An important part of the Lotus Elise/Exige development history.One of only a handful ‘Motorsport’ Elise/Exige development carsRoad registered. An early press car featuring in a number of period press releasesFitted with a 190bhp Janspeed K-Series engineClass winner in the AMOC Yokohama Mid-Engined Sportscar Series and the Lotus Road Sports seriesOwned by our vendor since 2014. Recently in professional storageRace Performance, based in Lincoln, have recommissioned the car for road use including a fresh MOT, new battery etc.The vendor has applied for a replacement V5c, DVLA have advised this will take 6-8 weeksThis Elise is a very interesting car. It’s a genuine “motorsport” car, one of only a handful of Prototype ‘Motorsport’ crossover cars thought to have been built whilst Lotus were developing the Exige, essentially an Exige without the roof! Although this particular car has been prepared with circuit racing in mind, it is road registered to ensure all-round versatility for its owner, it was featured in a number of period press releases and, later in its life, saw service as a press car.The current owner, who has strong historical links to Lotus, raced it at the start of its life in the AMOC Yokohama Mid-engined Sportscar Series winning its class in both 2002/2003 and also raced in the Lotus Road Sports series. He later sold it, regretted it, bought it back in 2014 and has owned it ever since.Some of this car’s unique spec is listed below for clarity:One of the very first cars fitted with the 190bhp Janspeed K-Series engineMotorsport wheels with new tyres. Roll-cage, extinguisher, race seatsFactory fitted fire system and electrical cut off switches.Carbon airbox, limited-slip diff, short-shift gearbox, adjustable suspensionQuick-release, Lotus Cup ‘control’ brakes and tyres.This important piece of Lotus history has been in storage for a number of years as part of our vendors eclectic collection. In preparation for the sale, ‘Race Performance’, based in Lincoln, have recommissioned the car for road use including a fresh MOT, new battery etc. If the buyer wanted to race it then obviously some further pre-race preparation would be appropriate.In short, everything is 'on tap’ here for the Lotus enthusiast. This is an extremely rare car with interesting provenance and is remarkably versatile, being comfortable on both road and track with some serious performance available. We don’t know when an opportunity to buy a Lotus like this will come around again.SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: LOTUSYear: 2000Chassis Number: SCCCGA1111YHE30160Engine Number: 18K4FM16269923Make: Click here for more details and images

The already hugely competent SL55AMG further transformed by Brabus,17,788 miles from new.UK-supplied in right-hand drive by Brabus North in Wigan to Mercedes-Benz, Aberdeen. One of only six UK-built carsEssentially an SL55AMG re-engineered by Brabus530bhp + and 572ft.lbs from the 5439cc OHC, 3-valve,V8Absolutely immaculate in Brilliant Silver MetallicClassic R230 cabin in Charcoal leather and AlcantaraWith our vendor for the last four years, two owners prior17,788 miles supported by a full service history from newA very rare car (1/6) in sparkling condition at a very sensible guideAlthough Mercedes’ iconic W113 SL ‘Pagoda’ was certainly pretty, it’s generally accepted that the fifth generation of the ‘Super Leicht’, the early R230 (2002-2007) was undoubtedly the best looking of all the iterations of the SL. Painstakingly modelled on a state-of-the-art supercomputer which enabled the designers to analyse every curve and line, it looked utterly sensational with an air of barely contained aggression that gave it huge road presence. Even today, stood alongside its successors, it’s the 2004/5 SL500 that’s the most fluent and striking design. With its balletic folding panoramic glass roof, award-winning cockpit, Active Body Control and turbine-smooth V8, it’s no wonder that it was a great success.However, they were produced in commercial numbers, and there are always enthusiasts who would like something a little more exclusive and that market was catered for by Mercedes’ Performance Division, AMG, who in 2003 introduced their SL55AMG. Seriously powerful and impressively fast, the supercharged 5.4-litre V8 was rated at 493bhp and the AMG was fitted with larger wheels, bigger brakes, uprated electronics and some subtle cosmetic changes. The SL55AMG was expensive, exclusive and rather special but, as always, they were one or two customers for whom it wasn’t special enough and, for those discerning individuals, the Holy Grail was the Brabus K8.BRABUS GmbH is a German high-performance automotive aftermarket tuning company founded in 1977 in Bottrop. Their ‘K8’ was launched at the Geneva Salon and marketed as a ‘performance kit’ but in truth it’s considerably more than that. The engine modifications require that each Brabus dealer has a dedicated engine builder and similarly the suspension, electronic and cosmetic changes all require experienced specialists, hardly a ‘kit’. The engine modifications were primarily to the supercharger drive with a custom vibration damper and a new pulley for improved belt-drive geometry, high-performance metal catalysts, and an auxiliary circulation pump with opposing radiator. This raised output to a minimum of 530bhp and a tree stump-pulling torque of 572 lbs.ft, however, in this case we understand it might be nearer 550bhp. When he was fully happy, the engine builder signed a small gold plaque and attached it to the top of the engine.Brabus also tweak the car's aerodynamics to enhance high speed stability with a new front spoiler, while a more prominent diffuser works the air harder at the back to increase downforce. Underneath, the car's active body control suspension was recalibrated using an electronic module for the ABC, lowering ride height by 15mm, and the braking system was uprated by the Brabus engineers. Whilst the additional 40 odd bhp produce a small increase in performance, we understand that it’s the K8’s amazing handling that takes the SL55 to another level.The redesigned side skirts create an aerodynamic transition between the wheel arches and feature automatic illumination of the ground whenever the door is opened and the new rear apron incorporates a subtly altered diffuser. Externally, these modifications are not immediately noticeable which cannot be said about the striking polished 20” Brabus ‘Monoblock’ wheelsOn offer here we have an original UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG Brabus K8. It was supplied by Brabus North in Wigan to Mercedes-Benz, Aberdeen. Our vendor has spoken with Paul Farrar, Commissioning Manager - Brabus North who confirms that it was the "Most expensive car they did that year (c £165K). Their best engine builder worked on the car and it could well be producing in excess of 550bhp”.In addition to the car’s remarkable standard specification, the interior options included stainless steel door sills with an illuminated Brabus logo, an ergonomically-shaped sports steering wheel with airbag and genuine carbon trim and Dynamic seats that are cooled/heated, pulse massaging and wrapped in supple Charcoal AMG leather. The Brabus has been enjoyed by two previous owners who are both known to our vendor.

Presented in fantastic order, this is an extremely rare manual gearbox car with a warranted 34,300 miles.Finished in Champagne Gold with black MB-Tex and grey check cloth. Matching Factory HardtopThe indicated mileage of 34,283 is corroborated by MOTs back to 1989Recommissioned January 2020 following eight-years dry storage. New battery, tyres fuel pump, fluids, filters, brake serviceUprated period stereo. Original Becker unit remains with the car accompanied by operators manualGood history file, original book pack with stamped Maintenance Records, older V5s, maintenance invoices from Stratton Wilmslow etc.Just 3,000 miles in the last 30 years. Current MOT valid until 27/11/2021 with No Advisories Some cars just get better looking with age and the R107 Series Mercedes-Benz SL is definitely among them. Overshadowed for a long time by its graceful ‘Pagoda' predecessor, it's now becoming better appreciated for what it is - a beautifully built sports roadster that is totally dependable. To this day, no car door closes with a more reassuring ‘thunk' than a Mercedes SL, and everything about the car suggests solid engineering.Fast, comfortable and discreetly understated, the SL has a matchless ability to munch up the miles for year after year without ever seeming to falter. No wonder it stayed in production, fundamentally unaltered, from 1971 until 1989 - the longest production run of any Mercedes car to date.Powered by a fuel-injected, straight-six displacing 2,746cc and producing 182bhp, the 280SL continued in production until September 1985 when it was replaced by the 300SL which differed little apart from a slightly larger engineThis, head-turning, 1981, 280SL appears to have been first registered overseas and we would guess was collected from the factory as the service book states (in German) that the PDI was completed on 21/07/1981. A couple of months later it was UK registered and subsequently sold to Leo Hall in November 1981 before being transferred to his wife, Pauline, on 3/11/1983.Lightly used for many years and in dry storage from 2012 until 2020 the cars was recommissioned in January 2020 with a new battery, tyres fuel pump, fluids, filters, and a brake service. The indicated mileage of 34,283 is corroborated by MOTs back to 1989 which also confirm that the SL has covered just 3,000 miles in the last 30 years. The current MOT is valid until 27th November 2021 with ‘No Advisories’.Although delightfully original, it’s fitted with an uprated Blaupunkt stereo but the original Becker unit remains with the car and is accompanied by its operator’s manual. The history file is informative and, in addition to the old MOTs, has earlier V5s, the original book pack with stamped Service Records, and maintenance invoices from Stratton Wilmslow etc.A manual gearbox was a rare option for the 280SL in the UK which may be why the car’s original owner chose to source it in Germany and consequently they are very rare over here which is a shame as the 'cammy' 2.8-litre and the four-speed manual box offer a much more spritely and sporting drive all round. Highly recommended.SpecificationMake: MERCEDESModel: 280SL MANUALYear: 1981Chassis Number: 10704220011030Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 110986-2005135Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 34284 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black/Grey PlaidClick here for more details and images

