1991 JAGUAR XJS 5.3 LITRE CONVERTIBLE XJS REG NO. & REPUTEDLY 56,000 MILES Estimate £5000 - 6000 Registration Number J777XJS Chassis Number 170545 Engine Number 85075394SB Engine Capacity 5343 Paint Colour WHITE Trim Colour MAGNOLIA MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. Launched in 1975, Jaguar's XJS was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. More of a soporific grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, it was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads. To this end, it was equipped with automatic transmission as standard. Though, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post 1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all round independent coil-sprung suspension and power assisted rack and pinion steering as its fixed head coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.Finished in gleaming white with blue-edged magnolia leather upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in "good" (interior trim, electrical equipment, wheels / tyres) or "very good" (engine, automatic transmission, chassis, bodywork, paintwork) condition. Reportedly benefiting from full service history up until 52,500 miles, the Jaguar is believed but not warranted to have covered a mere 56,159 miles from new. Further understood to have had just two registered keepers, the appropriately registered 'J777 XJS' sports "a dark blue mohair hood, matching mohair hood cover and winter 'hood up' cover". Riding on correct-type lattice alloy wheels, it is hoped that this "excellent luxury summer tourer" will possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. While other items set to accompany the car include the aforementioned service history, a current road tax disc (valid until August 31st 2007) and Jaguar tool box / kit.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle comes with an MOT certificate until February 2008.

1960 JAGUAR XK150 FIXED HEAD COUPE OLDER RESTORATION FITTED WIRES & O/DRIVE Estimate £13000 - 15000 Registration Number 4757 DU Chassis Number S825220DN Engine Number V7507-8 Engine Capacity 3442 Paint Colour WHITE Trim Colour RED MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. Sensation of the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show, Jaguar's new XK sports car set a level of performance and roadability which no other manufacturer could come close to at the price. This ensured that with steady development the basic XK design was able to last in production for 13 years whilst still remaining class competitive. The final development of the XK line was the 1957 introduced XK150. In line with the changing tastes of customers, particularly in the all important US market, the XK150 was more luxurious and comfortable than its XK140 predecessor whilst still retaining its essential sports car performance and driving characteristics. Initially powered by the 3442cc 6-cylinder engine of its predecessor, this was joined in late 1959 by a 3781cc unit and 'S' models from 1958 with straight port heads produced 250 bhp. Available in Drophead Coupe and Fixed Head Coupe bodystyles on introduction, these were joined by a Roadster in October 1958 and the XK150 was produced until 1961 when Jaguar were to set the world alight again with the launch of the XK150's replacement - the E-Type.The 1960 right hand drive 3.4 litre Fixed Head Coupe offered for sale here today is finished in white with a red leather interior and has four speed with overdrive gearbox. Showing 70,500 miles, a figure the vendor believes but doesn't guarantee to be correct this car is described as 'an older restoration'. We are told by the vendor that the engine and chassis are 'very good', electrics, paintwork, bodywork, transmission and wheels/tyres 'good' and interior 'fair'. Described as 'very sound mechanically, starts and runs well with good oil pressure' this 'usable Jaguar XK' rides on wire wheels. We are also told that the car will have a current MOT at the time of sale.PLEASE NOTE: The photograph used is of a similar vehicle.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle comes with an MOT certificate until February 2008 and has a problem with the clutch.

1960 JAGUAR MK2 3.8 LITRE RESTORED / UPGRADED AT A COST OF £95,000 Estimate £40000 - 45000 Registration Number JAZ 2222 Chassis Number 214320BW Engine Number LA72748 Engine Capacity 3800 Paint Colour MET. BLUE Trim Colour BLUE MOT Expiry Date NOV 2007 The result of a painstaking restoration / upgrade programme by Classic Coachbuilders of Sittingbourne (Kent), 'JAZ 2222' is described by the vendor as being "probably the best MK2 Jaguar in the world". Using a left-hand drive 1960 Jaguar MK2 3.8 litre Automatic as a donor vehicle, the ambitious project was completed in 2000 and cost an amazing £95,357.55. Thoroughly stripped, the sports saloon was treated to an uprated four-wheel disc brake system, modified suspension (front coils, dampers, anti-roll bars) and power-assisted rack and pinion steering as well as being converted to right-hand drive. Finished in Metallic Blue, external cosmetic enhancements saw it fitted with halogen headlights, front / rear foglamps, Coombs-style rear wheelarches and 6.5in chrome wire wheels shod with Avon radial tyres. Supping unleaded, its overhauled 3.8 litre DOHC straight-six engine boasts an oil cooler, auxiliary fan, electronic ignition, alternator charging system and stainless steel exhaust system. Allied to Getrag five-speed manual transmission, it provides suitably authoritative performance. In addition to S-Type seats trimmed in blue leather, the interior also benefits from a modern stereo, air-conditioning, satellite navigation, cup-holders, keyless central locking, illuminated glovebox / luggage compartment and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. Protected by an immobiliser and Tracker system, 'JAZ 2222' is thought to have completed just 5,193 miles since work was completed. A truly exceptional motor car, it is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until November 9th 2007 and historic class (free) road tax until December 31st 2007.

