1971 Ford Escort Twin-Cam
Registration: AKE 150J Chassis Number: CK49K078568 Engine Number: EG 11158 Year of Manufacture: 1971 No Reserve
From the start of the Escort range Ford had intended to produce sporting versions of its new model; the first of this special breed of Escort was the Lotus engined Twin-Cam. The Twin-Cam used the same 1558cc engine as the Lotus Cortina. The Escort Twin-Cam was conceived and developed by Ford’s Boreham based competitions department during 1967 and unleashed on an unsuspecting public during January 1968; going on to achieve many international race and rally victories during its short production life. Ford entered their first event with the Escort, taking part in the new formula of motorsport, Rallycross and also entering at an event at Croft (still used today), the Escort Twin-Cam won 4 races out right. The Ford works team was practically unbeatable in the late 1960’s and 1970’s with, arguably, the Escort’s greatest victory in the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally. In total, just 883 Escort Twin-Cams were built before production ended to make way for the RS1600.
in New Zealand. It was imported into the UK in 2002 and has remained in private collections since. Supplied with an excellent history file detailing expenditure over the years, the engine was fully rebuilt to race standards in 2011 with Gilmore drive, Edgel works head, lightened and balanced crankshaft and twin 45 Weber carburettors. When starting the engine it is immediately clear that this Escort means business, firing up with a reassuring but menacing bark.
This original road-specification Escort Twin-Cam is a 1971 example finished in copper red with black interior. Built on the CKD Australian assembly line, it was sold to Auckland, New Zealand in March 1973. The New Zealand registration document shows changes of keepers and even a mileage log between ‘73 and the early 1990s. The car was at one time owned and raced by Richard McCathy

The interior is finished to standard specification with auto sport master seats in very good condition. The bodywork is presented in good order but requires a paint touch up on the nearside rear wheel arch due to a chip. However, this car has clearly been loved over the years, as demonstrated by a number of email exchanges between former owners. Buyers are encouraged to contact the office for a full analysis of the vehicle. This lovely example of a fast-appreciating model is guided without reserve and presented in this rare colour combination, you will certainly stand out from the crowd of Ermine White TwinCam owners. It is supplied with a current MoT certificate, UK registration papers, Twin-Cam owner’s handbook and some bills and receipts in the history file.

1968 MGC Roadster
The MGC was a 2912cc, straight-6 version of the MGB sold from 1967 and produced through to August 1969. In the twin SU carburettor form used in the MGC, the engine produced 145bhp at 5250rpm.
It is built and prepared to fast-road engine specification, though does still retain the original 2992cc 6 cylinder engine type as you’d expect. This is mated to the standard manual overdrive 4-speed gearbox but, with stainless steel manifolds and a straight-through exhaust, the sound and performance of the car feels somewhat enhanced no doubt the by-product of a quality restoration.
The body shell needed considerable revision from its predecessor around the engine bay and to the floor pan, but externally the only differences were a distinctive bonnet bulge to accommodate the relocated radiator and a teardrop for carburettor clearance. It had different brakes from the MGB, 15 inch wheels, a lower geared rack and pinion and special torsion bar suspension with telescopic dampers. Like the MGB, it was available as a Coupé and Roadster. An overdrive gearbox or threespeed automatic gearbox were available as options. The car was capable of 120 mph and a 0-60 mph time of 10.0 seconds.

1975 BMW R90 S
The legendary BMW R90S is a 900cc sport motorcycle produced by BMW from 1973 to 1976. BMW commissioned designer Hans Muth to oversee the R90S, which became the flagship of the boxer engine range. Sporting distinctive two-tone paintwork, a bikini fairing and a new tail, the R90S was intended to shrug off the enduring image of BMW bikes as staid and utilitarian. The 67 bhp (50 kW) R90S had a top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h), it ran the quarter mile in around 13.5 seconds and it accelerated from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 4.8 seconds. Maximum torque was delivered at 5,500 rpm. This delightful 1975 BMW R90S is presented in beautiful condition having benefited from a total restoration in 2014.

Interestingly enough this bike was originally supplied new in 1975 to the current vendor’s brother. During the total restoration the cylinder head was removed and all valves replaced. Wheels, suspension and steering bearings were also replaced. All new tyres and suspension were fitted along with a new stainless exhaust. New carburettors were also fitted and wheels rebuilt with new forks. Viewing of this classic motorbike is highly recommended.

The 993 was the last Porsche 911 range to feature air cooled flat six engines and they’re viewed by many aficionados as the finest 911s ever produced. Central to this view is the multi-link suspension which replaced the traditional semi trailing arms of previous iterations - the source of the 911s reputation for boisterous handling. The transmissions were improved in both the manual (now six speed - a first for Porsche) and the Tiptronic gearbox which became more sophisticated, recognising gradients and descents and so improving the driving experience. Mechanically, the brakes and exhaust systems were all improved. The bodywork was revised to give a more rounded style, with a genesis that is apparent in today’s 911s. Engine development included Porsche’s VarioRam induction system that improved the torque characteristics of the engine, which greatly improved the overall performance. It was a standard feature from 1996 onwards.

The mileage has just crept over the 100,000 miles mark and this is fully documented by 14 service stamps in the service booklet that warrant the mileage. The car has just been serviced by well respected Porsche specialists, RS 911, in Wales and is supplied with a full condition report from them and almost 1 year’s MoT. Being a desirable manual example, we feel this car represents a superb everyday driving proposition for a most reasonable outlay. The 993 model continues to represent classic 911 styling with a refined mechanical edge, allowing these cars to increase in both popularity and desirability.
Finished in Arena Red Metallic with contrasting black leather interior, this particular 993 Carrera 4 was first delivered to the UK on the 1st of February 1997.

1968 Ford Escort MK 1 Works Rally Recreation
The Ford Escort Mark I was introduced in 1967 and was a commercial success in many parts of Western Europe. However, in the UK it was the best selling car during the 1960s. In June 1974, less than six years after the car’s UK introduction, Ford announced the completion of the two millionth Ford Escort, a milestone unmatched by any Ford model outside the USA. The Escort used a brand new unitary construction bodyshell and came with a choice of 1098cc or 1298cc four cylinder, overhead valve engines. This 1968 Escort Works Rally Replica was built between 2006 and 2008 by renowned marque experts, Retrosport, for one of its owners. A solid donor shell was sourced and fully stripped for the build. New steel front wings and steel arches were fitted and the entire shell fully seam welded, gusseted and strengthened to Group 4 specification with works type jacking points. A Smith and Deakin fibre glass bonnet and boot were custom fitted along with a 6-point roll cage with door bars. The completed body was then painted in Ford Diamond White, photos of which are included in the history file. The running gear was completely replaced with an Atlas axle, and many RS components such as hubs, vented discs and adjustable Bilstein struts. The engine is a lightened and balanced 2.0 litre Pinto on twin delortoes

Additional features include an alloy sump, twin throttle cables, electronic ignition with electronic coil and Magnecor plug leads, Spenco silicone hoses, 12 gallon aluminum fuel tank, works replica dashboard/centre console and a 5-speed Type-9 2.8i Capri close ratio gearbox. The car was stored after completion, having covered only 500 road miles. In 2011, it was recommissioned and supplied with a current MOT, tax and R.A.C.M.S.A motorsport logbook. The history file details the rebuild with a complete file by Retrosport, specifying every ordered component. The documentation confirms that this Escort has been built using new or refurbished parts to the highest possible standard with no expense spared. In 2012, the car was sold to a well-known Bristol-based racing driver, in whose ownership the car has since remained. ‘SLD 245F’ has been taxed and MOT’d up until May 2013 since when it has had the benefit of a SORN. The car remains in good running order throughout. It is currently set up for tarmac rally competition and would make an ideal entry into historic motorsport.

The Ferrari 456 and 456 M are front-engined Grand Tourers produced from 1992 until 2003. It was an overdue replacement for the defunct front-engined 412 as the company’s premium 4-seat V12 car and was warmly received by the motoring community. The updated 456M was replaced in 2004 by the 612 Scaglietti, making it the last Ferrari model to use pop-up headlamps. The ‘Modificata’ 456 M appeared in 1998, starting with chassis number 109589. Many changes were made to improve aerodynamics and cooling, and the interior, still featuring Connolly leather, was freshened up with new seats and other detailing. The 456 has a smaller grille with fog lights outside the grille. The 456 also had hood-mounted air scoops which were removed on the 456 M. The undercarriage spoiler on the 456 M is fixed where the older 456 had a motorized spoiler that began its deployment above 65 mph. Power was up slightly on the Modificata now using Bosch Motronic M5.2 engine management at 442bhp; the V12 firing pattern was changed for smoother running and the torque remained the same for later versions of the 456 GT.

Why didn’t Jaguar do it themselves? Everyone wondered. A more practical, proper four-seater shooting-brake version of the XJS seemed an obvious development. But it was left to Lynx, the UK-based engineering and design company, to create the Lynx Eventer - an estate car version of the XJS. Each car was built strictly to order on a custom-made jig (taking 14 weeks from order to delivery). The result was a hand-built estate which addressed not only the XJS’ inadequate rear seating but also the Coupé’s poor rear visibility. The XJS Coupé’s buttresses were replaced by an extended roof with rear and side windows, offering a vast expanse of glass. Furthermore, a generous rear hatch offered a stylish and practical alternative to both the severely limited standard XJS and the featureless volume-production estates on the market. What was amazing at the time was how competent the Eventer was to drive. The rearward shift in weight distribution required stiffer rear suspension but the XJS accepted this modification gracefully. The Eventer actually weighed less than the standard XJS - so acceleration was sharper. Here was a small, home-grown engineering company with the vision and the skills to create a car that drove like the product of a multi-million

The Mark 1 Ford Escort was introduced at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1968 and soon became a commercial success as an everyday car followed by development into a succesful competition car. The Ford works team was practically unbeatable in the late 1960s / early 1970s, and arguably the Escort’s greatest victory was in the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally being driven by Finnish legend Hannu Mikkola. This gave rise to the famous Escort Mexico (with the 1.6 L “Kent”-engine) special edition road versions in honour of the rally car. In addition to the Mexico, the RS1600 was developed using an engine that was essentially a detuned Formula 3 unit designated BDA, (Belt Drive A Series). Both the Mexico and RS1600 were built at the now famous Ford Advanced Vehicle Operations (AVO) facility located at the Aveley Plant in South Essex. As well as higher performance engines and sports suspension, these models featured strengthened bodyshells, making them ideal for rallying.

Previously, the Sierra Cosworth had maintained a competitive presence in world rallying, but a new genre of rally cars was emerging. The brief now called for a smaller, lighter car to challenge the rapidly emerging cars from Japan. On its WRC debut 1993 Monte Carlo Rally, the RS Escorts of Miki Biasion and François Delecour led until the final stages. It was a success, and provided Ford with ten WRC victories from 1993 - 97 for Miki Biasion, François Delecour, Franco Cunico, Tommi Mäkinen and Carlos Sainz. Offered here is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a genuine icon of the 90’s, with period rally history. Built on a genuine Ford Cosworth Motorsport shell it is understood this RHD example was assembled in 1994. Upon completion, the car was registered F59 ONP and rallied by John Lay with co-driver Shaune Clorley in the 1995 Kerridge National Rally. In the 1996 Season the car was entered in to the Rally of Wales with co-driver Tim Hobbs and later that season in to the legendary Network-Q RAC Rally. The car was then used in the 1997

What we do know is that the car was later registered XIL 5451 in 2003 and sold to a Mr H Peat in 2004. We understand that Mr Peat refreshed the car by finishing it in Martini Livery and rallied it in a number of UK Rallies. Little is known what became of the car until purchased by our vendor in 2010. By this stage the car had been subject to a second refresh and finished in the livery it wears today. Our vendor had every intention to rally the car, however due to work commitments the car was never fully put to the test, has been used only on occasion and never in true anger on stages. Offered for sale once again the car will need some recomissioning to be eligible for rallying once again namely new in-date seats, Harnesses and fuel cell. At time of writing this description the car is due to be taken to Turbo Systems for a thorough service. An icon of the era with period rally history... what more could you want!

