Registration : 171 VEV Chassis Number : 61/3595 Engine Number : 222D1367 Odometer reading : 55,247 miles Estimate : £2,500 - £3,000 The company founded by Bert Greeves ,MBE soon after WW2 was the same Invacar company that won a major contract to provide motorised, three-wheeled, invalid carriage vehicles to the UK Government Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance. The invalid carriages sold well and established a firm foundation for the factory, based in Essex. The factory possessed its own foundry and very soon, became expert in the new technology of fibreglass moulding. The invalid cars featured some innovative designs, notably suspension by rubber bushes that acted as self-damping springs when twisted. As a keen trials rider, Bert Greeves soon indulged his interest and started to build motorcycles for trials and scrambles, and in 1954, a roadster joined the range. Using Villiers or British Anzani engines, and suspension based on the invalid cars' rubber units, the frames illustrated another Greeves innovation. In place of the normal tubular front section and steering head was a single enormously strong aluminium alloy H-section beam. Roadster production centred on a range of modest 250 and 325cc lightweight twins. By the 1960s, the Sports Twins had become probably the best of their kind, thanks to Greeves handling and quality build. An indication of the regard in which they were held was their adoption as police bikes. In 1960, Sales Manager Derry Preston Cobb conceived a publicity stunt for the latest Greeves roadsters, in which TV actor and motorcycle enthusiast, Richard Wyler (famed for the TV Series The Man from Interpol) and road racer Joe Dunphy, would tour as many European cities as possible in eight days, on the bikes provided by Greeves. A brand new 32DC, 171 VEV, was taken off the production line to join the press 32DC, 950 UNO, for the trip. Despite some mishaps the trip was successfully completed and was featured in the March 23rd and 30th editions of Motor Cycling. After the trip, 171 VEV was retained by the factory as Bert Greeves' personal machine and was used to try out developments as they came along, which explains why the bike is fitted with some later fibreglass parts. These are however very much a part of the bike's history and the vendor has resisted restoring the bike to standard form because of that. 171 VEV has been part of a large collection of British two stroke machines for the past thirty years and comes with; V5, the original log book (showing Invacar Ltd as first owner) and various documents confirming its identity. The vendor informs us the Greeves is in sound running condition though it would now benefit from some light renovation. This Greeves Sports Twin represents a rare opportunity to purchase a fine British lightweight with a unique history.

Registration : PK02 URP Chassis Number : ZD4RP00002S102254 Engine Number : R0959324 Odometer reading : 25,120 Estimate : £2,000 - £3,000 The Aprilia RSV Mille was manufactured from 1998 to 2003 and. offered in three versions, RSV Mille, RSV Mille R, and RSV Mille SP. The first RSV Mille (ME) was made from 1998 to 2000, the updated RSV Mille (RP) from 2001 to 2002 and the last update was made in 2003. With a 998cc, 60° V-twin engine built by the Austrian company Rotax, the RSV Mille was the first large displacement motorcycle made by Aprilia that up to then had made up to 250cc engines. This same engine was used unmodified in the Tuono and in slightly modified form in the SL1000 Falco. The Mille featured a type of slipper clutch which worked by using a vacuum on a closed throttle from the inlet manifold to give the effect of slipper clutch but only on a closed throttle. The first changes were made in 2001 when the fairing was restyled adding wind deflectors to improve airflow. The fuel tank was changed to a plastic item and the rear shock on both the standard and the 'R' models was revised. In 2002, the front brake calipers were changed to Brembo Monobloc four-pad callipers, each piston having a separate pad gave an increase in braking performance and feel. This hugely sporting machine has a number of modifications which just go to enhance the look and feel of this already stylish example. These include a number of carbon fibre sections and a more toned-down matt black paint work. It is also worth noting that this is the larger engined model with a 1000cc, V-twin motor and a Datatag electronic security system installed. Supplied with a V5 registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until May 2016, this striking and extremely rapid sports bike is now available for its next brave owner.

Registration : KBV 976 Chassis Number : R510236 Engine Number : MSS10949 Odometer reading : 2,734 miles Estimate : £7,000 - £8,500 Velocette is often seen as one of the 'high class' marques; something of a cut above the ubiquitous parallel twin and far more refined than the average single-cylinder. The 499cc MSS is a pleasant and practical sporting single. The later versions have comfortable suspension and a broad spread of torque making the MSS a relaxed ride over longer distances. From 1948 Velocette turned their attention to building the LE and discontinued the MSS but a re-worked 500 returned in 1954 with all the modern conveniences of the time. Its output of just 25bhp sounds modest but the MSS made the most of Velocette's excellent sprung frame which Cyril Ayton once described as 'virtually faultless'. Velocette's own telescopic front forks provided superb steering with fully-adjustable rear suspension provided by Woodhead-Monroe springs. The MSS looked smart, too, in gleaming black and gold with its fishtail silencer and slightly stepped dual saddle. Owned for just three years by the vendor, a Velocette specialist based in Lancashire and long-time collector of the marque, this is a fully restored example that took place some time ago and it now sports a lovely period patina. Described by the vendor as in good all round running order, including engine, gearbox and clutch etc. It also benefits from a freshly restored magneto. Much cared for, this is a desirable model and priced well. Interested parties should note that there is believed to be a slight blockage to the fuel line entering the carburettor.

Registration : ESL 356 Chassis Number : F4 34839 Engine Number : F4 34839 Odometer reading : 19 miles Estimate : £6,000 - £9,000 Introduced at the 1927 Motor Cycle Show, the ES2 sports roadster used the Model 18's overhead-valve engine in the cradle frame of the overhead-camshaft CS1 and from then onwards, the 'ES2' designation was always applied to Norton's top-of-the-range, overhead-valve single. Although originally launched as a sports motorcycle, throughout its long life it was gradually overtaken by more powerful models. It remained popular due to its reliability and ease of maintenance as well as the traditional design. From 1947, the ES2 had an innovative hydraulically damped telescopic front fork and race developed rear plunger suspension. From 1953 it had a single downtube swinging-arm frame and was up-rated to the Rex McCandless Featherbed frame in 1959 featuring an improved AMC gearbox, revised cylinder head, crankshaft-mounted Lucas RM15 60-watt alternator with coil ignition and an eight inch front brake with full width hubs. The wideline Featherbed-framed bike was road tested by The Motor Cycle on June 4, 1959 and found to have a mean top speed of 82mph with petrol consumption of 56mpg at 60mph. This 1951 Norton ES2 was subject to a ground up restoration in the mid 1990's and remained in a private collection until it was purchased by the vendor in 2013 who advises us that it has been fully maintained and is ready to be used on the road. Finished in the Norton International colours of silver and black, this ES2 is supplied with a V5C registration document and represents a proper classic motorcycle from one of the best known British manufacturers.

Registration : EAS477 Chassis Number : GA7.13974 Engine Number : DA10R 3566 HC Odometer reading : 6,270 miles Estimate : £7,000 - £10,000 Widely recognised as one of the most desirable of all factory built 'café racers', the Rocket Gold Star arrived in 1962 along with the first of BSA's new unitary construction range. A combination of Gold Star parts and the A10 Super Rocket 650cc twin-cylinder engine, this represented the last of the old 'pre-unit' line rather than a new departure and thus was destined to be built for eighteen months. The idea of making what was effectively a twin-cylinder Goldie originated with Banbury motorcycle dealer Eddie Dow, who had built up a considerable body of expertise in looking after BSA's high-performance single cylinder machines. Dow believed that his hybrid would bridge the gap between the end of Gold Star production and the introduction of new unitary construction sports models, and so it proved so. The Super Rocket engine's compression ratio was raised to 9.25:1 for the RGS and claimed maximum power increasing to 46bhp. But for some reason best known to BSA, the RGS frame was unique, although not that different from the production A7/A10 item, as was the wider dual seat. The model was offered in a number of different forms and with a host of options relating to controls and equipment. Motor Cycle tested a Rocket Gold Star in November 1962, summing up the new BSA as a 'scintillating high-performance road burner: good brakes, excellent rider comfort and docile traffic manners.' A top speed of 105mph was achieved. This BSA Rocket Gold Star 650 Replica was based on a 1961 BSA A10 Super Rocket. It was brought up to the Rocket Gold Star specification in 2006 when it was restored and included changing the mud guards, chain guard, fitting a new petrol tank and fitting the correct, cable driven twin instrument cluster. This excellent example is supplied with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate which expires in September 2015. Around 1,800 original Rocket Gold Stars were made over an eighteen month period and, today, genuine examples are rare and highly sought after. This is an opportunity to own the closest you can get to the original but at half the cost.

