Collection of more than 1,000 photographs in five albums capturing military and leisure activities, including numerous photographs depicting Edward, Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) during his tour of the Indian Subcontinent and Japan in 1921-22. The photographs capture various cultures & customs, scenery & landmarks (including, for instance, the Egyptian pyramids and Great Sphinx of Giza), sports & leisure (including swimming, tennis, hunting, horse racing, and polo); vehicles (including aircraft, warships, cars), and moments of civilian & family life. Approximately 35 photographs depict the Prince of Wales engaging in various activities or meeting notable figures such as Prince Regent Hirohito. Some photographs were taken on board HMS Renown, including images of the Prince's farewell speech to the ship's company. The photographs are in various sizes, well-preserved, mounted on the original card album pages; the albums are oblong quarto size, bound in half crushed morocco, the boards and spines worn. Together with a handwritten letter from 'Officer Commanding 11th R.M. Battalion' to 'Adjutant General, Royal Marines', 29 March 1923, explaining at length that a pencil inscription by Wrangham (on an attached document) can't be accepted as a 'mere joke', and that he would therefore like him to be removed from his command (the inscription in question, which is on a typed military order, is 'Balls').

A lovely example of Honda's third-generation 'S-Type' roadster.One of very few right-hand drive Cabriolets registered in the UKRemarkable numbers; 791cc, 70bhp, 9000rpm, 790kg and 100mphAn incredibly rare and collectable car likely to cause a stir at any classic car showAccompanied by a history file including current V5 certificate and owners' manualA technological marvel from the days when engineers, rather than accountants, made the decisionsConsidering that it was, and probably still is, the world's largest producer of motorcycles, it's not surprising that Honda's first sports cars featured technology borrowed from its Grand Prix-winning two-wheelers. Engines were all-aluminium, twin-overhead-camshaft, four-cylinder units with roller bearings used throughout, and the early 531cc S500 and 606cc S600 models employed a part-chain transmission. Introduced in 1963, the S500 was Honda's first production motor car of any kind. Despite the tiny engine, its performance was amazing, a top speed of around 80mph (129km/h) being achievable under favourable conditions. The engine red line was set at a scary (in 1963) unprecedented 9,500rpm. Launched in March 1964, the S600 was the first of the family to be available as a closed coupé (the S500 was produced as a roadster only) and the first to be manufactured in left-hand drive form for export. It was also the most successful, out-selling both its predecessor and the later S800. Introduced in 1965 at the Tokyo Motor Show, the last-of-the-line 791cc S800 retained the separate ladder-frame chassis and chain drive of its predecessors. After approximately 1,000 cars had been produced, the S800 adopted a more conventional final drive consisting of a prop shaft and coil-sprung live rear axle located by radius arms and a Panhard rod. Front disc brakes, replacing the original drums, were standardised soon after. Revving to 8,000rpm and with 70bhp on tap, the S800 was good for almost 100mph and more than capable of giving the larger capacity 'Spridgets' and Spitfires a run for their money.Offered here is a super rare, right-hand drive Honda S800 Cabriolet first registered in the UK in 1968. Finished in classic colours with red paintwork, black interior and black hood. It's accompanied by a history file which includes the owner’s manual, invoices and a current V5C. This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a lovely little ‘60s sports car that will surely be the talk of any classic car event. A technological marvel from the days when engineers, rather than accountants, made the decisions.SpecificationMake: HONDAModel: S800Year: 1968Chassis Number: 1005028Registration Number: CDF 545FTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 1007224 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 83494 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Simply gorgeous, 1930s Anglo-German creation and one of only 19.The result of an agreement between BMW and AFN of Middlesex in 1934Basically a late-thirties 327 built by BMW and supplied to Frazer Nash already badged as Frazer Nash–BMW, with Imperial instruments and in right hand drive. Fitted with the 328's 1971cc straight-six generating 80bhp (327/80)Only 19 were imported with around 12 believed to have survivedUnderstood to have been fully restored by the TT Workshop around 2005Part of BMW UK's Historic Fleet since 2015 and displayed at various eventsCurrently being recommissioned by BMW and will be offered running and