An original ex-Metropolitan Police Daimler Dart, a rare survivor and restored to a Concours standard. An unusual departure for a firm more noted for its stately limousines, the SP250 sports car was Daimler's final fling before its acquisition by Jaguar. Aimed at the North American market and launched in 1959, the SP250 (originally entitled Dart) employed a separate ladder-type chassis on which sat controversially-styled fibreglass coachwork manufactured by Daimler themselves. Four-wheel disc brakes were an unusual feature at the time but unquestionably the car's biggest virtue was its magnificent 2.5-litre V8 engine. An outstandingly flexible unit, the smaller of Daimler's two Edward Turner designed V8s produced 140bhp, an output good enough to propel the SP250 to a top speed of 125mph. In keeping with the demands of its intended market, automatic transmission was available as an option.In the late 1950s, the Metropolitan Police had a major problem with what were called, 'Café Racers'. Groups of youths on motorbikes would gather together at a local café, put a record on the jukebox and then race their bikes along a set course, getting back to the café before the record had stopped playing. Accidents occurred and, in an attempt to put a stop to the practice, the Met’s proposal was to have a fast car that could actually catch the bikers. The existing fleet of Wolseley saloons was not up to the task, so they looked instead at sports cars, concluding that the Daimler SP250 Dart was the answer! This had a 2.5-litre lightweight V8 engine and was capable of 125mph and 0-60 in ten seconds which, for 1959, was remarkable. The Met bought 26 Darts between 1961 and 1964 and soon got them into service to be used as high-speed pursuit cars based at separate Traffic Garages situated over the London area. The results were impressive, with many speeding bikers being caught, and the number of fatal road accidents dropped. Unlike today, the idea then was that you see a Police car and thereby slow down - no stealth tactics for these boys.Borg-Warner Model 8 3-speed automatic cars destined for Police use were modified by Daimler with the fitting of a handle in the centre of the dashboard which, when pulled, locks the gearbox into second gear allowing a speed range from 0-85mph in a single gear. The gearbox normally runs in two gears only, with a ‘low’ ratio for manual selection if required and the slightly higher gearing resulted in an increased top speed compared to manual gearbox cars. The Metropolitan Police found this to be better for town work and high-speed chases, and it was also found to be more economical, avoiding the clutch wear that a manual car would develop with usage between 18 and 24 hours a day.Traffic police in Bristol, Cambridge, Liverpool, Manchester, Southend and Surrey also used the SP250 for speed enforcement, as did police forces in Australia and New Zealand. After the opening of the first section of the M1 in 1959, the Bedfordshire police used the SP250 for motorway patrol prior to the arrival of the 70mph limit in 1965.The sparkling example on offer here, 550 CLU, was registered with the Metropolitan Police on 1st June 1961 as Fleet Number 240T. It bears Engine No. 96223, Chassis No.102820 and was fitted with the optional Borg-Warner DG. Automatic gearbox, an AT Head Calibrated Speedometer and Pye Radio equipment.The Met disposed of 550 CLU on 30th August 1967, having been driven 97,325 miles in less than five years, and it was sold on to a Mr Killamsy of 2 Winter Street, London SW11 (copy record in file). It was subsequently purchased by Claude Kearley, President of the Daimler SP250 Owners Club (2007-2009) who commenced a photo-documented restoration including engine, gearbox and drive train to Concours standards. It became our vendor's property in 2016 and has been much enjoyed ever since, taking part in all sorts of events and is a multi-award winner including second place in the 2017 East Coast Run and first Place, Sledmere 2017. It’s been an NEC exhibit three years running and was to be an entrant in Zoute Concours d’Elegance prior to the COVID lockdown.When 'Oxford Diecast' chose to model a Police SP250 for their 1/43 scale range, 550 CLU was the chosen car.Supplied with the car are its V5C and previous ownership docs, a copy of the Met Historic Fleet Disposal Records, period copy photographs of actual use when in service, press cuttings, photos of surviving drivers (at 2013), MOTs, Owners’ Manual, accessories manual and more.Offered from a significant private Collection of British motor cars, this Daimler is a must for any collector/investor and needs to be viewed to fully appreciate the finish and detail that has gone into its fastidious restoration.Obviously this immaculate Dart can be enjoyed in much the same way that we all enjoy our classic cars but, in addition, it’s regularly in demand for meets and shows and would be welcome at events run by the Daimler and Lanchester Owners Club, the Daimler Dart Owners Club, the Police Vehicle Club and naturally local County Shows and Village Fetes. If that’s what you have in mind, this rare 1960s classic could keep you busy for the rest of your days.Specification Make: DAIMLER Model: SP250 Year: 1961 Chassis Number: 102820 Registration Number: 550 CLU Transmission: Auto Engine Number: 96223 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

Multiple International Concours-winner and one of the finest examples available today. When Michelotti's sharp-suited new TR4 was unveiled at the London Motor Show in 1961, the car looked thoroughly modern, especially when compared with the venerable TR3A that it replaced. However, the reality was that, under the skin, the car was still very much a TR3A as little more than the sleek bodywork was actually new. Despite this, the TR4 and the TR4A that succeeded it were amongst the fastest affordable sports cars on offer throughout the 1960s. Cheap to buy and run, the car's road manners, however, left some room for improvement over the TR3A, despite the TR4 having gained rack and pinion steering, wider front and rear tracks to make it more surefooted, and an all-synchro gearbox. However, as stylish transport, they were pretty much unbeatable. All it cried out for, to compete with the new wave of GT saloons, was more power. Lots more. The standard 2-litre GT6 engine was tried and, although smooth, was actually no quicker than the old tractor-derived four pot. In the end, the solution was remarkably simple. The straight-six was enlarged by 500cc to a lusty 2.5-litres, the cylinder-head redesigned and a more sporty camshaft fitted, all of which resulted in a much more 'manly' power unit, albeit a little 'lumpy' at low revs. Fuel-injection proved the answer to that particular problem and, in October 1967, the TR5 was launched. Outwardly, the car was barely discernible from the TR4A, but the new engine, complete with Lucas fuel-injection turned the '5' into a genuine performance car, with a handy 150bhp on tap. Realistically, the car was effectively a stop-gap and only had to last around two years until Karmann had finished its work on the replacement, the TR6, however, with the benefit of hindsight, the TR5 is arguably the best of the lot, enjoying the great unsullied looks of the TR4 but with the raunchiness of the TR6. Only 2,947 TR5s were ever built, with 1,161 of those being finished for the UK-market and, today, only around 500 are believed to remain on UK roads.Presented in striking Jasmine Yellow and optioned with overdrive, this rare 1968 UK-market car has benefitted from a money-no-object restoration to a breathtakingly high standard. For over 20 years prior to work commencing, Simon Eaton and his engineer father, already prolific Triumph collectors, set out on a treasure hunt to source all available new/old stock and boxed 'Stanpart' components. Their brief was simple - to build the very best example possible. Well-known Triumph restorer, Michael Papworth, was to provide the Eatons with the ideal basis for their project, reluctantly parting with his stalled TR5 restoration project - a desirable home-soil example with just one former custodian from new. Over subsequent years, the car was stripped and progress was made. A brand new chassis by CTM was commissioned as the starting platform, but utilized N/OS turrets and steering column brackets and absolutely nothing reconditioned was fitted. The inner bodyshell and Stanpart panelwork were prepared and finished by respected restorer, Mark Johnson of Jules Bodycraft. Simon's father was tasked with the meticulous job of rebuilding the car's fuel-injected 'six' to its original factory specification, including balancing the crankshaft. The stated 150bhp is transmitted through a fully rebuilt gearbox with overdrive featuring all Stanpart internals and a new/old stock Laycock three-piece clutch. Upholsterer to HRH Queen Elizabeth II, Gary Wright of Milton Keynes was chosen as the ideal candidate to retrim the car's interior (all to original specification) and provide weather protection in the form of a perfectly fitting mohair hood. Finished off by a set of polished chrome wire wheels, this spectacular TR5 is one of the best we have ever seen.Upon completion, the car received much critical acclaim and has won a plethora of high-profile Concours d'Elegance events contested by Triumph owners from all over Europe including:2000 Meguiars / TR Register International - Best Standard TR5 - 2502004 Meguiars / TR Register International - Masters Class Winner2007 Meguiars / TR Register International - Best Paintwork2010 Meguiars / TR Register International - Best Standard TR4-5The TR was purchased by our vendor a few years ago, and he has continued to cherish and maintain it, including fitting the lovely elm dashboard, a new and correct fuel tank, a reconditioned diff, Waxoyled the underside and the bodywork has been polished and ceramic coated. It's also had an electronic fuel injection and ignition system fitted, however the original mechanical unit is carefully boxed and comes with the car as does the original steering wheel and boss.As you might expect from such fastidious owners, the car is supplied with a substantial quantity of paperwork, photographs which completely document the mammoth restoration and many of the aforementioned awards. Truly a 'Best of Breed' example that couldn't be replicated for double today's guide figure, we invite and encourage your viewing of this rare and desirable TR to confirm the sheer quality on offer.Specification Make: TRIUMPH Model: TR5 Year: 1969 Chassis Number: CP26690 Registration Number: HBH 10G Transmission: Manual Engine Number: CP910 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 2241 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

