1977 TVR 3000M Transmission: manualMileage:38341When they arrived on the scene in the early 1970s, the M-Series cars were a bold step forward for TVR, despite being an evolution of the Vixen and Tuscan models that preceded them. The first M-Car to go on sale was the Triumph powered 2500M in 1972, but it was soon followed by the Ford-engined 1600M and 3000M, the latter of which had the V6 ‘Essex’ engine from the Ford Capri. By then, the car had evolved further and had an all-new multi-tube chassis, despite its traditional looks. Otherwise, it carried on the front mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout that had been used in its predecessors, and continued the fibreglass body-on-frame construction that made their production so flexible.This wonderful example was subject to a previous restoration and as such,  presents very well indeed. Offered in blue coachwork over an ivory leather and walnut interior, there are just a few minor blemishes to the paintwork and interior. In very good running and driving condition, this TVR sounds fantastic when on song and is reported by the vendor to drive as it should. Offered with a sizeable history file which includes many sundry bills, the most recent of which was for new valve guides fitted in 2019 at a cost of £711, many old MoT test certificates, the current V5C registration document and an original TVR handbook. This is a very nice example and is ready to be enjoyed by its new custodian.

1971 British Lions | Gerald Davies Rugby Union jersey match-worn by Gerald Davies in New ZealandJersey & Provenance: Label for Umbro (two globes version) and Lillywhites. Bears squad No.14 and British Lions crest with indigo rose to represent England, characteristic of the '71 badge. The personal collection of Sir Gareth Edwards CBE & family.Thomas Gerald Reames Davies CBE DL (b. 1945), the current WRU President, made his international debut in December 1966 v Australia in Cardiff. He was switched from centre to the wing by Welsh coach Clive Rowlands during their ‘69 tour of Australia and New Zealand, from then on, his famous side-step and acceleration led to him dominating that position for Wales for the remainder of his career. Davies was a British Lion in ‘68 and ‘71, one of a raft of Welsh players alongside Barry John, Gareth Edwards and JPR Williams who entered the folklore of both the Lions and Wales. He is perhaps best remembered for his last-gasp score against Scotland in the ‘71 Five Nations, and his three tries for the British Lions against the All Blacks in the same year.Following his retirement, Davies became a respected rugby correspondent for The Times and holds honorary fellowships from the University of Wales Lampeter, Aberystwyth, and Cardiff. Davies also served as the team manager for the 2009 Lions tour to South Africa.British Lions Tour 1971: The 1971 Lions were the first British team to win a major series abroad in the 20th Century and the only time the Lions have won a series in New Zealand. The tour was a huge success for British rugby and as a public relations exercise for the sport in the UK. The Lions succeeded in a tense, often brutal series of matches and have since been regarded as the finest British Lions team to tour, a team which struck a massive blow for Northern Hemisphere rugby.The squad of 13 Welsh, 6 Irish and English and 5 Scottish players were captained by John Dawes who had helped develop London Welsh into one of the most formidable club sides. The coach was Carwyn James, who believed in free-flowing rugby where players could express themselves. James had the players do just that with raw talent throughout; JPR Williams, John Bevan, John Dawes, Barry John, Mike Gibson, and, wearing this jersey - Gerald Davies. There were decision makers and big characters deep into the ‘71 squad, players comfortable with the ball in their hands as well as natural footballers. The tour began inauspiciously with two matches against Australian provinces. The first, against Queensland was but 58 hours away after flying half-way across the world. They lost 15-11. The second was New South Wales with the Lions scraping a 14-12 win. Their chances of glory in All Blacks territory were ridiculed by the Australian press. It was an ominous start.But the Lions needed time to find their feet and shake off their jetlag. They won the next ten matches in New Zealand before the first test. Wins included Waikato, the Maoris, Wellington, and Canterbury.It was the Canterbury match on June 19th, one week before the First Test, which is remembered