On the button with an FIA/MSA HTP valid until the end of 2028.Dating from 1965, this venerable Sunbeam Tiger spent the first 25 years in Colorado with its first ownerReturned to the UK and purchased by our vendor in 1990Strengthened for competition. Photo-documented rebuild (No1) in 1990Fitted with an aluminium boot lid and hardtop (ex-Works)Rallied at home and in Europe during the following years and subsequently converted into racer in the late nineties. Full history and photos in fileRetired to our vendors collection for many years before total rebuild No. 2 in 2015/17 and more racing in 2018Centre piece on the Tiger stand at the NEC in 2018Massive spares package (incl 260ci engine). Four-volume history fileAccording to the Sunbeam Tiger Production Record, #000653 was finally assembled on 12/10/1965 prior to being finished in Mediterranean Blue, fitted with a hardtop, shipped to the United States and delivered to its first owner, American airman Michael Hercules. A small British sports car (albeit with a big V8) seems an unusual choice in Colorado but even more unusual is the fact that he kept it for 24 years. Unusually for a US car, its history Stateside is excellent with virtually every annual registration document from all over Colorado and California up to 1988 when it was re-registered to his wife, Anne in mid-1989.After import to the UK by Bruce Stevens, the Tiger was purchased by our vendor in 1990 and UK registered on 30/01/1991. In the history file there are pictures of the Sunbeam pre-shipment and after arriving here prior to commencing its first total rebuild. The chassis was sandblasted, carefully strengthened and seam welded in key areas, a steel firewall fabricated and with numerous new components, a tuned 260cubic inch engine and fresh paintwork, it was in effect a new vehicle.As always with long-term ownership and extensive rebuilding, there is no room here to detail the tens of thousands spent, so it’s best to refer to the 4-volume Owner’s File.The car competed in over 20 rallies in the following three years including the Welsh, Scottish and Network ‘Q’ RAC Rally as part of the British Championship with frequent podiums. It was also campaigned in Europe before competing and finishing the Classic Marathon Rally, Paris to Marrakesh covering over 3,000 miles.Fitted with an Aluminium boot lid and hardtop (the only ex-Works units known to exist-3 sets originally made for Rootes works cars), this versatile Tiger was adapted to circuit racing later in the 1990s competing at Silverstone, Lydden Hill, Donnington and Snetterton. Subsequently, the car was occasionally used as a road car before being allowed to rest for a few years whilst our vendor concentrated on his ex-Le Mans factory Tiger.The decision was taken in 2014 to awaken #000653 and the second major rebuild of its life was entrusted to Automotive Solutions in 2015/2017 repairing any minor damage from earlier years but with all body panels remaining as original including the aluminium hardtop and boot lid.For this rebuild, a complete Ford 289 Hi-Po (FIA-spec) engine was sourced. The engine is a genuine 1965 unit, verified by EDA in the history file. The full spec is in the file but includes a Tilton twin-plate competition clutch, Salisbury LSD rear axle, Thruxton-spec 4-pot aluminium calipers with vented discs, Tilton starter, Holley Blue fuel pump, servo, MSD ignition, competition battery, Zero-360 FIA fire extinguisher system and a Safety Devices FIA-spec full roll-cage were fitted. The engine was dyno’d at 397bhp with 70 lbs oil pressure. (further spec below and in the file). The detailed files contain photos of many parts that would allow rebuilding to a full road spec vehicle and are included in the price.Fresh out of the box in 2018, TIG 1950 (as it is now) enjoyed outings at Snetterton, Silverstone, Oulton Park and Spa and the year finished happily with the car being the centrepiece vehicle on the Tiger Owners stand at the Birmingham Classic Car Show.SpecificationMake: SUNBEAMModel: TIGERYear: 1965Chassis Number: B382000653Engine Number: TBADrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: TBAClick here for more details and images

Superbly prepared, this evocative little Lotus is eligible for some of the most prestigious racing events around the globe.Chassis no. #22 J 901 on offer from the Robert "Bob" Koons CollectionExpertly restored by Rick Parent at a cost of some $85,000Eligible for the most exclusive vintage racing events including Monaco, Goodwood and Monterey HistoricsAccompanied by HSR, SVRA and VRG logbooks and a Gold Medallion from SVRALot location: Nurburgring, Germany. Sold in absentia. Available to view in Germany and will need to be collected from therePerfect condition - better than new!While the first rear-engined Lotus single-seater racing design was the epochal Type 18 of 1960, the first to adopt what became the definingly sleek, pretty, and elegant Lotus Formula Junior body shape was the replacement Type 20 of 1961. Featuring the new 115bhp, 1098cc, Cosworth four fed by two twin-choke Webers, a Hewland MkVIII Transaxle, 4-Wheel Independent Suspension and 4-Wheel Hydraulic Disc Brakes, the Type 20 had jam-packed—more or less—the same component parts as the Type 18 into an even smaller, more aerodynamic racing car. The Lotus 20 dominated Formula Junior racing through 1961 with ‘Works’ drivers Trevor Taylor and Peter Arundell shining in particular, winning fifteen times between them. Prior to his sports car and Grand Prix career, private owner/driver Jo Siffert also enjoyed success with seven victories in his Type 20.#22J 901 is believed to have been raced in the UK during the 1960s. Its first known owner in the UK was the well-known racer Alan Baillie and subsequently he sold the car to Bob Hollander in Canada. For many years, it is known to have been ‘vintage’ raced in the US since the 1980s by Mr Robert McClenagan and at that time was maintained then by Mike Gourley at Continental Coachworks.In the mid-2000s, the Lotus joined the renowned collection of the late Robert "Bob" Koons and was subject to a comprehensive restoration in 2009 by noted restorer, Rick Parent. It’s been raced in recent years at prominent events, including SVRA races at Watkins Glen International Raceway, Amelia Island Vintage Grand Prix, and Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the rapid Lotus finished first overall. The car is offered with many records from the restoration, FIA paperwork, as well as HSR, SVRA, and VRG logbooks and a Gold Medallion from SVRA.This splendid Lotus Formula Junior is eligible for some of the most prestigious racing events around the globe, including the Monaco Classic GP, Goodwood Revival, and Monterey Historics and it's been confirmed that the car is acceptable to race in HFJ by Duncan Rabagliati.Looking very much like its 1961 Mk 21 Formula One sister that won the 1961 USA Grand Prix driven by Innes Ireland, this stunning Formula Junior is beautifully prepared as you might expect with an $85,000 restoration in the 2000s, which for a small single-seater, is certainly going some. Silverstone Auctions has been fortunate to sell cars from the Koons Collection in the past and the quality is second to none.Please note the Junior is being sold in absentia and can be viewed at the Nurburgring in Germany.Now that the UK has left the EU, import VAT at 5% will be payable by buyers importing this vehicle from Germany to the UK at the time of import. It is the responsibility of the buyer to settle these charges.

“They’re only original once”; one owner for 47 years, still factory finished/paint, fully recommisoned.105-series Giulia - the original light-weight sports-saloonOne Italian owner for almost 50 years, original paint and interior, never been apart nor weldedHigh-revving double overhead cam dual-carburetted alloy 1300cc engine, all-round disc brakes and a 5-speed gearbox1972 model with attractive metal grille and distinctively shaped boot lidRecent specialists’ report confirming its originality, plus £4,000 expenditure to recommission it for driving excellence; UK-registered and a full MOTA very rare find in this preserved stateBMW is often credited with inventing the modern sports saloon. By stuffing the potent 2-litre engine from its 2000C/CS coupes of the Sixties into a little Neue Klasse two-door, BMW created the iconic 2002. However, as with dentures, thermometers, and the carburettor itself, the origin of this new vehicle class may be better traced to the fertile land of da Vinci and Galileo: Italy.Some might credit the Alfa Romeo 1900 of the Fifties with starting the trend, but we submit that the requisite components didn’t really come together until Alfa’s subsequent release of the Giulia Super, which pre-ated BMW’s bite-size ‘bahn-burner by at least half a decade. And while the Bavarian made do with rear drum brakes, a single overhead-cam, single carburetted engine, two doors and only four forward speeds, the Alfa brought four-wheel discs, a high-revving double overhead-cam, dual-carburetted alloy engine, four doors and a standard five-speed gearbox.“So, it looks like a family saloon, but underneath the skin, it’s really a super touring car” says Santo Spadaro, a marque specialist and incurable ‘Alfisti’. Though the Giulia Super’s body may seem to follow the three-box paradigm, its aerodynamics were honed in a wind tunnel. “It actually has a lower coefficient of drag than the teardrop-shaped Porsche 911 of the same era,” Spadaro notes.The Alfa Romeo Giulia (105 Series) weighed about 1,000 kg and was equipped with a light alloy twin overhead-camshaft, four-cylinder engine, similar to that of the earlier Giulietta models range. Engine capacities offered were 1.3-litre or 1.6-litre. Various configurations of carburettors and tuning produced power outputs from about 80 to about 110bhp. Almost all Giulias made had a 5-speed manual gearbox and were noted for their lively performance among saloons of that era, especially considering the modest engine size. No wonder the Mini Coopers had trouble evading the chasing Giulia police cars in The Italian Job!The styling was quite straightforward, but with a great amount of detail. The engine bay, cabin and boot were all square shaped, but the grill, the rooflines and details on the bonnet and boot made for an integrated design from bumper to bumper.The car presented here is a second series (1972-1978) ‘Super 1.3’ example, being manufactured in 1972, so still features the more attractive metal front grille, characteristic centre spine, and shaped boot lid. In 1972 a rationalisation of the Giulia range saw the Super 1300 (Tipo 115.09) and the Super (Tipo 105.26) re-released as the Super 1.3 and Super 1.6. The two models featured the same equipment, interior and exterior trim, differing only in engine size (1290cc and 1570cc) and final drive ratio. A small Alfa Romeo badge on the C-pillar is a distinguishing feature, as are hubcaps with exposed wheel nuts. In 1974 Alfa dropped the Giulia name, with the model now being coined either a Nuova Super 1.3 or Nuova Super 1.6 which both featured a new black plastic front grille and a flat bonnet without the characteristic centre spine.This particular car has a fascinating story - AR 2275939 was delivered new from Milan to the Italian city of Pesaro in Marche to Senor Olimpio Gunnella on 30th June 1972. Olimpio adored his car, ensuring it was always garaged, literally only using it to go to church on a Sunday, notching up less than 2,000km a year, and taking it to a recorded 88,000km in 2021. The story goes, that on one of these weekly trips, it started to rain, so Olimpio simply turned the car around and drove it home, with church having to wait another week. Some 48 years later, and approaching 75 years of age himself, Olimpio took the decision last year, that it was finally time to part company with his precious car.Stories of such “auto-monogamy” are indeed most rare, not least when they are preserved so carefully in this way, but they are reflected in the immaculate originality of the car, from the underside to the interior, to the boot, and duly supported by a service history that includes 11 service stamps. The car is matching numbers, still in its factory Beige Cava paintwork, and has never required any form of welding.In 2001, the Alfa also received the formal Italian ASI Historical status and Certificate. In September 2020, our vendor managed to persuade Olimpio to sell to him the car, and on arrival in the UK immediately placed it with renowned Surrey based ‘DTR European Classic Car’ specialists, who carried out an independent and rigorous report across every aspect of the car from mechanical, bodywork and interior (copy available). Every issue identified, however minor, was addressed, costing c£4,000, and rounded off with a full service and MOT, again all on file. The car was then fully registered in the UK as ‘JMA 788K’, and nearly 50 years on, is fully prepared to embrace a second relationship.This ‘super’ Super 1.3 is everything an original and unmolested ’70s Alfa should be – full of character, style and lively to drive. Finding cars in this state of originality is still just possible in the quiet corners of Europe but is getting much harder. This really is one for the true ‘Alfisti’ – the passionate fans of these very special cars.SpecificationMake: ALFA ROMEOModel: GIULIA SUPER 1.3 SALOONYear: 1972Chassis Number: AR2275939 Transmission: Manual Engine Number: TBCDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 88000 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: BrownClick here for more details and images

