- A very original example in 'barn find' condition - 4 previous keepers and current ownership since 2004 - 101,288 recorded miles and offered with current V5C document Ford unveiled its executive-sized Granada in 1972 as a replacement for the Zephyr and Zodiac line as well as the German P7 series of cars. Good looking, solidly-built workhorses, they quickly found favour with company fleet managers and the public at large, as well as police forces and taxi companies. The MKII version of 1977 brought sharper-edged styling and a switch from UK to German-built engines for the more powerful versions. The model was available as a two-door or four-door Saloon or five-door Estate and buyers could choose from nine engine options and an array of trim packages. This 1983 MKII Saloon sports Light Blue bodywork allied to Grey cloth upholstery. A very original example in 'barn find' condition, it is fitted with the top of the range 2.8 Cologne V6 engine with rare carburation rather than fuel injection mated to automatic transmission. Showing four previous keepers on its accompanying V5C Registration Document, 'A700 VJW' has been in current ownership since 2004 and is believed to have covered 101,288 miles from new.

- 1 of 530 examples made, Nuella hide and 'whisper quiet' engine - Featured in Classic & Sports Car's Camargue 40th Anniversary Article - Reportedly 'a pleasure to drive, be in and be around' When launched in March 1975, the Camargue was the flagship of the Rolls-Royce range and the world's most expensive production car; for the price of which you could have bought five Jaguar XJ6s or 26 Minis! While sharing the platform of the Shadow and Corniche, the Camargue was the first post-war production Rolls-Royce not designed in-house, and was penned by Paolo Martin of Pininfarina. The bodies were crafted in London by Mulliner Park Ward and power was provided by a mildly uprated version of Rolls-Royce's 6.75-litre V-8 engine mated to Turbo Hydra-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission. In 1977 the steering was upgraded to Shadow II specification and in 1979 the model received the Silver Spirit rear suspension. Though a two-door model, this was a big car that stretched to nearly 17ft and weighed in at 2.3 tons. It also sported a number of innovations - it was the first Rolls-Royce designed to metric dimensions, and featured the world's first completely automatic split-level air conditioning system. Between 1975 and 1986 just 530 Rolls-Royce Camargues were produced, plus one bearing Bentley badges. This smartly-presented 1985 Camargue is finished in the stately combination of Cotswold Beige coachwork with Connolly's finest Nuella hide interior trim. Featured in Classic & Sports Car's Camargue 40th anniversary article on the model, the vendor informs us that it is 'a pleasure to drive, be in and be around', and that the interior 'is in super condition, with all instrumentation and componentry in correct working condition'. He also states 'the V8 engine is whisper-quiet and exceptionally clean - commensurate with the rest of the motorcar'. He classifies the engine, automatic transmission and interior trim as 'excellent' and the coachwork and paintwork as 'very good' and is selling 'B43 WYM' complete with 19 old MOTs from 1990 to 2015. Registering some 78,000 miles, it is also accompanied by an MoT to 26 November 2016 with no advisories.
Lot 110
- Offered from the estate of engineer and jazz musician Jim Shelley - Tuned Meadows 4.5 Litre six-cylinder engine, higher ratio back axle - Fabric covered 'Bugsback' coachwork fabricated using aero modeller techniques According to information kindly provided by The Lagonda Club's Hon Registrar Arnold Davey, chassis Z10462 began life as a 3 Litre model fitted with silent travel pillarless saloon coachwork. Sporting the London registration number 'ALR 149' and previously the property of a Mr McLoughlin, the car had been rebodied as an open tourer prior to its acquisition by the late Jim Shelley during 1971. A renowned jazz musician, engineer and model aeroplane builder whose friends included Len Vale-Onslow MBE, Dr Carl Chinn MBE and father and son Brian and Paul Morgan (the latter of Ilmor Engineering fame), Mr Shelley is the only keeper listed in an accompanying green logbook which was issued on 23rd July 1974 and erroneously lists the Lagonda as a M45 model complete with engine number 9573 (the Meadows 4.5 Litre straight-six that it retains to this day). Writing in the Winter 1990/91 issue of 'The Lagonda' magazine, Jim Shelley outlined the work that had gone into restoring his M45 (sic). A former Alvis 12/50 Beetleback and Bentley 3 Litre 'Red Label' Park Ward Tourer owner, he was determined to imbue chassis Z10462 with a more Vintage aesthetic. The resultant 'Bugback' coachwork was constructed using aeromodelling techniques whereby steamed plywood planks were screwed and glued on to an ash and ply frame. Notably light and stiff, the four-seater, single-door body was covered in stretch leathercloth by Ron Passam of Barton under Needwood who was also responsible for trimming the new seat frames with red Connolly hide. The engine which features a larger 'Cormorant' crankshaft and heavier conrods was thoroughly overhauled by Allards of Newcastle under Lyme before having its performance further enhanced via an oil cooler, tubular exhaust manifold and 9.2:1 compression ratio. As well as being treated to a new wiring loom, the Lagonda received attention to its water pump, magneto, petrol pump, SU carburettors and rear axle (uprated with a higher 3.5:1 ratio by Paul Morgan). Although reportedly competitive when entered for Vintage Sports Car Club events at Oulton Park, Silverstone and Curborough etc, the reconfigured 'ALR 149' was predominantly enjoyed as a road car and on various rallies. Entrusted to marque specialist John Ryder of Claverley for new track rod ends during August 2004, the 3 / 4.5 Litre remained in regular use up until Jim Shelley's death. Now offered for sale by his family, the 'Bugback' Tourer started readily upon inspection. The undoubted jewel in Mr Shelley's motorcar and motorcycle collection not to mention a fitting tribute to his lifelong desire to tinker and improve, this handsome Post Vintage Thoroughbred is offered for sale with green logbook, V5C Registration Document, Lagonda Club Magazine (No.147), sundry paperwork and a copy of Jim Shelley's The Magic of the Midlands and the Black Country - Strictly Vintage and 'In Tune'.
