The Chevrolet AK Series pick-up, produced between 1941 and 1947, represents a significant chapter in the history of American trucks. Introduced during a transformative period in automotive design and functionality, the AK Series was built to meet the demands of both commercial and personal use. The AK Series was Chevrolet's response to the need for more robust and versatile vehicles, particularly during World War II. These trucks featured a rugged construction, which made them ideal for both military and civilian applications. The design emphasized utility, with a straightforward, no-frills aesthetic that appealed to a wide range of buyers. The truck's payload capacity was impressive for its time, often exceeding 1,500 pounds, which contributed to its reputation as a workhorse. Styling of the AK Series was characteristic of the era, with a flat front grille and a minimalist cab design. The interior was basic but functional, focusing on durability rather than luxury. This utilitarian approach was well-suited to the needs of those who relied on these trucks for everyday work. In terms of versatility, the AK Series offered a variety of configurations, including standard cab, extended cab, and different bed lengths. This adaptability made it appealing for a range of uses, from farming and construction to family transport. Additionally, the availability of accessories and modifications allowed owners to tailor their trucks to specific needs, enhancing the vehicle's practicality. Post-war, the AK Series played a pivotal role in the economic recovery of the United States. As industries expanded and the demand for goods increased, these trucks became vital for transporting products across the nation. Their durability and reliability helped cement Chevrolet’s reputation as a leader in the pick-up market. Today, the Chevrolet AK Series is celebrated among collectors and vintage vehicle enthusiasts. Its classic design and historical significance make it a desirable choice for restoration projects.This handsome truck is of the ‘cab over engine’ derivative and has been restored over a three-year period. Fitted with a Chevrolet LS6 5.7 litre V8 engine that was custom built by Tim Adams Racing and has covered only 660 miles, it is fair to say this engine sounds superb. The grey bodywork is in great order, having been stripped and sandblasted. The interior is handstitched red leather, with fully electric and heated seats, matching door cards with custom speaker pods and billet aluminium furniture. The wiring is based around a custom-made loom, however everything has been fused and labelled correctly. The suspension is air all-round and is controlled digitally. Custom made electric windows have been fitted along with electronic door openers. The rear load space was built by R Concepts and is largely aluminium. This is a Chevrolet AK pick-up that has had significant sums spent on it in recent times and presents in great order. Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, whether for nostalgic value or practical use, the AK Series remains a testament to Chevrolet’s enduring legacy in the automotive world, blending functionality with a unique charm that continues to capture the hearts of truck lovers. The quality of this Chevrolet AK has to be seen to be appreciated. Consigned by Stewart Banks. THIS C.O.E.

The Jaguar E-Type Flat Floor Coupé is one of the most iconic and desirable classic cars ever produced. When the Jaguar E-Type was introduced in 1961, it stunned the world with its sleek, aerodynamic design, high performance, and relatively affordable price compared to other sports cars of its era. Designed by Malcolm Sayer, the E-Type's curvaceous bodywork was inspired by the company's racing heritage, particularly from the D-Type, and was lauded for its beauty, with the highest compliment being paid by Enzo Ferrari. The Series 1 is often considered the purest form of the E-Type. The model is characterised by its 3.8 litre inline-six engine that delivered a potent 265 horsepower. Coupled with its lightweight monocoque construction and independent suspension, the E-Type could reach a top speed of 150 mph, making it one of the fastest cars of its time. One distinctive feature of the 1962 models, especially the early ones, is the "flat floor" design. These cars had less legroom due to their flat floorpans, a detail that was later altered for improved driver comfort by incorporating a recessed floor. Flat Floor E-Types are particularly rare and sought after by collectors due to this short-lived design characteristic. The interior of the Series I E-Type is just as impressive, featuring leather seats, toggle switches, and a stylish dashboard that oozes vintage charm. Its disc brakes, advanced for the time, gave the car impressive stopping power to match its speed. Today, the Jaguar E-Type Flat Floor Coupé is highly prized among car enthusiasts and collectors, a symbol of British automotive excellence and a timeless design masterpiece.According to the Jaguar Heritage Certificate, this genuine factory right hand drive E-Type was manufactured on 18th December 1961 and was despatched to Henlys in London on 10th January 1962. Finished in Imperial Maroon with Maroon leather interior this Series I was purchased by a wealthy farmer, Albie Malan, in Ladybrand, South Africa. In 1988 it found its way to New Zealand, courtesy of a Mr. John Lawrence where the car would remain for more than 25 years. From 2003 the car was used sparingly with just over 2,000 miles up to 2015 when the E-Type found a new owner based in the UK. Once repatriated, the Jaguar was entrusted to Lincoln-based Richards of England and given a thorough restoration. The