufacturer Jaguar between 1961 and 1975. The Series I models are highly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts alike due to their striking design and impressive performance. Under the hood, the 1968 Series I E-Type Coupé featured a 4.2 litre straight-six engine capable of producing up to 265 horsepower, which was mated to a four-speed manual transmission. This engine allowed the car to accelerate from 0-60mph in just 6.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 150mph.This immaculate E-Type has benefitted from a nut and bolt restoration. In addition to the impressive works completed this coupé has been fitted with electric power steering, a five-speed gearbox and air conditioning. Other upgrades include electronic ignition, an aluminium header tank and a bespoke six branch stainless steel exhaust system. Originally registered in April of 1968, this E-Type presents wonderfully in Opalescent Silver Blue over a Dark Blue leather interior. The beautiful leather trim in this Jaguar was fitted by renowned auto trimmers Suffolk and Turley. Very few miles have been covered since the restoration that the vendor advises a running in by the new owner. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, an original buff logbook and a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, this E-Type is a serious contender for one of the best we have seen.

1964 Ford Lotus Cortina Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:The 1964 Ford Lotus Cortina was a high-performance version of the popular British family car, the Ford Cortina. It was a result of a collaboration between Ford and Lotus and was designed for racing and high-performance driving. Under the bonnet, the 1964 Ford Lotus Cortina featured a 1.6 litre twin-cam engine capable of producing up to 105 horsepower, which was mated to a four-speed manual transmission. This engine allowed the car to accelerate from 0-60mph in just 10 seconds, and reach a top speed of 104 mph. On the outside, the Ford Lotus Cortina featured a distinctive green and white paint scheme, and a number of aerodynamic modifications, including a front spoiler and widened wheel arches. The interior was also updated, with sports seats and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. With its lively performance and distinctive design, it remains a favourite among racing enthusiasts and collectors alike.This stunning example was purchased by our enthusiast vendor from a deceased estate. The family who sold the car knew it needed a full and sympathetic restoration and that our customer was the perfect buyer. The no expense spared restoration process not only involved acid dipping but after all panel work that required replacing was complete it was sent back for a process to protect from any future corroding. The two doors, bonnet and boot lid are original aluminium and this is an original A frame car that has never been raced and is rare as a standard road car. This low ownership example is offered to auction with a V5C registration document, a file containing various bills and correspondence from the Lotus Cortina register and is possibly the finest example we have seen.

2011 Bentley Continental Supersports Transmission: automaticMileage:39000The Bentley Continental Supersports is an iconic grand tourer, which is renowned for its high-performance and ultimate luxury. It was the fastest production car ever produced by Bentley and sports a twin-turbocharged 6.0 litre W12 engine, which churns out 700 horsepower and 750 lb-ft of torque. This allows the car to sprint from 0-60mph in just 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 209mph. It features a sporty design with a low-slung aerodynamic body, 21€ wheels, and a retractable rear spoiler. Inside, the cabin is elegantly appointed with the finest leather, along with a host of luxury features such as massaging seats, and an entertainment system with a 15-speaker sound system. The Continental Supersports is a perfect blend of power, performance and luxury, which is sure to turn heads wherever it goes.This particular example is presented in the beautiful hue of Silver Tempest, a very classy and understated colour, which allows the car to fly under the radar. Its interior is  Beluga hide with contrasting Portland stitching throughout. In typical Bentley fashion, the interior has leather on almost every surface, with carbon fibre trim and Alcantara inserts on the seats and door cards. The headlining is made up mostly of Alcantara too, with the control panel being covered in Beluga hide. The cabin of any Bentley Continental really is one of the best places to spend time in a car and the cabin of a Supersports makes the experience even better. The car has a total of 11 stamps in the service book, with the first eight being carried out by Bentley main dealers. The car has a valid MoT test certificate until 4th February 2024, which was obtained without any advisories, so the car can continue being enjoyed by the next owner.Interested parties should note that this car is supplied with a photocopy of the current V5C registration document not an original.Interested parties should note that contrary to the catalogue description, the power output for this vehicle is 621bhp, not 700bhp as noted in the description.