Lot 113
- Desirable 'wide body' model, 2.8 litre engine with 5 speed manual transmission - 3 previous keepers, 76,700 recorded miles and original book pack - Extensive service history and MOT'd into March 2016 'S102 BEJ' is a rare wide-bodied example of the popular Z3 sports model manufactured by BMW from 1995 to 2002. It is a 1998 build car powered by the company's silky-smooth 2.8-litre straight-six engine and drives through a five-speed manual gearbox. The car is finished in Dark Metallic Blue that's complemented by Cream-coloured leather interior trim. The vendor informs us that the electrically-operated hood is so watertight that it didn't even leak when his wife submitted it to a car wash, and that the air conditioning system is 'fully operational and effective'. He tells us that the battery and Continental tyres are 'excellent', that the space saver spare 'has never been used' and that the toolkit is 'original and complete'. He finds the engine 'smooth and powerful' and sums up by saying 'the Z goes extremely well, is a pleasure to drive, and returns 33mpg on a run'. He currently grades the bodywork, interior trim, engine and transmission as 'excellent' and the paintwork as 'very good', and is offering the three-owner 76,700-mile BMW complete with Alpine sound system and CD multi-changer, fully stamped service book, selection of invoices and an MOT valid to March 18th 2016.
Lot 116
- Believed to have spent most of its life in South Africa - Engine overhauled in 2014 - Offered with Heritage Certificate, invoices, old MOTs, etc. Introduced at the October 1955 Earl's Court Motor Show, the MKI 2.4 litre was intended to broaden Jaguar's appeal beyond the volatile luxury and sportscar sectors. Notable as the Coventry manufacturer's first monocoque design, it featured independent front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes (though, discs soon became optional). Powered by a 2483cc DOHC straight-six engine allied to either four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, the compact sports saloon boasted class-leading 100mph performance. Remaining in production until 1959, some 19,992 MKI 2.4s are thought to have left the Browns Lane factory. The right-hand drive sale car vacated Jaguar's Browns Lane plant in 1959 and is thought to have spent its early life in South Africa, finally returning to these shores in 1990. The engine and carburettors were overhauled in 2014 and the vendor now classes the bodywork as 'excellent'; the six-cylinder engine, Ivory-coloured paintwork and Burgundy leather interior trim as 'very good'; and the four-speed manual transmission as 'good'; and says 'TAS 905' 'runs and drives very well'. The car's odometer currently registers an unwarranted 32,200 miles and the Jaguar is being sold complete with a history file containing various items of paperwork and old MOTs etc.
Lot 117
- 3 previous keepers and current ownership since 1996 - 69,000 miles with documented speedo change at 51,000 miles - Offered with service history and MOT'd into May 2016 Launched in 1975, Jaguar's XJ-S was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. More of a soporific grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, it was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all round independent coil-sprung suspension and power assisted rack and pinion steering as its fixed head coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form. Finished in the desirable colour combination of Grey bodywork with Grey leather upholstery, this particular example reportedly underwent a documented speedo change at 51,000 miles and now shows 18,000 miles on the replacement instrument (giving a total of 69,000). Understood to have had three previous keepers prior to entering the current ownership in 1996, 'H2 BNC' is powered by Jaguar's renowned 5.3 litre V12 engine allied to automatic transmission and offered for sale with service history, MOT certificate valid into May 2016 and original handbooks. Good, unmolested XJ-Ss are now keenly sought and increasing in value.
Lot 118
- 1 of just 2,215 left-hand drive US models made - Offered with both hard- and soft-top roofs - Current ownership since 2003 and MOT'd into September 2016 The Spider first broke cover at the 1961 Turin Salon, though production did not commence until 1966. The pretty two-seater, then known as the 'Duetto', is said to have been the last project with which 'Pinin' Farina was personally associated. Just one year later the model was immortalised by the Dustin Hoffman film 'The Graduate'. The chassis was based on that of the Giulia 105 and initial examples were powered by a 1570cc version of Alfa's sonorous four-cylinder twin-cam unit. In 1967, the Duetto was replaced by the 1750 (1779cc) Spider Veloce. Though the new version's looks were relatively unchanged, useful upgrades were made to the suspension, brakes, electrics, wheels and tyres. 1 of just 2,215 left-hand drive 1750 Spider Veloces supplied new to the USA, this particular example has been resident in the UK since 1990. Originally fitted with Spica fuel injection, its four-cylinder engine is now fed by twin dual-choke carburettors. As a US-spec car, 'MVU 981G' has never had headlamp covers and still sports side indicator repeaters. Entering the current ownership in 2003, the Alfa is offered for sale with hard- / soft-top roofs, V5C Registration Document and MOT certificate valid until September 2016.
Lot 120
- Illustrious racing history with the VSCC, VMCC and Morgan Three-Wheeler Club - Recently emerged from an extensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration - Nicknamed 'The Atomic Orange', c.70bhp but remains road usable By 1933 Morgan's three-wheeler chassis could be ordered with four types of body, namely: Super Sports, Sports Two-Seater, Sports Family and Family. The Super Sports was notable for its chromium-plated exhaust pipes that run the length of the body. Interest in Morgans of this period has never waned and, if anything, increased in recent times - the company's inspired decision to create a modern three-wheeler having brought the early cars to the attention of a new audience. The road-going Morgan Super Sports on offer is very well known within the VSCC, VMC and Morgan Thee-Wheeler (M3W) clubs, having an illustrious racing history comprising many race and two Morgan championship victories. Generally referred to as the 'Atomic Orange' (on account of its colour and performance), Chassis D743 was apparently manufactured in 1933 yet not road registered as 'TJ 9536' until March 29th 1935. It has recently been treated to a comprehensive restoration during which the 1220cc JAP V-twin engine and three-speed manual gearbox were overhauled by a recognised specialist, the two-seater body was repainted, and a new leather interior installed. The vendor informs us that with around 70bhp on tap in what is a very light car, the Morgan 'remains highly competitive in historic racing yet is still practical with battery, lighting, self-starter and reverse gear for road use'. He says it is 'a head turner on the road and in the paddock and has featured in many magazines and shows'. He currently classes the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as 'excellent' and the engine and transmission as 'very good' and is now offering the Super Sports complete with: a copy of the Lancashire County Council registration; VSCC and M3W eligibility certificates; current V5C; and a selection of spare parts including a pair of racing wheels and tyres and a set of tuned exhaust pipes.