Registration : V550 DRU Chassis Number : CGVF400AAXV000167 Engine Number : F4000215 Estimate : £21,000 - £25,000 Introduced in 1998, the MV Agusta F4 was the motorcycle that resurrected the legendary name of MV Agusta. It was designed by Massimo Tamburini at the MV Agusta's famed Cagiva Research Centre in San Marino; Tamburini having been previously responsible for the design of the Ducati 916. The engine of the new MV, a liquid cooled in line four cylinder with double overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder, electronic multipoint fuel injection and induction discharge electronic ignition was designed to be made three different capacities; 749.5cc, 998cc and 1,078cc. It was influenced by the 1990-1992 Ferrari Formula One engine and is one of few production superbikes to feature a four-valves-per-cylinder engine with hemispherical combustion chambers. It is also unique in that it is the only motorcycle engine currently in production to feature radial valves, a feature taken from the Ferrari Formula One engine. Power output of the initial model, the750, was 126bhp at 12,500rpm, enabling it to reach a top speed of 170mph with 0-60 achievable in 3.1 seconds and a standing quarter mile in less than eleven seconds. The first F4 model released to the public was the F4 750 Serie Oro on May 1999, of which only 300 examples were produced and just twenty one of those imported into the UK. With the bodywork resplendent in the traditional MV Agusta livery of red and silver, many parts such as the swinging arm, frame side plates and wheels were made of magnesium and anodised gold - hence the name 'Oro' (Italian for gold). The fuel tank, fairing, seat cover, front mud guard and air box were made of carbon fibre which enabled the weight to be kept under 400 lb - an extraordinarily light weight for a road going superbike. The Showa front forks were specially made for MV Agusta and feature quickly detachable axle clamps while the rear suspension was manufactured by Sachs. Six piston (front) and four piston (rear) brake calipers were provided by Nissin. Contemporary road tests enthused over the F4's incredible handling, and were confident that the new MV would be a success, securing the future of the MV Agusta name. The F4 750 Serie Oro was considered to be one of the best sports bikes in the world at the time of its release and the bike offered here today is number 167 of the 300 produced. The vendor, a connoisseur of sporting motorcycles and competitor on the gruelling Paris-Dakar Rally, is the original owner, having been fortunate enough to be selected from the waiting list for the launch of the eagerly awaited new MV Agusta. The bike is in as-new condition, having covered a mere 1,200km from new and used for long trips only. For the past few years the MV has taken pride of place in the vendor's sitting room; perhaps the ideal storage conditions. UK registered from new, the MV comes with a V5C registration certificate and we are informed by the vendor that a full service will be carried out before the auction, coupled with a MoT test certificate. This is an exceptionally rare motorcycle and, as the first example of the revived MV Agusta, is sure to become very desirable and a true collector's item. It can, surely, only increase in value.

Registration : L807LSC Chassis Number : VV16968 Engine Number : VV18164 Odometer reading : 51,212 miles Estimate : £7,000 - £10,000 The Le Mans was Moto Guzzi's top sports bike in the 80s. The big bore version has enjoyed a fine and enviable reputation as a tried, trusted and proven motorcycle. The 948.8cc OHV V-twin four-valve per cylinder engine, with its longitudinally mounted crank and shaft drive is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a high-revving unit. The motorcycle offered for sale here has been restored over a five year period with excellent attention to detail and substantial financial investment resulting in this magnificent example. A brief description of the works included on this iconic classic is as follows; swing arm dismantled and parts renewed as necessary, front forks fitted with new seals, FAC of Italy air dampers and rear Koni shocks. Wheels refurbished and all bearings replaced, Bridgestone Battlax BT45R tyres fitted and brakes de-linked. New Brembo master cylinder, new hoses, disc carriers Zylan treated by Sandwell Sport of Towcester. Electrics rewired with Electrix generator, regulator/rectifier fitted, Lucas ignition and single wasted spark coils and an Odyssey extreme battery completes the electrical system. Geoff Baines of Baines Racing Silverstone, set up the engine with carburettors mounted on straight, purpose made inlets tracts. The sump is Zylan treated by Sandwell sport and the distributor cap has been specially CNC-machined in aluminium. The exhaust system has wrapped reverse cone megaphones and the alloy tank and 'dustbin alloy fairing' were both fabricated by a retired F1 mechanic paying homage to the earlier Moto Guzzi 500 V8 racer that astonished everyone in the late 1950's. The fairing mounts are of the F1 style quick-release fastener type making the removal of the fairing very quick and easy. The fairing incorporates the indicators plus an ingenious design utilising a projector headlamp. This Moto Guzzi Le Mans Mk. IV is a limited edition (83/100) and is a stunning bike that not only offers an attractive investment but would make a fantastic showpiece in any corporate reception area.
Lot 372
Registration : 318 SNO Chassis Number : 44112 Engine Number : 18016 Odometer reading : 78,483 miles Estimate : £2,500 - £4,000 The Bullet name was first given to Royal Enfield's sporting singles as far back as 1933 and post WWII, after the immediate calls for basic transport had been met, the desire for new sports models was apparent. In 1948 Royal Enfield debuted their new 350cc Bullet in the 1948 Colmore Cup Trial, causing a sensation as the bikes were fitted with swinging arm rear suspension, then unheard of for trials use. While unsuccessful on its initial appearance, the new model soon showed its form and Bullet mounted riders won gold medals later that year in the International Six Days Trial and were part of the winning British Trophy team. The Bullet followed Royal Enfield design conventions with its 'floating bush' big end and dry sump oil tank contained within the crankcase, intended to warm the oil more quickly than possible with a separate, externally mounted oil tank. Engine dimensions of 70mm x 90mm were the same as the cooking, all-iron Model G but with an aluminium alloy head fitted and an increase in compression ratio to 6.5:1 to give a power output of 18bhp at 5,750rpm. The Albion gearbox was mounted flush to the engine, rather than in conventional plates, to create a semi- unit construction with fixed chain centres and a new telescopic front fork of Royal Enfield's own design was fitted to create a most attractive and versatile motorcycle, as scrambles, trials and road racing versions were marketed alongside the standard road going Bullets. In 1953 a 500cc version joined the range. The bore size was increased to 84mm but the compression ratio lowered to 6.2:1 to give a useful increase in power output to 25bhp at 5,250rpm. Surprisingly the 500cc version sold in quite small numbers and is consequently a rare machine today. 1954 brought a major styling change with the introduction of the 'casquette', a die-cast alloy cowl which enclosed the top of the forks and also the headlamp and instruments while incorporating a small pilot light on each side. For 1955 dual front brakes were fitted within a full width hub and in 1956 a new all-welded frame was introduced which no longer featured a cradle under the engine. The tooling for the old type frame was shipped out to Madras, where Enfield had set up a subsidiary to produce the 350cc Bullet under licence which remained largely unchanged until relatively recently. More changes came in 1959 with the adoption of small seventeen inch wheels for the 350 in common with the new 250cc Crusader and in increase in power output to 20bhp thanks to an increase in compression ratio, a larger carburettor and new cams with higher lift. The 500 received a new large finned cylinder head which became known as the 'Big Head' but there were few changes thereafter until the Bullet was phased out in 1962, with the era of the sporting single coming to an end. This late type 1960 Bullet was fully restored from a basket case by a retired panel beater and had two further owners before being acquired by the current vendor. The Royal Enfield comes with a current V5C registration certificate and a VMCC dating certificate and is described as being ten out of ten by the vendor, who also informs us that the original Essex registration number was successfully re-issued following the restoration. The superbly presented Bullet offered here is an ideal machine with which to enjoy club events and will no doubt reward the new owner with many miles of enjoyable motorcycling.

Registration : BVU 815N Chassis Number : 10704422017473 Engine Number : 11798222023646 Odometer reading : 35,006 miles Estimate : No Reserve Introduced early in 1971, this impressive two-seater sports car replaced the 280SL. The body and chassis of the third generation SL was considerably heavier and longer than its predecessor but still showed a resemblance to them. The 3.5 litre, V8 engine underwent slight modifications to those being used on other models and the gear-shift lever was placed on the floor in the centre of the car. The standard transmission provided a top speed of 130mph and a very respectable 0-62mph in 8.8 seconds. As with the previous generation SLs, the vehicle came as an open roadster with removable hard-top and went on to become one of the longest running styles from Mercedes-Benz. A range of engine sizes were available, one of the more powerful options was the 4.5 litre unit. This very good, rust free 1974 Mercedes Benz 450SL Roadster was purchased by the previous owner in 1988 with only 6,000 miles on the odometer and has only covered 29,000 since, this is known to be correct by the collection of MoT test certificates which start in 1987. Fully serviced and maintained while in his ownership which he recorded in a book, making notes on the work carried out and the mileage. Finished in gold with a brown factory hard top, brown soft top and brown leather interior this 450SL is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in September 2015 and a history file containing registration documents, old MoT test certificates, maintenance record book and a number of invoices starting in 1988. These SL's offer all year round driving in comfort and style, this is an opportunity to own a nice example of these ever appreciating classics.

Registration : B288 BFJ Chassis Number : WDB1070422A026252 Engine Number : 008526 Odometer reading : 63,000 miles Estimate : £8,000 - £11,000 The Mercedes-Benz SL (Sport Leicht) has been in production since 1954 with perhaps the most influential model being the W113 Pagoda of 1963. This second generation evolved from the 230SL to 250SL, finally becoming the 280SL. The W113 was replaced by the W107 in 1971 and, as the engines became larger, the bodywork and weight of the cars also increased - as often happens in mid-life! The SL improved through the years with technical innovation but still managed to keep its fundamental character and identity of an up-market, quality sports car. Its reputation went from strength to strength and it was rare to see an episode of Dallas or Dynasty in the 1980's without an SL making a star appearance. The genius soft-top mechanism which folds down out of sight under a panel ahead of the boot lid gave the car a beautifully sleek, uncluttered appearance. Offered with beautiful and almost unmarked red coachwork, complemented by a near flawless biscuit trim, this great 280SL Roadster has covered just over 60,000 miles from new and has benefitted from a wealth of recent work which we are told includes a gearbox re-build and re-adjustment of the timing giving us an example that is ready for the summer and hopefully hours of motoring enjoyment. Accompanied by a valid MoT test certificate, a history file including recent services and a wealth of old MoT test certificates verifying the mileage and original owner's manual, this plucky 280 is a pleasure to drive with its lighter nose and should, in our opinion, see significant investment potential for years to come with other similar models on offer at double the price.