drivingAbsolutely stunning but some cosmetic detailing would return it to a Concours standardBMW’s reputation as a manufacturer of sporting motorcars really started with the annual Eifelrennen event, held at the Nürburgring on 14th June 1936. Here Ernst Henne beat a field that included 1½-litre single-seat racing cars driving the prototype of what would become one of the most iconic sports cars of all time – the legendary ‘328’. The fact that this victory had been achieved only eight years after BMW’s establishment as an automobile manufacturer is all the more remarkable.Capitalising on this success, the company launched a new range of models that would become the foundation of their reputation as a manufacturer of the highest quality cars with power and style. The flagship of the range was the 328 which incorporated a lightweight tubular chassis and a powerful straight-6 engine with overhead valves and triple carburettors. Alongside the 328, BMW offered the 327, a delightful sports tourer based on a shortened, boxed, ladder-type chassis with semi-elliptic rear springs, a Hurth 4-speed gearbox and hydraulic brakes all round.The 327 was available with a choice of two engines, one was BMW's standard 6-cylinder but, for an extra few Deutschmarks, the car could be fitted with the 328’s 80bhp unit. This engine was the masterpiece of designer Rudolf Schleicher and although only displacing 1,971cc, it utilised hemispherical combustion chambers, inclined valves and twin downdraught inlet ports generating a very credible 80bhp in standard tune. This design had two rocker shafts, one situated above each bank of valves, giving the engine an external appearance almost indistinguishable from that of a twin-overhead-cam design but with considerable cost saving. It proved capable of developing even more power and after the war would be used by Cooper, Bristol and Frazer Nash with great racing success.In 1934, a cooperation agreement was concluded with BMW, which made Middlesex-based, Frazer Nash the general importer of these German vehicles for the British market and at the same time allowed them to sell the cars under their own brand name as ‘Frazer Nash-BMW’. The cars were built by BMW and supplied to Frazer Nash already badged as Frazer Nash–BMW, with Imperial instruments and in right hand drive. When fitted with the 2-litre engine, they were known as ‘Frazer Nash-BMW 327/80’. This arrangement continued until the outbreak of war in 1939 when, unsurprisingly, it was rapidly terminated. Only 19 Frazer Nash-BMW 327/80s were imported and, it's believed, only 12 remain.The stunning piece of automotive artwork on offer here is indeed one of those surviving 12. AFN imported DAK 760 into Isleworth in early 1939 and it would be wonderful to tell you that we know all about the car's history since then, but we don't as very little documentation exists. We do know, however, that it was fully restored around 2005 by marque specialists, TT Workshop, and judging by a very similar car also restored by TT Workshop, the restoration costs would certainly exceed the car's guide today. It has formed part of BMW UK's Historic Fleet since 2015 and has been displayed at various events over the years.Attractively finished in Midnight Blue over Cream with blue pinstripes, the car has real presence displaying none of the stately Teutonic pomp normally associated with pre-war German cabriolets, but echoes the elegant lines of thirties' Alfas with styling cues that suggest the work of those ‘swoopy’ blue and cream creations beloved of the French coachbuilders. The story is continued throughout the interior. Lavish Navy Blue leather and luxurious matching pile await you as you open the door and the whole thing is capped with one of the most beautiful dashboards we have ever seen with cream-faced Art Deco-style instruments and clocks surrounded by an array of Bakelite switches and knobs echoing the beautiful wireless radios of the era. The folding soft-top appears in excellent condition and the jack etc. are neatly stashed in the tidy engine bay. One can only imagine the reactions of people when this cabriolet was first released in 1937, it still draws gasps today. It’s a design that’s very much of its time, yet an enduring one. 32,586 miles are indicated on the odometer, naturally not warranted, and the car will be offered running and driving with the braking system currently being overhauled by BMW and general recommissioning works being undertaken. It's an older restoration with limited recent use and inevitably there will be certain items that may be inoperative, for example we have been made aware that the clock and cigar lighter are inoperative and the fuel gauge a little temperamental. There are one or two areas in need of further cosmetic detailing but overall this remains a stunning example of 1930s automotive elegance and your personal inspection is welcomed and encouraged.