1991 Porsche 911 964 Turbo 3.3
The Porsche 964 is the company’s internal name for the Porsche 911 manufactured and sold between 1989 and 1994. Designed by Benjamin Dimson in 1986, it featured significant styling revisions over previous 911 models; most prominently, the more integrated bumpers. It was the first generation 911 to be offered with Porsche’s optional Tiptronic automatic transmission and all wheel drive as options. Porsche chose to re-use the 3.3 litre engine from the 930 with several minor revisions that made the engine smoother, less prone to turbo lag and more powerful with a total output of 320bhp at 5750rpm. This stunning 3.3 Litre 964 Turbo is an original ‘C16’ UK specification right-hand drive example that was sold new in April 1991 by Parkwood Porsche, at a cost of over £75,000. Finished in its original colour of Polar Silver with Can Can Red leather interior, the car has been maintained meticulously since new. A certificate of authenticity and original under-bonnet sticker confirm the factory options of limited slip differential, sports seats with electric height adjustment, air conditioning, on-board computer, factory immobiliser and sun roof. The history file on this particular 964 Turbo is one of the best we have seen. Bills and receipts totalling over £30,000 can be found in the folder, along with a fully stamped service booklet, original wallet, all previous V5 documents, MoT certificates, tax discs

and a full condition report from 2005 by highly respected Porsche specialist Peter Morgan Consulting Ltd. The two service booklets are replacement items but must have replaced the original in its first year on the road, as there are stamps dating back to July 1991 with an odometer reading of just 2,000 miles. A further 25 stamps warrant the total mileage of 82,000 with all work carried out by main dealers Parkwood Porsche, Lancaster Porsche, HR Owen, Porsche Centre Colchester and respected specialist GT One Ltd. The file is a joy to behold and will give any potential purchaser significant confidence that the car has been maintained to the highest standards. The last service was carried out less than 100 miles ago by Porsche specialist Tom Ferguson. Externally, the car presents very well indeed with good shut lines and straight panels. The inner front wings show factory original paint and there is no evidence of rust underneath the spare wheel. The interior is in lovely original condition throughout and even the seat bolsters are in very good order. The leather does appear to have been treated at some time in its life and the original Becker radio is still present. Overall, this 964 Turbo is an original and highly collectable example that is ready to use and enjoy. Buyers should be aware that the number plate shown is not included in the sale.

Silverstone Auctions are delighted to offer this rare 1965 Triumph ‘Thruxton’ Bonneville. Number 9 of only 52 assembled, this is your chance to acquire the most exclusive of all Triumph Bonnevilles. The name THRUXTON relates to the 500 mile endurance race for production motorcycles held annually at the Hampshire circuit. Such was the importance of this race the top riders of the day all participated. Winners and podium finishers included Phil Read, Percy Tait, Bob McIntyre, Derek Minter, Tony Godfrey, Dave Degens, Rex Butcher and John Hartle to name just a few. Prior to 1965 it was left to dealers and privateers to demonstrate the abilities of the Triumph, which included a win by Mike Hailwood in the 1959 race. To capitalise on these results, and with the arrival of Doug Hele from Norton, it was decided in 1964 to produce a Works variant to be called the “THRUXTON”. The Experimental Department of Triumph under Doug Hele were given the task of building the bike. A minimum of 50 would be required to meet the ACU homologation rules for Production Motorcycle Racing. Modifications included; a tuned exhaust system with stepped headers, balance pipe and special long silencers that in effect acted like a megaphone. Performance Camshafts, pistons and a special engine lubrication system were able to cope with the rigours of endurance racing. Brakes, chassis and

suspension were also upgraded. Weight loss included the historically large, impressive Triumph fuel tank badge being reduced to just a transfer, the tank kneepads made ultra slim to not only save weight but allow the rider to tuck those knees in for better aerodynamics. Only 8 bikes were manufactured during 1964 as prototypes and the Thruxton was officially launched with the small number of only 52 made in 1965. On CWV 988C’s first outing at the Thruxton 500 race, now held at Castle Combe, it achieved a notable 1st Place in the hands of Barry Lawton and Dave Degens. The following year heralded another victory, now at Brands Hatch ridden by Dave Degens and Rex Butcher. Further outstanding victories were achieved in the Isle of Man Production TT with John Hartle and Malcolm Uphill in the 1967 and 1969 events respectively. One notable headline of the day read; “Rod Gould was timed at the Highlander at 140mph - A speed only bettered by Agostini’s MV”. ‘CWC 988C’ was number 9 of 52 made and supplied to the Swindon Motor Company. The bike was first registered to Martyn Ockwell on the 12/07/1965. It is an unmolested example in excellent condition which has been with the current owner for the past 19 years and comes with a 12 month MOT. This is a very rare and special motorcycle that would grace any collection.

1976 Triumph TR7/8 Works Replica
Launched in 1975, the TR7 marked a radical departure for Triumph - with shockingly new styling by Harris Mann, its wedge-shaped body and sawn off rump divided opinion like no Triumph before or since. From 1976 to 1980 British Leyland ran a Works team of TR7s in International rallying. These cars were initially built with the 16-valve Dolomite Sprint engine but were then later switched to the Rover V8 engine shortly before the introduction of the new TR8 model. The Triumph TR7 V8 was successful in rallying, mainly on tarmac events. The TR7 V8 was most successful in the hands of the late Tony Pond, the exploits of the charismatic Tony driving a “Works” entered Triumph TR7 fired the patriotic imagination of the public, winning in Ypres and on the Manx at a time when Triumphs’ competition heritage needed reviving. Built November 1976 as a standard TR7 Coupé and purchased by our vendor 2005, this car was transformed into a detailed replica of the works ‘TR8’s of the late 70s with a view to rallying the car to its full potential. However, this was never realised due to other commitments.

The Porsche 930 Turbo was a genuine ‘Supercar’ that defined the seventies and eighties. It was one of the fastest production cars available at the time. It was first seen at the 1973 Paris Auto Show and full production commenced two years later. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS which was increased to 3.0Litres and, of course, turbocharged with technology gained from Porsche’s 917/30 Can-Am program. The bodywork received special treatment to produce one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear whale-tail. The brakes came directly from the Porsche 917 race car. The final evolution of the 930 Turbo saw the engine capacity increased to 3299cc, with improved upgrades on the intercooler and fitting of the G50 transmission. By 1989, the final year of production, the power had risen to 330bhp. “911 NWL”, a matching numbers example, left the factory in May 1987 as a left hand drive 3.2 Carrera Cabriolet and was registered in the UK 16/8/1988, since then it has been professionally converted to right hand drive. The vendor informs us that a Ruf 930 conversion was carried out on the car by Bob Watson Porsche and engine upgrade to 3.3 Turbo approximately 14 years ago for the previous owner, specification included a Sport Oil Cooler, Turbo Brake Upgrade And a Manual Boost

1946 V8-60 Midget Racing Car
In the 1930s and 1940s, America was gripped by a new kind of motorsport – midget racing. Modelled on the larger cars that raced at Indianapolis, midget racers competed across the country on tracks in football and baseball stadia, at county fairs, on purpose built quartermile ovals and even on rough tracks carved out of cornfields. In 1934, Fred Offenhauser created a powerful four-cylinder, 98-cubic-inch midget engine based on the famous Miller racing engine and “Offys” quickly became dominant in midget racing - though not all could afford them. In 1937, Ford launched a 136 cubic inch, 60 horsepower V8 engine intended as a more economical alternative to their larger flathead V8 engine. At last there was an alternative for ‘cash-strapped’ midget racers that could challenge the dominance of the ‘Offy’ and V8-60s remained successful in competition into the 1950s.
commissioned Duane Nelson, Denny Wagner and Pat Mandel to construct a finished midget racer. Constructed using only period correct parts, Rick Schell provided the V8-60 racing flathead, with an Edelbrock intake manifold and high compression cylinder heads breathing through dual Stromberg 81 carburettors. The restoration took place over two years and the car you see today is the result of their craftsmanship.
The first midget racers were constructed at home by enthusiastic young men, however, as the sport grew in popularity more professional constructors were called upon. One such constructor was Joe Silnes, a Norwegian born artisan who applied his craftsmanship to everything from midget racers to Indy cars. In 1990, a complete midget body and frame were discovered that had been built by Silnes around the time of the Second World War. A collector in Minnesota purchased them and
This wonderful car is finished to an incredible standard and must be seen to be appreciated. In 2009, the completed racer was sold to a prominent UK collector at the Hershey Auction for an impressive $41,800. The current owner discovered the car 3 years ago and it has taken pride of place in his garage since, being started up regularly and admired by all that have seen it.

Housing a 4.9 litre V12 engine pushing out 390BHP, the car was capable of a respectable 0-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds and top speed of 196mph. Produced between 1984 and 1991, some 7,177 Testarossas were produced in total - with the ‘twin mirror’ cars now being recognised as the most collectable examples. Delivered new in 1991 by Auto Becker GmbH & Co KG, Germany, to its first owner a Mr. Frank Laufenberg, this exceptional left-hand drive car was infact never even driven by Mr Laufenberg! However, he did have the foresight to order the exclusive Ferrari watch by Cartier, gold with steel, which comes in its original box and warranty card. The market value for these watches is more than 5,000 Euros and they are impossible to find. Accompanying the car, but not from new, is a 5-piece Ferrari luggage set in black leather that fits neatly into the trunk of the car - sourced this year at a cost of 10,000 Euros and never used. Presented in its original colours of Rosso Red and an unusual interior of Crema and red leather roll top and door cards, this car also comes with its full Ferrari tool kit and 2 car covers for interior and exterior storage.

All of this work is detailed in the invoices and has been recorded photographically. By this stage, we believe that the car had covered a mere 1,100 km, as confirmed by the Chief Service Engineer from Ferrari Lueg Sportivo, Mr. Gunnar Scholte. On the 6th October 2014, our vendor had this wonderful Testarossa sent to the Official Ferrari Dealer (Forza Rossa S.R.L) in Bucharest, Romania, where he resides, for a complete service and inspection and to obtain a Certificate of Authenticity from the Ferrari Classiche Department.

• Single ownership and 31 miles from new. The Lancia Delta was first seen at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1979. The Delta is best known for its domination of The World Rally Championship in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The first ‘Evoluzione’ cars were built at the end of 1991 and carried on through 1992. These ‘Evoluzione’ models were to be the final homologation cars built for the Lancia Rally Team which raced under the Martini Racing banner. In order to improve the handling, the Evoluzione had a wider track front and rear than earlier Deltas. So, in order to fit this track into the bodywork, the wide wheel arches were extended even further and in the process also became more rounded. The new Integrale retained the four wheel drive layout. It had an epicyclic center diff with torque splitter, plus a Ferguson viscous coupling and Torsen rear differential. The engine, although technically the same as the earlier 16V cars, was remapped to give 210bhp at 5750rpm in order to compensate for the slight increase in weight and increased frontal area. These improvements were aimed at improving the handling

As the frame for the glass is made from carbon fibre, the Super America can reach very high speeds with the top in the up or reclined position.
Unveiled at the LA and Detroit Auto Shows in 2003, the Superamerica is a targa version of the then current 575M. It was also the first Ferrari to feature a motorised and folding hard top. The name Superamerica extends back into the Ferrari’s history as a name that was given to most exclusive and powerful luxury models.
A total of 559 Superamericas were built; this number followed Enzo Ferrari’s philosophy that there should always be one fewer car available than the market demanded.
Derived from the 575M Maranello, the Superamerica big 12-cylinder engine was boosted to deliver 540 bhp through the six-speed electro-hydraulic F-1 transmission. Independent front and rear suspension with coil springs, telescopic shock absorbers with adaptive damping and anti-roll bars combined to keep the fastest convertible of the time on the road.
We are pleased to offer this rare Ferrari 575M Superamerica which was first sold in the Germany on 17.10.2005 to its only ever owner and subsequently, has covered only 1309 miles since then. It was fully serviced by Scuderia Berlin in 2011. Presented in the unusual and striking colour combination, Grigio Silverstone with a black leather interior, this example is offered in superb condition and the carbon framed folding hard top operates smoothly and without fault.