for the wrong reasons. It was to be a rough-up of the Lions, known as the ‘Battle of Lancaster Park’, the ‘Game of Shame’. It was a violent affair of punch-ups resulting in swollen eyes and broken bones, including a fractured cheekbone to Lion Sandy Carmichael and concussion for Fergus Slattery. John Pullin was felled by a punch from behind and Sir Gareth was floored by a rabbit punch.The Lions tried to play the Carwyn-way and thanks to superior handling they won what was a moral victory. But they would need to finish the tour without Roy McLoughlin and Carmichael in the front-row. Second string props were flown out. In the first test at Dunedin on 26th June, Sir Gareth sustained a leg injury and was replaced by Ray ‘Chico’ Hopkins. The Lions scraped a 9-3 win with two Barry John penalties in the second half. It was not an emphatic victory, but great for moral - the All Blacks could be beaten!In the second test Edwards had recovered and it was more of an open affair. Burgess scored the first try for New Zealand, Gerald Davies wearing this jersey scored a try in reply. Then Sid Going scored from a ruck. In the second half New Zealand were awarded a penalty try, Burgess scored the second of the day and then Ian Kirkpatrick scored a famous solo try. New Zealand were cruising 22-6 but there was a spirited revival from the Lions, and they managed to claw back to 22-12, again through Davies. But the final score was 22-12 to New Zealand and the All Blacks had stopped the Lions run of 15 games without defeat.There were four more Lions’ wins including Hawke’s Bay who put a cynical performance to match the Battle of Lancaster Park, this time Pullin was badly hurt from a punch. But Davies and Barry John tormented the opposition with skill and flair. Davies scoring four tries. The crucial penultimate 3rd test was at Wellington on 31st of July. The Lions needed to win to give them the chance of a series victory. The wind was strong in Wellington, and having won the toss, the Lions opted to use the elements. It was a good decision, with Barry John executing a long drop goal in the 3rd minute to raise the Lion’s tails. Later in the game Davies went over for a try after an All Blacks’ lineout blunder. Barry John scored another and the Lions won 13-3 – they could not now lose the four-match series.An All Blacks victory in the final test at Eden Park, Auckland, on August 14th would draw the series. It was a tense affair, without much flowing running rugby. The All Blacks scored a converted try first, they then kicked a penalty and as half-time drew nearer, the result was looking ominously in their favour. But the Lions rallied, Barry John scored a penalty, Peter Dixon scored a try, Barry John converted. The game was drawn 8-8 at half-time. After the break, Barry John scored another penalty, New Zealand replied with the same and then with 8 minutes to go JPR scored a brilliant drop-goal from 40 metres - the defining moment of the tour. In the dying moments New Zealand struck back with another penalty to draw the match 14-14 but it was not enough to save their series. A series victory for the Lions.The Legacy Of The ’71 Tour: the team won their first series in NZ and would return to Heathrow to thousands of fans as history makers and architects of a monumental step forward for home nations rugby. It was a glorious tour which helped rugby union gain appeal to the British public. They destroyed the aura of invincibility of the All Blacks and they’ll be remembered for the intention to play the Carwyn James-way in utilising their exciting backs.Clem Thomas wrote ‘I am often asked, and indeed I often ask myself, which was the greatest team, 1971 or 1974….it is my opinion that the ‘71 Lions had backs who were without equal in my experience. Never did I see more consummate play from backs, with such unparalleled mastery of the basic skills’.Sir Gareth Recalls: (Gerald is) ‘..admired and remembered for his great attacking play and for scoring some fantastic tries. He was also a tenacious tackler. It didn’t matter how big they were, very few people got past him. When, you had someone like him in your side, you always felt he could create something even in an apparently hopeless situation. It was Clive Rowlands who changed him from a centre to a wing in 1969 and his renowned ability to side-step with such brilliance was a devastating part of his weaponry on the wing. What made him so dangerous to opponents was that when he side-stepped, he hardly changed pace. Indeed, it almost seemed as though he went faster’.