The 300 marked a post-war return to Mercedes-Benz tradition of building high-performance, luxury automobiles of the highest quality. Daimler-Benz AG emerged from the smoking rubble of World War II in somewhat precarious health, with production plants that had been pretty comprehensively levelled by Allied bombing. Far from being a broken nation, the resilience of the workforce was remarkable, and Mercedes-Benz resumed car production in 1946, albeit with the pre-war 170V, a modest middle-class car that had been their best-seller in the 1930s. However, in less than six years, the company was sufficiently confident to return to the luxury market when the Mercedes 300 was introduced at the 1951 Frankfurt Motor Show, and for the duration of the 1950s, Mercedes-Benz prestige line-up was based on the 300 range, at the heart of which was essentially the same superb 2,996cc overhead-camshaft six-cylinder engine found in the legendary 300SL 'Gullwing'. The 300 Saloon was aimed squarely at Captains of Industry and Heads of State - indeed, the model was nicknamed 'Adenauer' after Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. In office from 1949 to 1963, he employed six custom convertible, hardtop, and landaulet versions during his tenure. Inside, the 300 was beautifully executed in polished wood, with deep bucket seats trimmed in either cloth or leather, and a division was available as an option for those who preferred to be chauffeur driven. Improvements came with the 300B of 1954 in the form of twin Solex carburettors, along with servo-assisted brakes and minor styling changes, while the 300C model of September 1955 saw the option of a Borg-Warner 3-speed automatic for the American market. Introduced in August 1957, the 300D was the linear successor to the 300C, with a longer wheelbase, fuel injection, and unique hardtop configuration transforming it into a pillarless 'Phaeton'. An additional 4" of wheelbase provided greater rear legroom, equalling that of the long wheelbase Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Removable rear quarter-lights allowed an unobstructed view in and out from the front vent window all the way to the back, much valued in the model's popular role as a 'parade car'. Employing a slightly detuned version of the 300 SL sports cars Bosch fuel-injected engine, the 300D produced 180bhp at 5,500rpm. Automatic transmission was standard and power brakes, power steering, and Artic-Kar air-conditioning were added as options.Offered here is a truly magnificent 1959 Mercedes-Benz (W189) 300D, delivered new in right-hand drive to Australia. Presented in Schwartz/black paintwork with a remarkably well-preserved luxurious Crimson leather interior. This particular 'Adenauer' has benefitted from the warm, dry Australian climate. It's fitted with a matching numbers, fuel-injected, 3-litre straight-six producing around 180bhp coupled to a 3-speed automatic transmission. Having formed part of a small private Collection in recent years, the 300D's bodywork has benefitted from some cosmetic attention with the underside also in good order as might be expected from a vehicle from a dry country. Internally, the original leather upholstery remains, and the wooden door caps, veneers, Bakelite and chrome all present with patina commensurate with the car's age. It's accompanied by a detailed history file including the original Owners Manuals, service book and the original toolkit.This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly remarkable 300D 'Adenauer'. Its commanding presence and stately manner are irresistible to both occupants and bystanders alike, and it's rather unlikely that you will park next to another one.Specification Make: MERCEDES Model: 300D ADENAUER Year: 1959 Chassis Number: R1890108501131 Registration Number: 641 XVT Transmission: Automatic Engine Number: R189980-8500909 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 14373 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Red HideClick here for more details and images

Only 2,500 miles since a substantial restoration, this elegant 120 Coupé remains in fabulous condition. A car-starved Britain, still trundling around in perpendicular pre-war hangover vehicles, glimpsed the future in October 1948 with the launch of the Jaguar XK120 at the Earls Court Motor Show. Production commenced in 1949 in Coventry, and the XK's swoopy shape and stylish occupants would become a common sight on British roads over the next 15 years. It heralded the arrival of Jaguar's famous 3.4-litre twin overhead camshaft XK engine, (the basis of all their engines for the next 25 years) with an alloy cylinder head and twin side-draught SU carburettors producing nearly 160bhp. The 120 referred to the car's top speed which, at the time, made it the fastest production car in the world. Jaguar seems to have always had a flair for marketing and to illustrate that the car's top speed was not a figment of a publicist's imagination as in May 1949, on the Jabbeke to Aeltre autoroute, an XK120 with its hood and side screens in place recorded a speed of 126mph, and no less than 132mph with the hood and windscreen detached and an undertray fitted. The car was in almost instant demand and went on to spawn the famous XK lineage of fast and elegant sports cars.This splendid XK120 was delivered new to Hoffman, New York on 4th September 1951. It turned heads in the US for many years before returning to the UK in July 2004 looking very tired and in need of restoration. Renowned Jaguar restorers, Beacon Garage in Doncaster, inherited that particular task and a comprehensive last nut and bolt rebuild was completed in 2012. The car was converted to right-hand drive, fitted with a C-Type cylinder head, upgraded leather bucket seats and chrome wire wheels - there are receipts on file totalling £80,000 from this period and viewing of the extensive file is highly recommend. Inspected by the Jaguar Drivers Club at the time who confirmed it was faultless, other than some light pitting of the chrome on one rear light. They valued it at £125,000 at that time.XDN 36 was purchased by our vendor, a serious motoring connoisseur, in December 2018 and, in his care, the XK has been well-maintained and lightly but regularly used. It's been enjoyed on various Bowcliffe Drivers Club events and placed second in one of their Concours d'Elegance events. It has covered less than 2,500 miles since the restoration with the only major expense being a set of new Pirelli Cinturatos. On our recent inspection, the car remains near faultless, it really does present well, with a small nick on the drivers bucket seat bolster the only obvious fault.Ready to be enjoyed, be that out on the open road or gracing the club circuit, with all that has to offer, this impressive XK120 warrants your early inspection to fully appreciate this rare and desirable drivers Jaguar.Specification Make: JAGUAR Model: XK120 COUPÉ Year: 1951 Chassis Number: 679082 Registration Number: XDN 36 Transmission: Manual 4 speed Engine Number: G 2681-8 Odometer Reading: 2134 Miles Make: Interior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

Superbly restored, a very well-presented example of one of Chapman’s earliest designs. The Elite Type 14 was Colin Chapman’s first production sports car that he designed for Lotus Cars, debuting in 1957. Lotus' design philosophy ran contrary to the prevailing norm, making their cars lighter, more aerodynamic and therefore more nimble, rather than increasing horsepower and weight enabling Lotus cars to outmanoeuvre much more powerful vehicles on track. It was very light, weighing just 630kg utilising a monocoque construction which meant there was no separate chassis, the body was load-bearing, and whilst this was becoming accepted practice, the Elite was the first time it had been constructed in glass-fibre. There were only two strips of steel in the car — a strip for the door hinges to attach to and a very small steel frame to which the engine and suspension were attached. When combined with independent sporty suspension, a ZF gearbox, disc brakes, a Coventry Climax all-aluminium engine and a very low drag coefficient of just 0.29, it made for a great drivers car, so much so that by production end in 1963 over 1,000 had been produced. The Elite was very expensive to produce - especially the GRP monocoque which was extremely labour-intensive (the first 280 were built by Maximar then production switched to Bristol Aircraft who built a further 760+ cars). It is estimated that Colin Chapman lost c.£100 on each Elite, so there was a backwards switch to a separate steel backbone chassis for the successor Elan, making it much cheaper to build.Offered here is very special Elite SE, presented in the wonderful period-correct Primrose Yellow with a silver metallic roof, matching Jim Clark’s road car. It's the higher performance, 85bhp factory variant (SE) which initially came fitted with twin SU carburettors, a fabricated exhaust system, the ZF Gearbox and Lucas PL700 headlamps.Purchased new in 1962 by Viscount Gough, it was subject to a complete 'last nut and bolt' restoration by the previous owner, who was meticulous in his attention to detail. In 2005, the bodywork was stripped back to the gel coat, all traces of repairs, stress cracks, and damage were removed and repaired using glass fibre only. The entire car was then re-spayed by Proline Paint, GRP specialists, costing in excess of £8,000, and all the lights were replaced with new-old-stock Lucas items. The interior is finished in black with grey carpet, the seats having been re-trimmed by a local ex-Aston Martin trimmer in black leather and the correct Irvin black seat belts were retained as was the original instrumentation, wood-rim steering wheel and its original Snail Brand tool kit and jack.Mechanically, the engine has been fully re-built up to FWB specification with a capacity of 1,460cc, using new components supplied by the premier Coventry Climax Engines specialist. These include a new-old-stock Coventry Climax crankshaft; Carrillo con-rods; new pistons; alloy five-bearing cam carrier; high-lift camshaft; new water and oil pumps; high-torque starter motor; re-cored radiator; thermostatically controlled Kenlowe electric cooling fan; new cast inlet manifold; and refurbished Weber DCOE 18 carburettors. In addition, the cylinder head has been fully ported, gas-flowed and rebuilt with larger inlet and exhaust valves. Having been fully balanced, it's not subject to the usual vibrations and shudders of an Elite. The engine will now safely rev to 7,000rpm plus, and should develop 120-125bhp.Standard fitment was a 4-speed MG gearbox with the highly sought after ZF all-synchro box offered, as an option on S2 models, but was part of the SE package. One of the drawbacks of the MG transmission was that it was low geared (standard rear axle ratio of 4.22:1 plus a direct fourth gear) meaning that the engine ran at quite high revs when cruising. This led to the development of a 5-speed Type-9 conversion – greatly improving driveability with its 'overdrive' fifth gear. This is all achieved without any modifications to the monocoque - so is completely reversible and vastly improves the driving experience. '905 FWB' is fitted with a Type 9 5-speed gearbox complete with a new clutch cover and drive plate. New bearings and universal joints were fitted throughout, and the 4.22:1 differential fully rebuilt, while the new 60-spoke wire wheels were fitted with period-correct Pirelli Cinturato tyres.In 2014, the suspension was replaced in its entirety by Tolman Motorsport. The original rear wishbones utilised a 'rubber ball' type location at the inboard end which can wear prematurely leading to instability caused by unwanted changes in toe angle. This Elite had the rear wishbones converted to rose joints in place of the 'ball & socket' arrangement, along with the Tolman Motorsport adjustable suspension set-up.Despite being MOT exempt, our vendor put the car through a voluntary MOT which it passed with no advisories, valid until 8th October 2024.Built in very small numbers (circa 1,040), and presenting in fabulous condition, this very well-sorted Elite is a delightful example. Having seen a full restoration with intelligent upgrades, this is certainly a car that Chapman would be proud to bear his name.Specification Make: LOTUS Model: ELITE SE Year: 1962 Chassis Number: EB2181718 Registration Number: 905 FWB Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 11977 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 64742 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Already an established rally car, this impressive 240Z was extensively refreshed in 2020 and has since proven competitive and reliable in a number of European rallies during the last two years. The Datsun 240Z, (latterly the 260Z and 280Z) was the first generation of 'Z' two-seat coupés, produced by Nissan in Japan from 1969 to 1978. Its dramatic looks owed a considerable amount to a 1960s styling concept drawn by Count Albrecht Goertz for Datsun, presumably at a time when they were considering ways to break into the European sports car market. The 240Z was powered by a lusty 2.4-litre, straight-six overhead cam engine developing around 150bhp, resulting in a 0-60 time of eight seconds and a top speed of 125mph. A 5-speed manual gearbox was standard, and the car featured independent suspension all round, with MacPherson struts at the front and Chapman links at the rear. Rack and pinion power steering and front disc brakes meant that the 240Z was a thoroughly modern package. In the 1970s, these cars were hot property everywhere, and given that the car's drivetrain was heavily based on the 510 saloons used widely in motorsport, it was only a matter of time before the 240Z was campaigned on circuits and in forests on both sides of the Atlantic. Incredibly, some 50 years later, they can still be found in historic racing and are particularly popular in rallying circles, remaining competitive in club and historic events.Offered here is a very well-sorted Datsun 240Z rally car that has proved to be very reliable for our vendor on numerous rally events organised by Rally the Globe. The events included the Carrera Italia, Carrera Espania, Carrera Rivera, Highland Thistle and the West Country Cloverleaf where it performed effortlessly and with total reliability. Purchased by him in 2019, it was already an established rally car and had been fitted with a 2.8-litre engine, 5-speed gearbox, Quaife differential, a full roll-cage, and Minilite alloys, however our vendor commenced a recommission with reliability a very important factor.Various invoices in the history file show the purchase of parts from the 'Z Farm' delivered to Classic Rally Services of Suffolk to start the preparation process. At the beginning of 2020, approximately £6,000 was spent which included a new differential, rear-axle rebuild, Brantz timers and clocks, new seats, extinguisher and belts. The front cross-member was strengthened together with the front wishbones and the clutch, all brake pipes and the fuel pump were replaced. Original 240Z carburettors were sourced and fitted and the dynamometer report from August 2020 shows a very healthy 199bhp at the rear wheels.Very well-presented and impressively detailed, this dual purpose, fast road/rally Japanese classic has proved very competitive in Rally the Globe 'Class B3-Late Classic' and, perhaps more importantly, has been very reliable. It’s always better to return home under your own steam rather than on the back of a flatbed. This is a super example of a topical 1970s rally car, suitable for European Historic and Classic rallies, regularity runs or just club events here at home, and we welcome any inspection.Specification Make: DATSUN Model: 240Z Year: 1972 Chassis Number: HS3001622 Registration Number: JPK 4K Transmission: Manual Engine Number: L24061608 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 40970 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