Back in 1986 Mike Broad, an ex-aircraft engineer, decided to produce his own ‘Cobra’ called the Magnum 427 SF. ‘A Race Car for the Road’ was his concept but what he created soon became a ‘Road Car for the Race Track’. The chassis was predominantly round tube space frame, the body single skin GPR reinforced with Kevlar and an aluminium panelled cockpit, engine bay and boot. Suspension was rose-jointed double wishbone and fully adjustable. Unlike many Cobra recreations, the Magnum was always a true driver’s car capturing the very essence of Carroll Shelby’s vision but with far superior handling. The result is a very rare lightweight Cobra with only approximately 70 cars ever produced and we are told one of as few as 20 in the UK. This particular Magnum 427 SF was registered new in 2001 on a 1965 C Suffix Registration Plate. It was a bespoke build to a very detailed customer specification. The engine is a 5.7 Chevy Small Block V8 with Edelbrock alloy performance cylinder heads, Edelbrock manifold, Holley carburettor and Mallory electronic ignition. This is coupled to a Muncie 4-speed manual gearbox with Hurst quick shifter. The rose-jointed suspension is fitted with Willwood 4-pot lightweight front brakes. The aluminium panelled cockpit, carbon fibre stone guards, competition bucket seats, fire extinguisher and Schroth harnesses reflect its racing pedigree even though this

It is finished in Pearl Metallic Blue with Wimbledon White Le Mans stripes, polished stainless steel side exhausts, mesh headlamp guards and American racing magnesium wheels shod with BF Goodrich Comp T/A tyres. Although having only been subjected to fewer than 9,000miles, this Magnum has recently undergone a re-commissioning/restoration programme by Mirage Engineering, restorers of championship winning Historic Formula 1 Racing Cars. This process included a full respray and engine and suspension set-up including the replacement of many parts. It has been corner-weighted and prepared for fast-road use. This Cobra recreation weighs just 966Kgs with a 50/50 weight balance making it one of the lightest ever produced meaning it’s exceptionally fast and incredibly nimble. Magnums are extremely rare and very collectable, only one or two ever come on the UK market at any time, so if you want a focused driving machine that looks as good as it drives, this Cobra will be hard to better. Fully road legal as you would expect and sold with UK V5C and current MOT to February 2016, the car will also be accompanied by its roll hoop and a wet-weather tonneau cover.

The Ferrari F360 was built as a two seater sports car by Ferrari from 1999 to 2005. The new model had an entirely new all-aluminium space frame chassis which was 40% stiffer than the previous model and 28% lighter. Fitted with a 3.6Ltr V8 engine, coupled to a 6 speed gearbox, the Challenge Stradale model is a low production track day focused car - from the outset, the engineers designed the car with a 20% track day use and 80% road use in mind. Performance wise, the engine generated 426BHP at 8500RPM which gave it a top speed of 190MPH. Other improvements included more responsive throttle, enhanced steering wheel feedback and reduction in weight by as much as 95KG. The Challenge Stradale also got Brembo carbon ceramic brakes as standard; this shaved 16KG off the curb weight, improved handling and eliminated brake fade.

The Ford Capri was designed to be the Ford Mustang of Europe. A mind boggling array of options meant that the Capri could be whatever you wanted it to be; just like the Mustang. The Capri was in fact a far more varied animal than the Mustang with engines ranging from 1300cc to 3100cc as well as a myriad of trim specifications. The most popular engine was the 1600cc unit, but the object of most desire was the three litre version, which was available from 1969 Mk.I to the 1981 as the 3.0S and then latterly, the 2.8. The Capri was ready for a special preview in Bonn on 21st January, 1969. It then went on to be released to the press and public at the Brussels Motor Show on 24th January. There had previously been a press preview in Cyprus but Ford had requested that nothing about the new car would be published until 24th January to coincide with the Motor Show. Surprisingly, this request was honoured and the Capri caused a sensation at the Show. The model would stay in production for 18 years, 1969 to 1987.

1960 MGA Fixedhead Coupé
The MGA was officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955 by the MG division of the British Motor Corporation. The MGA from launch enjoyed success on both road and track most notably at Le Mans and NASCAR. The MGA triumphed at the Sports Car Club of America national championships in 1986, 1990, 1995, 2002, 2003 and 2005 with Kent Prather at the wheel. Domestically the MGA, in coupé form particularly, continues to be used as the car of choice for discerning road rally enthusiasts up and down the country.
the greater engine capacity, a five-speed gear box was installed. The steering was also rebuilt, whilst new sills and wings were fitted, along with a front valence. To complete the comprehensive rebuild, the car was repainted in red with old English white to the roof, and Minilite-style alloy wheels fitted. Since the rebuild the car has been used for European touring and regular shorter trips. The odometer reads a shade under 81,000 miles and the history file has receipted bills for mechanical and cosmetic works with a raft of old MOTs.
It is with great pleasure that we offer this 1960 MGA to market. True to the rally pedigree of its siblings, 351 STE has competed in the 1998 Monte Carlo Challenge, 1999 Winter Challenge, 2000 Classic Marathon, 2001 Rallye de Paris and the 2002 Monte Carlo Historique. Among the myriad of upgrades fitted to 351 STE are sump and petrol tank guards, Halda trip meter, stop watch, Don Barrow light, additional map reading light, OMP rally seats, four point harness and roll cage. Included with the car is a spare set of steel wheels with snow tyres and chains.
Although the FIVA papers lapsed in 2007, prior to the rebuild, the vendor believes 351 STE could easily be brought up to current FIVA regulations. Presenting well today, the car shows little if any “rally rash” and the paintwork gleams. It is hard to believe that this car is fifty five years old. The bodywork and the fixed head roof shows no adverse effects of British and continental winter weather. The vendor informs us that this is a “proven” sports car with extensive rally experience and future competitions are firmly within its sights.
In 2006 ‘351 STE’ retired from distance rallying and was issued with a 1860 fully balanced fast road engine, featuring a stage-two head, bigger valves, higher compression and lightened fly wheel. To complement

The first generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by Ford Motor Company from April 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobille known as the “Pony” car. The Fastback version was put on sale the following year. With each revision, the Mustang saw an increase in overall dimensions and engine power. In 1968, the Ford Motor Company updated their existing models; 3 point lap and shoulder belts were included and air conditioning was offered as an option, along with other instrument improvements. The Mustang Fastback gained popular iconic status from the crime thriller, ‘Bullitt’, when actor Steve McQueen drove a modified Highland Green 1968 Mustang Fastback.

Porsche introduced the 964 Turbo model in March 1990 as the successor to the 930 and using the same 3.3 litre engine. Several minor revisions made the engine smoother, less prone to turbo-lag and more powerful, with a total output of 320bhp at 5750rpm. Just 3,660 964 Turbos were manufactured.
This car is fitted with a host of options including: Sports seats with electric height adjustment on driver’s side, tinted-top windscreen, 3-spoke Porsche crested steering wheel, turbo-style alloy wheels, electric sunroof and Porsche branded, black painted brake callipers, to name a few.
This capable 964 Turbo Coupé is finished in Amazon Green with Stone leather interior. This car is in very good overall condition but is now showing some minor signs of age and mileage and would, in truth, benefit from light attention to a smattering of stone chips and a good leather feed. Mechanically, however, the 3.3litre and 320bhp engine pulls strongly and the gearbox is direct and accurate, engaging gears with ease.

This BMW M3 looks in great condition and makes the perfect track day car to either learn the UK circuits or to do exactly what it was designed for - to be driven! Few cars can match the driving dynamics of an M3.
The main impetus for the E30 M3’s existence was Group A racing, a production-based class that demanded that each race car share its core mechanical components with a road car, of which at least 5,000 examples had to be produced. Thus, BMW Motorsport designed the race car first, then applied the necessary changes to the road car in order to homologate the competition machine. The result was a car that raised the bar in terms of handling and performance, not only on the track but for road use. This car is a 1989 E30 M3 originally supplied to the German market that has now been prepared for fast road and track day use. The engine has been swapped for a 2.5 litre block, rebuilt by the renowned BMW specialist, Ross Cockburn, now giving around 250bhp.

These allow it to both usable and safe to drive, while giving full peace-ofmind (if desired, it could very easily be converted to absolutely original condition without any major work being necessary).
As Sambas were never officially imported new into the UK, SGP 62 is thought to be the only surviving example of the few Wolfsburg-built examples that were. In 1959 Mr Colborne-Baber converted the interior of SGP 62 to be used for family holidays. This work was done by renowned specialists Devon Conversions. In 1992, SGP 62 was rediscovered in the West Country after 30 years in storage. It has been professionally restored over the last 18 months as a faithful reproduction of its condition as used by the Colborne-Baber family.

undertaken. It was around this time that the registration was changed to the private plate ‘MJC 88.’ In April 1999, the next owner, a Mr P. Miles, purchased the car, with just over 44,000 miles on the odometer and put it in his car collection. A letter in the history file states the car was kept in a Carcoon, started once a fortnight and serviced each year; even though he only covered 2,400 miles in his 9 years of ownership. The following owner bought the car from Mr Miles in 2008 and placed the apt registration plate ‘B16 PCH’ on the car.
It was on 20th March 1990 that a Mr Martin Cramp, of Stourport-on-Severn, purchased the car and within a matter of months decided to transform the look to a “Flachbau” or Flat Nose style front end. The Flat Nose stemmed from the Porsche 935, which had been successfully campaigned in long distance endurance racing in the late 1970s and early ‘80s. Mr Cramp commissioned AutoTech Motor Engineers of Stourbridge, an Approved Porsche Body Repairer, to carry out a full ‘Flat Nose’ conversion on the car. This was done over a 3 year period, costing £21,543 in parts alone and a further £9,000 in labour, giving a staggering total bill of £30,543! A comprehensive invoice listing all factory parts and correspondence between owner and specialist can be found within the history file, documenting the work
Our vendor purchased the car in 2009, at which time it had covered approximately 48,000 miles. Since then, he has used and enjoyed the car sparingly, bringing it up-to-date with a current odometer reading of 57,477 miles. Presented in purple with a deep maroon interior, the paint is in good condition, although we feel it would benefit from a machine polish. The cabin houses a CD player but the original Porsche supplied radio does come with the car, along with the original radio code card. The driver’s side seat shows some wear on the bolster, which is easily treatable and remedied. With its original Porsche wallet containing the service book, drivers manual and maintenance record, a history file containing old MoT certificates and other bills, plus a current MoT until 2.12.15, this wonderful Flat Nose 3.3 Turbo is not to be missed.

When Stuart Turner was appointed head of Ford Motorsport in Europe in 1983 he quickly came to the conclusion that the company was no longer competitive in motorsport. The introduction of the Sierra in 1982 required a marketing boost so it was allocated to become the platform for Ford’s new competition aspirations. It was rear wheel drive, it had good aerodynamics, albeit being prone to lift at high speeds and it was available as a three door. The new body kit and rear spoiler would sort out the lift issues. But Ford still needed to build 5000 units for homologation; this was somewhat worrying when Turner’s initial approach to the dealer network came back with an estimate that suggested they could sell around 1500 units! The successful eventual sales record is of course history. Ford went on to sell 5545 three-door cars including the RS500, of which only 500 were built, and the Cosworth engine also found its way into nearly 30,000 Ford Sierra Saloons (Cosworth 3dr, Sapphire 2wd and 4wd). The Sierra Cosworth comfortably exceeded Ford’s wishes and it went on to become one of the most successful Touring Car racers of all time, winning races all over the world. This stunning Ford RS500 is finished in the ultimate colour combination of Black with standard grey Recaro Trim. It was first dispatched from the Ford factory in July 1987

It is built as a Works rally replica, having benefitted from a chassis-up rebuild in 2003-2005, of which a photo record is available. New minilites, shock absorbers, fully rebuilt carburettors, rolling-road tuning, new distributor with electronic ignition, new alternator, new aluminium radiator and new tyres all round have been levied on the car since ownership in May 2014. It is sold complete with rollover bar (rear only), surrey hardtop and a new soft top. The 2213cc engine has been dyno tested and is producing 113bhp at 3,810rpm. It will be sold with rally tripmeter and two dashboard mounted stop watches. It had a FIVA Identity Card issued May 2004, but this expires after ten years so it will need to be re-applied for.