Registration : KLN 586D Chassis Number : B395005649HRO Engine Number : B395005649HRO Odometer reading : 19,494 miles Estimate : No Reserve The Sunbeam Alpine is a sporty two-seat open car launched in 1953 as the first vehicle from Sunbeam-Talbot to bear the Sunbeam name alone since the 1935 takeover of Sunbeam and Talbot by the Rootes Group. Ken Howes and Jeff Crompton were tasked with doing a complete redesign of the Alpine in 1956 with the goal of producing a dedicated sports car aimed principally at the US market. Ken Howes contributed some 80% of the overall design work and, throughout its production cycle, the Alpine was manufactured in four subsequent revisions through to 1968. The Series V Alpine was produced from 1965 through to 1968, the final version having a new five-bearing 1725cc engine with twin Zenith-Stromberg semi-downdraught carburettors producing 93bhp. The previous owner of this Alpine restoration project bought the car from Hounslow, West London some 10 years ago and during his ownership spent considerable time and money on its preparation. This included a full bare-metal re-spray to its current condition as well as many other repairs and parts to the tune, reportedly, of over £8,000. The current owner has also contributed extensively to its restoration including new door cards, front and rear seats (all new) in excellent condition. He was also unhappy with the standard Sunbeam replacement floor-pans and so had new, heavy duty, items made, under-sealing as he went providing a more long-term future for the car. He also sourced many new items from a Sunbeam supplier in the Midlands and all parts for this car are either new (as in the hood) or original and in good order. The car drove into the garage prior to striping and so the engine and drive-train are thought to be 'up and running' although some light re-commissioning may be required. The majority of the hard work has been taken care of and so, given a Philips screwdriver and some patience, many of the remaining parts can simply be re-affixed. An extremely accessible light restoration project that could easily be ready for this summer...

Registration : TSY 247 Chassis Number : AR 1495 02814 Engine Number : AR 1315 50407 Odometer reading : 43,950 km Estimate : £26,000 - £30,000 We are delighted to offer this Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider which, according to the Alfa Romeo Historic Archive in Arese, Milan, was manufactured on 19th November 1957 with the original body colour of white, and was sold on 21st March 1958 in Melegnano, Milan. Today, this Giulietta sports red coachwork, a change from its original white, and carried out sometime in its earlier life. On inspection, it appears straight and rust free and although applied some years ago, the finish still looks smart. The engine bay is finished in black and gives away the original colour in places. Mechanically, the original 1290cc engine has been replaced with a later 1290cc Berlina block (a common change in period) mated to the standard four-speed gearbox. An early, rare and sought after cylinder head is fitted and fuelled via twin DCO3 sand cast Weber carburettors. As the historic racing fraternity knows, these carburettors are in very high demand and if a set can be found. The engine is also of interest in that it has an early cylinder head with the fuel pump located and driven off the exhaust camshaft. The chrome work does require some renovation and the wheels look original and untouched. Looking inside, the interior is in good condition and the hood, on removing it from its stowage, operates correctly and is in good order. A large history file accompanies this Giulietta and includes early Giulietta Register club magazines, many magazine articles and cuttings with road test reports from Autocar, Motor and Road and Track and an original Alfa Romeo spare parts catalogue. A large quantity of invoices and notes from its early days in the UK also give a fascinating insight into the car, including records from the well known Alfa Romeo racing driver of the period, John Dooley of Brookside Garage. It also benefits from an MoT test certificate valid until 9th September 2015. The Giulietta's V5 records the car as having first been registered in October 1996, and in fact the car has been in long-term ownership since then. However a sales invoice from 6th December 1974 suggests the car has been in the UK since 1974; as does a letter from Alfa Romeo (Great Britain) Ltd dated 21st June 1976, stating that the car is to Spider Veloce configuration. If you can look past this Spider's imperfections, you should be able to see a fabulous and rare, pre 1960, short wheelbase Giulietta that all too infrequently comes onto the market.
Lot 153
Registration : 463NCG Chassis Number : T825029DN Engine Number : VS2150-9 Odometer reading : 24,786 miles Estimate : £44,000 - £50,000 Although having a family resemblance to the XK120 and XK140, the XK150 was radically modernised. A one piece windscreen replaced the split screen and the wing line no longer dropped as much over the doors. The bonnet was widened, opened down to the wings and, on the roadster, the bulkhead was moved back four inches to make the bonnet longer. In the interior, the XK140's walnut dashboard was replaced by one trimmed in leather and chrome. On the early drophead coupés, an aluminium centre dash panel with an 'X' pattern engraving was fitted which looked similar to the early 3.8 litre, E-Type, whilst thinner doors gave more interior space. The four-wheel Dunlop 12" disc brakes appeared for the first time although it was theoretically possible to order a car with drums and either wire wheels or disc wheels could be specified. Suspension and chassis were very similar to that on the XK140. These were high performance, well-appointed sports touring cars capable of 137mph and 0-60 in 7.8 seconds and accomplished long distances with alacrity. This rare righthand drive XK150S Coupé is fitted with the 3.4 litre engine and overdrive gearbox. This two-owner car from new was purchased by the vendor in 1965. Fully maintained and serviced by the vendor in his own workshop, this XK150S is in excellent mechanical condition; it starts easily and runs very well. The car has been re-painted while in his ownership and is finished in British Racing Green with the original brown leather interior. This Jaguar XK150S is supplied with a V5C registration document, an old V5 document, the buff log book and MoT test certificates going back to 2003 which show how little mileage this car has covered in the last twelve years. Righthand drive XK Jaguars from this period are very sought after and collectable - particularly the rare 150S model -and it is even rarer to find an unrestored example in such good condition.

Registration : SGK492V Chassis Number : ZFFAA02A2A0033415 Odometer reading : 55,682 miles Estimate : £36,000 - £42,000 The 308GTB was launched at the Paris Motor Show in 1975 and was built alongside the 308GT4, designed as a replacement for the 246 Dino. Designed by Leonardo Fiorvanti, the man who styled some of the most iconic Ferraris including the Daytona, the new 308 was a rakish and attractive body which fused classic elements of Ferrari styling with a thoroughly modern design. For the first two years of production, the body of the 308 was produced in fibreglass, after which, steel was used. The 308 shared a similar tube frame chassis to the original Dino and 308GT4; with four wheel, double wishbone independent suspension. Although Ferrari had used fuel injection for a number of his single-seater and sports racing cars, it had been considered too complex and precarious for use with road cars. As time went by, the technology improved until, in 1979, fuel injection was introduced on the 400GT. Perhaps the ousting of Weber artistry was inevitable not only from an engine development point of view, but also to help in meeting the increase demands of the legislators. Whatever the reasons, it became Ferrari policy to introduce fuel injection on all production models. For the 308 Ferrari chose to stay with the Bosch K Jetronic system. It was available on the US specification 308s around the middle of 1980, but not until some months later on the European models. Along with the introduction of fuel injection, there was a switch to Marelli Digiplex electronic ignition and the gearbox was modified. Outwardly, there was little to distinguish these cars from those that have gone before. The 'I' on the back denotes the use of injection and twin tailpipes either side of the silencer box, but this was not infallible as twin exhausts had also been used on high-performance options. Imported from the USA in July 1998, this 1980 Ferrari 308GTSi was originally supplied in Rosso Corsa but was repainted in 2011, changing the colour to Giallo Fly- the very attractive Ferrari yellow. The interior is in its original black leather and it comes with a black removable roof. The car has been in a private collection and was taken off the road in 2006 before being returned and re-commissioned in 2013 by a top UK Ferrari specialist, QV London based in Windsor, Berkshire. It has recently been serviced, including having the cam belts replaced by the same company. This Ferrari 308GTSi is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in May 2016 and a small file containing old MoT test certificates and copies of invoices from 2013 and the recent service. The 308 model is one of the most classical shapes produced by Ferrari in the 1980s and good value as Ferraris continue to rise in value and desirability.