1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:9620The Jaguar XK120 was manufactured between 1948 and 1954 and was their first sports car since the SS100 which ceased production in 1940. It was launched in roadster form at the 1948 London Motor Show as a show car for the new Jaguar XK engine. It caused a sensation thus persuading Jaguar founder and design boss William Lyons to put the car into production. The '120' in its name referred to its top speed which made the XK120 the world's fastest standard production car at the time of its launch. It was available in two open versions; first as the roadster, then as a drophead coupé from 1953 and also as a closed, or 'fixedhead' coupé from 1951. With alloy cylinder head and twin side-draft SU carburettors, the double overhead-camshaft 3.4 litre straight six XK engine was comparatively advanced for a mass-produced unit of the time. With a standard compression ratio of 8:1 it developed 160bhp. This same basic design of the XK engine, later modified into 3.8 litre and 4.2 litre versions, survived into the late 1980s.This beautiful 1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster is a 1952 car and said to be sixth from last of the chrome sidelight models. It presents wonderfully in the classic colour combination of Old English White with a red leather interior. We are informed that earlier works included the fitting of telescopic shock absorbers and the rebuilding of the rear axle with a power lock differential and the fitting of a Kenlowe electric fan. The brakes were upgraded to XJ6 disc brakes to the front and XK150 rear disc brakes. The engine is a 3.8 litre straight-six example from a Jaguar Mk. IX to fast road specification and features twin SU carburettors. The gearbox is a five speed Getrag example. Although this very usable XK120 performed well on a recent test drive it does appear to have a number of rubber suspension bushes and gaiters that are perished and will require replacing. Inspection of this vehicle is encouraged.Interested parties should note the cherished number plate does not come with this car.

1973 MG B Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:34284Conceived in the late 1950s and launched in 1962, the MGB would turn out to be one of the most successful sports cars of all time. Attractively styled, cheap to run and easily maintained by the home mechanic, the 'B' carried on MG's traditional role of providing affordable, sports car motoring for the ordinary enthusiast. The MGB was mechanically similar to the preceding MGA, though with a heavier, unitary construction bodyshell. To compensate for the newcomer's increased weight the existing B-Series engine was stretched from 1,622 to 1,798cc, while the MGB's aerodynamically efficient lines made the most of the maximum available 95bhp to achieve a top speed which just bested the magic 'ton'. A 'right first time' design that changed little over the years apart from the adoption of a more robust five-main-bearing engine in 1965 (fitted from the start of GT production that autumn) a minor facelift for 1970 and the adoption of plastic bumpers (to comply with US legislation) for 1975, the 'B' enjoyed an 18 year production life and sales totalling in excess of 500,000 cars. Its popularity remaining undiminished today, the classic MGB is one of the easiest sports cars of its era to run and maintain in the 21st Century, being served by a worldwide industry of spare parts and service providers.This lovely example is presented in dark blue with tan leather interior. It was purchased by the present owner in 2018 and he has had the car serviced every year since, keeping it garaged all the time also. He fitted a new DAB stereo with Bluetooth connection and has made sure the car has had a MoT test certificate every year, with the current MoT test certificate expiring in September 2023. Its gleaming dark blue paint is in good condition as is its black hood. The original interior has been upgraded to walnut dashboard and centre console, tan leather seats and central armrest and there is a chrome luggage rack mounted on the boot lid. Its 1800cc engine is mated to a four-speed gearbox with overdrive, which makes for great touring ability. A pretty British sports car which never loses appeal.