There is also a heritage certificate confirming the car to be an original righthand drive home market car in Red with Red interior and overdrive, windscreen washer, tonneau cover and 5.9015 Goodyear tyres. Further to these are also a host of sundry invoices and receipts for years of maintenance and the thorough restoration with photographic evidence from 2003-2005 by Woodbridge Classic Cars.

First introduced to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963, the Porsche 911 has now been in production for over fifty years. From its original production car base, the 911 has become one of the most successful competition cars of all time, both as a circuit racer and rally car. As early as 1965, the ‘Works’ entered a 911 SWB in the Monte Carlo Rally and within two years Vic Elford was winning rounds in the European Championship. This very rare left-hand drive 2.0 is a desirable SWB A-Series European model from 1965. The current owner has treasured this example since 1998. In that time, it has been maintained correctly and has just been fully serviced by Porsche specialists in Oslo. It is accompanied by a host of paperwork and bills for maintenance works including all services since 1998. A full condition report and a substantial history file is available for inspection. The matching number engine in the vehicle was completely stripped and re-built approximately 20 years ago and at considerable cost to the first owner. This

custodian was a member of the John Von Neumann Racing fraternity and the first VW and Porsche dealer in the USA. Still, to today this, SWB has had only four keepers from new, all on file and known. The bodywork is described as very presentable, with good shut lines and no obvious signs of rust or decay. The interior is in very fine and all original condition. The car is in full working order, sounds incredible and has a fresh Norwegian MOT. The general condition would be best described as usable with a fair patina. The next owner could simply use this pretty little 911 and even drive it home ‘as-is’ or add value to make it a true concours contender. Porsche 911 S and SWB prices have been robust in recent months with the auctions at Arizona showing there’s still appetite for honest and rare cars like this. Being a 1965 year, this 911 would be eligible for racing at the finest racetracks and blue ribband events around the world.

Mechanically similar to the F430 Challenge, the Ferrari ‘F430 GT3’ has the same extensive weight reductions and suspension upgrades over the standard road car, along with the introduction of the Formula 1 derived gearbox. Unlike the F430 Challenge, the F430 GT3 model has been subject to improvements found largely in the cars overall aerodynamics front and rear, and with power enhancements to its 4.3L V8 competition engine. This brings the output to 550bhp, which makes the F430 GT3 the most powerful of all F430 racing variants. This car was bought from CRS in November 2009 by Chad racing and used in the 2010 FIA GT3 Championship & British GT Championship (STP car). In August 2013, the car was rebuilt with all new wiring looms and all the Evo updates from Kessel Racing. These

The Daimler SP250 by Daimler in Coventry from 1959 to 1964. The SP250 was originally known as the Daimler Dart, but Daimler soon dropped the Dart name when threatened with legal action by Chrysler’s Dodge division, and the car was then renamed the Daimler SP250. It was launched at the 1959 New York Motor Show, with a fibreglass body, four-wheel Girling disc brakes, and a 2.5-litre Hemi-head V8 engine designed by Edward Turner. Jaguar bought Daimler in 1960, and were immediately concerned about the chassis flex. To address this they brought out the B-spec, version with extra outriggers on the chassis and a strengthening hoop between the A-posts. There were also other detail improvements, including an adjustable steering column.

1988 Ford Sierra Cosworth
Offered here is a stunning Texaco-liveried Sierra Cosworth that has campaigned with significant success in the 2013 and 2014 Classic Touring Cars Racing Club (CTRC) pre-’93 Touring Car series. According to marque specialists Oakfields, who offered their knowledge and assistance during the build, it is believed to be the last known genuine, right-hand drive 909 Sierra shell in existence. The shell had been stored by Malcolm Wilson Motorsport for over a decade and it was passed on to an employee, who himself stored it until it was discovered by the current owner. He soon set to work creating a tribute to the great Eggenberger Texaco Group A Sierras that dominated the European Touring Car Championship in 1988, with British driver, Steve Soper, at the wheel. Once the shell had been purchased, the owner turned his attention to the drivetrain, running gear and body panels. Genuine RS Cosworth panels and parts were sourced and the highly reputable Ford engine builder, Ric Wood, was brought in to assemble the mighty YB powerplant. A full list of specifications and spares will be available at the auction but this car certainly boasts a huge number of very desirable parts and has been built with no expense spared.The shell and all of the components were eventually brought together under the stewardship of race car builder, Anthony Seddon.

had been sourced and the task of tuning, tweaking and fettling was now in full swing. A rigorous programme was undertaken that even included help from the technical director of AVO, who assisted with the suspension setup. Finally, at the last round of the 2013 CTRC at Silverstone, the car was unveiled to public and ready to race. “The fierce Ford’s good looks and amazing presence on track afforded it a lot of attention from enthusiatstic punters who were bowled over by its ability to dismiss the competition with ease. In fact, the car was sat at the front of the grid all weekend and won the last race of the season!” Presented in superb order throughout, the car has just finished the 2014 season, which it won outright in October at Spa. However, during its time with the current owner it crucially avoided any ‘racing incidents’ and the bodywork and finish remain excellent. A full set of its results can be found at: http://classictouringcars.com/dates.html. Even if possible, it would cost well in excess of £100,000 to build a car to this standard and specification today. It also has invites to prestigious race meetings in 2015, such as the Silverstone Classic. Evidently, this Sierra Cosworth is a front-running, ready to race car that epitomises a great era in Motorsport history.

1957 Chevrolet Corvette C1 ‘Fuelie’
Chevrolet pulled something amazing out of the hat for 1957: fuel-injection. First run in 1956 at the Sebring race, the Rochester Ramjet injection was an answer to Mercedes-Benz, which featured fuel-injection in the 1954 300SL. The innovation solved a fuel starvation problem caused by sloshing while cornering with carbureted engines under race conditions. The fuel-injection system, displayed in a cutaway drawing to the left, also enabled Chevrolet to boast of 1 hp per cubic inch of displacement with a 283 cu. inch, 283 hp engine. To keep this development in perspective, consider this; almost all of the high-priced, supposedly advanced competition, including Jaguar, Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini, did not go with fuel injection until the 1970s or later in their road cars. At $484.20, this one option added over 15% of the price of an entire Corvette. Buyers found it irresistible, however, with 1,040 ticking the box on the order form in ‘57. Not up for debate is the way the market treats fuel injected Corvettes of the era. Corvette enthusiasts would acknowldge that in terms of desirablity, there is a premium for a “Fuelie” (as they are often called), compared to their more mundane carbureted cousins.

This fuel injected 1957 C1 is an exceptionally rare beast. According to the C1 registry, chassis number E57S102614 was sold new on March 1st 1957 and was built in St. Louis, Missouri. Factory options included the ultimate top-specification 283ci/283hp V8 with Rochester fuelinjection, heater, whitewall tyres, two-tone Polo White paint and even an elusive hard-top (supplied with this example in original condition). It boasts a manual 3-speed gearbox for smooth boulevard cruising and curvaceous red leather interior. This older restoration has mellowed nicely over the years and hails from, where else, but the very ‘dry’ state of Las Vegas, Nevada. The current owner purchased the car recently and it has formed a centre piece in his extensive collection. Maintenance has been carried out by renowned marque experts Claremont Corvette and the car is being prepped for an MoT at the time of cataloguing.

With its distinctive shape and totally individual character, the 911 has appealed to driving enthusiasts since its introduction in 1963. In 1989, the 964 C4 model with four-wheel drive and a 250bhp 3.6 litre engine changed the playing field for sports cars. Looking back, the 964 was for too long over-looked in the history of Porsche. However, as with all great inventions, it’s time has come ... And what better way to celebrate the 964 than with this cracking C4 Cabriolet example in imposing Guards Red? Boasting contrasting Silk Grey leather interior, piped with red and black mohair roof, this car looks stunning from every angle.

The Explorer II model, 1655, was introduced in 1971. The movement was either the 1570 or the 1575, and essentially this particular model was a GMT with a fixed stainless steel bezel. It had a distinctive dial with an extra hour hand that was designed specifically for speleologists, or cave explorers, who Rolex claimed, “ soon lose all notion of time: morning, afternoon, day, or night.” The extra hour hand, or 24 hour, would tell the explorers whether the 4 on the dial was 4:00 a.m. or 4:00 p.m. (16:00 hrs). This model has also been called the Steve McQueen Rolex. Steve McQueen may have worn a TAG Heuer Monaco wristwatch in the film Le Mans, but in real life he wore a Rolex Explorer II, model 1655. The Explorer II is very popular among collectors today.

Legendary racer and expert race car preparer, Mike Jordan, owner of the Jordan Racing Team has had the pleasure of watching his son, Andrew, progress in racing through karts, British Rallycross and the BTCC to eventually reach the heady heights of outright BTCC champion in 2013. But many years before all that (too many to mention!) the love of his life (and Andrew’s mum!) drove a Fiat 126 during the heady days of their courtship and those memories inspired Mike to recently recreate that car with a couple of subtle upgrades..... This mint and rust free Fiat 126 was found on display in a Fiat main dealership in 2011 with just 6,668 miles recorded by just one elderly lady owner. As such it was the perfect platform to apply a few upgrades and a slightly brighter colour!

The engine was dispatched to noted Abarth experts, Middle Barton Garage, who rebuilt the engine to Abarth spec by fitting a sidedraught carburettor, an Abarth cam, new pistons, new clutch and an uprated gearbox with stronger driveshafts and finally an Abarth exhaust system.

1981 Ferrari 308 GTSi
October 1975 saw the debut of the most successful shape ever to wear the Cavallino Rampante emblem. Over 20,000 examples of all engine types and sizes were produced from 1975-1989. Pininfarina designed the two seater Berlinetta using the engine (now dry sump) and running gear from the 308 GT4 2+2. This new car was made on a traditional steel tube chassis but its beautiful body was firstly manufactured in GRP and then, after two years, Scagaletti started making GTBs in steel. The 3 litre four cam V8 was more or less unchanged until March 1981 when Bosch fuel injection was added in place of the 4 double choke Webers, although the final drive was altered on these cars to give similar acceleration to a carburetter car. Irrespective of the model, the 308 has to go down as one of Ferrari’s all-time greatest road cars and prices are most definitely on the rise. This 1981 example has spent its life in sunny California, USA and was brought to the UK in 2014. A V5C document has been applied for.

The car presents as a very usable and original example. The paintwork has suffered from the heat and, although not unsightly, it is slightly dull and has minor shrinkage. The interior again is very presentable showing only some grazing to the seats as the leather has become slightly dry. Presented with its tool roll and some paperwork, unfortunately the original service book is missing. However, there are some invoices showing work undertaken on the car in the later years of its USA life, along with a hand written note detailing work done on the car, including a belt service and replacement clutch in 2011. Offered at an attractive guide price, this car presents a great opportunity to purchase a car to use and enjoy with scope for improvements and personalisation if desired.

In September 1990, the Mini Cooper RSP (Rover Special Products) was introduced. The RSP was the first Cooper in 19 years and the first Mini with a 1,275 cc engine in a decade. It was, to this point, the only non-Works Mini fitted with an oil cooler as standard. The production of 1,050 for the UK was nowhere near enough. It was an instant success and sold out even before cars began to appear in showrooms. The distinctive look was enhanced with white bonnet stripes with John Cooper signatures. Offered here is one of the 1,050 RHD units made with just 264 miles recorded and finished in the rare combination of black with white roof and white Cooper stripes. The interior is the black Cooper RSP trim with half leather. The specification included sunroof, Philips R570 stereo, twin driving lights, colour coded mirrors and wheel arches and 12” RSP alloys.

The Mini was purchased new on the 25th September 1990 by Mr Leslie Buckley of Romiley, Stockport from Manchester Rover dealer, Horners Limited. It was used for circa 4 months - covering just 180 miles - before Mr Buckley put the Mini into long term storage. In February 2012, the Mini passed onto its second custodian, Mr Peter Lee of Hythe, Southampton, having covered just 209 miles from new. The underside still shows the original factory wax and the sign-off stickers are still present under the bonnet. The Mini Cooper RSP is complete with its original owners books and manuals, the original sales brochure, spare keys and toolkit. It is still on it’s original Pirelli Cinturato CN54 tyres. The whole look is complemented by the registation G13 RSP (GB RSP). This Cooper surely represents a great investment that requires absolutely nothing except a new home.

