PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press the vendor has informed us of the following: 'McGrath Maserati prepared the Indy for its most recent MOT test during August this year and identified two faults I thought I would flag with you - a leakdown test shows leakage on the 8th cylinder and a ticking noise and one of the two engine fans has a short circuit that causes intermittent fuse failure - we have isolated it so only one fan is connected at the moment'. - 1 of just 440 examples made - Imported from Italy by Melvyn Rutter (of Morgan fame) and UK registered in 1996 - Recent cosmetic and mechanical improvements and MOT'd till August 2017 Although not officially announced until the March 1969 Geneva Salon, the Maserati Indy had appeared in prototype guise on Carrozzeria Vignale's stand at the previous season's Turin Salon. Named in honour of the marque's two great Indianapolis 500 victories (1939, 1940) the newcomer was artfully styled; its crisp lines belying a four-seater interior. Notable as the first Maserati to employ unit construction, the fastback coupe was equipped with independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, a well-located 'live' rear axle, front / rear anti-roll bars, four-wheel ventilated disc brakes and recirculating-ball steering. Initially powered by a 4136cc 'quad-cam' light alloy V8 allied to either five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, the Indy boasted a 155mph top speed. Superseded by later 4.7 and 4.9 variants, just 440 4.2 litre examples were made. Reportedly imported by Melvyn Rutter (of Morgan fame), chassis AM116*670 is understood to have benefited from a partial restoration and repaint before being UK road registered as 'EHJ 223H' on 24th July 1996. While more recent work is said to have included a top end engine overhaul, refurbished engine bay, refinished wheels and new tyres. Further treated to new seat belts front and rear last year plus attention to its air-conditioning system and petrol pumps, the Maserati sports a dealership sticker from Center Car SRL of Novi Ligure, Italy and currently displays an unwarranted 66,300km. Pleasingly retaining its original engine and MOT'd until August 2017, this handsome Maserati is variously described by the vendor as being in 'average' (V8, beige interior trim), 'good' (five-speed manual gearbox, electrics) or 'very good' (bodywork, paintwork) condition. PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press the vendor has informed us of the following: 'McGrath Maserati prepared the Indy for its most recent MOT test during August this year and identified two faults I thought I would flag with you - a leakdown test shows leakage on the 8th cylinder and a ticking noise and one of the two engine fans has a short circuit that causes intermittent fuse failure - we have isolated it so only one fan is connected at the moment'.

- Factory built and correctly registered with the DVLA as a 'Le Mans Sports Jaguar D-Type'- Based on a Jaguar XJ6 Series II donor vehicle complete with 4.2 litre engine and manual transmission- Cream upholstery, turned aluminium dashboard, independent rear suspension and side-exit exhaustOriginal examples of Jaguar's Le Mans specification C and D-Type Jaguars rarely come to market these days and, when they do, these multi-million pound vehicles are way beyond the pockets of ordinary mortals. For this reason there has for some time been a thriving market in evocations. Among the businesses involved has been David Yoxall's Le Mans Sports Car Company, which produced D-Type replicas in Westbury, Wiltshire from 1997 to c.2000. The right-hand drive example offered is understood to have been built by them courtesy of an XJ6 Series II donor car, that provided the major mechanical components including: the all-round independent suspension, rear subframe with inboard rear disc brakes, 4.2 litre straight-six XK engine and four-speed manual gearbox. Finished in Metallic Blue and trimmed in Dark-blue piped Cream-coloured upholstery, this crowd-stopping two-seater additionally features knock-off Dunlop-style alloy wheels, side exhaust, engine-turned aluminium facia, wood-rim steering wheel and a luggage locker secreted beneath the rear clam. It is correctly registered as a 'Le Mans Jaguar D-Type' as opposed to adopting the identity of the donor vehicle, has had three former keepers and been in the current ownership since 2014. The 16,000 indicated miles is presumed to represent the total to date. 'KLM 517N' is now being offered complete with a fresh MOT certificate and is deserving of a caring new home.The monocoque construction D-Types were produced by Jaguar Cars between 1954 and 1957 - records suggest a total of 18 factory versions and 53 customer ones. Between them they were victorious in the all-important Le Mans 24 Hour race in 1955, 1956 and 1957 - the first triumph falling to the Works car of Mike Hawthorn and the latter two to the Scottish team Ecurie Ecosse. The XKSS was a road version of the D-type, of which just 16 examples were made.