1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:46028The 560 SL convertible was the latest in Mercedes-Benz's long and much loved line of luxury sports cars. Launched in 1983 it could trace its lineage back to the 230 SL of 1963. The 560 SL was powered by a 5.5 litre, overhead camshaft V8 engine producing 227bhp, an output good enough for a top speed of 220kmh with 100kmh reachable in around eight seconds. There were improvements to the running gear in the form of anti-dive, anti-squat rear suspension, a limited slip differential and revised steering geometry. The 560 SL has a high level of standard equipment, including leather upholstery, anti-lock braking, an anti-theft alarm system, stereo radio/cassette, leather trimmed steering wheel, gear lever and an improved climate control system.This flagship Mercedes-Benz R107 is presented in red with matching hardtop and contrasting magnolia leather trim and hood. This example originally delivered to the USA was imported to the UK in 2007 and is described by our vendor as in excellent condition having benefitted from dry storage and being maintained regardless of cost in its current tenure. Offered with an MoT until July 2023 the Mercedes comes with a sizeable history file and is perhaps the best example we have seen. Perfect for that trip to the continent or holiday home or perhaps just taking advantage of that 5.5 litre Mercedes V8. An opportunity not to be missed.

1997 Bentley Turbo RT Transmission: automaticMileage:59623This is a very specially equipped and unusual Bentley RT. The Bentley Turbo RT was the last of the Turbo R line and came with a 400bhp version of the 6.75 litre V8 engine. The Turbo RT was produced during 1997 and 1998 only, with 252 units produced. It was essentially a 'runout special', an effort to sell off the last SZ-style bodies before the introduction of the Arnage. Whilst all these cars were coachbuilt, the factory produced a few specially equipped Mulliner versions of the RT which featured a variety of custom options which made the Mulliner cars even more impressive.This wonderful example has been in its current ownership for over 15 years and has had just two previous owners from new. Acquired by our vendor with 32,666 recorded miles, this Bentley comes to the market with almost all the available Mulliner options such as wing vents, laser cut grille, big bore exhaust tip, picnic tables, extended wheel spacers and studs, upgraded anti-roll bars, chrome instrument bezels, chrome sports gear lever and 18€ wheels. These Mulliner options make this car really stand out when compared to other RTs. The car is equipped with a CTEK battery conditioning connection and is offered with a fitted car cover with Bentley motif.  Presented in striking Red Pearl coachwork with Sandstone leather interior which is complemented by red St. James piping and embossed headrests with lambswool over rugs and piano black interior trim. The car comes with four keys and three fobs and is fitted with twin independent electric fans in substitution of the original engine driven fan, which improves fuel efficiency tremendously. This Bentley has been maintained regardless of cost by various Bentley specialists, Balmoral, Phantom Motor Cars and Autofficina and is supplied with full toolkits, service history and original booklets, and a Parrot handsfree phone kit. After a long period of happy ownership and now with a recorded milage of 59,623, this RT is being offered for sale from a private collection, having little mileage in recent years due to the ill health of the vendor. This car has enormous road presence not only looking the part but sounding the part with a delightful V8 burble from the performance exhaust!

1934 Austin 'Speedex' Special Transmission: manualMileage:In Les Brown's 2017-published 'Special Obsessions' book the author outlined 15 reasons for the rise of the special in post-war Britain: 'Inventiveness', 'Practical Skills' and 'Surplus Parts' are some of the dozen-plus reasons why the specials movement took off, and then led to some suppliers and builders going on to greater things. One such was Jem Marsh, founder of Speedex and who later founded Marcos Cars. Today's classic scene has fully embraced the specials' movement, with many cars being resurrected in recent years for trialling, sprinting and racing events.For anyone looking for such a car this example offers an accurate snapshot of what a special should be. It is presented in polished aluminium with a black interior and comes with its original green logbook and the last three MoT test certificates. This pretty, agile and fun British sports car is powered by a 750cc engine and has twin SU carburettors and an LRM racing head. It comes also with an original Speedex parts book, Speedex information pack, Austin Seven handbook and a 2002 750 Motor Club bulletin showing Jem Marsh at the wheel of one of his Speedex cars. It should be noted that the car has an oil leak and water drips slightly from the water pump when the engine is running and it has not been driven on the road for some 20 years as this was to be predominantly a racing car. Please also note that this car will have to be taken from the Auction by trailer as the car will need to be re commissioned.

