1986 Nissan 300ZX Z31Reg. no. E660 CNLChassis no. JN10HGZ31U0030368Engine no. VG30-071737Transmission: ManualMileage: 69,913MOT: Expired For a period of time the world forgot about 1980s Japanese sports cars, but these are now coming back with a bang onto the classic car market. The first generation of 300ZX, the Z31, was built from 1983 - 1989, offering buyers that typical retro sports car wedge shape with iconic pop-up headlights. With a drag coefficient of just 0.31 and Nissan’s first mass produced V6, the VG30, the car had good performance for the era. The 2+2 Coupe in 1986 featured some pre facelift parts but also some older parts as the model evolved, making it a unique year for these cars. This version of the Z car featured cruise control, electric mirrors and electric windows.This example with the 3-litre V6 NA engine, features a manual gearbox and glass T-top. It has been stored in a barn for a number of years whilst having sporadic work carried out. The paintwork has taken sun damage over the years, quite typical with a red car, but the underside looks to be solid having had some recent welding and the bodywork is quite straight. It has done very little mileage since 2018. The car runs and drives with the engine running smoothly and the gearbox selecting all gears. The interior also remains in good order aside from the driver’s bolster. The only aftermarket parts that appear to be fitted are a stainless exhaust system, cone air filter, radio and a Nardi steering wheel (original included). It has been sat for some time so the car will require some restoration, but it is a great base for what is now a very rare vehicle.The sale includes a number of spares, a V5C logbook as well as a large folder of history including old servicing and parts receipts. Previous work includes replacement of an outer sill, inner arch and section of the floor in 2021. It also received a timing belt in 2017 and an alternator in 2019 but appears to have very little use if any during current ownership. There seem to a number of parts receipts from Japan which suggests that many items are still available to buy.Estimate: £4,000 – 6,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

2006 Porsche 911 997 Carrera S ConvertibleReg. no. AY06 KLEChassis no. WP0ZZZ99Z6S762682Engine no. 68613594Transmission: ManualMileage: 100,482 (3,500 Since Engine Rebuild)MOT: January 2024 The Porsche 911 is known for being the everyday sports car with people able to use it to commute to work or take to the shops but, at the same time, enjoy a weekend drive or a cruise across Europe. With its unique rear engine, flat six drivetrain and unchanged shape since its first generation, they have been popular for good reason, for decades. The 997 generation was produced from 2004 – 2013 and was well received by both the public and motoring journalists worldwide. It has a sleek look with the headlight shape giving a nod to older generations of 911. The 997 shared just a third of its parts with the previous generation of 996 and as a result felt very different to drive. The Carrera S version like this example, had improved suspension, larger brakes and a 3.8 flat six producing 350bhp pushing the car to 62mph in just 4.2 seconds and the usual German speed limiter of 155mph.Having been part of a collection for a number of years, this manual, 997 convertible, has been very well looked after and dry stored with its current owner. It also shows just two previous owners on the V5C document. The black leather interior with silver trim presents well, whilst externally the body sits in black with black roof, silver 19” lobster fork alloy wheels and the red Porsche brakes standing out behind them. The car received a complete engine rebuild in 2018 by renowned Porsche specialists Hartech to the tune of £8,500 with a complete run down of the build included in the car’s paperwork, it has only done 3,500 miles since. Original Porsche manuals are present, as is service history and other paperwork including parts receipts and old MOT’s.These are fantastic cars. They sound superb, have a really nice manual gearbox and go as well as they should. Any new potential owner will not be disappointed with this example.Estimate: £22,000 – 24,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