One of the very last Phase One Clio Williams with only 48,770 miles, low-ownership and an impressive service history. Presented here is exactly the Renault Clio Williams that any enthusiast or collector would want to seriously think about owning. When the first owner had it in his garage for over 25 years and his address begins with 'The Vicarage', you know you are onto something. Supplied to him new by Renault Dealer, Bridge Valley Motors of Dorchester, in January 1994, it has a comprehensive service history and every MOT to corroborate the mileage of only 48,770. It still sports its original Renault dealer number plates, original Renault Owners Card, original stereo, handbooks, Williams F1 brochure and original parcel shelf carrying case.It was serviced by the Renault Dealer, Bridge Motors, all the way through to 2000 and then by Frodsham Motors, the Renault Dealer in Bridport. From 2007 C&A Rawlings, a family business, serviced it until 2018 and it was then sold to its second owner in 2019. Throughout this time, in addition to normal servicing, the wheel bearings, discs and belts have been changed (Cam Belt 2014 – 43,563 miles).In 2019, and with a mileage of 47,452, Safwat Cars serviced the Clio and replaced various seals and repaired the radio. ASM Classics of Sevenoaks in 2020 replaced the clutch and shock absorbers and conducted a full service. It had an exhaust in 2021, another service in 2022 and additional work right up to March 2023.With such a prefect timeline, just two previous owners, a full MOT pack and service history from day one, and all the essential original features, this cossetted little Clio is very much of the right stuff for its next discerning owner.Specification Make: RENAULT Model: CLIO WILLIAMS Year: 1994 Chassis Number: VF1C57M0510863291 Registration Number: L531 BRU Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 00C5616 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 48770 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

One of just 78 examples of the Rouse Sport 304R featuring a bespoke Sport Package developed by Andy Rouse Engineering. Just 78 Rouse Sport 304Rs were produced, with only a small percentage of those thought to still exist today, making it a rare and increasingly desirable member of the Performance Ford family. The Sports Package was developed by Andy Rouse in conjunction with Ford Motor Company to provide further depth to the Ford Cosworth range, and consisted of the body kit/aero pack with a body coloured 'C' pillar, a smaller Garrett T25 Turbo and remapped ECU providing a further 40bhp, plus slightly larger tyres and an upgraded interior including Rouse seats and door cards with optional mahogany accents. At an additional cost of £4,500 plus VAT, this was not a cheap option at the time, probably dictating why so few were produced.First registered on 18th December 1990, this exceptional one-owner Sapphire Cosworth Rouse Sport 304R, No. 045/100, is thought to be one of the rarest Cosworths to still exist. Finished in its original shade of Moonstone Blue with Raven hide, it was supplied by Peacocks of Balham to the current owner. With a comprehensive restoration having been carried out by Chariots of East Sussex between 2009 and 2013, including a full engine rebuild by Julian Godfrey, the Cosworth Specialist, and with minimal use since, the overall condition remains outstanding with our fastidious vendor recently returning the vehicle to Chariots for a full health check prior to being offered for sale. It should also be noted that the registration number TIA 428 was assigned at date of first registration and will remain with the vehicle when title passes to a new custodian. It's accompanied by a comprehensive history file containing the original purchase invoice, original book pack and various other invoices.This largely ignored Cosworth model has recently come back to the attention of Ford aficionados with interest reignited and desirability increasing at a pace. With so few still in existence, and even less in this condition, this particular 304R is certainly worthy of a place in any serious Blue Oval collection. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer.Specification Make: FORD Model: SIERRA SAPPHIRE COSWORTH 4X4 Year: 1990 Chassis Number: WFOFXXGBBFJL21274 Registration Number: TIA 428 Transmission: Manual Engine Number: LJ21274 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 79660 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Raven HideClick here for more details and images

A rare, second-generation, soft top example of Mazda's powerful RX-7 Turbo, freshly recommissioned and looking good - offered at No Reserve. Following the demise of NSU's Ro80, Mazda was left as the only major automobile manufacturer using the Wankel rotary engine. An entire range of rotary-engined models was developed during the 1970s, but by the decade's end, the RX-7 sports car was the only one of its type selling in significant numbers outside Japan. Powered by a twin-rotor Wankel of, nominally, 2.3-litres displacement, the pretty RX-7 coupé had debuted in 1978. Maximum power increased from 105 to 115bhp from 1981 - good enough for a top speed of 125mph, an excellent straight-line performance that the RX-7 combined with handling and grip on a par with European rivals. Restyled for 1986, the second generation car was fitted with a new, more powerful engine and improved rear suspension at the same time. A turbocharged variant was introduced in 1988, becoming available in convertible form the following year, and with 200bhp available was capable of a, claimed, 148mph with the top up.This second generation RX7 Turbo Cabriolet was supplied new by Charles Follett Ltd. in London on 15th May 1992 and is accompanied by a list of older owners up until it was acquired by its previous owner in November 2004 and subsequently our vendor in September 2019. There is a massive invoice file detailing work on the car from 1996 right up to date. (See Summary on file) and the service records indicate regular main dealer servicing up until 2001. Thereafter, work was covered by Rotary Engine Specialists with comprehensive invoices on file including the engine change in January 2005 by Hurley Engineering, a year before it was laid up.More recently, the car was fully recommissioned with all fluids changed and thoroughly examined. Numerous works were carried out which included a thorough overhaul of the fuel system, replacing fuel lines, cleaning injectors, etc., brake lines replaced, callipers refurbished and new OEM Mazda brake discs fitted with new pads, the wheels were refurbished and fitted with new tyres, the hood mechanism was cleaned, lubricated and refitted with a new rear roof section fitted, obtained from America, and underneath some rust was found behind the sills and the interior was stripped for a full repair with rust proofing.The paintwork is generally very good, and overall the car is therefore described by its enthusiast owner to be in excellent condition, having passed it’s MOT with no advisories. The Rotary engine was replaced about 12,000 miles ago and is very sweet. The engine bay is very clean with plated items, etc in excellent condition. It retains the battery cover, often missing. In the boot, the carpet is excellent with the correct tonneau cover, tool roll, wheel chocks and jack. Also present is the original black book pack containing the handbook, service booklet and instructions for the radio cassette. It even has the period Mazda sales brochure and a further service and Owners Manual on CD-Rom. It comes with two correct Mazda keys.A now rare Collectors' item, it is unusual to find one in this condition - an opportunity not to be missed.Specification Make: MAZDA Model: RX-7 TURBO Year: 1992 Chassis Number: JMZFC183200202499 Registration Number: J429 DYK Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 13BE078671 Make: Click here for more details and images

One of only 80 right-hand drive examples of these contemporary classic Jaguars with just 488 miles from new. In 2012, nearly 40 years after the E-Type's demise, Jaguar finally got around to announcing the long-awaited and much-rumoured F-Type, which would turn out to be a more worthy spiritual successor to its illustrious forbearer than either the preceding XK8 or, before that, the XJS. A front-engined, rear-wheel-drive two-seater, the F-Type is built on an aluminium chassis, cleverly configured to minimise the transmission of noise and vibration to the passenger compartment, while its suspension is the supercar-standard arrangement of double wishbones all round, with adaptive dampers and adjustable settings. Multiple driving modes cater for different road conditions and driving styles.Unlike the E-Type, the F-Type was available with a wide variety of different power plants, ranging from a turbocharged 2-litre four via a 3-litre turbo V6 to a supercharged 5.0-litre V8. A ZF 8-speed paddle-shift semi-automatic transmission was standard on all models at first, with a 6-speed manual available later on the V6. The F-Type debuted at the Paris Motor Sow in September 2012 in convertible form, with the fixed-head coupé following in 2014. Nowadays it is de rigeur for car stylists to reference past models in their latest creations, and to some observers, the coupé's rear recalled that of one of the rarest of E-Types: the low-drag factory racer.To cater for the sports car market's seemingly insatiable appetite for limited edition models, Jaguar launched the 400 Sport – produced for just one year – and Project 7, which would be built in a run of only 250 cars. Project 7 had first seen the light of day as a single-seater concept car shown at Goodwood, and so favourable was the reception that it was decided to press ahead with making a more practical two-seater production version. They soon sold out, with 80 assigned to customers in the UK. The 'Project 7' designation referenced Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins, while the 'Aero Haunch' behind the driver's head was an obvious nod towards the D-Type sports-racer responsible for three of those victories.An aggressive-looking shallow-screen 'barchetta', Project 7 has all-aluminium bodywork and is powered by the 5-litre supercharged V8, up-rated to produce 567bhp, 25bhp more than in the F-Type R. Coupled with a 45kg weight reduction, this makes Project 7 the fastest accelerating F-Type yet, with a 0-60mph (0-97km/h) time of 3.8 seconds. Like many of the current crop of supercars, Project 7 is electronically limited to a top speed of 186mph (300kph). With the exhaust butterflies open (there's a special console switch), the car emits a superb growl-bark that turns into a magnificent crackle on the overrun. It's the one thing that makes you want to slow down.The 'top-end running gear' includes the 8-speed paddle-shift auto 'box; electronic differential; carbon ceramic brakes; specially tuned suspension; and unique settings for engine management and chassis stability control. SVO engineers also rebalanced and improved the car's rear-biased aerodynamic downforce by fitting side skirts and a large front splitter, while slightly reducing the effectiveness (and drag) of the boot lid wing. The result of Project 7's unique set of characteristics is a track-focused car capable of satisfying even the quickest of drivers.Supplied new by Stratstone of Mayfair, the fabulous Project 7 on offer here was first registered on 1st March 2016 as PRO7 JUR and is finished in the rather striking, special order hue of Metallic Goodwood Blue with a triple white stripe across the nose. It sits on a set 20" Storm Black Diamond Turned Alloys in front of bright yellow calipers and the paintwork has been treated to full PPF. The car was optioned from new with Project 7 Illuminated Tread Plates and was supplied with a bespoke car cover, two keys and an immobiliser which is currently not connected. It's fitted with the 'Jaguar Project 7 - 1 of 250' plaque and is accompanied by the rather lavish Dealer Book Pack containing its Certificate of Authenticity.Our vendor is currently the car's second owner, it has covered just 488 miles and, as you can imagine, its condition is simply spectacular.