UK-supplied with a manual gearbox, enjoyed by the first owner until 2018 and recently featured on Top Gear.First registered on the 3rd August 1993 as a demonstration car by Neville Johnston ToyotaBought weeks later by the car’s second keeper who owned it until 2018, prior to our vendorBelieved to be one of just 623 UK-supplied cars from a worldwide production of some 47,000The six-speed manual Mk 4 (A80) is recognised as the rarest UK-supplied car, one of just 200Extensive recent invoices are present as well as historical receipts and the service book With an odometer reading of 77,950 (atoc) this car has had over £20,000 of cosmetic and mechanical worksSuch is its condition and rarity it was chosen to headline Top Gear’s televised item on the Mk 4 Supra in 2019.The highly-anticipated, fourth-generation (A80) Supra was finally unveiled at the 1993 Chicago Motor Show after four years in development under the guidance of chief engineer Isao Tsuzuki, who had also worked on the first Celica and both generations of MR2. Unlike anything Toyota had produced before, the A80’s proportions and flowing design owed more to the 2000GT of the Sixties than its predecessor. With a long, low bonnet line and high-rise optional rear spoiler it was aerodynamically efficient and clearly aimed at delivering a much higher top speed. Allied to a simplified engine line-up of either naturally aspirated or twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre JZ-series straight-six offering between 220bhp and 326bhp, top-spec turbo versions with Toyota’s first six-speed gearbox now offered ‘supercar’ performance.With its sumptuous leather interior and blistering performance, the new Supra was aimed squarely at the Porsche driver, some of whom were tempted. The marketing department at Toyota perhaps underestimated the badge snobbery raging among affluent, yet conservative, petrolheads of the mid-1990s and although the Supra had the looks of a supercar, the refinement of a Mercedes-Benz and 0 to 60mph to rival the Ferrari Testarossa TR at under 5 seconds, initial sales were slow. Toyota UK officially imported just 623 cars between 1993-1996 and these were only sold from 25 specially selected dealers. Production continued until 2002 and the Supra was destined to be an important footnote in the sports car hall of fame until it became an icon to a generation thanks to computer driving games ‘Forza’ and ‘Gran Tourismo’ a status only enhanced by its regular, heavily modified, appearances in the Fast and Furious film franchise.Believed to have been one of 200 manual-gearbox cars, out of a total UK-supplied run of 623, this twin-turbo ‘hard-top’ car with its six-speed Getrag gearbox was delivered in Lucerne Silver Metallic (199) with Ivory Leather (F00). First registered to Neville Johnston Toyota in Belfast as a dealership demonstrator on the 3rd August 1993, it was subsequently purchased by a gentleman who used it regularly, with main dealer servicing up until 2002, until it was acquired by our enthusiast vendor in 2018.His fascination with the Toyota Supra began in 1993 when, at the age of fourteen, he wrote to Toyota UK asking for a brochure and two weeks later it was carefully given pride of place on his bedroom wall. When he had the opportunity to buy this car in 2018 he had fulfilled the dream so few people have attained, owning his bedroom poster car, made more special that his poster car was silver, like his newly acquired Supra. The brochure is now mounted and framed in his study.Upon acquisition in September 2018, he undertook an extensive programme of cosmetic and mechanical works to make it the best example possible to join his low mileage Honda NSX and modern Ferrari. The list is too extensive to state here but full details can be supplied together with corresponding invoices. Parts were either obtained via the main dealer or sent directly from OEM suppliers in Japan, no expense being spared to ensure this car remained true to the day it was built.The cosmetic works were carried out by a professional classic car restoration workshop taking several months to complete including a complete clean underneath and Waxoyl undersealing. A full bare metal glass-out respray in original factory colours and using no body filler was completed in 2019. The work provided an opportunity to fit many new parts including a new OEM Windscreen and rear three-quarter windows, lower radiator support, new door trims and seals plus many more. The total cost including all new parts came close to £20,000. It has also recently undergone a full paint correction and detailing with ceramic coating applied. Invoices are available for all of this work.The mechanical works were carried out at Jemca Toyota of Reading by their senior mechanic who has specific knowledge of working on Supras from his many years with Toyota. Particular attention was paid to the engine and auxiliary components. A new clutch and flywheel were installed in 2019 with the all-important timing belt change completed. New brake discs, calipers and pads to complement the virtually all-new suspension have been installed along with a full steering geometry check and, in addition, a recent compression test by Toyota showed excellent readings on all cylinders. Three services have also been completed during our vendor’s ownership all by Toyota, the most recent being in October 2020 with a year’s MOT applied and no advisories along with a full Toyota health check for peace of mind. A new air conditioning condenser has been installed along with a full a/c service and the system is fully functional.Such is the condition of the car, it was chosen to headline a segment in Series 27 of Top Gear and a clip of the item from Episode 5 can be seen below. A new Thatcham Category 1 alarm and tracking device has also been fitted along with four new premium Continental tyres. Presented to auction with an odometer reading of 77,950, at the time of cataloguing, the history file is one of the most detailed we have seen for a modern car and includes the most recent receipts, original owner’s wallet with the service book together with period brochures and two keys.We are of the firm belief that this Supra is among the best examples available today and its rarity is only surpassed by its condition. SpecificationMake: TOYOTAModel: SUPRA 4TH GENYear: 1993Chassis Number: JT164JA800002565Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 2JZ0189786 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 77950 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: CreamClick here for more details and images

Everything that a sports car should be, dynamic, rewarding and stimulating.UK-supplied by Derek Warwick HondaPresented in the classic combination of Formula Red/Black over black hideRecently detailed throughout and ceramic-coated. WowComplete health check by renowned NSX specialist and ex-Honda F1 R&D Engineer, KazJust 32,270 recorded miles at time of inspectionValuable and totally appropriate registration number NSX 6 includedThe legendary Honda NSX (New Sportscar Experimental) was developed by the Honda Motor Corporation between 1984 and its eventual launch in 1990. With the NSX, Honda produced the world’s first everyday-usable supercar, which left the Italian competition for dead in terms of reliability, practicality and build quality. These same qualities make it a joy to drive and own today. Its revolutionary chassis and suspension – all aluminium like the bodywork – making the car very light and extremely strong, were perfected at Suzuka with input from three-times F1 World Champion, Ayrton Senna.The NSX featured a state-of-the-art, 3.0-litre, 24-valve, V6 'VTEC' engine (Variable Valve Timing), and despite being developed during F1's turbo-era, the engine was normally aspirated. Equipped with this new valve timing technology, the free-revving all-alloy unit produced 270bhp initially, which was good enough for a top speed of 168 mph and a 0-60 mph time of less than 6.0 seconds. Those performance figures put the NSX on a par with Ferrari's 348 GTB, but in terms of comfort, ergonomics, driving dynamics, and build quality, the NSX was in a different league entirely. Sadly, this superiority was not translated into sales, and by the time production ceased in 2005 fewer than 20,000 NSXs had been sold – consequently making them relatively rare and much sought-after today.Supplied by Derek Warwick Honda, this 170mph, mid-engined, automatic gearbox, aluminium legend, is believed to have had spells of ownership within the UAE and Ireland returning to the UK just prior to being purchased by our vendor in 2014.Rated as one of the most reliable, docile and cost-effective ‘supercars’ money can buy, this particular example is finished in Formula Red with Black hide and a black roof, as used by Honda to launch the car back in 1990. Upon its purchase, the decision was taken to ensure that every aspect of the car was as it should be, so it was immediately booked in for a complete health check by renowned NSX specialist and ex-Honda F1 R&D Engineer ‘Kaz’, however, such is the demand for his services that twelve months passed before its turn came around. Pronounced fit for purpose with any minor areas of concern attended to, the Honda has been used sparingly since and cherished to this day, remaining with an impressively low recorded mileage of just 32,270 at the time of inspection.Recently detailed throughout and ceramic-coated, this gleaming NSX presents superbly in every respect and will not disappoint. It’s accompanied by a large history file containing the original handbooks, invoices, MOT Certificates and various magazine articles, and the very valuable Cherished Registration Number, NSX 6, will remain with the car.A usable supercar that can be enjoyed for a local jaunt to the shops or pressed into service for that road trip into Europe, turning heads as it goes, this great NSX represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the defining performance cars of the 1990s at a very attractive estimate.  SpecificationMake: HONDAModel: NSXYear: 1991Chassis Number: JHMNA12600T001029Transmission: AutoEngine Number: C30A41000148Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 32200 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

A stunning, low mileage example of the rare R8 Plus Quattro V10 S-A.Powered by a naturally aspirated 610bhp, 5.2-litre V10 that revs to a howling 8700rpmGenuine Supercar performance with 0-62mph in 3.1seconds and 205mphFinished in Ara Blue Crystal Effect with black quilted leather and blue stitchingIt has only covered 8,500 miles, just 2,300 in the last two yearsVery high spec car with £15,000 of optional extras from new (£148,000)This is essentially a Lamborghini Huracan in a German business suitThe second generation of the R8, having the model code Type 4S, was unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show and is based on the Modular Sports System platform shared with the Lamborghini Huracan. The development of the Type 4S commenced in late 2013 and was and was completed in late-2014 with initial models including the all-electric e-Tron and the V10 5.2 FSI along with the V10 plus.Unlike its predecessor, there was no manual transmission available and the entry-level V8 trim was also dropped. The new R8 came with an updated new look on the outside and radical changes to the interior including the new interactive cockpit dashboard that tailors everything to driver involvement. The body is lighter and stiffer, due to the substitution of several large aluminium parts in the shell by carbon fibre. Extra electronics are incorporated in the chassis as compared to the first generation to improve handling and the R8 Plus is fitted with the 5.2-litre V10 that produces 610bhp, a 60bhp increase over the first generation plus offering 0-60 in just 3.2 seconds, all controlled by Audi's famous Quattro drive system.On offer today is a stunning example of the R8 Plus Quattro V10 first registered on the 1st of July 2016, finished in Ara Blue Crystal Effect with a beautiful black quilted leather interior and the seats stitched in Blue to complement the exterior. The car was highly specified from new and came with the following options,Driver assistance packCruise controlReversing cameraSound and Comfort packIlluminated door sill trimsBang and Olufsen sound systemFull leather packageSport plus packFull sports exhaustAudi Magnetic rideDynamic steering and 20” 10-spoke ‘Y’ alloy wheelsIt’s accompanied by its original Audi Book Pack and has been maintained by Audi Halesowen since new. Our vendor has covered a mere 2,300 miles in the last two years which is the main reason for the sale of this very special Audi and being retired, he feels the time is right to downsize! The car drives as you might expect given that it’s only four years old, has covered a tiny mileage and has been fastidiously maintained, however, on the way down to the auction house, an oil service requirement within the next 25 days was flagged up (time period requirement not mileage) so this will need doing. There is a quotation sent from Audi Halesowen in the book pack for £400.00 to undertake this requirement and this will be allowed for at the point of sale.The R8 Plus V10 is one of the most usable well-rounded supercars in the world today and it’s also one of the most engaging. The naturally-aspirated 5.2-litre V10 revs to 8700, by which point it’s howling like a Grand Prix engine of past times, handling is sublime, the state-of-the-art electronics keep everybody safe and Audi’s build quality is legendary. This lovely Ara Blue example has covered less than 9,000 miles and having cost over £148,000 new just over four years ago appears very sensibly guided. It definitely warrants consideration.SpecificationMake: AUDIModel: R8Year: 2016Chassis Number: WUAZZZFX0G7901069Transmission: AutoEngine Number: CSPA002448Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 8500 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

