1973 Aston Martin V8 Series 2 Sports Saloon Registration no. 3786 VC Chassis no. V8/10678/RCA Engine no. V540/534•Present family ownership since 1990•Automatic transmission•33,625 miles recorded•£23,000 spent in the last couple of years•Requires detail finishingFootnotes:The lady vendor's late husband acquired this Series 2 V8 on 28th April 1990. It has not really been used since his passing in 2007 and has a low recorded mileage of 33,625. The car has participated in numerous motoring events, most notably the 1999 Targa Tasmania Rally, where it came 1st in class (details and photographs of this event and others are available if required). The AMOC Register lists two outings at the Goodwood Sprint in 1999. Over the years this car has undergone numerous repairs and mechanical upgrades, was looked after for a number of years by Rikki Cann. It has had the chassis overhauled, cutting out all rust from sills, radius arm mounting points renewed, etc. The engine was rebuilt; the gearbox had a quick shift fitted; the brakes were updated; and the brake master cylinder replaced. The car has also had the original upholstery replaced with that of a later Aston Martin V8. The upholstery is cream leather, piped with blue. In 2021 the car had a bare metal re-spray in Salisbury Blue, the original colour. Davron have carried out work on the car between 2018 to 2022, however nly the invoices available are for the most recent work as the history file has unfortunately been misplaced. The lights, windscreen wipers, passenger-side window and various other items of door furniture (removed for the re-spray) have not been replaced. The car is running and in a (mechanically) driveable state but the aforementioned components need re-attaching before it can be legally taken on the road. Nevertheless, the car is mechanically and cosmetically in very good condition, having had £23,000 spent on achieving just that in the last couple of years.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1913 Napier 15hp Doctor's Coupé Registration no. LK 6256 Chassis no. 12165•Rare model from a premier make•One of 3,274 15hp models made•Seven owners from newFootnotes:Best known for its highly successful WWI aero engines, the precision engineering firm of D Napier & Son of Lambeth was first established in 1808. Headed by Montague Napier, the company turned to automobile manufacture at the turn of the 19th Century, swiftly forging a formidable reputation thanks to the racing and record breaking exploits of its sole distributor, S F Edge. The company manufactured a diverse range of engine types before introducing the world's first commercially successful six in 1904 and moving into the luxury car market. Outclassed by Rolls-Royce's Silver Ghost, Napier's larger models faded away after 1911, to be replaced by more modest offerings.Developed from an earlier 15hp model launched in 1907 as a more affordable foil to the huge sixes that had established Napier's reputation, the four-cylinder 15hp introduced at Olympia in 1910 was the company's most successful model. 'A sturdy car without frills,' it cost £350 in chassis form, to which Napier's own four-seater bodywork added an extra £80 (plus an extra £7 for the windscreen). The 15hp Colonial model was produced especially for those countries where rough roads prevailed, featuring raised suspension, larger wheels and an engine installed 'back to front' so that the large flywheel was protected by the front axle. As the flywheel rotated in the opposite direction to other Napiers, it was dubbed the 'anti-clockwise' model.The Napier offered here is a unique example of an Edwardian motor car in highly original condition, having had only seven owners in its 100-plus years of history. Seating is three inside and two in the uncovered dickey at the rear. The four-cylinder 15hp engine has three forward gears plus reverse. The car has brakes on the rear wheels only, and a transmission brake operated by pedal. Top speed is around 50mph. An electric fuel pump, electric starter, and a Zenith carburettor are sensible provisions.The original owner in 1913 was a Harley Street doctor, who was followed in 1921 by Mr A V Campbell-Lambert. Mr Campbell-Lambert drove the Napier until he was 90 years old, taking it on numerous continental holidays in the 1920s and 1930s. Upon Mr Campbell-Lambert's death in 1964, his grandson inherited the Napier, joining the VCC a year later. He took it on numerous rallies before selling the car in 1985. For 30 years, 'LK 6256' was owned by the same family and actively rallied both at home and abroad, always proving reliable. The current vendor purchased the Napier in September 2021 , since then it has been used for local rallies and shows. Finished in blue/black with blue leather interior, this charming 'Brass Era' motor car is offered with a VCC Certificate of Dating and a V5C registration document.