1957 ELVA MK II SPIDER SPORTS RACING CAR GOODWOOD, MILLE MIGLIA & HGPCA ELIGIBLE Estimate £48000 - 55000 Registration Number N/A Chassis Number 100/40 Engine Number Engine Capacity 1100 Paint Colour ALLOY Trim Colour RED MOT Expiry Date N/A Conscious that his Goodwood results aboard a modified CSM racer had not gone unnoticed, local garagiste Frank Nichols decided to make the jump from competitor to constructor in 1955. Operating from premises in Bexhill-on-Sea (East Sussex), the resultant Elva Engineering Co was soon challenging the likes of Lotus, Cooper and (later) Lola. Known for the lightness and agility of its products, the nascent firm quickly developed a loyal American following. Introduced in early 1957, the Elva MKII Sports Racer was somewhat more sophisticated than its predecessors. Based around a tubular spaceframe chassis, the newcomer was equipped with independent double-wishbone front suspension, a De Dion back axle, coil-over springs and rack and pinion steering. Providing reassuring stopping power, its Alfin drum brakes were mounted outboard at the front but inboard at the rear (thus reducing unsprung weight). Although, customers could choose their own drivetrains many opted for a Coventry-Climax engine and the ubiquitous MG four-speed manual gearbox. Typically clothed in lightweight aluminium, the MKII rode on centre lock wire wheels. Finished in bare aluminium with red upholstery, this particular 'Bobtail' example is described by the vendor as being in "good" condition with regard to its 1100cc Coventry-Climax engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork and wheels / tyres. Supplied new to the USA, chassis number '100/40' is said to boast period "SCCA history". While, more recent outings have seen it competing with the VSCCA at Lime Rock, Watkins Glen, Poconos and Mt Tremblant etc. It was last serviced in August 2006 by KTR Motorsports in Boston and all the bills for the restoration and race preparation for this car ($54,822 has been spent from 2004 to the present day) as well as the VSCCA Log book, photos etc are included in the history file. Thought to be potentially eligible for such prestigious events as the Mille Miglia and Goodwood (not to mention the HGPCA's Pre-1959 Drum Brake Sports Car Series), this enchanting Elva is worthy of close inspection.

1957 JAGUAR XK150 SE FIXED HEAD COUPE CONVERTED FROM LHD & EXTENSIVELY REBUILT Estimate £25000 - 30000 Registration Number ASL 414 Chassis Number S834857DN Engine Number V2207-8 Engine Capacity 3442 Paint Colour WHITE Trim Colour BLACK MOT Expiry Date DEC 2007 The final iteration of the XK sportscar line and the last Jaguar to carry a separate chassis, the XK150 was introduced in May 1957. While its use of independent torsion bar front suspension, a 'live' leaf sprung rear axle and rack and pinion steering mirrored the practice of its XK140 predecessor the new model benefited from all round Dunlop disc brakes. Stylistically, it was brought up to date with less ostentatious curves and a larger, wrap-around single piece windscreen. The dashboard too was altered eschewing wood trim for padded leather. With the E-type still very much under development, Jaguar was keen to sustain the sporting reputation that five remarkable Le Mans victories had earned it (1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957). To this end, the XK150 could be had in both 3442cc and 3781cc guises and to normal, 'SE' or ultimate 'S' specification. With power outputs ranging from 190bhp for the base 3.4 up to 265bhp for the highly-tuned 3.8S performance was always an XK150 strong point. Equipped with four-speedmanual gearboxes as standard, even the 'slowest' versions were reputed to be good for circa 130mph.Finished in white with black leather upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in "very good" (four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox), "excellent" (3442cc engine, electrical equipment, wheels / tyres), "as new" (interior trim) or "perfect" (bodywork, paintwork) condition. Apparently supplied new by Jaguar Cars of New York, 'ASL 414' is said to have undergone an extensive rebuild at the hands of BAS Ltd, Carmichael Sports Cars and J.D. Classics etc (though, the latter firm were only responsible for converting it from left- to right-hand drive). A desirable 'Special Equipment' model as denoted by the 'S' prefix to its chassis number, this highly presentable XK150 is offered for sale with restoration bills / photos, MOT certificate valid until December 8th 2007 and historic class (free) road tax valid until December 2007

