Registartion - LP62 YAHChassis No. - ZAMVL45C000068853M.O.T. - January 2025Odometer - 30,460Presenting in stunning and less common Rosso Mondiale and hunkered down on its 20-inch “Astro” alloy wheels finished in Grigio Mercury, LP62 YLH is hard to ignore. It has a provenance to match, too. With just two owners to date and only 30,860 miles troubling the odometer, this is an unusually lightly used example. Being the Sport model, LP62 YLH relies on the mighty and handsome Ferrari built F136Y 4.7-litre V8 for propulsion. Belting out 454 bhp in this guise at a sonorous 7,000 rpm and feeding a six speed ZF automatic transmission, LP62 YLH is a 180 mph plus GT car masterclass. Complete with a full service history and paperwork dating back to the original bill of sale, LP62 YLH represents a tantalising ownership prospect. The former confirms the specifying of around £3,500 worth of desirable options. These include comfort pack, Bose surround sound system, custom seat stitching and embroidered Maserati tridents to the seat backs, auto dimming exterior mirrors, the special paint and sublime 20-inch alloys. Please note – the personalised registration number shown in our photographs is being retained by the current owner.Maserati were forced to develop the Granturismo in a record breaking nine months. This was due to Fiat Group cousins, Ferrari, pulling rank and pinching Maserati’s planned GT Coupe model to release it as the California. Despite this unseemly rush the Granturismo was widely lauded. It looked fantastic, obviously, having originated from Pininfarina. LP62 YLH exhibits these sublime lines dramatically, courtesy of its Rosso Mondiale livery. The cabin is no less arresting thanks to the ample use of traditional Poltrano Frau leather in a Nero finish, Eco Chrome detailing, Rosso double needle stitching and embroidered trident emblems.The current owner rates both paintwork and bodywork as “good.” It’s not perfect of course, this is an 11 year old car after all, but imperfections seem confined to the odd carpark type ding, some stone chips here and there and a slither of kerb rash to one wheel. The underside has even been professionally waxoiled. The cabin is appropriately scored as “excellent,” however. With such light use to date, everything in here looks pristine and is thought to work as it should. Given its fastidious service history, LP62 YLH should be considered mechanically sound. The brake lines have been upgraded to Ferrari F430 braided items in current ownership. Only the sports mode exhaust valves are noted as not working.In summary:· A low mileage, low owner example of the more powerful Sport model· Presenting in a highly Maserati appropriate, vibrant livery· Offered with a full service history and ample paperwork file

Registration - V8 URJChassis No. - ZAMBC38C000010481M.O.T. - September 2025Odometer - 78,218‘V8 URJ’s’ muscular Giorgetto Giugiaro designed bodywork looks fantastic in its Grigio Nuvolari livery. A true four-seater Italian thoroughbred GT, ‘V8 URJ’ is offered here in fine order and under the stewardship of its fifth owner. With 78,218 miles covered to date, ‘V8 URJ’ is a rare car being one of just 265 right hand drive models ever built. Acquired by the current keeper in September 2021 and having covered only around 3,000 miles in this ownership. It has enjoyed an oil and filter change each subsequent year during this ownership. Benefitting from a comprehensive service history and a generous accompanying archive of paperwork, ‘V8 URJ’ comes with its original tool kit, manuals and long MOT valid until September 2025.The heart of ‘V8 URJ’ is surely its F136 R V8 version of the mighty Ferrari / Maserati engine. As powerful as it is good looking, this unit was originally rated at 385 bhp at a sonorous 7,000 rpm.’V8 URJ’ comes with the purists’ choice of traditional six-speed manual gearbox and its accompanying three pedals. This combination would have originally gifted ‘V8 URJ’ a 170mph plus top speed and a 0-60mph time of under five seconds. The admired Skyhook adaptive damping system was cutting edge for 2003 and endows a 4200GT with admirable road dynamics. The sporting cabin of ‘V8 URJ’ is no less impressive and finished in cream leather with caramel coloured piping. There is plenty of Italianate detailing in here, from the elliptical clock to the embossed trident motifs on the headrests of the high backed sports seats. The rear seats are surprisingly commodious and actually useable despite the swooping coupe bodywork. The condition throughout appears excellent and commensurate with a considerate, even pampered ownership history.With the dynamic prowess of the Ferrari derived V8 howler of an engine and an impressive combination of poise and comfort afforded by the Skyhook system, the 4200GT quickly became a well respected alternative to the usual suspects of 911 or XK8. Importantly the 4200GT offers the benefit of being significantly more commodious than either for both people and luggage. A great value modern classic GT hero car, surely.In summary:Looking highly desirable thanks to accomplished styling and an appealing liveryOffering a full service history and ample accompanying paperworkA rare, Ferrari engine GT with room for four and their weekend luggage