Lot 122
- 1 of just 751 Jubilee limited editions made to celebrate MG's 50th Anniversary - Subject to a bare metal restoration and re-trimmed seats - Offered with photographic record of the recent work and MOT'd into April 2016 The Jubilee edition of 'everybody's favourite sports car' was produced in 1975 to celebrate 50 years of the MG marque. Each car was finished in British Racing Green complemented by Gold stripes and other detailing. The unique specification extended to overdrive, B V8-style wheels and large diameter three-spoke steering wheel; fully carpeted interiors and tinted windows, and was attributed to 751 MG B GTs, one MG B Roadster, one MG B V8, and a solitary Midget. The Jubilee B GT now on offer was manufactured in May 1975 and dispatched to Oliver Rix (Garages) Ltd of Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent. They delivered it to the first owner on 12th August. In 1989 it was acquired by MG specialists Little Houghton Garage, Northants. They embarked on a restoration that was never completed and the MG then languished in the Garage until rescued by the vendor in January this year. It has since been treated to a complete bare metal restoration, during which all corrosion was removed, the wheels refurbished, new tyres fitted and the seats retrimmed. 'LEH 151P' is now offered complete with a photographic record of the recent work and MOT to April 22nd 2016.
Lot 124
- Offered with extensive history file of old MOT's and invoices - 84,000 recorded miles and MOT'd into April 2016 - Recently serviced and offered with hardtop The Stag was styled by Italian maestro Giovanni Michelotti and featured independent suspension, disc/drum brakes and power-assisted rack and pinion steering plus an all-new OHC V8 of 3-litre capacity. 'SJD 800R' was manufactured in 1977 and an accompanying list of expenditure right through to the present day confirms it has received suitably regular attention. The engine was apparently overhauled in 2003/2004 and the Triumph sports a wooden dashboard, stainless steel exhaust system and both soft- and hardtop roofs. Over £3,000 has been invested in the car during the last year alone with work including a thorough service: cylinder block / radiator flushed, fresh coolant, gearbox oil renewed and engine oil / filter changed etc not to mention the installation of an oil cooler and re-plumped seats courtesy of new foam. The Stag features gleaming Inca Yellow bodywork teamed with Black interior trim, and is currently viewed by the vendor as having 'very good-excellent' bodywork and 'very good' paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine, automatic transmission and soft- / hardtop roofs (the latter costing nearly £2,000). This handsome Stag comes complete with extensive history file of invoices and old MOTs, plus one valid to April 15th 2016.
Lot 125
- 4.5-litre V8 turbo, 450bhp and riding on new 22-inch alloy wheels - Offered with invoices totalling in excess of £9,000 - Described as 'excellent' with regard to its bodywork, paintwork and engine The Cayenne was greeted with mixed feelings at its launch in 2002. It signified a major departure for the German manufacturer and dyed in the wool 911 enthusiasts were sceptical about the move. However, time has shown it to be both a fine vehicle and the most profitable in Porsche's history. The range initially comprised two models - the Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo, both of which were powered by a new 4.5-litre V8 engine of 340bhp and 450bhp respectively. One of the latter, 'RY03 LWE' was first registered in 2003 and sports Metallic Black paintwork teamed with Black leather interior trim. Having lived in Leamington and Liverpool among other locations, the Turbo recently returned from a two-year sojourn in the Republic of Ireland. It currently rides on new 22-inch alloy wheels and tyres and is considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork and turbo V8 engine. He additionally informs us that the Cayenne has a 'very good' service history, with a large collection of invoices and receipts confirming that in excess of £9,000 has been invested with Porsche main dealers and marque specialists over the years. A lot of car for the money in today's market.
Lot 127
- Offered with original Book Pack, Service Manual and hard top - Current MOT certificate into July 2016 with no advisories - Engine, paintwork and interior rated as 'Excellent' The third generation SL (R107) was launched in 1971, initially with just a 3.5-litre engine (350SL) mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The car featured a two-door monocoque bodyshell with independent suspension and disc brakes all-round. Over its phenomenal 18-year reign, the R107 range was powered by eight different engines - two sizes of straight-six and six versions of Mercedes-Benz's silky smooth V8. The V8-powered 560SL was manufactured from 1986 to 1989 and only offered in the US, Japanese and Australian markets. With 227bhp on tap it was a genuine 130mph car, with ample reserves of effortless acceleration. The lefthand drive example on offer sports Black bodywork complemented by Mushroom-coloured interior trim. The vendor considers its bodywork, paintwork, interior, engine and automatic transmission to all be in `excellent' order and is selling the big Benz complete with import paperwork after arriving on these shores in May of this year, history file and its original owners' book pack plus service manual, and an advisory-free MOT valid into July 2016.