1984/89 ELSWICK DUNSMORE TWO SEATER SPORTS ONE OF A SMALL NUMBER OF SPECIALS BUILT Estimate £13000 - 15000 Registration Number UAG 858 Chassis Number B2064 Engine Number BH2517235 Engine Capacity 3000 Paint Colour ALFA RED Trim Colour BURGUNDY MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. Not a name that will be familiar to most people, the Elswick Dunsmore is the creation of a Mr Bill Hines of Dunsmore-on Stretton. Styled loosely in the manner of a 1929-35 period Alfa Romeo Sports, but not it must be emphasised an exact replica, the Dunsmore was a handbuilt special of which between 14 and 16 are thought to have been made. The Dunsmore is however unusual in that no 2 cars are thought to have been exactly the same.This particular car was built for an Isle of Man resident in 1989 who unfortunately died soon afterwards. Its second owner lived on the south coast and he kept the car until 2004 when ill heath forced the sale of car to the vendor, who himself is only selling the car as he is moving overseas. Powered by a 3000cc 6-cylinder Vauxhall engine with 4 speed manual gearbox, we are told that this example has covered only just over 4,500 from new, a figure that the vendor guarantees to be correct. Finished in bright red with what is described as a 'leather look' interior in burgundy this right hand drive car sits on wire wheels. Described variously by the vendor as 'good' (engine, transmission, paintwork), 'very good' (electrics), 'excellent' (bodywork) and 'superb' (interior, chassis) we are told that the car received a set of new 18" wheels and tyres in 2005 in order to complete the correct period look. Having lived all its life in a warm garage we are told, the car will be presented to the sale with a renewed MOT certificate.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle now comes with an MOT certificate until February 2008.

1930 ALVIS SILVER EAGLE SPECIAL 'THE GREEN CAR' WINNER 1938 'IMRC GP' WITH MICHAEL MAY Estimate £60000 - 70000 Registration Number GC 5151 Chassis Number 8731 Engine Number 8307 Engine Capacity 2511 Paint Colour GREEN Trim Colour BROWN MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. There can be few cars - regardless of marque - which are known by the colour of their paintwork but one such is 'The Green Car'.Arguably the most successful competition Alvis ever, 'The Green Car' was supplied new via Henlys of London to Philip Fotheringham-Parker on March 17th 1930. Although, originally intended to be a Cross & Ellis bodied Silver Eagle SA 16.95 (2148cc) Four-Seater Sports Tourer, an accompanying copy Works Guarantee Card reveals that the sportscar was fitted with a 15.72hp (1991cc) engine prior to despatch (a change which allowed it to compete in the 2-litre rather than 3-litre class at events). The first of just six Silver Eagles to carry the 1991cc unit in period, its specification thus mimicked that of the three Alvis cars which contested the 1930 Brooklands Double Twelve Race.An amateur racing driver of some note who would go onto pilot an ERA and Maserati 4CL, Fotheringham-Parker campaigned 'The Green Car' at Brooklands during both 1931 and 1932 collecting one 1st, one 2nd and two 3rd places for his troubles. Lucky to escape an incident during one of the 1932 Mountain Circuit Races when a seized differential sent 'The Green Car' flying over the Brooklands banking, he sold the noticeably bent but surprisingly intact Alvis to Dr Bobby Beaver shortly thereafter.Claiming to have taken no longer to reach the French Riviera aboard his suitably repaired charge than the Blue Train, Dr Beaver ran the Silver Eagle at La Turbie hillclimb before returning to England. Purchased from the good doctor by its most famous custodian, Michael W.B. May, on Whitsun 1933, 'The Green Car' spent the next six years being relentlessly honed. Having had the original 'flight damaged' chassis replaced by the Alvis Service Depot in Chelsea's Jubilee Place, May set about extensively modifying / improving the car's bodywork, brakes, steering and handling.Although, the 2-litre unit had proven sufficient to win gold in a MCC High Speed Trial and scale Shelsey Walsh in 49.09 seconds, May sought more power. To this end, he turned to his friend and fellow Alvis racer Antony Powys-Lybbe (the two were paired for the 1934 and 1935 Ards International TT) who supplied him with sufficient parts to construct a larger 19.82hp (2,511cc) straight-six. Converted to dry-sump lubrication and tuned by the Brooklands-based race preparation specialist Robin Jackson, this latter unit developed some 120bhp and oodles of torque.Far more than just a Circuit Queen, 'The Green Car' participated in a wide variety of Speed Trials, Hillclimbs and Reliability Trials. Though, its performances at the likes of Donington and Brooklands were impressive, May claiming two 1st, four 2nd and two 3rd places as a result of his numerous trips to Weybridge. Credited with lapping the Outer Circuit at a highly impressive 113.97mph during a handicap race on September 24th 1938, the Silver Eagle was also present at the last ever Brooklands meeting (where it competed as number '10' in race nine).However, its finest achievement was undoubtedly winning the IMRC's 75-mile 'Grand Prix' handicap race at Phoenix Park on September 16th 1938. By posting an average speed of 88.03mph (an increase of 10mph over the previous year's victor), 'The Green Car' not only left its MG, Frazer-Nash and LERA rivals trailing but also secured the coveted Wakefield Trophy. Interestingly, Henry Birkin had only been able to average 84.09mph around Phoenix Park when he won the Eireann Cup aboard an Alfa-Romeo 8C 2300 in 1931.Revelling in its abilities as a fast road car, Michael May kept the Alvis long after he had hung up his racing goggles. Acquired by the well known Brooklands' enthus