Over the years, this classic Jaguar has been used regularly attending exclusive classic car events and used for road trips through Europe, most recently completing a trip to Greece and back without missing a beat.According to the Heritage Certificate on file, #807461DN was manufactured in September 1956 and supplied new to the UK in right-hand drive and finished in Pearl Grey with a red interior and black hood. Pleasingly, the car today still wears the original rarely seen colour of Pearl grey and our vendor informs us that the vehicle remains matching numbers.It's accompanied by its history file which contains a copy of the aforementioned Jaguar Heritage Certificate, old registration papers, old MOTs, sales invoices showing brake and power steering upgrades, a wealth of invoices for maintenance including service paperwork from the Jaguar Heritage workshops and its current V5C.Having been enjoyed regularly, this glorious ‘50s XK is absolutely on-the-button and has the unmistakeable presence of a genuine British classic sports car as well as the added cachet of rarity as only 479 dropheads were built. Some careful detailing could bring this example up to the next level, however, wholesome, regularly used XKs like this rarely come to market and does make a nice change from the split-pin newly restored cars or restoration projects we often see.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XK140Year: 1956Chassis Number: 807461DNRegistration Number: 9418 APTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 98267 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

One of only 15 Double Rs produced and the only one built with aluminium bodywork.UK-supplied and just 1,369 miles from new with its two ownersOne of only 15 Double Rs in total and the only one built with polished aluminium bodywork (£15k option, standard cars were fibreglass)Powered by a 400bhp, supercharged 2.3-litre Cosworth/Duratec inline-four, mated to a 5-speed manual gearboxOnly 510kg, 60mph from a standstill in less than 3 seconds, 100mph in just 6.5 secondsFixed seat position with adjustable pedals offering capacity for drivers up to around 6’4”Benefiting from recent work in Jan 2022 with Bell Sport and ClassicThis is a serious motorcar offering unbelievable performance and exclusivityWhen it comes to motoring and sports cars in particular, there will always be someone who wants something just that little bit different, a car that puts performance and fun ahead of practicality and day to day transportation. This fact wasn't lost on Colin Chapman when he introduced the Lotus 7 and a number of small builders have carried on the tradition with varying degrees of success. Amongst them are Caterham, Ariel with the Atom, BAC with the Mono, KTM with their X-Bow, a rash of Radicals and the car we have on offer here, the Brooke-Cosworth Double R Supercharged 400.The Brooke Double R originally started life all the way back in the 1990s when the company was known as Brooke Kensington, and the car was the Brooke Kensington ME 190.The company was sold in the early 2000s and its new owners completely re-engineered the car, to the point where there were apparently no interchangeable parts, despite the fact that outwardly the cars did still look quite similar. The double R was offered with a variety of power outputs, normally aspirated 200 and 260bhp and supercharged versions offering 320 and a blistering 400bhp.This is a Double R 400, not surprisingly powered by a 400bhp supercharged 2.3-litre Cosworth/Duratec inline-four, coupled to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Weighing only 510kg, it can hit 60mph from a standstill in less than 3 seconds, and 100mph in just 6.5 seconds. It features a tubular spaceframe chassis, with every tube cut on a CNC laser and although the seat is fixed, the CNC-machined pedals are fully adjustable offering a comfortable seating position for drivers up to around 6’4”.This very special lightweight sportscar is one of only 15 Double Rs produced to date and is in fact the only one built with custom aluminium bodywork, a £15k option as all other cars were fibreglass. The first owner kept the Brooke in a storage bubble from new during his 12 years of ownership and used it