Developed from the original TA Series Midget, introduced in 1936, the TC made its debut immediately after the end of the Second World War, soon becoming MG's best-selling sports car. Exactly 10,000 cars were produced. The TC was a lightly-modified version of the TB with the same engine, transmission and running gear, but with a slightly widened cabin, and minor changes to the rear suspension. Independent tests confirmed a top speed of 75mph, and an easy cruising speed of more than 60mph. All TCs had centre-lock wire spoke wheels, and a big, exposed, slab fuel tank, with a fold-back soft top and removable canvas side screens for weather protection.We are informed by the owner that this early example has had just six owners since 1946. A previous owner commenced its restoration in 1997 but died in 2009, before the work could be finished. The car was then acquired by noted Alvis restorer Roger Gooding who completed the car in 2014. Immediately afterwards it was purchased by the vendor. Described as having "very good" bodywork, paintwork, replacement engine and interior, a recent trip to Northern Spain was enjoyed without any problems. Accompanied by correspondence and invoices dating back to 1987, assorted MoTs and a Swansea v5 document, this smart Midget also benefits from a set of sidescreens and tonneau with matching new hood.
- 1 of just 12 AM90 chassis bodied to this design by Offord and the sole known survivor- Extensively restored during the current nine-year ownership with much work done by recognised marque specialists: Arthur Archer, Fopp d'Hane and Ian Polson- Large history file and enjoyed on numerous Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq Register rallies to Ireland, throughout England and other club events in France"The 1930 Le Mans race is often remembered for the struggle in which one Mercedes defeated the Blower Bentleys but was itself vanquished by the 6¢s, whereas the most telling, and also the most significant performance, historically, came from the brace of Talbot 90s which finished third and fourth, ahead of all but two Speed Sixes. Using a plain unsupercharged production engine of only 2? litres, with pushrod overhead valves, not overhead camshaft, and fitted with a single carburettor, they beat every Bentley below 6¢ litres, together with the 38/250 Mercedes, Earl Howe's supercharged twin-cam Alfa Romeo and a 5-litre Stutz. Somewhat naturally they won the Indice de Performance. The great Charles Faroux called their performance stupefiant, and he was right. Not only were the two Talbots tremendously fast and reliable, they were practically silent as well, making no more fuss than a rolled umbrella" (D.B. Tubbs, `The Talbots 14/45 - 110' Profile Publications).Capitalising on the success of the Fox & Nicholl Team Cars at Le Mans, Talbot are understood to have built some 216 examples of the 90. Available with a choice of wheelbase lengths, the model was underpinned by a substantial ladder frame chassis featuring all-round leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Developing up to 93bhp, its advanced 2276cc straight-six OHV engine was allied to four-speed manual transmission (though, later versions could be had with a four-speed pre-selector gearbox). Potential buyers could choose from a range of factory bodystyles or employ the services of an independent coachbuilder. Regardless of the coachwork worn, most 90s were capable of the 90mph top speed that their name implied. An understandably popular choice with sporting motorists, the Talbot enjoyed continued competition success as a privateer entry at events such as the Irish GP, Ards TT and Brooklands thanks to the efforts of Bill Esplen ('GN 5872') and the Burt brothers ('GO 1568') etc.A genuine AM90 Speed Model, 'GP 6096' is understood to be one of just twelve such chassis to be fitted with Close Coupled Drophead Coupe coachwork by Offord and indeed the sole known survivor (although, a very similar car which was built under sub-contract by Carlton still exists). According to its copy factory build record, chassis 30000 was erected on 1st January 1931 and as such is accepted by the Vintage Sports Car Club as being of Vintage manufacture (which in turn allows it to run with other pre-1931 machinery in VSCC events). The AM90 is accompanied by a very large and interesting history file which chronicles the last six decades of its life. Thought to have belonged to Mr D. English during the mid-1950s, other keepers have included Mr Williamson, Mr John Gray, Mr Brian Fidler, Mr Peter Theobald, Mr Peter Sutcliffe, Mr Gillie Andrew, Mr Tim Wadeson, Mr Michael Manning and, since 2007, the vendor. Mr Gray was the Sunbeam Talbot Darracq Register's secretary and there is a photo on file of him showing none other than Georges Roesch over 'GP 6096' (the 90 engine was reputedly Roesch's favourite among all those he designed for Talbot). Mr Theobald took the Close Coupled Drophead Coupe to Rhodesia in 1968 and thereafter it relocated to South Africa. Mr