PLEASE NOTE: The rear suspension of this lot has not risen to the correct ride height since it's arrival at the sale. However, there is a bill for two high control valvues in the history file dated 28th July 2009. PLEASE NOTE: The estimate for this lot has been revised to 24,000-28,000. - Re-sprayed in 2014 by Barker brothers of Dublin and 67,350 recorded miles - Current ownership since 2004 and benefiting from fettling to the brakes and suspension - Offered with original handbooks, service book, build sheets and original sales invoice - First ownered by Rex Makin - legal advisor to a variety of celebrities and sports personalities including John Lennon, Gerry Marsden, Anne Robinson and Ken Dodd When launched in March 1975, the Camargue was the world's most expensive production car! While it shared the platform of the Shadow and Corniche, the Camargue was the first post-war production Rolls-Royce for which the design was outsourced, and it was penned by Paolo Martin of Pininfarina. The bodies were crafted in London by Mulliner Park Ward. Between 1975 and 1986 just 525 Rolls-Royce Camargues were produced, plus one adorned with Bentley badges. The extremely handsome-looking right-hand drive example now offered is finished in the pleasing combination of Larkspur Blue bodywork and Blue-piped Beige hide trim. It was ordered via Jack Barclay in 1977 and delivered new in August 1980 to Rex Makin, the Liverpool-based lawyer famous for his association with the Beatles. Following a minor accident in 1997 the Rolls was recorded as Category C for insurance purposes because its then custodian initially insisted that it be entrusted to the Crewe factory for repairs, and there are related invoices on file for a new front bumper and paintwork, dated 1998 and 1999 respectively. The vendor acquired the Camargue from Oldtimer Manchester in 2004, in whose care it has spent its recent life in the Republic of Ireland. It is equipped with a Harvey Bailey handling kit and was treated to body repairs and a respray by Pierce Autobody Services in 2014, and has recently benefited from a mechanical overhaul by Barker Brothers of Dublin that included the brake and hydraulic suspension systems. The vendor presently classes the bodywork, paintwork and V8 engine as 'excellent', the automatic transmission as 'very good' and the interior trim as 'good'. Chassis JRH0050469 is now available for sale complete with handbook, service book, factory build sheets, original sales invoice, tool kit and photos of the bodywork restoration. The odometer currently displays an unwarranted 67,341 miles.
- Handbuilt over a 3.5 year period and among the nicest Specials we have encountered - Alvis TA14 chassis, Triumph 2.5 litre engine, 4-speed manual / overdrive gearbox - Bespoke aluminium body, ash frame, alternator, halogen headlights, heated seats, aeronautical switchgear Supplied new to Squadron Leader W.J. Gear MBE, 'GSP 100' began life as an Alvis TA14. A long time attendee at Vintage Sports Car Club events and with thirty-five years' motor industry experience to his credit, the vendor became the car's sixth keeper during April 2010. Keen to create a homage to the distinctive boat-tailed two-seater grand prix cars of the 1920s such as the Alfa Romeo P2 and Bugatti Type 35, he set about completely transforming the Alvis over the next three and a half years. Already bereft of its bodywork, the TA14 was stripped to a bare chassis (which was found to be true when jig checked) before being fitted with a notably handsome two-seater aluminium over ash body. The latter was beautifully crafted by Pete Southan who was one of the team responsible for resurrecting the ex-Lindner / Nocker Low Drag Lightweight E-type. Determined to improve the car's performance the vendor installed a refurbished Triumph six-cylinder engine and four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox. The 2498cc unit has been altered to disguise its c.1960s origins but the original Alvis 1892cc four-cylinder powerplant and transmission come with the car should a new owner wish to re-instate them. Other enhancements to the Special's usability include an alternator, immobiliser, heated seats and halogen headlights. Sporting an aeronautical ignition switch, large diameter rev counter and assorted warning lights, the polished aluminium dashboard is complemented by a bespoke detachable wood-rimmed steering wheel and Navy Blue tonneau cover. A useful luggage / tool cubby exists behind the seats and the car has completed some 1,000 'shakedown' miles including a trip up the Shelsey Walsh hillclimb course in May 2014. Only offered for sale to fund another project, 'GSP 100' is among the nicest Specials we have encountered. Correctly registered with the DVLA, it comes with a comprehensive build file.
