1964 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Coupe- A matching numbers example displaying a credible 21,339 miles- Recently treated to a classic Jaguar alloy radiator, Coolcat fan, silicone radiator hoses, Polybush steering rack mounts, upgraded engine mounts and H4 headlight upgrades- Tended to by Moss Jaguar Ltd and offered with a fresh MOTReceived wisdom says that to become truly valuable, cars have to be both desirable and rare, in which case Jaguar's immortal E-Type is the exception that proves the rule. Nobody is denying its desirability - remember that no lesser an automotive authority than Enzo Ferrari dubbed it the 'most beautiful car ever made' - but with a production run topping 77,000, rare it most certainly is not. Yet, unquestionably stoked by the car's still relatively recent 50th anniversary, the market for Malcolm Sayer's masterpiece has been decidedly buoyant for all versions. Enthusiast drivers will tell you that the best on-road experience is provided by the Series II Coupe, while purists understandably decry that model's federal lights and bumpers, and will hear only of the early Series I cars, as powered by the original 3.8-litre engine. In their eyes, first is best.Current values support this thinking, which brings us to the example on offer - a lefthand drive September 1963 3.8-engined Coupe finished in Primrose Yellow and trimmed in Black. It was shipped new to Jaguar Cars New York and on to California where 'PTU 342B' has spent the bulk of its life. It is understood to have been used sparingly, meaning the indicated mileage of just 21,339 is credible, though not warranted. The Jaguar returned to these shores in late 2015, since when it has been tended to by Moss Jaguar Ltd, who have: stripped and Waxoyled the doors; installed a new Classic Jaguar alloy radiator, Coolcat fan, silicone radiator hoses, Polybush steering rack mounts, upgraded engine mounts, and exhaust heat shields; fitted Dynamat to the floor pans and H4 headlight upgrades; and powder or nickel plated various under-bonnet parts. The vendor presently grades the interior trim as 'very good' and the bodywork, paintwork, engine and transmission as 'good', and is offering the car with a new MOT.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1961 Lotus Elite S2- Supplied new to Gilby Engineering and raced by Keith Greene in period- Recent comprehensive restoration by Mk14 Components, blue with black interior- 5 speed Ford Type 9 gearbox, offered by renowned Lotus enthusiast and collector"The road manners of the Elite come as near to those of a racing car as the ordinary motorist would ever experience" (Autocar, May 1960)Unveiled at the1957 London Motor Show, the Elite (Type 14) was not only Colin Chapman's first production road car but also the world's first fibreglass monocoque (a contributory factor to its reputed 684kg kerb weight). Perhaps influenced by the FIA's recently introduced 1300cc GT racing class, the newcomer's specification included F2-derived all-round independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes (inboard at the rear). Powered by a Coventry-Climax SOHC four-cylinder engine mated to four-speed manual transmission, its amazing 0.29 cd allowed all but the basic variant to claim a top speed of over 120mph. The work of Peter Kirwin-Taylor, aerodynamicist Frank Costin and John Frayling, the coupe's super sleek silhouette is still considered a masterpiece. Unsurprisingly, given its radical design (and Chapman's budget constraints), the first running prototype did not emerge until May 10th 1958. Driven straight to Silverstone by Ian Walker, it promptly won a production sports car race against 1600cc opposition. As successful abroad as on British circuits the Elite won its class at Le Mans every year from 1959-1964. Although, the contract to manufacture the Type 14's innovative GRP monocoque was initially entrusted to Maximar boatbuilders, it was transferred after 280 or so units to the Bristol Aircraft company. Coinciding with revisions to the rear suspension layout, an improved interior and increased engine power, this switch heralded the emergence of the Series Two in mid-1960.Chassis 1471, a Bristol bodied car, was delivered new in January 1961 to Formula One team Gilby Engineering for Keith Greene to compete in sports car events and, we understand, was fully prepared for racing by Lotus themselves. Conversations with Keith Greene subsequently confirmed its competition life was a brief one due to teething problems and the weakness of the early suspension pick up points. The car was returned to the factory for this to be rectified. The car was then sold on, being registered as a road car in December 1961. At this time, it retained the full race bottom end, initially with an MG gearbox fitted, before the original ZF unit was purchased from Gilby and reinstalled. It then changed hands in 1964 and again in 1965 before being put into long term storage around 1966 by the then owner who always intended to recommission the car. Work commitments prevented this and it was acquired by the previous owner from him in 2006. The original engine and ZF gearbox having disappeared over the years, a full restoration was finally commenced. The Chassis Body Unit was repaired and painted in metallic blue and a new sub frame fitted, whilst the FWE Climax engine was completed to a high standard with a steel crank, lightened flywheel and forged pistons. It was also converted to accept unleaded fuel. Running on twin 40 DCOE Webers, power output was recorded as a healthy 105bhp. Cooling is provided by an all alloy radiator with an 11" electric fan. A Ford Type 9 five-speed gearbox was also fitted. With similar ratios to those found in the ZF unit and a fifth gear, the car is capably relaxed and quite at home in modern traffic conditions. Other modifications include rose joints on the rear suspension, a 50 amp Dynator in place of the original dynamo and retrimming of the seats and door cards in black leather. Completed in 2014, it was purchased by the vendor, a renowned Lotus enthusiast and collector, directly from Mk14 Components Ltd and is only being offered for sale due his recent acquisition of another example. The car has recently had an MOT inspection, valid until June 2018. It has also received a full Service in June of this year, from Tolman Motorsport. Invited to the 60th anniversary celebrations at Castle Combe in May, it will afterwards be featured in Classic & Sportscar magazine. A fully restored example with period race history, 1471 ticks all the right boxes and should appeal to Lotus collectors everywhere.