1980 Xpack Kitted Ford Escort Mk2 YB CosworthReg. no. DNL 188WChassis no. BBATAA815570Engine no. YB 2WD Sierra CosworthTransmission: ManualMileage: 2,500 (Since Rebuild) 45,101 (Indicated)MOT: April 2023 The Ford Escort Mk. 2 is known worldwide for being one of the best rally cars of all time as well as seeing great success on race circuits as well. Even to this day it is one of the most used rally cars in the United Kingdom and Ireland. This Mk. 2 Ford may not be one for the purists but is certainly one to evoke the thoughts of both blue oval enthusiasts and retro car lovers alike. Sitting Ford Motorsport colours on a Zakspeed style X pack kit, those great box arches make the Mk. 2 so pronounced it looks like it wants to burst out of its own body. The X-Series options were offered by Ford to budding purchasers from the factory with this particular square body kit included, as well as the alteration of the front nose cone for the Mk. 2; although this particular kit is a copy of the original it looks fantastic and is well fitted. Engineer in a turbo Cosworth engine and mount it in a fresh engine bay, you have yourself, arguably one of the coolest retro fords around today. Now being released from a large collection this very car could be yours.The car was originally purchased as a project and built from the ground up to the visual greatness it sits as today. The car has covered less than 2,500 miles since it was built and has been part of car collections with its two previous owners. The impressive spec. includes a YB Cosworth turbo engine with a 3” stainless exhaust system running approximately 280bhp, 2wd running gear from a Sierra Cosworth and a MT75 gearbox. The rear end has had a popular 4-link axle conversion, coilovers fitted and a 2.4 quick rack added. It also sports a rally fuel tank, wildwood brakes with braided brake lines and fuel lines, whilst the car sits on Image alloy wheels. The interior consists of a bolt in roll cage, cobra bucket seats and RS2000 dash clocks.The engine bay is just as stunning as the rest of the car with its clean white finish and the engine with blue rocker cover complimented by silicone hoses and alloy engine parts. Due to little use and being stored in the dry the underside of the car also remains in good order. The boot is filled with rally spec alloy fuel tank and competition fuel system.The sale includes a photograph album of its original build process along with some MOT history and current V5C document showing 11 previous owners.Estimate: £28,000 – 32,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

1957 MGA RoadsterReg. no. UVM 242Chassis no. HDK 13/32092Engine no. E96649Transmission: ManualMileage: 14,172 (Indicated) The sleek look of an MGA over its TF predecessor results in a very different car all together. With a low seating position and aerodynamic body, it’s a beautiful little package. The sporty roadster is powered by a 1500cc inline four-cylinder B-series engine coupled to a 4-speed manual gearbox.This 1957 car is a lovely example of the earlier model and holds a fantastic history of ownership and touring. The car remains a nice example to this day with the red paint shining bright on what appears to be a solid body. The interior looks to be in good order and our vendor drove the car to our site on a beautiful winter morning. It seems to be ready to be enjoyed as a weekend classic or to continue taking a new owner touring. Detailed ownership history is included with the car and it suggests that the first purchaser was from Dorset, owning the car for around 27 years. It was then sold in the mid-1980s as a project and consequently fully restored including some zinc coated panels and an engine rebuild. The ground up restoration is documented in the history file with images and the cars current condition is a testament to the gentleman who did the work all those years ago. It took third place in the MG class at a club meeting at Silverstone and was sold there in 1986. Mr. Kingwell of Winchester then owned the car from the 80’s until 2020. Kingwell took the MGA to over 250 events during his ownership, from shows to European tours taking the sports car to great circuits and completing demonstration laps at places like the Nurburgring, Spa Francorchamps and Zandvoort. The car took part in four RAC/MSA Euro Classics 3-day tours and six RAC/Norwich Union Classics tours.The roadster is in original condition aside from having 72 spoke wire wheels, part electronic ignition and a spin off oil filter conversion. The sale includes various V5 documents as well as green card car registration. Many of its pre digital MOTs are included as far back as 1987 when it showed 77,000 miles on the odometer, suggesting the car has been around the clock with all the fantastic touring it has done. A folder of parts and servicing invoices are also included.Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