A highly collectable and coveted, high-performance, 60s sports saloon.Just three owners from the date of its first registration in 1966Purchased in 2013 from Tom Carter, the second owner and more importantly Founder and President of The Lotus Car Club of North AmericaInstantly recognisable in Ermine White with a Sherwood Green flashBasically remarkably sound but treated to some fresh paint anywayTwin-Cam stripped, crack-tested, lightened and balanced, fitted with Ultimate-Road Piper cams, an unleaded head and rebuilt by GA Classic EnginesOriginal classic black vinyl Airflow interior in superb order throughoutA superb three owner example of the legendary Lotus Cortina Mk1 finished in the instantly recognisable Ermine White with a Sherwood Green side-flash and black interior trim.This original, left-hand drive, example was first purchased by Dick Hultberg of Delaware, USA who bought the car directly from Colin Chapman at the Lotus factory in Cheshunt and it was to remain in his ownership until 1970 when it was purchased by Tom Carter, the founder and President of The Lotus Car Club of North America. In 2013, our vendor was looking for a solid Mk1 that he could convert into a reliable FIA race car to campaign around Europe, and the deal was done with the Cortina returning to the UK that year.Upon its arrival, the race car plans were put on hold as the condition of the Lotus was simply far too good and stripping and rebuilding was no longer a sensible option, given the increasing desirability of unmolested original road cars. With the bodywork in excellent order, all that was required was a fresh coat of Ermine White to eradicate some micro blistering, however, the underside of the bonnet and boot were left well alone to show just how good the shell was. It was noted at this stage, that whilst in the hands of Tom Carter, a big-valve Elan power unit had found its way into the engine bay, so a period-correct Lotus Cortina engine, that just happened to be on the shelf, was pressed into action. It was stripped, crack-tested, lightened and balanced before being fitted with ‘Ultimate-Road’ Piper cams, an unleaded head and finally rebuilt by GA Classic Engines. It goes without saying that all new ancillaries completed the picture.Now ready to be enjoyed once again by a new custodian, this superbly presented Lotus Cortina will be a credit to any collector or enthusiast and with values of these iconic Sixties saloons, continuing to strengthen, year on year, this is an opportunity that has to be worthy of your serious consideration.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: LOTUS CORTINAYear: 1966Chassis Number: BA74FT59363Transmission: ManualEngine Number: LP2714LMADrive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Pleasingly a wealth of trophies accompany the carWith our vendor since 2012. Detailed history file with many receipts and old MOTsNow in its seventh generation, the Corvette began life in 1953 with the C1, a model that inspired a generation of young Americans and gave the Ford Empire a nine-year headache. However it was the C2 the immortal Sting Ray product produced between 1963 and 1967, that really set Chevrolets cash registers ringing and left us with the most desirable and collectable Corvette to date. Designed by Larry Shinoda and under the guidance of the legendary Bill Mitchell, influences on the Sting Ray’s unique and unforgettable form are said to include the E Type, a Mako Shark once caught by Mitchell, the Q Corvette concept car of 1957 and the Mitchell Sting Ray design exercise. By the Autumn of 1959, elements of the two unique Corvettes had been built into XP-720, the design programme that led to the production of the Sting Ray (later changed to Stingray) as we know it.1965 UR, originally registered here as JGU 31C arrived in the UK in 1988 from Newburgh in Indiana, shown by the original US Title documentation in the history file, and being a 1965 model was fitted with the newly available, four-wheel disc brakes and power steering. Finished in Goldwood Yellow with Black leather interior, this colour was only available for one year only making this car even more desirable and collectable. This delectable Sting Ray has won many Club and Concours awards in the States and over here in the UK and a large number of these trophies will remain with the car. It’s been featured many times in magazines including a 7-page spread in Classic and Sports Car, June 2014.Supplied with a comprehensive history file showing the care and expense lavished on this special motor car, and includes 20 old MOT Certificates, the current MOT valid until November 2021 with No Advisories, many old Tax Discs and a plethora of invoices from both suppliers and garages. A recent addition to the car was a complete set of five brand new wheels at huge expense and indicative of our fastidious vendor’s attention to detail. A lovely feature is the original, fully working dashboard radio fitted from new which we are told rarely work in these cars and to replace, if you can find one, are around £1,500.This is a simply delightful example of a C2 Sting Ray in a rare and attractive colour. It may not be everyone’s choice of Sixties Classic and it definitely wouldn’t suit a ‘shrinking violet’ but it’s an iconic and powerful sports car that does everything that Italian exotics do, but at a third of the price. Things don’t fall off, you won’t need a trickle charger, a cambelt change every three days or a bloke with a BSc. to change the plugs and, when we are finally allowed out again, you can ‘woofle’ down the High Street on a sunny afternoon and people will look at you and think California and Fonzie and ‘Happy Days', and they’ll feel better.SpecificationMake: CHEVROLETModel: CORVETTE C2Year: 1965Chassis Number: 194375S113341Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 5113341Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 47700 MilesMake: Only LHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

However it was the C2, the immortal Sting Ray produced between 1963 and 1967, that really set Chevrolet's cash registers ringing and left us with the most desired and collectable Corvette to date. Designed by Larry Shinoda under the guidance of the legendary Bill Mitchell, influences on the Sting Ray's unique and unforgettable form are said to include: the E-type Jaguar, a Mako shark once caught by Mitchell, the 'Q Corvette' concept car of 1957 and the 'Mitchell Sting Ray' design exercise. By the autumn of 1959 elements of the two unique Corvettes had been built into XP-720, the design programme that led to the production of the Sting Ray (later Stingray) as we know it.There were a number of drive train options available including four ‘small block’ V8 engines, three transmissions, and six axle ratios and the new Corvette was available as a fastback coupe as well as the traditional convertible. Detailed changes were made through the years, with the first of the ‘big block’ engine options arriving in 1965, the same year four-wheel disc brakes became standard.The fabulous Corvette C2 Sting Ray Coupe presented here is a matching-numbers, example manufactured at the A.O. Smith plant in Ionia, Michigan on the 5th January 1965 and fitted with a ‘small-block’ V8 built at the Flint engine plant on the 28th December 1964. The file has a copy of the original sales invoice for US $4,900.88 from Schwyn Brothers Chevrolet of Michigan to a Mr Frank Tennant on January 22nd 1965.Originally finished in Nassau Blue, the same livery it sports today, it’s fitted with dual side exhausts, an exceptionally rare option present on just 759 Sting Rays from this model year, and sits on a set of immaculate centre knock-off wheels wearing lightly worn BF Goodrich Silvertown “Goldlines”. Under the bonnet, lurks a 327ci. (5.4-litre) ‘Turbo-Fire’ V8 producing 300bhp mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. The engine bay presents well with a red-painted block, chrome rocker covers and a chrome air filter dish. The Corvette’s interior is well presented in body colour with blue vinyl, matching carpets, lots of chrome bezels and an attractive Teak steering wheel surrounding the traditional cross flags on the boss. We understand that the car was imported into the UK in 2015 in a fully restored condition, however, the previous owner, a member of the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS), spent a further £13,000 on the chassis in 2016 and he now describes the body, chassis, and suspension restoration work as being close to ‘show quality'. The car is UK registered and is complete with its V5C and reprinted original ‘dispatch data’ from the US. It’s on the Corvette Register and has been a regular and popular attendee at numerous club events and indeed won 1st Prize at the Classic American Car Show Tatton Park July 2016 – “Best Classic Corvette”.The below bullet points show the love and attention the car has received by its two UK owners since it arrived here27th April 2016.

The ultimate Mustang of its day; with the same US family for 39 years; 2017 MOCGB Champion & Classic American Concours winner.A desirable S-Code car with its original engine transmission and rear axle and matching Marti ReportOriginal GT Equipment Group car, with the four-speed Top loader transmission and Equa-Lock differentialFactory-fitted with the powerful 390ci (6.4-litre) FE V8 engine, making it the ultimate Mustang of its day, yet more subtle than the cars it inspiredThe factory-built S-Code cars formed the basis of the more flamboyant 1967 Shelby GT 350 and GT 500 modelsFascinating history, owned by the same US family until 1986Very original with the benefit of a top-quality restorationThe 2017 MOCGB Champion and the Classic American Concours ChampionFrom the day it hit the streets in April 1964, the first iteration of Ford's Mustang has proven to be a success beyond measure. Even if you do not particularly count yourself as a Mustang fan, the appeal of the inaugural ‘Pony Car’ is readily apparent. Good looks, three body styles and price points that spanned a wide spectrum were just some of the reasons for their popularity and the 1965-'66 Mustangs were the precursor of even greater things to come.Stiff competition loomed for 1967 in the form of the Camaro, Firebird, Cougar, and a redesigned Barracuda, so perhaps it made sense for the Mustang's first major update to coincide with the other manufacturers' significant debuts. Regardless, the stakes were sky-high for Ford's design and engineering teams, who were hard at work on the redesign even as the original 1965 models debuted. From the outside, the 1967 Mustang shared many of the proportions with the previous model, whilst the overall look was much more aggressive, with a deeper and larger grille, a forward-jutting hood, sharply creased side body lines and a distinctive concave tail lamp panel.Beyond its appearance, the addition of the big-block 390 "Thunderbird Special" engine to an otherwise unchanged engine line-up proved a game-changer. Previous Mustangs weren't designed to house anything bigger than a 289ci but the 1967 redesign widened things up under the bonnet making room for the venerable ‘FE’ engine family, the 390 in Mustang and the 428 in the GT 500, in turn moving the Mustang into the realm of legitimate muscle cars. A second distinct change was the wider array of optional equipment that could turn a bare-bones Mustang into a veritable personal luxury car and the litany of options, both inside and out, offered the possibility of personalising your car almost to the point where no two looked alike.This 1967 Ford Mustang 390 GT encompasses many of the best features on the new Mustang’s options list including that racy fastback body, the GT option, 320bhp 390ci V8, 4-speed top-loader transmission and Equa-Lock differential and the striking colour combination of Candy Apple Red and a Red Deluxe interior.According to the Marti Report, it was built at the Dearborn Plant on the 9th of January 1967, fitted with the 390 FE engine and destined for stock at Joe Dye Motors in North Platte, Nebraska. Ford’s Mustang ‘stocking plan’ dictated that certain numbers of body shapes / engine size / transmission combinations had to be available at all times and this frequently meant that some cars, particularly the top-end models, may not sell for a month or two despite the huge demand for the model as a whole.The car is an original GT Equipment Group car, with the 4-speed top-loader transmission and Equa-Lock differential. Basically, a factory-built sports car with no options other than power steering – a factory-built ‘sleeper car’ you might say. These S-Code cars would go on to be the base car for the 1967 model-year Shelby GT 350 and GT 500.The car sat on the ‘lot’ for a few months until its first owner was given $2,000 from his college fund by his father to go and purchase a car for college. Dad assumed that the son would return with a nice 1950’s Chevy and a substantial amount of change, however, $2,000 in his pocket and the gleaming Candy Apple Red Mustang outside Joe Dye Motors was to prove a tad too much temptation and the 390 had its first owner. The son brought the car home to show his father, and poor old dad had only two options, insist he took it back or work out a way to pay for it but, inevitably the Mustang joined the family and ‘Junior’ took a job selling Pizza to help pay for it.The car stayed with the family in daily use until 1986 when it was reduced to occasional trips. It was then put into storage for ten years until 1996 when the son began a ten-year-long piece-by-piece restoration. Every original part was either reconditioned or replaced with a Ford NOS part with the exception of the passenger- side wing which was the only replacement body panel. In 2006, the restoration was near completion, but the decision was made to sell the car to fund a property purchase. The Mustang was purchased by a UK collector and was only driven a couple of times over here with the intention to complete the restoration, but then sat for a further 10 years in his collection.Our vendor then found the car for sale through the Mustang Owners Club GB and brought it for his wife, subsequently completing the restoration to the standard that you see today. The quality of the workmanship and detail was such that it was crowned the 2017 MOCGB Champion and, in the same year, the ‘Classic American Concours Champion’, a coveted prize presented at the NEC. Since that point, the car has been driven regularly through the Spring and Summer months and kept in a heated garage.This stunning S-Code, Mustang GT has been checked over by specialists ‘Mustang Maniacs’ of Hertfordshire and fully serviced ready for sale. It’s accompanied by the history file containing the Marti Report and remains in simply remarkable condition. If you are in the market for one of the best Mustangs currently available, look no further, you will not be disappointed.  SpecificationMake: FORDModel: MUSTANG FASTBACK 390 GTYear: 1967Chassis Number: 7F02S141611Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 141611 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: RedClick here for more details and images