lightly which explains the low mileage of just 1,369.The second and current owner has also clearly lovingly maintained this special car and he has also used it simply for its intended purpose, absolutely memorable days out. In January 2022 it benefitted from recent work and expenditure at Bell Sport and Classic and is now 'on its toes' ready for its next lucky owner. There are details on file of the cars recent servicing and maintenance work carried out over the years in the accompanying history file, along with previous correspondence from the first owner on the build etc.This is an incredibly special two-seater sportscar offering performance most supercars built today would envy. Combined with the fact that this is the only one finished with aluminium bodywork, low ownership, low miles and recent work and attention, makes this a seriously rare and exciting opportunity.NB; The Cherished Registration Number illustrated (1 WOA) does not form part of the sale and the car has recently been issued with a fresh MOT.SpecificationMake: BROOKE COSWORTHModel: DOUBLE R 400Year: 2009Chassis Number: BR00KE239DSUP00ZZRegistration Number: WA09 OAPClick here for more details and images

One of just 100 official, UK-supplied, R33 examples sold by Middlehurst Garage.The 42nd official, UK-supplied, R33 GT-R sold (#107). First registered 7/05/1998Supplied new by GT-R specialists Middlehurst Garage in Midnight Purple,Two owners from new, present for 16 years mainly in an air-conditioned garageIn its current state of tune, the forged internals engine has been dyno’d on a rolling road with 486bhp at the wheels (approx 600bhp at the flywheel) at a modest 1.4 bar of boostAccompanied by the original service book, owners manuals and maintenance recordsSpec highlights include 1000cc Injectors, Tomei Fuel Rail, single T78 Turbo, Trust extra capacity oil sump, AEM Series 2 ECU, triple plate clutch, 19” Nismo carbon dipped alloy wheels, D2 fully adjustable suspension, D2 upgraded brake kitThe registration 'N5 GTR' will stay with the carPerhaps underrated, but quietly influential compared to its forbears, the R33 incarnation of the GT-R is still a pure sports car experience, but now aided by some of the most revolutionary handling technology to influence modern performance driving.The new R33 Skyline GT-R was launched in January 1995 with a base GT-R and the V Spec model which offered a sportier suspension set-up resulting in lower ground clearance, and also featured the newer ATTESA E-TS Pro all-wheel drive system, which included an Active Limited-Slip Differential.At the heart of the V-spec was the ATTESA-ETS Pro Electronic Torque Split System which, at the time, made it arguably the most technologically advanced production car in the world. The system was conceived in the 1990s for the JTCC to enable some 600bhp to be fed through the wheels and on to the racetrack efficiently. ETS Pro satisfied the purists by offering all the advantages of rear-wheel drive until the conditions dictated otherwise.The V Spec also featured an active LSD on the rear axle which further aided traction by calculating the optimum torque-split between the left and right rear wheels, variable from fully locked to totally free.Working along with ATTESA-ETS PRO, is the SUPER HICAS rear-wheel steering. This uses a series of sensors to monitor vehicle motion, rate of turn and the driver's action on the steering wheel. Complex software then compares this information to the computer predictions of the car's ideal turning characteristics, adjusting the angle of the rear wheels to reflect the driver's intentions. The result of this type of technology? Neutral steering and unrivalled cornering capabilities.The engine in the R33 was nearly identical to the previous R32 using the same turbochargers and the same specification for the manual gearbox, although the synchros were made to be stronger.The increased body rigidity and improved handling potential necessitated several specially designed cross members being incorporated into the monocoque and extra torsion bars were added to the multi-link suspension to further enhance stability. Working closely with Bridgestone technicians to perfect the Potenza tyres, Nissan put the prototype R33 GT-R through