Upgraded by Bowler, bespoke styling and just 6,000 miles from new. Since its inception in 1985, Bowler Motors has developed a worldwide reputation in the area of design and construction of Land Rover-based off-road vehicles. Led by the company’s inspirational founder, Drew Bowler, until his untimely death in 2016, the company grew from a nascent workforce of just eight to the present group of 35 highly-skilled engineers. Initially focussing on the preparation of cars for British off-road events, the company's ambitions expanded rapidly to encompass participation in events including the Dakar Rally, Morocco Desert Challenge and Spanish Baja and, for the past two decades, their cars have formed the backbone of many Rally Raid events across the globe.In late 2019, Jaguar Land Rover acquired Bowler to add to their Special Vehicle Operations Division, seeing an opportunity for not just motorsport but the subtle enhancement of their current range, having admired the rapid, road-going examples given the Bowler treatment over the years. A fabulous example of such enhancements is this Firenze Red Defender 90 with black canvas soft-top and first registered on 28th July 2014. With less than 6,000 miles travelled, it has had brand new Recaro-style Black Leather Sports seats with matching facia, dashboard and cubby box with a Momo steering wheel also fitted.Recently fitted with all new 265 BF-Goodrich All Terrain tyres, a Bowler bespoke steering guard, rock sliders, gear levers, LED headlights, DRL bumper, safari snorkel, rear bulkhead deletion, genuine load area rubber mat, LED rear lights, NAS tow step, large diameter stainless steel sports exhaust, re-mapped ECU. As an XS it came with factory-fitted air conditioning, electric windows and central locking.Presented to auction with all its book packs, service book, reams of receipts and a very special pedigree.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: DEFENDER SOFT TOP Year: 2014 Chassis Number: SALLDWNP7EA455956 Registration Number: FT14 AAU Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 140615083127DT224 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 6000 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

One of only 295 right-hand drive examples, with its first owner for 32 years and just less than 33,000 miles from new. The Audi Quattro may not have been the first four-wheel drive production car (that honour belongs to the 1966 Jensen Interceptor FF), but its place in history is assured. Thanks in no small part to its enormous rallying success, the Quattro popularized all-wheel drive, and is now regarded as one of the most influential and important sports cars of the 1980s. The brainchild of Jorg Bensinger, an Audi chassis engineer, development work was started in 1977, and three years later, the finished product was released. Although the floor pan had much in common with the Audi 80 and the running gear was largely taken from an Audi 200, the Quattro used a manual centre differential lock (operated by levers next to the handbrake) to govern the 197bhp and 210lb/ft power outputs delivered by the 2.1-litre in-line five-cylinder turbocharged engine. By the time this particular car arrived in 1990, the crude cable-operated 50:50 split differential had been replaced with a much more advanced Torsen (torque sensing) diff, and the engine had been uprated with double overhead camshafts and a larger 2,226cc capacity, upping power to 217bhp.Finished in Panther Black Metallic with a Granite leather/cloth interior, this smart example was first registered by VAG Milton Keynes as their demonstrator, prior to being purchased in November 1990 by its first owner, who kept the vehicle for almost 32 years until becoming our vendor's property in June 2022. It has only covered 32,837 miles from new, with just two former registered keepers, and has patently been cherished, garaged all its life and is in remarkable condition.It has a fully stamped service record, with 17 service stamps which includes details of a fresh cambelt at 31,353 miles by The Quattro Workshop in Leicester, and is accompanied by a detailed history file with service receipts and MOT history, the original wallet with manuals etc., original sales brochure, the spare key and original key code tag. It will be treated to a fresh MOT and full service prior to our sale.This is a genuine, low-mileage, 20-valve Quattro in very good condition with a superb history and would enhance any collection and be a great talking point at local shows and events. Viewing at The NEC Classic Motor Show Sale is highly recommended.

A lovely left-hand drive example, restored to a very high standard at a cost of over £50,000. A progressive development of the sensational XK120 and XK140, the XK150 retained the same basic chassis, 3.4-litre engine and 4-speed Moss transmission of its predecessors but, partly due to the growing US demand for more comfortable and refined sports cars, benefited from an entirely new body providing increased interior space and improved visibility courtesy of a single-piece wrap-around windscreen. A higher front wing line and broader radiator grille were other obvious differences but the new model's main talking point was its Dunlop disc brakes; at last the XK had stopping power to match its prodigious straight-line speed. Introduced in the spring of 1957, the XK150 was available at first only in fixed and drophead coupé forms, the open roadster (OTS) version not appearing until the following year.According to its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, this well-presented left-hand drive XK150 3.4 Roadster was despatched to Jaguar Cars, New York on 30th May 1958 and onwards to its first US owner. In more recent times, the XK150 was repatriated to the these shores where a comprehensive restoration was undertaken.The work was obviously extensive, with over £50,000 invested, and the results speak for themselves. The bodywork was taken down to bare metal and classically refinished in Old English White, all the brightwork was re-chromed and polished, the interior was retrimmed in navy blue leather to a very high standard, new chrome wire wheels were fitted, the matching numbers engine was rebuilt and, naturally, every other mechanical aspect of the venerable Jaguar received similar care and attention.Accompanying the car is a history file containing a quantity of invoices, the aforementioned Heritage Certificate and photographs of the work carried out, all available for your inspection at our Documents Desk when you view the car, which we invite and encourage in order to appreciate the quality on offer.Specification Make: JAGUAR Model: XK150 ROADSTER Year: 1958 Chassis Number: S830464 Registration Number: 928 UYY Transmission: Manual Engine Number: V3917-8 Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Make: LHD Interior Colour: Navy BlueClick here for more details and images

Restored by specialists Arthur Archer and one of only 50 of these exquisite sports saloons, this short-wheelbase 4-Litre has been owned by some of the very best collectors, a true connoisseur's car. The Bentley 4-Litre was the old Cricklewood company's swansong model before its absorption by Rolls-Royce. With the Depression biting, sales of the old 4½-Litre were declining and, with its newest 8-Litre model costing all of £1,850 in chassis-only form, Bentley Motors desperately needed a new smaller model to compete with Rolls-Royce's successful 20/25hp. The result was the 4-Litre. The six-cylinder engine was designed by Ricardo, with overhead inlet/side exhaust valves and a claimed output of 120bhp at 4,000rpm. A double-drop chassis was adopted, closely based on that of the contemporary Bentley 8-Litre, and offered in two wheelbase lengths - 11' 2" and 11' 8", both of which were shorter than the shortest of the two 8-Litre chassis available. Although 'W.O.' apparently did not like the Ricardo design (considering it difficult to tune) the fundamental soundness of the inlet-over-exhaust arrangement was aptly demonstrated post-war, with engines of this configuration powering Bentley and Rolls-Royce motor cars up to 1959. The 4-Litre was not fully understood in-period and much maligned yet, with the benefit of hindsight, it had the best chassis, gearbox and rear axle of all the pre-war Bentleys, proving ideal to be converted into 6½- and 8-Litre specials in later years. Only 50 '4-Litres' were completed before the original Bentley company's liquidation, with only a dozen believed to exist today.This rather handsome 4-Litre Sports Saloon (Chassis #VF 4011) dates from 1931, and was purchased by our vendor from North Wales in 2019. It was described at the time of his purchase as 'The car is matching numbers with the original engine, steering box etc. and the restoration included an extensive mechanical overhaul of the engine, chassis and all running gear as well as totally rebuilding an original, very handsome, Gurney Nutting body with twin side-mounted spare wheels, louvred bonnet and scuttle, ‘trouser crease' wings etc. The quality of the reconstruction of the coachwork and the attention to detail are really something to behold, showing dedication, genuine enthusiasm and a desire to make the coachwork indistinguishable from the original.'#VF 4011 has a fascinating history and was delivered new to J.M. Robertson of 45, West Nile Street, Glasgow wearing a Weymann saloon body by Freestone & Webb. Two years later, it had migrated south to A.R. Timson of Kettering and, in 1937, it passed to J.W. Tompkins of Peterborough. The old buff log book with the car cites Dr Benjamin Spiers of Harley St. as the owner in January 1949. Dr Spiers was responsible for having a rakish Drophead Coupé alloy body fitted to the car, which was assumed to have replaced war-damaged or modified bodywork, as its use in that period is not known. It was in this form that its next owner purchased the car from Harvey Hudson & Co. Ltd. of South Woodford, Essex in April 1954. He fondly recalls haring around the Essex countryside in the 4-Litre as a young man and having enjoyed it immensely, but within a year, his impending marriage curtailed these activities and forced him to advertise the car for sale. It was offered in Motorsport magazine, where it was listed as having had £1,500 spent since 1945, and a recent engine rebuild by McKenzies, but with no buyers forthcoming, and a need still to economise, the car was laid up on blocks until 1986. It was then that the 4-Litre was booked into Arthur Archer's esteemed restoration works in Dunmow, Essex in September 1986 for an engine overhaul. This rebuild quickly developed into a complete restoration of the chassis and running gear and, as this work neared completion, the owner and restorer were faced with a conundrum over the car's bodywork. It made little sense to restore the 1940s body as this was an anachronism for the 1930s car, but unfortunately no photos existed of this car as new. At this point, fortune played its part when another 4-Litre was discovered locally. Despite that car's derelict condition it retained a front and a back door from its original bodywork, a Gurney Nutting saloon, and a period photograph of the bodywork existed. With enough to work from, it was decided to replicate that car's Gurney Nutting bodywork for #VF 4011. The design in question was fitted originally to chassis #VA 4076, as illustrated in Johnnie Green's Bentley, 50 years of the Marque on page 135. There is little doubt of the quality and eye for detail with which the car's bodywork was remade, Archer's motto of 'Older than the Industry' being testament to their familiarity with all aspects of restoration, including coachbuilding. The new coachwork was exquisitely painted in a two-tone livery and trimmed in deep red leather hide, its interior being appointed with period correct vanity units, correct dashboard instrumentation and even a tool storage area behind the rear seat. In total, the cost of the 12-year rebuild amounted to some £90,000, for which each and every bill is available, many dating from the late 1980s when labour was considerably less than today. Upon its completion, the Bentley was first shown at the Bentley Driver's Club Annual Concours in 1998 and was lightly used over the following years before being offered to market in 2010.Between 2010 and our vendor’s purchase in 2019, #VF 4011 (still registered as GT 1094) at some point was owned by one of Ireland’s most celebrated collectors and enthusiasts, Jimmy Boland, who used the Bentley on the Gordon Bennet Rally, and it was well-maintained as part of his extensive collection. Equally, our vendor has continued the car's history of cosseted ownership and regular maintenance during the last four years, keeping the car in climate-controlled storage when not in use. This is a well-restored example of a rare model, and a commendable labour of love to have rebuilt the car to its original form. Without doubt it would make a very practical and usable touring car for Bentley Driver's Club events and the like, and would be welcome anywhere.Specification Make: BENTLEY Model: 4 LITRE Year: 1931 Chassis Number: VF 4011 Registration Number: GT 1094 Transmission: Manual Engine Number: VF4016 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: Burgundy leatherClick here for more details and images