Registration : UOA597L Chassis Number : 9113101941 Engine Number : 6133726 Odometer reading : 43,000 miles Estimate : £54,000 - £59,000 The original Porsche 911 was introduced in Autumn 1963 and manufactured until 1989. It was succeeded by a modified version, internally referred to as Porsche 964, but still sold as Porsche 911, as are current models. Mechanically, the 911 was notable for being rear-engined and air-cooled and, from its inception, the 911 was modified both by private teams and the factory itself for racing, rallying and other types of competition. The original 911 series is often cited as the most successful competition car ever, especially when its variations are included; namely the powerful 911-derived 935 which won the 24 Hours du Mans and other major sportscar races outright against prototypes. The 911T was the first Porsche to receive the new Bosch K-Jetronic or CIS engine (Continuous Injection System) from January 1973 onwards. Often referred to as 1973 1/2, these T models produce 140bhp and also boast the newer type standard H pattern (915) gearbox which, in tandem, provide a smooth yet powerful engine and are great fun to drive. This lefthand drive, matching numbers, 1973 Porsche 911T coupé with electric sunroof was sold new by McPeak Porsche/Audi in Walnut Creek, California and has a complete history going back to then, even including the original windscreen sticker. The last owner purchased it from the fifth owner in 2013, with the last three owners all members of the Porsche Club of America and all of the previous owners spending substantial sums maintaining this car. One in particular decided to upgrade the engine to virtually 'S' specification and on file an invoice confirms the $20,000 engine rebuild and upgrades undertaken. At the same time, the car was lowered with Bilstein sports suspension and a Dansk stainless dual outlet exhaust was fitted. In 1997, a Porsche Owner's Club 'purchasing check list' was carried out and the car scored 97%, remaining in the same condition today. Last year the car was sent to Tuthill Porsche for a full inspection and major service and evidently, no expense was spared in the preparation; £6,000 was spent with Tuthill's ensuring that the car is absolutely on the button and ready to enjoy. All invoices and inspection reports, which report no mechanical or body defaults, are in the history file and Tuthill's reported that it is a very good car. The car has been previously repainted in the original metallic blue and the black interior is in excellent condition. This 911T is supplied with a V5C registration document and a file containing all the invoices and inspection reports.

Registration : BHJ 242J Chassis Number : 8086 Engine Number : 40380 Odometer reading : 95,561 km Estimate : £45,000 - £55,000 Lamborghini wanted to include a four seat, grand tourer to the model line-up which included the Miura and the 400GT; this came to fruition in the Spring of 1968 when the Espada was exhibited at the Geneva Salon. A very distinctive design by Marcello Gandini of Bertone, it was radical in appearance yet extremely practical. The name 'Espada' means 'sword' in Spanish, referring to the sword that bullfighters use to kill the bulls. With 150mph performance from the 3.9-litre, V12 engine, five speed gearbox, chassis-mounted rear axle and all-independent, coil spring suspension, the car was built as a high performance supercar. The interior was altered dramatically between each model. An all new dashboard and steering wheel was installed for the S2 and the interior was again revamped for the S3. This lefthand drive Series Two Espada was manufactured on October 1st, 1970 and benefits from being one of the last Series Two's to be built with the glorious Muira centre spinner Campagnolo wheels, and the Series One rear lamps. It was delivered on October 15, 1970 to Lamborauto of Turin and sold to Ms. Zutinic Radmila who owned the car until 1972. The second owner, Roberto Jaime Gourlay, purchased the car in Turin in 1972 and was working as a buyer for the Canadian Forces Exchange Stores in Lahr, Germany. He had a Department of National Defence driver's licence and was able to register the Espada with the Canadian Forces and not with the German TUV and so the car had DND Canadian licence plates in Germany. When Roberto departed Lahr and set up business in Frankfurt, he had to change the Canadian (CDN) plates for German duty free plates and continued to enjoy the car. He then went to work in Spain where the authorities let him drive the car on tourist plates as long as he held a valid work and residence permit. When the permit ended however, the Spanish authorities insisted he had to register on Spanish plates and demanded a considerable fee. At this point, he decided to leave Spain within the week and drove back to Germany. His intention was to sell the Espada but as the German economy was not in good shape, he drove it to the UK where the car was sold to a wealthy horse dealer and saddler, Kenneth Lyndon-Dyres, of Maidstone, Kent. It was first registered in the UK on 10th May, 1976 having had four owners by this time. It was then shipped to California with the intention of selling but did not meet the emission regulations and so was shipped back by a Don Kay of Croydon who bought it in the USA. It was then acquired by a Michael Percy of Piddington, High Wycombe on 23rd September 1980. We believe it was owned by him until 1986 at which time, the engine dropped a valve and the car was bought by Thoroughbred Sports Cars, Whitney, Oxfordshire. The engine was removed and the body re-painted from Azzurro Mexico (light blue) to red. It then remained with the engine out until the vendor decided it was time to rescue her and bought the car on 10th February, 1989. David Eaton had wanted an Espada since first seeing the car in magazines in the late 60's and had joined the Lamborghini club in 1988. Being just 44 inches high (the car not the vendor), and so long and wide, this spectacular four-seat shape had completely hooked him. It is important to note that the decision to buy was based on being able to see the body shell and chassis were rust free and a desire to rebuild a Lamborghini V12. It took seven years to take the car back to bare metal and then two-pack the complete underneath (still in excellent condition) as well as rebuild the suspension and, of course, that fabulous V12 engine. The engine has the original pistons and bores but was rebuilt with new rings, chains, shells, and gaskets at 77,000km. The paint you see has been on the car since 1986. She was back on the road in 1996 and has clocked-up approximately 18,000 trouble free kilometres. More recently, she has been back to the factory for the Murcielago launch in Germany and numerous trips up and down the UK. It has also been to the 50th anniversary timeline in London and the Silverstone Classics 2013 and 2014. But after 26 years of ownership, a difficult decision was made to sell her; as another classic racing car project beckons. Presented with a full year's MoT test certificate and a new set of Pirelli tyres, it is with a heavy heart that one man's passion is now available.

Registration : FIB8801 Chassis Number : ZFFSA17JAP0076215 Engine Number : 11638 Odometer reading : 24,700 miles Estimate : £72,000 - £82,000 Ferrari unveiled the new Testarossa at the 1984 Paris Motor Show marking the end of production of the Boxer, the car that had been the flagship 12-cylinder Ferrari model for the previous ten years. Styled by Pininfarina, the Testarossa paid homage to the great 50s sports racer that originally bore the name, simply translating as 'Red Head'; the rocker covers being painted red. The mid-engine, rear wheel drive configuration allowed the center of gravity to be positioned in the middle of the car, with a weight distribution ratio of 40% front and 60% rear, thus achieving excellent cornering and road holding ability. The Testarossa was produced with 16'' five-spoke 'Star' alloy wheels and disc brakes fitted all round; with 309mm discs at the front and 310mm discs at the rear. The Testarossa was larger than its Boxer predecessor; six inches wider and some 2½ inches longer which allowed more leg room. In addition, the temperature inside the cockpit was reduced as twin radiators were mounted in the rear; unlike the Boxer, where the single front mounted radiator had plumbing from the bonnet to the engine behind the seats, which made the cabin very hot, especially on a warm day. The distinctive side vents were as useful as they were visually striking, allowing excellent engine ventilation, whilst contributing to the car's unique styling. This truly excellent 1988 Ferrari Testarossa was imported from Japan in 1998 and has been in two private collections since, the current vendor having purchased the car in 2012. Whilst in his ownership, it has been maintained by well-known Ferrari specialists based in Berkshire who have undertaken the most recent work to the car; a cam belt service and MoT test, in May 2015. This Ferrari Testarossa is finished in 'Nero Metallico' with black leather interior and is supplied with a V5C registration document, MoT test certificate valid until May 2016 and some recent invoices. Ferraris from this period have become very collectable with superb examples such as this one are becoming harder to find making them a great investment as they will continue to increase in value.

Registration : WGU710F Chassis Number : 815431014274 Engine Number : 702425 Odometer reading : 6,800 Estimate : £9,000 - £12,000 Launched in 1961, the Flavia saloon maintained Lancia's enviable reputation for advanced and innovative automotive engineering. Designed by Antonio Fessia and inspired by his Cemsa prototype of 1947, the Flavia was Italy's first series-production car to employ front-wheel drive. Carried well forward of the front wheels, the engine was a 1,488cc, overhead-valve, horizontally-opposed, four-cylinder unit; suspension was independent at the front and by beam axle at the rear and there were dual-circuit, servo-assisted disc brakes all round. The saloon was joined by the shorter-wheelbase Pininfarina-styled coupé in 1962, the latter providing the basis for a convertible version by Vignale. An attractive four-seater sports car. This extremely handsome Flavia coupé was first registered on 28th December 1967 and is fitted with the more desirable 1800cc fuel injected engine. The blue coachwork is in good condition and is complemented by a burgundy interior, also in very good condition. We are advised WGU 710F drives very well, although the vendor has asked us to point out that the clutch judders and may need some attention. A good history file is supplied, along with a V5 registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 5th September 2015. This righthand drive Lancia is a very good, thoroughly useable example, offering grace and style all in one.