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A UK-delivered Clio Williams 1, one of only 390 and restored to a fanatical level.It’s the early 1990s, and the 1.8-litre Clio 16v is locked in combat for hot-hatch glory with the ageing Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9. It’s a better car by many objective criteria, but not a convincingly faster one and, in the eyes of many, the GTI still holds the crown. It took a truly special car to convincingly wrestle supremacy away from Peugeot, to really bury the old-timer and to refine the class in the process. That car was the Clio Williams.Sold with the compelling marketing strategy of an F1 team association, the Williams was actually an homologation special in the familiar mould. It was built because RenaultSport wanted to go rallying and the class maximum displacement stood at 2.0-litres. Given this was still the era of homologation into classes A and N, Renault simply had to build 2,500 road cars to qualify although it would eventually build many more. The initial production run of the Clio Williams was limited to just 5,400 examples, of which only 390 came to the UK.Naturally, RenaultSport did a thorough job. The suspension used a reinforced front subframe borrowed from the Clio Cup racer, plus uprated springs, dampers, rear torsion arms and thicker anti-roll bars. The track was increased by 34mm and the 7J Speedline alloys were half an inch wider than the 16v’s and distinctively gold. The gearbox was stronger, too, with revised ratios. There was just one exterior colour offered for the first generation of Williams – ‘449’ Metallic Sports Blue – and the cumulative effect of body (already blistered of arch, front, and rear, and bulging of bonnet from the 16v), paint and those golden wheels was as close to hot-hatch perfection as many felt it was possible to get. It's a small car, with a wheel pushed to the very extremity of each corner; a little shorter, slightly wider, and significantly lower than a Clio 172 or 182.Codenamed ‘F7R’ and developed from the 16v’s 137bhp F7P unit, the new engine featured a longer stroke and bigger bore size, and benefited from a stronger crankshaft (borrowed from the diesel Clio) plus new pistons, camshafts and conrods, with bigger valves and a lightweight exhaust manifold. Output was now 148bhp at 6,100rpm and 126lb/ft at 4,500rpm, not enormous by today's standards but 85% of the torque was available from 2,500rpm and the car only weighed 981kg. The car presented here is a 1993 Renault Clio Williams (Phase 1), #0179, and was originally supplied though Renault Manchester on the 31st December 1993, initially wearing the private registration ‘5174 MP’ and then, in 1997, this was removed and DVLA issued the current registration of ‘L299 LCK’.The car is accompanied by a comprehensive service history from new, with 15 stamps in its original service book, a history file with numerous receipts for parts and service work over the years, along with 15 MOT certificates. Back in 2010, ‘L299 LCK’ was taken off the road with a comprehensive restoration planned and was well stored in a dry garage until 2018 when our vendor became its owner and embarked on the most complete and detail-laden restoration imaginable.In our vendor's words, “The stunning car you see before you is the result of many years of work carried out by a retired car restorer who rebuilt this car purely for pleasure and without any budget or time restrictions. The body itself was in very good order having spent many years in dry storage, many new old stock parts were used where available, these include a genuine Renault windscreen, exhaust, dampers, and many more; the engine has been fully rebuilt and balanced, a genuine water pump and cambelt kit fitted, whilst the gearbox has been refurbished with new bearings and seals.All the suspension components and dampers are new, along with new brake components and refurbished genuine Renault brake callipers. As you would expect, the paintwork is totally flawless along with the plastic trims and mouldings, the glass is all genuine and still wears the cars original matching security numbers. The car’s specification is very original with only a couple of modern-day upgrades, the engine mounts are modern Vibra-Technics units, and a soft clutch conversion has been completed making the clutch pedal much more useable on a daily basis.”This is an opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable homologation road cars of the last 30 years. Whilst in ‘better than new’ condition and preserved for years to come, this sparkling little Clio remains eminently useable and may turn out to be a rather shrewd purchase.SpecificationMake: RENAULTModel: CLIO WILLIAMS PHASE 1Year: 1993Chassis Number: VF1C57M0510844746Registration Number: L299 LCKTransmission: ManualEngine Number: C005159 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 101600 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images