1926 ALVIS 12/50 TE WIDE 2/3 SEATER BEAUTIFULLY ORIGINAL & HIGHLY DESIRABLE Estimate £15000 - 18000 Registration Number TW 3090 Chassis Number 4363 Engine Number 4717 Engine Capacity 1645 Paint Colour GREEN/BLACK Trim Colour MAROON MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. Introduced in August 1923, the 12/50 was responsible for placing Alvis firmly on the motor manufacturers' map. Relentlessly honed by chief engineer Capt. G.T. Smith Clarke, it went on to become one of the quintessential Vintage sports cars offering quite exceptional roadholding and performance for its class. Briefly discontinued in 1929 when Alvis placed all its eggs in the front-wheel drive basket (FWD FA - 8/15 models), it was hurriedly reintroduced during September 1930 and is widely credited with saving the marque. Built around a super-strong 9ft 4.5in wheelbase platform chassis frame, the 12/50 TE featured all round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, cable-operated drum brakes and high-geared steering box. Powered by a torquey, free-revving 1645cc OHV four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed (right-hand change) crash gearbox most variants were capable of some 75 - 80 mph. Rugged, versatile and brimful of character, the 12/50 enjoys a special place in many enthusiasts’ hearts. Finished in green over black with maroon leather upholstery, this particular example wears 2/3-seater touring coachwork by Cross & Ellis (its wide, three-place front bench being augmented by two extra pews in the dickey). Exhibiting a pleasing patina, 'TW 3090' is thought to have been maintained and repaired as necessary rather than ever having undergone extensive restoration. Entering the current Alvis aficionado ownership in 1994, the 12/50 has since been treated to two 'top-end' engine rebuilds (though, we are informed that the unit's 'bottom-end' would likely benefit from some attention in the next year or so), a replacement 3rd/4th gear selector fork (a known weak point) and the 2002 refurbishment of all four wings. Of Alvis manufacture and therefore not subject to the same fatigue cracks suffered by the Marles equivalent fitted to later cars, its steering box has also been recently overhauled. In the past few years, this sturdy and reliable car has competed in many VSCC rallies, driving tests and Inter-Register events. The most outstanding achievement has been to enter, and finish, Le Jog (the Lands End to John O'Groats Reliability Trial) no less than four times including three outings as part of the Marque winning Team - the Alvis Hares in 1995, 1996 and 1997.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle now comes with MOT until February 2008.

1992 JAGUAR XJS 5.3 LITRE CONVERTIBLE SUPPLIED NEW BY STRATSTONES MAYFAIR Estimate £6500 - 7500 Registration Number K5 DMC Chassis Number SAJJNAOW3EN181752 Engine Number 85084528SJ Engine Capacity 5344 Paint Colour SIGNAL RED Trim Colour BARLEY MOT Expiry Date FEB 2008 Introduced in the autumn of 1975, the XJS replaced the immortal E-Type on the production lines and in the Jaguar catalogue. However, it was in many respects not a direct replacement for the E-type being much more of a sportily styled long distance inter-continental tourer than a beefy sportscar and as such was much more in tune with the times. Powered by the famous silken 5343cc V12 engine and fitted in the main with standard automatic transmission (a manual was available until 1979 but few were sold), the typically Jaguar combination of precise, grippy handling and superlative ride comfort made this car more than a match for its German contemporaries, the Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC and BMW 6-Series. Sales however soon slowed to a mere trickle as fuel economy became of paramount importance in buyers minds during the late 1970s/early 1980s. Thankfully instead of stopping production altogether (this was considered as the production lines were halted in 1980 to clear existing stocks) Jaguar installed the new HE (HighEfficiency) version of the V12 engine into the XJS in 1981. Raising the average fuel consumption from 15mpg to around 20mpg, sales of the XJS took off overnight. Further development included the introduction of the Cabriolet model in October 1983 together with a brand new 3.6 litre engine, and then the launch of a full Convertible bodystyle in April 1988. With a full convertible roof the XJS's somewhat unusual styling finally acquired the elegance and presence expected of a Jaguar and with the standard 5.3 litre engine backed this up with true sports car performance. Subtly facelifted in 1991, production continued until 1995 and today the XJS is beginning to acquire true classic status as good original cars become increasingly rare.A desirable 5.3 Litre Convertible model, the 1992 XJS offered here is finished in red with a barley coloured leather interior and the recorded mileage of 60,400 is believed but not guaranteed by the vendor to be correct. There is a partial part-Jaguar service history starting at 27,000 miles in 1996 and following some detective work by the vendor a replacement service book has been obtained. Described by the vendor as 'excellent' in all respects save for interior rim and wheels/tyres ('good') this XJS will be sold with an MOT current until February 2008.