One of just 101 V8 Coupes produced, classically presented in Pentland Green with Parchment leather piped in green.Superbly finished in Pentland Green with Parchment leather piped in greenA rare member of the Aston V8 family in a classic colour combination Owned by our Aston enthusiast vendor since 2016 and only selling due to emigrationThe odometer reading is some 45,600 miles (atoc) and a fresh MOT is planned Serviced in 2019 by marque specialist, Christian Lewis, with invoices totalling £6,630 Fitted with an automatic gearbox, it's presented to auction with a history file and V5cLaunched at the International Motor Show in Birmingham during October 1988, the sensational newcomer re-stated its Aston Martin V8 forerunner's brawny looks in the modern idiom, contriving to be slightly narrower yet providing increased interior space. The car was still no lightweight, but with 330bhp on tap courtesy of the trusty V8 engine's new 32-valve top end, was good enough for a top speed approaching 160mph and a 0-60mph time of under seven seconds.After spearheading the Aston Martin V8's transformation for the 1990s, the Virage name was dropped during 1994, its place as the 'standard' model being taken by a Vantage-style V8 Coupe. Introduced at the Geneva Salon in March 1996, the new V8 Coupe adopted all of the Vantage's muscular styling cues but retained the normally aspirated, 5.3-litre engine of the Virage and delivered similar performance. The model formed part of the Aston Martin range for just three years and is one of the rarer members of the modern V8 family.Finished in Pentland Green with a green-piped, Parchment leather interior, this automatic transmission V8 Coupe was sold new to a Mr Cooney of North Yorkshire in July 1997 and he owned it until 2003. Whilst in Mr Cooney's ownership, '79041' made regular visits to the 'Works' at Newport Pagnell, including one for a repair to the nose under warranty. The car also had a 'sports exhaust' fitted and a Vantage boot conversion amongst other works.In October 2003, the Aston was transferred to a Mr Kohler of Hertfordshire. Aston Martin Works records contain multiple invoices for work and services up to 2007 and the car benefited from the attentions of Aston Engineering, Derby in October 2015. Marque specialist, Christian Lewis, carried out a service this year and the car was fitted with new shock absorbers. The service book records a change of speedometer by Aston Martin Works in February 2000 at 10,670 miles, a used instrument registering 2,086 miles being fitted at that time; hence the mileage is 8,584 more than the current reading of 45,240, totalling circa 54,000. The service book is signed by the engineer on that date for verification. Further owners enjoyed the car until our vendor bought it in 2016, the car joining his Aston collection consisting of coupes from the 1960s to the 2000s. With a permanent move to Spain planned for the end of the year, this car is therefore very competitively guided. SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: V8Year: 1997Chassis Number: SCFDAM2S6VBR79041Transmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 95/7904/ADrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 45555 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Green-piped Parchment leatherClick here for more details and images

A rare low production model and in a very desirable specification.Regarded as one of the last 'real' Bentleys, the flagship Bentley Continental R Mulliner was introduced in 1999 and manufactured until 2003 by Bentley Motors in CreweTurbo-charged 6.75-litre V8 offers 420bhp and a staggering 650 Lbs/ft of torque. 0-60mph in 5.6 seconds and a top speed of over 170 mphOne of just 131 examples produced and historically significant as one of the last hand-built Bentleys produced before the company's acquisition by VolkswagenPresented in the stylish combination of Metallic Blue paintwork with a cream leather interiorJust 43,809 miles covered; full service history, with 12 Bentley service stamps in original service booklet; major service at 41,259 miles costing £5,200 with a new head gasketOn offer from a privateer vendor and kept in a temperature-controlled garage and rarely used but started on a regular basisAll relevant service history, paperwork, owner’s manuals, and bills accompany the carIntroduced in 1991, the Continental ‘R’ was the first Bentley in 26 years to not share a body style with a concurrent Rolls-Royce and was inspired by the highly collectible Continental R-Type of the 1950s. The elegant two-door coachwork was styled by John Heffernan and Ken Greenley, a duo whose résumé included sports cars like the Aston Martin Virage. Five years later Bentley introduced a short-wheelbase version dubbed the Continental ‘T’ that was equipped with an uprated engine developing 420 hp and an impressive 650 foot-pounds of torque available at only 2,200 rpm.Bentley customers soon expressed interest in equipping the “wide-body” Continental R model with the T’s more powerful engine, and the Continental R Mulliner was consequently introduced at the 1999 Geneva Salon. The nomenclature was an homage to H.J. Mulliner, the British coachbuilder responsible for the original R-Type’s breath-taking fastback bodywork. The R Mulliner’s wide-body configuration offered spacious interior elegance, whilst the twin-turbocharged V8 could rocket the car to a top speed of nearly 170 mph, with brisk 5.6-second sprints to 60 mph from standstill. Individually tailored to customer order, the R Mulliner was Bentley’s ultimate 20th-century combination of luxury and performance, produced in a modest quantity of as few as 131 examples. Without question one of the finest Bentleys ever made, the Continental R is also historically significant as one of the last hand-built Bentleys produced before the company's acquisition by Volkswagen.The car presented here is a 2001 Bentley Continental ‘R’ Wide-bodied Mulliner Coupé (SCBZB25EX1CH63540) that has covered just 43,765 miles over the last 20 years in the hands of four previous owners, the current one since 2016.Our knowledgeable vendor knows the areas of potential concern with these special cars and consequently he had the sills/underside inspected as they were showing some minor scabbing. As a result, he had these professionally removed and replaced two years ago and, similarly, with head gaskets having been known to occasionally fail, during a routine service at Bentley Manchester, they fitted a new head gasket (£5,200) solely for peace of mind.The dealer's list price for these cars was a, not unsubstantial, £225,000 when new, with the entire production run (1992-2003) amounting to just 131 examples in 'wide-body' configuration. In exceptional condition throughout, having been maintained and stored regardless of cost, and in a delightful colour combination, this elegant Bentley is accompanied by a total and comprehensive service history including detailed invoices and numerous MOT Certificates.Our vendor is a long-term Bentley enthusiast and although the car is regularly used, it remains beautifully presented. This is an opportunity to acquire one of the very best Bentley 'Wide-body' examples on the road today.13/12/01 4,452 miles Ron Stratton & Co Ltd.

One of the best driving E-Types we have ever offered.UK-supplied in right-hand drive and just two owners from newMatching numbers engine and gearboxDrives absolutely superblyOriginal colour combination of Old English White and red leatherNicely patinated since restoration finished in 2011Perfect to celebrate the E-Type’s 60th AnniversaryOf the Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3 cars produced between 1961 and 1974 ~ it is the Series 2 that Jaguar enthusiasts consistently declare the best to drive. Is it the silky-engined, six-cylinder 4.2, the all-synchro gearbox with perfect ratios, or just the overall more balanced look? Who knows, but today the Series 2 has consistently won the crown of the best driving E-Type ever produced by the Midland’s famous Browns Lane factory.This car was supplied new in 1970 by locally-based All Saints Garage in Bromsgrove to a Mr Anthony Armour of Sevenoaks in Kent in 1972, who enjoyed the car so much that he kept it right up until October 2015 when it was purchased by our private regular vendor. Remarkably, the original invoice dated January 1972 for £1,975 remains in the history file today.Still fitted today with its original engine and gearbox, and finished in its original colour combination of Old English White with red leather upholstery and a black hood, it drives today absolutely sensationally. The ride/handling balance seems just perfect and the silky-smooth, 4.2-litre straight-six just purrs along beautifully, as it would have done when new.Just two owners have had the pleasure of enjoying this car and our vendor (who owns several E-Types) can not speak highly enough of this car and the way it drives. It certainly presents very well in the metal and the history file shows a photographic record of just one restoration which took place between 1978 and 2011. At the time the car was taken off the road in 1978, it had covered some 92,380 miles and the pictures show the standard of the restoration, which was absolutely comprehensive with everything replaced or rebuilt where possible, with the focus on maintaining originality wherever possible. The car finally returned to the road again in 2011 and has covered very few miles since. Further bills and receipts in the file show regular and thorough maintenance and very little usage over the last decade or so. It has clearly been indoor stored in a heated garage and regularly started and used for short but enjoyable trips by our vendor.Viewing and driving is very strongly encouraged when lock-down allows. This is perhaps the very best way to celebrate the 60th Anniversary this year of the iconic ultimate British sports car.