Registration : Unregistered Chassis Number : SCEDT26T4BD007199 Engine Number : N/A Odometer reading : 24 miles Estimate : £34,000 - £39,000 When John Z. DeLorean stepped down from his position as the general manager of Chevrolet in 1973, it was widely reported that DeLorean 'had fired General Motors'. Always ambitious and willing to try new things, the talented salesman and engineer was planning to go his own way with a new sports car, one that would be more technically advanced and have superior safety features. He called it 'the ethical sports car-for the bachelor who's made it'. Built in Northern Ireland, under an agreement with the British Government, the DMC-12 was styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro, of Italdesign. It featured distinctive gullwing doors and outer body panels of brushed stainless steel over a rear-engined, Renault-powered chassis and suspension that was largely based upon the Lotus Esprit. Colin Chapman, founder of Lotus, was then brought in to resolve any engineering issues. The first 500 production DeLoreans were ready for shipment in April 1981 and, at first, the model was a smash success, mainly due to its founder's fame and innovative design. Unfortunately, the success cooled quickly and the DeLorean Motor Company filed for bankruptcy in late 1982, after John DeLorean's well-publicised arrest on drug trafficking charges. He was eventually acquitted but it was too late to save his dream. Some 9,200 DeLoreans had been built with approximately 6,500 still in existence worldwide today. Originally supplied to the USA, this unique vehicle is the last DeLorean DMC built in 1981. It is unique in that it only has delivery miles on the clock, a total of 24 miles. It has never been registered or driven on the road. It certificate of origin paper work shows that it was transferred by the DeLorean Motor Company to the DeLorean dealer in Newark, New Jersey USA on June 10th 1982 where it stayed locked away at the dealership until the present owner purchased it in November 2000 and shipped it to the UK where it was again locked away and stored in a warm dry garage for the next 15 years. The car is so unique it still has the factory fitted delivery and EPA stickers attached to the front windscreen. The vehicle comes complete with the original battery, tyres, wheels, owner's manual, tool kit etc. The car has had no modifications except to keep the fluids and oils fresh and the tyres maintained at factory pressures. This DeLorean is supplied with the certificate of origin, the C61 BTI customs form showing the BTI reference number needed for the NOVA certificate and a copy of the shipping invoice. This is an icon of the 1980s and probably the only DMC12 with delivery mileage in the world; a unique opportunity to purchase what can only be describe as motoring art.

Registration : 418YUJ Chassis Number : S836019DN Engine Number : V6384-8 Odometer reading : 51,843 miles Estimate : £38,000 - £44,000 Although having a family resemblance to the XK120 and XK140, the XK150 was radically modernised. A one piece windscreen replaced the split screen and the wing line no longer dropped as much over the doors. The bonnet was widened, opened down to the wings and, on the roadster, the bulkhead was moved back four inches to make the bonnet longer. In the interior, the XK140's walnut dashboard was replaced by a leather trimmed unit. On the early drophead coupés, an aluminium centre dash panel with an 'X' pattern engraving was fitted which looked similar to the early 3.8 litre E-Type. It was discontinued after June 1958 and thinner doors gave more interior space. The standard engine, the same as fitted to the XK140, was the 3.4 litre DOHC Jaguar straight six rated at 180bhp at 5750rpm but most cars were fitted with the SE engine that had a modified cylinder head with larger exhaust valves rated at 210bhp at 5500rpm. Twin 1.75-inch SU HD6 carburettors were fitted. Four-wheel Dunlop 12" disc brakes appeared for the first time although it was theoretically possible to order a car with drums. Either wire wheels or disc wheels could be specified and the suspension and chassis were very similar to that on the XK140. These were high performance, well appointed sports touring cars and could cope with long distances with alacrity. This excellent lefthand drive 1959 Jaguar XK150 Fixedhead Coupé was imported to the UK from Minnesota, USA in 2011 just after having a 'ground-up' restoration. On arrival to the UK, the car was taken to Barry Shean Jaguar Specialists in Romford, Essex who checked the car throughout and carried out a full service. Finished in old English white with contrasting red leather seats and matching red carpets, this XK150 Fixedhead Coupé is supplied with a V5C registration document, a copy of the Minnesota title certificate and copies of the customs import documents. These XK150's are very usable and often overlooked, but their time is approaching and it will be the prudent investor that has one or two of these tucked away.

Registration : OC4023 Chassis Number : J3719 Engine Number : XPAG9378 Estimate : £24,000 - £29,000 Derived from the first MG Midget, the M-Type, and introduced for 1933, the two-seater J2 established the classic MG look which would characterise the Abingdon marque's sports cars into the 1950s. With its deeply cutaway doors, fold-flat windscreen and fixed cycle-type mudguards, it revealed its race-bred pedigree in every line and set the British sports car fashion for many years. This new Midget was given the factory designation 'J2' and it was announced simultaneously that a new super-sports 'J3' model and a racing 'J4' would quickly follow. The Midget's 847cc, overhead-camshaft, Wolseley-derived engine was coupled to a four-speed gearbox and housed in a simple chassis frame featuring half-elliptic springing all round and cable-operated 8" diameter brakes. Thus equipped, the lightweight J2 possessed exemplary handling and steering by the standards of the day, and was good for 65mph. In total, 2083 of the two-seater versions were produced between mid-1932 and early 1934 and today the J2 is one of the most sought after of pre-war MG sports cars. This J2 was purchased by the vendor in 2010 from the estate of Philip Lomax; an avid classic car collector in whose ownership, this MG was fully restored in the 1980's. Fitted with an XPAG engine, gearbox and updated MG TA hydraulic brakes, high torque starter and alternator for rallying, this car is ready to be used and enjoyed. For those collectors who wish to put this car back to the original specification it is supplied with an M-type engine in bits, including engine block number 10781A, two heads, crankshaft and a number of new parts including pistons, bearings and con rods. Finished in two-tone mid and dark Brunswick green with red interior, this J2 is also supplied with a V5 registration document, a buff continuation log book from 1958 and various invoices for recent mechanical work amounting to several thousands of pounds. This is 1930's driving at its most enjoyable.

Registration : J301RBR Chassis Number : SAJJN4EC3CA176483 Engine Number : 9DPAMA194283 Estimate : £13,000 - £16,000 The Jaguar XJS was a luxury grand tourer produced from 1975 through to 1996 and replaced the E-Type. Although it never had quite the same sporting image, the XJS was actually more aerodynamic with the last one being produced on 4th April 1996; at that stage 115,413 had been produced during a 21 year production life. Originally, power came from the Jaguar V12 petrol engine with a choice of a manual or automatic transmission but the manual was soon dropped. V12 engined cars were unusual at the time with notable exceptions coming from Italian luxury sports car makers Lamborghini and Ferrari. The specifications of the XJS compared well with both Italian cars; it was able to accelerate to 60mph in 7.6 seconds and had a top speed of 143mph. This superb Jaguar XJS has only had one owner and has only covered just 10,500 miles from new. The owner of Plymouth Argyle football club saw this car on display in a Reg Vardy dealership in the North East of England; liked it and vowed that he would buy it if his team won that afternoon, which it did and the rest is history. Finished in red with magnolia hide seats, piped in red and with black carpet, it is fitted with special, very rare optional extra Lattice alloy wheels with red centres. This XJS is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in April 2016 and in the handbook pack is the service book which shows that it has been regularly serviced and maintained. An exceptional Jaguar which is certainly becoming regarded as a modern day classic.

Registration : J513SPG Chassis Number : 053 Engine Number : 140B707000041933 Estimate : £35,000 - £40,000 The Ferrari P series were prototype sports cars in the 1960s and early 1970s. Although Enzo Ferrari resisted the move even with Cooper dominating F1, Ferrari began producing mid-engined racing cars in 1960 with the Ferrari Dino-V6-engine Formula Two 156, which would become the Formula One winner of 1961. Sports car racers followed in 1963. 1967 was a banner year for the Enzo Ferrari motor company as it saw the production of the mid-engined 330 P4, a renowned V12 endurance car meant to replace the previous year's P3. Only four Ferrari P4-engined cars were ever made; one P3/4 and three 330 P4s. Their three-valve cylinder head was modelled after those of Italian Grand Prix-winning Formula One cars. The famous German designer Luigi Colani commissioned the first P4 replica built in 1977 by Noble Motorsport in Leicester. A steel space frame was used and the reliable Renault 3.0 litre, V6 engine linked to a five-speed transaxle giving the power and speed for use on the track also. The fibreglass body has been produced with careful attention to detail and the result is a faithful copy of the original car built in the 1960s. A fun and exciting evocation of the great original with desirable looks and still manages to turn heads today. This Noble P4, number 053, was built in 1992 and purchased by the previous owner in August 1995; a design director of Ford Motor Company. Correspondence and receipts from Neil Foreman of NF Auto Development indicate that it was upgraded to the latest specification of the time, including wishbones, reinforced chromed steering arms, shock absorbers and springs along with a new radiator and cooling fan during 1998. Sliding side windows were fitted in July 1999 to complete the new build, now sporting a redesigned front end. The all-alloy 2.7 litre, fuel injected V6 Renault engine, coupled with the five-speed gearbox provides suitable power for the light weight space frame construction and the upgrades have enhanced the drivability and usability. Documents show that in 1995, it was purchased with a mileage of 4,595. An invoice from Alan Collins Performance Car Specialist in 1997 then records the mileage at 4,639. It was then stored privately in Germany for at least ten years and it appears that the odometer stopped working at some point during this period; however, we are informed that it has been subject to little use since then. Purchased by the vendor two years ago to join his collection of Ferraris, he found he was unable to import the car to the USA allowing us to offer it today. This Noble Ferrari 330 P4 is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in September 2015 and a large history file which includes the original build manuals, letters of new part conformity for registration, wiring diagrams and drawings. Due to the great fame, sleek appearance and absolute rarity of the original, most of us can only aspire simply to enjoy a hand-crafted and bespoke built P4 replica, similar to the exceptional car offered here. This real xxxxxx is on the button and ready for a new owner to enjoy.