its paces in all weathers at the notorious Nürburgring, earning them a daring reputation amongst other manufacturers.Tested in the wind tunnel and capable of around 175 mph, the Skyline GT-R's adjustable rear spoiler lets you find the best compromise between wind resistance and grip. To equalise front/rear weight distribution, the bonnet and front wings were made of aluminium instead of steel and the battery was fitted at the base of the car's boot, lowering the centre of gravity and further improving handling.Inside the Skyline GT-R, form followed function. Mono-form bucket seats with integrated headrests that are lightweight yet immensely tough provided the ideal driving position and supported the body against the G-forces endured under hard acceleration and cornering.The braking system was designed by Italy's famous Brembo Spa, suppliers to many of the world's Formula 1 teams at this time. Four-piston calipers were fitted on the front with two-piston calipers on the rear to bite into the discs with a diamond shaped ventilation bores which increased the surface area to aid heat dissipation. The GT-R's braking system utilises the same wheel rotation sensors used to control the ATTESA-ETS PRO, to activate the high-performance ABS, ensuring that the huge Brembo calipers always deliver optimum performance.The car presented here is the 42nd official, UK-supplied, R33 GT-R sold (#107) and was first registered on the 7th May 1998. Supplied new by renowned GT-R specialists ‘Middlehurst Garage’ (in arguably the best ‘Godzilla’ colour of Midnight Purple) to its first owner, a Mr Craven, who bought it as a company car. He was quite obviously a genuine Japanese sports-car enthusiast, with an understanding of the associated culture, especially 20 or so years ago. To release the latent performance potential from this sort of machine, Mr Craven commissioned specialists ‘Abbey Motorsport’ of Surrey to carry out an engine conversion from 2.6-litre to 2.8-litre (not dissimilar to the specification of the ‘mythical’ UK trio of ‘500R’ R33s). Knowing the expertise of Abbey Motorsport and that this is a well-known route to performance amongst GT-R owners, our vendor subsequently leapt at the opportunity to buy the car and thus become the car’s 2nd owner, cherishing it for the last 16 years. Unsurprisingly, it is accompanied by the original service book, owners’ manuals, and maintenance records.As a member of the GT-R Club and very much part of the owners’ community, our vendor is well-placed to understand and evaluate these special cars. His car is not only special due to its UK-supplied status and its amazing paint colour of Midnight Purple, but there have also been some choice enhancements added to it, something these cars thrive on and is regarded as the ‘done thing’. Hence, through his owners’ club connections, he sourced from another member a very sound RB26 2.6-litre engine, professionally installing it and setting about a raft of upgrades. In its current state of tune, the forged internals of this RB26 engine have been dyno’d on a rolling road with 486bhp at the wheels, at a modest 1.4 bar of boost which equates to about 600bhp at the flywheel. The engine can run at 2 bar, which would generate around 800bhp but would inevitably put additional strain on the components. Further spec details include 1000cc Injectors, Tomei Fuel Rail, single T78 Turbo, Trust extra capacity oil sump, AEM Series 2 ECU, competition triple plate clutch, 19” Nismo carbon dipped alloy wheels, D2 fully adjustable suspension, and D2 upgraded brake kit.Potential bidders should not be deterred by the engine installation or modifications, there are very few standard-specification matching-numbers R33 examples out there and would certainly demand a £100,000-plus guide price. Knowledgeable ownership, the quality of the work carried out and maintenance are key to these cars. Reassuringly solid on the underside (with most metal here having been preventatively powder-coated over the years) and inner wings, the known vulnerable area of a GT-R, the car has benefitted from such diligent improvements and ownership, plus regular servicing, and considerate storage - being garaged for the last 16 years in an air-conditioned facility.