Registration - AK51 SWKChassis No. - ZAMAA38D000004150M.O.T. - September 2025Odometer - 32,438This exceptional Maserati 3200 GT is a genuine one-owner from new example, presented in pale blue. Featuring Maserati’s 3.2-litre twin-turbo V8 up front, ‘AK51 SWK’ is fitted with the four-speed automatic for a true Grand Tourer experience. Maserati’s famous boomerang rear lights are the highlight of the exterior features, this 3200 GT is awash with fantastic touches, such as the iconic trident on the C-pillars, wheels, and grille, and the quad exhausts hinting at performance potential. The cabin is trimmed in cream leather upholstery, covering the seats, centre console, and much of the dashboard and doors, though there is contrasting grey leather topping the dash and flowing to the base of the doors.A low mileage example, ‘AK51 SWK’ comes with 10 months MOT. The cam belt was changed 4,000 miles ago, and the vendor has cherished this Italian thoroughbred. There is no rust reported anywhere, either on the underside or showing in the body panels, and the 3200 GT comes with two keys. An indicated 32,438 miles on the odometer shows that it has been enjoyed, but not extensively, in its 23 years on the road, and the owner rates this Maserati as in exceptional overall condition, with all aspects - including engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, interior, and paint - considered ‘excellent’.Beautifully kept Maserati 3200 GT autoFeatures the characterful 3.2-litre twin-turbo V8Genuine one owner exampleIntroduced in 1998, Maserati eschewed the tradition of naming its models after winds, because VW had the rights to the name it wanted, so the 3200 GT was launched. Linking back to the 3500 GT, Maserati’s first GT, the name comes from the 3.2-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, which produced 370hp when new. One of the most striking design touches on the sleek four-seater were the thin, curved ‘boomerang’ rear lights, which were dropped for more conventional clusters when the 3200 GT was replaced with the similar 4200 GT. Available with either manual or automatic transmission, the 3200 GT also saw a Assetto Cross special edition launched in 2001, with just 259 models produced, featuring a special handling package for improved performance. The 3200 GT was produced for four years when replaced by what was an evolution model, the 4200 GT, in 2002.

The abbreviated Latin legend on the obverse translates as "Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of the Britons, Defender of the Faith."At the time of Peck's writing in 1958 only dies numbers 3 and 4 were known for the 1863 Penny. It is thought that the reverses were numbered by the date as a means of quality control by the Royal Mint to principally see firstly how well the coins were struck by the machinery and their operators but also to perhaps track how they fared in circulation. It would seem that die identification was trialled first in 1862 with the Halfpenny where certain very rare reverses have a die letter A, B or C added by the lighthouse. The numbering of certain dies then commences with the Penny dated 1863 where numbers added below the date have been recorded as high as 5 (so far) which may all have been an initial proto-phase before a more extensive die numbering programme commences across all the gold Sovereigns and Half-Sovereigns, silver Florins, Shillings, and Sixpences.Michael Gouby in the “British Bronze Penny” at time of his writing states that fifteen examples of die number 4 were known.Provenance:Ex Dix, Noonan and Webb, 12th December 2005, lot 700, where noted no example of this die number was present in Freeman or Adams collections.

Minton officially became Resident Engraver in 1865 after the death of previous holder George Wyon, the son of James Wyon, in 1862. This post was abolished once Mr Minton passed away in April 1879.William Theed (1804-91) was a painter and sculptor and worked as a designer at Wedgewood. He prepared models of Victoria’s bust which were adapted to coinage for Malta, Strait Settlements, British Honduras and others.

Giordano Jr. he remarks that this modern battleship proposed design was modified from the traditional reverse by artist Charles Walter Coombes. The final design for the Edward VIII Penny and that approved for currency under George VI removed the ship completely leaving the sea only to right of Britannia. The only location Giordano gives for an example of this pattern in his work is the Royal Mint Museum, which is believed to be the only other example in existence.

This coin is amongst the best survivors available with a good provenance. This coin is more or less on par with the other example of this variety in this sale grade-wise, and does not exhibit the doubled T overstrike on the obverse and seems to have a slight lower zero in date too, meaning both obverse and reverse are different die varieties to the other Freeman 9 in this sale.Provenance:Ex Malcolm Gilbert Collection, portion sold to dealer Ian Robinson.Ex Ian Robinson, dealer of Burgess Hill, West Sussex, purchased 30th December 2003, was the finest known at time of sale.

It would seem that die identification was trialled first in 1862 with the Halfpenny where certain very rare reverses have a die letter A, B or C added by the lighthouse. The numbering of certain dies then commences with the Penny dated 1863 where numbers added below the date have been recorded as high as 5 (so far) which may all have been an initial proto-phase before a more extensive die numbering programme commences across all the gold Sovereigns and Half-Sovereigns, silver Florins, Shillings, and Sixpences.Michael Gouby in the “British Bronze Penny” at time of his writing states that five examples of die number 3 were known.Provenance:Ex Michael J.

It is thought that the reverses were numbered by the date as a means of quality control by the Royal Mint to principally see firstly how well the coins were struck by the machinery and their operators but also to perhaps track how they fared in circulation. It would seem that die identification was trialled first in 1862 with the Halfpenny where certain very rare reverses have a die letter A, B or C added by the lighthouse. The numbering of certain dies then commences with the Penny dated 1863 where numbers added below the date have been recorded as high as 5 (so far) which may all have been an initial proto-phase before a more extensive die numbering programme commences across all the gold Sovereigns and Half-Sovereigns, silver Florins, Shillings, and Sixpences.Michael Gouby in the “British Bronze Penny” at time of his writing states that five examples of die number 3 were known.Provenance:Purchased from Bruce Lorich, of Pennsylvania USA, 24th November 2014.