The original Turbo. One of only 74, UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 3-litre cars presented in gleaming black with olive green leather and on offer from 43 years single private ownership.This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of one of only 74 right-hand drive, 3-litre 930 Turbos supplied directly to the UK. Offered directly from 43-years single private ownership (just two owners in total) and spectacularly presented in solid Schwartz (700) paintwork with an olive green leather interior and matched green carpets, possibly unique in this colour combination. Whilst in the ownership of our vendor, this rare classic Porsche has been enjoyed regularly and always maintained by the same expert Porsche specialists who know the car rather well.In 1997, the decision was taken to undertake a full bare-metal body restoration to have the old 911 looking its best once again. Our vendor confirms that in his ownership the Turbo has had no accident damage and during the restoration no evidence of damage was discovered. Two new front wings, new front and rear bumpers were expertly replaced and a nearside Porsche door mirror fitted (for safety) before the original colour was re-applied. The windscreen was replaced with one which has an integrated aerial, so the new offside wing has not been drilled for a conventional aerial. The front fog lights were removed and replaced with Cibie driving lights, which are activated when main beam is selected, giving excellent road illumination. A detailed invoice supports the works carried out over 317 hours which cost £5,388 in total, and this is accompanied by a portfolio of 39 photographs documenting the restoration. At 72,493 miles the speedometer failed and a new unit was fitted, however, the original unit is included in the sale and, when combined, the total mileage recorded is c.103,610. For the last 43 years, the cosseted Turbo has been dry stored in a temperature-controlled garage when not in use and as such remains beautifully preserved since the restoration and ready to offer another 40+ years of enjoyable motoring.Presented for auction having just had a major engine-out service and detailed mechanical check-over which included removing and refurbishing the turbo, replacing brake pipes, new calipers and the brake master cylinder (£7,000).Accompanied by a large history file including service invoices dating back to 1979, a wealth of old MOT certificates, its Porsche wallet with manuals, the original tool kit, original jack and spare wheel, original tyre compressor, original first aid kit (unused), original spare bulb kit and original tyre pressure gauge. A copy of Porsche Post from Summer 1979 is also included with chassis #181 featuring on the cover.This stunning and significant early 911 Turbo is now available as the owner is simply ready for something a little less on the ‘wild side’. A special opportunity to take ownership of this magnificent piece of Porsche history.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 901/930Year: 1976Chassis Number: 9307700181Registration Number: TSO 283RTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: GreenClick here for more details and images
Regarded as the ultimate Porsche Turbo; one of only 53 examples, UK-specification, just 25,000 miles and extremely original.First launched at the 1973 Paris Auto Show, with production commencing in 1975, the Porsche 911 (930) Turbo was a genuine Supercar which defined both the 1970s and 80s and was one of the fastest production cars available at that time. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS which was increased to 3.0-litres (eventually 3.3-litres) and, of course, turbocharged with technology gleaned from Porsche's 917/30 Can-Am programme. The brakes were also derived directly from the 917. The bodywork received special treatment resulting in one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear 'Tea-tray' spoiler.In 1989, before production was discontinued, Porsche marked the occasion by creating a very special, right-hand drive, limited-edition 930 LE - the ultimate Turbo, produced as the last hurrah to a turbo charged era. Starting out as a standard 3.3-litre model, the cars were then sent to the exclusive team at Zuffenhausen who built each example by hand.With just 53 of these cars produced, one for each UK dealership in 1989, a host of bespoke no-cost options were offered including colour-coded wheels, top-tinted windscreen, a choice of colours for interior and exterior, rear-quarter air intake ducts, electric sunroof, heated multi-adjust electric seats, electric sunroof, and gold ‘Turbo’ lettering stitched behind the seat. They also came fitted with leather throughout, extending over the seats, dash, centre console and door trims. Topped-off with a 3-spoke steering wheel with a special Porsche crest badge