Lister is one of the most renowned names in sports car racing history. The Lister-Jaguar, designed by Brian Lister, swept almost all before it during its first full racing season in 1957. In recent years cars bearing the Lister name have been a major force in GT racing worldwide. From the early 1980s, the name has also graced some of the world’s fastest road cars. Following an agreement first with BLE Automotive and then with WP Automotive, we saw highly modified XJ-S models marketed as ListerJaguars. The famous Lister Jaguar connection made its commercial reappearance in 1986. Approximately 90 tuned Jaguar XJSs were produced, with the emphasis very much on super car performance. According to Lister factory chassis records, this XJS is one of only 25 Le Mans 7.0 litre Coupés produced. Lister number #081LJ started life in the UK as a 1990 XJS and was converted by the factory to 6.0 litre Mk III specification. In March 1992, the car was further upgraded to Full 7.0 Litre Le Mans specification. Invoices in the large history file show bills for engine work, Getrag 6-Speed gearbox, twin superchargers (£8,600) and work to complete the conversion that totalled £77,000 alone. Further bills, receipts and MoT documents substantiate the history and total mileage of 43,850 miles from new.

More recently a large array of recommissioning jobs were completed by David Marks in 2012, a respected engineer within Jaguar Owner’s Club circles. GII CAT was road tested by Ross Alkureishi of Classic Cars Magazine in January 2015. He stated: “Say hello to the biggest, baddest Jaguar on the planet - not even the XJ220 comes close in terms of sheer brute force... At 3000rpm the twin superchargers kick in fully, the rear squats down, the nose rises and you’re hurtled forward as the instant torque arrives with a visceral ferocity.” 1980s and 1990s exotica, such as Lister XJS’, have shown bullish rises in value recently as their depreciation curves level off and good examples become harder to source. Finished in XJS metallic blue with parchment blue piped interior, the physical presence of this vehicle could not be more evocative. A British bruiser in the most subtle and gentlemanly of colour combinations. Thank you to Charlie Magee Photography and Classic Cars Magazine for the use of these wonderful images.

The Lotus Elan was first introduced in 1962 as a roadster and then as a coupé version in 1965. The model was technically advanced with its twin-cam 1558cc engine, 4-wheel disc brakes, and 4-wheel independent suspension. It could reach 60mph in just 7.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 122mph. SE variants featured an increased power output of 118bhp and an upgraded close ratio gearbox. In October 1972 the +2 S 130/5 was launched, and as suggested by the name, this final derivative of the Elan was to have a five-speed gearbox and ‘big valve’ engine with higher compression for the UK market. This stunning ‘+2S’ was built in February 1973 and delivered on 30th April to Plough Motors Ltd, Stonehouse, Gloucestershire. The Lotus Classic Certificate of Vehicle Provenance in the history file shows that the car was destined to be their dealer demonstrator and was originally delivered in Cirrus White (Lotus paint code: LO4) with a silver roof. A handful of MoT certificates from C.B. Munks (Motor Engineers) Ltd of Hucknall, Nottinghamshire in the 1980s suggest that the car resided in the Midlands for a time, but for how long it is unknown.

1996 Porsche 911 993 Cabriolet
Introduced in September 1993, the 993 variant of the marque was notable for being Porsche’s last air-cooled 911; an honour which rewards the driver of the extremely capable 993 today. Improved handling, ride-quality and refinement courtesy of a stiffer-chassis to that of its 964 predecessor and multi-link rear suspension delivered notable gains in high-speed stability cementing the legend of the Porsche 911 which continues with the new 991. Powered by a reworked 3.6 litre flat-six engine allied to sixspeed manual or semi-automatic Tiptronic transmission, the result was some 272bhp on tap and a claimed 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds with a 167mph top speed. By 1996, the introduction of the Variocam powerplant improved bhp by 13hp. Flared wheel arches, flatter set headlights and advanced underbody aerodynamics completed the impressive package. For many, the last ‘true’ 911, the 993 made way for the water-cooled 996 in 1998. Purchased by our vendor in 2008 from H&H Auctions, this August 1996 registered car has been carefully stored and subjected to fewer than 3,000miles during his custodianship.

Finished in an unusual but attractive Turquoise metallic paint with contrasting light Grey leather upholstery, this fine example is in all round good condition both internally and externally. The paint retains a deep shine (save for one or two unavoidable small stone-chips to the nose) and the seat-leather is plush and fresh (save for a little light scarring on the driver’s seat squab, testament to the mileage). Boasting just four former keepers, this car has travelled fewer than 26,000 miles from new, warranted by MOTs and services; 8 in total, up to 22,717 miles. It drives superbly, sounds fantastic and travels through the manual gearbox with ease. Finally, it wears the appropriate registration number ‘C11 CAB’ (Carrera 2 Cabriolet). Sold with UK V5C in the name of our privateer vendor and MOT’d to mid-September 2015, this handsome and desirable 993 variant of the iconic 911 has to be one of the finest and lowest mileage examples for sale in the UK today.

When the Porsche 964 when introduced in 1989 it was 85% different to the out-going 911. The design incorporated more integral bumpers and a host of mechanical changes; most significant was the introduction of four wheel drive. The displacement was now up to 3600cc producing 250bhp. Power steering and ABS brakes were now fitted as standard. The torsion bar rear suspension was replaced with coil springs and shock absorbers. Such was the success that in the five years of production over 62,000 left the factory. The car offered here today is a 1990 car with just five former keepers. Acquired by the vendor in August 2008 at 43,800 miles, this Baltic Blue C4 has now covered a genuine c45,500mls as corroborated by every MoT from 1993 at 8,424mls. This is a 3.6 litre, manual, Baltic Blue, C4 with low mileage and low ownership. It is clearly a well-maintained and exceptionally preserved car. The interior feels almost new with crisp white pinstripes through the blue cloth. The car feels incredibly tight and taut when driving. Purposeful and direct, there’s no flounce or hesitation with this C4 964. In fact, the only criticism this consignor could levy against this car is the clumsy placement of a St. Christopher mascot near to the ignition and a very slight scuff to the offside rear bumper.

1997 Porsche 911 993 Targa
Porsche manufactured the 993 from 1993 through to early 1998, its discontinuation marking the end of the air-cooled Porsches. There were many technical improvements over the outgoing 964. The rear suspension was now alloy, together with the sub-frame, which made for far better handling and ride. The transmissions were improved in both the manual (now six speed - a first for Porsche) and the Tiptronic gearbox which became more sophisticated, recognising gradients and descents and so improving the driving experience. Mechanically, the brakes and exhaust systems were all improved. The bodywork was revised to give a more rounded style, with a genesis that is apparent in today’s 911s’. Engine development included Porsche’s VarioRam induction system that improved the torque characteristics of the engine, which greatly improved the overall performance. This was a standard feature from 1996 onwards. Delivered to Hampstead in London in January 1997 via AFN Limited of Chiswick, this Targa variant of the marque with responsive Tiptronic gearbox is in the best colour combination of Midnight Blue metallic paint with Grey leather interior and is accompanied by Porsche leather wallet & book pack plus service book showing the maintenance record.

Acquired by our vendor in May 2008, at a similar time to his other two Porsches offered in this same auction, this car now shows circa 81,000 believed-genuine miles. The history file includes MOTs back to 2006 when the car showed 61,361, however, the remainder of the mileage can be reasonably corroborated by the stamped service record as detailed. The car is in excellent mechanical order with the gearbox performing as you would expect and the engine pulling strongly. The Targa roof operates correctly and the interior is in very good order for the mileage (save for the usual wear to the drivers’ seat bolster). The exterior panels are all straight and true, however, in absolute truth the paint could be bettered. The new owner may wish to consider a lower-half respray to correct the stone chips to the front of the car and better the aesthetic. Whilst it is not strictly necessary to paint the car to enjoy it as Porsche intended, our vendor has made allowance in the price in order that the next owner may budget for paint rectification if they wish. This fine 993 will be accompanied by a fresh MOT from mid-January 2015 to 2016 and is sold with UK V5C registration certificate.

The famed Jaguar MkII was voted car of the year when introduced in 1959. With 3 engine options - 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8 (the 3.8 being the fastest saloon in the world at the time), it would form the mainstay of Jaguar’s saloon production until 1967.
1963 Jaguar MkII 3.8 Manual Overdrive
Simon Wheeler totals £39,217 for all work & upgrades to be carried out including shipping to and from Beachams HQ in Hastings, New Zealand!
Delivered new in 1963 by Jaguar dealer Henlys of London, this car was supplied with the more powerful 3.8 engine and was originally finished in grey with a red leather interior. The early history of the car is unfortunately not documented, and we pick up the story again in 1991, when a Mr Merryweather of Cambridge purchases the car with grand plans in mind. Before ownership of the MkII was signed over to the would be owner, there are quotes in history file from various restoration companies, including; English Classic Cars, Vicarage Ltd and Simon Wheeler Classic Cars for an extensive restoration of ‘963 EOW’.
An amended invoice from Dr Greg Beacham himself in 1991 shows a sum of £41,717 for the following restoration work and upgrades to be made to the car including; Vanden Plas seats, XJS power steering, air conditioning, Getrag 5-speed gearbox, uprated disc brakes, electronic ignition and a heated rear window to name but a few of the improvements. The car was finished in Alfa Romeo Rosso Red with a black leather interior and scheduled for a completion date of November 1991 ready to be shipped in January ‘92 back to UK shores. A plotted mileage is documented through the MoT certificates from 1993 when the car had covered 3,143 miles since restoration, bringing it right up date with the odometer currently reading only 25,046 miles.
At that time, Simon Wheeler Classic Cars was acting as the UK agent for the now famed Jaguar MkII specialist Beacham Cars Ltd and it was decided by Mr Merryweather that the car was to have the Beacham treatment. A proforma invoice dated March 1991 from
Presented in excellent condition throughout and showing no signs of being an older restoration, this MkII is not to be overlooked and at a fraction of the cost of other uprated MkII’s currently on the market. This genuine Beachams restored car is ripe for more enjoyment.

1971 Porsche 911T 2.2 Coupé
Introduced at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show, the basic Porsche 911 design would run virtually unchanged for twenty nine years. For 1970 the C-Series 911 was introduced with a larger bore to give a capacity of 2165cc, producing 125bhp and now badged as a “T”. Alterations to suspension points improved the handling and gave the steering a better on centre feel. Offered here is a very original example of the sought after 911T which was first registered on 31.3.71 in Zurich, Switzerland. The original Porsche Pflegepass (registration document) with the car has a dealer stamped service history to 6.4.90 by which time the car had travelled just 58,787 km in 19 years. The Swiss service history resumes in 2004 and is continuous to date. The previous owner to our vendor imported the car from Switzerland in 2006. The odometer now reads 66,000 kms. It is understood from the previous Swiss owner that the distance travelled is in fact 166,000 kms, which is just 103,000 miles in 44 years. This is a beautiful, unmolested, matching numbers example, so difficult to find in this condition. The original colour was Albertblau as is documented in the Porsche certificate, this was subsequently changed to Gemini Blue. The interior is the original black leatherette with

The car was supplied with a number of extras to the standard 911 T specification, 5 speed gearbox, Fuchs forged light alloy wheels, gold Porsche name and model number, aluminium sill protectors, 911 S instruments and rear window demist. The car is fitted with a working period radio. It has a modern alarm and immobiliser. As testament to its Swiss ownership the car came to us fitted with a period Clay Regazzoni signature steering wheel by Momo (itself rare). The original Porsche 4 spoke, leather covered, steering wheel comes with the car. In the last few months, the car has also undergone an extensive engine rebuild and the Carbs have been changed to a completely rebuilt set of matching Weber 40 IDAs along with a Pertronix Ingnitor Electronic Ignition kit. The original Zenith carburettors and Marelli Distributor and air box come with the car, so can be changed back to original setup in a very short time if required. It is rare to find a car in this lovely condition with a patina that restored examples simply cannot match. With 911S values at £200,000 for the very best, this 911T represents value and this car is surely a great usable investment at todays guide. Taxed and MOT’d until December 2015.