Rare and desirable R V8 with less than 23,000 miles from long-term ownership.The MG RV8 was a hugely important step in the 1990s rebirth of MG Cars after more than a decade of only producing saloons and hatchbacks. Since Abingdon's closure in 1980, the illustrious MG badge had been reserved for the Metro, Maestro and Montego and, although these cars were worthy, what enthusiasts really wanted was a new MG roadster. In 1992, 12 years after the last MG sports car had rolled off the Abingdon production lines, Austin-Rover made the inspired decision to revive this most charismatic of British marques by introducing an entirely new model - the MG RV8.In creating the RV8, Rover very cleverly used a combination of off-the-shelf parts, such as the Range Rover's V8 engine and British Motor Heritage's MGB bodyshell. So, in this reincarnation of the MGB, the rubber bumper specification body was utilised and modified to accept a new set of beautifully curvaceous outer panels. The 3.9-litre Range Rover EFi V8 engine developed 188bhp and gave the RV8 enough power to crack 0-60 mph in just under six seconds which, even today, is pretty impressive. A 5-speed LT77 gearbox, derived from the Rover SD1 was used along with a new Salisbury axle. Very significant modifications were made to the suspension and brakes to bring the car up to date and the interior featured soft leather in Stone Beige and a Burr Elm facia and door cappings.The RV8 was shown at the 1993 Tokyo Motor Show creating a huge demand which resulted in nearly 1,600 examples (of the 1,983 total) being exported to Japan. Despite (or maybe because of) the RV8 being based on a 30-year old model, its classic status was assured from the day it was unveiled, and with less than 2,000 examples built between 1992 and 1995, the cars are now much sought after. No RV8s were ever sold in the US and consequently they are all right-hand drive.We believe that 1,583 RV8s went to Japan initially, but such has been the growing demand in recent years in the UK, that many have been sourced in Japan and returned to the these shores to join the 307 originally sold here. This delightful example did indeed travel to Japan but was not purchased second-hand over there as it was never sold in the first place. It was a very late production car fitted with air-conditioning (non-standard in the UK) but perhaps it arrived in Japan after demand had dwindled and was never registered, subsequently, returning home some months later prior to being bought by a doctor for his wife and registered in late 1999. It was purchased by its present owner, our vendor, in 2008 with excellent Woodcote Green paintwork but under the bonnet a number of the plated items had deteriorated necessitating a full strip and cosmetic reconditioning and replating. At the same time, the underbody was also repainted to achieve a perfect appearance and, whilst stripped, all brake pipes, calipers etc. were reconditioned, the car was 'poly-bushed', and a set of adjustable Spax Shocks were fitted as were four new tyres. Some corrosion to the screen frame was attended to with a new frame and screen supplied by Clive Wheatley. At the time of cataloguing, the odometer was indicating 22,858 miles.This superb RV8 has formed part of a private collection in recent years and, unlike many 'museum' exhibits, our fastidious vendor enjoys keeping his collection in absolutely top form. We encourage interested parties to take the opportunity to come and view this impressively presented MG.  SpecificationMake: MGModel: MG R V8Year: 1999Chassis Number: SARRAWBMBM002230Registration Number: T301 VNUTransmission: ManualEngine Number: TBADrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 22858 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Stone BeigeClick here for more details and images

This beautifully-presented example is offered from an exceptional Ferrari Collection with just 29,000km and Ferrari Classiche Certification.The Testarossa was first seen at the Paris Motor Show in 1984. Its name derived from the legendary 1957 Ferrari 250 GT, and the car went on to achieve many awards including "Design of the Year" and the "Car Design Award". This acclaim recognised not only the brilliant aesthetics of the car but its technical accomplishments as well. It's difficult to surpass excellence, particularly when compared with such an illustrious predecessor as the original Testarossa - a car which had already attained a particularly high level of performance, maximum speed, acceleration, and road handling.So how was it going to be possible to proceed one step further? In 1991, the answer came in the form of Ferrari's new 512 TR. The TR represented a significant step up in Ferrari performance and, with 41 more horsepower than its predecessor, the new 428bhp engine shaved a whole second off the already impressive 5.7 seconds 0-60mph acceleration. The chassis was