1986 PORSCHE 928 S2 PRESENT OWNER 8 YEARS & 76,000 MILES Estimate £3000 - 4000 Registration Number D405UOD Chassis Number 841321 Engine Number 82G05733 Engine Capacity 4664 Paint Colour BURGUNDY Trim Colour BURGUNDY MOT Expiry Date NOV 2007 The front engined 928 arrived on the UK market in 1978 and although conceived as a replacement for the classic 911 it actually became an additional model as it was felt that the 911 was too popular to discontinue. A 4-seater powered by a new 240 bhp V8 4.5 litre engine with rear mounted manual or automatic transmission, the 928 offered an unmatched combination of roadability, comfort, space and quality. A deserved winner of the 1978 Car of the Year award on its technical merits this victory was overshadowed by the vocalisations of a minority who felt that such a specialised car should not win the award, and it is thus the only sports car ever to win the title. Unusually the cheaper 911 was still the faster car, so to remedy this Porsche introduced an S version in January 1980. Sporting an uprated 4664cc engine developing 300 bhp, the S was recognisable by a deeper front air dam, rear spoiler and redesigned alloys. The Series 2 (S2) replaced the S in September 1983 with fuel injection increasing power output to 310 bhp and the automatic gearbox (now 4-speed) as standard equipment with a manual option. Anti-lock brakes and a revamped interior with extra headroom ensured that the car remained a market leader until the arrival of the S4 in 1986 (the S3 was a US only model). The 1986 registered 928 S2 offered today is one of the last S2s. Finished in burgundy with matching leather interior and with automatic transmission this car shows a mileage of 76,985 at the time of going to press, a figure guaranteed correct by the vendor with a complete history file available to view in the document office. The current owner bought the car from the executors of the original owner in 1999 and we are told it is used only during the summer. The history file will show that the cambelts were replaced in 2003, a new driveshaft and housing fitted in 2004 and the oil is changed every year regardless of mileage. Described by the vendor as 'excellent' (engine), 'very good' (transmission, interior, chassis & wheels/tyres) or 'good' (electrics, bodywork) we are told that the only items requiring attention are a non-functioning clock, a scratch on the wheelarch and some paint lift on one door.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle does not have an MOT.

1973 TRIUMPH TR6 LHD - GENUINE RUST FREE EXAMPLE FROM USA Estimate £7000 - 9000 Registration Number UN-REG Chassis Number CF9670U Engine Number Engine Capacity 2498 Paint Colour WHITE Trim Colour MOT Expiry Date Launched in January 1969, the TR6 was a very clever restyle by Karmann of the TR4/5 bodyshell which had been in production since 1961. Using the recessed rear panel which had become a trademark for Triumph cars on the Michelotti designed 2000 and 1300 saloon models together with a new full width grille at the front which integrated the headlamps, the TR6 kept its masculine good looks whilst being brought bang up to date for very little cost. UK and European cars used the 2498cc fuel injected engine which had debuted in the TR5 15 months earlier giving a powerful 150 bhp and very strong performance; however US market cars featured a 105 bhp twin carburettor version of the same engine in order to meet emission regulations. This did however have the advantage that the US market cars did not suffer from the problems of under-bonnet fires that plagued early fuel-injected Triumph cars. Very much a traditional British sports car the TR6 had strong, gutsy performance, powerful brakes and hard all-independent suspension which gave handling qualities best described as 'challenging' on bumpy surfaces. However the TR6 was virtually unique in providing these qualities on the UK market at the time save for the much cruder and more specialised Morgan. Produced until 1975 it was the last of the traditional TRs, the replacement TR7 being a very different breed of car.The 1973 TR6 offered for sale here today is a US specification car with original left-hand drive. We are told by the vendor that more than £10,000 has (it is estimated) been spent on this car including a bare-metal respray, new body panels where required, replacement European specification bumpers and retrimmed seats, floors, doors, dashboard and boot. The wire wheels have been reconditioned, new tyres fitted and also a new hood. The vendor states that 'minimal attention' is required to complete the car which starts and runs well with 'excellent oil pressure'. Bodywork is said to be good, the owner having specified an example from the US precisely for this reason. Complete with workshop manual, handbook, spares catalogue and customs duty paid certificate the car should be 'easy to register in the UK or Europe'.

1981 PORSCHE 911 SC GOOD EXAMPLE & ENGINE REBUILT 3 YRS AGO Estimate £6000 - 7000 Registration Number PSO231W Chassis Number WPOZZZ91ZBS101295 Engine Number 6312060 Engine Capacity 2993 Paint Colour BURGUNDY Trim Colour TAN MOT Expiry Date APRIL 2007 Successor to the famous 356 model range which had built the Porsche reputation since the company's inception in 1948, the 911 was launched to the public in 1964 as the 901. However, a swiftly filed lawsuit by Peugeot who claimed that they held the legal right to use all combinations of 3 numbers with '0' in the middle saw the change to the name 911. Powered by a flat six cylinder engine mounted in the traditional Porsche position at the rear of the car, the 911 finally arrived in the UK in right hand drive form in 1965. Steadily refined over a long period of time and indeed still in production today, although having nothing in common with the 1965 original save for the position of the engine and general style of the body, the 911 is considered by many as the definitive useable everyday sportscar. Available in a bewildering variety of models and engine sizes over the years, the SC variant was launched to the UK in September 1977 as a coupe or targa to replace the 911 Lux and featured an enlarged 180 bhp 3.0 engine to replace the 2.7 unit. Also available as an SC Sports version with enlarged front and rear spoilers and sports seats, the SC continued until 1983, having had its power output uprated to 204 bhp in October 1980, when the famous Carrera nameplate was revived for all non-Turbo 911 models. Still very much a traditional 911 to drive with its incredibly 'alive' steering, distinctive flat six engine wail and sometimes tail-happy handling, the SC's were nevertheless much more refined than previous models. The 1981 911 SC Coupe which is offered here is finished in burgundy with a tan cloth interior and features the more desirable 5-speed manual gearbox. The recorded mileage of just under 154,000 is believed but not guaranteed by the vendor to be correct. Described by the vendor as 'good' in all aspects except the engine which is described as 'very good', this 911 is said to have had a full engine rebuild 3 years ago and is described as a 'nice useable example of an older 911'. This 911 comes complete with an MOT until April 2007 and tax until the end of March 2007.