Sutcliffe used the four-seater for a long distance rally during his brief tenure (1977-1978) and Mr Wadeson finally repatriated the AM90 to the UK in the early 2000s. Substantially improved during the seller's custodianship, chassis 30000 has benefited from a thorough engine overhaul (reground crankshaft with shell bearings, Arrow rods, new pistons, new timing gears and new oil pump gears etc) plus the installation of a down draught carburettor, freeflow exhaust and new dynastart bearings (the unit having been otherwise rejuvenated for a previous keeper) all of which was carried out by marque specialists Arthur Archer and Foppe d'Hane. Further boasting a 'New Zealand' cartridge oil filter conversion, solid state voltage regulator, correct complete new 'wet' radiator and halogen headlights, the Talbot was entrusted to marque specialist Ian Polson for a back axle refurbishment and new petrol tank. Foppe d'Hane restored the wooden body support frame as necessary before the coachwork was treated to a bare metal respray in Dark Blue. Re-upholstered in contrasting Light Blue, the interior is protected by a new Black double duck hood. Riding on fresh tyres, this rare and potent Roesch Talbot is only being offered for sale because a shoulder injury makes its right-hand manual gearchange awkward for the vendor. A delightful and seemingly very well sorted motorcar, it has conveyed him on numerous STD Register Tours around the UK and to Ireland and France etc. Offered for sale with the aforementioned history file, bills substantiating the work undertaken and an original first edition handbook and spares list, 'GP 6096' is summed up as 'a very rare and very usable car with wind-up windows and relaxed cruising ability'.
- Understood to be a 'matching numbers' example but re-bodied in the style of a Vanden Plas Tourer as part of a major 'chassis up' restoration (1988-1995)- Continuous ownership history from 1944 to date (just four keepers during that time)- Offered for sale by the executors of the late C.J. Trigwell, history file chronicling the restorationIntroduced at the 1934 London Motor Show, the Speed 20 SC was among a new breed of Alvis cars that combined high performance (long a recognised marque virtue) with luxury and refinement. Based around a sturdy cruciform-braced ladder-framed chassis equipped with sizable fourteen-inch drum brakes and 'jelly mould' wire wheels, it boasted such technological novelties as independent transverse-leaf front suspension and synchromesh on all (four) forward gears. Powered by a smooth but free-revving 2762cc OHV straight-six engine featuring dual magneto / coil ignition, triple SU carburettors and an aluminium crankcase, the model was reputedly capable of 89mph. A corollary of its low-slung stance and long bonnet line, the Speed 20 SC proved an ideal canvas for the coachbuilder's art. Although, the majority were bodied to factory-approved designs by Charlesworth and Cross & Ellis, a select few received rather more bespoke treatment.Chassis 11940 was originally bodied as a limousine by Lancefield and supplied new to Albert Testemale Esq of Surrey on 23rd November 1934. Registered to John James Richardson Esq of Selby a decade later, the Alvis remained in his care for forty-four years. Barn stored for the last thirty-six of those, `BLE 892' was purchased from Mr Richardson's estate by Keith Taylor Esq during 1988. Having discarded the original coachwork because it was beyond economical repair, Mr Taylor embarked upon a major `chassis up' restoration. Able to carry out all the mechanical work himself, he commissioned a replacement Tourer body based on Vanden Plas' Speed 20SC design for the 1935 model year before advertising the car as an incomplete but running project in late 1992. Some three years and £24,000 later, new owner Chris Watson Esq finally succeeded in returning `BLE 892' to the road thanks to the assistance of marque specialist Red Triangle and Rob Green of Gloria Coachworks who fitted the more flowing Continental-style wings etc at the rate of £12 per hour! Now offered for sale by the executors of the late C.J. Trigwell Esq who bought it from Mr Watson via H&H's April 11th 2001 auction for £42,000, the Alvis appears to have been well kept ever since. Although its refurbishment was completed some twenty-one years ago, the overall impression is of a highly presentable motor car that the executors variously rate as being in `very good' (engine, electrics, gearbox, paintwork) or `excellent' (bodywork, interior trim) condition. An engineer and garage owner by profession, Mr Trigwell was also an Alvis enthusiast owning several examples of the marque. Understood to be a `matching numbers' car with regard to its major mechanical components, the four-seater also sports Brooklands aeroscreens, sidescreens and a tonneau cover. The history file comprises a copy of the original factory build sheet, continuation buff logbook (in Mr Richardson's name), restoration photos and numerous receipts / invoices.