Registration : EDU 296C Chassis Number : B947215IHROFE Odometer reading : 39,666 miles Estimate : £18,000 - £22,000 Inspired by the AC Cobra that was effectively the British AC Ace sports car powered by the large American Ford 4.2 litre V8; the Sunbeam Tiger first saw the light of day in 1964. Based upon the Rootes Group, Sunbeam Alpine, the Tiger with the Ford power plant slotted into the engine bay became what is surely a true motoring 'wolf in sheep's clothing'. Precise handling was retained by keeping the Alpine's rack and pinion steering with knock out performance due not only to the muscle V8 but also the lightweight Alpine shell. This unique Tiger has a very interesting past and when first registered on 10th February1965as EDU 296C to Humber Ltd, the supplying dealer, there were already plans afoot to have the car used initially as a press car as can be found in May 1965's edition of Sporting Motorist. When ownership was transferred to K.S Advertising of London in 1966, the car was featured in the 1965 movie 'Bunny Lake is Missing' starring Noel Coward. The car, which was initially blue, was heavily filmed and is indeed part of the final scene but given that a copy of the movie is in the history file we wouldn't want to give that ending away. The Tiger then, for some 15 years, had a more regular ownership until the late 1970s when the vendor at the time decided that he would restore and re-spray the vehicle with an important change from the original 4.2litre V8 to a larger 4.7litre, (289ci) V8 engine of which extensive details can be found in the history file. The current vendor came to learn about the car in 2006 and approached the then owner, at which time he was informed that the car had been Dyno tested at 330bhp and would be capable of 140mph- though was advised not to try! The current owner has since gathered much information on this important car and has used it sparingly only having covered less than 3,000 miles in the last 14 years. Accompanying the car is a fantastic history file with original buff log book, original bill of sale and spec sheet, original sales brochure, a copy of the Sporting Motorist from 1965 which featured EDU 296C and even a DVD copy of the movie this car starred in. Like in any Tiger, the V8 sound track is amazing and the torque on this specific car is definitely something to experience. Having had a recent MoT test which expires May 2016, a wealth of recent bills, electric ignition fitted alongside a Sebring exhausts and uprated fan, this car is truly unique and part of Sunbeam's motor history.

Registration : FPA 353V Chassis Number : GAN6-224546G Engine Number : 73960 Odometer reading : 12,493 miles Estimate : No Reserve In terms of bang for your buck, there can be little to compete with the MG Midget. Its spirited engine, the open and direct driving experience and, with the later models, more reliability, comfy seats and, if you're lucky, a working heater if required. The charming example presented here today is a bit of a rarity as it has only covered a handful of miles in its entire life. Just over 12,000 to be precise and for a mass produced and hugely popular sports car, this is unusual. The first owner appeared to have not only owned it from new but also has driven almost all the miles that are recorded. Mrs. Mackenzie then bequeathed it to the RSPCA on the Isle of Wight who kept it for a further four years. In fact, between 1995 and 2011, just 150 were covered as backed up by Harwoods service history printouts. Most of which were going to and from Harwoods where it was regularly MoT'd and serviced. The RSPCA then sold it on via the Island Auction Rooms to the vendor who has also covered only a few hundred miles. Enclosed within the history file are bills detailing basic service items as well as a new radiator, V5C and an MoT test certificate valid for 12 months. Complete also with hood bag and tonneau cover, this Midget is, quite simply, in great condition.

Registration : J50 AUL Chassis Number : WPOZZZ94ZMN430514 Engine Number : 42MD1571 Odometer reading : 90,763 miles Estimate : £5,500 - £8,000 The Porsche 944 was built from 1982 to 1991 and was built on the same platform as the 924. The 944 was intended to last into the 1990s but major revisions planned for a 944 S3 model were eventually rolled into the 968 instead which replaced the 944. The 944 was a successful model and was available as both a coupé and cabriolet in naturally aspirated and turbocharged forms. In mid-1985, the Porsche 944 underwent significant changes. These included a new dashboard together with new door panels, embedded radio antenna as well as some mechanical changes. Also included was a larger fuel tank, optional heated and powered seats, Porsche Hi-Fi sound system and revisions in the mounting of the transaxle to reduce noise and vibration. The numbers built, reflecting the popularity of the model, made it one of the most successful cars in Porsche's history. Registered to a specialist in London, the last keeper owned this good-looking car since 1996. Presented in classic Porsche Guards Red with black Logo Linen sports seats, the overall condition is good, it has recently had full body strip-down and repaint with undercarriage and arches resealed and all brakes replaced including discs and pads all round. Not only that but it benefits from a major service including all oil filters, plugs and coils. The alloy wheels have been stripped and refurbished, a replacement clutch fitted 2,500 miles ago and a cambelt replacement undergone within the last 5,000 miles. The most recent service took place within the last 200 miles with service records coming from Porsche specialists and Porsche themselves. Everything works as it should with power hood operating up and down in record time. Included are the correct and original leather handbooks, service booklet and both keys. A full V5C registration document and new MoT test certificate can be found within the history file making this example a sound and unmodified 944 S2 with a total use of less than 9,935 miles recorded in last seven years.

Registration : TBC Chassis Number : CT68492L Odometer reading : 110,000 km Estimate : £10,000 - £15,000 Produced between 1961 and 1967, the Triumph TR4 combined a new, modern and aggressive body design by famed Italian stylist, Giovanni Michelotti, with the basic chassis of the previous TR3A. The TR4 also improved passenger comfort with wind-up windows, face-level ventilation and an optional hardtop. The 2,138cc engine of the late-production TR3A continued while the 1,991cc engine was also made available to buyers who wanted to participate in two-litre racing. When equipped with the optional overdrive, the TR4 was good for a top speed of almost 110mph. The TR4A debuted in 1965 and introduced an all-new independent rear suspension system which provided exceptional rear-wheel camber control with excellent wheel travel, while softer springs improved the ride quality. Some 28,465 TR4A roadsters were produced between 1965 and August 1967 and of those, 75% were equipped with the new IRS, including the car offered here. Today, the four-cylinder TRs are among the easiest of post-war classic sports cars to own and maintain, being supported by a multitude of component suppliers and other specialists. This TR4A was imported from North Carolina in the United States and presents extremely well with both the resplendent green paintwork and brightwork in very good order. The black leather upholstery is equally good due to an earlier restoration and indeed, a look underneath the car is enough to inspire confidence in the quality of this example and the previous workmanship. Currently awaiting the V5 registration document from the DVLA which is expected prior to the auction, the vendor explains that this is a lovely drive and is sure that it is a future classic. Please note: Contrary to the catalogue which has been amended the car has NOT got Independent Rear Suspension

Registration : 611 YUB Chassis Number : J595103059 Odometer reading : 46,000 km Estimate : £38,000 - £42,000 General Motors designer Harley Earl loved sports cars and was influenced by the GIs bringing home MGs, Jaguars, Alfa Romeos and the like after hostilities ceased in Europe in 1945. Even the small independent carmaker, Nash Motors, began selling a two-seater sports car in 1951. Earl convinced GM that they also needed to build a two-seat sports car. Earl and his Special Projects crew began working on the new car later that year which was code named 'Opel'. The result was the 1953 Corvette taking its name from the corvette, a small, maneuverable fighting frigate and was unveiled to the public at that year's Motorama Car Show. The first Corvettes were virtually hand-built in Flint, Michigan in Chevrolet's Customer Delivery Center. The outer body was made out of a revolutionary new composite material called fiberglass, selected, in part, because of limiting steel quotas left over from the Korean War. Underneath that radical new body was standard Chevrolet components including the 'Blue Flame' in-line six-cylinder truck engine, two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission and drum brakes from Chevrolet's regular car line. We are delighted to offer this classic 1959 V8 Corvette Roadster, described as being in excellent condition throughout. The coachwork is presented in the classic Signet Red with white coves and complemented by a matching white and red interior. This breath-taking example was restored in the 1990s and the condition today reflects the quality of that restoration. It is believed that during that restoration the original three-speed manual gearbox was converted to four-speed, resulting in the Corvette being much more useable, especially in traffic. We understand that the car originated from Arkansas where it had only one owner before being exported to a motor museum in Athens. Imported from Greece into the UK in 2010, the Corvette has a UK V5 registration document and a current MoT test certificate. Within the history file can be found various invoices, an owner's manual and US Certificate of Title document from Arizona. A fabulous piece of American automotive engineering that only awaits a lucky new owner.