Lot 140
- Described as being in 'good to very good overall' condition - Said to start and drive 'very well' - Offered with handbook, workshop manual and old MOT certificates It is understood that the Super Minx launched in 1961 was initially intended to replace the Series III versions of the standard Minx, but was ultimately sold as a more up-market model alongside the so-called Audax cars. The Saloon variant reigned for seven years and through four different marks, the first three of which were powered by a 1592cc engine and the last by a 1725cc unit. Aimed at the top end of the family car market, the Super Minx was more spacious than the ordinary Minx and featured somewhat more elaborate trim. A 1962 example tested by Motor returned a top speed of 80mph and a 0-60mph time of 21.6 seconds. The MKII manual transmission Super Minx being offered is from the same year and sports White over Brown bodywork matched to Brown and Cream interior trim. The vendor regards the bodywork, interior, four-cylinder engine and four-speed gearbox as all being in 'very good' order and the two-tone paintwork as 'good'. He informs us that 'ZV 36733' 'starts and drives very well and that everything works as it should'. The Hillman is being sold complete with owners' handbook, workshop manual and a number of old test certificates.
Lot 142
- 1 of just 1,137 RHD (DC72) examples made, Getrag 'dog leg' gearbox, LSD - Recently MOT'd following prolonged storage and rated as 'a wonderful driver's car' - Would benefit from further recommissioning, Alpina badging / alloys The distinctive-looking M535i was introduced at the 1984 Paris Salon and based on BMW's mechanically identical E28-series 535i, but set apart by its M-Technic aero package. This comprised: deep front air dam; side valance; rear diffuser and spoiler; wheel arch extensions; and body-coloured bumpers. Inside there was an M-badged steering wheel and M-badged sports seats, just to remind you that you were driving something a little special. Some examples were also equipped with such desirable additions as the M-Technic chassis package (firmer Bilstein dampers, shorter springs and stiffer anti-roll bars); close-ratio Getrag gearbox with dog-leg change; and limited slip differential. Power came from the proven M30 3430cc straight-six in 218bhp/224lbft tune. When fully equipped, an M535i provided much of the fun of an M5 for a fraction of the price. 'B293 YYT' is such an example that sports Diamond Black bodywork, Grey cloth upholstery and Alpina wheels/badges. 1 of just 1,137 RHD (DC72) cars made, it was recently granted an MOT following long term dry storage, but the vendor recommends further recommissioning before further hard use. He currently grades the bodywork, engine and transmission as 'good', the paintwork as 'average-good' and the interior trim as 'poor'.
Lot 146
- The subject of past restoration work, Surrey Top - Home market car with extensive history file - Touring kit (bulbs etc) and MOT'd until May 2016 Codenamed 'Zest', the TR4 was introduced in 1961. Though, based on the chassis and drivetrain of its much-loved TR3A predecessor, the newcomer cut a far more modern dash thanks to its all-new Michelotti-styled body. Power was provided by Triumph's proven 2138cc OHV four-cylinder engine, while mechanical updates included a wider track front and rear, rack and pinion steering and all-synchromesh gearbox. The optional overdrive was now made to operate on second and third gears as well as top. The final iteration of the TR4 was the TR4A, introduced in 1965. This embodied a number of small styling changes and upgrades to the specification but, more pertinently, some 75 percent of TR4As were equipped with independent rear suspension (IRS). The right-hand drive, 'home market' TR4A on offer is one of the desirable IRS cars. Built in 1965, it is finished in Red with Black leather upholstery and a Surrey top. Self-evidently the subject of past restoration work, the Triumph rides on wire wheels and sports BRDC, BARC and Le Mans Classic emblems to its wooden dashboard. Reportedly accompanied by 'an inches thick history file and touring kit (spare bulbs etc)', 'HLW 978C' also possesses a MOT certificate valid until May 2016.
Lot 15
- Rare manual transmission example with LSD and cream leather upholstery - Air-con (needs re-gas), elec windows / mirrors / sunroof, cruise control - Recently recommissioned with an oil service and MOT'd till Nov 2016 The sleek, Paul Bracq-penned, four-seater 6 Series Coupe was introduced in 1976 as a replacement for the aging CS and CSL models. Code named E24, the newcomer borrowed heavily from the contemporary E12 and E28 5 Series Saloons and was of unitary, all steel construction. At launch, the range comprised two models - the 630 CS and 633 CSi; the bodies for which were manufactured by Karmann prior to production being taken in-house. The more powerful 635 CSi swelled the line-up in 1978. 'B511 HEW' is a 1985 example of this much loved model and is rare in sporting both manual transmission and a limited slip differential. Other items of note regarding this comprehensively-equipped car include: sports seats; electrically operated windows, mirrors and factory-fitted sunroof; central locking; cruise control; and air conditioning (which the vendor notes now requires re-gassing). The BMW is handsomely presented in the contrasting combination of Arctic Blue and a Cream leather interior. It has been recently recommissioned courtesy of an oil service and MOT and, though the vendor says it 'runs and drives superbly and is ready to use', he admits it would benefit from some further age-related attention. The mileage stands at an unwarranted 127,314.
Lot 21
- Former Porsche Cars (GB) Press Car and 58,000 recorded miles - 20 service stamps, last cambelt change @ 52,766 miles - Certificate of Authenticity, leather upholstery and MOT till April 2016 The S2 saw the light of day in 1989, by which time the normally aspirated engine had grown to 3.0-litres in capacity. A total of 4,000 Cabriolet variants were produced before the 944 model range was superseded by the 968 in 1991. This decidedly handsome example started life on Porsche's UK press fleet before being acquired by a Simon Jones of St Helier, Jersey. The comprehensive service record (20 stamps) confirms it remained on the island until at least 2006 before returning to the mainland. The Porsche is finished in the attractive combination of colour-coded Alpine White bodywork, Blue hood and Blue leather upholstery, and rides on 17-inch Turbo hollow-spoke alloy wheels. It boasts an extensive specification including: electric hood; factory tonneau; headlamp washers; electrically-operated sports seats, windows, and heated door mirrors; Porsche floor mats; central locking/immobiliser; and JVC radio/CD player. It is currently viewed by the vendor as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual gearbox, and 'good' interior trim. It is now being offered complete with warranted mileage of 58,000 (the service history confirms a cambelt change at 52,766), Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and MOT valid to April 10th 2016. A seemingly very pleasing proposition.