- Supplied new via Coombs & Sons of Guildford to Captain J.R. Strayan of Sunningdale, Berkshire and initially road registered as 'TPG 638'- Rumoured to have participated in the RAC British International Rally and to have seen service in America as a diplomatic vehicle- Highly original, unrestored, 'matching numbers' example showing a very plausible but unwarrated 66,000 recorded miles- Potentially Mille Miglia eligibleGiven its graceful lines and generous proportions it now seems a little incongruous that the MkVII should have had such a glorious career as a rally and track car. Still the only Jaguar model to have won the Monte Carlo Rally, it proved equally effective at Silverstone (taking top honours in the International Trophy meeting for five years in a row) and even contested the 1953 Mille Miglia.According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis 717378 was manufactured on 27th August 1953. Initially finished in Black with Red leather upholstery, the MkVII left Browns Lane barely a week later. Supplied new via Coombs & Sons of Guildford to Captain J.R. Strayan of Sunningdale, Berkshire, the Jaguar is rumoured to have participated in the RAC British International Rally and indeed comes with a plaque issued to competitor number 136. It has also been suggested that the sports saloon served as a diplomatic vehicle in America for several years. However, in the absence of hard evidence the vendor gives little credence to these stories. Purchased by its previous keeper at the famous Hershey Swap Meet, chassis 717378 was repatriated during 2012. Yet to be restored, the MkVII shows a highly credible but unwarranted 66,000 miles to its odometer. The interior upholstery is self-evidently original and the paint looks to have been untouched for decades. Commenting on `TPG 638', the seller notes that `the 3.4 litre engine is one of the best I have ever driven and the Moss gearbox is quiet. The bodywork is original and sound. I would think it must be one of the best original cars available in the UK at the moment'. Having inspected this apparently `matching numbers' and potentially Mille Miglia eligible example at first hand we are inclined to agree with him. Offered for sale with original handbook, period luggage set and sundry paperwork.
- Treated to a very extensive, six-figure restoration and upgrade programme during the late 1990s- Featured on the front cover of, and the subject of an article in, Jaguar World magazine (July 2000)- Uprated engine (XJS fuel-injected), automatic gearbox, power steering, brakes, suspension and wheels / tyres etcOne of the all-time great production engines, Jaguar's SOHC V12 was derived from its cancelled XJ13 sports racer project. Eerily smooth and effortlessly powerful, it gave the E-Type a new lease of life. No ordinary E-Type V12 Roadster, this particular example is the result of a major restoration and upgrade programme that was undertaken during the late 1990s at a rumoured cost of well over £100,000 (a still impressive sum today but gargantuan at the time)! Subsequently featured on the front cover of, and the subject of an article in, Jaguar World magazine (July 2000 issue), the concept behind its transformation was to create an E-Type with more contemporary road manners; an idea also shared by such specialist firms as Vicarage, Beacham and Eagle. Based on a `home market' Series III V12 Coupe donor, albeit with so much new metalwork added that little of the original car was re-used, the re-engineered Roadster was fitted with a more powerful, fuel-injected Jaguar XJ-S V12 5.3 litre engine allied to automatic transmission. As well as the more modern powerplant, the two-seater had attention paid to its power steering, suspension and brake systems. Riding on wider than standard wheels / tyres, the uprated Jaguar was re-trimmed in a fetching combination of Light Grey and Dark Blue and even treated to a bespoke leather hood cover. Having covered just 1,200 miles since its reconfiguration was completed, the E-Type remains highly presentable. Starting readily upon inspection and forming part of a private marque collection for the past four years, the two-seater is currently undergoing a cherished number plate transfer. Seemingly well suited to long distance motoring, this special Roadster is offered for sale with a substantial lever arch file full of receipts chronicling its refurbishment, MOT certificate valid until June 2017 and numerous photos.
