2012 Ferrari California PLEASE NOTE: The cherished registration number visible in the photos - 'OOO5' - does not form part of the sale. However, it is available to purchase by separate negotiation.PLEASE NOTE: This lot possesses a MOT certificate valid until 24th November 2017.PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue was published the California has been connected to a Ferrari diagnostic machine which traced the 'engine control system failure' fault code to a duff spark plug. The spark plug has now been replaced and the fault code cleared. - One owner from new and 500 recorded miles- Supplied by HR Owen at a cost of £166,000'Despite its name and obvious main market, this is an old fashioned GT car in the best Ferrari tradition. While it is undoubtedly modern, the California harks back to a time when Ferrari had stopped making racing cars for the road or road cars you could race and just made really beautiful road cars. These models are prized by Americans who value their posing potential, and admired by the British who don't like to be seen to be trying too hard and like to justify their high performance machines with a modicum of practicality. Sometimes, it's nice to go out without your underpants outside your trousers. The California doesn't shout "Look at me!" It just oozes good taste' (Andrew English, The Telegraph, 16th October 2008).Introduced at the Paris Salon in 2008, the Ferrari California had been conceived as a grand tourer rather than an out-and-out sports car. Intended to appeal to those who might otherwise opt for a Bentley, Aston Martin or Mercedes-Benz, it was the Maranello marque's first design to feature the following: a front-mounted V8 engine, two-piece folding metal roof, dual clutch seven-speed transmission, direct fuel injection and multi-link rear suspension. Styled by Pininfarina and subject to over 1,000 hours of wind tunnel testing, the newcomer utilised aluminium for both its chassis and bodywork construction. Related to that in the F430, its 4297cc 'quad cam', 32-valve V8 developed some 453bhp and 358lbft of torque and was allied to the aforementioned dual clutch seven-speed transmission as standard (though, Ferrari would fit a six-speed manual to special order). Despite being among the least expensive models in the range, the California boasted carbon ceramic disc brakes and the traction control system from the marque's flagship 599. Plus it could still sprint from 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds and onto 193mph. Less demanding to drive than its siblings and therefore more enjoyable during everyday 'real world' motoring, the notional 2+2-seater more than fulfilled its brief of attracting new customers to the Ferrari fold. Updated during 2012, the California lost 30kg in weight and gained an extra 30bhp and 11lbft of torque (which dropped its quoted 0-60mph time to 3.8 seconds), while 2014 saw the introduction of the revised California T powered by a twin-turbo 3.9 litre V8. To quote Autocar's contemporary review of the normally aspirated California: 'We'd take it ahead of a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and even an Aston Martin DBS Volante - both more expensive than the Ferrari, both similarly quick, but both without the blend of everyday usability and outright enjoyment'.Offered for sale with clear title by order of the High Court, this particular example has formed part of an extensive London-based private collection since new. Purchased from H.R. Owen (South Kensington) for £166,000, its impressive specification included a yellow rev counter, aluminium foot rest, iPod installation, cruise control, carbon fibre driver zone and steering wheel, carbon fibre central tunnel, Beige central tunnel and armrest, leather / alcantara trim / Daytona, Scuderia Ferrari shield, Magnaride Dual Mode, Red Brake Callipers, parking sensors, interior / exterior electrochromic mirrors, special stitching and 20in Diamond Finished Wheel Rims. An HPi check reveals that (a) the Ferrari has had no former keepers and (b) it is not recorded on their stolen, finance, security watch or insurance write off databases. Entrusted to Jack Barclay for some £2,700 worth of additional colour coding, a UK Government Vehicle MOT History search shows that the high-performance GT was first MOT tested at 450 miles on 30th March 2015. Now displaying just over 500 miles to its odometer, this highly presentable California will hopefully possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. The 'engine control system failure' light currently illuminated on its dashboard will be investigated at the same time. As of 23rd November 2016 we had been advised that the fault code was most likely prompted by a weak battery but will have an update for interested parties come auction day. Offered for sale with H.R. Owen New Vehicle Invoice, original book pack (recording a service at 360 miles) and sundry paperwork. PLEASE NOTE: The cherished registration number visible in the photos - 'OOO5' - does not form part of the sale. However, it is available to purchase by separate negotiation.