Lot 24
- 1 of c.356 made and among the best driving TVR models - Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds and 160mph plus - Main dealer and marque specialist service history, MOT'd till Sep 2016 TVR manufactured the Tamora between 2002 and 2006, during which time around just 356 were produced. It is widely considered to be one of the company's best driving models and, according to Autocar magazine, could achieve the benchmark sprint to 60mph in a lightening 4.2 seconds and top 170mph flat out - figures that wouldn't disgrace a supercar of today. The 350bhp and 290lbft of torque on tap were provided by a 3605cc version of TVR's in-house straight-six so called 'Speed Six' engine that was mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. Braking was by sizeable discs front and back operated by AP callipers, while the suspension comprised racing-style double wishbones at all corners. This macho-looking entry level Convertible was designed by Lee Hodgetts and Darren Hobbs and designed to fill the gap left by the departing Chimaera and Griffith models. When new, the Tamora was priced at £43,460. The very attractively-presented right-hand drive example now offered is finished in Titanio Grigio Pearl (that's Titanium Grey Pearl in non-TVR speak) matched to a Nimbus and Portland Grey interior - considered the combination of choice by many aficionados. The unmarked seven-spoked 16x7-inch alloy wheels are shod with Toyo Y-rated tyres. Other items of note among the car's impressive specification include: sports exhaust; upgraded alloy radiator; electronically-controlled doors, windows and mirrors; Black mohair hood with glass screen; adjustable steering column; Thatcham security; air conditioning; central locking; and CD player. 'LG52 CYO' currently displays a total of 48,000 miles and is considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' interior trim and 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, DOHC engine and manual transmission. The TVR is now offered for sale complete with service history courtesy of both franchise dealers and marque specialists. A relatively rare and exciting opportunity for the many enthusiasts of this much loved British marque.
Lot 25
- Finished in Aysgarth Metallic Blue and trimmed in Tan and Blue hide - Extensive maintenance history comprising 19 stamps and last serviced 400 miles ago - 420bhp 6.0-litre V12 engine, manual transmission and MOT'd into September 2016 The long awaited Vantage variant of the DB7 was unveiled at the 1999 Geneva Salon. A muscular makeover had endowed it with beefed up flanks, new sills, a larger air intake, and revised grille, lights and rear bumper. Uprated suspension and larger Brembo brakes served to keep the 420bhp 6.0-litre V12 engine in check - the newcomer could reach 60mph in 5 seconds and 184 mph. This stunning-looking example is finished in Aysgarth Metallic Blue and trimmed in Tan and Blue hide. Its impressive specification includes: manual transmission, heated electric sports seats; heated windscreen; electric windows and mirrors; sports exhaust; CD stack/upgraded stereo; Aston Martin trickle charger and engine pre-heater; comprehensive toolkit. The Aston has made several trips to Europe this year and comes complete with extensive maintenance history comprising 19 stamps. The last was added just 400 miles ago and concerned a full service that included 12 new coil packs, sparking plugs, replacement vacuum/emissions pipework etc at a cost of nearly £3,000. The vendor describes the Vantage as 'a thoroughly enjoyed example of the marque that's been thoroughly looked after', and is now offering it complete with MOT to September 14th 2016 in order to finance a classic Jaguar project.
Lot 32
- 1 of just 16 examples known to the DVLA - 2 owners from new (the first being an NSU dealer) - Recent cosmetic renovation, original livery and fresh MOT NSU's Prinz 1000 model range (the Prinz tag was dropped in 1967) was launched at the 1963 Frankfurt Motorshow. Evolved from the Prinz 4, the similarly-styled newcomer was larger and had a four-cylinder rear-mounted OHC powerplant rather than the Prinz 4's two-pot OHV one. The 40bhp of the 996cc version fitted to the 1000 and more luxuriously-equipped 1000 C was sufficient to endow the little NSU with performance on a par with the Mini-Coopers and Hillman Imp Sports of the day. The very pretty right-hand drive 1000 C now offered has had just two keepers from new. The first was the proprietor of an East Yorkshire NSU dealer, who was sufficiently smitten with the NSU to retain it for himself when the agency closed down. Then in 1992 it was acquired by a marque enthusiast who retained it until he passed away earlier this year. 'WAJ 156K' was recently treated to a (glass removed) cosmetic renovation and is now offered in its original attractive livery of River Blue bodywork teamed with Tobacco-coloured interior trim. One of just 16 such NSUs known to the DVLA, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire an unmolested example of a much admired model.

- 1 of c.500 examples made and museum displayed for many years - Credible but only unwarranted 37,000 miles - Dark Green hide, pre-selector transmission, good running order Popular among the types of DB18 were the three-seater Special Sports Drophead Coupes built by Barker between 1948 and 1952, of which some 500 were constructed. Topping the sturdy steel ladder chassis was a hand-beaten aluminium body, paired with heavy gauge steel wings. Power came from an in-line OHV six-cylinder engine of 2522cc that, courtesy of a high compression aluminium head and twin carburettors, produced 85bhp. This was mated to a four-speed Wilson pre-selector gearbox and the comprehensive specification included such mechanical niceties as automatic chassis lubrication and integral jacking. This splendid-looking example recently hailed from the Highlands of Scotland, but previously lived in Bristol and Chelmsford before spending many years in a Spanish museum; hence the credible (but unwarranted) overall mileage of 37,000. It is finished in two-tone Green and trimmed in Dark Green hide, and the vendor informs us that the engine bay is in 'show condition', the body and brightwork 'are excellent with no rust', the inside 'luxurious with soft Green seats and new carpets', and the hood 'in virtually new condition'. He believes there 'is nothing that currently needs attention', and is selling the Daimler complete with various items of paperwork and an original handbook.