extensively reconstructed, as was the 5-speed manual transmission and brakes, and the bodywork received a minor facelift, giving the TR a more aggressive stance whilst still retaining that distinctive Testarossa style.This lovely left-hand drive 512 TR dates from 1992 and is classically finished in Rosso Corsa with a black leather interior. It was originally supplied new to Japan and subsequently shipped to Dubai some time later before being purchased by its current owner, our vendor, in 2015 and imported to the UK. It presents really well and is described as being "in very good condition with good paint and interior and driving well". Perhaps, most importantly, the TR is in possession of its 'Ferrari Classiche', Certificate of Authenticity along with the famous 'Red Book' offering peace of mind to the car's next owner.  SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 512 TRYear: 1992Chassis Number: ZFFLA40B000093224Registration Number: J180 OFXTransmission: ManualEngine Number: F113D04030680 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

Well known, competitive race car that has now become a flexible and refined, road-going Grand Tourer.This lovely Aston Martin DB4 was repatriated to the UK in 1965 having belonged to an eminent doctor who had led a pilot Malaria eradication project in Kuala Lumpur and subsequently allocated the registration it wears today. It was completely restored in the seventies and remained in road trim before being converted into a 'Lightweight' DB4 and embarking on a illustrious racing campaign. Famous in AMOC racing circles, it has been raced by Andy Jenkinson and the late Peter Wheeler of TVR fame who spent much of his considerable resources constantly improving the race car. It was purchased by renowned racer Sean Brown in 2008 and raced with great success by him until around 2013.With such a continuous proven race winning history it is officially recognised as a Aston Martin DB4 'Lightweight' and is included in the Lightweight register.In 2018, our vendor decided to return the Aston to a usable, legal fast road specification so that it could be enjoyed for road trips and touring. Renowned historic race car preparers, John Danby Racing, were entrusted to complete the works and the history file contains invoices totalling over seventy thousand pounds. Every aspect of returning an 'out and out' racer to a civilised David Brown Grand Tourer was considered including a complete rebuild of the 4.5-litre engine, the fitment of a new five-speed gearbox, a full retrim, and all the knobs, switches and handles etc. that come out in minutes when you are stripping a car during race prep but take an age to reinstate when returning it to a usable 'fast-road' spec. Every step of the process was recorded including, rebuilds, road tests, rolling road set-ups and all the components used to a level you only get with a professional race car establishment. More recently, in December 2021 power-assisted steering was fitted, a welcome addition.The result is a stunning road going, flexible and refined DB4 that can used as a classic tourer with a compliant exhaust system, fully adjustable suspension, uprated brakes and a comfortably trimmed interior. It's accompanied by a copy of the original factory build sheet and lots of history and photographs from its racing career and is now ideal for regularity runs, European Tours and any number of AMOC events including sprints, hill climbs or circuit days.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB4Year: 1960Chassis Number: DB4/362/RRegistration Number: GJJ 940CTransmission: Manual Engine Number: 400\3880\SMake: Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Presenting in exceptional condition, this Tommykaira R-S is a unicorn of the JDM world and one of just 35 Tommykaira R34s ever produced. Generating some 435bhp from the uprated RB26 DETT, this car is a fabulous look-back at the pinnacle of Japanese tuning houses in their prime.The car culture in Japan is globally renowned for its passion for modification, enthusiasm for all cars, and unbridled ability to push the boat out. Throughout the 1990s, the tuner culture truly exploded in the Japanese car world with, now infamous, garages, workshops and brands popping up and growing notoriety such as Smokey Nagata’s ‘Top Secret’, Akira Nakai’s ‘RWB’, and brands/factions such as Nismo, Blitz, HKS and others. One of these brands was Tommykaira.Originally founded in 1986 as Tomita Yume Koujou, Tommykaira is a Japanese car tuning and manufacturing company headquartered in Minami-ku, Kyoto and named after its two founders, Yoshikazu Tomita and Kikuo Kaira. Several of its cars have appeared in both the Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport racing simulation video game series which boosted their popularity and awareness of the brand.Tommykaira tuned, modified and then re-branded cars as if they were