2001 Porsche 911 GT2 Clubsport - Believed one of only 16 UK supplied RHD Club Sports and featuring the original sales invoice for £131,710- An extraordinary number of factory and dealer fitted extras including carbon pack, bucket seats, and special colour- Only one owner form new and just 55,000 recorded miles with a very comprehensive maintenance recordWhen Porsche launched the 996 version of their 911 GT2 in 2000, the car swiftly gained iconic status as one of the most focused and fastest Porsche production cars ever manufactured. With the reported 462bhp produced from its twin turbo flat six engine being transferred to the road through the rear wheels only (the Turbo model had four wheel drive), performance was electrifying with 60mph being achieved from rest in just under 4 seconds and a top speed of about 198mph.The comprehensive history file on this rather special GT2 Club Sport contains both the handwritten order form and the sales invoice form AFN Porsche on London's Park Lane. They state that the options chosen when new were special paint, carbon package, leather console, carbon rear console, leather sport steering wheel and leather steering column casing, front floor mats, leather interior light, carbon door entrance panels, aluminium dials, carbon gearshift and handbrake, top-tint windscreen, centre console, Becker radio/CD, Club Sport package, leather bucket seats, coloured wheel centres, passenger six-point harness, and security glass covering. The total of the two-page invoice was a generous £131,710.The purchaser resided in Bayswater, West London, and was very much a Porsche enthusiast who raced a modern 911, but despite having his own workshop to maintain his racing car, he entrusted the supplying dealer's Reading workshops to maintain the car for the first four annual services, and Porsche Hatfield for the 2006 and 2007 services. Thereafter he had the car maintained in his own workshop and transferred the registration into the name of his racing team in March 2013. As well as the aforementioned invoices, the history file also contains many maintenance invoices, many expired MOT certificates, and the hand book pack.With only a reported 129 GT2 models imported by Porsche into the UK when new of which apparently only 16 were to Club Sport specification, this one owner car has a super provenance and is described by the vendor as being excellent in all respects. It is sure to attract the interest of Porsche collectors.

1969 NSU 1200 TT - Former Autocar road test car and part of NSU's contemporary UK press fleet- 1 of just 9 survivors known to the DVLA, recent engine overhaul and front suspension refurbishment- Intriguing Mini Cooper S rival, MOT'd till November 2017An evolution of the NSU Prinz 1000 TT, the 1200 TT (Tourist Trophy) was launched in June 1967. Marketed as a sports saloon in much the same vein as the Mini Cooper S or Fiat Abarth 850TC, both of which it crossed swords with in the European Touring Car Championship, the newcomer was powered by a mid / rear-mounted 1171cc SOHC four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Boasting an oil cooler, all-round independent suspension, twin carburettors and front disc brakes, the compact four-seater was renowned for its nimble handling and nigh on 100mph performance.First registered as 'EPX 570H' on 15th October 1969, this particular right-hand drive example is notable for having formed part of NSU's contemporary press fleet. As well as being featured in the company's 'An invitation . . .' sales brochure, the 1200 TT acquitted itself with honours when pitted against a Mini 1275GT in Autocar magazine's December 1969 issue, copies of which are included in the sale. The magazine noting that the German machine was faster, freer revving, less cramped and more refined than its British rival.One of just nine 1200 TTs currently known to the DVLA, 'EXP 570H' has recently benefited from an engine overhaul (including new piston rings, bearings and timing chains) not to mention a front suspension refurbishment (uprated Spax adjustable dampers and poly bushes). Finished in Alfa Rot with Black cloth upholstery and displaying a credible but unwarranted 76,000 miles to its odometer, the sports saloon is variously described by the vendor as being in 'good' (bodywork, paintwork, gearbox), 'very good' (engine, electrical equipment) or 'excellent' (interior trim) order. With prices of LHD examples soaring on the Continent, 'EXP 570H' looks to be very good value especially given its wonderful provenance.

2002 BMW Alpina B3 3.3 According to the Alpina Register, this handsome righthand drive B3 is number 213 of a total UK production of 324; just 130 of which were Convertibles and only 26 of which built in 2002. The thinking man's alternative to BMW's ubiquitous M3, the B3 offered a unique blend of power and exclusivity. This prime specimen is finished in Orient Blue and trimmed in Grey leather. Its comprehensive specification includes: traction control; power steering; cruise control; air conditioning; electrically-controlled folding roof; electric windows; heated sports seats with height adjustment; parking aid; space-saver spare wheel; CD player; steering wheel gear selector; and original locking centre caps. Bought by the vendor as a summer toy, this very smartly presented four-owner BMW currently displays an unwarranted but entirely feasible 68,800 miles. It now requires a new home and comes complete with a full set of almost new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres, extensive history file, alarm, immobiliser and an MOT valid into March of next year.