- 1 of just 438 RHD UK examples and supplied new by Nigel Mansell Sports Cars Limited - 38,315 miles from new and current ownership since 1999 - Re-painted this year with engine out service in 2013 - Original owner's wallet plus handbooks and service book - Offered with 20 old MOT certificates and collection of invoices Ferrari's mid-engined, flat-12 Testarossa was unveiled to an expectant media at the Champs-Elys£e's Lido nightclub on the eve of the 1984 Paris Salon. Though an evolution of the 512BBi, it had a markedly different appearance. In order not to recreate the high cabin temperatures of its predecessor, the Testarossa featured a pair of rear-mounted radiators rather than the 512BBi's single front-mounted one. This called for large, slatted intake ducts leading from the doors and rear quarter panels, and it was these that gave the newcomer both its distinctive looks and considerable girth - at 77.8 inches, it was nearly 6 in wider than the 512BBi. The model was also longer and higher, resulting in more passenger and luggage accommodation. The Testarossa name (Italian for 'red head') was an echo of Ferrari's immortal Testa Rossa sports racing cars of the 1950s and the engine's cam covers were painted red, as before. The five-litre Colombo-designed unit was very similar to that of the 512BBi, but featured four-valves per cylinder. Together with other improvements, this resulted in a healthy output of 390bhp - sufficient to power the sleek new Prancing Horse to 60mph in just over five seconds and on to a top speed of some 180mph. The Testarossa reigned for seven years, before metamorphosing into the 512TR and finally the 512M. For obvious reasons, examples of the 438 UK market right-hand drive Testarossas increasingly rarely come to market these days. This one, finished in the classic combination of Rosso Red bodywork and Tan hide interior, is a 1990 model that, to this day, has just 38,315 miles to its name. It was supplied new in March of that year by Nigel Mansell Sports Cars Ltd (Blandford) and is quite simply one of the nicest we have encountered, and has clearly been maintained to the highest standards throughout its life. It has remained within the same ownership for the last 18 years and the invoice from that purchase is among the many documents comprising the car's comprehensive history file. The vendor informs us that all the fuel pipes were replaced in 2001, while in 2013 the Prancing Horse was treated to an engine-out service by Key Motorsport of Silverstone, that included the replacement of all perishable items such as hoses etc and a timing belt change, and cost £4,223.53 - photos of this work are also on file. Later that year, the same company was commissioned to replace the clutch and service the air conditioning - the bill that time totalled £2,913.64. Last year Keys undertook an annual service on the car, plus the replacement of two tyres and the fuse board - the owner's expenditure on that occasion was £2,213. As recently as this year, the Ferrari has been resprayed in its original colour of Rosso Corsa; another task that was recorded on camera as part of the car's enviable history. The Ferrari's comprehensive specification includes a Tracker 24 (for which a new owner will need to renew the subscription); a body-coloured front valance which has been in situ from new; and a Sony stereo system with 10-disc autochanger. This notably desirable Testarossa is now being offered complete with: the original owner's wallet containing handbooks and service book; original sales brochure; DVLA history check confirming all six previous keepers; original tool kit; and a large collection of invoices for work carried out, tax discs and 20 old MOT certificates, plus a current one that's valid into October of this year. The vendor has no hesitation in classing the bodywork, paintwork, mid-mounted flat-12 engine and five-speed manual gearbox as 'excellent' and the leather interior trim as 'very good'. With multi-cylinder engines on the wane, the unique wail of a 180mph Testarossa can surely only become ever more sought-after.