manufactured by the company itself, with the permission of the parent manufacturers, much like the German counterparts of Ruf and Gemballa do with Porsches. A Subaru Impreza was re-branded as Tommykaira M20b, a Nissan 350Z as a Tommykaira Z, and the most notorious JDM car of all, the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R was offered in three guises, the Tommykaira R, R-S or RZ featuring different levels of aggression, styling and power, the R being entry level, the R-S the mid-range, most balanced option and the RZ the most aggressive.The R34 GT-R's popularity was rocketed by an appearance in "The Fast and the Furious" franchise that led to an explosion in global popularity for the R34 GT-R. Indeed, the late Paul Walker drove an R34 GT-R in '2 Fast 2 Furious', enhancing its almost cult status. But it was in the 'real' world where the R34 GT-R V-Spec would cement its reputation. Described by Evo Magazine as "A warrior-class performer" in its 2007 road test, where a standard R34 GT-R was pitted against the likes of a McLaren F1, Pagani Zonda, Ferrari F40 and Bugatti Veyron, the GT-R's reputation as a class-act remained intact.The R33 GT-R was a good car, but many found it to be too bulky in design and too heavy to be a worthy successor to the R32 GT-R, which the R34 sought to rectify, and did so with flying colours. Released with a shorter, sharper design and the performance to match, it’s safe to say the bite truly matches the bark. For a car released in 1999, the R34 came crammed full of technology including a 5.8" LCD multifunction display in the dashboard, showing seven different live readings of engine and vehicle statistics such as boost pressure, oil/water temperature and throttle percentage amongst others.It arrived with aggressive new styling, a stiffer bodyshell and a reworked version of the bulletproof and highly modifiable RB26DETT twin-turbo, inline-six mated to an all-new Getrag 6-speed gearbox and transfer case. The electronically controlled Super HICAS rear-wheel steering system was retained. Unlike some other performance cars of the 1990s, Nissan did not neglect the braking system and fitted Brembo brakes with 300mm vented discs, although Tommykaira did upgrade these further to match the power increase.The example offered here is a V-Spec JDM-delivered car and is one of just 522 produced in GV1, Pearl Black, out of a production run of 11,578 cars. Importantly, this was one of the very select cars that Tommykaira got their hands on. Tommykaira built three variations of the R34, the entry level R with 375bhp, the R-S with 435bhp and a host of mechanical upgrades and the hardcore RZ with over 500bhp. Tommykaira upgrades were both mechanical and cosmetic with a view to improving and refining the already outstanding R34 GTR, seeking to make it faster, better to drive and overall improved on both road and track without compromising comfort.On the mechanical side, we have Nissan’s legendary 2.6-litre twin-turbo engine now producing 435bhp thanks to its N1 Turbos, Tommykaira remapped ECU, stainless-steel Tommykaira exhaust system, uprated radiator, oil cooler, intercooler, turbine kit and air filters. The driving experience is enhanced with uprated Bilstein gas-filled shock absorbers, 25mm lowering springs, upgraded front tension rods, a strut-brace and a twin-plate cutch. Cosmetically, the R-S model features an exclusive mesh grille, front bumper, front spoiler, side skirts, rear bumper, rear valance and diffusers, as well as an adjustable alloy GT wing and more Tommykaira emblems than you can shake a stick at. Step foot near this car and you’ll have no doubt who built it and why.It rides on its original lightweight, and recently refurbished (costing £460 from Platinum Alloys), 19-inch, six-spoke Tommykaira ‘Pro R’ magnesium wheels finished in gold and wrapped in Bridgestone Potenzas all-round, with massive AP Racing six-piston callipers and discs on the front with two-piston callipers on the back, meaning this JDM hero stops as fast as it accelerates. The interior also saw sympathetic upgrades featuring exclusive Tommykaira sports seats with red embroidered Tommykaira emblems, a black leather-trimmed centre armrest, handbrake grip and steering wheel with red contrast stitching, and light gold trim inserts. Additionally, there are bespoke Tommykaira floor mats, gear knob, foot rest, tinted windows, automatic climate control, a Clarion infotainment system with satellite navigation, a multifunctional display (MFD), electrically adjustable mirrors and a fabulous Tommykaira aluminium faced digital speedometer with a peak torque and a shift light.Within the history file there is a good summary of its owners in Japan, its auction report including photos prior to export, and a good amount of Japanese history. It was most recently serviced on 24th August 2022 by Abbey Motorsport costing £827 including all fluids