1987 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth PLEASE NOTE: The chassis number for this vehicle is WF0EXXGBBEGR93447 and not as previously stated. - Prize winner exhibited at numerous shows on both sides of the Irish Sea- 13 services and 55,000 miles from new, original livery of Diamond White with Raven fabric upholstery- Graham Goode Racing Level 2 engine conversion and Mongoose stainless exhaust but otherwise standardIntroduced at the 1985 Geneva Motor Show, the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth - the first Blue Oval product to wear a Cosworth badge - was the brainchild of Stuart Turner and his team. Conceived as a means of homologating the Sierra for Group A Touring Car Racing, the newcomer's three-door monocoque bodyshell was aerodynamically enhanced via a deep front air dam, side skirts and 'whale tail' rear spoiler. Powered by a Cosworth-designed 2-litre DOHC 16-valve turbo engine allied to Borg Warner T5 manual transmission, the rear-wheel drive hatchback was credited with developing some 204bhp and 205lbft. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.2 seconds and 149.5mph in standard tune, total production of the first generation RS Cosworth is thought to have amounted to just 5,542 cars. First registered to Ford dealer Kirbys of Wrexham, this particular example was maintained by them up to 29,547 miles. Serviced seven times thereafter (most recently on August 1st 2016), it has covered just over 55,000 miles from new. Uprated by Cosworth specialist Graham Goode Racing with their Level 2 engine conversion at 48,240 miles (29/9/06), the RS has since benefited from a Cometic WRC-type head gasket at 48,670 miles (15/4/07) not to mention a new cambelt / other drive belts and replacement water pump at 50,860 miles (29/6/10). Obviously much loved, the Fast Ford has been exhibited at numerous shows on both sides of the Irish Sea with its most recent prize being awarded at the 2012 Tatton Park Classic Car Show. Finished in its original livery of Diamond White with Raven Fabric cloth upholstery, 'D318 GBF' sports a Mongoose stainless steel exhaust and is described by the vendor as being in 'very good overall' condition. Offered for sale with original book pack, history file, CD workshop manual and MOT certificate valid until 31st July 2017.
Lot 37
1952 Bristol 401 - 1 of just 618 made, matching chassis and engine numbers- Recent bare metal repaint, sundry rechroming and mechanical recommissioning"This, indeed, is the car for the connoisseur. It can only be modesty on the part of the Bristol publicity boys which has prevented them from quoting as the 401's slogan 'The Best Car in Britain'" (Motor Sport magazine, January 1953). Introduced in Autumn 1949, the 401 was characterised by its super-smooth, aerodynamic bodywork. Honed in the Bristol Aeroplane Company's wind tunnel and built using Milanese coachbuilder Touring's 'Superleggera' technique, it boasted a commendably lithe kerb weight (c.2,700lbs). Equipped with transverse-leaf independent front suspension and hydraulic drum brakes, the newcomer proved a notably fine handler taking Touring Class wins on both the Cannes and Tulip Rallies during 1951. Powered by a 1971cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the elegant sports saloon promised nigh-on 100mph performance. Only in production for four years (by which time a mere 618 are thought to have been made), the model's exclusive £3,212 13s 4d price tag was a reflection of the aircraft quality materials used in its construction.Supplied new by Anthony Crook Ltd of Hersham, Surrey, this particular example - chassis 401/1094 - was dry stored for some sixteen years prior to entering the current ownership. An enthusiast who had driven Bristols on various historic rallies, the vendor treated `VSJ 780' to a bare metal repaint and sundry rechroming plus some sympathetic mechanical recommissioning. As well as a new cylinder head gasket, the original `matching numbers' engine benefited from new core plugs, flushed out waterways and overhauled carburettors. The radiator core was attended to as were the water pump, starter solenoid, wiring and brakes. Finished in Cambridge Grey Metallic with Dark Blue leather upholstery, the Bristol is variously described by the vendor as being in `good' (electrical equipment), `very good' (bodywork, paintwork, engine, interior trim) or `excellent' (gearbox) condition. Offered for sale with parts manual invoices and various vehicle documents.