1961 Austin-Healey SpriteReg: VCO87Chassis No. AN5/48796Engine No. 9C-U-H-48504 Started in 1952 as the Donald Healey Motor Company in Warwick the first cars were powered by the 2660cc Austin Atlantic engine and called the Healey Hundred in view of its anticipated top speed of 100 mph. The 2-seater sports car was spotted by the head of the newly formed BMC and a deal was struck in 1952 at the London Motor Show where the car would be made by Austin and was sold as the Austin-Healey 100. In 1958 a small sports car was introduced powered by a tuned version of the 948cc engine as used in the Austin A35. The headlamps projected from the low bonnet and gave the car its distinctive appearance and it earned the nickname of ‘The Frog-eye’. The car on offer is one of 48,999 built on this chassis, according to Midget and Sprite Car Club certificates in the file, between May 1958 to May 1961 making this car one built towards the end of production. VCO 87 was registered on 17th April 1961 and is offered as part of a deceased estate. The late owner embarked on a full restoration of the car doing some of the work himself and entrusting some to professionals. There is a large amount of paperwork in its extensive history file relating to all the works that were carried out. A glance at this paperwork shows that nothing was left to chance and practically everything was done.Presented in light green the bodywork is in excellent condition. The interior has been retrimmed in green leather and new carpets fitted.  Although not shown in the photographs the car has the advantage of a new hood and side screens for those wet days we might have.Since the restoration the car has been used sparingly and been kept in ideal conditions in the garage.  Having seen so little use in the last three years a purchaser would be advised to do a light recommissioning although the car has been started regularly, the battery kept on trickle charge and it has driven a short distance.The Car comes with a current V5, an extensive history file, some copies of the Sprite Club magazine, old MOT Certificates as well as 3 copies of The Sprite and Midget workshop manuals (one of them published by British Leyland) and a Guide to purchase and Restoration by Lindsay Porter.Estimate: £15,000 - 18,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

CE318154The Riley 12/4 has always proved to be an excellent basis for sporting specials, the 1500cc engine giving a good turn of speed when required. This example has been the subject of a £40,000+ restoration, between 1992 and 2016, work that included a fully rebuilt engine, completely new coachwork, an entire re-wire and a new interior.