in gold, a feature which is echoed on top of the gear knob, plus a gold plaque with ''911 Turbo, 1975-1989 Limited Edition Model'’ engraving - as recognition of the LE's place in Porsche 911 history.Further features include electrically adjustable Sports seats with heating, electric tilt and slide sunroof, climate control, Becker Mexico radio/ CD, rear wiper, and a 180-mph speedometer (Z order number 02061).On the outside, the LE cars are visually very striking, with the poster pin-up wide bodywork and big rear wing. The side intake strakes and deep front spoiler (with additional oil cooler) follow the styling of the Low-build (Flachbau) SE model; similarly, the LE utilises the 330bhp 3.3-litre engine of the SE, hence a larger turbo charger, higher lift camshafts, higher boost pressure, larger intercooler, and quad exhaust system. Featuring the G50 5 speed manual gearbox with short shift, and option M220 limited slip diff.At the time of production, Porsche had no plans to turbocharge the incoming 964, so it was believed that the LE would indeed be the final forced induction model to leave the Stuttgart factory. The price was an eye-watering £84,500, a full 50% more than the average house price at the time!This original, right-hand drive UK-specification (C16) Porsche 911 (930) Turbo Limited-Edition (LE) was sold new on the 1st August 1989 by JCT600 (Rawdon) Ltd. Official Porsche Centre of Newcastle upon Tyne and was believed to have been ordered by the then Chairman of Newcastle United Football Club, Sir John Hall. He had a preference for purchasing cars with a black and white interior, hence this LE is finished in its special Linen and Black leather. This combination perfectly complements the Grand Prix White paintwork and matching Fuchs alloys.This superbly preserved car has covered just 24,996 miles (atoc) from new, supported by an original stamped-up service booklet (a mixture of Porsche Centres and marque specialists), up until 23,505 miles. Subsequently it was serviced by the highly respected Hairpin Company when our vendor purchased it from them in 2020. The car is thought to retain its original paint, to have never been restored and is wholly original – it certainly retains that Porsche smell and the overall condition is truly commensurate with the low mileage indicated.The factory option sticker under the bonnet remains in place and shows all the options codes you would expect for its model type, including (139) heated seats, (220) limited slip differential, (XA4) front spoiler, (XB7) rear air-ducts, (XE7) front oil cooler, (XH1) 3-spoke steering wheel, (XK5) leather gear lever, and (XN7) leather handbrake.The car is accompanied by its compete book pack, numerous receipts for maintenance over the years, tool roll, jack, and a UK V5C. This rare Turbo LE was the culmination of the 930 Turbo's 14 years of production, and as a result, is probably the best-developed iteration of this model, making it highly collectable today. This is one of the best Turbo LEs we’ve had the pleasure of offering, and we urge you to come and see the car in the metal.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 930 TURBO LEYear: 1989Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ93ZKS000750Registration Number: G656 RTYTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 67K01008 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 24000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Linen / Black leatherClick here for more details and images
Owned from new for almost 30 years by Roger Daltrey of The Who; in great condition and ready to be enjoyed.One of the 20th Century’s truly great automobiles, the Volkswagen Beetle spawned a host of derivatives, the longest enduring being the Cabriolet. A single prototype was built pre-war, but it was not until 1949 that production commenced, the bulk of which was entrusted to Karmann of Osnabruck whose four-seater Cabriolet appeared soon after the two-seater Hebmuller-built version. Only Karmann’s would stand the test of time, outliving the saloon and remaining ever fashionable, an instantly recognisable motoring icon to this day and one ever popular with showbusiness celebrities.Mechanical changes to the Cabriolet kept pace with those of the saloon until the latter’s production began to wind down in the early 1970s. Thus, the Cabriolet gained the Super Beetle’s MacPherson strut front suspension, trailing-arm rear suspension and more-bulbous bonnet for 1971. 