1933 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Sports Saloon - Bespoke Abbott coachwork as featured in The Autocar (16/2/1934)- Pictured in 'Coachwork on Rolls-Royce 1906-1939' by L. Dalton amongst others- Original registration number, engine and mother of pearl inlaysHighlighting its `straight waistline, swept tail, and swept valanced wings and running boards', The Autocar also pictured chassis GGA3 as part of an article entitled `Coachwork of Character - A Review of Special Bodies of All Types for Large and Small Chassis' which was published on February 16th 1934. One of just nine 20/25 chassis to be clothed by E.D. Abbott Ltd of Farnham, the Sports Saloon was supplied new to Mrs Duffus of Cumberland Court, London W1. The Rolls-Royce's elegant exterior was complemented by an equally stylish interior featuring mother-of-pearl inlays as well as leather upholstery and silk pulls. Intended for use `in the UK - mainly touring' and to carry two passengers most of the time, the Sports Saloon belonged to tank commander Lt Colonel C.M.F. Deakin by late 1945. Thereafter, it is known to have passed through the hands of Colonel R.J.K. Fenton (Woodbridge), Paddon Bros (London), Dr F.L. Lawson (Ontario), Dr J.C. Wain (Pennsylvania), James F. Labadie (Ohio), Dale W. Beavers (Ohio), John H. Parnell (Louisiana), Lyn Thomas (Dyfed), Les J. Jones (New Tredegar) and Norman Cawood (Skipton).Extensively restored by Mr Cawood between 1995 and 2010, chassis GGA3 has since been treated to a new headlining, stainless steel exhaust and Wilton carpets not to mention being reunited with its original `BPA 440' number plate. Illustrated in `Coachwork on Rolls-Royce 1906-1939' (L. Dalton), `The Flying Lady' magazine and the Rolls-Royce Owners' Club's 20/25 handbook, this most attractive Sports Saloon has benefited from much recent cosmetic and mechanical work following its acquisition as part of a business deal by the vendor, a lifelong Roll-Royce collector, and performed extremely well on a recent road test. Offered with a fresh MoT and ready to be enjoyed, BPA 440 is only being offered to help fund other projects.

1954 Austin-Healey 100 - A home market car in the current family ownership for 40-plus years- An older restoration with supporting photographs- Recent gearbox overhaul by JME HealeysDonald Healey's eponymous company built a prototype two-seater sports car for display at the 1952 London Motor Show. It was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and sported a notably sleek body designed by Gerry Coker and built by Tickford. It was dubbed the 'Healey Hundred' and, subject to a suitably encouraging response, Healey planned to build production versions in-house at his Warwick factory. As things transpired, the Ice Blue prototype so excited Austin's Managing Director, Leonard Lord, that he struck a deal to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The newcomer was renamed the Austin-Healey 100/4 and the rest is history.The 100/4's chassis was a departure from the company's previous backbone designs and comprised a pair of three-inch square box-section side members. The car had 11in drum brakes all round, while the front suspension was independent by coil springs and the rear featured a traditional 'live' axle supported by semi-elliptic leaf springs. A 1953 BN1 tested by Motor returned a top speed of 106mph and achieved the 0-60mph dash in 11.2 seconds. A total of 10,688 BN1s were produced between January 1953 and 1955.This lovely-looking home market 100/4 is finished in Spruce Green matched with a Green leather interior. The subject of an older restoration, 'PPT 848' has remained within the same family ownership for over 40 years, though apparently had little use since the last full service. The vendor these days regards the bodywork and paintwork as 'very good' and the 2.6-litre engine and interior trim as 'good', while the three-speed manual overdrive gearbox has recently been overhauled by JME Healeys. He is now offering the Healey complete with new battery and history file containing photos of the restoration, plus sundry invoices and old MOTs etc.

The Jaguar D-Type' by Pritchard, Palawan Press The book includes the story of the design and development of the D-type, as well as a racing history of both the Works cars and those belonging to private owners. The focus is on the D-type, but naturally included is the XK-SS, a road-legal sports car produced after Jaguar retired from racing, by converting 16 of the unsold, unfinished D-types. As is customary for Palawan editions, there is an extensive section setting out the history, both written and photographic, of every D-type made. Appendices include technical descriptions, road tests and biographies of the works drivers and the technical staff involved in the development and racing of the D-type. Comprising 420 pages, with over 500 photographs, the book measures 290 x 340mm and is exquisitely designed and presented in two limited editions. Limited to just 250 copies, numbered 1 - 250 (this example numbered 169), bound in green buckram cloth, silkscreened and silver foil blocked on the front and spine, and encased in a green buckram cloth slipcase with silver foil blocking.This clothbound edition is now sold out - Less than ten examples of the leather-bound edition are available, retailing for £3000.
Lot 274
A Rolls-Royce Factory Prototype or Mystery Mascot, circa 1911 An unusual and exciting piece of Rolls-Royce ephemera, that has baffled historians and enthusiasts for many years. Reputedly the missing link between the 'Whisper' and 'Spirit of Ecstasy' mascots that were first fitted to the 40/50HP silver ghost motorcars of 1911.Constructed from silver-plated bronze, the piece sports many distinguishing features linking it to both mascots; These include the fluttering robes of the 'Whisper' and the swept-back arms found on the 'Spirit of Ecstasy' (plus remarkably similar facial features and feet).The mascot is offered in very good original condition, with some light wear and discolouration to the plating, commensurate with age. Fitted to a later Rolls-Royce cap as a display base, the mascot measures 12cm tall and was formerly on display in the premises of 'The London Horseless Carriage Company'. Surely one of the most important Rolls-Royce offerings of recent years.