Lot 35
- Number 22 from a limited production run and 1 of just 390 for the UK - Offered with original bookpack and service book containing 14 entries - Described as 'excellent' with regards to the paintwork, engine and interior Unveiled in 1993 and much-vaunted by the motoring media, the special edition Clio Williams was a nod to the relationship between Renault and the Williams F1 team to whom Renault was supplying engines, and sparked by the company's desire to homologate a 2.0-litre race engine. Evolved from the 1.8-litre Clio 16S unit, the 150bhp powerplant featured uprated valves, camshaft, exhaust manifold etc. It drove through a modified JC5 gearbox and the chassis benefited from firmer than standard suspension and a wider front track. A total of 5,400 examples were produced over two years in three generations, 390 of which were made especially for the UK market. One of the first of these iconic pocket rockets made, the sale car (No.22) has had seven owners to date and is smartly presented in the correct combination of Sports Blue paintwork and Gold-coloured eight-spoke Speedline wheels. The interior still boasts its 'W' monogrammed grey cloth seats and Blue Williams-branded floor mats. 'L580 BGV' is now offered complete with book pack containing 14 service stamps, old MOTs, load-cover with integral suit-carrier and original Hamilton & Palmer security system. MOT'd until 25th November 2016, the vendor regards the Clio as having 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual gearbox.
Lot 4
- 1 of just 2,591 factory V8's - Offered with history file containing numerous old invoices and MOTs - Benefitting from a recent service and MOT'd into October 2016 A more powerful alternative to the standard MG B came in 1973 with the introduction of the V8 - a GT-only variant powered by the ubiquitous 3528cc Rover V8 unit. Inspired by the conversions carried out by independent tuner Ken Costello, the factory cars produced 137bhp - sufficient output for a sprightly 0-60mph time of around eight seconds and top speed of 125 mph. Production of the V8 was curtailed in 1976 after some 2,591 had been built. 'SRW 237M' is a tidy-looking home market example that hails from the first year of production. It sports Red bodywork complemented by Black interior trim and was the subject of a restoration c.2004. The vendor acquired the V8 in 2012 and has since treated it to a regular programme of maintenance eg: a new fuel tank was installed in 2012; new batteries fitted in 2014; and £375.50 was invested this October on a service and mechanical repairs. The odometer currently stands at an unwarranted 141,055 and this well-equipped B is being offered complete with: overdrive gearbox; full length Webasto sunroof; woodrim steering wheel; large collection of invoices from marque specialists; and numerous old MOTs, plus one valid to October 22nd 2016.
Lot 41
- Professionally converted to later wide-bodied 'Super Sport' appearance - Previous engine overhaul (with supporting photos) - Keys, fobs, wallet, lots of receipts and engine overhaul photos etc After a lengthy gestation period, the now ubiquitous Porsche 911 entered production in 1964 and, despite Porsche's own attempts to replace the model with the 928 during the 1970s, much evolved versions of it remain in production to this day, 52 years later. The design was the work of Dr Ferry Porsche's eldest son, Ferdinand 'Butzi' Porsche and the company's joint founder and chief body engineer Erwin Komenda. By the birth of the SC derivative introduced in 1977, engine capacity had grown by 50 percent to 3.0-litres, much had been done to make the handling more benign and the interiors had become increasing civilised. Over the SC's five-year reign more and more was squeezed from the model's flat-six engine, leaving the last of the breed with a healthy 204bhp - sufficient to rush the Porsche to 60mph in 5.8 seconds and on to c.146mph. The striking Cabriolet variant was a late addition to the range and ultimately accounted for just 4,096 examples of total SC production. This handsome right-hand drive example is presented in the classic combination of Guards Red body and Black leather interior. It has been professionally converted to later whale-tailed wide-bodied 'Super Sport' appearance using Porsche-only parts. The engine benefits from a previous overhaul and is believed to be to standard specification apart from a twin-outlet sports exhaust and BMC sports air filter. It has been serviced using Castrol Magnatec engine oil and Wevo gearbox lubricant. The brake fluid has been changed and the callipers refurbished. The vendor presently classes all major aspects of '7 NPX' as 'excellent' and the Black hood is said to be 'as new'. He is now offering the Porsche complete with engine overhaul photos, lots of receipts, keys/fobs, book wallet and an MOT valid to April 16th 2016.

- Based on a 964-series Carrera 4 model with manual transmission. - Steve Wong custom chip. Engine overhauled, lightened and balanced - Keys, fobs, wallet / books, service history and numerous receipts etc This extremely purposeful-looking right-hand drive 911 is a Carrera RS Evocation based on a 964-series Carrera 4 model equipped with five-speed manual transmission. The bodywork is resplendent in classic Guards Red and the interior trimmed in Black leather/cloth. The specification is enough to set the mouth of any 911 aficionado watering and includes: KW 3-way suspension; strut brace; RS brake ducts and braided hoses, and Turbo 4-pot calliper upgrade; plus set-up by Centre of Gravity, Nuneaton. The engine was overhauled, lightened and balanced and benefits from a Steve Wong custom chip. It also features a sports exhaust and stainless steel de-cat pipe, as well as a sports filter and modified induction. The Club Sport-style interior includes reclining hard-backed/colour coded Recaro seats, red seat belts, scripted rear parcel shelf carpet, and aftermarket OMP sports steering wheel. As if the sound of the engine wasn't music enough, the Porsche also boasts a bespoke Bassmechanixs high quality sound system complete with memory stick feed. The original rear wiper, air conditioning system and engine bay heater assembly have all been deleted from the specification, but the sunroof and electric windows retained. The comprehensive early service history was carried out by franchised dealers as follows: Merlin (05/90, 2350 miles), Parkwood (05/93, 7655 miles), Rivervale (05/95, 12419 miles), AFN (09/96, 16652 miles), Evans Halshaw (07/97, 31352 miles; 10/97, 37319 miles; 03/98, 47970 miles; 08/98, 59436 miles; 04/99, 73842 miles; 09/99, 83984 miles), Stratstone of Wilmslow (10/00, 99084 miles) and Evans Halshaw (07/02, 110423 miles). 'B5 LWT' has now covered c.160,000 and the vendor presently considers the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, flat-six engine and five-speed manual gearbox to all be in 'excellent' condition, but notes that the tyres will need changing within a few thousand miles. This exciting 911 comes complete with MOT to April 14th 2016.