Technically the car boasts some quite incredible components. The engine is a 2-litre 4 cylinder developing 290 bhp mated to a six-speed sequential gearbox. The ECU is Bosch 1.7 and the roll bars can be adjusted internally. The cost to build these cars in 1995 was in the millions and to see this level of engineering in the flesh is something very special. A spares package includes: 10 spare wheels and tyres including wets, a set of body panels, front and rear bumpers, carbon parts and brakes. A larger spares package is available through the owner by separate negotiation.
This Supertourer has both a distinguished racing pedigree and genuine front-running pace in the HSCC Supertouring Trophy. It finished 2nd and 3rd at last year’s Oulton Park Gold Cup and can be raced in many prestigious events in 2015, such as the Silverstone Classic. The current owner describes the car as: “on the button and ready to race... A sure fire winner in the right hands or with a novice in the wet!

1978 Ferrari 308 GTB
The 308 GTB was launched at the Paris Motor show in 1975 as a direct replacement for the Dino 246. Designed by Pininfarina with sweeping curves and aggressive lines, the 308 has gone on to become one of the most recognised Ferraris of all time.
‘BRP 264S’ then went over to Hong Kong in the late ‘80s (probably during the first classic car boom!). The car benefited from a full exterior refresh in 1992 and interior refresh in 1997, for which there is a detailed invoice of work carried out accompanying the car.
Fitted with a 2.9 litre DOHC V8 engine with four Weber 40DCNF Carburettors that produced 255bhp, the 308 went from 0 to 60mph in 6.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 159 mph. In 1980, fuel injection was added to the 308 and power went down from 255 bhp to 214 bhp. However, two years later, four vales per cylinder were added giving quattrovalvole models 240bhp. The 308 was manufactured in both GTB and GTS forms from 1977 to 1985, before being replaced by the 328.
In March 2000, the car returned to the UK. The vendor purchased the car in April 2004 and has owned it for the last 10 years.

Of the many Jaguar race preparers in the UK, one name stands out head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to quality, fine detail and results on the race track. That name is M and C Wilkinson, the Yorkshire based historic Jaguar race car specialists behind many race winning Jaguars of note. This car was acquired by Mike Wilkinson direct from the serious racing Jaguar collection of Alan Lloyd, who was the founder of Lloyds Chemists and an ex main board director of Jaguar Cars Ltd. Alan had acquired this genuine UK right hand drive Jaguar MkI saloon and converted it to full historic racing specification in 1990 and then campaigned it throughout Europe for several seasons with considerable success.

A new aluminium radiator keeps everything cool and the 4 speed synchro gearbox benefits from a refresh, as does the rear axle which incorporates a ‘Powerlock Gripper’ limited slip differential. The FIA spec brakes (Mk9 calipers and discs with drums at the rear) are new, as are the hubs, wheels, Koni dampers and suspension. A new ‘bag tank’ sits in the boot and the car is now fully ready to race. The car has competed at one ‘shake down’ race at Donington with the HRDC in 2014 and is now a competitive and front running car in the right hands. It is known to Goodwood and is eligible for racing in the Revival - subject, of course, to securing an invitation!

1985 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo
The Porsche 930 Turbo was a genuine ‘Supercar’ that defined the Seventies and Eighties. It was one of the fastest production cars available at the time. It was first seen at the 1973 Paris Auto Show and full production commenced two years later. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS which was increased to 3.0 Litres and, of course, turbocharged with technology gained from Porsche’s 917/30 Can-Am programme.
Wearing its factory correct Black/A1A1 paint colour, the car was originally delivered with Black leather interior. However, we are lead to believe that its current White leather interior was fitted by the car’s second owner in the early years of its life.
The bodywork received special treatment to produce one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear whaletail. The brakes came directly from the Porsche 917 race car. The final evolution of the 930 Turbo saw the engine capacity increased to 3299cc, with improved upgrades on the intercooler and fitment of the G50 transmission. By 1989, the final year of production, the power had risen to 330bhp. Built 13/06/1985 this Porsche 911, 930 Turbo is showing a warranted mere 25,571 miles from new supported by previous MoT records and SORN Records as detailed in the cars history file which tracks the slow but steady increase in the cars mileage.

Purchased in 2013 by a gentleman living in Australia, the car was kept at his UK address and little used. A fastidious gentleman, he made the decision soon after purchase to undertake an engine strip and rebuild along with the fitment of a new clutch to ensure all was as it should be. This was decided as the car has spent some years standing throughout its life and an invoice by WrighTune Ltd for £7771,97 confirms this. Presented with a good history file, which includes a wealth of MoTs and SORN records, along with some invoices. A book pack for the car includes the service book containing 5 stamps up until 1990 when the car was showing 13,190 miles.

Chesterfield entrepreneur and ultra successful businessman, Steve Perez - owner of Global Brands International and Vodka Kick - had a vision of building the ultimate rally car to contest the highly challenging East African Safari. This event, which is held every other year, is one of the toughest and most challenging events in the global historic motorsport calendar. Based on cars that competed ‘in period’, most people have opted for versions of the Ford Escort and the Porsche 911, both of which are comparitvely straightforward to convert in to modern day rally cars with a surplus of specialist parts available throughout the world. However, the only cars that challenged them in period were the famous Datsun 240 Z and 260 Zs driven by past legends such as the late great Shekar Mehta and Tony Fall. This memory inspired Steve’s thinking when he set about building this amazing car (and complete team) to contest the rally with the aim of an outright win; a feat achieved by a similar car in 2003 and 2005.

1978 / 1991 Ram 427 SC AC Cobra
The Ram Cobra was conceived in the early 1980’s by Adrian Cocking, the tubular space frame chassis being designed by Formula 1 Designer, Adrian Reynard. In 1985 Autocar Magazine carried out a full track test at Brands Hatch pitching the Ram against the BRA 427, a Gravetti, a Python and a Dax. The then current Saloon Car Champion Andy Rouse drove all cars back to back. His conclusion was the Ram was ‘head and shoulders’ above the opposition in terms of handling and road-holding. In Europe, a French company ran a one make race series with over 30 Ram Cobras lining up on the grid often driven by ex-Formula One drivers. The Ram is still being further developed today by Cheng Lim of Thunder Road Cars who are considered by many to renovate and race the quickest and best handling bespoke Cobras available in Europe. Rams were the only worldwide recreation Cobra at the time to be granted personal approval by Carroll Shelby. Because of their ability, rarity and heritage, Ram’s have become very sought-after and collectable Cobra Replicas.

The E30 M3 was the first purpose built saloon produced by BMW as a racing homologation special by BMW’s in-house Motorsport division. Introduced in 1986 as a road car, it dominated Touring Car racing throughout the World taking countless titles including the prestigious German, Australian and British titles, not to mention the World Touring Car Championship in 1987. To comply with DTM homologation rules, a minimum of 500 M3s had to be built and sold to the public that retained all of the aerodynamic features of the racing car. The BMW M3 Evolution II was the closest road experience to a ‘Group A’ racing-car in 1988. The ‘Evo II’ had many differences compared to a normal specification M3. The engine itself received a slight increase in power thanks to a new camshaft, pistons and intake system. To lighten the car, the flywheel, bootlid, windows and bumpers were reduced in weight. Such modifications made the car quicker and more agile compared to the standard M3. Of the 17,000 M3s produced, only 500 Evo IIs left the factory, making this example one of the most desirable 1980s homologation specials in today’s market.

The hugely-successful Chevron B8 appeared in 1968, usually with BMW 2-litre engines but also with FVAs, FVCs and even Climax engines. It was homologated into Group 4 from 1 March 1968 on the basis that 50 were built. To help the numbers, every rebuild counted as a new car, a habit that would continue into the B16, B19 and even the B21. 44 B’s were subsequently built. The chassis plate on this B8 indicates that this car is chassis number DBE 70/023. In addition, on the right hand side of the chassis (adjacent to the gearbox cross member) is stamped AM23. It was customary for Arch Motors, the engineers responsible for building the B8 chassis, to stamp the chassis in this way. In the document file is the French FIA Historic Identity document from 1998, which states that the car was built in 1968. The 1998 document also lists Chevron Racing Cars/Roger Andreason, Jean Blaton, Willy Mairesse , Laurent Dutoya, Christian and Michael Quiniou and in 2001 Rene Caron as previous owners, but no dates are

1971 Ford Escort MK1 RS 1600
Production of the RS1600 began at Ford’s Halewood assembly plant in January 1970 with the first cars going on sale in April/May of that year at a cost of £1447. Initial production cars were essentially re-engined Twin Cam’s and was only available in White. Homologation of the RS1600 into Group 2 was achieved in September 1970 on the basis of one thousand vehicles having been constructed. In fact, best estimates suggest that only around 1137 RS1600’s were actually produced over the vehicles entire five year production span to the end of 1974. From November 1970 production was transferred to Ford AVO’s (Advanced Vehicle Operations) purpose built assembly line at Aveley, South Okendon where it was joined by a new model, the Escort Mexico. Two additional colours, Sunset Red and Maize Yellow were also made available at this time with further additions to follow at the end of 1971. We are informed by the vendor that YKP 877J, one of the earliest known remaining examples of an original RS1600 BDA twin cam was the subject of a full bare metal restoration and complete refurbishment.

We are told that the car has a current mileometer reading of just under 29000 miles and it has been driven less than 100 miles in the last four years since restoration Specific attention to every detail within the car has been made using genuine NOS (New Old Stock) parts where replacement was required. The rear chrome bumper still even has a period “Ford” sticker on it. Absolute correct unmarked interior, correct dash and instruments all merely emphasise the attention to detail that has gone into this beautiful motor car. The spotless and leak free BDA twin cam delivers the kind of sound you want from a British sports car, with no smoke or signs of overheating and is complimented by a beautifully presented engine bay. Like every good Escort twin cam, the precise steering and communicative chassis make driving this car a rich and rewarding experience Suffice to say YKP 877J is in beautiful condition throughout and is now also offered with a fresh MOT.

1974 Ford Escort RS2000 MkI
The escort RS2000 was the last car to be introduced to the AVO production range, introduced in the June of 1973. The car fitted nicely into the AVO range with its performance almost comparable to the complex RS1600, but with the reliability and ease of maintenance as the Mexico. The car used the same type 49-body shell as the Mexico and RS1600. Fortunately, there was a new engine in use at ford, the 2-litre overhead cam pinto design, which Ford then decided to use instead. Fords then had the major problem to persuade the new bulky pinto engine to fit into the engine bay, which was something it had never been meant to do. The only way of achieving this was by discarding the engine driver cooling fan and replacing it with a thermostatically controlled Kenlowe fan. The engine produced 100bhp (2bhp more than in the Cortina).
instantly into life with the first twist of the key. The four speed manual is reported to be a delight to use, offering tight responsive shifts. The car surges forward with the slightest tap of the throttle pedal, but remains very manageable at all times. Everything feels tight and well put together, with no rattles or groans in evidence anywhere. Handling is reported to be super tight and responsive making this car drive superbly.
The gearbox was the German type e-box and was totally different from the RS1600. They used a final drive of 3.54:1. The car was launched in England on 11th October 1973 priced at £1586.
This RS 2000 boasts an exceptionally well presented engine bay, suggesting that the engine rebuild has been carried out to the same high standard as the bodywork. Wiring is neat and tidy all round, as is the engine bay, so the new owner can display this car with pride at any car show. In beautiful condition and sold with an MOT until October 2015, this is another rare and classic Ford now being recognised by the classic car world.

We are informed by the vendor that this particular airflow Model MK1 Lotus Cortina, whilst registered in 1965, is actually a 1964 built car identifiable by its cylinder head having rounded moulding. It is an early A frame model that was later converted to leaf springs when used for group 2 historic rallying by the Ecurie Ten Team.