changed and a fresh MOT despite only covering just over 1,000km since its last service. In 2019 Abbey Motorsport carried out another service including changing the timing belt, fitting a custom-made radiator and a new battery with the invoice totalling £1,951. The history file also contains a big section of OEM/OEM+ parts bought from either Nissan directly or from Japan and Authenticity Certificates on the Tommykaira parts as well as the original Tommykaira Sales Brochure. It will be supplied with a custom Tommykaira car cover, jack kit and spare wheel.Imported in 2016 and owned by our vendor since then, this utterly stunning Tommykaira R-S has covered just 76,727km (47,675 miles) from new and presents in outstanding condition, testament to our vendor who has kept it in dry storage whenever not in use and never allowed it to see the dreaded UK salt, thus ensuring its all-round stunning condition.This represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a phenomenally rare example of arguably the fastest appreciating modern-classic in the fastest appreciating sector of the market which showcases just how capable these Japanese tuning houses were at building phenomenal cars for both road and track. With the USA market just 1-2 years away for a lot of GT-Rs, it could be an outstandingly smart investment that can also be enjoyed in the meantime.SpecificationMake: NISSANClick here for more details and images

Offered from The Twin Sparks Collection. Simply outstanding example of the type, subject to a meticulous restoration down to the finest detail.Alfa Romeo is arguably the brand that is most synonymous with the unequivocal Italian passion and flair that surrounds their motorcars, and it doesn’t get much more Italian than Alfa Romeo in the 1960s. Their heritage is draped in motorsport success, competing since 1911 with their 24hp Grand Prix and with their maiden victory arriving shortly after in 1913 with their 40/60hp. Not only were the cars ferociously fast, but they were painstakingly beautiful. In the following decades they had great success with the RL, P3, 6C and 8C, all before the start of the War. Post-war, Alfa Romeo again focussed their efforts on racing, entering Formula 1, and with the exception of a few years here and there, they still compete to this day. It's no surprise that by the time they decided to take their immense skillset to the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC) in the 1960s, their craft was somewhat mastered. The Giulia swiftly took its place on the top step of the podium, taking  Championship victories in 1966, 1967 and 1969.Released in September 1963 at the newly opened Arese plant, later displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in the same month, the Giulia Sprint GT was the first Giulia sport model in the Tipo 105 line-up. The styling was entrusted to the, then, 22 year old Giorgetto Giugiaro, but with two Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Special Bertone’s and Alfa Romeo’s 2000 and 2600 Sprints already behind him, it’s easy to see that the car's looks were in capable hands. Nicknamed the Scalino or ‘Stepfront’ due to the bonnet sitting 1cm above the nose of the car to allow for improved cooling, the Sprint GT saw plenty of distinguishing features and upgrades over the standard GT. Externally, in addition to the chrome badging, there was an Alfa Romeo logo on the front grille, rectangular ‘Disegno di Bertone’ badges on the front wheel arches and a flat, chrome grille with rectangular mesh in place of the additional chrome bars giving a more sleek and aggressive look, especially when combined with the single-piece chrome bumpers with no over-riders.Inside, the padded vinyl dashboard was characterised by a concave horizontal fascia, finished in grey anti-glare crackle-effect paint with the four round instruments inset in front of the driver and steering wheel was a non-dished, aluminium tri-spoke thin Bakelite rim.At the car's heart is the sonorous 1570cc all-aluminium, twin overhead camshaft, four-cylinder engine fitted with twin-Weber 40 DCOE carburettors producing over 100bhp at 6,000rpm mated to a quick and precise all-synchromesh, 5-speed manual transmission. The braking system was uncompromised with servo assisted Brembo disc brakes all-round. This magical mixture not only sounds truly incredible but allowed the Sprint GT a top speed of 113mph as observed by Quattroruote in their December 1964 road test.The car on offer here is exceptional, even by the Twin Sparks Collections extremely high standards. The history file is like opening a perfectionist’s brain. Everything is chronological, labelled and sectioned, including a very helpful summary sheet listing which parts were purchased, where from and which part of the car they were for and totals. Excluding any labour, there are bills on file for over £20,000 in parts alone, and clearly