PLEASE NOTE: This lot has suffered a small electrical fire due to the battery terminals contacting the seat frame. There is damage to the seat and the battery has now been disconected. - Imported & UK registered in 1983 - Steering, Suspension and Engine overhauled in the 1990s - Re-painted in 2010 Microcars were born of the need for cheap short-distance transportation in the post-war years. The most successful was the Isetta, whose origins lay with the Italian firm of Iso SpA (Isetta is Italian for 'little Iso'), who went on to build some 1,000 or so. Many more were manufactured under licence in France, Belgium, Brazil, Britain and Germany, where they were manufactured by BMW, who made the model their own. Indeed, they re-engineered so much that none of the parts between a BMW Isetta and Iso Isetta are interchangeable. The 300 model was introduced in 1956, the obvious difference being the increase in capacity from 250cc to 298cc, raising output from 12bhp to 13bhp. While the torque improved, the top speed remained the same at 53mph. The sale car is a left-hand drive three-wheeled example manufactured in 1961 and imported to the UK in 1983. It was originally Red but these days sports eye-catching Yellow and Blue paintwork and is trimmed in Grey vinyl. The engine was apparently overhauled in 1996, while the suspension and steering were reconditioned in 1997, and the body repainted in 2010. A charming addition to any collection that currently displays an unwarranted 34,600 miles.
Lot 55
- 1 of just 911 Millennium Editions produced based on the Carrera 4 - 76,000 recorded miles, manual transmission and MOT'd into January 2016 - Offered with original book pack, well stamped service book and collection of invoices In celebration of the Millennium, Porsche created 911 special versions of its 996 Carrera 4 Coupe appropriately dubbed 'Millennium Edition', of which the right-hand drive sale car is a very rare example - so rare in fact that it is rumoured only three exist in the UK. Finished in the striking combination of Chromaflair Violet bodywork complemented by an interior trimmed in Tan hide and dark burr maple, the sale car on offer is No 373 and is equipped with the more desirable six speed manual gearbox. The odometer currently displays 76,400 miles. Inside can be found: SAT/NAV; electric / heated seats with lumbar support; air conditioning; sunroof; 6-stack CD; phone; cruise control; computer; and tinted glass with graduation on front screen. The sports suspension is 10mm lower than standard, the gearchange has a short-shift conversion, a stainless steel exhaust system is fitted and the bumpers have been upgraded to Turbo spec by Techart. The vendor grades the bodywork, engine and transmission as 'excellent' and the paintwork and interior trim as 'good', and is selling this unique car complete with extensive Porsche main dealer history, original book pack and service book, collection of invoices and old MOT's.
Lot 56
- 1 of just 1,202 'Big Bore' 4.5 litre cars made - Supplied new to Colonel Louis Edge in Northern Ireland - Previous long term ownership and re-trimmed interior in Beige leather Bentley's MKVI was the first vehicle ever offered by the company with factory-designed coachwork, and the first to be assembled in Rolls-Royce's Crewe factory rather than the old Derby premises. Its sizeable, X-braced chassis featured hydraulic front brakes and independent coil and wishbone front suspension. Power came from the new six-cylinder unit first seen in the short-lived MKV Saloon. Initially 4257cc but later enlarged to 4566cc (for the rarer `Big Bore' version of which just 1,202 were made), it featured an F-Type alloy head. The adjoining four-speed manual gearbox had synchromesh on all but first gear. Among the first batch of MKVIs to be fitted with the larger and more powerful 4566cc `Big Bore' engine, chassis B68MD was manufactured during July 1951. Reportedly supplied new to Colonel Louis Edge in Northern Ireland, the Bentley still sports its original number plate - 1990 KZ - but was re-registered with the English authorities on 6th March 1963 (or so its V5 registration document implies). Said to have been restored during the 1990s but to now require some TLC to its bodywork, this increasingly sought after `Big Bore' MKVI is finished in Black over Cream with a re-trimmed Beige hide interior.
Lot 64
- Sought after 130/5 model with 'Big Valve' engine and 5-speed gearbox - Extensive past body restoration including replacement chassis - Documented history, Oatmeal upholstery, 'Minilite' wheels and 'no advisories' MOT The Elan+2 could so easily have been an automotive dog's dinner and there are numerous examples from rival marques of how adding space so often destroys both pace and grace. But the ever-resourceful Ron Hickman proved more than up to the task of adding two seats to his original masterpiece. No longer did a new father have to forsake his sports car when the kids came along, he just bought an Elan +2 and installed them in the back. By the time of the final iteration, the +2S 130/5 complete with more powerful 130bhp DOHC engine and five-speed manual gearbox, he could transport them with speed as well as comfort, as that could sprint to 60mph in 7.4 seconds and top 120mph. Moreover, thanks to efficient aerodynamics, fuel consumption remained within the range of 25 to 31 mpg. Though a total of 5,200 +2s of all types were made, it is understood fewer than 1,200 remain, so it's small wonder that good examples of this beautifully styled and very practical model have become increasingly sought after over the years. 'RMS 860M' is from the penultimate year of manufacture and therefore boasts the optimum +2S 130/5 specification. It is finished in the eye-catching colour of Carnival Red and trimmed in Oatmeal-coloured cloth/vinyl. In 1991 it was treated to an extensive restoration based around a replacement chassis. Detailed attention has been given to the engine, clutch, driveshafts, brakes, suspension and wheel bearings, and the Lotus these days rides on a set of genuine knock-on Minilite wheels. The vendor currently classifies the +2 as having 'very good' engine, transmission and interior trim and 'good' bodywork and paintwork, and is selling the car complete with history file containing almost £10,000 of receipts from leading specialists, plus photos of the restoration.