Following on from the enormous success of the Lotus Cortina MK1, Ford introduced the Lotus Cortina Mk2 in 1967, with the famous Lotus 1558cc twin cam engine now giving 109bhp. Externally, all the cars had a black front grill, 5.5J x 13 steel wheels and Lotus badges on both rear wings and by the rear number plate. The gearbox ratios remained to 2000E spec, but the final drive was lengthened to 3.77 to 1 from 3.9 to 1 and comfort and handling improvements were made with a larger cockpit, fuel tank and radial tyres.

The Consul and Granada arrived on the scene in 1972 to banish the memories of the previous Zephyr and Zodiac, and show that a pan-European Ford could be just as desirable in London as it was in Berlin. The new executive car was certainly smart and well proportioned, and proof that Ford in the UK had not lost its direction stylistically, despite what some critics of the Z-cars might have been saying. Initially, the Consul name was chosen, not for continuity’s sake, but because of a threatened law-suit by Britain’s Granada Group. Luckily, sense prevailed, and the Granada name was used across the range from 1975. Most car enthusiasts will fondly remember the Granada because of its appearances in The Sweeney, but fleet buyers across the land were turning to the new big Ford, as the rival Rover and Triumph 2000s were beginning to look stuffy by the beginning of the 1970s.

In the mid 1960s, BMW introduced a coupé based on their successful 2000 saloon with strikingly aggressive styling in a body built by German coach builders, Karmann. By 1971, this range had been joined by a very much improved car, the 3.0CS, still wearing the Karmann built body but powered by the latest 180bhp 3-litre engine and with a reworked chassis and 4-wheel disc brakes. The BMW E9 Coupé was one of the most handsome cars ever to roll from the Munich factory. Sleek as a shark, it had a wonderfully elegant and airy cabin with slim windscreen pillars, a large glass area and a tastefully restrained wooden dash.

First released in 1964, the Ford Mustang created a storm when it hit the streets and it still does to this day. Ford wanted to make the Mustang affordable and therefore it needed to share much of its engineering with an existing Ford product. They decided to base the Mustang on the smallest US Ford at the time, the Falcon. The Mustang was initially offered as either a ‘notchback’ coupé or convertible. It shared its front double-wishbone/coil spring and leaf spring rear suspension with the Falcon. Compared to the Falcon its cockpit sat further back on the chassis, resulting in a longer front end and shorter rear design and both its roof and cowl were also lower in comparison. These proportions, combined with iconic detailing such as the running horse in the grille, the cut away side detailing and the rear lights divided into three sections, ensured that the Mustang became a car people were instantly passionate about. Built on 29th April 1965, this 289 Fastback Mustang was originally delivered to its first owner in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA. It was finished in Silver Blue Metallic with White Crinkle Vinyl with Blue Appointments and the more desirable Pony interior, which featured luxuries such as door-mounted courtesy lights, a woodgrain Deluxe steering wheel and a five-dial instrument panel features the car still retains to this day.

The last owner of this car in the States, a Dr T. Pollard of Tennessee, owned the car from 1993 to 2014,. It was within the final 4 years of his ownership that he decided to have the car restored and present it to his wife as a very special gift. It’s rumoured that Mrs Pollard was so pleased with her ‘new toy’ that she regularly showed the car at Mustang Club events thereafter! Our vendor purchased this car in the summer of 2014 and had it shipped back to the UK and registered as ‘FNA 421C.’ Upon arrival, the car was sent to marque specialists, The Mustang Workshop in Basingstoke for fettling. Bills in the history file show that more than £2,000 worth of work was undertaken. Finished in metallic light blue with a full beige vinyl interior and housing a 4-speed manual gearbox with a Hurst shifter, the car also incorporates GT front fog lights, air conditioning, chrome wheels and the Rally-Pac, which refers to the steering column mounted tachometer and clock - an option discontinued by Ford in 1966. Supplied with an MoT certificate valid until 12th August 2015, bills of recent work carried out and a UK V5C, this beautifully restored Mustang is an opportunity not to be missed by any muscle car fans.

1994 Ford Escort Cosworth 2.0 Lux
The Ford Escort RS Cosworth proved that it was possible to follow its legendary 1980s Sierra namesake. Just like the Lancia Integrale and Subaru Impreza, this was a Group A rally car for the road - pure and simple. The car was designed and engineered in Boreham, was styled by noted designer Stephen Harper, and ended up being assembled by Karmann in Germany. At launch in 1994, two models were available, the clubspec standard car at £21,380 and the Lux version, which included electric windows, heated screen, sunroof, and Recaro seats. Power was up slightly from the Sierra RS Cosworth, at 227bhp, and performance consequently improved. The first 2500 cars up to May 1994 suffered from turbo lag, but the the next 4500 were improved thanks to their smaller Garrett T25 Turbo. In 1995, the RS Cosworth was treated to a mild facelift where it received a new honeycomb grille, restyled bumpers, a more attractive fascia and revised alloy wheels. The car continued until early 1996, when emissions regulations forced it out of production. Like pretty much every RS Ford, it was a classic from the moment it was built... Described as being a superb example of Fords legendary Escort Cosworth that has led a very pampered life in the hands of its current owner, the mileage of just under 48500 is warranted by MOTs going back to 1997.

original Ford service book indicates a RS specialist last serviced the car in June of last year and also fitted 4 new tyres at the same time. The 2.0 litre petrol turbo charged engine fires readily from cold with no blue smoke or nasty knocks or rattles. All levels are clean and fresh and all hoses are clean and supple. It drives both smoothly and swiftly with nicely weighted steering and firm brakes that track both straight and true. All electrics and gauges work perfectly and when warm the temperature gauge sits at exactly half way and never moves. Externally the Mallard Green bodywork is reported to be very straight, the gloss of its paintwork is deep and the shut lines and gaps are reassuringly symmetrical and narrow, likewise the interior is a superb place to be, the leather is clean and supple and both seats retain their shape and supportiveness and the rear seats appear unused. It’s likely that Escort Cosworths will rise in value like their Sierra Cosworth cousins, and this surely is one of the best examples available. Sold with a new MOT this has to be one of the nicest Escort Cosworths around, if you had one and miss it or always promised yourself one, then don’t miss out on this beautiful example.

The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III was regarded by many as the finest in the company’s history and, indeed, was proudly advertised as “the best car in the world”. Even with the introduction of its successor, the Shadow, production of the ‘chassis Cloud III’ ran alongside at the factory into 1966. Rolls-Royce knew it would be a hard act to follow with their new monocoque design. It was powered by an all-alloy 6300cc V8, an engine that was remarkably smooth and efficient; it remained RollsRoyce’s power-plant for many years. With such a majestic presence it would become the first choice for celebrities and aristocrats.

Super Touring was a motor racing formula for touring cars defined by the FIA in 1993. It was based on the 2-litre touring cars from the 1990 British Touring Car Championship. The FIA organised a World Cup from 1993-1995 and adopted the term ‘super tourer’ from 1995. Super touring replaced Group A as the pinnacle of touring car championships around the world but due to the withdrawal of works teams the category sadly ended in 2000. This 1997 Honda Accord super tourer is the first Prodrive built Honda and was driven by Gabrielle Tarquini in the 1997 British Touring Car Championship. Under the superb stewardship of Tarquini, chassis number PRO-ST/H-9701 achieved five podium finishes including a fantastic victory at Thruxton and an impressive 6th overall in the championship for that year. An extensive and sympathetic restoration has recently been completed.

1993 Jaguar XJ220
The story behind the Jaguar XJ220 is an inspiring one. Professor Jim Randall, the head of Jaguar’s engineering department, started the ball rolling by sketching out some ideas whilst on a Christmas holiday in the 1980s. It was the stuff of fantasies - V12, 4WD, slippery body with ground effects. Together with colleagues in the ‘Saturday Club’ at Jaguar (so called because they met out of hours and at weekends to work on unofficial pet projects) they toyed with the concept until Jaguar started getting genuinely excited by the idea and official plans were put in place to build what was to be the fastest ever road car. The Birmingham Motor Show in 1988 saw the unveiling of the powered concept with the design featuring a V12, fuel injected, 48-valve 530BHP engine delivering its output to all four wheels. Ultimately, the use of the V6 allowed the chassis to be shortened, although the proportions of this car are still truly impressive. The engine sits behind the two seat cabin, with a tiny boot available behind that. The styling is heavily influenced by the need to cool the highly tuned engine and also to provide sufficient downforce to keep the car steady at the 217mph top speed.

To say this is an incredibly special Jaguar is somewhat of an understatement. We are told by the vendor that chassis no 2207773 was built by TWR Jaguar in Oxford in 1992/3 before being dispatched to Jaguar Dealer Nellemann in Denmark. The car covered very little mileage in intervening years and is now ready to come back to the UK. At 24,000km, and befitting of a car of this nature, the car then became the property of flamboyant Caps Dealer in Denmark who sold it to our vendor in the Danish Jaguar Club. There’s no doubt about it, this car’s visually striking aesthetic is matched by its power and drivability. It may be 20 years old but this Jaguar looks like it’s ready to take on a McLaren P1! Having owned this car for a substantial period of time, the vendor informs us that the driving experience of this car is totally addictive. Turn the ignition key, hit the starter button and behind your head the Group C derived V6 bursts aggressively into life. Harsh metallic whips of sound lash wildly from the engine bay - it’s a noise straight from the Le Mans pit lane. Once up to speed it becomes addictive to lift off the accelerator and listen to the frenetic mixture of turbo waste gate chatter. Continuing to feed power through the gearbox only results in more drama as it reaches the limits of its abilities before the brace of mighty turbochargers reach full compression and the

1963 Lotus Cortina FIA Race Car
Legendary motor racer, Colin Blower, started his racing career in 1973 , beginning in production sports car racing and progressing to saloons, TVR Tuscans, British GT and Masters Historic racing. Always highly competitive, Colin has clocked up hundreds of race wins and 9 national sports car championships as well as victory in the TVR Tuscan Challenge too. His talents were perhaps epitomised when he secured pole position at Donington in the famous race where Nigel Mansell took part and was then outqualified and out raced by Colin! This Lotus Cortina has been a race car since 1990 and was originally raced with the HSCC. Colin Blower bought this car from HSCC racer, Nick Humphries, in 1998 and promptly put the car in to storage where it was to stay until 2012! Having sold Colin Blower Motorsport in 2012 and effectively retired, Colin then commenced a detailed and comprehensive restoration project on the car with the help of a local university student with the original intent of racing the car with his son. The shell was considered not strong enough for an FIA race car project and a new left hand drive shell from Hungary, was sourced by Brian Whitfield of Roberts Motor Bodies. This was duly converted to right hand drive and fully prepared for racing by him to include the fitment of an FIA roll cage.

The straight cut close ratio gearbox, lightweight bell housing and tail shaft were rebuilt by renowned Lotus expert, Guy Smith of Northampton and the ‘A’ frame rear axle and limited slip diff expertly fitted by Colin. FIA spec suspension, brakes and high ratio steering box were rebuilt and fitted along with new front and rear bumpers. FIA dampers, correct lower track control arms, straight lower ball joint/steering arms and an FIA spec roll bar were fitted and the car also benefitted from a new wiring harness, racing type lightweight battery, FIA fire system and period guages.

Coming to the sale with 2 sets of wheels, the car has not been driven or raced by Colin as his current state of health sadly prohibits this from happening.

1989 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo 3.3 Targa
The first 911 3.0 Turbo appeared back in 1975, in what was intended to be a run of just 500 cars - little did Porsche know that nearly 40 years on they would still be making turbo-charged versions of the model! Using an RS derived 3.0-litre flat-six air-cooled engine with a KKK turbo, a then-mind-blowing 260bhp and 253lb/ft torque was on tap, but only when the engine felt that it had spooled the turbo to sufficient revs to deliver. The effect was legendary, as was the turbo lag, giving the pilots of early cars near heroic status - even if they were constantly picking sprigs of hedge out of the impressive over-size rear spoiler! Internally coded 930/30, they were cars of enormous character and somewhat limited brakes, coming from the much less rapid 911S. Much rarer than the Coupé model, only 320 Turbo Targas were made in total for the European market between 1987 and 1989.
The car has covered some 116,300 miles with a comprehensive service history comprising 21 stamps to date; the last only 2,000 miles ago in June 2012. The first eight stamps are by main agents, North Hants Porsche, the next 10 by 911 specialists, Two Plus Two of Brierley Hill, and the next two by PCT Porsche of Coventry. There are also many invoices for routine maintenance, including a complete new clutch kit at 106,994 miles.
Originally supplied in May 1989, by Parker & Parker of Kendal, Cumbria, to first owner, Charles Carter of C&A Carter Ltd, for the sum of £58,000. This same car was sold some 18 days later to dealer, William Loughran Ltd, for £100,000. Clearly a product of the crazy 80’s classic car boom, the car lasted only 3 hours in the showroom of the aforementioned dealer, before it was sold on again to International Sports Cars Ltd for £110,000 (supporting documentation on file).