A rare and original Series 1 4.2 E-Type Roadster.Rare UK, right-hand drive, 4.2 Series 1 RoadsterOnly five owners from new with continuous historyVery original and honestBelieved to be the original colours, engine and gearboxCelebrity provenance, low mileageOnce the property of famous TV and film actor - and British National Treasure - the Honourable Nigel Havers, this rare and highly original Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Roadster 4.2 was first supplied to the UK market as a right hand drive car on 18-3-1965. Since then it has only had four subsequent owners, all of whom have kept the car for an extended period of time.Always red with black leather it is perhaps the ultimate symbol of British sports cars in the 1960s and today displays all the signs of a very original and honest car. It has certainly been seriously enjoyed throughout its life, as both the widow of the current deceased owner, and Nigel himself, recently confirmed to us. Over the years many happy and treasured memories of trips away both in the UK and Europe were recalled during current ownership, which commenced back in September 2004.The car has received enthusiastic owner maintenance over their tenure with the history file showing regular annual MOTs and parts acquired all in the car’s history file. In fact, MOTs found in the file, the oldest of which dates back to 1975, suggest that the indicated mileage of 30,374 may indeed be correct, although the lack of every single certificate means that we cannot warrant that.The file also shows a picture book of an earlier restoration, as well as many bills for regular maintenance and parts acquired throughout its life. Passing an MOT in late Jan 2021 with a few advisories, the car is now ready and ripe for a full restoration. It could be enjoyed as is and maintained and improved over time, or it could form the basis of a very worthwhile restoration with the potential to become a Concours contender when finished, as all the right ingredients for a pedigree E-Type are there.Original UK, Series 1 UK Roadsters, particularly with the highly favoured 4.2-litre straight-six, are hard to find today. As this year is the 60th Anniversary of this amazing British icon, we are proud to offer such an original and unmolested example with a great back story and known provenance.

A driver-focused XK120, fresh from a two-year restoration, with some choice upgrades.The XK120 Roadster - as elegant as XK Jaguars can ever beA landmark Jaguar sports car and the world’s fastest production car in its daySourced specifically from the US by Jaguar specialists for restoration/enhancementTwo-year nut and bolt rebuild, now in RHD with added driving enhancements (including power-steering, disc brakes, uprated suspension)Beautiful colour combination of California Sage paintwork with a Biscuit interiorRecently finished, shaken down and ready to enjoyA car-starved Britain, still trundling around in perpendicular pre-war hangover vehicles, glimpsed the future in October 1948 with the launch of the Jaguar XK120 at the Earls Court Motor Show. Production commenced in 1949 in Coventry, and the XK's swoopy shape and stylish occupants would become a common sight on British roads over the next 15 years. It heralded the arrival of Jaguar's famous 3.4-litre twin overhead camshaft XK engine, (the basis of all their engines for the next 25 years) with an alloy cylinder head and twin side-draught SU carburettors producing nearly 160bhp. The “120” referred to the car's top speed which, at the time, made it the fastest production car in the world. Jaguar seems to have always had a flair for marketing and to illustrate that the car's top speed was not a figment of a publicist's imagination, in May 1949, on the Jabbeke to Aeltre autoroute, an XK120 with its hood and side screens in place recorded a speed of 126mph, and no less than 132mph with the hood and windscreen detached and an undertray fitted. The car was in almost instant demand and when on to spawn the famous XK lineage of fast and elegant sports cars.The car offered here is a 1952 Jaguar XK120 OTS (or Roadster) which has been meticulously restored from the ground up over the last two years by long-established Jaguar and Bentley specialists ‘DJB Engineering’ of Northamptonshire. The father and son team that run the company imported this car from the US specifically for this project. The car’s Heritage Certificate tells us that this particular XK120 OTS was manufactured on the 20th of May 1952 and was (unsurprisingly) LHD originally, fitted with a manual gearbox and painted Suede Green with matching interior and a French Grey hood. It was sold through Jaguar distributors, a Hornburg of Los Angeles, to its first owner, the pleasingly named, Mr K McCorkle.Converted to right-hand drive and with fully renewed bodywork, adopting a fast-road/racer aesthetic, the car now looks simply resplendent in Aston Martin California Sage, by craftsman Steve Chandler, with a Biscuit interior by Workshop 77 of Weedon Bec. Knowing the potential of these early XKs as proper driving machines, DJB Engineering also ensured this car has had some sympathetic upgrades beneath the skin. Fitted with a full stainless-steel exhaust, a 5-speed gearbox, adjustable shock-absorbers, hydraulic power-steering, polyurethane suspension bushes, hard passivated suspension components, an external oil cooler, larger volume radiator with an electric fan, and full servo-assisted disc brakes with Coopercraft billet calipers, this car is now extremely capable. Added to this, the lustful 3.4-litre XK engine has been fully rebuilt and dressed, with an overhauled cylinder head fitted with a new composite head gasket and new timing chains installed.During the restoration, simply no corners were cut, and the car features virtually every available improvement to make it most exciting to campaign. Photographic records show every stage of the process, literally from the prepared chassis and up. The car has been ‘shaken-down’ with road trails and performs as well as it presents. Father and son were sorely tempted to hang on to their recently finished car, such is its appeal and ability, however, a new project awaits.The XK120 OTS was hugely influential in period and has an elegance of line that would be completely at home on the manicured lawns of Pebble Beach, however, there is no denying that, in standard form, the 1940’s mechanicals are a touch ‘agricultural’. This superb example, on the other hand, with its intelligent upgrades drives, brakes and handles like a ‘modern classic’ offering, we believe, the best of both worlds. SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XK120 OTSYear: 1952Chassis Number: 672237Transmission: ManualEngine Number: W5009-8Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Biscuit Click here for more details and images

Classic British thoroughbred motoring at its very best.Stunningly presented in Signal Red with a Black leather interiorThe subject of a photo-documented, full restoration some 14 years agoLots of intelligent, driver-focussed upgrades; overdrive, unleaded head, fully Poly-bushed’, Konis, electronic ignition, uprated alternator etc72-spoke chrome wires, new wool carpets, a Moto-Lita wheel and a new Mohair hood.Supplied with a comprehensive history file including old MOTs and reams of invoicesWhen Michelotti’s sharp-suited new TR4 was unveiled at the London motor show in 1961, the car looked thoroughly modern, especially when compared with the old-fashioned TR3A that it replaced. However, the reality was that, under the skin, the car was still very much a TR3A as little more than the outer skin was actually new. Despite this, the TR4, and the TR4A that succeeded it were among the fastest affordable sports cars on offer throughout the 1960s. Cheap to buy and run, the cars’ road manners, however, left a little room for improvement over the TR3A, despite the TR4 having gained rack and pinion steering, wider front and rear tracks to make it more surefooted, and an all-synchro gearbox. However, as stylish transport, they were pretty much unbeatable. All it cried out for, to compete with the new wave of saloon GTs was more power. Lots. The stock 2-litre GT6 engine was tried and, although smooth, was actually no quicker than the old tractor-derived four-pot. The answer was simple though – enlarge the straight-six by a massive 500cc to give a lusty 2.5-litre and make it breathe easier. With a better cylinder head and wilder camshaft, the engine worked well, although it was a bit lumpy at low revs until fuel injection was fitted to better monitor fuel delivery. All this led, in October 1967, to the launch of the TR5. Outwardly the car was barely discernible from the TR4A, but the new engine, complete with Lucas fuel injection, turned the TR into a genuine performance car, with a handy 150bhp on tap.In truth, the TR5 was little more than a test bed for the new engine (which quickly found its way into the 2000 saloon). Realistically the car was effectively a stop-gap and only had to last around 18 months until Karmann had finished its work on the replacement, the TR6, however, with the benefit of hindsight, the TR5 is arguably the best of the lot, enjoying the clean unsullied looks of the TR4 but with the raunchiness of the TR6.PHY 99G is the particular TR5 on offer today and has been with our vendor since April 2015. The history file details three previous keepers with the first revealed to be a Mr John Warburton of Horncastle and the file also contains a lovely buff logbook in excellent condition showing the car lived in Jersey around 1972. Finished in sparkling Signal Red with a new Black leather interior piped in White, the pretty Triumph presents extremely well and is one of the best we have seen.The history file shows details of a major body-off restoration back in 2007 by Kustom 101 of Tewkesbury with photos showing the naked chassis fully stripped and prepared to accept the freshly restored bodyshell. This work was carried out some 14 years ago, however, the Triumph has stood the test of time well as you can see from the images.In addition to having show-quality looks, PHY has benefited from a number of intelligent, driver-focussed upgrades including overdrive, an unleaded-head conversion, fluted and drilled disc brakes, fully ‘Poly-bushed’ suspension, Koni shock-absorbers, electronic ignition, uprated alternator and uprated headlights. It’s gorgeous looks have been enhanced by 72-spoke chrome wire wheels, new wool carpets, a Moto-Lita steering wheel and a new vinyl dashtop. The hood frame has recently been stripped, powder coated and then dressed in a brand new Mohair hood. The straight-six soundtrack is given free-rein by the addition of a full sports stainless exhaust just adding to that perfect driving experience.With Summer just around the corner and the likelihood of us being let loose in our cars this year, the timing could not have been better to invest in this beautiful Coventry-built TR5. SpecificationMake: TRIUMPHModel: TR5Year: 1968Chassis Number: CP2338Transmission: ManualEngine Number: CP2401EDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Chassis-up professional restoration just completed to the very highest of standardsReturned from the US around 10 years ago with a total rebuild in mindTotal, professional, nut and bolt, chassis up restoration to the very highest of standards. Only 24 miles covered sinceFinished in Autumn Red with a beige hide interior and matching hood, tonneau and side screensSuperb attention to detail throughout. Possibly one of the best on the road todayNow ready for that trip to the pub that we are all longing for or even a spell in the concours arenaAlthough, instantly recognisable as a T-Series Midget thanks to its perpendicular radiator shell, flowing wings and rear-mounted spare wheel, the TD broke important new ground for the Abingdon marque. Although based on the existing Y-Type chassis, it was the first MG sports car to feature independent double-wishbone front suspension and rack and pinion steering and the new model also boasted a hypoid-bevel back axle, a scuttle reinforcement hoop and twin leading-shoe front brakes.With a track of 50 inches, it was around five inches wider than its predecessor, the TC, which always a little ‘cosy’. Powered by the proven 1250cc XPAG engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg. Riding on fifteen-inch steel “easy-clean” wheels as standard, the TD also sported a mirror-image dashboard (thus facilitating either LHD or RHD production) and chrome-plated bumpers. In July 1951 the 1250cc XPAG engine received a new block, a new sump, a new bell-housing and a new flywheel in order to accommodate a larger clutch. The engine number prefix was changed to TD2, and MG TDs fitted with this engine have subsequently become known as TD2 models, A great success story, the vast majority of the 29,665 cars produced were sold overseas mainly to the States.The simply delectable TD2 on offer here was one of those US-bound cars and was imported from there by its present owner approx around 10 years ago, with a total rebuild in mind. The little MG was basically sound but a little tired and was ripe for restoration, however, other projects got in the way and it was a further six years before the restoration commenced. All’s well that ends well, as the TD has recently been completed after a total, professional nut and bolt, chassis up restoration to the very highest of standards and presents as possibly one of the very best on the road today.Finished in the rare factory colour of Autumn Red, the standard of finish is exceptional even down to the door shuts and nooks and crannies. The interior is also a delight in Beige leather with Beige Rexine on the dashboard, white-faced Jaeger instruments, Bakelite switches and a four-spoke Bluemels sprung wheel. The only minor difference from standard being the body-coloured grille slats which should match the interior trim colour but in reality, appear as if designed that way. Nothing remains untouched, with engine, gearbox and final drive being rebuilt, a full rewire and total re-chrome alongside a new hood, tonneau cover and side screens. The attention to detail is textbook and even the underside is of show quality. Whilst the MG remains left-hand drive, all mounts and fixing points remain in place to allow for easy conversion to right-hand drive should the next custodian wish to follow that path. With only minor shake-down runs undertaken so far, a period of running-in is highly recommended to extract the best from this stunning TD.Not to be confused with the average, this particular TD will be equally at home either out on the open road or in the Concours arena.SpecificationMake: MGModel: TDYear: 1952Chassis Number: XPAGTDLHX9332Transmission: ManualEngine Number: LHX9332Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 42394 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: Beige LeatherClick here for more details and images