1952 BRISTOL 401 OLDER TT WORKSHOPS RESTORATION Estimate £18000 - 22000 Registration Number JSG 615 Chassis Number 4011120 Engine Number 85C2026 Engine Capacity 2000 Paint Colour SILVER Trim Colour HEATHER MOT Expiry Date JUNE 2007 "This, indeed, is the car for the connoisseur. It can only be modesty on the part of the Bristol publicity boys which has prevented them from quoting as the 401's slogan 'The Best Car in Britain'" (Motor Sport magazine, January 1953).Introduced in Autumn 1949, the 401 was characterised by its super-smooth, aerodynamic bodywork. Honed in the Bristol Aeroplane Company's wind tunnel and built using Milanese coachbuilder Touring's 'Superleggera' technique (aluminium panelling cinched over a chassis mounted tubular steel superstructure), it boasted a commendably lithe kerb weight of approximately 2,700lbs. Equipped with transverse-leaf independent front suspension and hydraulic drum brakes, the new Bristol proved a notably fine handler taking Touring Class wins in both the Cannes Rally of the Sun and Tulip Rally for 1951. Powered by a BMW-inspired 1971cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the elegant sports saloon promised nigh-on 100mph performance and spirited acceleration. Only in production for four years (by which time a mere 618 are thought to have been made), the model's exclusive £3,212 13s 4d price tag was a reflection of the aircraft quality materials used in its construction.Finished in silver with heather leather upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in "A1" (chassis, paintwork) or "A1+" (engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork, wheels / tyres) condition. Said to have been undergone some £47,000 worth of restoration / maintenance work by TT Workshops between 1979 and 1991, 'JSG 615' sports a highly polished wooden dashboard. Riding on steel wheels, this handsome Bristol is offered for sale with assorted TT Workshops invoices / bills and MOT certificate valid until June 2007.

1970 FORD CAPRI 3000 E ONLY TWO OWNERS FROM NEW & THE BEST Estimate £12000 - 14000 Registration Number YNT153J Chassis Number BBECKT26525 Engine Number KT26525 Engine Capacity 2994 Paint Colour GREEN Trim Colour BLACK MOT Expiry Date DEC 2007 Commissioned and designed by Ford as a European equivalent to the iconic Mustang, the Capri was launched in 1969. An attractive four-seater with good handling and respectable performance, its reputation was enhanced by the repeated successes of competition variants in the contemporary European Touring Car Championship. Although, stylistically evolved over three 'Marks', the handsome two-door coupe remained predominantly faithful to the same basic mechanical recipe throughout its eighteen-year production life. Built around a monocoque bodyshell featuring MacPherson strut front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, disc / drum brakes and rack and pinion steering, it was powered by everything from an anaemic 1.3 litre four-pot to a homologation special 3.1 litre V6 engine.Finished in metallic light green with black vinyl upholstery, this particular 3000E example is variously described by the vendor as being in "A1" (four-speed manual gearbox, interior trim, chassis) or "A1+" (2994cc V6 engine, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork, wheels / tyres) condition. Said to have had just two owners and to have covered a mere 60,526 miles from new, 'YHT 153J' sports a vinyl roof, 'bullet' wing mirrors, four auxiliary driving lights and a badge bar. Riding on polished alloy wheels, this seemingly 'period perfect' Capri is offered for sale with MOT certificate and historic class (free) road tax valid until December 2007.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle now comes with an MOT certificate until January 2008.