Perhaps the defining British modern-classic, MG's supercar - rare, bespoke and capable; here with just 10,000 miles, a manual gearbox and in collector-quality condition. In 2001, the MG ‘XPower’ brand was created by MG Rover for their motorsport subsidiary, MG Sport & Racing Ltd. Soon after, the road-going MG SV supercar was planned as an indulgent 'halo' model, intended to give a further resurgence to the MG brand post-BMW, under the subsidiary and marketed using the fledging XPower brand. They were to be made available through a network of specialist XPower dealerships, or directly from the MG Sport & Racing factory. To get the project moving, MG bought out Italian manufacturer, Qvale, and planned to use its Mangusta - complete with trick chassis and Ford-sourced V8 - as the basis for a proper sports car.The XPower SV’s aggressive design was penned by Peter Stevens - the man responsible for the McLaren F1 - and there’s no denying it looks quite unlike anything that’s come before or since, seemingly combining tuner, exotic and muscle car elements into one package. It was built on a lightweight steel chassis (which had integral roll over bar protection, built to FIA standards) and was clothed in a carbon fibre body, made up from over 3,000 separate pieces. This was formed and cut to size in the UK before being shipped to Italy, where each part was laid in moulds before being 'cooked' to form the rigid sections that were then attached together to form the complete body.The extremely rigid steel box frame chassis, made in Italy, was fully built up before the body was attached, then the mechanically complete cars were finished in the UK. The engine utilised was a Ford 4.6-litre V8 (with twin cams per bank and four valves per cylinder) delivering 320bhp in base SV format, whilst the more potent SV-R model gained a Roush-tuned 'cammer' 5-litre V8 upping the output to an official 385bhp - though it allegedly produced closer to 410bhp. The SV-R could be specified with an automatic or manual 5-speed Tremec gearbox, helping to propel the latter from 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds, and with a top speed of 175mph.The consensus is that a total of just 82 cars were completed, of which 42 were the more powerful SV-R. Customers including Rowan Atkinson were keen to experience this MG supercar before the company entered administration on 12th April 2005.The car presented here is a 2004 MG XPower SV-R, Chassis #154 (first registered November 2004), with the more desirable manual gearbox and with only 10,669 miles covered from new. Its condition is wholly commensurate with that low-mileage and belies its 19 years. Ordered in Starlight Silver with contrasting black side vents, a black leather interior (including seats and steering wheel), electric seat height adjustment, electric windows, dual-action 4-belt, 3-point safety harness, SV-R 18" OZ split-rim alloy wheels and upgraded brakes, a specification it still retains today.#154 was initially utilised as a demonstrator for MG Sport & Racing's specially appointed XPower dealership, Phoenix Preston, to whom it was registered. As we understand it through the MG SV database, the car’s ownership remained with MG Sport & Racing Ltd., and it was returned from Preston when the wider business entered administration in April 2005. Indeed, the car still wears its MG Sport & Racing Ltd. number plates with pride! The car’s additional two keepers were associated with MG Rover, as it was serviced twice by them early on in its life.Since then, it has been fully serviced by Luffields, the official SV service agents, and more recently readied for sale by marque specialists, Retro Sports Cars Ltd. of Huddersfield. On offer from a small private Collection, this car has been diligently kept and used infrequently by our vendor since 2014. A never-to-be-repeated type of car from a bygone British carmaker - rare, exotic and a best-of-breed example - all the components for securing future status.Specification Make: MG Model: XPOWER SV-R Year: 2004 Chassis Number: SA9SVGCC5M130154 Registration Number: BX54 AUL Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 88207838 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 10670 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black leather Click here for more details and images

A superbly restored, matching numbers example of an early 289 Hi-Po car, the model that was to inspire Caroll Shelby's GT350. With performance to raise a smile when in the mood, and enough space for the family when required, some say the Ford Mustang created its own industry sector by offering an affordable sports car for the daily commute. The second of two models, the Coupé was marketed as the hardtop version of the convertible, and is today known as the Notchback. The sportier looking Fastback was launched in early 1965, clearly defining the Mustang range and into Mustang genesis for the line of tuned Ford Mustangs that followed, was the early production 289 High Performance (Hi-Po) Mustang. This was the car that Carroll Shelby took and rebadged as the GT350.Records show that just 466 1965 K-Code cars were built at the Ford Dearborn factory in Illinois, many destined for Shelby's Los Angeles workshops. The example offered here is a 19th February 1965-registered Ford Mustang K-code Hi-Po finished to the most exacting standards. Possibly the finest early correct example available worldwide, and all tuned Mustangs, even today, can trace their DNA back to this car. Purchased in the United States in 2011, the restoration was carried out by renowned Mustang expert and MCA judge, Denis Frances Restos of Danville Virginia.It was subject to a bare-metal rotisserie restoration with the brief to make it as close as possible to the factory production line cars, including, remarkably, factory overspray detail and crayon marks. Finished in Caspian Blue with a black interior and fitted with Carlite factory-tint glass, it is incredibly faithful to the original specification and even retains its original door plate. It's fitted with it's original V8 289 Hi-Po engine as used in the Shelby GT350. This was rebuilt at the same time as the restoration at a cost of $7,000, and travelled just 300 miles in 2014.The 4-speed 'top-loader' manual gearbox was also rebuilt at the same time. The full specification includes black Decor seats, 9" differential, front discs with dual master cylinder, date-correct seat belts and new correct steel wheels. It also sports reproduced Arvinode exhausts. This Mustang really is as good as it gets, and has caught the eye of two previous vendors of ours, the first whilst on a plinth at the Silverstone Auctions NEC Classic Motor Show Sale in 2014.Prior to being sold by us last year, the Mustang had been rightly displayed on the Pride of Ownership stand at the Classic Motor Show. Our 2022 sale vendor had added a spare wheel with cover, fitted a period correct radio with modern electrics, prop shaft seals and passenger side window regulator, with the works carried out by noted specialist Bill Shepherd Mustang at a cost of £2,358. The car's current owner has kept the car in a heated garage since purchase, and is thinning his collection out on a 'last in-first out' basis.Presented to auction with a history file that includes recent receipts, V5C, Owner's Manuals, a book entitled The 289 Mustang High Performance Mustang Story and an odometer reading of 20,987 miles at the time of cataloguing.Specification Make: FORD Model: MUSTANG Year: 1965 Chassis Number: 5F09K640857 Registration Number: FNA 392C Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 640857 Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 21000 Miles Make: Only LHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Classic looks and very competitive, this fabulous Alfa race car has current FIA HTP papers valid until 2026. The Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV was made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1967. This classic Alfa Romeo model was a popular sports coupe and formed part of the Alfa Romeo 105/115 Series, known for its elegant design and sporty performance. In 1971 Alfa Romeo introduced the 2000 GTV at the Geneva Motor Show in March of 1971. The 2000 GTV was essentially an updated/continuation of the 1750 GTV, retaining the 1750 GTV coachwork but with minor detail styling changed, and the biggest change, a torquey 1962cc DOHC-engine now producing 132bhp in standard guise.Driver’s cars par excellence in the best Alfa Romeo tradition, Bertone's timelessly elegant Giulia-based coupés are among the most exciting sports models of the 1960s and 1970s. This wonderful little racer is an original UK-delivered, right-hand drive example that has been raced and competed all over the international circuit in recent years, and contrary to popular opinion on Alfas, it remains to be working faultlessly!Here at Iconic Auctioneers, we are huge fans of the Alfa Romeo 1750 and 2000 GTV respectively, and it is with great excitement that we offer a fabulously competitive and very well prepared, right-hand drive, FIA certified variant of this fantastic little coupé. The car is a 1750 GTV that has been built and homologated to H1 1972-1975 specification, registered with the FIA as a 1971 2000 GTV with the therefore correct 1962cc engine. For the long-distance rally enjoyers, and ‘enthusiastic’ drivers, the car is fully road-legal and road registered with a current V5.The history file contains a colossal amount of bills and invoices from Alfa specialists Alfaholics, Classic Alfa and DLR services. The engine is fully forged with most parts supplied by Alfaholics totalling nearly £10,000 in October 2014 alone. The engine was removed, stripped, machined and rebuilt by DLR services in 2014/15 with bills on file in excess of £5,000, as well rolling road setup. The bills and invoices for parts and labour are well in excess of £20,000, and there is also an abundance of race results, timing sheets and race entries included in the file. Importantly, also included is the MSA Homologation Form and MSA Historic Technical Papers, valid until 31/12/2026. It goes without saying that this Alfa is phenomenally fast and fastidiously built, with the finest parts supplied and fitted to this car. Viewing of the history file is highly recommended, it makes for very pleasant reading.Cosmetically one would expect a few blemishes on race cars, but as can be seen from the photos, this lovely Alfa presents extremely well, running and driving as beautifully as it looks, making a delightful noise out of its side-exit exhaust. The bodywork in Farina Red shows no sign of the scourge of Alfas, the dreaded tin worm, and the interior is in a good condition. The car has been maintained without thought of expense and shows its age beautifully.The car is competitive, having been raced internationally in France at Dijon in 2016, coming 2nd in class and 13th overall, at Spa in 2015, and across the UK at Silverstone all the way up to 2019, and winning its class at Donnington in 2016.The historic touring car grid is always an aesthetically pleasing line-up, but this little Alfa is up there with the absolute prettiest, but not to be fooled by its good looks, it certainly packs a punch and gets very strong race results when push comes to shove.Specification Make: ALFA ROMEO Model: 2000 GTV Year: 1971 Chassis Number: AR1455438 Registration Number: FEH 896J Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 00548E6514 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Is there a cooler classic car? Understated, Highland Green, Fastback silhouette; this is a superb example that drives as well as it looks. The original Mustang was exactly the right car at the right time and consequently, this 'sports car for the masses' sold 1,000,000 in less than two years. The secret of the Mustang's success was a broad appeal that extended beyond the target market thanks to a great value-for-money package, combining sporty looks, decent economy and brisk performance. Available as a Notchback Coupe, Convertible or, from 1965, as Fastback Coupe and the array of trim and engine options meant that there was a 'Stang' to satisfy everyone. The fastback Coupe is an effortlessly cool shape and is the Mustang profile that people default to in their mind's eye. Mustangs could be ordered in specifications ranging from six-cylinder economy to V8-powered luxury, whilst customers could choose from an extensive range of factory options with the result that seldom are two Mustangs identical. Already an outstanding success, the Mustang was turned into a legend overnight following its appearance in the Steve McQueen film, Bullitt  in 1968. In one of the most spectacular car chases ever seen in a motion picture, McQueen's maverick cop, Frank Bullitt, wowed audiences as he was pursued by two hitmen driving a Dodge Charger 440 'Magnum' in a high-speed chase through the streets of San Francisco. Bullitt essentially did for movie car chases what Star Wars did for science fiction films. That's because, unlike other movies at the time, the stunt driving was all real; there were no cheap rear-screen projections used for the close-up shots of the actors, and none of the scenes were sped up in post-production to heighten the sense of speed. They didn't need to be, because those cars really were barrelling through the streets of San Francisco at over 110mph! There was a real sense of danger, unlike any movie chase before it, as the two muscle cars weaved through traffic and jumped over the hills of San Francisco, while the camera literally put you in the driving seat. The soundtrack is glorious too, and we don't mean the music soundtrack. Not a word of dialogue is spoken during the 11-minute long sequence. Apart from the scene-setting jazz score that does a great job of building tension before the chase erupts in a cloud of tire smoke, there's no music either, allowing you to appreciate the sound of two thunderous V8 muscle cars and their screaming tortured tyres battling it out. It promptly became an unforgettable part of cinematic history and confirmed the Mustang as one of the all-time classics.The car presented here is a 1968 Ford Mustang, Steve McQueen 'Bullitt-style' Fastback with subtle upgrades to get it to the level of accuracy we see today. It’s supplied with a Marti Report (see image attached) which shows that it was an original Highland Green Fastback built at Ford’s Dearborn plant and sold by the Rebsamen Motor Company in Little Rock, Arkansas. Before leaving the USA, it was registered and used in California and a copy of the California Title is present. The car arrived in the UK in 2015 and is registered correctly with all import taxes paid.The paintwork is very good throughout, dressed in movie-correct, Highland Green, and the exterior has front and rear bumper guards, screen sun-visor, correct inset sidelights, front and rear inset reflectors, original-style chrome mirrors and twin 2-inch exhaust pipes. The car sits on period-correct Torq-Thrust wheels with 225/55/16 Bridgestone Sport tyres. The private McQueen movie number plate 'JJZ' is also supplied with the car.The interior has been fully restored with movie-correct, black deluxe seats, woodgrain dash panel and door cards, and new carpets and headlining. The correct, 4-speed, top-loader, manual gearbox has the Hurst GT shifter with a white ball GT gear knob and was refurbished recently (an invoice refers). 3-point front seat belts and rear lap belts are installed. The 302ci V8 starts on the button and sounds great with its nickel-plated, 'shorty' performance headers and full X-pipe custom large dual Magnaflow exhausts. Steering is power-assisted, and disc brakes are fitted on the front. The indicated mileage is 4,642, the MOT is valid until 8th August 2024 and there is a small service file with some bills. Our vendor has spent £12,000 in further improving this car’s driveability, with recent work to the gearbox and suspension, plus some other minor touches (see invoices attached), to make this a really spot-on classic muscle car, with the sure-fire cool-factor of its Bullitt-style demeanour.We welcome any inspection of this iconic piece of American automotive history.