1985 Volkswagen Scirocco GTi Transmission: manualMileage:80444The Scirocco is a three-door coupé undergoing two generations of development between 1974 and 1992 before being re-introduced for a third generation in August 2008. Volkswagen began work on the car during the early 1970's as the replacement for the ageing Karmann Ghia coupé. The platform of the Golf and Jetta was used to underpin the new Scirocco, although almost every part of the car was re-engineered in favour of a sportier drive and the model's all-new styling resulted in a sleeker and sportier car than either the Golf or Jetta. A heavily re-designed Mk. II variant went on sale in 1982; a unique feature of which was the location of the rear spoiler midway up the glass on the rear hatch. A mid-cycle update occurred in 1984 which included minor changes over the 1982 model; a redesigned air conditioning compressor, a modified brake master cylinder with in-line proportioning valves and a brake light switch mounted to the pedal instead of on the master cylinder, also a new space-saver spare wheel was added, which provided room for a larger fuel tank. Leather interior, power windows and mirrors, air conditioning, and a manual sunroof were options for all years. As with the first generation Scirocco's, the car was assembled on behalf of Volkswagen by Karmann of Osnabrück.This left hand drive, UK registered, totally original and rare example was supplied new to Germany and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. It is presented in gleaming red with black GTi cloth interior and comes with, its original brochure, price list, radio, Scirocco Club register owner, electric windows, twin headlights and has low mileage considering its year of manufacture. These were striking looking sports coupés when produced originally and they have certainly survived the passage of time in terms of design. Great fun and very retro!

1998 BMW 750iL Transmission: automaticMileage:89550The BMW E38 is the third generation of the BMW 7 Series, which was produced from April 1994 to 2001. It replaced the E32 and was available with straight-six, V8 and V12 petrol and straight-six and diesel engines. The E38 was the first car available with curtain airbags. It was also the first European car to offer satellite navigation and the first BMW to offer an in-built television. Safety features include ASC+T traction control, headlight washers, auto-levelling low beam Xenon HID headlamps. Side tubular airbags (head protection system) were fitted as standard equipment. Active comfort seats were introduced in 1998, to improve comfort and reduce fatigue for the driver and front passenger. This system used two fluid filled bladders which alternate in height. Other equipment includes electronic damper control (EDC III), power moonroof, rain-sensing wipers, dual zone climate control, electric driver's seat adjustment and electric steering wheel adjustment. Double glazed windows were available (dual pane glass). Break resistant laminated security glass was also available, which is known to delaminate. The sport package included a sport steering wheel, sports seats, sports suspension, 'shadowline' exterior trim and unique wood trim for the interior. Some sports models also included a shorter differential ratio and higher stall speed for the torque converter.This one owner from new, left hand drive, example is presented in black with a grey leather interior. It comes with many original factory luxury fittings, including electric front seats, electric windows, air conditioning and built in original telephone. The car is presented with a full service history, all books and two sets of keys and we are informed, it is very good running order with its general condition being good also. A wonderful luxury saloon powered by the smooth V12 six-litre engine and lavished in luxury, this would be great to tour Europe or indeed enjoy or our U.K. roads. 