- A very rare vehicle of which only 1,400 are believed to have been built, and thought to have covered only 35,500 miles from new- UK registered in 2009 and reportedly re-wired in 2010, and thought to be extremely original and retain its original body panels and interior- 331ci V8 engine and semi-automatic gearbox, plus power steering, brakes, and windowsRelatively little is known about the Stateside history of this delightful example of 1950s Americana, though it is initially believed to have been employed by the manufacturer to introduce the dealers to the concept of the Station Wagon. It then formed part of the factory museum until purchased by a private collector. The Wagon was certainly an expensive option and it is thought only 1,400 were ultimately built, of which the one offered is a rare and extremely original surviving example that has covered just 35,400 miles from new. It was first UK registered in 2009, when in the care of a Mrs Caroline Rosemary Kisko, and has had only one further keeper since, who acquired the car in May 2013. It is powered by a 331ci 'Firepower' Hemi V8 engine that drives through Chrysler's patented Fluid Drive semi-automatic transmission. The vehicle is presented in its original livery of Brown over Beige and trimmed in perfectly patinated faux crocodile leather. The load area is a wonderful mix of highly polished wood and chrome ribbing, while the facia's a sea of ornate controls, including those for the factory-fitted heater and radio. The steering wheel has the words Power Steering inset into the centre, just in case you were in any doubt the car featured such technology. The Chrysler also sports power brakes and power windows and rides on its original wire wheels - an option of the period - shod with White walled tyres. The only non-original features of note are the bumpers, which are Chrysler Imperial ones. Rust-free, thanks to spending its life in a dry climate, '536 XUU' was apparently rewired in 2010 and is now felt by the vendor to have an 'excellent' V8 engine, and 'very good' transmission, bodywork, paintwork, interior trim and electrical system. A great opportunity.
- Believed to be an original RHD car sold new in South Africa, and enjoyed by just one owner there until their passing- Apparently bequeathed to his niece in Australia, the car was taken to that country and then traded for an MG- Acquired in Australia by our vendor, he imported it into England in 2014 but sadly illness now dictates its saleThe Healey 100/4 was designed by Donald Healey's eponymous company, and assembled by Austin at Longbridge using Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and bodies crafted by Jensen Motors. It had been the star of the 1952 London Motorshow and subsequently took the American market by storm too. For 1956, the wheelbase was lengthened, the bodywork facelifted and the four-cylinder engine replaced by BMC's six-cylinder C Series engine. Called the 100/6, it was initially available in 2+2 guise (BN4), with the two-seater (BN6) version like the sale car following in 1957.Echoing the BMC rally cars, '465 UYN' is smartly presented with White factory hardtop and Red bodywork. Its interior though is rather smarter than that of the spartan competition machines and features Red-piped Black vinyl bucket seats, Red-edged Black carpets and wood-rimmed alloy steering wheel. A right-hand drive example, it was apparently a CKD model sold new in South Africa during 1957, where it remained in the same ownership until the gentleman passed away, at which point it was inherited by his niece. She took it to Australia, where it was exchanged for a V8-engined MG. The vendor acquired the car in Australia and repatriated it in the December of 2014. Sadly, illness means he can no longer enjoy the Healey and he's now offering this very attractive car, complete with the bumpers and hood frame not currently fitted. In addition to the aforementioned extras, the Healey sports a pair of Lucas auxiliary lights, period driver's door mirror and rides on a set of chrome wire wheels. The vendor presently classifies its bodywork, interior trim and electrical equipment as 'excellent', the straight-six engine and paintwork as 'good to very good', and the four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive as 'good'. The odometer currently displays an unwarranted 37,166. An apparently very tidy example of a fast-appreciating British classic.