- 1 of 1,537 examples made and last registered keeper for 22 years - History file dates back to 1990 @ 17,021 miles (now showing 41,200) - Maintained by Lakeside Engineering since 1996, last cambelt change 2013 The Turbo Esprit unveiled in 1980 was effectively a new car with completely fresh galvanised chassis. The engine was increased in capacity to 2174cc which, together with a Garrett T3 turbocharger, resulted in an output of 210bhp - sufficient to endow the slippery-shaped Lotus with a 0-60mph time of 5.4 seconds and top speed of over 150mph. 'C759 HMC' is one of just 1,537 such Esprits made and was looked after for its previous keeper, David Preston of Ilford, by Barry Ely Sports cars. The supercar's current registered owner acquired it in November 1993, when it was indicating 29,000 miles (the odometer now reads 41,188), for 19 years of which it has been maintained by marque specialist Lakeside engineering of Addlestone, Surrey. Notable bills include: 22/10/2004 @ an indicated 38,222 miles - new water pump and head gasket £1,903.13; 27/11/2008 @ an indicated 40,094 miles - new fuel pump £538.77; 25/6/2013 @ an indicated 40,589 miles - cambelt and auxiliary belts replaced, brake master cylinder overhauled £1,613.63; 28/10/2014 @ an indicated 40,879 miles - cam carriers overhauled, oil service and other fettling £3,298.02. The Lotus is presented in Red, features a Sand-coloured leather/cloth interior and rides on period-correct BBS alloy wheels. An apparently very genuine, well-maintained example.
Lot 78
- 1 of just 4,542 examples made and MOTs back to 1987 @ 28,973 miles - Recent extensive structural and cosmetic restoration by M.R.S. Classics - Unleaded conversion (2001), fresh clutch and MOT'd till June 2016 Intended as a flagship sports car to replace the Austin-Healey 3000, the MG C was introduced in the autumn of 1967. With some 145bhp on tap, the model could complete the 0-60mph dash in around 10 seconds and hit 120mph flat out. It was nevertheless axed just two years later, after a mere 4,544 Roadsters had been made. That relative lack of period sales success only serves to make it more collectible today. This very smartly-presented example was the subject of a recent extensive bodywork restoration by marque specialist M.R.S. Classics of Drayton Bassett, during which attention was paid to its floor, inner and outer sills, rear wings, suspension mounts and doors - the company also installed a new clutch and carpet set. The C comes complete with invoices detailing: unleaded fuel conversion (2001), reconditioned brake callipers (2003), new wire wheels (2005), and new parabolic springs, polyurethane bushes and overhauled stub axles (2009). Indicating a total of 68,213 miles and resplendent in the popular combination Red bodywork and Black interior trim, 'OJN 145F' is also accompanied by photographs of the restoration and MOTs dating back to 1987 (at an indicated mileage of 28,973), plus one valid to June 10th 2016.

- A home market car in the current family ownership for 40-plus years - Upgraded with a five-speed manual gearbox during restoration - New battery, history file (including restoration photos etc) Donald 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. It was seemingly restored as standard apart from the installation of a five-speed gearbox (the original three-speed unit comes with the car). What's particularly impressive is that '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, transmission and interior trim as 'good'. 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.
Lot 80
- 1 of just 1,465 examples built during the Pagoda's launch year - LHD, 4-speed manual gearbox, Becker radio, hardtop roof - Uprated with a 2.5 litre engine and MOT'd till July 2016 Successor to both the exotic racebred 300SL 'Gullwing' Coupe and its humbler 190SL sibling, the W113 series SL proved more comfortable than the former and faster than the latter (a point emphasised by Eugen Bohringer's 1963 Liege-Sofia-Liege rally victory). First of the line, the 230SL was introduced at the March 1963 Geneva Salon. Penned by Paul Bracq, its wonderfully crisp styling clothed a monocoque chassis equipped with all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and front disc brakes. Powered by a 2.3 litre straight-six engine mated to either four-speed manual or automatic transmission, the model was credited with 150bhp and 159lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of 124mph, it was praised by the contemporary motoring press for its performance, roadholding and refinement. Available in Californian Coupe, Convertible or Coupe Convertible guises, the last of these came with both a soft-top and the famous 'Pagoda' hardtop roof (so called because of its gently scalloped centre section). A notably early 230SL, chassis 113.042-10-000585 was built during October 1963. One of only 1,465 examples completed that year, its specification included left-hand drive, four-speed manual transmission and a soft-top roof (though, the latter has since been removed). Thought to have spent a considerable time Stateside (hence its sealed-beam headlights) and previously owned by a Portuguese lawyer, the Mercedes-Benz was imported to the UK during summer 2015. Originally Black as denoted by the early-type body / paint code plaque affixed to its A-pillar, the two-seater has been repainted a striking Blue and uprated with a more potent 2.5 litre straight-six engine over time. Riding on steel wheels, 'YCV 867A' sports a Becker Europa Kurier radio, hardtop and Black part-leather upholstery. Starting readily upon inspection, this notably early 'Pagoda' is offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document and MOT certificate valid until July 2016.