this car was not rushed, with perfection and accuracy as priorities.The project car was purchased from Classic Alfa in 18th May 2011 and was completed with the obligatory post-project MOT on 29th November 2013. To say the owner was a marque-enthusiast simply wouldn’t do it justice. Having raced Alfa Romeos for years and being a true guru on the brand, this can be seen in the level of detail on this restoration. Within the history file there are photos showing the car was subjected to a bare metal respray in Rosso Alfa as part of the full rebuild. The majority of the parts were purchased from Classic Alfa, as well as Alfaholics and EB Spares. The ‘other’ section includes specific items such as the engine rebuild, machine work and balancing by Gosnay Engineering. This is especially important as this Sprint GT benefits from a host of mechanical upgrades such as larger GTA-type trumpets, GTA exhaust manifold, front pipe, centre pipe and tailpipe, giving this Alfa a throaty roar. The handling is uprated with larger callipers and discs provided by Classic Alfa and a Koni Sport Handling Kit.This is a car that encapsulates the passion of Alfa Romeo. Superbly built with subtle upgrades, this is a truly outstanding motorcar in looks, performance and style. Given the remarkable growth in Type 105 values over recent years, this may well be one of your better investment decisions.SpecificationMake: ALFA ROMEOModel: GIULIA SPRINT GTYear: 1965Chassis Number: AR751301Registration Number: EGD 936CTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 00502-04926Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 98993 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

1966 Ford F250 6400CC Pick Up Registration: GVU667D Chassis: F25YK808943 Odometer: 13565 Transmission: Manual MOT: Exempt  . Californian import   . Harley Davidson tribute   . Solid chassis and body work   . 4 on the floor manual transmission  . Power steering  . Servo assisted brakes Outside  Finished in gloss orange and matt black as a tribute to Harley Davidson the recent paintwork is in excellent order with no rust or blemishes. The chrome work all looks good as does the oak flooring in the load area which looks as though its never had anything in it. There are some badges missing from the wings and bonnet which the vendor says were stolen when he exhibited the truck at a local show. It has a modern rear step bumper fitted along with tow ball which again looks new. The truck rides on 20 inch alloy wheels with near new General Grabber A/T's all around.  Inside Up front there's a 3 seat vinyl and velour bench seat in maroon with seat belts for all 3 occupants the headlining is also maroon to match.   The exposed metal work of the interior and steering wheel is finished in the same orange as the exterior which along with a period push button stereo isn't as bad as it may sound on paper.  Mechanicals  The 6.4 litre V8 engine runs beautifully breathing through a Holley carb and what looks like recently fitted exhaust tailpipes. Looking under the bonnet its evident there's a few welcome additions including a new filter king fuel pressure regulator, power steering and servo assisted brakes. Driving the truck is quite an experience, the silky V8 engine pulls very well through the "4 on the floor" manual gearbox working seamlessly between ratios with the drum brakes performing surprisingly well when asking for a decrease in speed. The underside of the vehicle is in excellent condition as is usually the case with the Californian imports, if its to be used through the winter on UK roads some form of rust preventive coating would be advisable.  History Other than the V5C we have no other history with the car which was first registered in the UK in 2016 and has had 3 former owners. The vendor informs us that the engine was subject to a service in the summer of 2022.  Our Opinion  What an eye full this expertly finished truck is, if you want to get noticed then this is the one for you. With the desirable manual gearbox coupled to the powerful V8 engine, power steering and servo assisted brakes it would make a great usable truck either for work or pleasure.

The iconic design revered by horological connoisseurs is instantly recognizable with its structured strongbox case with structurally integral octagonal bezel secured by eight hexagonal screws. In 1993, Audemars Piguet took the next step in the evolution of the Royal Oak with the introduction of the Royal Oak Offshore. The first Offshore reference was the 25721ST and the larger dimensions of the watch earned it the nickname 'The Beast'. Over the years Audemars Piguet have released numerous modifications to the model whilst maintaining the key elements conceived first in the 70s by Genta and then in the 90s by Emmanuel Gueit.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: YY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