car was stripped and taken back to bare metal with focus on retaining as many of the original panels as possible. It is estimated they spent around 500 hours on the fabrication work. The car was repainted to a very high standard in the original Imperial Maroon colour. The engine was rebuilt by M&C Wilkinson and both the gearbox and axle were also rebuilt. This really was a ‘no stone left unturned’ restoration. The chromework, of which there is plenty, was all re-chromed and the interior was retrimmed in Maroon Connolly Vaumol hide. New woolen carpets were fitted along with a new headlining. Richards of England have done a superb job in restoring this Jaguar to an exemplary standard. Chassis number 860120 is the 120th right hand drive coupé manufactured thus making it a rare model. This outstanding Jaguar is supplied with a V5 registration document, a Jaguar Heritage Certificate and a comprehensive history folder. Interested parties are advised to view this E-Type flat floor in person to fully appreciate the quality of this beautiful example. Consigned by Stewart Banks.

The Aston Martin DP214 is a rare and legendary race car, designed in the early 1960s as a part of Aston Martin’s "Development Project" series. Created specifically to compete in high stakes “World Endurance races” such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans; the DP214 holds a special place in Aston Martin's racing history. Martin Brewer’s involvement with the DP214 has helped to keep this iconic car alive in the world of historic motorsports. Only two original DP214s were built, making them incredibly rare. The car was an evolution of the DB4 GT and, more specifically, the DB4 GT Zagato, both of which were high-performance models of the DB4. The DP214 was developed by Ted Cutting, Aston Martin’s chief designer at the time, who focused on reducing weight and improving aerodynamics for better performance on the track. This design work was essential in creating a vehicle capable of competing against other powerful race cars of its era, like Ferrari’s 250 GTO. The DP214 featured a lightweight aluminium body and an upgraded version of Aston Martin’s straight-six engine. This was paired with a five-speed manual transmission, which was rare for its time. The car could reach speeds of over 180 mph on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans, an impressive feat for the era. Its design emphasized aerodynamic efficiency, with a sleek, elongated body, a rear spoiler for stability at high speed and carefully sculpted lines to reduce drag. Martin Brewer’s involvement with the Aston Martin DP214 comes through his efforts in preserving and racing a tool room copy of the original DP214. Given that one of the original DP214s was destroyed in a tragic accident at the Nürburgring in dreadful weather conditions, certain enthusiasts have undertaken the challenge of keeping the spirit of the DP214 alive through accurately crafted replicas. The two most prominent recreations, of which this is one, have been built to exacting standards, using original design specifications and where possible, period-correct materials and genuine Aston Martin parts. They offer a rare glimpse into the past and allow modern audiences to experience the DP214's performance and style.Purchased by Martin Brewer some 18 years ago, this tool room copy of DP214 has competed at many of the British circuits and extensively in Europe, as well as competing at Laguna Seca in California. The car was originally built by Adrian Johnson at Post Vintage Engineers and has been continuously fettled by the Runnymede team along the way. The engine, which produces approximately 385 BHP was painstakingly rebuilt by James Hipwell at Warren Heath Engineering, the build of which included a steel crankshaft, a lightened flywheel, high compression pistons and Carillo con-rods, with the 12 plug cylinder head being gas flowed and with fuel being supplied via triple 50DCOE Weber carburettors. A very sturdy custom-built roll-cage adds to the driver safety, together with five-point harness safety belts. The car has proved to be utterly reliable and Martin has enjoyed considerable success at the wheel of this rare Aston Martin. The car’s achievements in competition are too numerous to list but include two wins at Laguna Seca in Monterey and a win at Silverstone in 2018. Perhaps one of his most pleasurable achievements, was sharing the car with Iain Rowley at the Spa Summer Classic in 2019, when the car was last raced and coming second against strong opposition at the age of 75. In 2023 Martin spent over £12,000 on the car with Rex Woodgate & Co at Silverstone in preparation for the 2024 season, although unfortunately, it has not been raced this year for personal reasons. Race cars can often look a little scruffy and bruised, this is not the case with this Aston Martin. It always presents well and can be used as a road car should you choose to do so. Martin Brewer has been known to drive the car to the Le Mans classic, such is the flexibility of this Aston Martin. It is supplied with a V5C registration document and very comprehensive history files.One of the remaining original Aston Martin Project cars sold in 2018 for $21,455,000 including buyer’s premium by R M Sotheby’s. This ‘tool room copy’ appears to be realistically estimated given the quality and history of the car. This DP214 is not merely a showpiece but has been built to perform on the track, embodying the legacy of Aston Martin’s engineering prowess and racing spirit. The DP214 remains an iconic chapter in Aston Martin’s racing history, cherished and celebrated by enthusiasts who ensure its legacy endures. Consigned by Stewart Banks.