A grown-up Mk2, the S-Type was the most aspirational saloon car of the period.The S-Type was a sporting saloon combining the best of the Mk2 and the Mk10With it's new independent rear suspension, it comfortably out-handled the Mk2 This is one of just 9,717 examples produced in RHD 3.8-litre specificationWith its original owner for almost 30 years, before passing it to his sonNow showing just 35,317 milesDelightfully presented in Regency Red with a classic Jaguar red leather interiorLots of original features, whilst befitting from an expert restoration in the 1990sA fantastic way into first-time classic car ownership, this high-specification S-Type would be welcome at any classic motoring eventProduced from 1963 to 1968, the Jaguar S-Type was technically a more sophisticated development of the Jaguar Mk2, offering buyers a more luxurious alternative. It was available with either 3.4 or 3.8-litre XK engines and featured longer rear bodywork amongst other styling and interior changes. Despite its extra weight, the S-Type's independent rear suspension allowed it to corner faster than the Mk2, especially on uneven surfaces, providing better traction and a much smoother ride for rear seat passengers with the consensus that the S-Type offered significant improvements over the Mk2 in road holding, safety and ride comfort. It was described as 'a convenient family car, a businessman's express, a sports coupé and a grand tourer.'The car presented here is a 1966 home market car in right-hand drive, 3.8-litre form, one of just 9,717 such examples and, with the manual/overdrive gearbox, the most desirable S-Type configuration. This matching-numbers car suits its Regency Red paintwork, working well in combination with its wonderfully original red leather interior. One of most well-preserved interiors we’ve seen in a Jaguar saloon of this era, it's a splendid space to occupy, benefiting from newer carpets fitted some time ago.According to the accompanying Heritage Certificate, it was manufactured on the 14th April 1966, and purchased by a Mr May, who owned it up until 1995, some 29 years, passing it on to his son who kept it until August 2021. It was originally produced in Golden Sand paintwork, but we understand was professionally restored/repainted in the 1990s (all areas of the engine bay and boot were painted well; there is no trace of the former colour). Bought by our vendor just last year, as he was just so taken with the one-family owner condition and sheer integrity of the car. Sadly, during the passing of time, the history file that once accompanied the car was misplaced and lost (the few pieces that remain include an MOT certificate from 1995 describing the car as ‘Maroon’).During the latter period of Mr May’s original ownership, we understand that the car was taken off the road and stored in a properly prepared garage for many years, being regularly run-up and cared for; its last MOT Certificate in 2003 shows a mileage of 35,129 miles (which is now just 35,400) with the car's overall condition suggesting this mileage is genuine. In the hands of our vendor, the car has been treated to some light recommissioning, and is said to drive and perform as it should. The 1990s restoration has held up very well, mellowing down with now a lovely honest patina in combination with untouched original elements. The paintwork retains a deep shine, whilst the underside is very solid and still retains a decent application of Waxoyl.Our vendor says the 3.8-litre engine always fires into life with three pumps of the throttle and a push of the starter button, with the automatic choke working well and cutting out once warmed. He goes on: "The car drives really well, it’s quiet and responsive and sounds just right through its stainless exhaust.”A fantastic way into first-time classic car ownership, this high-specification S-Type would be welcome at any classic motoring event. With Mk2 values now seeing some original examples out of the reach of many an enthusiast, the S-Type offers a more realistic chance of ownership. This extremely low-owner, highly useable ‘60s sports-saloon is worthy of any inspection and should offer many years of driving pleasure.

A proper sporting classic, thoughtfully prepared and looking, every inch, the sixties racer.Jaguar's seminal Mk2 sports saloon in the ultimate 3.8-litre, manual/overdrive configurationWearing Coombs-style metal spats, black wire wheels with chrome spinners, and leather bonnet straps front and rear, there is a real appearance of a period racing saloon Real kerb appeal backed up by a strong engine, a full stainless-steel exhaust, and a solid underside New carpets, belts and renewed seatsA usable fun classic car designed to be jumped in, driven, and enjoyedLaunched in October 1959, the Jaguar Mk2 offered a noticeably improved driving experience over its predecessor courtesy of revised front suspension geometry, widened rear track, and four-wheel disc brakes. It was also better looking and, fittingly, the