1973 brought with it a curved windscreen (and shortened bonnet), recessed dashboard and altered rear wings with enlarged light clusters. Topping the range was the 1303 LS with a 49bhp 1.6-litre twinport air-cooled flat-four engine. In this specification the Cabriolet continued to be built until January 1980, two years after German production of the saloon had ended.The car presented here is 1977 Volkswagen Beetle 1303 LS Cabriolet formerly owned from new for almost 30 years - from 1977 until 2005 - by Roger Daltrey CBE, founder and lead singer of The Who, legendary rock band of the 1960s. The car is accompanied by a signed letter from Daltrey confirming that he owned the car for that period. Also in the history file is a Volkswagen Museum Certificate which confirms the specification above, a build date of 27th January 1977 and that the car was UK-delivered. It also confirms the original colour scheme of Viper Green Metallic paintwork with a Pale Sand hood.The car has benefited from diligent ownership since 2005, being regularly serviced and maintained. In 2014 the Karmann bodywork receiving a full bare metal respray in the original factory colour of Viper Green, whilst there are still in situ Cibie Oscar driving lamps fitted during Daltrey’s ownership. The previous owner also had the seating and door cards fully re-trimmed in beige leather, with perforated centre panels.During the penultimate service while in Daltrey’s care the original service book was misplaced, and so the servicing history for this period is substantiated solely by his signed letter. Accompanying the car is an original book pouch, containing a period owner’s manual, the authenticity certificate from Stiftung AutoMuseum Volkswagen, some old MOT certificates and previous V5 documents. A 2005 newspaper article from when Daltrey sold the car is also included, along with his signed letter to the buyer at the time.Our vendor is a big fan of The Who, enthusiastically buying the car in 2019, and has since kept up its conscientious custodianship. He has lavished over £10,000 on this very deserving car, primarily to get it back to its original specification, saying “the car is now as near to as it was when it left the factory as I can get it; it's in great nick, not Concours but very good.”A really fun car in very good condition, with Rock Royalty provenance, at an attractive guide.SpecificationMake: VWModel: BEETLE 1303 LS CABRIOLETYear: 1977Chassis Number: 1572067740Registration Number: TNM 325RTransmission: Manual Engine Number: AS468349 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 80000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BeigeClick here for more details and images
UK-supplied as one of just 67 right-hand drive cars, coming from 19-year ownership, and just 18,000km with a recent service.Designing a successor to the delicious Lamborghini Miura was something of a challenge for Marcello Gandini, however, with the arrival of the Countach in 1971, he demonstrated to the world that his ability to create automotive drama was alive and well. In fact, the word Countach is Piedmontese slang for something that visually shocks and has no direct translation but 'wow' is probably the most polite. The first Countach appeared at the Geneva Show in 1971. Big, bright and brash like the rest of the 70s, the Countach was to remain in production, through various iterations for 16 years. With hindsight, it's clear that the car's flying wedge design, with a sloping snout that appeared to descend directly from the windscreen, and innovative scissor doors, became a template for every supercar that followed.The original, beautifully clean profile was gradually bedecked with wings and things as fashions changed over the years, and frequent small mechanical changes were often the result of customer input in their capacity as unwitting development engineers. However, by the time Lamborghini was 25 years old and the Countach Anniversary was introduced in 1988, the majority of these teething troubles were in the past. The Anniversary was effectively a new Countach, mechanically very similar to the 5000QV but sporting much-changed styling courtesy of Horatio Pagani. The rear air boxes were restyled and enlarged, while the vents behind them were changed so that they ran front-to-back instead of side-to-side. In addition, a new air dam and side skirting, both with air intakes, were fitted, and the taillights restyled to be narrower, with body-coloured panels replacing the upper and lower parts of the previous larger lights.These styling changes were striking on the 17-year-old design and had the added benefit of improving the engine's cooling, a problem with which the powerful Countach had always struggled. The Countach also featured 345/35R15 tyres, the widest available on a production car at the time. The factory only anticipated a limited demand but the sheer talent of this mature development meant that it actually became the most prolific Countach ever with 658 being built of which only 67 were finished in right-hand drive.This example is one of those 67 right-hand drive cars and was supplied by Portman Lamborghini of Marylebone, London and first registered on the 31st of July 1989. Finished in Rosso Savaglia with Crema hide, the car’s service and maintenance record is impeccable, as evidenced in