In highly original condition throughout, it has the odd cosmetic blemish that you would expect on a car of this age but appears to be a fundamentally sound example that could be easily restored to tip-top condition if desired. The Targa roof fits well and is totally weatherproof. Always garaged when not in use, it comes with a fitted Porsche car cover that it has had from new plus all its original handbooks in the original wallet, along with an MOT until February 2016 and V5C registration document.

1972 Porsche 911 3.0 RSR Replica - FIA/HTP Race Car
The Porsche RSR was introduced in 1973 with a 2.8 litre engine and was to be aimed at racing teams who wanted an ‘off the shelf’ racing car to compete at the highest level. Predominantly, this would be long distance endurance racing, such as the Le Mans 24 hours and such like events. Only 49 of the 2.8 litre engined cars were produced as factory-built customer racing cars, making them some of the rarest Porsches ever made.
of the car, our vendor sourced an original set of correct period Fuchs wheels at the cost in excess of $10,000 USD.
In 2002 this car was built from an original 1972 911 E to 2.7 RS Narrow body specification by Porsche stalwart Paul Edwards. He went on to race the car in the Porsche Club GB Championship for the following 3 seasons with great success.
In the hands of our vendor, himself a successful ex-World Endurance Championship racer and multiple British Modsports Champion, this car showed its pedigree by winning on its last 2 outings in September 2014 at the Circuit Remparts D’Angouleme. Taking the spoils in the ‘Henri Pescarolo grid’ and the Allcomers Scratch Race, it proved to be the fastest GT car of the event.
A further evolution of the car came in 2007 when it was decided to rebuild it to ‘73 2.8 RSR Wide-Body Specification in readiness for the 2008 Le Mans Classic. However that particular year, there were a plethora of Porsche entries into the event and the organisers felt that a variety of cars was needed for each Plateau, and so this car was not granted an entry for that reason. The next stage of development was to rebuild the engine to 3.0 RSR specification which was duly undertaken. This included original twin plug heads. In 2012 the car was subject to a comprehensive refresh by Porsche factory recommended specialist Parr Motorsport, with bills in the history file totalling more than £25,000. Upon purchase

Built on 18th August 1960 at the Osnabrueck factory in Germany, this car was destined for the warmer climate of Los Angeles, California and was originally finished in Anthracite with a silver / beige leatherette upholstery.

The 1973 Porsche 911S represented the pinnacle of Porsches sportscar program in the early 1970s, bettered only in performance terms by the 2.7RS. It was the last year of non-impact bumpers and lightweight cars. The 1973 ‘S’ had the final development of the free revving 2.4 litre type 911/53 engine producing 190bhp. The transmission also benefitted from the new 915 gearbox which was stronger and offered an improved gear change. The ‘aero’ package was improved by the fitment of a front valance spoiler which reduced front end lift. Coupled with Porsche’s total domination of the World Sportscar Championship and Steve McQueens endorsement in the film, ‘Le Mans’, they could do no wrong with the now iconic 1973 911S and derivatives.

start and all 1970’s switchgear. A Sparco black suede race steering wheel of the 1970’s style plus date-correct Rennsport bucket seats (XXL DEKA approved with strong frames) on sliding 964 runners make a previously terrible driving position perfectly comfortable, even if you’re 6’5”. Finally, correct style 16” original Fuchs wheels - front and rear - with correct spacers, blacked-out oil, period rear light units, 3.6 engine bay badging, plus rear Gulf Racing grill-badge complete the package. Previous service history in the original service book shows 12 services, all at official Porsche centres until 2000 and 11 services until 2013, mainly with Chelsea Carrera and Pro9 Porsche. Serviced at AFN in January 2015, it has a very thick file of original and sundry invoices too. The tracker is paid until 2019 and will transfer to new owner, as can the contact details of several journalists who have approached the owner with a view to featuring the car in several related magazines. Very few Backdate 911s have the true period accuracy that this one has. Fewer still have had such sums of money lavished on them as have been ploughed into this car - more than £50,000! It has been an obsessive mission by our vendor to ensure that it doesn’t look like a mix and match pastiche with the wrong vents or modern buttons. The result is a 911 that looks right, sounds right and goes exceptionally well, given that several hundred kilos have been shed!

This vehicle was one of a series designed to serve as a mobile classroom, to travel around the dealership network training mechanics in the procedures required to maintain the newly introduced front-wheel-drive Mini. The driving cabin could accommodate five, with three passengers on a bench seat behind the driver. Access to the rear classroom area was through a sliding door in the double-skinned bulkhead. The classroom could accommodate up to nine students plus instructors. This MTU had already been converted into a transporter when it was discovered by the late Graham Galliers in a disused railway station at Rednal near Oswestry, Shropshire in the early 1990s, but four years would pass before he finally managed to persuade the then owner to part with it. The restoration took nearly ten years and was not completed until 2005. Graham decided to restore the transporter as a replica of BMC 34, which was the MTU converted into a transporter in 1966 by BMC Competitions to carry two Minis. One of the first events for the vehicle was the 1967 Marathon de la Route and it became a regular team fixture at rallies and races latterly supporting minis in the British Saloon Car championship. Sadly BMC 34 no longer exists as it was destroyed by fire. Graham’s skillful conversion of 168 XUS has created an extremely practical transporter, ready to use for historic racing

events. Loading the transporter is simplicity itself, with a hydraulically operated rear tailgate incorporating integral slide out ramps. A new electric winch has been discretely fitted and the profile of the ramps allows even low ground clearance cars to be easily loaded. The cab offers ample seating and there is a small galley and side opening doors. Unusually for a vehicle of this age it was originally fitted with light and direct power steering, making it easy to drive. The original BMC engine has been replaced with a more powerful modern six cylinder 6.0 Litre Cummins 180 turbo diesel engine driving through a six-speed syncro gearbox to the original 2 speed Eaton back axle. This set-up makes the vehicle very practical for long distances with a 60mph cruise and gives excellent trailer towing capability. Should the new owner ever wish to revert to the original BMC engine, it is available, including the original engine cover and gearbox. In addition a spare brand new windscreen is available. Described by the vendor as in good condition, this historic ex-works BMC is offered with assorted correspondence, copies of period photographs and related literature, ‘as found’ photographs, restoration invoices, current road fund license and Swansea V5. Although the V5 for this vehicle records it as being manufactured in 1959, the vendor believes that it may date from 1961.

The Morgan 3-Wheeler has been an icon of the British motoring scene and was the mainstay of early production at the Worcestershire firm. It was the first car that Sir Stirling Moss drove legally on the road and other notable owners have included Brigitte Bardot and Ralph Lauren. In 1968, Mick Jagger drove Marianne Faithful to the Old Bailey to face a drugs charge in his yellow example. To mark the companies centenary, they decided in 2010 to build the 3-wheeler again with a ‘nod’ to modern motoring. The result was a vehicle that epitomised its early reputation for handling and performance.

They went on to win the World Sportscar Championship in the same year, becoming only the second manufacturer to beat Ferrari at the time. This inspiration led the factory to return to World Sportscars Racing during the last decade, under the guiding eye of Aston Martin owner and Chairman, David Richards, through his world renowned Prodrive Racing Team in Banbury.

1978 Ferrari 308 GTS
Enzo Ferrari’s son, Alfredino “Dino” Ferrari, had a promising career as an engineer and businessman and was poised to take over his father’s motoring empire, continuing the Ferrari legacy through the next generation. Dino gained experience working alongside some of the greatest engineers in history, such as Vittorio Jano. He is credited with the concept of the big-bore 4-cylinder 750 Monza and convincing his father of the merits of a compact V6. Sadly, he became ill and passed away at the age of twenty-four but his legacy lived on in the form of the Dino 246GT and the unbroken line of mid-engined V8 cars that continue today. Dino’s 2.4 litre twin-overhead cam V6 was a jewel of an engine. It was fitted to the first mid-engine regular production Ferrari and became the lifeblood of the brand for the next 45 years. The successor to the Dino, the mighty 308, gained two cylinders and earned a Ferrari badge. The 308 GTB/GTS became the company’s most successful model to date, selling more than 12,000 examples over a 10 year production span. As the volume leader for so many years, the 308 was often toward the bottom of the collectability scale and many suffered from poor maintenance. Properly maintained 308s are now highly sought-after and the model is enjoying a welldeserved and dramatic rise in collectability.
wore fiberglass bodies. It is finished in Rosso Corsa and Nero leather; a combination that is ideally suited to the Pininfarina-designed body. The overall condition is very pleasing and the car presents well, in all-round good condition. The paint and body are straight, clean and tidy attesting to its genuine 68,500Kms. The original wheels are excellent and the black leather cockpit is in very nice patinated but original condition, testament to this car receiving dutiful care. This example has electric windows and optional air conditioning, should you decide to leave the removable roof panel in place. A recent full service costing more than 5,000 Euro was completed in late 2014, ensuring this Ferrari is ready to be thoroughly enjoyed.

This is a very fine honest and original example of what is now amongst the most collectable of all the variations of the 308. Maintained by the same mechanic for all of its life and benefitting from being the property of just one gentleman, important 308s like this are increasingly sought after for their classic style as well as their road manners which make the Ferrari 308 a true joy to drive. A removable roof panel allows that ‘wind in the hair’ feeling and direct steering balanced mid-engine handling, combined with that frenetic V8 sucking air and fuel through a quartet of Weber carburetors over your shoulder, makes this 308 GTS a thrill at any speed.

1969 Ford Escort Twin Cam
From the start of the Escort range, Ford had intended to produce sporting versions of its new model; the first of this special breed of Escort was the Lotus engined TwinCam. The Twin-Cam used the same 1558cc engine as the Lotus Cortina. This meant 110bhp and a top speed of 115mph. Externally, there was little difference between the Escort Twin-Cam and its tamer sister, the Escort GT. A reinforced bodyshell with wider wheel arches and quarter bumpers hid the uprated suspension and front disc brakes were standard equipment. The Escort Twin-Cam was conceived and developed by Ford’s Boreham-based competitions department during 1967 and unleashed on an unsuspecting public during January 1968; going on to achieve many international race and rally victories during its short production life. Ford entered their first event with the Escort, taking part in the new formula of motorsport, Rallycross and also entering at an event at Croft (still used today); the Escort Twin-Cam won 4 races out right. The Ford works team was practically unbeatable in the late 1960s and 1970s with, arguably, the Escort’s greatest victory in the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally. In total, just over 883 Escort Twin-Cams were built before production ended in 1971 to make way for the BDA Cosworth powered RS1600.

Over the years, many Twin Cams have been raced, rallied or modified, which is what makes the opportunity to acquire this standard road-spec car so special. ‘APG 359H’ has been extensively restored to original specification, including a bare metal respray in the preferred Twin Cam colour of Ermine White, a complete engine overhaul with forged Powermax pistons and a period Astrali steering wheel to complete the interior look. This car rides on correct Twin Cam Wheels which are fitted with new tyres. An extensive history file that documents the complete ownership history from new, old MoT certificates, invoices, restoration pictures and even the original chassis plates, make this car a very exciting prospect indeed. An original owner’s handbook also remains in situ. Rarely do Mk.I Escorts of this quality come onto the open market, let alone a rare Twin Cam engined example. With prices of fast Fords seemingly continuing to rise, this car would not embarrass in any serious car collection today and certainly cannot be overlooked.