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1964 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII- The original sales invoice shows this splendid looking Austin-Healey 3000 was sold new to a lady in Tucson, Arizona, in July 1964- Appearing to remain with the original owner until being sold in August 1989 and promptly exported to England, converted to RHD, and registered in June 1990- Only two UK owners who both invested significantly in the matching-numbers car with the right people to make it a fabulous example in looks, sound, and drivabilityThe original sales invoice and Arizona title documents on file for this fabulous looking Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII (Phase 1) show it was ordered on July 18th 1964 from Precision Motors in Tucson for delivery that Sunday at 1:00pm. It was titled to two ladies, and seeing as Nancy Lee Burks was just 25 years old at the time, it is presumed that Mary was her mother and perhaps the shiny Colorado Red British sports car was a very generous 25th birthday present. The car did not stray far during its life in America, as after being supplied by Precision Motors (a company that is still thriving today as Toyota dealership) for the sum of $4,254.65 including a radio and taxes, Nancy Lee lived just a few blocks away from Precision and retained the car until 1989 by which time she was fifty years old and her maiden name of Burks had become Thomas.After selling the car in August 1989 it appears the car was promptly exported to England and converted to right hand drive, presumably by Barrie Richards of Barries Garage, Smethwick. Sold by Barries Garage (trading as Bellbrook Limited) in August 1990 to a Mr Grant Nowell-Mitchell of Pershore, its history since is well documented by its two enthusiastic UK owners.Mr Nowell-Mitchell preceded to use the car sparingly over the summer months for the next few years, and upon extracting the car from the garage in 1999 it was apparent that a furry creature had enjoyed nibbling away at the original black vinyl interior. 1999 proved to be an expensive year as a new black leather interior was installed in August along with the fitment of Minilite style road wheels, and in November the engine was sent somewhere to be fitted with new pistons, camshafts, aluminium radiator, triple Weber 45 carburettors, and a stainless-steel exhaust manifold and system.However, a mechanical failure resulted in Mr Nowell-Mitchell requesting the Austin-Healey experts Denis Welch Motorsport to build a Fast Road Engine for him. During 2001 and 2002 over £15,000 was spent on the car building the engine with steel crank and rods and performance inlet manifolds as well as many other engine works, plus thoroughly overhauling the suspension. The gearbox is reported to have received attention but no invoice is available, whereas the invoices from Denis Welch thoroughly detailing the works are in the file.The vendor (an historic racing competitor aboard a Ford Mustang) purchased the car from Denis Welch Motorsport in September 2011 after Mr Nowell-Mitchel is believed to have passed away. After Denis Welch carried out a service the car was sent to world renowned historic racing experts Blakeney Motorsport for fast-road and light competition preparation. During the next two years over £22,000 were spent on the car on works such as fitting competition front and rear wheel hubs, larger front brake discs and callipers, uprated rear brake drums, fitting a superb sounding side-exit exhaust, modifying the driver's seat to offer extra side support, new rear suspension springs, a new steering box, and an overhauled rear axle with new LSD unit. To complete the works, the paint was refreshed in late 2012.After taking part in events such as the 2012 VSCC Pomeroy Trophy at Silverstone, Goodwood Road Racing Club (GRRC) Spring Sprint at Goodwood, Aston Martin Owners Club Summer Sprint at Goodwood, and the 2013 VSCC Pomeroy Trophy and GRRC Spring Sprint, and car was retired from competitive work and has since been used as an extremely enjoyable road car.This is a thoroughly sorted, super looking, and fabulous sounding Austin-Healey 3000 that has had an extraordinary amount of love and money lavished upon it by the best names in the historic car world. There can only be a few 3000 MkIII's out there that have their original supplying documents, are presented in their original colours, still have their original matching numbers engine, plus have had such significant recent expenditure. This is one of them.Accompanying the car are the previously mentioned original sales invoice and Arizona title documents, plus a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate (which states overdrive, wire wheels and a heater as the main extra equipment), the previous owners detailed account of his ownership dated October 2010, the front and rear bumpers, about fifteen previous MOT certificates, and a comprehensive number of invoices from Denis Welch Motorsport and Blakeney Motorsport detailing all the work carried out on the car.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.