the service book and reams of receipts. When our vendor purchased this car on the 13th September 2002, he became only its third owner, remarkably low ownership for a thirty-three year old supercar but we do find that Countach owners tend to keep their cars longer than their contemporaries from other manufacturers and in fact this was our Vendor's second Countach, having covered over 50,000 miles in its predecessor. The Alpine cassette-radio is in full working order linked to its electric aerial and the car benefits from a factory fitted sports exhaust, more powerful air-conditioning and a newly designed steering wheel.As with all Lamborghinis of this era, the odometer reading is in kilometres and shows 17,592 km or just 10,931 miles at the time of cataloguing. Our vendor is moving abroad and trimming his important collection of supercars and presents the car to auction in a simply stunning condition. The detailed history file includes recent maintenance, servicing and clutch works for a total of £25,000. We welcome any inspection of this very special motor car.SpecificationMake: LAMBORGHINIModel: COUNTACHYear: 1989Chassis Number: ZA9C005A0KLA12717 Registration Number: G546 SGTTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 12717 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 17592 KMMake: RHDInterior Colour: Crema LeatherClick here for more details and images
Realm Engineering chassis and body, freshly built, IVA tested and with less than 50 miles on the clock.Faced with a glut of incomplete and unused D-Type bodies, chassis’ and parts following their withdrawal from racing at the end of the 1956 season, Jaguar made the decision to convert these left-over vehicles to road-going specification, for wealthy enthusiasts and drivers, most notably in the United States of America. Largely unchanged from the competition-spec vehicles (by modern standards, anyhow) this new vehicle - dubbed the XKSS - was fitted with a more conventional body, passenger door, wrap-around windscreen, side screens and quarter-bumpers, and not much else. Rarely did competition vehicles make it to production in such an untamed manner, but that was all part of the appeal for XKSS buyers. Sadly, following a devastating fire at Jaguar’s Browns Lane factory that destroyed all but sixteen XKSS models which had already been built, production was ended. As a result, the remaining survivors of the original 16 vehicles command an understandable premium when they come up for sale, putting them out of reach for all but the wealthiest of owners.Thankfully, there are numerous companies and talented individuals producing near-identical replicas and recreations, with one such company being Realm Engineering, who supplied the chassis and GRP kit body that made up this fantastic recreation we have here. Notably, Realm are well-known in their field for C and D-Type replicas, as well as producing the only AC Cobra replica which has Carroll Shelby’s personal seal of approval, so you can be certain that they are at the top of their game. Constructed to an incredibly high standard by the current owner over the last two years, this ‘XKSS’ utilises running gear from an XJ6, with the 4.2-litre inline-six engine and 5-speed gearbox providing drive, whilst the build also features a narrowed Jaguar independent IRS rear axle. Upgrades include triple Weber carburettors, big valve head and an unleaded fuel conversion.Sat on the correct replica 16” Dunlop racing wheels and fitted with a mohair folding hood, this 'XKSS recreation' looks every inch the thoroughbred British sports car, providing its owners with a near-identical driving experience without the eye-watering price tag attached to a real Jaguar XKSS. Alongside the roof, the car is also complete with its side screens, hood cover, boot rack and wet weather gear, should you be caught in a typically British shower.Following completion of the build, this example was correctly IVA tested and approved, registered on the V5 as a ‘Heritage XKSS’ and given an age-related registration from the donor vehicle’s year. Now, correctly registered MKU 170W can be removed and a private non age defining or personal plate can be fitted. Having driven only to and from the test station and the paint shop to get its coat of freshly-applied Old English White, this 2022-registered 'XKSS recreation' is ready for the next owner to enjoy to its fullest.Supplied with the V5C showing first registered on 1st May 2022 with no former keepers, a photographic record of the build with around 300 images, folder full of invoices and documentation of the build process, IVA certification and with no requirement for an MOT for the next three years, this really is an unrepeatable opportunity to obtain an as-new XKSS recreation that is ready to drive.SpecificationMake: REALM HERITAGE XKSSModel: XKSS RECREATIONYear: 2022Chassis Number: REALMSSS167680080Registration Number: MKU 170WTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 102736 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 15 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Old Jaguar RedClick here for more details and images