1936 HUDSON EIGHT SPECIAL SPORTS SALOON COACHBUILT & EX-SIR EVERARD SCARISBRICK Estimate £38000 - 42000 Registration Number T.B.A. Chassis Number 642204 Engine Number 8844 Engine Capacity 4200 Paint Colour BURGUNDY/BLACK Trim Colour RED MOT Expiry Date JUNE 2007 Thoroughly revamped for 1936, the Hudson Super Eight model range not only gained a new 'Fencer's Mask' radiator grille but also a redesigned chassis complete with 'Rhythmic Ride', 'Tru-Line Steering' and 'Radial Safety Control'. Hailed by Sir Malcolm Campbell in the marque's British advertising campaign as "a really great engineering advancement", the latter feature consisted of two forged steel control arms that prevented the beam front axle from experiencing any lateral movement. Augmented by powerful four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, the set-up's principal advantages were that it (a) allowed the use of longer, softer semi-elliptic leaf springs, (b) minimised bump steer and (c) gave enhanced anti-dive properties. Boasting all-steel 'Fortress of Safety' bodywork, class-leading cabin space, driver's seat / steering column adjustment and a sophisticated thru-draft fresh air ventilation system, the Super Eight was available in standard (120-inch) or long wheelbase (127-inch) guises. Notably refined, its 254ci (4.2litre) straight-eight engine benefited from a fully-balanced crankshaft, oil cooler, high chrome alloy cylinder block, silicon aluminium alloy pistons and cam roller tappets. Developing 120hp and allied to three-speed manual transmission, the free-revving powerplant provided ample performance. Indeed, a Hudson Super Eight averaged 87.68mph for 24 hours over the Bonneville Salt Flats in October 1936 (just one of the 120 US Stock Car Records that the marque set between 1932 and 1940). Based on The Great West Road in London, Hudson's UK Sales & Service operation had the facility to supply right-hand drive specification cars wearing either standardised American or coachbuilt British bodywork.Finished in maroon with red leather upholstery, this particular right-hand drive example is variously described by the vendor as being in "A1" (bodywork, paintwork) or "A1+" (engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, wheels / tyres) condition. Originally bodied by Coachcraft of London, the handsome four-light saloon is reputedly the only one of its kind still in existence. Said to have been previously owned by Sir Everard Scarisbrick Bart and A. Macleod Esq, the Hudson was laid-up in an Ullapool garage during the 1960s. Left languishing for several decades, the current ownership has seen it treated to a highly detailed restoration. Riding on steel wheels shod with whitewall tyres, this stylish and very possibly unique 1930s Anglo-American is accompanied by a MOT certificate valid until June 2007.

1931 FORD MODEL A VICTORIA AN EXCEPTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL VEHICLE Estimate £14000 - 16000 Registration Number CSJ 329 Chassis Number A4615296 Engine Number A4615296 Engine Capacity 3300 Paint Colour GREEN/BLACK Trim Colour FAWN MOT Expiry Date MAY 2007 Amid rumours that several States were preparing to ban his Model T due to its 'unsafe' hand-operated braking system, Henry Ford begrudgingly succumbed to pressure from his son Edsel in July 1926 and authorised the development of a successor. Introduced to the public on 2nd December 1927, the Model A was greeted with unprecedented demand. Longer and lower-slung than that of the Model T, its chassis still retained transverse-leaf front / rear suspension but proved significantly more refined. Designed by Howard Hicks, its 3285cc, L-Head four-cylinder engine developed 40bhp (twice the Model T's output) as well as boasting niceties like coil ignition and an integral water pump. Mated to a three-speed manual gearbox, it gave the new model a top speed of 65mph which in turn necessitated the fitment of four-wheel drum brakes. One of the last Model A bodystyles to be launched, the Victoria was only in production for two years. A two-door, four-seater design, it was visually distinguished by a gently raked windscreen, lower roof line and bustle back. Eschewing the windscreen peak favoured by many of its siblings, the newcomer benefited from internal sun visors and a useful luggage cubby (accessed via the rear seat back).Finished in green over black with fawn cloth upholstery, this particular right-hand drive example is described by the vendor as being in "A1+" condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres. The subject of extensive restoration work, 'CSJ 329' is said to present as well underneath as it does on top. A rare sight in right-hand drive (overseas production is thought to have accounted for just 2,098 of the 42,310 Victorias made), it sports painted wire wheels and rear window blinds. A worthwhile addition to any collection, this lovely Model A is offered for sale with MOT certificate and historic class (free) road tax valid until May 2007.

1930 MG M-TYPE OLDER RESTORATION, HISTORY BACK TO 1942 Estimate £12500 - 14500 Registration Number MG 445 Chassis Number 2/M1360 Engine Number MG1120A Engine Capacity 885 Paint Colour GREEN Trim Colour GREEN MOT Expiry Date APRIL 2007 Introduced at the October 1928 London Motor Show, the M-Type proved to be a landmark model for MG. Smaller, lighter and cheaper than anything the marque had yet produced, the newcomer was based around a stepped ladder-frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Inspired by WW1 aero-engine practice, its SOHC 847cc four-cylinder engine developed 20bhp @ 4,000rpm (rising to 27bhp during 1930) and was allied to three-speed manual transmission (though, a four-speed gearbox would later become optional). While, most M-types wore Carbodies coachwork in either open 'Boat-Tail' tourer or closed 'Sportsman' coupe guises, some were supplied as bare chassis. Priced from £175, the diminutive MG was reputedly capable of 64mph and 40mpg. Decidedly compact (6ft6in wheelbase / 3ft6in track), it garnered considerable competition success taking gold medals in the 1929 Land's End Trial and a class win in the 1930 Brooklands 'Double Twelve'. Although total production is thought to have amounted to 3,325 cars (1928-1932), survivors are comparatively scarce today.First registered on April 12th 1930, 'MG 445' has changed hands just four times in the last sixty-five years. The subject of a sympathetic older restoration, it sports a V-shaped windscreen, J2-style cutaway doors, 'MG' fasteners, 1953 tax disc, Rotax instrument panel, adjustable seat back and Royal Aero Club Associate badge. Starting readily on inspection, the M-Type houses a jack, spare wheel, hood and sidescreens within its boat-tail. A truly enchanting little car, 'MG 445' is offered for sale with buff logbook, sundry correspondence, Octagon Car Club ephemera, MOT certificate valid until April 26th 2007 and historic class (free) road tax valid until June 30th 2007.