Registration : VGM 60K Chassis Number : 9111101195 Engine Number : 6112016 Odometer reading : 11,700 miles Estimate : £30,000 - £40,000 The original Porsche 911, with its famous, distinctive and durable design was introduced in the Autumn of 1963 and built until 1989. Mechanically, the 911 was notable for being rear engined and air-cooled. From its inception, the 911 was modified both by private racing teams and the Porsche factory itself for racing, rallying and other types of automotive competition. The original 911 series is often cited as the most successful competition car ever, especially when its variations are included; mainly the powerful 911-derived 935 which won 24 Hours du Mans and other major sports cars races. The 1972-1973 models all got a new, larger 2341cc engine. This is universally known as the '2.4L' engine, despite its displacement being closer to 2.3 litres; perhaps to emphasize the increase over the 2.2 litre engine. The new power ratings were 130hp for the T, 165hp for the E and 190hp for the S. In March of last year, all Porsche main dealers received an invitation from Porsche GB in Reading. The challenge was to source an original air-cooled car, strip it, restore it and present it, fully restored, at the Classic Car Show at the Birmingham NEC to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the production of the flagship car, the 911. After much soul-searching and time spent in the small ads and on various well-known internet based auction websites, Porsche Centre Brooklands found and bought two cars - a 911 Carrera Targa and this 911T. Eventually the Carrera received the treatment from the fastidious workshops whilst the T was 'rested' - the reasoning being that the Carrera was thought to be a more viable project given the time frame allowed. The overall condition of the 911T reflects the time spent unused - over the last 28 years just two owners are recorded with the last valid tax disc showing 1988. The panels, in their original Viper Green, will need repair or replacement; however, the interior is complete and in reasonably good condition, it even has the correct (and extremely hard to find) steering wheel. The matching engine rotates and shows good oil pressure but does not fire as it is missing its distributor. The car, overall, requires a full restoration but the important question to ask is, how often do opportunities like this come along? A complete and original 911T, ready for restoration and most certainly worth it. Interested parties should note that a video exists showing the engine cranking, during which it was observed that the oil pressure light went out indicating good pressure.

Registration : NOW868F Chassis Number : CP/ 2267 Engine Number : CP/ 2867 Odometer reading : 32,851 miles Estimate : £34,000 - £37,500 The Triumph TR5 was manufactured for just 13 months, from August 1967 through to September 1968 and is the most sought after of the Michelotti /Karmann-styled Triumph sports roadsters, combining the most elegant early looks with all-independent suspension and the best engine. Optional extras included overdrive, wire wheels and the Surrey top with detachable roof panel. Visually identical to the Michelotti-styled TR4, the TR5 hid its main differences under the body and the most significant of these was the engine, the first British production sports car unit to feature petrol injection. The 2,498cc straight-six used Lucas' new indirect injection system to develop 150bhp. It's the TR5 that aficionados seek out as the most attractive and collectible of the series. Supplied with a British Heritage certificate, this righthand drive (home-market) car comes with the desirable extras of overdrive and wire wheels. It is in its correct and original colour of Wedgwood Blue with a black interior and left the factory on May 20th 1968 to be delivered to dealers, Sparshatts of Southampton. The previous, long term, owner purchased the car fifteen years ago and carried out some restoration work to the car, including the fitment of a new clutch as well as a gearbox and overdrive unit overhaul in 2001, since when the car has covered an average of only 500 miles each year. The car is presented in excellent order with very good panel fit. There is a substantial history file with the car which includes previous MoT test certificates, copies of previous V5 registration certificates and a number of invoices. Prospective buyers should be aware that at some point in the car's history there has been an engine change and that the odometer stopped working at 32,851 miles.This rare and desirable Triumph comes with an MoT test certificate valid until September 2015 and a V5C registration certificate has been applied for.

Registration : PMB262B Chassis Number : BC148XC Engine Number : 74CBC Odometer reading : 70,003 miles Estimate : £95,000 - £110,000 Bentley's magnificent Continental sports saloon has been synonymous with effortless high speed cruising in the grand manner since its introduction on the R-Type chassis in 1952. With the arrival of the final (S-Series) generation of six-cylinder cars in 1955, the Continental lost a little of its individuality but none of its exclusivity and this trend continued after the arrival of the V8-engined S2 in 1959. Eulogising about Bentley's newly introduced 'S' Series cars, The Autocar had written, 'the latest Bentley model offers a degree of safety, comfort and performance that is beyond the experience and perhaps even the imagination of the majority of the world's motorists.' Introduced in the autumn of 1959, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 appeared externally unchanged from their Silver Cloud and S-Type predecessors, though their performance was considerably enhanced by the new 6,230cc aluminium-alloy V8 engine. Power-assisted steering was now standard and there was no longer the option of a manual gearbox, Rolls-Royce's own four-speed automatic transmission being the sole offering. The Bentley Continental was, exclusively a coachbuilt car, the firms of H J Mulliner, Park Ward and James Young all offering bodies on the Continental S2 chassis. By far the most striking of the S2 Continentals were those bodied by Rolls-Royce's in-house coachbuilder Park Ward and this design by Norwegian Vilhelm Koren, with its influential continuous front-to-rear wing line, would continue on the Continental S3. Quad headlamps were the S3's major styling innovation and on the H J Mulliner, Park Ward-bodied Continental were contained in slanting nacelles giving rise to this model's 'Chinese Eye' sobriquet. Recently restored, this Bentley S3 is in delightful condition. The deep rich racing green coachwork is a colour synonymous with the marque and the olive leather interior is unmarked. The highly figured walnut dashboard is almost a work of art with a fantastic collection of dials, switches and knobs, the ergonomics of the cabin space of this Bentley really is something special. The quality of this 'Chinese eye' Bentley has to be seen to be appreciated and viewing is highly recommended. Supplied with a V5 registration document, a current MoT test certificate and a history file.

Registration : 938 YUT Chassis Number : 674336 Engine Number : F1121-8 Odometer reading : 258 miles Estimate : £95,000 - £110,000 The Jaguar XK120 was manufactured between 1948 and 1954 and was Jaguar's first post-war sports car succeeding the SS100, which ceased production in 1940. It was launched in roadster form at the 1948 London Motor Show as a test bed and show car for the new Jaguar XK engine and caused a sensation persuading William Lyons to put it into production. The '120' name referred to its top speed which made it the world's fastest standard production car at the time of its launch. It was available in two convertible versions; first as a roadster then also as a drophead coupé from 1953 and as a fixedhead coupé from 1951. The iconic shape of the Jaguar XK120 roadster sustains the car's constant appreciation by classic car enthusiasts. They are eminently usable motorcars and understandably much coveted. Extremely robust, wonderfully reliable and infinitely eye-catching; they are, understandably, one of the most collectable motorcars available today. Manufactured on 24th November, 1953 and dispatched to the Jaguar dealer in Los Angeles, the car was repatriated in 2003 in need of restoration. The body was removed and the car totally rebuilt mechanically including the fitment of a five-speed gearbox, disc brakes all-round and an electric cooling fan. The body was then restored to a high standard and the interior re-trimmed using top quality leather. The net result of this significant investment is a Jaguar that can be used regularly and one that will enjoy being driven with both ease and enthusiasm, as confirmed by our enjoyable road test. Supplied with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate and a V5 registration document, this is altogether a brisk, handsome and well-sorted motorcar with entirely thoughtful improvements to vastly enhance the overall driving experience.

Registration : JMV611K Chassis Number : 1S1794SA Engine Number : 7S1794SA Odometer reading : 46,710 miles Estimate : £24,000 - £28,000 The Jaguar E-Type was 10 years old and needed new life. History repeated itself by achieving huge success when Jaguar debuted its robust new engine in a sportscar instead of the saloon for which it was designed. Despite its sportscar heritage, Jaguar depended on saloon vehicles for its survival and had developed its twelve cylinder engine to power them with sufficient torque and refinement. Larger and softer in nature with weight redistributed 53/47, the Series III had lost the wilds of its youth but gained the long legged touring profile to which it was arguably better suited. Robert Bell in Motor was quoted as saying at the time that 'all we expected to try was a new engine but what in fact we drove was a new car. Not a yowling, aggressive Ferrari-like machine with which, perhaps, most people associate a V12 engine but a very smooth, quiet and refined grand touring sports car.' This two owner Series III fixedhead coupé was supplied new to the first owner, Mr. A H Gordon, who lived in London. The next owner, Mr. R H Reeves, acquired the car in April 1976 who then changed the registered keeper to his daughter in 1994. This very good, original example has been off the road since 2000 and has just been re-commissioned this year only requiring a new clutch master cylinder, fuel filters, ignition coil and new pedal springs. The vendor believes that the mileage is correct at 46,710 miles and the old MoT's, the 2000 insurance valuation certificate and the overall condition of this E-Type appear to validate that claim. This Series III E-Type, finished in Cotswold blue with dark blue interior, only requires minor cosmetic restoration. Supplied with the car is the V5C registration document, all the old registration documents going back to 1976, the handbook pack which contains the service book and dealer book, a set of the original sales brochures and a file of old MoT test certificate and invoices. This classically dynamic design is still a head turner.

Registration : T370HPP Chassis Number : WPOZZZ99ZXS604283 Odometer reading : 103,000 Estimate : £8,500 - £11,000 The Porsche 996 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 model- manufactured and sold between 1998 and 2005. On its debut, the 996 featured the most significant changes to the Carrera model since its 1963 introduction, namely the water-cooled engine replacing the previously air-cooled unit. Progressively stringent noise regulations, environmental concerns, a higher expectation for refinement and a high-performance, four-valve-per-cylinder engine made the switch necessary. Other changes included a sleeker body with a more steeply raked windshield and a re-designed interior. This Porsche 996 Carrera 4 Coupé was originally registered on 5th May 1999 and has been exceedingly well maintained. The current vendor is a very knowledgeable Porsche enthusiast who knows the importance of caring for such a car. This C4 is fitted with a tipronic gearbox, sports exhaust and 18" alloy wheels that have been recently refurbished and shod with N4 Pirelli PZero tyres. The silver coachwork is virtually unblemished and the grey leather trim is in excellent order. Electric front seats and an electric sunroof, together with air conditioning are fitted to this well-equipped Porsche. Benefitting from a recent service including changing the coil pack and spark plugs, this Carrera Coupé is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate valid until 2nd September 2015 and a substantial history file. It is worth noting that included within the history file is an invoice for a replacement engine costing over £6,000 in 2011. This car offers superb value for money, considering the estimate.