1927 MG Morris Oxford 14/40 Super Sports Special Transmission: manualMileage:24249Conceived and built in the truest sense of the classic coachbuilt motorcar, this 1927-vintage model uses the chassis, engine and drivetrain from a Morris Oxford as the genesis and inspiration by the previous owner, Beverley Hicks, to create this Super Sports Special, scaled up from a 1928 M-Type, the genesis MG from the Kimber factory. The initial drawings can still be seen in the comprehensive history file as well as the photographic progress of the build. With a beautifully constructed aluminium bonnet and scuttle and a complementing rear fabric-covered boat tail section which houses a stainless steel fuel tank and a surprisingly spacious luggage compartment, this complexly bespoke motorcar was ready for the road in 2003. The smooth 1.8 Litre engine has a Ricardo-type cylinder head, a lightened flywheel, a dyno-driven magneto and a Kenlowe electric fan, all of which are driven through a Morris four-speed gearbox sourced from an MG P-Type. The engine has been completely rebuilt with bills to go with it and has covered few miles since. The interior is trimmed in red leather with custom-made matching carpets alongside a handy double tonneau cover and hood. This sturdy MG-Morris has taken part in numerous competitions and trials with many photographs, magazine cut-outs and entrance forms accompanying the history file. Two brand-new spare tyres and accompanying inner tubes plus regulatory fire extinguisher etc. to make the car VSCC compliant for speed trial/hill climbs accompany the car as well as a file of original design drawings and circuit diagrams. A totally original copy of 'The Morris Oxford & Cowley Car Manual' from 1927, and 'Morris Bullnose & Flatnose 11.9 & 13.9hp Power Units' by Peter Seymour also come with the car. This reliable and VSCC-eligible MG-Morris Oxford Super Sport Special is ready for anything, whether it be a peaceful cruise around the country roads on the weekend or tackling a sodden assault course on a rainy day!

1970 Jaguar E-Type Series II 2+2 Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:69076The Jaguar E-Type Series II Coupé is a classic sports car that has a timeless look and is still highly sought-after. The E-Type was introduced in 1961 and the Series II Coupé was released in 1968. It features a sleek, aerodynamic design with a long bonnet and short rear end. The interior of the car is also very luxurious with leather seats. The powertrain for the E-Type is a 4.2 litre DOHC six-cylinder engine with triple SU carburettors. This engine produces around 220 horsepower and has a top speed of 150mph. The car also features a four-speed manual transmission and a four-wheel independent suspension system. The E-Type has a classic look that has not aged over the years, making it a great classic sports car. The Jaguar is still highly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts alike due to its timeless design and performance.Originally registered on 5th June 1970, this is a genuine right hand drive, manual gearbox, U.K. supplied E-Type. Finished in gold with black leather trim, this Jaguar has recently had a new head gasket. The rear brakes have also had work carried out and the rear suspension has had new mountings fitted. Further re-commissioning work is still required, however, this is a great project and is probably best described as a rolling restoration. Estimated at a very attractive figure, this Jaguar E-Type 2+2 Coupé offers plenty of potential for capital growth on your investment.

1983 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:185512The Mercedes-Benz SL is a roadster manufactured since 1954 and the designation SL derives from the German 'Sport Liecht' or 'Sport Light' and was first applied to the 300 SL 'Gullwing' named after the upward-opening doors. The term SL-Class refers to the marketing variations of the vehicle, including the numerous engine configurations spanning five design generations. The Mercedes-Benz R107 and C107 automobiles were produced from 1971 through to 1989, being the second longest single series ever produced by the Mercedes-Benz, after the G-Class. The R107 took the chassis components of the mid-size W114 model and mated them to the larger engines from the S-Class (W116). The SL variant was a two seat convertible/roadster with standard soft top, hardtop and optional foldable seats for the rear bench. Volume production of the first R107 car, the 350 SL, started in April 1971 alongside the last of the W113 cars.This Mercedes-Benz 500 SL is a fine example of a classic sports car. Fitted with the superb five litre V8 engine, we are informed the drive is effortless and listening to the 'purr' of the engine enhances the enjoyment of owning such a vehicle. Finished in light metallic blue with contrasting interior and with the desirable hardtop, this car is supplied with a V5C registration document and MoT test certificate valid until December 2023. This fine example can be enjoyed immediately and is ready for the coming summer months.