Over £160,000 invested in maintenance in current ownershipJapanese rally entrant in the last few yearsBest of Class at the 2019 Salon Privé ConcoursThe Bentley 3½ Litre (later enlarged to 4¼ Litre) was produced by Bentley from 1933 to 1939. It was presented to the public at Ascot Racecourse in September 1933, shortly after the death of Henry Royce, and was the first new Bentley model following Rolls-Royce's acquisition of the Bentley brand in 1931. Bentley sold only the drivable bare rolling chassis with engine and gearbox, scuttle and radiator, ready for coachbuilders to construct on it a body to the buyer's requirements. Many distributors ordered their preferred bodies as showroom stock to enable them to stock finished cars ready for immediate sale. Bentleys of this era are known as Derby Bentleys because they were built in the Rolls-Royce factory located in Derby, England. Those of Bentley's previous independent era are Cricklewood Bentleys.Chassis series A to F were 3½ Litre cars; G to L (excluding I) were 4¼ Litres, and the M series was the 4¼ Litre Overdrive chassis. Each series consisted of 100 chassis numbers, either odd or even. The numbers 13 and 113 in each series were not used, to avoid upsetting superstitious customers. The new Bentley engine was re-configured from the 20/25’s 2¾-liter motor by increasing displacement, adding a new cross-flow head, twin SU carburettors, higher compression ratio and a re-profiled camshaft. The result was a fast, smooth, long-lasting, responsive and excellent-handling car that was marketed as “The Silent Sports Car.” The Derby Bentley rapidly became the favoured car for the boy and girl-racers of the day.With graceful coachwork, and few cars offering more fun behind the wheel than the Derby Bentleys of the 1930s, Bentley enthusiasts have always recognized that the quality of the cars with the 3½ Litre Bentley providing brisk acceleration and responsive handling, and with a top speed of over 90 mph and its low-revving engine that can cruise all day at highway speeds, ideal for the enthusiast who loves to drive.One such enthusiast is the owner of this example. A unique and handsome all-weather tourer bodied by Barker of London in 1934. In current ownership since 2014, the Bentley was purchased with the purpose of participating in overseas events, in particular the 2017 Kyoto - Tokyo Rally. In preparation for this and other events this Bentley enjoyed a significant amount of mechanical refurbishment by leading restorer Ashton Keynes Vehicle Restorations in the UK. Over a four year period between 2015 and 2019 a significant sum was invested in mechanical repairs and refurbishment, to produce a car capable of being shipped far overseas and immediately entered into long distance events. Unusually the radiator, head lights and other parts of the front of the car which would normally be in chrome are since new in this case silver plated.As testament to its condition is a Best of Class win at the 2019 Salon Privé Concours at Blenheim Palace.The history file includes invoices to the tune of circa £165,000 in our vendors ownership. The car of late has been dry stored in the UK whilst our owner lives abroad, and so it has been decided to find a new home for the vehicle. The result of a huge amount of expenditure and expertise over a number of years with leading specialists this is a very well sorted, a rare example of a four door Derby providing for the rear passengers an extra element of comfort whilst a handsome post-vintage Bentley ready for its next adventure.