Everything that a sports car should be - dynamic, rewarding and stimulating. The legendary Honda NSX (New Sportscar Experimental) was developed by the Honda Motor Corporation between 1984 and its eventual launch in 1990. With the NSX, Honda produced the world’s first everyday usable supercar, which left the Italian competition for dead in terms of reliability, practicality and build quality. These same qualities make it a joy to drive and own today. Its revolutionary chassis and suspension – all aluminium like the bodywork – making the car very light and extremely strong, were perfected at Suzuka with input from three-time F1 World Champion, Ayrton Senna.The NSX featured a state-of-the-art 3-litre 24-valve V6 'VTEC' engine (Variable Valve Timing), and despite being developed during F1's turbo-era, the engine was normally aspirated. Equipped with this new valve timing technology, the free-revving all-alloy unit produced 270bhp initially, which was good enough for a top speed of 168mph and a 0-60mph time of less than six seconds. Those performance figures put the NSX on a par with Ferrari's 348 GTB, but in terms of comfort, ergonomics, driving dynamics, and build quality, the NSX was in a different league entirely. Sadly, this superiority was not translated into sales, and by the time production ceased in 2005, fewer than 20,000 NSXs had been sold – consequently making them relatively rare and much sought after today.Ticking all the boxes, this particular first-generation Honda NSX Press Car is an original UK-registered, right-hand drive Targa with the desirable manual gearbox, finished in Sebring Silver with a Claret hide interior. Interestingly, as a press car, originally registered N115 GLY, it is totally silver with no black top, a colour scheme that sets it apart from the general production examples. In excellent overall condition, this Motor Sport Magazine test car is in outstanding condition throughout and presents superbly, fitted with slightly larger 18" wheels of a similar pattern and an enhanced exhaust system.A comprehensive history file including invoices going back to almost day one as well as an impressive MOT trace accompanies the Honda, displaying regular care and maintenance throughout its lifeIt should be noted that the present registration number E2 NSZ does not form part of the sale but could be available by separate negotiation.Specification Make: HONDA Model: NSX NA-1 Year: 1996 Chassis Number: JHMNA11800T500015 Registration Number: TBC Transmission: Manual Engine Number: D30A4-510008 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 74729 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Burgundy HideClick here for more details and images

Superbly presented, rare four-door 321bhp M3 Evolution on offer from the Private Collection of rock legend, Jay Kay. Based on the critically acclaimed E36 platform, BMW’s second generation M3 was unveiled in 1992 and featured a straight-six under the bonnet for the first time. Initially based on the stylish coupé model of the new 3-series, with its slippery new shape and fresh corporate face, the M3 employed some seriously sophisticated hardware, marking the first use of BMW’s new double VANOS system to adjust both inlet and exhaust camshafts. The sublime 3-litre engine boasted 24-valve technology, twin overhead camshafts along with the variable valve timing system, controlled by the latest Bosch Motronic fuel injection. Power was significantly boosted over the old four-cylinder model, rising to 286 horses at 7,000rpm. Already lauded as one of the finest-handling chassis on the market, in M3 guise the E36 became a world beater, capable of out-performing many exotics. Things continued to improve with the expansion of the range in 1994 to include a four-door saloon, and the arrival of the second generation Evolution cars powered by the new S52 B32, 3.2-litre straight-six with a raised compression ratio to 11.3:1, which significantly upped the power output to 321bhp at 7,400rpm. A 6-speed manual gearbox was fitted and the sequential DSG transmission was an option. Other changes included a new Cornering Brake Control system and 17" wheels, with fatter 225/45 ZR17 (front) and 245/40 ZR17 (rear) tyres. Regarded as one of the best sports cars of the 1990s, BMW’s E36 M3 Evolution was destined to become a classic. We are delighted to be asked to offer this fabulous four-door E36 Evo with the 6-speed manual gearbox from the private Collection of rock legend and knowledgeable petrol head, Jay Kay. It's one of only 570 UK right-hand drive examples of the E36 Evolution Saloon and has covered just 46,074 miles from new. It's finished in Boston Green Metallic with a classic M3 interior in light grey Nappa leather and it's only fair to describe the car as immaculate. These final cars are really great to drive, quick, smooth and immensely competent. Book-ended by the E30 and E46 M3s, the E36 M3 is often overlooked and, particularly in four-door form, underrated meaning that they are superb value. In amazing condition, with low-mileage and the cachet of celebrity ownership, this desirable M3 seems very sensibly guided.

Elegant, stylish and rare, this Velvet Green Corniche would be welcome anywhere. Introduced in March 1971, the Corniche was a revised version of the Mulliner, Park Ward-bodied two-door variants of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow and Bentley T-Series saloons, themselves notable as the Crewe factory's first unitary construction cars. In Corniche form, Rolls-Royce's well-tried 6.7-litre V8 produced around 10% more power than standard and proved capable of propelling the car to a top speed in excess of 120mph with sports car-rivalling acceleration to match. The model proved a major success for Rolls-Royce; periodically revised and up-dated, it remained in production well into the 1990s, the last (Convertible) examples being delivered in 1995. For much of the time that the Corniche was in production, a Bentley was regarded as little more than a slightly cheaper alternative to a Rolls-Royce. This famous marque had yet to re-establish its reputation as maker of some of the world's fastest and most exciting sports saloons and Grand Tourers, a process that commenced in 1982 with the launch of the remarkable Mulsanne Turbo. Consequently, the Bentley Corniche was produced in much smaller numbers than its Rolls-Royce equivalent, despite being – arguably – the more handsome of the two. The name originally comes from the French word for a coastal road, particularly along the face of a cliff, most notably the Grande Corniche along the French Riviera above the principality of Monaco, and it was thought at the time that this new name might convey some of the style and glamour of Monte Carlo and, 50 years later, it still does. Up to 1984, when the Bentley Corniche was renamed 'Continental', only 151 had been sold compared to several thousand of the Rolls-Royce version and, pleasingly, these rare Bentleys are becoming much sought after today.On offer here we indeed have one of these rare elegant two-door cars. We understand that it was originally finished in Willow Gold but was later refinished in Velvet Green, an altogether more subtle presentation, although the original Magnolia leather interior is still in place, as luxurious as ever.The car's previous owner was an established figure in the world of motor racing having raced in the 1950s and 1960s piloting not only his D-Type, but also an XK120, C-Type, Aston Martin DB3S, Lister Costin, and Tojiero amongst a number of others. Our vendor, a well-respected collector in his own right, had been fortunate enough to buy the previous owner's Jaguar D-Type and, in a sentimental moment, thought that it would be nice to add his beloved Corniche to his own Collection to enable the Jaguar and the Bentley to sit side-by-side once again. A great idea but, as our vendor does have a number of other Bentleys, it was inevitably not going to be used enough so the decision was made to offer it for sale.The history file indicates that the engine had a major overhaul in 2003 which was around 13,000 miles ago. The current mileage is just under 80,000 and we understand from our vendor that everything works as intended, the electric seats, cold air conditioning, the stereo works from all four speakers, whilst the electric aerial is operated with a switch adjacent to the steering column.The rare Bentley Corniche is, without question, a masterpiece in looks and engineering and has that certain cachet fully understood by Bentley owners. 107 HYL is an extremely desirable luxury car in beautiful condition and we believe will be very well received by collectors and enthusiasts alike.Specification Make: BENTLEY Model: CORNICHE Year: 1974 Chassis Number: CBH17786 Registration Number: 107 HYL Transmission: auto Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 79178 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: MagnoliaClick here for more details and images