Mk2 was voted 'Car of the Year' in 1959 and would form the mainstay of Jaguar's saloon car production until 1967. One of the most readily recognised cars of the 1960s, thanks in part to countless appearances in films and on television, Jaguar's seminal Mk2 saloon set the standard for the class throughout its entire production life and today remains highly prized by enthusiasts. With the advent of the Mk2, the 3.8-litre version of Jaguar's XK twin-cam six became available for the first time in the company's medium-sized saloon. In 3.8-litre, manual/overdrive configuration with 220bhp on-tap and a whopping 240lb/ft of torque available at a lowly 3,000rpm, it was a genuine 125 mph car capable of reaching 60mph in 8.5 seconds, outstanding figures for a saloon of its size and making it the fastest saloon in the world at the time.The car presented here a 1960 Jaguar Mk2 3.8-litre manual/overdrive example finished in fetching Indigo Blue. On offer from a small private collection of cars and used by our vendor on trips to Goodwood and Bicester Heritage, where it always turns heads, he describes it as “a fun usable classic designed to be jumped in, driven and enjoyed " and as having a ‘lovely, sweet 3.8 engine’ with no drips or leaks, fitted with small alloy trumpets, it is connected to a later 4-speed overdrive gearbox, this Mk2 both goes extremely well whilst looking a bit different from the more traditional examples out there.Wearing Coombs-style metal spats, black wire wheels with chrome spinners, and leather bonnet straps front and rear, there is a real appearance of a period racing saloon and this is finished off with a badge-bar adorned with genuine period badges, Speedwell wing mirrors, yellow Lucas lens covers, and Dunlop fog light covers. The bumpers have had the overriders removed and have been painted, period roundels and stickers adorn the bodywork and the whole effect is enhanced by a full stainless Falcon sports exhaust. The bodywork is described as ‘straight, with a few minor marks’ and, reassuringly, the underside appears completely solid.Between the photos attached being taken and the auction date, our vendor has treated the car to a renewal of its original Mk2 leather seats, the rears with picnic tables, the fronts now with period lap-belts, whilst a Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel, a new (but period-style) fire extinguisher in a leather holder and a new set of carpets have been added (photos of which will follow soon). One glance at 'KSH 687' and you are instantly reminded of those close range, black and white images of Grand Prix drivers sliding their Mk2 Jaguars around Silverstone in the early 1960s. It's a great colour, correctly presented and just looks right. It's not a competition car or a heavily modified, intractable 'fast-road' saloon but a straightforward, owner-friendly, road-going Mk2 and, if today's images were in black and white, it could well be from 1961 when Mk2s in the hands of Moss, Hawthorn, Salvadori and Hill were dominant in British saloon car racing. A usable fun classic car designed to be jumped in, driven, and enjoyed and, with its nostalgic looks, would be welcome anywhere.

These final cars (before being replaced by the more complicated 964) were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche's original design. Launched in 1984, and reviving the 'Carrera' name for the first time since 1977, these were the ultimate 1980s sports cars.The all-alloy, flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, giving a torque-rich 231bhp - enough to propel the lithe and slippery model to over 150 mph, with 0-60 mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. All 3.2 Carreras feature galvanised bodies, which together with Porsche's legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long lasting.Finished in Guards Red with a beautiful black leather interior, B323 PJC was imported from a dry state in the US during 2020 with an incredible 20,000 miles indicated and still sporting its original factory-spec tyres with visible and readable factory wheel weights. It was UK registered with the help of its accompanying NOVA Certificate and then duly gone through including transferring the spec from American to European in terms of bumpers, lights etc. giving it a far cleaner appearance.Greatworth Classics were the company that went through the car preparing it for the road including refreshing the whole braking system and totally recommissioning the car with a spend of just over £5,000. It was MOTd with a different set of wheels and tyres, as the car could not be driven on 35-year old rubber, however, it now sits back on those venerable wheels and tyres aiming to keep it as original as possible. There are receipts for all the work completed by Greatworth Classics and also a copy of the original US Title along with the NOVA Certificate confirming that all taxes were paid upon arrival. The current indicated mileage is 20,731 and recently the car had a total inspection by John Glenn, Independent Porsche Engineers, a copy of which is in the file. This cracking 911 Targa drives exactly as a 20,000-mile car should and still feels tight with a decent turn of speed.