Registration : WCL 488L Chassis Number : KE14537 Engine Number : KE011443HE Odometer reading : 4,732 miles Estimate : £5,000 - £7,000 A fastback Spitfire powered by the 2000 saloon's two litre, six cylinder engine, the GT6 arrived in October 1966 with production running until 1973. Like the Spitfire, it inherited what was essentially the Triumph Herald's chassis and running gear which had already proved capable of handling six-cylinder power when developed for the Vitesse saloon. A comfortable ride was considered vital for the all-important North American market so the GT6 inherited the Herald/Spitfire's softly sprung rear swing axle though the latter arrangement would be superseded by lower wishbones on the GT6 Mk. II. At the same time the engine received a power boost courtesy of the TR5 cylinder head and 'hotter' camshaft, maximum output increasing from 95 to 104bhp. The restyled, last-of-the-line, Mk. III adopted the contemporary Spitfire's simpler 'swing-spring' rear suspension. Brisk performance (100mph+) and stylish, the GT6 well deserved its 'mini E-Type' sobriquet and today, is one of the most sought after of post-war Triumph sports cars with only 13,042 Mk. III examples manufactured. Originally registered on 15th September 1972, this GT6 is a sound example although a little light re-commissioning is required. The 1998cc engine starts and runs well and we are advised she drives well. These stylish sports-cars have become highly sought after of late and an example such as this represents an ideal opportunity to obtain one at a reasonable cost. The bodywork shows little sign of corrosion although the interior would benefit from some time and investment. Supplied with a V5 registration document, this Triumph could well prove to be a fine investment.

Registration : R874TKE Chassis Number : SARRDWBTCWD025520 Engine Number : 18K4KJ89 537563 Odometer reading : 110,000 miles Estimate : No Reserve The MG F was launched in the autumn of 1995 by the Rover Group, making it the third all-new car to be launched in its first full year since the BMW takeover. It was powered by a 1.8 litre, K-Series 16-valve engine, the basic having 118bhp, while the more powerful VVC (variable valve control) had 143bhp. Rover Special Projects oversaw the development of the F's design and before finalising the styling, brought in third-party contractors to determine the most appropriate mechanical configuration for the new car. The MG F quickly shot to the top of the affordable sports car charts in Britain and remained there until the introduction of the MG TF in 2002. Originally registered on 15th August, 1997 this MG F drives well and has benefitted from having a new modified head gasket to eliminate any overheating issues. Finished in metallic red with magnolia leather trim piped in red, this MG F is described as being fun and sporty to drive and supplied with a V5 registration document, a current MoT test certificate, the original service books and a number of invoices/receipts.

Registration : CRX 503M Chassis Number : HS30103162 Engine Number : tbc Odometer reading : 71,898 miles Estimate : No Reserve The Nissan 240Z was the first generation of the GT two-seat coupés from 1969 to 1978. Dealers soon had long waiting lists for the 'Z'. Its modern design, relatively low price and growing dealer network compared well to other foreign sports cars of the time. The series I launched in 1970 with the Series II in 1971 with minor design changes in-between. This unusual example has been modified and could, given some light re-commissioning prove to be an effective racing car. A cam-tail has been added together with a louvered bonnet and enclosed headlights. Under the bonnet lies Chevrolet V8 mated to a B&M floor shift automatic gearbox. A Kenlow fan and oil cooler has also been fitted and it presents in vibrant orange.

Registration : CK-955-2K Chassis Number : WP0ZZZ92ZKS841223 Engine Number : 2012EJ51772 Odometer reading : 158,955 miles Estimate : £6,000 - £9,000 The Porsche 928 was a front-engined sports-GT sold from 1978 to 1995 and was an immediate hit with demand in the UK far outstripping supply. Originally intended to replace the company's iconic 911, the 928 attempted to combine the power, poise, and handling of a sports car with the refinement, comfort, and equipment of a luxury saloon to create what some Porsche executives thought would be a vehicle with wider appeal than the compact, quirky and sometimes difficult 911. The 928 qualified as a 2+2, having two small seats in the rear which could be folded down to enlarge the luggage area and both the front and rear seats had sun visors for occupants. Porsche's design and development efforts paid off during the 1978 European Car of the Year competition where the 928 won ahead of the BMW 7-series and the Ford Granada. The body, styled by Wolfgang Möbius under guidance of Anatole Lapine, was mainly of galvanized steel but the doors, bonnet and boot were made of aluminium to save weight. Polyurethane elastic bumpers were integrated into the nose and tail and covered in body-coloured plastic; an unusual feature for the time that was intended as both a styling feature and to reduce drag. In 1980 the 928S was introduced with a larger 4.7 litre engine and wider wheels and tyres. The new engine produced an output of 320bhp and there were significant styling changes which gave the car a cleaner, sleeker look. The 928 S4 automatic offered here was originally supplied to a German customer and was later sold to a French owner from whom the current vendor purchased it one year ago. The Blue Pearl paintwork is in excellent condition and the car has been regularly serviced as shown by the two service books which come with the car. New cam belts, distributor cap and plug leads have been recently fitted as well as a new windscreen, battery and tyres. A new set of wheels was fitted two years and the car is fitted with an optional battery isolator switch. On the road the car drives well with the automatic gearbox changing ratios smoothly and the engine shows good oil pressure. The Porsche has a new MoT test certificate and is presently on NOVA certification with duty having been paid. It is clear that the Porsche 928, in particular the later versions, is rapidly gaining classic status and good examples are now becoming hard to find. The car offered today, in spite of its relatively high mileage, has been well looked after and must represent a sound yet practical investment opportunity based on its attractive estimate.

Registration : VUX 144S Chassis Number : FH103321 Engine Number : FM083964HE Odometer reading : 40,853 miles Estimate : £6,000 - £8,000 The Triumph Spitfire was originally devised by Standard-Triumph to compete in the small sports car market, which had opened up with the introduction of the Austin-Healey Sprite. Triumph's idea was to use the mechanicals from their small saloon, the Herald, to underpin the new project. Italian designer, Michelotti was commissioned for the new project and came up with a traditional, swooping body, as well as a single-piece front end which tilted forwards to offer unrivalled access to the engine. It was a huge success and four subsequent variants ensued. The latest of which was the Mk. IV, complete with a 1500cc engine, a top speed of 100mph and 0 to 60 mph reached in 13.2 seconds. The last one ever to be produced was never used and now resides in the Heritage Motor Museum at Gaydon. This delightful Spitfire 1500 has been restored and presents in splendid condition. The red coachwork is unmarked, as is the black interior with 'chequered centre panels' on the seats and wooden dashboard. We are advised "she drives as good as she looks" with no known faults. Fitted with manual transmission together with an overdrive unit, this Triumph is best categorised as a modern classic. The styling is typical of a car designed in the 60's, although this example is a perfectly useable sports car which is straightforward and easy to maintain for an enthusiast. The current vendor has owned VUX 144S since 2010 and, due to lack of use, feels the time is right for this 37 year old friend to be passed on to a new owner.

Registration : 631M SPH Chassis Number : 13031 Engine Number : A73063146 Odometer reading : 46,845 miles Estimate : £5,500 - £7,500 Following the demise of the Austin-Healey 3000, Kjell Qvale, the largest Austin-Healey dealer in the US, was keen to find a replacement sports car to market in America. As a major shareholder in Jensen Motors who had built the bodies of the Austin-Healeys, Qvale was instrumental in opening discussions with Donald Healey regarding collaboration with Jensen Motors for his next project. Healey was appointed Chairman of Jensen Motors in 1970 and work started on the design of what was to be the last car to bear the famous Healey name. The Jensen-Healey was designed as a joint venture by Donald Healey, his son Geoffrey, and Jensen Motors. It was the hope that Healey would contribute the sense of style that made the Austin-Healey so successful. Colin Chapman of Lotus offered to help and Jensen accepted his company's new 1,973cc Lotus 907 engine, a 2.0 litre, DOHC, 16-valve all-alloy powerplant. This multi-valve engine was the first to be mass produced on an assembly line and produced a power output of approximately 144bhp, sufficient for a top speed of 119mph and acceleration from 0-60mph in 8.1seconds. Cars built for sale in Europe were fitted with two side-draft twin-throat Dell'Orto carburettors while those exported to the United States had dual side-draft single throat Zenith Strombergs in order to meet emission requirements. An oil cooler was fitted soon into the production run. Suspension was simple but effective with double wishbone and coil springs at the front, and a live rear axle with trailing arms and coils at the rear, all adapted from the Vauxhall Firenza. Disc brakes were fitted at the front while drums sufficed for the rear. This 1973 Jensen-Healey was resprayed in 1999 but is otherwise understood to be in original condition and comes with a substantial history file. We are informed by the vendor that the car will be serviced and the Dell'Orto 40mm carburettors balanced prior to the auction. Recently repatriated from France, the car comes with a V5C registration certificate, French registration documents and a fresh MoT test certificate. The example offered here would no doubt benefit from some cosmetic attention but nevertheless is ready to drive now and will provide enjoyable summer motoring.