#68/100, this meticulously restored example is surely the finest JPS to come to market in recent years.Technically called the World Championship Commemorative Model, but more colloquially known as the John Player Special, this was the first and arguably the most memorable limited edition Esprit from Lotus. Dubbed the JPS due to its distinctive black and gold livery, inspired by the ground effect, JPS-sponsored, championship-winning Lotus 79 cars of the period, as raced by Mario Andretti and Ronnie Petersen. Originally planned to build 200 examples, it was believed that just 185 were produced, 100 for the UK, 55 for the United States and 30 for Europe. The eye-catching specification included gold-coloured side-stripes complete with World Champion lettering, gold-coloured front and rear windscreen surrounds and alloy wheels, gold-effect corduroy seat inserts and a three-spoke leather rimmed steering wheel instead of the normal plastic offering. The 'Juke Box' installed was a Hitachi Digi-One radio-cassette. The 1973cc, 16-valve DOHC engine delivered a feisty 160bhp which was sufficient to sprint the 1,980lb glass fibre-bodied, two-seater to 60mph in 6.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 124 mph. The short production run lasted from December 1978 to July 1979.This immaculate example is Number 68, however, as we understand and know Lotus from that period, it is unknown what number it was in the production line. Our vendor confessed to getting somewhat carried away with the restoration, and as part of the process, #68 had a full body-off, glass-out restoration, including a respray and new stickers to ensure no stone was unturned and the car would be as good as new, if not better, which we feel he’s achieved by some distance. A number of top specialists have been involved in the car's transformation and the results are very impressive with a fabulous level of finish yet maintaining the character of the car, which is no easy feat!The restoration catalogue is fantastic, featuring new aluminium fuel tanks, brake line hoses, new aluminium radiator, new coolant hoses, Wilwood front callipers and disks (originals to go with the car) and new suspension and bushes all round. The engine was overhauled including new liners, crank reground and new pistons circa 2000 miles ago and a stainless-steel exhaust system including 4 into 1 manifold fitted to help it sing. The list goes on, making for pleasant reading and an even more pleasant driving experience.The history file is nicely detailed and contains dozens of old invoices and MOTs. Superbly presented and indicating only 72,746 miles, this is an exceptionally high-quality example that would cost a small fortune to replicate. With the combination of comfortable mileage and the quality of restoration, this very special Lotus would sit equally as perfectly in the hands of a collector as it would in the hands of an enthusiast wanting to get out and drive it.With Lotus cars of the future destined to have electric hearts, there cannot be a better time to pick up the old-school and experience the cars that made the David and Goliath brand from Norwich withstand the test of time with such flying colours.SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ESPRIT S2 JPSYear: 1979Chassis Number: 79020661GRegistration Number: TOI 9585Transmission: ManualEngine Number: CC907790216073 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 72746 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black and CreamClick here for more details and images
A rare homage to a rare car. A superb re-creation of the 1968 911R, probably the genesis of all the lightweight 911s that followed.This lovely 911 did indeed start out as a 1975 2.7-litre 911S but was a rare, UK-supplied, right-hand drive car finished in Porsche Light Yellow. Its owner in 2013 had always been interested in recreating one of the very rare lightweight 911Rs that were the stuff of legend, and chose this H-Series Carrera as the perfect base for his re-creation. Some six years before the arrival of, undoubtedly the best known sporting 911 ever, the '73 2.7RS, Porsche’s engineers took four standard 911S models off the production line with the intention of creating an ultra-light 911 to be known as the R (Racing). Weight reduction was the focus and the front cover, wings, doors and bumpers were made of glass-fibre-reinforced polymer, manufactured by the Stuttgart company Karl Baur. The weight reduction affected almost every part of the car. The 911R's windscreen was made of 4mm thin glass, the other glass was replaced with 2mm thick Plexiglas and what was not absolutely necessary has been left out. Purism