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 TARGAYear: 1985Chassis Number: WP0EB0915FS160156Registration Number: B323 PJCTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 64F00353Odometer Reading: 20000 MilesMake: Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Superbly presented, well maintained and less than 24,000 miles from new.Modern, aerodynamic and efficient body shape, with distinctive side strakes4.9-litre V12 producing 390bhp, capable of 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds and 196mphOriginally delivered to Europe with the correct Tipo F113B engine in late 1991Exported to Japan but returned to the UK in 2015The previous owner instructed Lights Cars Action (LCA) of Bordon to carry out a substantial mechanical re-commission (see website). Finished in early 2018 and LCA's account for this was £17,676 (invoice in file)Further attention in 2019 by Joe Macari Servicing (£3,952) @ 38,270km (23,780 miles)Only 122km (76miles) since then. Accompanied by its V5C, invoices and manuals etc.When Ferrari introduced the Testarossa at the Lido on the Champs-Elysees on the eve of the 1984 Paris Salon de l’Auto, it caused a sensation. The crisp, square-cut almost deliberately functional lines and superior mechanical specification instantly rendered the 512BBi yesterday’s car and was rightly regarded as possibly the best car Ferrari had ever built.The name 'Testarossa', literally Redhead, became synonymous with Ferrari sports racing cars in the ‘50s and ‘60s and was resurrected at that seminal 1984 launch. Housing a sweet and free-revving 4.9-litre flat dry-sumped V12 engine producing 390bhp, now cooled by rear positioned radiators, the car was capable of a respectable 0-60 mph time of 5.2 seconds and a top speed of c180mph. Produced between 1984 and 1991, some 7,177 Testarossas were made in total. Once again, time showed Pininfarina's design to be durable, and throughout the 1980s, the distinctive 'strakes' were echoed in other design disciplines from cars to kettles. However, although the design may have seemed to be 'of the moment', the Testarossa proved itself to be a well-built car, and despite its 'Eiger-rivaling' list price, turned out to be Ferrari's most successful model ever.The final evolution of the model (sometimes called ’88.5’ models) featured a lot more changes than just the new five-stud wheels. There were modifications to the steering column, suspension including the dampers, a wider track and new brake discs. From 1989, Testarossas ran the ‘B’-spec motor with KE-Jetronic and catalytic converters.Today, the Testarossa is a design icon, symbolic of eighties culture, and despite a period in the ‘boondocks’, its popularity is returning rapidly. It's not a surprise really since the Testarossa offers a rare package of serious performance, practicality, reasonable comfort and confidence-inspiring handling at high speed that becomes almost addictive.Originally delivered to Europe with the correct Tipo F113B engine in late 1991, this Testarossa was exported to Japan at some point, however, appears to have been hardly used there and was imported to the UK in 2015. It was purchased by its previous owner in May 2015 but not UK registered immediately, remaining in dry storage whilst he assessed his options. The following year he instructed Lights Cars Action (LCA) of Bordon, Hampshire to commence a full mechanical re-commission which included engine removal, replacement of cam belts, new clutch, overhauling brake calipers, new fuel pumps and hoses, new electric window motors, new distributor caps and HT leads, reconditioned starter motor, replacement brake master cylinder and much more. This work was finished in early 2018 and LCA's account for this was £17,676 and a detailed copy is in the file. The car was UK registered on 2/07/2018 and purchased by our vendor on 24/07/2018 to join the other impressive cars in his Collection where it has been enjoyed occasionally. It received further attention in January 2019 when a TDC sensor was replaced and the engine carefully set up by Joe Macari Servicing at a cost of £3,952 with the indicated mileage at that point 38,270km (23,780 miles). The Ferrari has only covered a further 122km (76miles) since then. It's accompanied by its V5C, invoices and manuals etc.Even today, few cars can match the on-road presence of a Testarossa, and this fastidiously maintained, low mileage example represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of these remarkable high-performance Ferraris at a very sensible guide.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: TESTAROSSAYear: 1991Chassis Number: ZFFAA17B000077224Registration Number: J185 EFUTransmission: ManualOdometer Reading: 38392 KMMake: Interior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images