A well-documented and well-built racing car with lots of potential.Presented in superb overall condition and expertly prepared for competitive racingThe 5.6-litre V8 engine has recently been rebuilt by fellow racer Simon LaneGearbox has just been rebuilt by Simon Green motorsportComprehensive history dating back to 1992 with supporting pictorial storybookEligible for CSCC Future Classics, AMOC Intermarque and recently raced in Bernie’s V8’sAs the 1960s roared on, so too did the introduction of a new generation of powerful, big block V8   saloon cars in the United States that came to be known as 'Muscle Cars'. Ford claimed 'bragging rights' with its dramatic new Mustang, destined to become one of the all-time greats, whilst other 'Motor City' favourites included the Dodge Charger, Pontiac GTO, Plymouth Barracuda and the Chevrolet Camaro. Introduced in 1966, the Camaro was offered in 2-door form with both coupé and convertible body styles to choose from, as well as a range of different engine sizes, and trim and styling packages. Top of the pile at Chevrolet was the macho Z28 powered by a rumbling 302cu.in. 5-litre small-block V8 and this was their chosen contender for the battles that lay ahead... Whilst salesman in car dealerships across the States fought it out for units sold, Chevrolet decided that it wanted to take the fight to Ford on the race tracks of America and prepared cars that complied with the 'Group 2' regulations drafted for the Sports Car Club of America Trans-American Series allowing cars with up to 5.7 litre engines to compete. Famous Camaro drivers included Mark Donohue, ex-F1 pilot Ronny Bucknum and Jerry Thompson. It was Donohue though, who took the spoils in the 1968 and '69 seasons driving a Penske-prepared Camaro with utter domination in the Trans-Am series. It wasn't long before European teams and drivers spotted the successes of their American counterparts and these cars soon appeared at race circuits across Europe.The story with this particular car started in 1992 when a 1967 road legal Chevrolet Camaro was sourced with the intention of building it into a race car to compete in the HSCC Improved Road Sports Championship. The car later ran in the Historic American Racers Association series run by paddock favourite Bernie Chodosh, where this example was often seen at the sharp end of the grid. For many years the car was enjoyed and raced before being subsequently sold and campaigned by other owners. Fast forward a number of years where the racer who originally built this Camaro re-discovered it languishing in a unit and decided to buy his old car back. A full rebuild of the car ensued, this time with the help of his son, who was now of the age to drive and who proved a decent ‘pedaler’ going on to much success. Sporting a 5.6-litre V8 engine, which has recently been rebuilt by fellow racer Simon Lane, the car runs a 4-speed manual gearbox. An ATL aluminium fuel tank resides in the boot, and we suggest all potential buyers of the car satisfy themselves as to the legality and currency of all safety equipment on board including seats, harnesses and fire extinguisher.Supplied with a hardback book put together by a previous owner showing a pictorial history of the car along with a decent file, this American Muscle-car has clearly been welcomed back into the family with lots of attention and provided years of happy racing memories. A potential candidate for gaining FIA papers, this car will get you on to the grid in the AMOC Intermarque Series, Bernie’s V8s and CSCC Future Classic and with the growing interest in ‘muscle cars’ from this era, will be welcome anywhere.  SpecificationMake: CHEVROLETModel: CAMAROYear: 1967Chassis Number: Not SpecifiedEngine Number: Not SpecifiedDrive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: Black ClothClick here for more details and images

An important part of, not only Motorsport History, but British Post-War Social History.John Heath and George Abecassis evolved a modified version of their successful 1949 HW-Alta design for the 1950 seasonA prototype and four team cars were to have been built, Team drivers were to be Abecassis, Heath and Stirling MossIn the event, only 3 cars and a prototype were built, FB IOI, 102, 103 and 104Built officially by HW Motors they were known as 'HWM's, a name that is synonymous with Britain's first post-war steps into the world of Grand PrixOffered by Silverstone Auctions is the first of the four works cars that has an incredible race history in 1950 raced by Moss, John Heath, Lance Macklin, George Abecassis and Rudi Fischer In all, it raced in fifteen events across Europe including Reims, Grand Prix de Bern and Grand Premio De Bari In October 1950, Stirling gave it its swansong win at Castle Combe before being sold to Oscar Moore in 1951Now road registered, XMC 34, it was purchased by our vendor in 1965 and enjoyed a further lease of life usually driven by some fast ladies at Midland hill climb eventsThis is an important car and we suggest you read the full description on our websiteThe significance of HWM to British motor racing history has been widely overlooked yet John Heath’s foray into the European racing scene with his private team of three Formula Two HWMs in 1950 marked the first post-war attack on International racing by a full team of British cars and effectively put Britain back on the motor racing map. Despite a shoestring budget and daunting physical, financial and logistical problems, John Heath’s enterprising little Ecurie raced at nineteen British and Continental meetings during 1950 with creditable success. In so doing they brought immeasurable prestige to Britain across a Continent still recovering from the ravages of war. Perhaps even more important to Britain’s future prestige in motor racing, during that I950 season the perspicacious Heath and partner George Abecassis gave the first chance of big time motor racing to a confident twenty-year-old rising star. His name was Stirling Moss.For the 1949 season, Heath decided that the team should design and build a car of their own for Formula Two and sports car racing. This dual-purpose car used a 2-litre Alta engine in a twin-tube chassis with wishbone front suspension, a transverse leaf spring, Standard 12 uprights, a Citroen steering rack (HW Motors were Citroen dealers), an ENV pre-selector gearbox and a live rear axle. This HW-Alta proved a great success, with viceless handling and took Heath to victory in the 70-mile 1949 BRDC Race in the IoM and a close second to Possi’s Delahaye in the GP de l’ACF, run for sports cars, at Comminges.Encouraged by this success, Heath and Abecassis evolved a modified version of the HW-Alta design for the 1950 season as the nucleus of a three car team. The offer of an entry at Le Mans encouraged the adoption of the dual-purpose design (a rear-engined F2 car had been contemplated), but when it was discovered that only prize-money was on offer, the Sarthe entry was dropped and the cars ran as open-wheel single-seaters throughout 1950. Team drivers were to be Abecassis, Heath and Moss (Peter Clark, Nick Haines and Johnnie Claes were to have been second drivers at Le Mans). A prototype and four team cars were to have been built, the fourth to have been a spare. In the event, Heath, Alf Francis and their small team of Tom O’Hara and Rex Woodgate, with Jack Tolly as a part-time welder, built only four cars, including the prototype, though it seems that an additional chassis may have been laid down but not completed. They were given chassis and engine numbers FB IOI, 102, 103 and 104, FB being Geoffrey Taylor’s prefix for Formula B Alta engines, FB the forerunner of F2. The first three numbers related to the cars intended for the team and, perversely, the prototype seems to have been given the last number. Presumably it was built without a number and given 104 for carnet purposes after the others had been allocated. It had been intended to sell the prototype to Baring, a locally based privateer. In fact Baring bought the brand-new 103 and the prototype was taken on to the team strength with 101 and 102. These new machines from HW Motors were given the name “HWM”.With confidence high and a great design, they famously gave breaks to young drivers of potential with the late Sir Stirling Moss being effectively offered his first works drive debuting at Goodwood at the Easter Meeting in April finishing 2nd in the Easter Handicap.Offered by Silverstone Auctions is the first of the four works cars that has an incredible race history in 1950 raced by Moss, John Heath, Lance Macklin, George Abecassis and Rudi Fischer. In all, it raced in fifteen events across Europe including Reims, Grand Prix de Bern and Grand Premio De Bari. In October 1950, Stirling gave it its swansong win at Castle Combe before being sold to Oscar Moore in 1951 who continued to race it with great success and even registered it for the road with the North London registration of XMC 34. It was purchased by our vendor in 1965 and enjoyed a further lease of life usually driven by some fast ladies at Midland hill climb events.Going back to 1950, only two cars were finished for the Easter Monday Goodwood event and HWM allowed privateer Alistair ‘Buster’ Baring to drive one to keep him sweet as he had the fourth built car earmarked for him. Stirling finished sixth in the Chichester Cup Formula Libre race and second in the Easter Handicap. A third car was ready for Roubaix in early May and Baring would get his own car a week later for Mons when finally all four works cars ran. They all had minor bodywork differences and the car offered here is 1950/A – the prototype. It was to be shared between George Abecassis (seven races) and John Heath (five races/ fourth place at Reims) Lance Macklin (four times, third at Mettet) and Sir Stirling Moss twice (first and third at Castle Combe). The result sheets show that, remarkably, the works HWMs were only second best to the likes of Alberto Ascari in the Ferrari and the works Alfas of Farina and Fangio.To help finance the 1951 season, the three works cars were sold off having been equipped with mudguards and lights to make them more saleable. In 1951 our car, last driven by Moss, was sold to privateer racer Oscar Moore of North London who registered it for the road and fitted a Jaguar 3.4 engine from an XK120 but enlarged to 3781 cc. He often liked to say he beat Coventry to it! This was the first HWM Jaguar and was very competitive from the outset capable of beating C-Types on twisty circuits. It was eventually sold to Plymouth motor trader, Gerry Scali, before turning up with London trader Danny Margulies who had handled the sale of the fabulous HWM Streamliner. It was purchased by our vendor, Terry Grainger, a well known Worcestershire architect and cricketer in 1965 and some fifty five years later he still owns it. At some point the bodywork had seen better days and Oldbury Wing and Panels Ltd. were tasked with carefully copying the original body. Over the past half century it has competed with great distinction at various hill-climbs driven by Georgina Baillie-Hill, Davina Galica and Gillian Goldsmith.This incredible piece of British motorsport history can trace its origins to those charismatic ‘Garagiste’ at HWM who took on 1950s Grand Prix legendsClick here for more details and images