Part of the Cheshire Collection, supplied new by Ralliart UK to the first owner who covered less than 27,000 miles during his 23-year ownership. The Cheshire Collection is a carefully curated ensemble of modern classics that represent our vendor's enthusiasm, and are all offered on a No Reserve basis to make way for new additions to their respective collections. For nearly a decade, they have been a welcome sight at our auctions, and whilst we have appreciated their energetic bidding, we have valued their chats, enthusiast to enthusiast, just as much. Each car is special, whether it's the vastly improved 1973 Ford Escort, the last production Sierra RS Cosworth showing less than 22,000 miles, the fabulous 12,000km 'Group N' Escort Cosworth, the well-maintained Clio V6, the one-owner, low-mileage Evo VI GSR to, perhaps, the best 2005 Honda Civic Type R on the market.It wasn't until the launch of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI (more commonly referred to as the Evo VI GSR) that the Japanese firm entered the consciousness of a wider spectrum of rally enthusiasts. The first Evo to be officially available in the UK, the Mitsubishi Evo VI was launched in January 1999. From May 1999, UK cars were imported by Mitsubishi Motors and prepared by Ralliart UK (a new company offering closer ties with the UK importer that saw the opening of a small number of Ralliart dealers; even cars sold through Ralliart UK were still subject to Single Vehicle Approval (SVA), which was carried out on behalf of customers). Most came as GSR-spec, but a cheaper RSX model was also launched to combat the draw of Subaru’s keenly-priced Impreza rival. The 'standard' Evo VI GSR stole enthusiasts' hearts from the get-go, its 2-litre turbocharged engine produced 276bhp (although it’s accepted that it was closer to 300bhp), and 275lb/ft. Fed through all four wheels via a 5-speed gearbox, it made the 1,360kg car fast and exciting. The key was its generous cooling.Not only did the Evo VI have a bigger intercooler, oil cooler and radiator than the Evo V, but it also had enlarged ducts in the front bumper, made possible by locating the number plate to the side. That told anyone also considering a Subaru Impreza WRX that the Evo VI was 'serious'. It certainly was, now fitted with a new ECU and permanent four-wheel drive with Active Yaw Control (AYC) that gave physics-defying handling by minimising oversteer and understeer, and a practical four-door body, the Evo immediately gave Subaru a bloody nose. It also helped it crack 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds and head on to 150mph (rather than the 112mph limited top speed of many Japanese imported models). Its body was stiffened with 130 additional spot welds and thicker gauge steel. The front suspension was improved with stronger, forged front knuckles the rear with forged aluminium to reduce unsprung weight.With a price tag of £30,995 when it officially went on sale in the UK, the Evo VI proved a performance bargain. In addition to its WRC-inspired mechanicals, it had showroom-friendly features such as climate control, Recaro sports seats and electric windows and mirrors. The Evo VI's candle burned brightly for a mere two years before being replaced in March 2001 by the Evo VII. For many, the Evo VI remains the pinnacle of Mitsubishi Evo design for its style, aggression and usability.The car presented here is a 1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR, car #149 (denoted by its service booklet and gearstick plaque) supplied to the UK-market via Ralliart UK. Finished in Ichelle Blue it was sold via Mitsubishi Motors Reading on 25th March 1999 (to our then vendor), who applied the registration S666 EVO to it, which is generously included in the sale. The car is today still in factory-standard condition, having covered just 26,724 (verifiable) miles (at time of cataloguing) with early Mitsubishi service history (followed by trusted local independents), accompanied by its original Ralliart service booklet and Mitsubishi sales invoice. Our vendor was an early advocate of the abilities of the Evo VI and was invited, with other customers, by Mitsubishi on a specially chartered flight to Rotterdam to inspect and drive their respective cars. The cars were then brought into the UK, fettled by Ralliart and given to owners via the specialist dealerships.Sold by us in 2022 from a vendor who had owned and enjoyed this car ever since, ensuring it has always been garaged and well-maintained. After being garaged and not used (but regularly run-up) for a number of years, it benefitted from £1,700-worth of recommissioning work in June 2021, including an engine flush, a full oil/fluid and filters service, a new battery, new timing/auxiliary belts, a new v/belt tensioner, new spark plugs, and new brake hoses.Specification Make: MITSUBISHI Model: LANCER EVOLUTION VI Year: 1999 Chassis Number: CP9A1012568 Registration Number: S666EVO Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 4G63-YT0350 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 26926 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black/BlueClick here for more details and images

Part of the Cheshire Collection, an award winning seven-year restoration, celebrated in print for its cosmetic authenticity and modern performance due to its 2-litre Zetec engine. A unique car, extensively exhibited and known as the 2000E. The Cheshire Collection is a carefully curated ensemble of modern classics that represent our vendor's enthusiasm, and are all offered on a No Reserve basis to make way for new additions to their respective collections. For nearly a decade, they have been a welcome sight at our auctions, and whilst we have appreciated their energetic bidding, we have valued their chats, enthusiast to enthusiast, just as much. Each car is special, whether it's the vastly improved 1973 Ford Escort, the last production Sierra RS Cosworth showing more than 21,000 miles, the fabulous 12,000km 'Group N' Escort Cosworth, the well-maintained Clio V6, the one-owner, low-mileage Evo VI GSR to, perhaps, the best 2005 Honda Civic Type R on the market.This highly celebrated car started out as an Escort 1300E on 18th December 1973 and according to the September issue of Classic Ford Magazine in 2016, where the car was glowingly reviewed, it took nearly a decade of patience, hard work and skill to get to what we see today. Not just rebuilt to be shown at the UK’s finest classic shows, Mr Penney, the owner, wanted the best combination of classic and modern. Details of the restoration are extensive, as are the sourcing of NOS parts, from critical components such as panels to the often overlooked trim. 'Detail and Finish' were the guiding principals throughout the process.New panels were fitted as required including the rear quarters, inner and outer sills, front and rear panel, slam panel, turrets, full length inner wing tops, door skins, front floor pans with the addition of strut-top strengthening plates. Other new parts included the windscreen, drop glasses, dash switches, boot trim and hockey sticks, front indicator lenses, rear light lenses, front quarter and rear bumpers with re-chromed door handles and rear light surrounds. Finished in Stardust Silver (Sikkens Autowave Waterbase and Crystal Lacquer), new roof vinyl and a fully rebuilt Britax Weathershield sunroof.The 2-litre Zetec (Silvertop) had covered 6,000 miles and was treated to new rings, a skimmed head, new head gasket and new valve seats before fitting with standard cams all painted in Satin Plastikote , 'BDA-style' rocker cover, new Weber 45s with braided fuel lines, Omex ECU, new painted copper radiator, Kenlowe fan, full 2.5" stainless exhaust including a 4-2-1 manifold. A 'Type 9' gearbox with Quaife shift was fitted with a fully rebuilt 3.77 English diff within a powder-coated rear axle, new front and half-shaft bearings, Bilstein adjustable coil-over front struts, with the front suspension powder-coated throughout. Bias box fed in braided hose to new M16 calipers, Mintex pads and vented discs. New rear dampers, powder-coated multi leaves with lowering blocks and new poly-bushes throughout. New banded Lotus 5.5J wheels and chrome centre caps with Falken 185/60/13sThe interior was treated to new RS 'Scheel'-specification Beta cloth interior, fully stripped, re-veneered dash and cappings, new door cards and footwell panels. New black Moonstone headlining and sunroof lining, original rear quarter panels and a new rear parcel shelf were also fitted. Once completed, it took part at the 2015 Classic Ford Show 'Great Unveiling' at Santa Pod, was a 2015 Classic Motor Show Meguiars Showcase Finalist at the NEC, was the 2016 Classic Ford of the Year Nominee sponsored by Classic Ford Magazine, won the 2017 Best Modified section of the Wonderland Sports & Classic Car Show, Hoveringham, was invited to participate at the 2018 London Classic Car Show Grand Avenue parade and won the 2018 Manchester Classic Car Show Best Trailered award.We like unique cars and very few award-winning examples are available at this estimate, not least with a conversion to modern running gear that has gained the approval of so many.Specification Make: FORD Model: ESCORT 1ST GEN Year: 1973 Chassis Number: BBATNK41838 Registration Number: TMX913M Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 96000 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Part of the Cheshire Collection since 2015, less than 22,000 miles and confirmed by Ford as the last right-hand drive Sierra Cosworth to leave the production line. Very special. The Cheshire Collection is a carefully curated ensemble of modern classics that represent our vendor's enthusiasm, and are all offered on a No Reserve basis to make way for new additions to their respective collections. For nearly a decade, they have been a welcome sight at our auctions, and whilst we have appreciated their energetic bidding, we have valued their chats, enthusiast to enthusiast, just as much. Each car is special, whether it's the vastly improved 1973 Ford Escort, the last production Sierra RS Cosworth showing less than 22,000 miles, the fabulous 12,000km 'Group N' Escort Cosworth, the well-maintained Clio V6, the one-owner, low-mileage Evo VI GSR to, perhaps, the best 2005 Honda Civic Type R on the market.The original Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was the first Ford to wear the Cosworth badge and was introduced at the 1985 Geneva Motor Show as a means of homologating the Sierra for 'Group A' Touring Car racing. These regulations dictated that a minimum of 5,000 were built and sold, and eventually Ford complied, with 5,545 finding homes. Based on the three-door Sierra body shell, it was designed by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) and was powered by a Cosworth-designed 2-litre turbo engine of now legendary repute. The RS Cosworth used a 204bhp 2-litre DOHC engine with a Garret T3 turbocharger and intercooler enabling it to reach 62mph in 6.8 seconds and top speed of 150mph. In 1986, the Sierra Cosworth was a new kind of performance car - a blue-collar hero able to humble true sports cars.In January 1990, the third generation Sierra RS Cosworth was launched, this time with four-wheel drive. As early as 1987, Mike Moreton and Ford Motorsport had been talking about a four-wheel drive Sierra RS Cosworth that could make Ford competitive in the World Rally Championship. Ford Motorsport's desire for a 3-door 'Motorsport Special' equivalent to the original Sierra RS Cosworth was not embraced. The more discreet 4-door version was considered to have a better marketing potential, and it was therefore decided that the new car should be a natural development of the second generation, to be launched in conjunction with the facelift scheduled for the entire Sierra line in 1990.Launched to huge acclaim, the 4x4 RS Cosworth was superceded by the Mondeo in 1992, which brings us neatly to this immaculate example here. For K916 ATX has the distinction of being the last Sierra 4x4 Cosworth from the production line at Genk, as confirmed by a letter from the Operations Manager at Ford Genk, Germany. Delivered new on 2nd March 1993 to a Mr Gambling, he must have been made an attractive offer by Ford dealers Fordthorne of Cardiff, as he sold it to them on 3rd August 1993. There then followed a long period of ownership by Fordthorne, who regularly serviced and maintained the car, with detailed receipts on file, although the service book was not stamped. In 2009, the car was purchased by a Mr Bailey who kept it for some five years before he sold it to our vendor in 2015.The car presents immaculately today. The unmarked and rare Mallard Green paintwork gleams and the black leather Recaro seats show little, if any, signs of wear, understandably for a car showing just 20,335 miles. This figure is backed up by every MOT except one (from 1999), which we believe was due to the car being off the road, pre the days of SORN and therefore not showing on any records. In preparation for the sale, the car was fitted with brand new discs and pads all round, a new timing belt, full service, fuel filter and a brand-new OE-exhaust and flew through its most recent MOT which is valid until 15th October 2024.Most final production models are retained by the manufacturer and any low-mileage Sierra RS Cosworth is special, but there is only one right-hand car that can genuinely be called the 'last one'.Specification Make: FORD Model: SIERRA SAPPHIRE RS COSWORTH 4X4 Year: 1993 Chassis Number: WF0FXXGBBFNS98109 Registration Number: K916ATX Transmission: Manual Engine Number: NS98109 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 21335 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