1932 Wolseley Hornet ‘March’ Special – the demonstrator car for 1932-34Reg. no. GX 9443Car no. 106315 (recorded by Barry at the time of discovery, original plate still present))Chassis no. 264-65 (recorded by Barry at the time of discovery, and on chassis plate)Engine no. 228/A65Kevill-Davies & March Ltd was a partnership formed in 1929 between Lord Freddy March and Hugh Kevill-Davies, an association which began when both were employed at Bentley Motors. After a short but successful career as a racing driver, Lord March was firmly established in the current motoring scene. With his artistic ability and natural understanding of line and symmetry, it was not surprising that he developed his ideas by styling sports and touring cars of the period. With the assistance of Rivers Fletcher, what has been described as the ‘March Line’, was produced in 1932 on the Wolseley Hornet Special chassis. There would seem to be no precedent for the long elegant wings at the time, since most sporting cars were produced with cycle-type mudguards, but from late 1932 long flowing wings were in vogue.In 1967 Barry Trevarrow recorded a Wolseley Hornet Special, minus two front wheels, abandoned in ‘Peacocks’ chalk pit in Wiltshire, which had been partly destroyed and vandalised. Jack Nichols had recovered the engine in 1967/8, local scrap merchants stripped the alloy off the body and Barry recovered as much as he could carry at the time, including part of the windscreen frame, the dashboard, the spare wheel carrier, wings and ‘March’ horn badge. Over the years Barry traced and recovered most of the mechanical parts but efforts to trace any documentation proved unsuccessful, due mainly to the fact that the car had been ‘cleared’ as unclaimed goods from RAF Upavon at some time in the 1960s by a local resident. Twenty years later Barry returned to the pit and rediscovered the chassis complete with firewall and identity plates. In 1986 Barry was able to take possession of the chassis and therefore he had possession of the whole car. In February 1988 Barry found the engine block and two wheels; the original engine block is present but is not part of the restored engine. Over many years, a great deal of research into this and other March Specials ensued, correspondence in the folder includes letters to and from The Earl of March, Rivers Fletcher and Michael Worthington-Williams.GX 9443 the ‘33’ version, was the prototype for a production run of under 25 cars, and probably coachbuilt by Whittingham & Mitchel. GX 9443 had been first photographed in July/August 1932 by Charles Bowers who did the publicity work for Kevill-Davies & March Ltd, (endorsed by Monty Bowers who was present when his father C.K. Bowers took the photographs) and was used by Autocar in their driving test August 1932. It was the demonstrator car for the company who sold cars as the ‘March Special’. The demonstrator had special features, the most prominent of which included a special ‘March’ badge on the horn, mounted in front of the radiator, and spare wheel carrier with the word ‘March’ engraved. The first March Hornet was GX 16, the second version was GX 9443, and this demonstration car was shown in all subsequent adverts. In the Light Car and Cyclecar of August 12th GX 9443 was featured in a full-page driving report complete with ‘rear tank protected with wooden slat armouring’.Barry’s long-term research supported his early hypothesis that this car was GX 9443, for example the ‘standard’ March did not have this type of horn or the double arched scuttle and the demonstrator had chromed wheels, horn and chromed hinges. Interestingly GX 9443 was also tested in Wiltshire in August 1932. According to Rivers Fletcher, The Earl of March’s own demonstrator was built in aluminium, yet all production cars were in steel. Did the Earl of March own GX 9443?The car has been partly restored over many years, the bodywork has been skinned in alloy and a new bonnet made to the original pattern. The engine has by repute been rebuilt and most parts are present to finish the restoration of this exciting and historically important motor car. In the file are the original chassis plate, original ‘March’ horn badge, a set of three rebuilt SU carburettors, ‘March’ spare wheel spinner etc. plus a huge quantity of literature including two original Wolseley Hornet Spare Parts Lists, another for a Hornet Special, an original Hornet Special Instruction Manual, a current V5C, various correspondence and research on other March bodied cars etc. There are also various spares including front and rear axles, three engine blocks, a radiator, etc.

Yeats His Watercolours, Drawings and Pastels, Cat. No.681, p.161 illusBy the time The Ringmaster and the Clown was first exhibited in 1909, Jack Yeats had already achieved a significant degree of fame and appreciation. Hugh Lane, a few years earlier, in his quest to establish a gallery of modern art in Dublin had approached artists and friends in an effort to persuade them to present works to form a nucleus of a collection. Jack Yeats, while still living in Devon presented three watercolours, The Rogue, The Melodeon Player and The Day of the Sports. By January 1908, The Dublin Municipal Gallery of Modern Art had opened at 17 Harcourt Street. According to Hilary Pyle, Jack Yeats had given what he considered his most up-to-date important work – character studies of contemporary Irishmen of the West.Pyle continues … ‘From about 1906, when Yeats was painting a little more in oil, a new spirit is noticeable in his watercolours. The images and manner are much the same as before, but they are treated more seriously, often isolated pictorially in space; and the themes generate a greater breadth of purpose. Synge’s friendship has made the artist see his Western Irish imagery in a wider context, so that landscapes and figures plumb more deeply from the particular to the universal’.Yeats writing in And to You Also in 1944, described ‘the parasol of the auditorium’ of the circus tent. ‘The sad-faced clown stumbles along on the ring-master’s left, while up above the ring-master on his right, sits the beautiful girl … on the back of a grand old cream horse … ’.  The circus life theme stayed with Yeats throughout his career, the images from his childhood life in Sligo indelibly etched on his pictorial memory, notably in The Haute École Act and That Grand Conversation was under the Rose, the oils of 1925 and 1943. In the present work the clown is, as Hilary Pyle describes ‘…. in merry mood, looking coyly at the spectator’.