He built up an extensive knowledge of the 6R4 and when it was obvious that they were reaching the end of their useful life at International level in early 1987, he decided to set up in business with Tony Pond building and preparing the legion of 'Clubman' 6R4s that were enjoying life at club level and in Rallycross. Unfortunately, this “pairing” did not last very long but the concept of modifying the 10 or so Clubman’s 6R4s that the pair had bought from Austin Rover into the DAM/TPR 4100 was born out of their experience in building and driving extreme rally cars.David was highly involved in building, preparing and selling Metro 6R4s for a number of years but always felt that he could have done a better job with the 6R4 and felt that improved aerodynamics, as well as ease of servicing, would be helpful.So, bravely, he 'bit the bullet' and started to create what was to become the DAM 4100. From the initial designs to the car seeing the light of day at the beginning of 1995 took almost three years, but David had to fit the new car around existing clients' cars. He said, “The old Metro 6R4 shape was very dated, and I think that what I've produced is something like the Group B cars would be looking like today." The new bodywork is Kevlar with easy-remove front and rear panels which flip-up for servicing. A14 LOO was the first prototype designed by Tony and David and was constructed as a standard wheelbase car from Clubman’s Chassis #183, unfortunately, consigned to the back of the workshop after their acrimonious split. David and Erica told us that they have fond memories (and lots of photos) of the “Yellow Peril” under wraps in their garage with the children in and out of it. A14 LOO was their own personal car and would always be so.As a business, David continued with the design and manufacture of the longer wheelbase car, of which it is understood 5 were completed, but he owned and so kept his favourite, A14 LOO, which retains the original standard wheelbase of the 6R4, making this car very straight forward to convert back if desired.The engines used were a 2.5-litre version of the V64V developed from the Cosworth DFV for the 6R4s by Cosworth guru Dave Wood. Well fettled with a 6 butterfly injection system, these power units could produce up to 275hp at 10,250 rpm and 225ft/lb at 8500 rpm. Power is fed via a twin-plate AP clutch via a set of drop-gears to facilitate easy ratio changes. The full dog-engagement gearbox feeds through a centre differential to all front and rear Salisbury-type LSDs. Brakes are aluminium AP 4-pot calipers, 12.1.1 Discs and carbon-metallic pads.After retiring the car on its first 2 rallies, it was a case of third time lucky as David won the 1995 Solent Stages in convincing fashion. He went on to win the Jersey 95 outright, the livery that the car sports today. Even though there was only a small number of DAM4100s made, they did win a number of rallies over the years.There are only a few genuine DAM4100s around and these distinctive cars are a seriously impressive piece of engineering and play a very important part in the history of the Metro 6R4. David’s engineering knowledge, his incredible attention to detail and his standards of preparation and finish would put many factory-built rally cars to shame.A14 LOO comes to the market in stunning condition. In 2015, David collected the car himself and took it to his works where he, and his staff, carried out an overhaul lasting many months. The car benefitted from a complete renovation as and where required, including new fuel tanks, pumps and filters, new seats, new fire system, new pads, and a custom stainless steel exhaust.In 2018, following a niggling oil leak, the engine was taken to his long-term V64V engine partner and guru - Pete Goodman. Pete personally carried out a complete and total rebuild of every part and the finished article was Dyno-tested at David’s works before refitting back into the car. This engine work, including the new exhaust, cost over £18k plus VAT. It has only run for five or six hours since, all at charity events or demonstrations. Offered with a good history file and all bills and receipts ~ unsold in our previous auction at a guide of £150,000 to £170,000 ~ it is now offered as a No Reserve lot and is in immaculate condition.Additionally the car has been inspected by Dansport of Chesterfield during the Christmas/New Year period and they are happy to discuss and give an accurate and current appraisal of the car. As part of this assessment in January 2021 Dansport fitted 6 new spark plugs, 6 new fuel injectors, new starter motor, new brake cylinder and went through the car top to bottom to make sure it is on the button ready to go.  There is a bill for £4,895 on file for this work, which includes a fresh MOT.It is now ready to use in any Group B demonstration event, including 'Slowly Sideways' and similar clubs as well as sprints, hill climbs, rally cross and all non FIA international events such as Rally Mallorca.  As one of only 200 Metro 6R4 competition rally cars ever built it also represents a rare chance to own an iconic Group B car with important and unique history.SpecificationMake: DAVID APPLEBY MOTORSPORTModel: DAM4100 GTIYear: 1987Chassis Number: SAXXRWNP7A0570183Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 9053Click here for more details and images

One of just four ‘Centenary’ Listers built by Brian Lister in 1989 with a clear history from new, and for considerably less than a period car or a newly built example.Reshaped and repainted as a perfect recreation of famous Lister racer, Art Huttinger’s monstrous Lister-ChevyFitted with a period-spec, MSA-approved, 5.3-litre Chevrolet V-8 in ‘98Offered with a current FIA HTP and an extensive history fileRaced extensively around Europe with multiple class podium finishesMaintained by specialists CKL Developments, Mark Lewis Engineering, and Classic Performance EngineeringOffered at a very competitive estimate, a very rare chance to own a fantastically prepared ListerNumerous privateer racing drivers got it in their minds to build their own car in the 1950s, but Brian Lister actually had the money and the engineering know-how. His first racing car, built in the mid-1950s with the able assistance of Don Moore and Archie Scott-Brown, was an incredible success, collecting a 1st or 2nd-place finish wherever it roamed. Its success was such that Lister soon had a deal with Jaguar to supply factory engines, and the Lister-Jaguar became a world-beater.Production proper commenced in 1958 with an Appendix ‘C’ compliant version boasting a 10% reduction in frontal area. A riot of swooping wheel arches and air scoops punctuated by a pronounced bonnet bulge and shallow windscreen, it was affectionately christened the 'Knobbly'. One of Lister's many customers was the American millionaire private entrant Briggs Cunningham, who ordered two with Jaguar XK power and a third designed to accept a Chevrolet V8. The combination of the Lister chassis and lightweight Chevy engine proved immensely successful, Cunningham's cars dominating both the 1958 and 1959 SCCA Championships. For the latter season, the Lister had been redesigned with sleeker bodywork by legendary aerodynamicist Frank Costin, however, by this time the writing was on the wall for front-engined sports-racers and Lister closed at the end of 1959.Thirty years after production ended, three craftsmen who worked on the original Listers joined together to produce a Second Sanction ‘Centenary Edition’, officially built by Brian Lister, now Light Engineering Ltd. Heading the team of craftsmen that built the Centenary Edition Cars were three individuals who worked on the originals in 1958: George Tyrell (in charge of production); Brian Elliott (responsible for hubs, De Dion suspension parts, and other components); and Bob Gawthrop, the craftsman welder who employed the traditional arc welding methods he used on the original cars. Just four cars were built using the original drawings and fitted with Jaguar engines upon completion. As true to the originals as possible, each car was given a proper “BHL” chassis number.‘BHL 148’, on offer here, moved up to the period-spec, MSA-approved 5.3-litre Chevrolet V-8 in 1998. In order to gain FIA HTP papers for the 2016 season, the previous owner commissioned CKL Developments to reshape and repaint the body as a perfect recreation of famous Lister racer, Art Huttinger’s monstrous Lister-Chevy, with its striking blue-and-white livery.Since 1989, ‘BHL 148’ has raced extensively across Europe, achieving multiple class podiums, and has raced at circuits like Goodwood, Spa Francorchamps, and Le Mans during which time it has been maintained by specialist CKL Developments, Mark Lewis Engineering, and Classic Performance Engineering. In 2018, ‘BHL148’ was campaigned by Andrew Smith and James Cottingham, who qualified 3rd out of 39 cars at the 2018 Silverstone Classic and ran as high as 2nd before finishing 5th, demonstrating its front-running potential.The current owner, a well-known and respected historic racer, bought ‘BHL148’ in 2019 with plans to continue to campaign the car across Europe. Unfortunately, he sustained a serious shoulder injury and has therefore never had the chance to enjoy ‘BHL148’, so it now comes reluctantly to the market.Offered at a very competitive estimate along with an extensive history file, including several letters from Brian Lister and an original press booklet from 1990, this is a very rare chance to own a fantastically prepared Lister with a clear history from new, and for considerably less than a period car or a newly built example. SpecificationMake: LISTERModel: SANCTION II ‘CENTENARY’Year: 1989Chassis Number: BHL 148Click here for more details and images

Competitive in the right hands and instant access to international historic racing.FIA HTP Papers Exp December 2025 – (GTP1 1966-71)Ginetta Sports Prototype G12 No 3/30Lotus/Ford 1600 Twin Cam – Mk 9 Hewland transaxleRaced in 2015 HSCC Guards Trophy (2nd in class)Described as ready to race with a spanner check and probably new tyres£12,000+ spent since purchase to freshen up ready for useGinetta’s G12 was a natural progression from the all-conquering G4 and featured an innovative new design with a mid-mounted engine configuration. The state-of-the-art G12 design featured a tubular steel spaceframe with a centre-body cockpit section bonded to it for extra strength, and removable front and rear body sections. The suspension comprised proven Triumph-derived uprights and double wishbones with coil springs at the front and the classic arrangement of single upper transverse links with lower revised wishbones and coil springs at the rear. Stopping power was provided by Triumph Spitfire-sourced Girling disc brakes mounted outboard on all four wheels. The neat, innovative and practical design of the G12 made the car instantly successful and its designer, Ivor Walklett, commented "It was magic right from the start, we did a bit of testing and it was obvious that we had something very special"’. Drivers Chris Meek and Willie Green stormed through 1966 and ’67 demolishing the established opposition of Divas and Lotus 26Rs.G12/3 is one of just 30 produced and, according to documents within the file, enjoyed a short period of racing before being crashed in the early part of 1967, by Peter Creasey, however, he kept the damaged car for posterity and continued racing in G12/21, going on to win his class in the 1967 Motoring News GT Championship. G12/3 changed hands as a ‘project’ a few times until, around 2012, the old 60’s racer was totally rebuilt by the highly talented race preparer Ian Macdonald. Once the rolling chassis was completed, a brand new Gathercole Lotus/Ford 1600cc Twin-Cam engine was fitted and mated to a fully rebuilt Mk9 Hewland transaxle. The now gloriously rebuilt G12/3 was proudly debuted in the 2013 HSCC Guards trophy raced by Ian Macdonald and a previous owner. In 2014, Ian raced with Mark Godfrey in the Guards Trophy, on this occasion finishing second in class and the car was used by Mark this time solo in the HSCC Guards Trophy sometime later. The engine was refreshed and the gearbox rebuilt in 2015 with approx. 11.5 hours track use since. G12/3 has FIA HTP papers issued in 2015 for FIA period GR (1966-1971) in FIA Class GTP1, which allows this car to be considered for any qualifying international event worldwide valid up until December 2025.The G4’s ‘big brother’, the G12, as well as being rare and desirable, is a practical and smart Sports Prototype that holds the door wide open to international historic racing and in the right hands could be rather competitive. Our vendor purchased the car in 2016, spent a further £12,000+ to bring the little racer up to its best then, as is often the case, didn’t get around to racing it much (3 hours) making this a great opportunity to pick up where our vendor left off, and with a ‘spanner check’ and some fresh fluids, it should be ready to race.