in its purest form. In the slimmed-down cabin, two of the five instruments were removed as was the winding mechanism for the side windows and simple leather straps replaced the door pulls. Compared to a standard 1967 911 S - which at 1030kg was hardly a heavyweight - the weight reduction was 230 kg in total. Owners of modern GT2 and GT3 911s will recognise these weight saving techniques but this was 1967! After the four original prototypes, a further 20 production 911Rs were built and when one of these original cars comes to market, the numbers are usually North of £400,000.The transformation of this 911S into a 911R homage began in 2013 and was totally painstaking involving huge amounts of detail. Within the history file there is full photographic evidence of the build which started with all rust being eradicated, new sills, diaphragms, B-posts and kidney bowls. The later-type front slam panel was removed in favour of the Porsche early long-bonnet panel together with inner wing extensions. At the same time, the sunroof was removed to aid strength and the whole shell re-painted in Ivory White with a full livery emulating that of the 1969 Tour De France winner, Guy Larrousse . The engine cover was custom-built in GRP along with a three-piece rear bumper and valance and a one-piece front bumper. 911R-spec front wings in GRP were fitted along with steel bowls. High-impact polycarbonate windows were installed except the screen with sliders and vents as per R-spec. A pair of period-correct Recaros were installed trimmed in Alcantara and leather along with a matching dash top. A full roll-cage was fitted and TRS rebranded harnesses to complete the safety aspect.The engine was rebuilt at the same time and the original block (6350106) bored from 2.7 to 2.8-litres and fitted with new pistons by its skilled mechanical owner. Within the car's history file are full details of the engine build and the rest of the work carried out but the list is far too long to include here, however, in September 2021 the car was rolling-road tested and displayed a maximum output of 233bhp, nearly 60 more than the standard car, which seems impressive.Within the history file there are literally thousands of pounds worth of receipts showing the detailed attention lavished on this special Porsche and the file also contains a magazine feature on the car by Classic Porsche in January 2015, an MSA Competition Log Book to cover Hill climbs and Sprints, dated January 2015 and some associated communication with Motor Sports UK, previously Motor Sports Association.

A very early road-going competition car, with extensive spares package. This venerable road/race S2 vacated the Cheshunt factory in March 1962 and was delivered to its first owner, a Mr A G Shepherd of Ilford, Essex four months later. Our vendor informs us that ‘559 UYM’ has contested and been very competitive in the HSCC’s popular Historic Roadsports series for no less than 15 years, and for the first three seasons of his tenure (2017-2019), it competed without fault during numerous visits to a variety of circuits including Silverstone, Croft, Snetterton, Oulton Park, Anglesey and Spa. Following that spell of hard graft it was treated to an engine and gearbox refresh in preparation for the 2020 season. However, that year of competition was of course lost to COVID 19 and, though the little Lotus has not ventured onto road or track since, it remains ‘good to go’.It is powered by a pre-crossflow Ford engine coupled to a five-speed manual gearbox. The alloy-panelled bodywork is complemented by green fibreglass rear wings and a yellow nosecone, while the car comes with the choice of alloy and fibreglass front wings. The functional driver’s office is trimmed in red and features a fibreglass bucket seat, Momo steering wheel and a pair of Aeroscreens. The Minilite-style alloy wheels are shod with Toyo Proxes tyres, and among the host of additional equipment accompanying the Lotus are: another set of tyres, windscreen, wipers, a full complement of weather gear, long range fuel tank and car cover. The on board safety equipment includes a substantial roll-over bar, Willans harness and plumbed-in fire system. The car will have its windscreen and full front wings back on giving it more of a road car look whilst it's racing pedigree is undoubted. It will also receive a full refresh service, mechanical oils etc ensuring it is fully Day 1 track/road ready.Familiar to the Historic Lotus Register, ‘559 UYM’ is being offered complete with a Lotus Vehicle Provenance Certificate and extensive history.Available by separate negotiation, the vendor also has a purpose-built Ifor Williams enclosed trailer for the Lotus Seven.The trailer has a galvanised chassis with polished aluminium body, and includes internal winch and tyre rack. This is not included in the sale of the Lotus, but can be discussed after the sale if desired.