- 'The Old Lady' - sold new to John Gott and used extensively in period competition- Winner of a Coupe Des Alpes on the 1951 Alpine Rally- Veteran of four Alpine Rallies 1948 - 1951, current family ownership since 1961Founded in 1936, the H.R.G. Engineering Co. Ltd. drew its name from the initials of its founders - Major Ted Halford (a contributor to the Vale Special project), Guy Robins (formerly of Trojan) and Ron Godfrey (the G in GN and the Godfrey in Godfrey & Proctor). The newcomer initially operated from the Mid-Surrey Gear Company in Norbiton and the design of its products was clearly influenced by the GN and Frazer-Nash motorcars in which Godfrey had previously been involved. The first offering was a traditionally-styled open two-seater sports car with front-mounted 1496cc OHV Meadows 4ED engine mated to a four-speed Moss gearbox and driving through an ENV spiral bevel axle. The chassis members were bought in from Rubery Owen and the steering gear sourced from Marles, while most of the aluminium over ash frame bodies were manufactured by Reall of West London. Priced at £395, the 1.5 litre HRG was half the cost of the equivalent Aston Martin and some 1,000 pounds lighter. During 1936, the company established its own premises at Tolworth in Surrey. Two years later it launched the '1100' that was powered by a 1074cc 10hp OHC Singer unit and in 1939, as supplies of the Meadows engine dried up, it opted for Singer's 1496cc 12hp engine for what it now called its '1500' model. Car production resumed after the war and continued until 1956, with the business soldiering on for a further ten years in an engineering consultancy capacity. Figures for total production vary, but were in the region of 240, of which some 90 percent are said to survive today.Supplied new by Follet of Mayfair with Aerodynamic coachwork to renowned race and rally driver and later Chief Constable of Northamptonshire, John Gott, there can be few HRGs with such an illustrious period competition history as JGO 463. Successes include an Open Team Award on the 1948 Alpine Rally, 3rd in class in the 1949 Alpine Rally, fastest 1500 on the Stelvio and Vars Passes in the 1950 event following removal of the Aerodynamic bodywork, 1st in class and winner of a Coupe Des Alpes in the 1951 Alpine Rally - the first British 1500 to win such a prestigious award, and 4th in class (without loss of marks) in the 1952 Tulip Rally. The car competed in a 1950 production car race at Silverstone and was campaigned in numerous other events both national and International before John Gott sold 'The Old Lady' to A S Macdonald in 1954. In 1961 it came into the possession of Mr Roy Keevil who gave it to his son, Michael, in 1978. On his death in 1986 it passed to his widow, Mrs Carol Ann Keevil, and upon her remarriage it was registered in her new name of Lawrence. The car has therefore been in her family for over 55 years.In the late 1980s Mrs Lawrence sent the car to Forres in Scotland to be looked after by ex-HRG employee and restorer, Dick Watson, who was a family friend. During this period various works were carried out before the car went on display at the Atwell Motor Museum in Calne, Wiltshire, between 1992 and 1998. Following her retirement, Mrs Lawrence brought the car home and used it on occasional outings and events, with servicing being carried out by her husband, a retired qualified motor engineer with guidance and advice from Dick Watson. Most recent works include attention to the brakes and the fitment of a full set of made to measure wool carpets bound and gaitered.The car is accompanied by an extensive history file including correspondence from John Gott confirming his ownership and some of the car's exploits, buff logbook from 1958, assorted records of work carried out since 1961, numerous invoices, expired MoTs and other sundry correspondence. More recent invoices include re-trimming of the interior in 1999 and replacement of the carpets at a cost of over £1,000 in 2016.In recent years the car has been used on a number of rallies and events including the 2011 Cotswold Classic. Offered with Swansea V5C document, this historic HRG is 'on the button' and ready to be enjoyed.