1980 FERRARI 308 GTS LOVELY CAR WITH FABULOUS HISTORY Estimate £18000 - 20000 Registration Number T.B.A. Chassis Number 29253 Engine Number 29253 Engine Capacity 2926 Paint Colour WHITE Trim Colour RED MOT Expiry Date DEC 2007 Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful designs of the 1970s/80s, the Ferrari 308 GTB was launched in 1975. Although the 1973 introduced 2+2 Dino 308 GT4 had nominally taken over the mantle of its namesake, the illustrious Dino 246 GT, the 308 GTB was in many ways the true successor to this classic design. Styled by Pinninfarina (the Dino 308 was Bertone's one and only Ferrari design) the 308 GTB was built by Scaglietti on the chassis and suspension of the 246 with a brand new 2926cc dry-sump V8 engine and most notably featured distinctive sculptured air intakes on the body sides ahead of the mid-mounted engine. Initially the cars were built with some fibreglass body panels (another first for a Ferrari) but from May 1977 all-steel construction was used. Long awaited, the open-topped GTS Spyder version arrived in March 1978 with a detachable centre roof section much in the manner of a targa rather than a full convertible. It did however only enhance the 308's delectable lines and the 308 then evolved through a fuel-injected version into the 3.2 litre 328 GTB/GTS until its replacement in 1988 by the less widely admired 348. By this time the 308/328 had become Ferrari's best selling model to date, these sales including an Italian-market only 208 GTB/GTS 2-litre produced to circumvent Italian taxation laws. Also the 308 GTS became a TV star being Tom Selleck's preferred mode of transport in the US series Magnum PI.The 1980 308 GTS in white which we offer today has a red leather interior and has covered only 48,000 miles from new, this figure being guaranteed correct by the vendor and supported by a service history from new. We are told that this history confirms that the car has been serviced every 12 months regardless of mileage covered and new cam belts were fitted at 47,000 miles. Also new are we are told are the TRX tyres and sports exhaust. Described by the vendor as 'excellent' in every respect except for the interior which is described 'as new', it has a current MOT until December 2007 and tax until June 2007. Owned by one owner for 22 years this stunning looking thoroughbred Ferrari will be ready top drive away from today's sale.

1984 MERCEDES-BENZ 280 SL LOVELY CAR WITH FSH & HARD/SOFT TOPS Estimate £7000 - 8000 Registration Number TNJ 378 Chassis Number 1070422A010095 Engine Number 11099022005850 Engine Capacity 2746 Paint Colour CHAMPAGNE Trim Colour CREAM MOT Expiry Date FEB 2008 The 1971 launched SL was a very different car to its 'pagoda' roofed 280 SL predecessor, being much more of a high-speed inter-continental express than an out and out sports car. Available as a 350 SL or 450 SL, the V8 engines and semi-trailing arm rear suspension components were taken from the S-Class and like its predecessor it was available as a roadster or as a coupe with removable hardtop. Very much in a class of its own at launch, the SL's only major competition came from the recently re-engined Jaguar E-Type V12 which whilst still beautiful was a much older basic design. Steadily refined and developed but never substantially altered over a production run which even by Mercedes-Benz standards was lengthy, the SL remained in production in this form until 1989. A smaller 6-cylinder 280 SL had been introduced in mainland Europe in 1974 but it was not until October 1980 that this model became available in the UK. Powered by a gusty yet refined 2746cc engine producing 185bhp even the 280 model lacked nothingwhen it came to performance and being indistinguishable externally from its larger engine brothers was a popular 'entry level' way into Mercedes convertible motoring. The 280 SL lasted until October 1985 when it was replaced by the 300 SL, which at the same time received the SL's one and only minor facelift.The 1984 car on offer today is finished in champagne with a cream part leather interior and has a mileage verified by the current owner of 85,476 at the time of going to press with a full service history. Featuring the more popular automatic transmission, this example is described by the vendor as being 'excellent' in every area with an 'as new' interior. Included with this car is the desirable factory hardtop as well as the personalised registration number TNJ 378 and the car will be sold with MOT until February 2008 and tax until April 2007.