On offer from the Barton J Hubert No Reserve Collection - with the hammer price (plus Buyers Premium) going to the Kids Club Kampala Charity; a simply stunning Collector-quality Series 1 with just under 1,900 miles from new. Purity is a fragile and vulnerable thing and in August 1996, the revolutionary new Lotus Elise seemed to ooze purity from every extruded anodised aluminium and epoxy resin crevice, with nothing superfluous subtracting from the essence of this truly minimalist, focused little sports car. Although 'beautiful to behold' it certainly was, the time-honoured relationship between 'form and function' was clearly evident in the way it went and handled, with its lightweight chassis-tub at 731kg failing to daunt the enthusiasm of the mid-mounted, 1.8-litre K-series engine and its 118bhp was enough for a 0-60mph time in the low sixes, allied to decent torque in the higher ratios. Clothed in two-piece 'clamshell' fibreglass bodywork, the featherweight two-door also featured all round double-wishbone, independent coil-over suspension, rack and pinion steering, four-wheel ventilated disc brakes and a 5-speed gearbox.Designer Julian Thomson and engineer Richard Rackham were keen to create a car with something of a motorcycle's feel and they undoubtedly succeeded; as is evident as much in the aluminium-and-rubber interior and neat little Stack instrument panel, as in the car's dynamic intimacy with the road, the wind and the weather. The Elise was a reaction to the corpulent world of leather, luxury and levers becoming increasingly evident in Lotus road cars, and was an attempt to recreate Colin Chapman’s early principles before he abandoned them in a move upmarket.Introduced at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show, just over 10,600 S1 Elises were built before the arrival of the S2 in 2001. It’s a testimony to the concept that, almost 27 years on from launch, the original 118bhp S1 still delivers. As with other great drivers' cars such as the E30 M3 and the original Elan, all things feel in balance – power, grip, handling and mass, making for a uniquely satisfying experience. The Series 2 naturally benefitted from further years of development, however the more demure Series 1 still defines the breed.The car presented here is a 1997 Lotus Elise S1 which was supplied new by long-established Lotus dealers Bell & Colvill to Robert ‘Robs’ Lamplough, the well-known 1960s racing driver and prominent member of the BRDC. Remarkably, it has covered just 1,900 miles from new, supported by its incredible condition and its detailed history file. This is a 'museum-quality' modern-classic, but it has been used and exercised sparingly, ensuring its fitness. Coincidentally, our very own ambassador, Harry Metcalfe, drove this actual car in October 2022, saying 'Nothing to see here, just an 1,800 miles from new 1996 Lotus Elise I was in today. Felt so light on its feet (K-Series was the perfect engine for the Elise) and steering was a reminder of how good a no-power assist rack can be. Pretty car too.'This little Lotus presents superbly in Racing Green Metallic with Magnolia hide, and is fitted with a 'Momo' steering wheel, built in driving lights and Perspex headlamp covers. It is the 911th example produced and is equipped with a number of features unique to the early cars, including the lightweight Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) brakes and aluminium engine cover that helped towards achieving the headline-grabbing target weight of just 690kg.The accompanying history file includes it's original purchase invoice and previous service invoices (including from the supplying dealer). As good as you'd ever find.This fabulous Lotus is very generously being offered for sale with the hammer price figure realised (plus, the IA sellers commission) being donated to Birmingham-based charity Kids Club Kampala - a children’s charity with a Christian ethos working in Uganda, East Africa. Their mission is to support vulnerable kids in the slums of Kampala, the capital of Uganda, by providing for both their immediate needs and strengthening their futures by feeding, protecting, educating and skilling. Their projects are a lifeline to vulnerable children, and they are currently supporting over 300,000 individuals across 12 communities in Uganda.Specification Make: LOTUS Model: ELISE SERIES 1 Year: 1997 Chassis Number: SCC111YN1VHA10911 Registration Number: P516 FPM Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 18K4FJ31481945 Odometer Reading: 1900 Miles Make: Interior Colour: Magnolia Click here for more details and images

This beautiful Quattrovalvole Spider is undoubtedly one of the nicest examples we have seen for years. The 308 replaced the 246 Dino in 1975 as Ferrari’s mid-engined sports car model. It was in production until 1985 when superseded by the 328, which was the last car of this iconic shape. Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti of Pininfarina (who was also responsible for the Ferrari Daytona) it was first shown at the 1975 Paris Motor Show and is still regarded today as having one of Ferrari’s most celebrated silhouettes. The model evolved during its lifespan and the 308 Quattrovalvole, as offered here, was launched at the 1982 Paris Motor Show – with the main update being a new cylinder head, using four valves per cylinder, which increased power output to a claimed 240hp and a top speed over 150mph. The 'QV' also had a few small exterior and interior changes, but essentially retained the same classic appearance as the first 308.On offer here is an original UK-supplied, right-hand drive car, first registered in January 1984, that has been well-maintained throughout its life – as witnessed by the substantial history and service folder – with the last owner undertaking considerable restoration works, including some limited body repairs, a full repaint in its original Rosso Corsa and an interior re-trim.The 308 has a tube frame with separate body and both appear to be in very good condition, the bodywork having received some minor repairs and a full respray in 2019. Being the GTS model, this car has a Targa top – a removable roof panel, which can be stowed in a vinyl cover behind the seats when not in use. The tan leather interior and black carpeting appear excellent, having benefitted from a re-trim in 2019 and, in terms of creature comforts, it's fitted with the optional Borletti air-conditioning and a modern Kenwood CD unit.The transversely-mounted, four-cam, 3-litre V8 engine was treated to a recent service (January 2023) at Carrs Ferrari Exeter and a full compression test was carried out on all eight cylinders, displaying between 145psi and 170psi, a good result. There is an excellent history file detailing previous services and maintenance with relevant invoices. The odometer reads 21,794 miles, however the mileage is in fact 121,794, although looking at the car you would find it hard to tell, such is the quality of its presentation. It's supplied with a fitted luggage set and a full tool kit.This super 308 will celebrate its 40th Birthday in a few months time but remains a head-turner. Beautifully finished in classic colours, sitting on 17" Compomotive alloy wheels and demonstrably well-maintained, it's ready to be enjoyed by a new admirer of the world-famous 'prancing horse' marque.Specification Make: FERRARI Model: 308 Year: 1984 Chassis Number: ZFFLA13C000048537 Registration Number: 308 CWK Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 48537 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 21759 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Tan LeatherClick here for more details and images

**Please note the correct registration number is KND 342N, chassis no. 1428328, engine no. AR00564*S0587*. The Alfa Romeo was supplied new to Italy in 1974 as a left hand drive example, not to London Sports Car Centre in 1972 as erroneously catalogued.** Benefitting from a major mechanical overhaul earlier this year, costing over £11,000. In 1967, Alfa Romeo dipped its toe into the Supercar sector by launching the Montreal, named after the Montreal Expo where it made its debut. It was powered by an all-new V8 quad-cam competition-derived power unit with dry-sump lubrication taken from the successful Type 33 sports racer and mated to a 5-speed ZF gearbox.With a capacity of 2,593cc, the V8 featured twin overhead camshafts per bank and produced, via Alfa Romeo/Spica fuel injection and Bosch electronic ignition, 200bhp at 6,500rpm. This provided excellent performance with a top speed of 137mph and 0-60mph in just 7.6 seconds. Under the exotic Bertone designed 2+2 coupé coachwork, the Montreal incorporated many stylish features, such as the headlamp eyelids and the NACA duct on the bonnet.According to the accompanying service coupon book, chassis '1440181' was supplied through the London Sports Car Centre on 10th March 1975 to its first registered owner, the Minimum Tool Co. Presenting in Dark Brown Metallic, this left-hand drive example benefits from a recent mechanical overhaul that cost over £11,000 in January 2023. Wildae Restorations in Devon carried out the work and there are more details in the accompanying history file along with previous MOTs, service records, invoices and correspondence.Prior to the sale, the car will be issued with a fresh MOT. This fabulous Alfa is offered to auction at a very competitive estimate when you consider its rarity and the level of recent expenditure, and is now ready for its next lucky owner to use and enjoy as originally intended.SpecificationMake: ALFA ROMEOModel: MONTREALYear: 1972Chassis Number: 1440181Registration Number: HLH 670NTransmission: ManualEngine Number: AR10564/S0146 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDClick here for more details and images

The Atlantis, commanded by the popular Kapitän-zur-See Bernhard Rogge, was perhaps the most successful of the surface raider skippers, whose story inspired the film Under Ten Flags.