- 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.

The Charity Shield In recognition of the 50th anniversary of 1966, a milestone in English Football when England won the FIFA World Cup, Thomas Lyte have re-built the retired Charity Shield. www.thomaslyte.com/the-charity-shield. The fourth edition of the Charity Shield, a unique object in its own right, has been handcrafted by an expert team of silversmiths to raise money for the Bobby Moore Fund, Cancer Research UK. www.cancerresearchuk.org/support-us/become-a-partner/our-charity-partners/bobby-moore-fund The Charity Shield will be sold at a live auction to be conducted by Graham Budd of Graham Budd Auctions, the specialist auctioneer of sports memorabilia. The sale is taking place at the Royal Garden Hotel, High Street Kensington, London, on the evening of Monday 10th October at 9.30pm. You can bid for this piece of football history by live online bidding through www.the-saleroom.com/grahambudd. There are no auctioneer's fees, live internet bidding fees or VAT to pay. What you bid is what you pay. The new trophy is hand spun from 4.2kg Sterling 925 Silver. Standing an impressive 58cm squared, the trophy underwent the painstaking process of casting, hand chasing, hand engraving and polishing, with over 130 craft hours used to make this stunning piece. It is a perfect replica of the 1908 trophy which remains in The FA’s possession at Wembley. This incredible piece of craftsmanship is not only an iconic symbol of sportsmanship and the game of football, but the purpose of creation lies in fundraising for the Bobby Moore Fund. The fourth edition of the Charity Shield will be sold with all of the money raised going to the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK, in doing so, replicating the original inspiration of the Charity Shield in 1908, which sought to give something back. Over the past few months the Shield has been on a journey across the UK, appearing at some of sports most inconic events, such as The Community Shield Final. On the final leg of its journey, it is being housed at the National Football Museum in Manchester for all sports fans to enjoy until the day of the auction on 10th October. Founded in 1908 as a successor to the Sheriff of London Charity Shield, the F.A. Charity Shield began as contest between the respective champions of the Football League and the Southern League. The first encounter was between Manchester United and Queen’s Park Rangers. The format changed and eventually became a match between the reigning League Champions and F.A. Cup winners, although not exclusively if for example a team had won ‘the double. In February 2002, the competition and trophy was renamed the FA Community Shield. The then-FA marketing director Paul Barber noted this was in order to reward the work of those contributing to the game, who go unnoticed: "The most important thing is that the many good causes that have benefited from the shield in the past will continue to benefit from the Community Shield in the future." The FA also intended to prevent any interference made by the Charity Commission into where money raised by the game should go. Because the central silver roundel of the Shield was inscribed with the name of the competition “Football Association Charity Shield”, a new trophy had to be commissioned for the Community Shield and the existing trophy had to be retired. The retired trophy actually had a brief life as it had only been built and used for the Charity Shields of 1999, 2000 and 2001, and had been a replacement for the earlier edition which was retired because the silver was in a perilous state through repeated cleaning by proud recipients over the decades. This version remains the property of the Football Association. The winners of the replacement edition were Arsenal in 1999, then in 2000 by Chelsea in the last Charity Shield played at the old Wembley Stadium. In 2001, and at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Liverpool were the last team to lift the “Charity Shield”, with Arsenal the first winners of the “Community Shield in 2002”. The central roundel from the Shield retired in February 2002 was removed and generously donated by the Football Association for the rebuild by Thomas Lyte and is the centerpiece of this magnificent object being offered here for auction to benefit the Bobby Moore Fund, Cancer Research UK. Greg Dyke, chairman of The FA said: “The FA was pleased to donate the centrepiece of the 2002 FA Charity Shield to Thomas Lyte to support the Bobby Moore Fund. Bobby was a Charity Shield shared-winner with West Ham in 1964 and it is an entirely fitting tribute to him that the Thomas Lyte trophy is to be auctioned to raise money for the charity set up in his name. The auction will be an important event in the calendar of activities taking place this year, to recognise the achievements of Bobby Moore and the 1966 team in winning the World Cup 50 years ago.”
